Word is that the Kartel remnants set up shop in Mount Hardt. The still mountain provides a natural fortress for the Kartels, making it difficult to round them up. An air raid is the only viable solution, except that the Kartel leader Hyena Kief armed his stronghold with antiaircraft turrets. Destroy the turrets before air support arrives.

Vaughn Walshuted |
| Briefing |
Vaughn Walshuted: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but news is that the remnants of Kartel have set up shop in Mount Hardt as a last-ditch effort. We must nip them in the bud before they regroup."
Zeldine: "Mount Hardt is a natural fortress. Its geographical features don't allow entry to large armies, but from the sky it's an open ground. We bombard the Kartels from the sky and wipe them out at once. If you can infiltrate their stronghold and keep them busy, we'll make an air raid in the meantime. This operation requires close collaboration with a Mechanic, so we've invited Melvin as our advisor. Please go talk to him." |
| Objectives |
Listen to Melvin's instructions on the Mount Hardt operation. |
| Upon Completion |
Melvin Richter: "Hey, you came at the right time. I've contacted everyone involved in this operation. Now everything else rests on your shoulders." |

Melvin Richter |
| Dungeon |
Mount Hardt Showdown |
| Briefing |
Melvin: "Mount Hardt is thickly wooded with bamboo, more so than the bamboo forest adjacent to Ghent that the Kartels destroyed, so it's better for soldiers to move individually than in groups. I'll ask the staff to launch the operation around the time you arrive in the mountain. Your job is to get rid of all the enemy missile turrets you see and make sure nothing will get in the way of our air support unit. Don't fret. This is as much of a hassle to me as it is to you. Sigh, all right. How about we do this? Accomplish this mission, and I'll give you the thing you've been collecting. Now go." |
| Objectives |
Destroy 8 missile turrets in Mount Hardt Showdown.
- Missile Turret A: 0/4
- Missile Turret B: 0/4
|
| Upon Completion |
Melvin: "I've heard the news. That should have facilitated air support." |

Mount Hardt Showdown |
| Briefing |
Melvin: "The air support unit has contacted me to say that it doesn't have enough supplies to support you. Sigh, I hate war and I hate that we never have enough supplies to do it. Oh well, we can always be self-sufficient. Go get some cannonballs from Vulcan Cannoneers in Mount Hardt." |
| Objectives |
Collect 15 Kartel Cannonballs from Vulcan Cannoneers in Mount Hardt Showdown. (Vulcan Cannoneers appear only when you or party members enter the Boss map on an Assaultroid.)

| Upon Completion |
Melvin: "Good job. It's old, but replace a few components, and it'll be usable." |

Mount Hardt Showdown |
| Briefing |
Melvin: "Now it's time to catch Hyena Kief, the leader of the remnants. That guy is not even as good as Gizel, and yet he thinks he owns the world. Catch him, so the other remnants surrender without fear of him. If you fail this, you'll be responsible for the resurrection of the Kartel. Use air support wisely." |
| Objectives |
Defeat Hyena Kief in Mount Hardt Showdown.
|
| Dungeon Dialogue |
Upon encountering Hyena Kief:
Hyena Kief: "Mwa hah hah! You'll never catch me! This power... I'm unbeatable! Gizel and even the Seven Shards are not a match for me!"
Upon defeating Hyena Kief:
Hyena Kief: "Grr... You! I can't believe you caught me!"
<Player>: "Hyena Kief was desperately holding onto this. It's... an Interdimensional Fragment?!" |
| Upon Completion |
Melvin: "You're late. Was it so difficult to beat him? I'll hand over Kief to Zeldine. Thank the gods, I don't have to hear her nagging me anymore. By the way, I wonder how Kief was able to operate such a dreadful machine... He wasn't smart enough to create a compact, yet powerful energy source for the engine."
<Player>: (Interdimensional Fragment... It's a dangerous weapon in the hands of the wrong people. I'd better use it with caution.) |

I think it moved into this world when the Great Metastasis took place. According to my investigation, it doesn't have any power of its own. It's part labendium and part carateum. Interestingly, when subject to electrical stimulation, its molecular structure... ...Never mind. Just take it. I assume you know how to seal items, so I won't give you a lecture. Handle it with care, though. You don't want to have another Great Metastasis happen on you." |
