Quests (Infinite Equilibrium)

Back to Underfoot

Level 27
Quest Giver Skardi
Briefing Skardi: "Adventurer, I'm sorry it's such short notice, but please head back to Underfoot. Rumor has it the Dark Elves might close their city to the outside world because of their internal situation. Underfoot is the current heart of the Arad Continent, patronized by people at the top of their game. There, you have a better chance to find out about the Black nightmare than you do here. Most members of the Resistance, I for instance, are wanted by the Empire, and it's too risky for us to show up in busy places like Underfoot. But it's not for you. Of course, we'll share with you the information we gather from other sources."

<Player>: "Sure, I've been here long enough. I can go somewhere else more crowded for a change."

Skardi: "There's a supporter of the Resistance in Underfoot. Tell him I sent you, and he'll be glad to help you. Please be careful. Underfoot is not safe from the scrutiny of the Empire."
Objectives Relay Skardi's message to Klonter. (If you perform this quest, Vaughn and Queen Maya disappear from Underfoot. You will also have to perform other quests linked to this quest and reactivate the NPCs, or you will not be able to perform certain quests.)
  • Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion Klonter: "Hello. My name is Klonter. So, you have something to tell me?"

Exploring the Spider Kingdom

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Dungeon Spider Kingdom
Briefing Klonter: "I get it. You're curious as to why I'm helping the Resistance. All I want is the peace of Arad, and the Empire is too threatening to its neighboring states including ours. So I'm helping the Resistance to keep the Empire in check. You might not have heard this, since you just arrived, but peace envoys from the Empire are in town for the temporary peace treaty between the two states, and the security around the city is tighter than usual. I don't know much about the Black Nightmare, but if you want to look around the area, then you should start from the Castaway Cave. It's a restricted area, but you're a collaborator of the Resistance. I'll get a special permit for you. Good luck."
Objectives Search Spider Kingdom. (This quests cannot be completed if Viola dies.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the Dungeon:

Viola: "Are you the special adventurer from Sir Klonter? My name is Viola in the Black Rock Legion. I don't know how you got a special permit, but I'll keep an eye on you until I'm sure you're harmless. The ruins of the Spider Kingdom have long been under Underfoot's management, and there's nothing interesting for adventurers like you."

Upon entering Room B1:

Viola: "Since the fall of the Spider Kingdom, only a few spiders remain in the ruins. There are strange rumors about the place, but you can't believe everything you hear. Just look around once, so we can get back to Underfoot."

Upon encountering Hunter Lotayla:

Hunter Lotayla: "*Hiss* Halt, Dark Elf! This land belongs to us Spiders! Did you forget our treaty?!"

Viola: "Don't listen to some delirious spider. Why is the Underground Garrison not doing anything about crazies like her?"

Upon entering the Boss Room:

Viola: "Wait, that's... No way..."

Upon defeating the Boss:

Viola: "...Adventurer, I have to go report to my superiors. Please don't go astray. Go straight back to Underfoot."
Upon Completion Klonter: "I'm sorry but you can go only as far as the Spider Kingdom. It's because of security reasons during the visit from the Empire. That place has long been under Underfoot's management. I wouldn't be surprised if there was nothing much to see. Huh? The solider who accompanied you reacted strangely?"

Princess of the Spider Kingdom

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter

Briefing Klonter: "Some spider mentioned a treaty and the soldier paled. I don't think the treaty means the recent peace treaty with the Empire. This is confusing. I'm sorry, but could you go back and check the place again?"

Angelina's Proposition

Level 27
Quest Giver Spider Princess Angelina
Briefing If character is a thief:

Spider Princess Angelina: "Why did you come here? You really don't want to break the old treaty your kind made with us."

<Player>: "The old treaty... What old treaty?"

Spider Princess Angelina: "The one we made in fall two hundred years ago. Maybe you're too young to know that, but your elders should've taught you properly. You're young, but you're impressive nonetheless. I'm looking for able warriors like you. How about you help me, and I'll forgive you for intruding my kingdom? I also promise my eternal friendship to you. Adventurous Dark Elf, this is not a bad proposition for you. You should think it over."


If character isn't a thief:

Spider Princess Angelina: "You're not a Dark Elf. You must be an adventurer. It's hard to believe the Dark Elves let other races in their territory. Hm, you look strong. I'm looking for able warriors like you. How about you help me, and I'll forgive you for intruding my kingdom? I also promise my eternal friendship to you. Adventurer from a different race, this is not a bad proposition for you. You should think it over."
Objectives Relay Angelina's proposition to Klonter.

Prince of the Spider Kingdom

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Dungeon Spider Kingdom
Briefing Klonter: "After you headed out to the Spider Kingdom, that thought crossed my mind, but I dimissed it as a crazy idea. But now I'm thinking it wasn't too crazy an idea from the first place. You said you were in the west side of the Spider Kingdom. Could you check the east side? I need more proof, so I can report this to the Queen. Please go check if what I'm thinking is right."
Objectives Explore the east side of the Spider Kingdom and meet the person in the deepest part.

Nicholas's Proposition

Level 27
Quest Giver Spider Prince Nicholas
Briefing If character is a thief:

Spider Prince Nicholas: "Dark Elf, did you forget our two-hundred-year-old treaty? Do you have a death wish?"


If character is not a thief:

Spider Prince Nicholas: "How dare you intrude my territory? Do you have a death wish?"


Spider Prince Nicholas: "Hm, but I must admit that you're impressive, taking care of my soldiers so easily like that. All right, I'll let you live, and in return, you'll serve me. Since the passing of the great King Baboon, the Spider Kingdom has been thrown into chaos by a group of traitors. As the legitimate heir to the throne, I, Nicholas, am responsible for the stability of my kingdom. But my sister rebelled against me and she's gained quite a big following. I want you to be my weapon. Help me and get rid of Princess Angelina, and I'll forgive that you broke our treaty and trespassed my domain. You need time to prepare. Hm, I like your attitude. Just don't make me wait for too long."
Objectives Relay Nicholas's proposition to Klonter.
  • Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion Klonter: "Ah, my guess was right. Nicholas and Angelina are the two siblings who drove their kingdom to ruin with their rivalry. But they died a long time ago, their existence should only be a record in history. This proves that the Spider Kingdom has been resurrected. I'd better let others know."

Mages' Guild Master Sharan

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Briefing Klonter: "It's not important why or how the Spider Kingdom is resurrected. We must contain the situation before the Empire takes notice of it, but because of that same reason I can't mobilize my army. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. That's why i need your help, Adventurer. I'll reward you with a free pass to Underfoot and to the Castaway Cave. It's a special privilege not allowed even to most native Dark Elves of Underfoot. What do you say? Thank you. Then please go to the Mages' Guild Master Sharan. She knows about the Spider Kingdom better than I do, so she'll be helpful to you."
Objectives Go to Mages' Guild Master Sharan.
  • Meet Sharan: 0/1
Upon Completion Sharan: "Welcome. I'm Sharan, the master of the Mages' Guild, dean of the Magic Academy, and court mage.

Different Choices, Different Outcome

Level 27
Quest Giver Sharan
Briefing Sharan: "History tells the Spider Kingdom declined after King Baboon died from disease, and the two royal siblings, Angelina and Nicholas, were so busy squabbling with each other that they let their country fall under the onslaught of the Dwarves. Based on what you just told me, I assume the Spider Kingdom is resurrected to a point of time that follows King Baboon's death. There must have been an external intervention in the kingdom's resurrection, but we don't have time to look into it right now. Now that both the siblings want you help, you can choose whoever you want to help eliminate the other. They're evenly matched in strength, so we'll respect you decision."
Objectives Decide your camp, and then talk to Sharan.

    • "Spider Princess Angelina"

Objectives Help Spider Princess Angelina defeat Nicholas.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Spider Princess Angelina:

Spider Princess Angelina: "So you're ready. You've made the right decision to help me."

Upon encountering Spider Prince Nicholas:

Spider Prince Nicholas: "Angelina, you came. Adventurer, it was foolish of you to have turned against me."

Spider Princess Angelina: "No, he's made the right decision. Brother, things have changed. Father made the treaty with the Dark Elves because he wanted peaceful coexistence. We must continue to honor his wishes."

Spider Prince Nicholas: "Your weak mind is your undoing. The only way we can thrive is by bringing other races into submission. Angelina, I'm sorry, but this kingdom doesn't need weak spiders like you."
Upon Completion Spider Princess Angelina: "Brother, rest in peace..."

Objectives Help Spider Prince Nicholas defeat Angelina.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Spider Prince Nicholas:

Spider Prince Nicholas: "Are you ready? Let's go."

Upon encountering Spider Princess Angelina:

Spider Princess Angelina: "Brother, you came. Father just passed away, and all you're thinking is taking his throne. You should be ashamed of yourself."

Spider Prince Nicholas: "Are you talking about me, or you? I was the legitimate heir to his throne, until you convinced Father in his deathbed to change his will. You should kill yourself in front of his tomb for deceiving him like that. Father wanted his kingdom to be strong. He was forced into the treaty with the Dark Elves two hundred years ago, but he always wanted us to rule all of Arad. Instead of honoring his wishes, you manipulated him when he was at his weakest moment and disgraced him. You deserve to be punished!"
Upon Completion Spider Prince Nicholas: "Goodbye, Angelina. History may remember you as a traitor, but you'll always be my loving sister."

Unwanted Reunion

Level 27
Quest Giver Sharan
Briefing Sharan: "I've heard you addressed the situation. Good job. I've already issued you a free pass to Underfoot and to the Castaway Cave, so you can continue with your adventure without restriction. I'd better leave now." <player>: (I don't sense the energy of the Black Nightmare in the Spider Kingdom. A fallen kingdom was brought back... What is going on with this world? I feel uncomfortable, but for now, I should gather information about the Black Nightmare as I promised the Resistance.)
Objectives Walk around Underfoot until you find a familiar face. (If you perform this quest, Hartz appears in Underfoot.)
Upon Completion Hartz: "Mm, you're..."

Klonter's Request

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Dungeon Hero's Catacomb
Briefing Klonter: "Adventurer, you said you were investigating the Black Nightmare. Am I right? Haven't you found any traces of it in the Spider Kingdom?"

<player>: "Not at all. Why?"

Klonter: "While looking into the Spider Kingdom case, we've learned that a similar event is taking place in a different area. none of us has firsthand experience with the Black Nightmare, so we need help. Adventurer, Morgan said you are very reliable. Could you help us investigate the event?"

<player>: "Morgan? Do you know Morgan in Silver Crown?"

Klonter: "Yes. He's a friend. In his recent letter to me, he wrote how you helped Silver Crown."

<player>: "I see. I want to know everything about the Black Nightmare. I'll help you."

Klonter: "Thank you so much. I'll repay you one day."
Objectives Investigate Hero's Catacomb. (This quests cannot be completed if Viola dies.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the Dungeon:

<Player>: "I knew someone was following me. It's you, again."

Viola: "Why, is there a reason that I cannot come with you? I want to keep an eye on you in case you defile the tombs of our great ancestors."

Upon entering Room C1:

Viola: "Who are they? I've never seen them before. Why are they hostile to us? Are they under the spell of the Empire?"

Upon entering the Boss Room:

Viola: "Isn't that... Deviana?!"

Deviana: "Our descendents... Our rest has been disturbed by an evil force... I'm losing my mind... Please... send us... back to..."

Upon defeating the Boss:

Viola: "This can't be happening. Deviana..."
Upon Completion Klonter: "The dead heroes have come back to life? How is that possible? The greatest seven heroes of us Dark Elves rest in peace in there. What kind of evil force has swept across the catacomb?"

Viola: "Deviana wants us to send them back to their graves first, and then find out the cause later."

Klonter: "First the Spider Kingdom, and now this. Things are getting out of control. We must investigate."

Viola: "The rest of our greatest heroes have been disturbed. What else do you want to know so much that you insist on an investigation? Underfoot doesn't have that kind of time. I'm leaving. I have to report to Saffron."

Klonter: "No, wait!"

Back to the Catacomb

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Dungeon Hero's Catacomb
Briefing Klonter: "Ah, I was afraid this would happen. The Elders have decided to bury the catacomb case without reporting to the Queen. Those fools! They're trying to ignore the problem that won't go away on its own. This is different from the Spider Kingdom incident. The kingdom was above the ground, so anything that happens in that place is hard to miss, whereas the catacomb is an underground sanctum closed off to the public. That's why the Elders can get away with their negligence. Also, it doesn't help that everyone else's attention is on the Empire."

<player>: "I didn't sense the energy of the Black Nightmare in the catacomb, but I agree the situation is serious. I'll look further into this before the Elders decide to do anything else."

Klonter: "Thank you."
Objectives Investigate Hero's Catacomb again.

Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Fourth Hero: Dark Priestess Deviana:

<Player>: "Oh, no. They're completely out of their minds."

Upon defeating the Boss:

Bador: "Ghosts... Ah... I can't take this anymore..."
Upon Completion Klonter: "You're back. The guards of the Elders didn't come. Hows the inside? ...Ghosts? But I don't believe there's a ghost powerful enough to raise the dead heroes from their graves. Maybe he's misinformed. We should go ask help to Sharan. Please come with me... Mm? Why are there so many people over there?"

Briefing Iris: "Everyone, please listen to me. The dead are rising from their graves and underground buildings are surfacing because of beings called the Apostles. They're closing in on Arad.

Upon Completion Iris: "Klonter. Did you come to seek my prophecy?"

Klonter: "What do you think you're doing? People from the Empire are everywhere, and you're speaking of an ominous prophecy out loud. Let's not forget that you also spoke of the strange phenomenon taking place in the Castaway Cave!"

Iris: "You misunderstood. I didn't know until you told me that something is happening in the Castaway Cave. I just spoke of the oracle I've received. Look around you. No one thinks danger is lurking in the Castaway Cave. But now I'm worried that they might have heard what you said and spread it to others."

Elder Saffron

Level 27
Quest Giver Elder Saffron
Briefing Elder Saffron: "Iris, I've been told you're the source of some ominous rumors circulating in Underfoot. What are you doing? Don't you know envoys from the Empire are in town?"

Iris: "Welcome, Elder Saffron. As I told Klonter, oracles come to my mind like poems would to a poet's mind, and once they do, they wouldn't stop burning until I release them. I can't hide them or twist their meanings. But don't worry. The wind that vibrates the strings of my marrelete is just an ordeal, not true doom."

Elder Saffron: "Tell me a prophecy about me. I cam here despite the protests from the other Elders who want to seal off the catacomb."
Objectives Go to Elder Saffron and continue the conversation.
  • Meet Elder Saffron: 0/1
Upon Completion Elder Saffron: "The Metastatic Energy. Do you mean the Great Metastasis that raised Underfoot above the ground?"

The Power that Raised the Dead

Level 27
Quest Giver Iris
Dungeon Hero's Catacomb
Briefing Iris: "Do you know the Metastasis? It's a power that transports animals, plants, ghosts, and even Apostles to different dimensions, like this Arad. Only the most wicked and strongest entities like Apostles can exert such power. The Dark Elves that have appeared in the catacomb are the puppets of the Apostles, a part of their scheme to throw Arad into confusion."

<player>: "Are you saying the Apostles are responsible for the rising of the dead heroes?"

Iris: "I can't say yes, just yet. I need to know more about the returned."


If player isn't a thief: Elder Saffron: "We have a man named Vaughn in town, and he's very cunning. We can't mobilize our army while he's in Underfoot. Adventurer, I want you to go check the catacomb. Seeing that you're an adventurer, it'll be an honor for you to see our greatest ancestors in person."

If player is a thief: Elder Saffron: "We have a man named Vaughn in town, and he's very cunning. We can't mobilize our army while he's in Underfoot. Adventurer, I want you to go check the catacomb. I can't trust adventurers, but you're at least one of us."


Klonter: "Adventurer, I don't mean to impose on your kindness, but please help us. If the prophecy holds true, all of Arad is in danger."
Objectives Collect Mana Cluster from Eastern Star S'halla in Hero's Catacomb.

Back to Sleep

Level 27
Quest Giver Iris
Dungeon Hero's Catacomb
Briefing Iris: "Adventurer, during your adventure, haven't you sensed similar energy to this? Try to feel the dark, heavy energy settled at the bottom of the mana of the dead."

<player>: (Iris is right. I can feel something familiar from S'halla's mana cluster.) "It feels similar to the energy of the Black Nightmare!"

Iris: "That's right. I'm familiar with it too because I encountered those enthralled by the Black Nightmare during my trips. You could have failed to take notice of its energy in the Castaway Cave because the place is still heavily under the influence of the Great Metastasis. I'll sing a song of rest for your weapon. You may not be able to avoid fighting the returned, but at least my song can make sure they will never return."

Lungel: "My distant descendant, thank you for sending me beyond history. Farewell... I can no longer hear that wicked voice that woke me..."
Upon Completion Iris: "They were glad to go back to sleep. Their minds weren't completely consumed by the Black Nightmare."

Elder Saffron: "*Snort* They were named heroes for a reason. Especially Lungel, who was the greatest hero in the history of us Dark Elves. No way they would let some evil force push them around. They returned to protect their descendants from the evil influence of the Black Nightmare."

Klonter: "Of course. I'm glad we contained the problem before it gets out of control. Adventurer. Iris. Thank you for your help."

Iris: "Don't thank me. Everything was as in the prophecy. It was the adventurer who overcame the ordeal."

Klonter's Suspicion

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Briefing Klonter: "I've been wondering: why didn't Elder Saffron stop this? That preseident of the Elders is proudful and distrusts strangers. He opposed the Queen's open policy more vehemently than anyone else. But this time, not only did he encourage you to enter the catacomb, but he stopped the other Elders who wanted to seal off the catacomb. I don't understand this about-face."
Objectives Go to Klonter and continue with the conversation.
  • Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion Klonter: "I don't know what your impression is of the Elder, and you may not be old enough to understand this, but he's not to be underestimated. Maybe it's because of Iris's prophecy. Everyone tends to believe everything Iris says, but she's...I don't want to sound as if I doubt her prophecy. After all, it was she who saved Underfoot and the Dark Elves in the Castaway Cave" during the Great Metastasis. But this time... there's something about her prophecy that doesn't feel right."

<player>: "Klonter?"

Klonter: "I'm sorry, I was just blabbering. I shouldn't have said that. I've just made you worried. Please don't mind me and continue with your adventure. Oh, and you don't have to be so polite to me. Anyone who's friends with Morgan is my friend. You've made such great contributions to Underfoot. I want to be on more friendly terms."

Dungeon Tyrant's Altar
Briefing Elder Saffron: "The Black Nightmare is wreaking havoc inside the Castaway Cave, and we're too short-handed to contain the problem internally. You need to help us. Inside the Castaway Cave, the Dwarves have built an altar that they call the Tyrant's Altar. Go check that place. I'll reward you accordingly."

<player>: "What's happening in there?"

Jakarna: "*Snort* Why, are you scared? There's nothing the Dark Elves want from us that is not dangerous. If you're too scared, then you can go home, greenhorn."

Stop the Resurrection of the Tyrant

Level 27
Quest Giver Elder Saffron
Dungeon Tyrant's Altar
Briefing Elder Saffron: "We sealed the altar after we took over this area, but it's recently been invaded by some Dwarves who have learned that their king Tanictar was awakened by some evil force. The Queen needs to focus on the conference with the Empire. I can't afford to distract her with an issue like this. We can take care of the Dwarves on our own."

<player>: "But the Dwarves are only trying to reclaim their land."

Elder Saffron: "What the Dwarves are trying to do is dig through the Castaway Cave under the command of their king Tanictar, whose greed for gold got him cursed for eternity. There's a gold mine deep inside the cave, but it's all but sealed off, its tunnels blocked after Tanictar's death. If we let them, the Dwarves will get in there and mine gold, demolishing the cave that is already unstable, causing it to collapse on all of us. Do you understand now? We must stop the tyrant from resurrecting. First, go stop his followers. Show no mercy to those foolish Dwarves."
Objectives Defeat 20 Dwarf Warriors and 15 Dwarf Barbarians.
Upon Completion Elder Saffron: "I cut down their number, but that doesn't seem to affect their mining speed."

Briefing Minet: "I've heard the Elder is sending you to the Tyrant's Altar. Did you know that an ancient Dwarf king was buried in there after he got cursed by Venus? You're healthy, so I'm not worried about you, but his anger permeating the area is so strong that many people who visited the place fell ill and died."

<player>: "No one told me that. I'd better not go."

Minet: "But you need to continue to cooperate with the Elder. I don't know if you know this, but what you're doing affects not just Underfoot but all of Arad. You want to know what I'm talking about? I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. At least not now. You should focus on whether or not you want to accept my proposition. But I can tell you this: you're about to go on the greatest adventure of your life. You could leave, or you could accept my proposition, get the self-defense device, and continue to explore. Which would you want to choose?"

Path to the Gold Tunnel

Level 27
Quest Giver Elder Saffron
Dungeon Tyrant's Altar
Briefing Elder Saffron: "The Dwarves have reappeared at the Tyrant's Altar because they want to get to the Gold Tunnel. The path to the tunnel is so confusing that only Tyrant Tanictar could navigate it without being lost. He tore the only map into pieces and hid them in different places. I want you to go find the pieces of that map. The Dwarves will continue to pour in. For now, it's more important that we keep the map away from them."
Objectives Collect map pieces from Dwarves in Tyrant's Altar.
Upon Completion Elder Saffron: "You came. Some of the map pieces you found are false, and we can tell which ones are real. Turn in your map pieces to me."

Upon Completion Klonter: "The Elders sent a large number of troops away from Underfoot. I don't know why they did it in times like this, but that left us no troops to send to investigate the Black Nightmare in the Castaway Cave. Because of that reason, the Elders wanted to seal off the cave and wait until the Imperial envoys left, but Elder Saffron insisted on the investigation and rallied adventurers. He saw the incidents at the catacomb and at the Tyrant's Altar as an opportunity to pick out skilled adventurers and make them do his bidding. Also, it was him who kept you from meeting the Queen and has controlled her surroundings. I'm suspicious of his reason to keep things secret from her. Adventurer, what are you going to do now? Things are getting more complicated around here. Underfoot is under lockdown, but if you want, I can help you leave."

<player>: "I'll continue to do what he asks. I have to investigate the Black Nightmare, anyway, so it's a win-win for everyone."

Klonter: "I'll see. I'll keep in touch. Please stay safe."

<player>: (Both the Empire and Saffron are investigating the Black Nightmare, but for what? I can't let them drag me into their fight. I'll have to stay informed about the Black Nightmare for my own survival.)

<player>: "I think I've made some progress. At least now I know the Black Nightmare is causing a lot of damage."

Annis: "I've done my own research on the Black Nightmare, and did you know about the catastrophe that took place in the Castaway Cave? I heard the ground caved in, snakes were born out of the arms of militiamen, food rotted, teeth yellowed..."

<player>: (I thought we were careful, and still we couldn't stop the rumors. Does the Empire know about it too?)

Annis: "...The dead rose from their graves, mushrooms grew on people's faces... Ugh... So terrible! A-and people say all these things happened all because of gold. Maybe the Black Nightmare is attracted to gold, but it opened the path to the forgotten Gold Tunnel. Canna said she would go in there herself as soon as the place is open to the public."

<player>: (The path to the Gold Tunnel? Does that...?) "Oh, I'm sorry, but I just remembered something I have to do immediately. Let's talk later."

We just want to help you eliminate the troublesome Dwarves, as a gesture of goodwill."

Low-ranking Knight Lenny: "Knight Master, that imbecile will be able to explore the Gold Tunnel. If he's smarter than he looks, then he'll run. If not, he'll come out of that place dead, or worse Devolved."

<player>: "But the Black Nightmare was able to come down through the barrier."

Ludmilla: "Right. It's possible whoever created the barrier only wanted to stop stuff from going up, not from coming down, or the Black Nightmare is strong enough to penetrate the barrier. Now, that's all for the message from the Resistance. I don't want to raise suspicions by talking to you for too long. Let's go our separate ways for now."

Elder Saffron: "Are you out of your mind? His previous meritorious service doesn't justify the crime he committed."

Klonter: "Of course, <player> is in the wrong, but letting him rot in prison is a waste of a skilled adventurer. Why not make him do the best, for us?"

Elder Saffron: "Hm... You have your point. All right, Adventurer. Enter the Gold Tunnel and drive all the Dwarves away. The more gold they steal, the more unstable the Castaway Cave becomes. Don't forget: you're a convict now. Don't expect respect from me."

Hartz: "Ah, you must mean the Dwarves in the gold mine. Why do you want to know?"

<player>: "An Imperial soldier I know had a slip of tongue, and I had this idea that either she'd been there herself or heard about it from the horse's mouse. The Castaway Cave and the Dark Elves allowed in the place are off limits to all of you in the Imperial Army. If none of you ever set foot in the cave, then did she know what was waking place inside it?"

Hartz: "What's your point?"

<player>: (It's time to test the water.) "The Black Nightmare started spreading inside the Castaway Cave around the time your envoys arrived. It has raised the dead from their graves and sicced monsters on innocent people. Maybe your empire..."

G.S.D: "He left. Young one, your aura is familiar to me. I guess you're the hot-blooded adventurer that recently has stirred up Underfoot. I like that you're high-spirited, but you shouldn't attract unwanted attention by squabbling in the middle of a busy street."

<player>: "I understand. Sir, this may sound silly, but do you know how to get to Empyrean?"

G.S.D: "Empyrean? Why, do you want to go there? You're quite ambitious, aren't you? That's not a bad thing. I can't answer your question, but there was a commotion in the market just a while ago. I heard people talking about another visitor from Empyrean. She's at the Underfoot Harbor."

Marlene Kitzka: "I'm sorry, but I can hardly remember how I passed through the Middle Ocean and crashed at this harbor."

<Player>: "Okay... Why did you come here if you don't know how to get back up?"

Marlene Kitzka: "To ask for help. I don't know when or how you came here, but the situation up there is pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you right now. I'm on an urgent mission, and I have to meet the queen of this kingdom. Can we talk afterward?"

<Player>: "Okay, then I'll come back later. (Did she come because of [the] Kartel or the Black Nightmare? But there was nothing like the Black Nightmare when I was still up there. What if Empyrean is also infested by it?)"

<player>: "Thank you. But what happened to Elder Saffron?"

Klonter: "He used the conference with the Empire as an opportunity to send Her Majesty away and rule her kingdom as he pleased. He exaggerated the phenomenon in the Castaway Cave, so he could declare a national emergency and play king. He recruited adventurers to extend the feigned national emergency, but that backfired on him. That arrogant man probably thought he had everything under control."

Queen Maya: "But I'm back, and my kingdom is back to normal. Adventurer, I'd like to encourage you to continue with your mission. The Elder probably didn't think the situation would get worse, but the monsters in the Heart of the Genesis are a great threat to this kingdom. The Heart of the Genesis is teeming with gargoyles that have the ability to turn their bodies to stone. They look like statues, but the moment you turn your back, they'll come to life, sinking their claws into your flesh.

Briefing Vaughn Walshuted:: "Hm, so you think someone from my empire gave this bottle to a random adventurer in Underfoot and sent him out to the Castaway Cave. That's an interesting theory. But so what? To me it's just a creepy-looking bottle. Where on the bottle does it read, 'Black Nighmare bottle by the Empire?'"

<player>: "Nowhere. But you and Lenny knew about the Metastasis effects inside the Gold Tunnel, and that makes me suspicious... Why are you looking at me like that?"

Vaughn Walshuted:: "Hmpf, I may not be as famous as Aganzo, Siran, Branga, but I'm accomplished in my own right. I'm one of the youngest knight masters in history. I fought the Apostle in the Screaming Cavern when I was younger. The Metastasis is one of many abilities of the Apostles.

Vaughn Walshuted:: "Mm, what? Hmpf, you're ticking me off the more I think about this. I wanted to be friends with you because I thought you were funny. Well, not anymore. Now I want to give you a good beating with my sword! Stop right there!"
Objectives Avoid Vaughn and report back to Queen Maya.
  • Meet Queen Maya: 0/1
Upon Completion Queen Maya: "I thought you had something in mind. It didn't work out, did it?"


<player>: "No. I thought the Empire was connected, but I think I was wrong."

Heat Fist Vartarucis

Level 27
Quest Giver Queen Maya
Dungeon Heart of the Genesis
Briefing Queen Maya: "I see. Vaughn is a here who saved Arad, and we can't accuse him of something so serious without proof. But that doesn't mean I believe everything he told you. I'll look into this further. Adventurer, I'd like you to continue to deal with the Demons of the Genesis. The only one left is Heat Fist Vartarucis, but he's the greatest form of Vartarucis, so be careful."
Objectives Defeat Heat Fist Vartarucis in Heart of the Genesis and collect Balrog's Fireball.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon defeating the Boss:


Heat Fist Vartarucis: "You're sending me back to sleep... You may be safe from my inferno now, but don't celebrate just yet. The darkness will consume Arad soon..."
Upon Completion Queen Maya: "Good job. The fireballs you brought will be sealed again with magic, and this time we'll make sure Vartarucis will never wake up again."

Rumor about an Epidemic

Level 27
Quest Giver Klonter
Briefing Klonter: "Ah, Adventurer. I don't look well, you said? I haven't slept well since I heard a rumor about an epidemic that is prevalent in my hometown, Noire Ferra. Her Majesty sent out a group of investigators escorted by the Black Rock Legion, but we lost contact with them. If they don't come back soon, Morgan and I will go look for them."


<Player>: "That explains why Viola hasn't shown up every time I go to the Castaway Cave. (She worked for Saffron, but I'm worried about her. Maybe I should ask Her Majesty about this.)"
Objectives Ask Queen Maya about the rumor of the epidemic.
  • Meet Queen Maya: 0/1
Upon Completion Queen Maya: "You've heard the rumor about an epidemic prevalent in Noire Ferra. I've been looking into it. My investigators have returned and confirmed that an epidemic has really broken out. I'm planning to send healers and mages to contain the situation."


Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Majesty, the conference between the two states ended and I don't want to overstep my bounds, seeing that I'm only a knight, but I'd like to make a suggestion on this matter as a member of your ally state. Most rumors are just rumors, but something about the rumors from Noire Ferra doesn't feel right. I suggest you send another group of investigators before medical aid."

To the City of Noire Ferra

Level 27
Quest Giver Queen Maya
Dungeon City of Noire Ferra
Briefing Queen Maya: "I value your opinion. You're a hero of the Screaming Cavern battle."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Thank you, and I'd like to be included in the investigation group. At the end of the peace conference, a criminal from my country was killed in your city. That reflects badly on both states. I'd like to see through my mission as the head security for the peace envoys before I leave your city. Please allow me."

Queen Maya: "...I guess it'll be rude of me to turn down such a friendly offer. Then I'll assign a Dark Elf warrior to escort you."

Vaughn Walshuted: "If I have a companion, I'd like it to be <Player>. The adventurer's experience and combat prowess will be very helpful."

Queen Maya: "Adventurer, you decide."

<Player>: "(...I just came and you have to do this to me. WHY?!)"

Vaughn Walshuted: "(Why not? Come on, it's going to be fun. Consider it a payback for your insult last time. I don't think she'll let me go by myself anyway. You cut me deep last time, don't you remember?)"

<Player>: "(...Hmph, all right.)"
Objectives Explore City of Noire Ferra with Vaughn. (City of Noire Ferra is inside Castaway Cave.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Vaughn Walshuted: "You took the medicine you got in Underfoot, didn't you? This place remains underground. The effects of the Great Metastasis must have not reached this far. What's this pile of stones? Did the ceiling cave in?"

Upon encountering the Dark Elf Militia Commander:

<Player>: "Dark Elves? But something's off about them."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Don't let your guard down."

Upon encountering Grim Seeker Noubillus:

Grim Seeker Noubillus: "My superiors were right about adventurers being attracted to this place like fireflies to light. I don't have time to enlighten you about the terrible consequences of your ignorance and recklessness. Why don't you just die in here quietly? I'll keep your abundant vital force."

Vaughn Walshuted: "(...Hm...?)"

Upon encountering Small Interdimensional Rift:

Vaughn Walshuted: "The rift in that space... Hm, I think the epidemic has sneaked in through that rift."

Upon encountering Phantasmal Delezie:



Vaughn Walshuted: "...Hey, take a look over there. Isn't that the lass you were talking about?"

Upon defeating Phantasmal Delezie:

<Player>: "Viola!"
Upon Completion Vaughn Walshuted: "Hey, wake up. We'd better get back to Underfoot as quickly as possible. It's good that I brought some first-aid remedies with me."

Making a Treatment

Level 27
Quest Giver Alchemist Morgan
Briefing Morgan: "Are you two okay? I'll make you some antibodies right away."

Vaughn Walshuted: "No rush. It seems this disease is more deadly to the Dark Elves than anyone else. We used some first-aid remedies I took with me, so we're not in bad shape. You need to report to your queen first. All the people of Noire Ferra are dead. And tell me how many investigators returned to Underfoot."

Morgan: "...Only one returned, but by the time I arrived, he was..."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I see. The epidemic spread in Noire Ferra came through an interdimensional rift, and its host was an illusion of Delezie."

Morgan: "Delezie?! This is bad! I'll tell Klonter to report to Her Majesty right away. But for now, you need to be treated. ...Oh, no. I don't have enough ingredients..."
Objectives Deliver the following ingredients to Morgan, so he can make a treatment.
Upon Completion Morgan: I'm sorry. I left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring enough ingredients. I'm ashamed that I'm asking my patients for help."
Vaughn Walshuted: "It's understandable. You didn't know this epidemic was alien."

Defeat Phantasmal Delezie

Level 27
Quest Giver Queen Maya
Dungeon City of Noire Ferra
Briefing Sharan: "Your Majesty, our people are struck with terror. They think Iris is right about the Apostles closing in on Arad."

Queen Maya: "We must exterminate the illusion of Delezie and reassure the general populace."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I'll get on it right away."

Queen Maya: "No, you're the Imperial Knight Master. I can't risk your life or our treaty with your state."

<Player>: "Then I'll go. I'm familiar with the structure of the place, and there's also something I want to check. And... Delezie killed someone I knew. We didn't know each other for long and she wasn't my friend, but I still want to avenge her death."
Objectives Go to City of Noire Ferra and defeat Phantasmal Delezie. (If you complete this quest, Vaughn disappears from Underfoot.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Phantasmal Delezie:

<Player>: "Ugh...! Too strong... But I wont be beat!"

Upon defeating Phantasmal Delezie:

<Player>: "It's gone... But this energy..."
Upon Completion Queen Maya: "Adventurer, welcome back. You defeated the illusion of Delezie singlehandedly. I'm deeply impressed."

<Player>: "The illusion is gone, but the energy it radiated was similar to that I felt at the Spider Kingdom, the Hero's Catacomb, and the Tyrant's Altar. The energy is similar to that of the Black Nightmare, and yet different. Iris said the energy of the Black Nightmare was eclipse by the lingering influence of the Great Metastasis, but..."

Queen Maya: "I see. Then we should continue to investigate this matter. Thank you for your hard work. The spirits of Delezie's victims will now rest in peace. You've earned the privilege to ride the royal Magatha of Underfoot. It'll be useful for travelling a long distance."

Briefing Minet: "Shush. Come over here."
Objectives Meet Minet.

You're healthy, so I'm not worried about you, but his anger permeating the area is so strong that many people who visited the place fell ill and died."

<player>: "No one told me that. I'd better not go."

Minet: "But you need to continue to cooperate with the Elder. I don't know if you know this, but what you're doing affects not just Underfoot but all of Arad."

Secret Support

Level 27
Quest Giver Minet
Briefing Minet: "I'm sorry if I sound confusing, but I can't tell you everything right now. Just tell me if you accept my proposition or not. I can tell you this.

What would that be?"
Objectives Accept Minet's proposition and bring the following materials to make a protection charm.
Upon Completion Minet: "You're smart. Here, it'll keep you safe. No, go. Forget that we've ever met."

Quest Giver Elder Saffron
Dungeon Gold Tunnel
Briefing Elder Saffron: "What are they going to do with the molten gold? They've even brought in their blacksmiths. I wonder what Wildir is up to... Adventurer, go seize all the hammers you can find from their blacksmiths. They won't be able to make anything without their hammers."
Objectives Seize hammers from Dwarf Goldsmiths.
Upon Completion Elder Saffron: "Nasty-looking hammers. So, what did you find out?"

<player>: "They were making something, as we expected, but there were so many Dwarves around it that I couldn't see it clearly."

Elder Saffron: "Mm..."

Gargoyle Hunt

Level 27
Quest Giver Queen Maya
Dungeon Heart of the Genesis
Briefing Queen Maya: "Adventurer, I know Saffron gave you a hard time while I was away and that you've made great contributions to my kingdom. I'd like to keep you close to me, so I can listen to your advice."

<player>: "Thank you. But what happened to Elder Saffron?"

Klonter: "He used the conference with the Empire as an opportunity to send Her Majesty away and rule her kingdom as he pleased. He exaggerated the phenomenon in the Castaway Cave, so he could declare a national emergency and play king. He recruited adventurers to extend the feigned national emergency, but that backfired on him. That arrogant man probably thought he had everything under control."

Queen Maya: "But I'm back, and my kingdom is back to normal. Adventurer, I'd like to encourage you to continue with your mission. The Elder probably didn't think the situation would get worse, but the monsters in the Heart of the Genesis are a great threat to this kingdom. The Heart of the Genesis is teeming with gargoyles that have the ability to turn their bodies to stone. They look like statues, but the moment you turn your back, they'll come to life, sinking their claws into your flesh. If you want to successfully finish your exploration of the place, you'll have to find out which ones are the gargoyles and which ones are actual statues."
Objectives Hunt 10 Gargoyles and 10 Gargoyle Spearmen.
Upon Completion Queen Maya: "Did they scratch you with their claws?"

Heater Vartarucis

Level 27
Quest Giver Queen Maya
Dungeon Heart of the Genesis
Briefing Queen Maya: "Vartarucis has broken out of his seal. I'd like you to send him back to his eternal sleep. Vartarucis carries a fireball in place of his heart, and it's the source of his power. Extract the fireball and seal it with magic, and he'll fall back into sleep. The spirit or Vartarucis is split and sealed inside three different Gargoyles. The Gargoyles must be destroyed, so as to prevent them from combining into one and awakening Vartarucis. First, please collect the fireball of Heater Vartarucis. He'll appear if you get rid of his guardian Gargoyles, ones with a halberd in their hands, before the others."
Objectives Defeat Heater Vartarucis in Heart of the Genesis and collect Balrog's Fireball.
Upon Completion Queen Maya: "You collected the fireball from the whip-cracking Vartarucis. You're stronger than Klonter told me you were."
