Apostle Luke in the Dark

Level 87
Quest Giver Nevillo Jurgen
Prerequisite Epic Quest Icon.png Apostle Luke's Threat Continues
Briefing Nevillo Jurgen: "Finally, it's time we bring down Luke. Adventurer. Everyone else. Thank you so much for risking your lives to fight for the peace of Empyrean, one monster after another. I, Nevillo Jurgen, would like to thank you in the absence of the Princess and on behalf of the people of Empyrean."

Meryl: "Don't you think it's too early to thank us? We haven't even fought him yet."

Azalea: "Everyone, it's true Luke is a big threat, but we shouldn't kill him. Killing him will only cause a bigger tragedy."

Dana Donatel: "What are you trying to say? His Black Nightmare already cost numerous lives. Why do you think we're here? We have only one opportunity to stop this evil Apostle."

Isabella: "I agree. We'd better get rid of him while we can."

Azalea: "...I knew it'd be difficult to persuade you, but I didn't expect you to be so close-minded. All right, then we'll have to go our separate ways."

Roy: "...Huh? Does this mean we'll have to protect Luke now? For real? But why? What, kiddo? Do you have something to say? Glare daggers at me all you want--you can't scare me."

Erica: "Ah, mister. You should've listened to me when I talked to you, instead of being so preoccupied with your research. Now, just shut up."
Objectives Go to your faction leader and see what they have to say.

Investigating the Factory

Level 87
Quest Giver Dana Donatel
Dungeon Sanctuary of Birth
Briefing
Objectives Explore the Sanctuary of Birth with Mue.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Mue: "Wow, I can't believe I'm actually inside the Castle of the Dead. I've only read about it, and this is incredible! Huh? Oh, you want me to lower my voice. Sorry! I get loud when I'm nervous... I get scolded every time, but I can't stop myself. I'll try to keep quiet. Please show me the way."

Upon entering the boss room:

Mue: "I think this is the control room. Let's take a look around."
Upon Completion Mue: "Hm... I don't think this factory stands alone. I think it's connected to the other facilities in the back."

Sanctuary of Destruction

Level 87
Quest Giver Mue
Dungeon Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing Mue: "There's a place called the Sanctuary of Destruction beyond here. Since this place is called the Sanctuary of Birth, I think I know what the other place is for. Even so, I want confirmation. Let's go!"
Objectives Explore the Sanctuary of Destruction.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Mue: "This place looks different from the one we saw."

Upon defeating the boss:

Mue: "I think junk is melted and returned to raw materials here. I thought all the Apostles would be as wacky as Anton, but maybe this one is different... Oh, I was just thinking out loud. Please don't tell that to my captain. He's been too serious, too intense lately... I don't blame him, though. Fighting one Apostle after another does that to you."
Upon Completion Hiram: "Welcome back. How did it go?"

A Path to the Next Section

Level 87
Quest Giver Hiram Klauf
Dungeon Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing Hiram: "Hm, a factory and a recycling plant... Haven't you found anything else? Like hidden bombs?"

Mue: "No. We'll need more men to search the castle more thoroughly. Most of the equipment I brought with me became unresponsive inside the castle."

Hiram: "I see. But is that all? There has to be more than a factory. What's in the back?"

Mue: "I was just done telling you, we need more men to search it more thoroughly. That place gives me the heebie-jeebies. I can't focus on analyzing any signals!"

Hiram: "...Sigh, Hulk, go with [her]."

Mue: "I'll take Cohen!"

Cohen: "What?!"

Hiram: "I need Cohen for something else. Take Hulk, or take that Imperial Knight over there."

Cyrus: "...?"

Mue: "...Major Hulk, please come with us. Adventurer, you're coming, right?"
Objectives Go to the Sanctuary of Destruction and look for a path leading to another place.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Mue: "Adventurer, you're so kind. On the other hand, Hulk here?"

Hulk: "Do you think I wanted to come here with you? I would never go anywhere with you unless I had to. It's like a minefield wherever you go."

Mue: "What? What about you? You--"

Hulk: "No, we're not going there again. Stop talking. Ah, Adventurer, remember me? We've met a few times in Noblesky. Hah hah, I've always wanted to talk to you, but I didn't have a chance. Nice to meet you."

Upon defeating the boss:
Hulk: "What's this? Should I break it?"

Mue: "No! You don't break things that you don't know anything about! Geez, you're so stupid. Err? There's a door here. They must have been guarding this door."
Upon Completion Mue: "Something's written on it. Let me check... Mm... It's difficult to translate... How can I say this? The Sanctum... The Sanctum of Dispersion? That doesn't sound good for some reason."

Sudden Infighting

Level 87
Quest Giver Hulk
Dungeon Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing Hulk: "Stop being so coy because you're in front of the Adventurer. Adventurer, she can kill [cockroaches] barefoot and drinks juice as if nothing happened--"
Mue: "Argh! I was half-awake! I thought I stepped on some chips! Did you really have to remind me about that? Hmpf! Anyway, we're going deeper, aren't we, Adventurer?"
Objectives Explore the Sanctuary of Dispersion.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Mue: "What kind of place is this? It looks different from everything else. M-maybe Luke is here. Wouldn't it be better for us to leave? Adventurer?"

Hulk: "Stop being a coward. We're here to investigate."

Mue: "Let's just leave. Please? I have a bad feeling about this place."

<Player>: "..."

Hulk: "Argh, you're embarassing me in front of the Adventurer! Stop whining. You know I hate being bothered when I'm doing something."

Upon clearing room A2:
Mue: "I think we've seen enough. We should go back--"

Hulk: "Our orders are to investigate all the way to the back. Stop acting like a fool, or I'll shoot you."

Upon entering the boss room:
Hulk: "This is a dead end! Mue, do your job! How could you let us get lost in the middle of enemy territory?"

Mue: "I've never been here before, and my equipment doesn't work properly in here... W-we can't do this. Let's go back."

Hulk: "Sigh, you leave me little choice. You're getting in my way, and now I have to kill you."

<Player>: "...!?"

Hulk: "Interfere with me, and I'll kill you too!"

Upon defeating the boss:
Hulk: "Ugh..."

Mue: "That was close. I can't believe he attacked us all of a sudden. That was cowardly of him. What do we do? He's too dangerous to be left alone. Maybe we should tie him to something solid. You want to get him out of here. But he's too dangerous to let live... All right, Adventurer, I'll do as you say."
Upon Completion Hiram: "Mm? What happened to you? Did you fight one another? ...What? You did?"

A Voice Coming from Afar

Level 87
Quest Giver Hiram Klauf
Dungeon Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing Hiram: "Did you get some rest? The first analysis of the energy is complete. Doctor Meryl of the Seven Shards conducted it. In summary, the energy does have an effect on the mind, but its extent varies depending on the individual. I don't know why it affects people differently, but that's not important right now. We have to find out why it doesn't affect you, or at least how the Black Nightmare has entered the castle. Help us, will you?"
Objectives Reach the back of the Sanctuary of Dispersion.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Luke: "...time ago, I started having nightmares..."

<Player>: "This voice...!"
Upon Completion Luke: "I see my own death every time I dream. I tried to avoid dying, but it wasn't easy since I'm a decrepit old man in my dreams. In them, my strong imposing body shrivels up as my breath gets shallow, and then I stop breathing altogether. I have a feeling that I'm being murdered by someone, but I have no idea who. None of my guardians are with me. They were probably killed... I'm just mumbling as I'm dying, but I can't hear what I'm saying. Just when I feel like I'm close to figuring it out, I wake up."

Trying to Stop Luke

Level 87
Quest Giver Luke
Dungeon Sanctuary of Birth
Briefing Luke: "I'm afraid... I'm Luke, the king of [Heblon] and the monarch of light and darkness--I can't die such a pathetic death! This can't be fate! I won't die. I'll change fate if I must. I'll prove that premonition is wrong. I'll find light. I'll own darkness. I'll submerge everything in darkness and burn it with light. I'll get my old self back..."

Hilder: (...Finally...)

<Player>: "...?!"

Hilder: (Finally, Luke's schemes are revealed!)

I'll Have to Follow for Now

Level 87
Quest Giver Hiram Klauf
Briefing Hiram: "You're back. How did it go? You've met an Apostle. You mean, an Apostle besides Luke? ...Hm... I see."

Cohen: "Captain, this is a big deal, isn't it?

Hiram: "It is. Adventurer, what did she say? She wants you to go to Pandemonium and break the seal Luke has cast...""

Dana Donatel: "Adventurer. I'm glad you came back safely."

Azalea: "Adventurer, Luke--"

Isabella: "Say, do you think you can destroy him?"

Hiram: "Oh no, it's getting crowded in here. Let's go to Sir Jurgen. He's here on behalf of the Princess. We can talk there."
Objectives Relay what Hilder said to Jurgen.
Upon Completion Nevillo Jurgen: "So there are clues in Pandemonium. Yet another Apostle has appeared, and that bothers me greatly. But at this moment, our priority is Luke. We can talk about her later. I'm not sure if we can trust that Apostle called Hilder, though. Adventurer, you said she stirred up Underworld. She can stir up Empyrean if she has a mind."

Hunter Von: "*Whine* It upsets me that Hilder is being condemned because of the others."

Erica: "Hilder is not bad. I don't agree with everything she does, but she doesn't do things without reason."

Nevillo Jurgen: "Even madmen don't do things without reason. Her and us are on different sides. We have to worry about possible ramifications from our collaboration with her."

Meryl: "I agree. But everyone from Pandemonium speaks so highly of this Apostle Hilder. She has to be different from Anton. If she wants to help this adventurer, then we shouldn't stop her. We need help from anywhere we can get it. The threat that is Luke is growing bigger by the day."

Azalea: "Everyone, Hilder is not trustworthy. She's brought nothing but grief to Arad. She's up to no good."

Hiram: "She might, but we have no other choice at this moment."

Azalea: "..."

Dana Donatel: "This means we're going to Pandemonium, to meet this summoner named Kate and find a way to break Luke's seal."

Nevillo Jurgen: "I agree. Let's get ready."

Azalea: "...Adventurer, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Wary Azalea

Level 87
Quest Giver Azalea Lott
Briefing Azalea: "We can't believe everything Hilder says. You haven't forgotten what she did to Arad by using Iris, have you?"

Erica: "..."

Azalea: "But I don't think she's trying to play you. She has her own reasons to get rid of the other Apostles. She has to know how to break his seal. Adventurer, go to Pandemonium like Hilder wants. We can't let Luke spread the Black Nightmare to the entire world. And I want to follow you to Pandemonium."

Erica: "Err, then I'm coming too!"

Roy: "...I'm not. I don't want to breathe in air that might be contaminated."

Erica: "Err... I'm angry."

Azalea: "Erica. Roy. I want you to stay here. I need you to guide them when they come."

Erica: "Them, who? Ah... Well, then I guess I'm staying. I can't leave Roy alone."

Roy: "Yes, you should take care of them. Hah hah hah."

Isabella: "Are you guys done talking? Then Adventurer, please come this way."
Objectives Meet Princess Isabella.
Upon Completion Isabella: "Let me cut to the chase. I'm coming to Pandemonium."

To Pandemonium

Level 87
Quest Giver Isabella
Dungeon Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing Isabella: "I like Empyrean, but Pandemonium sounds like a more interesting place. I'm coming, no matter what you say."

Vaughn Walshuted: "...You understand now, don't you?"

Hartz: "Yes..."

<Player>: (All the Iron Wolves look tired all of a sudden.)

Nevillo Jurgen: "Sigh..."

<Player>: (In fact, everyone else in here looks tired all of a sudden.)

Isabella: "Not all of us can go. Not when Luke is still in the Castle of the Dead, scheming. Sir Walshuted, you're experienced in dealing with the Apostles. You have to stay. Also, Father has ordered the Iron Wolves to stay in Empyrean. To get his approval, you'll have to send a messenger, but that'll take time, which we don't have."

Cyrus: "...Krueger, if--"

Hartz: "Call me if you need me. My orders from His Majesty are to wait, but he'll understand if I need to help you."

Cyrus: "Drat, I can't believe you're the only one i can trust in a situation like this."

Hartz: "Ditto."

Isabella: "Mm, none of you look too happy about this arrangement. Anyway, Adventurer, I have a special favor to ask of you. Please inspect the path to Pandemonium before we leave. I don't want to be accosted on the road."

Nevillo Jurgen: "Adventurer, you came back from a place where even the Coast Guard got lost. Please help us. If something happens to the Princess, it'll severely affect the relationship between the two states."
Objectives Find a path to Pandemonium in the Castle of the Dead.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering the boss:

Becky: "Err? Adventurer! It's the Adventurer!"

<Player>: "What are you doing?"

Becky: "Well-met! Let's fight! Charrrrge!"

Upon defeating the boss:

Becky: "Ugh... You're hurting me! Stop moving! You're not giving me a chance to fight back!"
Upon Completion Becky: "You're lucky that I'm feeling generous today. Here I am, happy to finally find a place that doesn't make my head zing, and then I met you. Bah! I hope Luke will kill you soon!" *Sticks tongue out*

<Player>: "...Have you been following me?"

Becky: "No, I have not!"

<Player>: "Well, then did you come to see Luke? Do you know where he is?"

Becky: "Of course, I do! Luke is kind to me. Heh heh! He likes me because I'm smart and strong!"

<Player>: "Really? Then can you show me where he is?"

Becky: "Um... I lied. I can't go to him. He's locked himself in some place. Snader said I shouldn't see him. Luke is acting strangely, and he wouldn't talk to me anymore. Does this mean he hates me?"

Abandoned Becky

Level 87
Quest Giver Becky
Dungeon Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing Becky: "Anyway, that's why I can't go to Luke. You're here to interfere with him, aren't you? I'm not taking you to him! What? Luke is evil? No, he's not--he's brought light back to Pandemonium! All of us are grateful for him! ...Although I don't like that he put people to sleep. Is that why you want to fight Luke? Huh? You want to go to Pandemonium. Well, I don't know what's going on with you, but if you go to Pandemonium, then at least you can't interfere with Luke. Follow me. You can get to Pandemonium from there."
Objectives Defeat everyone who gets in your way of reaching Pandemonium.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the boss room:

Becky: "Snader. Hello."

Purging Snader: "Homunculus, what do you think you're doing?"

Becky: "This adventurer wants to go to Pandemonium. I was giving him the directions."

Purging Snader: "You fool, you're helping an enemy! I tried to keep you for the dimensional navigation system, but you're too helpless."

Becky: "Huh? These look just like me."

Purging Snader: "Yup. We don't need you anymore."

Upon defeating the boss:

Purging Snader: "Luke's power can't reach this far. But once he fully recovers his power..."
Upon Completion Becky: "Did you see them? There are so many of me. Do you think they were made by Luke as well? I thought I was special, but I'm not. I've been abandoned, just like Golc. Luke left Golc broken. He wouldn't fix me either, if I break. What are you staring at? Pandemonium is over there. Go. You want me to come with you? No. Why should I? ...It wasn't Luke who said that. I'm going to stay here. I'm not going to listen to that stupid Snader."

Hurry Back to Luke

Level 86
Quest Giver Nevillo Jurgen
Prerequisite Epic Quest Icon.png To Zelva with a Heart Full of Hope
Dungeon Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing Nevillo Jurgen: "You're back. Did you find a way to break Luke's seal?"

Isabella: "I did. How's Luke?"

Hartz: "He's still silent, but the energy of the Black Nightmare has gotten stronger. It's even reached this far. We were able to block it, though temporarily."

Nevillo Jurgen: "Everyone has been waiting for your return. Both Empyrean and Arad are on the brink of extinction. Please hurry."

Hiram: "I know you just got here, but we can't waste any more time. Stop Luke before it's too late."
Objectives Enter the Sanctuary of Dispersion and break Luke's seal.
Upon Completion Kasijas: "How ironic. The seal that he created to protect himself is being broken by his own power."

Quest Giver Kasijas
Briefing Kasijas: "While you were away to meet Kate, Luke's soldiers have to have regrouped. Don't you think, Hilder?"

Hilder: "I do. This adventurer thinks he's ready, but he can't take on Luke by himself. The devices in this place are fueling him."

Kasijas: "Well, then let's destroy them all."

Hilder: "Things would be easier if you could just step in, Kasijas, but this is as much as we can do for these humans."

Kasijas: "Damn, I hate rules."

Hilder: "Adventurer, the bead Kate gave you still has some of Luke's light left in it, enough to protect you and your friends against the influence of the Black Nightmare. You can't do this alone. Go ask your friends for help."
Objectives Go to your faction leader and relay Hilder's message.

Objectives Explore the Altar of Light with Hiram.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Hiram: "Since the Imperial Army went left, we should go right. I really hope we'll see them again."

Mue: "I'm worried the same thing that happened before might happen again. Are you sure this device will stay turned on while we're here?"

Hiram: "I hope so. Err? What's this? This energy meter is broken. The level of energy in this place must have been off the charts if it broke the meter like this. How much energy has Luke collected?"

Upon entering the boss room:
Aslan: "You. How dare you come in here and try to interfere with Luke? You're unforgivable!"

Hiram: "Ugh... Who's that? Is he even alive? He almost looks like a robot. What? You want to talk things out with him? Well, sure, knock yourself out. If we don't have to fight, I'm all for it."

Aslan: "Niu? You mean, that little girl? She means nothing to me. My soul belongs to Luke now; anyone who tries to stop him is my enemy, even if they were once my friends."


Aslan: "That's right. If you want to stop me, then kill me or submit to Luke!"

Upon defeating the boss:
Oblivious Aslan: "Luke... Luke! This batch of light energy has been completely processed. Please take this energy..."

Hiram: "The energy is being sucked into that place. Is it being sent to Luke?"

Oblivious Aslan: "Urgh... Luke will grow stronger..."
Upon Completion Hiram: "This guy was a gatekeeper. Everything he did--trying to kill Kate who knew how to break Luke's seal, and waiting here for us? He did it to buy time. But good thing he opened the gate to the inside of the castle, to send energy to Luke. We don't have to waste more time on trying to open it."

Hulk: "What do we do now?"

Hiram: "We go in. We'll only die if worse comes to worst."

Cohen: "But I don't want to die..."

Hiram: "Stop whining, and let's go."

Altar of Darkness

Level 86
Quest Giver Hiram
Dungeon Altar of Darkness
Briefing Hiram: "What's this place? It has a completely different atmosphere from the other place. If the other place was light, this is darkness. The contrast is stark."

Mue: "It's amazing that there's both light and darkness in one person."

Hiram: "Usually light represents good, and darkness evil. Luke has both. He's the hero of Pandemonium, but he's a villain to us. These altars show those extreme sides to him."

Cohen: "That's because we're expecting different things from him, isn't it?"

Hiram: "It is. He's good or evil, depending on which side you're on. But I don't care. I don't like him, and I want to get rid of him. He's toyed with Empyrean long enough. It's going to be a tough fight in here, but that means we're getting closer to Luke. Come on, let's do this."
Objectives Explore the Altar of Darkness with Hiram.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering room B2:

Hiram: "Um... Which way should we go?"

Mue: "Do you want to split?"

Hiram: "I think we should. I don't feel comfortable dividing ourselves, but I'm counting on the Imperial Army to back us up. Hulk, take good care of the other guys. Don't cause trouble. I didn't forget what you did last time."

Hulk: "Yes, sir. By the way, where's the Imperial Army? I haven't seen them since we came in."

Hiram: "Who knows? Look for them if you want. With the radio down, there's nothing I can do."

Cohen: "...You're so unreliable..."

Upon entering room E2:
Vaughn Walshuted: "Hey, Adventurer! Funny running into you here. Are you alright?"

Hiram: "Imperial Knight Master. What are you doing here alone?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "Ah, things were getting too dangerous, so I left my men behind. They'll keep the retreat route opened for us. I knew I was going to run into this adventurer sooner or later. By the way, I'm sensing sinister energy in front of us. I kind of don't want to get near it... Gosh, I should've stayed with Emily for a little longer."

<Player>: "..."

Hiram: "What's wrong? Let's go."

Upon entering the boss room:
Evil Sword Veara: "Halt! What kind of business do you have with Luke?"

Hiram: "Do you have to ask? Your master is bent on destroying Empyrean and Arad."

Evil Sword Veara: "Luke told me to let you in, but he still needs time. I'm going to stop you."

Vaughn Walshuted "Instead of killing us?"

Evil Sword Veara: "We'll fight to the death, of course. But Adventurer, you're backed by two Apostles and defeated Anton. I'm not confident if I can kill you. But I"m excited for this chance to fight one of the most formidable warriors in this world, and it is all thanks to Luke. Also, thank you for coming this far without getting killed."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I like you. We could've been friends in another life. I'd love to fight you one on one, but we're in a hurry. Adventurer, let's go. Luke is getting stronger, even as we speak."

Upon defeating the boss:

Evil Sword Veara: "*Chuckle* I sold my soul to the devil in exchange for power, and yet I'm far from being strong enough. I should've known I could never become the owner of this castle... My time is over. And Luke is ready. Ahead of you waits the king of Heblon whom I couldn't defeat..."
Upon Completion Vaughn Walshuted: "The gate to the inside has opened. Maybe Luke is really not going to stop us... By the way, who's that? Adventurer, do you know her? She's been following [us] for a while."

Becky: "...Err? Um, how did you know I was following you? Hey, do you have eyes on the back of your head?"

Hiram: "It's a child. Is that the homunculus Doctor Meryl mentioned? Hm, she's interesting."

Becky: "You knocked down Veara. Are you... Are you really going to fight Grandpa Lu--I mean, Luke? You'll die, you know. I'm serious--you'll die."

Vaughn Walshuted: "We'll die even if we don't fight. Why are you here. Are you here to stop us? Do you want to fight?"

Becky: "You fool, when did I say that? I'm not going to fight you. I'm not crazy!"

Vaughn Walshuted: "...Aww... Emily, I'm hurt..."

Hiram: "...Can we be a little more serious?"

Briefing Vaughn Walshuted: "If you're not here to talk and distract me, then leave. If you're here to see Luke, then go ahead."

Hiram: "I say we get rid of [her]."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I agree, but I'm a knight; I can't kill children, even if they're not really children."

Becky: "Even if you want to go to Luke, you can't go right now, you fool! Get in now, and you'll die. How can you not know that?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "What are you talking about? I do hate the energy I'm sensing from the inside, but..."

Kasijas: "That kiddo's right."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Wah! Geez! Um? Uh..."

Hilder: "Don't be alarmed. We're not enemies. I'm Hilder, and this is Kasijas. We were able to enter the castle because you've opened the gate that Luke closed shut. The place in front of you is filled with Luke's Black Nightmare. That small light you have with you is not strong enough to protect you against it. Go in now, and you'll lose your minds to the Black Nightmare."

Hiram: "No, we've come too far to fail our operation."

Kasijas: "Each one of you needs a strong shield, like the blessing Hilder has cast on the adventurer, and she can't cast it for anyone else."

Hiram: "Does that mean the adventurer has to confront Luke by himself? That's too dangerous."

Hilder: "It was also dangerous for us to come here to kill the Apostle. Don't worry. I'll follow him. I may not be able to fight Luke, but I can feel him out."


Hiram: "Hmpf! I'm sorry, Adventurer, I can't help you. Good luck."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Bah, do I have to stay here and babysit this kid? Gosh, if His Majesty knows--"

Becky: "Who's babysitting who? Stop talking nonsense!"

Vaughn Walshuted: "..."

Hilder: "Homunculus, you were born in Pandemonium and have lived here for a long time after Luke modified you. When this is over, you can finally be your own master. We'll help you."

Becky: "...Shut up. If only I were a thousand years older, I would've been stronger than Luke and could've beat you up easily!"

Kasijas: "Spunky, aren't you? Now, Adventurer, go. I can tell Luke is waiting for you."
Objectives Find Luke in Solium Machina.
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Luke: "You came here to see me, with an Apostle in tow. You wouldn't have dared barge in my castle and cause mayhem if it weren't for him, would [you]?"

Kasijas: "Hm, is this how you sound, Luke? I was worried you might be mute. Luke, enough with this farce. You've fattened yourself enough with the Black Nightmare. It's time you stop."

Upon entering the boss room:
Kasijas: "Don't you think you're too old to play dolls? But you don't have more soldiers to sic on us, do you?"

Luke: "Everything... is ready."

Upon defeating the boss:
Luke: "To what do I owe this pleasure? Are you tired of following battles? Or do you need a place to stay?"

Kasijas: "Hmpf, don't be full of yourself, old coot. How long have you been doing this? You must have been busy orchestrating it without drawing attention."

Upon Completion Kasijas: "I don't know what you want to say. Doing that wouldn't keep you alive--it'll only attract more enemies. Why would you volunteer for trouble? Stop now, or you'll have one more enemy to deal with."

Luke: "Kasijas. Why are you here? Don't you have battles to follow?"

Kasijas: "I've ignored the other Apostles because whatever they did didn't bother me. Sirocco helped distinguish good warriors from the posers, and the others have led me to this adventurer. I welcome a ruckus every now and then. It saves me time to look for interesting fights. But you've crossed the line. You want to destroy Arad--that's my playground! I have nowhere else to go play!"

Luke: "Is that why you've been interfering with me, even when you didn't know what Hilder was up to?"

Kasijas: "Of course. Keeping my sword in active use and free of rust is my top priority. Now, Luke. Let me ask you again: are you really going to sacrifice Arad for your selfish needs?"

Apostle Luke

Level 86
Quest Giver Luke
Dungeon Solium Machina
Briefing Luke: "Funny. Grit your teeth all you want. That's the only thing you can do. We Apostles can't kill each other. Hilder, that's why you've guided that adventurer to me. Yes, I kept dreaming about someone killing me, and I was afraid because after I left Heblon, I was so weak that I couldn't even remember who I was. But I already overcame the prophecy. All this time, you thought you were controlling me, but everything has transpired just as I intended. The only thing left for me to do now is to bring this changed future into the present."


Luke: "I will continue to take care of Pandemonium. I'll make it the most prosperous, happiest place to be. A new age is coming. New Apostles will assist me. I, the king of Heblon, won't die. I'll never die.

Objectives If the player is a member of the Joint Investigation Group or Adventurer's Guild:

Returning Princess

Level 86
Quest Giver Isabella
Briefing Isabella: "It just doesn't make sense. Why would Father want me back at such a critical time? Someone who doesn't like me has to be behind this."

Vaughn Walshuted: "I understand you're angry, but this order is directly from your father. Your Highness, please calm yourself and get ready to leave. There's nothing to be upset about."

Isabella: "There's nothing to be upset about? Sir Walshuted! I came all the way here and got rid of the biggest obstacle, so I could explore Pandemonium and achieve what I've planned--"

Vaughn Walshuted: "You came here as an ambassador to promote friendly relations between the Empire and Empyrean. Investigating Luke and coming to Pandemonium shouldn't have been party of your duty, but your father was impressed by your determination and he trusts you enough to let you handle such an important tasks. And you handled it excellently. That's the truth. However, you're a princess of the great Empire. You shouldn't be so far away from your country. Your people are concerned about your safety, and your father knows that. You're not here to study abroad. Your presence here can invite misunderstandings, which could lead to international conflicts. Please, you have to understand that."

Isabella: "But..."

Cyrus: "Your Highness, no one can dispute your meritorious deed. Please, it's time to go."

Isabella: "But... I mean... This makes me feel like I'm running away like a coward, but we beat him..."
Objectives Talk to Imperial Princess Isabella.
Upon Completion Isabella: "...Ah, I'm sorry that you had to see that. I was upset, but now I feel ashamed. It's all right. My father wants me back, so I have to go. Well... I really wanted to continue to explore this world with you. Ah, the time I spent here was like a dream. Things were tough and oftentimes I was too impatient to enjoy the moment, but come to think of it now, this journey must have been my first adventure. It has to be. I was afraid, and yet excited to be in a new place. Perhaps that's why you chose to become an adventurer. I feel like I can understand you better now. I hope I can go on another adventure, and it'll be wonderful if you could come with me. *Chuckle* I'm sorry, I'm getting sentimental. I'd better go pack. See you around."

Jurgen's Assurance

Level 86
Quest Giver Nevillo Jurgen
Briefing Nevillo Jurgen: "The Princess must be really disappointed to leave. So am I, to let her go. It was she who made the joint investigation possible, and as a result, we defeated an enemy of Empyrean. Of course, I didn't forget you, Adventurer. You will be named a hero in our history books and remembered by many generations to come."


Hiram: "Adventurer, you were here, good. There's something I want you and Sir Jurgen to hear."
Objectives Go to Jurgen and listen to the story.
Upon Completion Nevillo Jurgen: "You must want to talk about the Apostles."

Hiram: "Hilder and Kasijas are nowhere to be seen since Luke's death. I was hoping maybe, Adventurer, you know where they are. You don't know? They didn't tell you. This doesn't bode well. I didn't expect we'd celebrate our victory with them, but I don't like that they just disappeared on us. And why hasn't that castle disappeared already? I thought it'd collapse in on itself when its owner dies. Does this mean Pandemonium and Empyrean will stay connected?"

Nevillo Jurgen: "If so, other dangerous forces in Pandemonium will have easy access to Empyrean. Hmpf, this is not good."

Hiram: "I don't know if you know this, but Her Highness didn't trust what we reported to her, so she sent someone to investigate on her own. Hmpf, I fought for her, and that's hardly a reward."

Nevillo Jurgen: "Her Highness is still inexperienced and has yet to meet all the expectations as a ruler. That's why I'm still the regent. Don't worry. I'll restore Empyrean to order. ...And to do that, I need help. Don't worry about Her Highness or Eagle Eye. Just carry on with our plan. Those who refuse to move with the flow cannot be saved."

Hiram: "Yes, sir."

Nevillo Jurgen: "Adventurer, don't worry. You risked your life for the peace of Empyrean, and I'll make sure it'll stay peaceful. I give you my word."

Level 86
Quest Giver Erica
Dungeon Solium Machina
Briefing Erica: "Um, Adventurer, have you seen Azalea? There was a commotion at the princess's side, so I went to check, and when I came back, she was gone. Did she go out for a walk? I know she has a lot on her mind and I shouldn't disturb her, but I'm worried. I'm sorry, but could you help me find her?"

Hiram: "Ah, Adventurer. Someone sneaked into the Castle of the Dead. Could you go bring him back out? We're spread too thin, having to clean things up here and report everything. Thanks."

Erica: "Oh, what if it's Azalea? But she had no business in the Castle of the Dead. Do you think she went in there to check Luke's documents?"
Objectives Search for Azalea in the Castle of the Dead. (Complete this quest, and the Azalea NPC will disappear.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon entering the dungeon:

Grim Seeker Super-strong Monk: "Stop interfering with us. The end of the world is closer now, and it's your fault!"

Goodbye Azalea

Level 86
Quest Giver Roy
Briefing Roy: "Why should I care where Azalea is? Why should I find her? Relying on the sixth sense is an insult to science--err? Adventurer. That's... ... ...Azalea?"

Erica: "Ah, Adventurer, welcome--err? Wah! Azalea? Azalea!"

Roy: "Out of the way. Step aside! Adventurer, what are you doing here? Bring her over here now!"
Objectives Talk to Roy.
Upon Completion Roy: "I-I can't feel a pulse! Her blood... What the hell? It's coagulating! No, no, it's not too late. We just need to shock her heart back into motion--Wait. Hey, don't touch her! I'm trying to save her here! Argh, you stupid broad, I'm talking to you!"

Erica: "*Sob*"

Roy: "..."

Erica: "*Sob* How did this happen? Adventurer, haven't you heard anything? Huh? Th-the Grim Seekers? No... Did they hold her responsible for Luke's death? Is that why...?"

Roy: "Stop saying the obvious, and get some towels to wipe the blood off her face! I'm not letting her die, looking like this! The Soryuns must have done this. Damn, damn! She had to die when I wasn't there to protect her..."

Erica: "Roy..."

Roy: "..."

Erica: "...Adventurer, thank you for being there to listen to her last words. And thank you for bringing her back to us... *Sob*"

Scattering People

Level 86
Quest Giver Dana Donatel
Briefing Dana Donatel: "Adventurer, you came back safely, so I thought the only thing left to do was celebrate... Why did this happen? She was such a kind person. I can't believe she was murdered by her own group. The Grim Seekers... Why did they have to resort to this?"


Hartz: "Hey, Adventurer. Is it true that the leader of the Grim Seekers is dead? She was a tough cookie. How did she die? ...Infighting? I'd better report this to my boss."
Objectives Follow Hartz and listen to his conversation with Vaughn.
Upon Completion Hartz: "Boss, the leader of the Grim Seekers was murdered during some infighting."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Huh? What? This is not good. Azalea is dead, and the Grim Seekers are desperate. I didn't think our relationship with them would last long, but... Bah, I don't know. I'm sure His Majesty will take care of them."

Hartz: "What do you know?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "What do I know? I know the Iron Wolves will stay in Zelva."

Hartz: "What?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "And I'm off on my own. Hah hah! Take good care of the guys, Deputy Master!"

Hartz: "Where are you going, leaving your men in enemy territory?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "We're not in enemy territory--we're in an ally's. You'd better hope no Empyrean heard you."

Hartz: "Damn it. If you're going to keep ditching us, then give up your Knight Master stamp at least!"

Vaughn Walshuted: "Really? Sure, I've been worried I might lose it, anyway. Here, take it."

Hartz: "Hey, I wasn't serious! *Sigh...* You're the leader. Where the hell are you going without your men to back you up?

Vaughn Walshuted: "To see Emily, of course. Emily wants a souvenir from Empyrean. Hey, what do you think I should get for her? Huh?"

<Player>: "...Lies."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Huh? What do you mean, lies? I'm a good husband, but I'm not a good shopper. I hate wasting time on thinking about what to get for my wife. ...What? How do you know Emily passed away? Huh. Only Her Highness knows that. I don't think you went to my house. Did she tell you?"

Hartz: "Emily has passed away? When?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "...Forget it. That's not important."

Hartz: "You've been talking about your wife nonstop. How do you think your men will think of you when they realize you've been lying to them about your wife all along?"

Vaughn Walshuted: "Then should I tell them about my private life? I didn't want them to look at me differently, so I lied. If anyone has a problem with that, then they can leave. I wouldn't want them on my team."

Hartz: "Vaughn Walshuted, if we were in our country, I wouldn't care about what you say. But we're in a backwater region in another nation. You shouldn't say things that could be easily misunderstood by your men."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Damn it. Between us two, you've always been the one who gets upset and screams. Why are you being so calm today? Act like your normal self, so I'd know what to say back to you. I--Ah, let's not talk about her anymore. I wasn't there to bury her myself. Please stop."

<Player>: "..."

Vaughn Walshuted: "Anyway, don't worry. I'm not going off on personal business, Deputy Master Krueger. Just wait for me here."

Hartz: "Alright, as you command."

Objectives Meet and talk to Empyrean Princess Erje.
Upon Completion Imperial Princess Erje: "Welcome. I've heard you accomplished your mission. I wasn't surprised. I knew you'd do it, so... Good job. Thank you. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm sure you have many things to tell me. Everyone, I'd like to talk to the hero of Empyrean in private. Leave us."

Nines: "Yes, Your Highness."

Imperial Princess Erje: "...Finally, we're alone. I didn't want to see you just to say thank-you. I'm telling you this because I trust you, but I--no, all of Ghent--am not in the know about everything that has to do with the Castle of the Dead. Sir Jurgen, the leader of the Joint Investigation Group, has been keeping information from me. Doctor Meryl has caught on and shared with me as much as she knew, most of which came from her acquaintance with the Great General, but that has been intercepted too. More precisely, the recent data that she's sent to me is corrupted, and only the important information is destroyed. I suspect foul play, but whoever did it could claim that it was because of Luke's interference. That's why I've been sending people to pick up the reports for me. Doctor Meryl went out on a limb to provide me with really important information, but she's still not one of the people in the center of this operation. There's only so much she can find out. Adventurer, I want you to tell me everything you've experienced."

Reporting to Kate

Level 86
Quest Giver Imperial Princess Erje
Briefing Imperial Princess Erje: "I see. Listening to you, I can finally put the pieces of the puzzle together. That's how all of it went down. Thank you. The Coast Guard... I didn't order it to investigate the Castle of the Dead. How dare they lie? How dare they disrespect me in front of everyone? But... There's nothing I can do about it. They may have disrespected me, but they helped protect Empyrean. I can't punish its members for doing the right thing for their country. Sir Jurgen still hasn't relieved himself from the regent position yet. His excuse is that I'm still a 'princess' and not ready to rule. What he's doing now is different from what he promised when I accepted the crown. ...No, I shouldn't think this way. I let myself be abducted in a time of crisis and left him to deal with the aftermath. He must have his reasons to do what he does. I should focus on making Empyrean prosperous again. I'm sorry. I've been cooped up in the palace for so long that I'm becoming paranoid for no reason. I should go get some fresh air and clear my head. By the way, I've heard a mage named Kate from Pandemonium has been instrumental in the success of this mission. Could you thank her for me? I'm sorry to send you on a long journey when you just got back, but I sincerely want to show her my gratitude."
Objectives Go to Central Park and talk to Kate.
Upon Completion Kate: "Welcome. Thank you for coming all the way here. Did you come to report to me? ...Oh, the Princess of Empyrean has sent you. Ho ho, I'm honored. She must be busy dealing with the mess Anton and Luke created, and yet she's kind enough to think of me. I haven't been myself since I heard the news. Apostle Luke was as important to us as Apostle Hilder. Even though I knew what he did was wrong, I still couldn't help but feel as if I betrayed him. But hearing from the Princess makes me feel better. No one should die an unjust death, even if they are complete strangers to me and have nothing to do with Pandemonium. Right?"

Quest Giver Kate
Dungeon Red Witch's Forest
Briefing Kate: "What are you going to do now? The Black Nightmare that threatened Arad disappeared along with Luke. Now that the root of evil that you've pursued is gone, you have nothing else to do. ...I understand. I don't know if I can think of you the same as I do other adventurers, but if going back to what you used to be--a carefree adventurer--is what you want, then so be it. I assume you'll meet new people and visit new places, practicing your fighting skills and quenching your thirst for knowledge, huh? Maybe this is a new beginning for you as an adventurer. *Chuckle* You're so enthusiastic, aren't you? I like it. Central Park welcomes you. Feel free to stay here when you come to Pandemonium. Niu? She knows that already. She knew he couldn't be saved, but she refused to believe it. She was depressed, but she's getting better, slowly. This is one of the things she has to endure. Fortunately, she's strong and her sisters are there for her. She'll get over this soon. Don't worry. ...Oh, right. Kasijas said he'd be in the forest. Maybe he knew you were coming. Why don't you go see him?"

You don't think you're the only one who has drawn her attention, do you? You're more impressive than anyone else, but the moment she thinks you've become useless, she'll abandon you without hesitation, like she did Luke. I don't know what Hilder is up to, and I don't care. But I'm not you. If you want to live, if you don't want to be abandoned like garbage, then find out what she's up to. Find out what she knows, what she wants, everything. It's the only way you can survive. Survive whatever fate throws at you. Become stronger. I want it to be you whom I have to fight before I fight Cain.
