Following Iris's advice, you tracked down and defeated the Apostles in the Interdimensional Rift. Instead of a sense of victory, however, you feel uneasy and conflicted. Why did Michael of the Holy Eye protect Ozma? How did Bakal know you were coming? What did they know that you didn't know? So many unanswered questions ripple through your head.

Will your strengths be as Hilder thinks, or not. While I hindered her plans for another 500 years, did your kind grow stronger or were unchanging.

Future content.png This article contains content that was removed.


Following Iris's advice, you tracked down and defeated the Apostles in the Interdimensional Rift. Instead of a sense of victory, however, you feel uneasy and conflicted.

[Otherverse] Void Rift

Level 70
Quest Giver Grandis Gracia
Dungeon Void Rift
Briefing Grandis: "I have a serious matter that I feel I should be honest with you about. Ever since monsters from the Otherverse began invading through the Interdimensional Rift, the Order of Priests has suspected a link between them and Ozma. You see, if the Otherverse is already unsealed, then there is a possibility that Ozma could escape into our world via the Rift. The Order of Priests has thus been sending agents into the Otherverse, to find evidence of Ozma's presence. Few of these agents returned alive... but a recent team located a major demonic stronghold. They are not strong enough to breech the base, though..."

<Player>: "...So you want me to check out this stronghold, huh?"

Grandis: "I do. I have no wish to send you into such peril, but I must ask you to lend us your strength. Now, if you are to do this, you must obtain a certain object from Iris, an energy tracer... *You show her the orb* Oh! Iris is one step ahead of everyone, as usual. All is prepared... I feel that this truly must be the will of God that we are fulfilling. Please, venture into the Void Rift, and find any trace you can of Ozma."
Objectives Enter the Interdimensional Rift and clear Void Rift. (This quest can only be completed in Single Normal mode.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Riftmaster Gaunis:
Riftmaster Gaunis: "Those of you who exist with no meaning disrupt reality itself with your presence. Allow me to assist you in departing from this plane of being."
Upon Completion Grandis: "Praise the Lord, you are safe! What have you learned?"

[Otherverse] Clash of Conviction

Level 70
Quest Giver Grandis Gracia
Dungeon Dark Side
Briefing Grandis: "You have done us a great service. Now, take this orb to Iris..."

Iris: "...so she can read the energy from it. Indeed, I thought I might save you some time by coming to you. Now, let me... *Iris holds her hand over the orb. Her eyes dart back and forth as though reading invisible signs in the air.* Yes... Ozma. He is there. The Dark Side... But there is another... another with energy like his... How can this be?"

Grandis: "Lord grant us strength... Ozma... and another with his power. Adventurer. There is no one else I could ever ask this of. Please, for the sake of our Order... for the sake of all... Face Ozma, and strike him down."
Objectives Enter Interdimensional Rift and investigate Dark Side in which Ozma has been sighted. (This quest can only be completed in Single Normal mode.)
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Michael of the Holy Eye:

Michael: "I... was really hoping you wouldn't make it this far. I am Michael... and I must ask you to leave. I cannot let you kill Ozma."

Upon confronting Michael of the Holy Eye:

Michael: "You do not understand. As long as I remain here, Ozma is trapped. He cannot reach our world. And so... I cannot let you pass. If you truly will not heed my words... then I have no choice..."

Upon encountering Ozma of Chaos:

Ozma: "Ahh, this brings back memories... You did not have to come all this way, you know. I was on my way to find all of you, I assure you. I suppose I should thank you for saving me the effort..."
Upon Completion Grandis: "How... How can this be?! Michael helped found our Order... He led the quest to vanquish Ozma! Why would he stand between you and Ozma? This must be a mistake. You must be mistaken! *Grandis takes a deep breath* I am sorry. This is... very difficult for me to accept. I beg your understanding. For now, I will inform the Order. Please, give me some time."

[Otherverse] Ozma of Chaos

Level 70
Quest Giver Grandis Gracia
Dungeon Dark Side
Briefing Grandis: "The Order of Priests have made their decision. Even if it truly is Michael of the Holy Eye... if he is defending Ozma, he is no longer one of us. You must destroy Ozma... even if it means destroying Michael as well."
Objectives Restrain Michael and defeat Ozma of Chaos in Dark Side. (This quest can only be completed in Single Normal mode.)
  • Michael of the Holy Eye: 0/1
  • Ozma of Chaos: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Michael of the Holy Eye:

Michael: "You... have been here before. I know you. And I know you won't listen to reason... Oh, Lord! Why won't you answer me! Are you trying to test me? Or are you trying to test THEM?!"

Upon defeating Michael of the Holy Eye:

Michael: "I know you believe in justice, and the righteousness of your actions. I can see it in your eyes. What you do not understand is that justice is subjective. There are other forces at work, contrary to your justice..."

Upon encountering Ozma of Chaos:

Ozma: "You have done me quite a service, killing Michael as you did. As a token of my gratitude, if you leave now, I will not kill you. Oh my, you have that defiant look in your eyes. Just remember... I gave you a chance."

Upon defeating Ozma of Chaos:

Ozma: "I wonder... was Michael right about me? Does my death hasten the end of your world...? Kazan... Ah, Kazan... This is hardly fair... You are the only one who could understand me... No... Not... Like this...!"
Upon Completion Grandis: "You did it? Ozma is truly gone? Amazing... but what of Michael? *You tell her what happened* I see. I will inform the Order of everything that has happened. The.. specifics are unimportant of course. Defeating Ozma will give this whole world a new hope for the future."

[Otherverse] Return to Iris

Level 70
Quest Giver Grandis Gracia

Upon Completion Iris: "You have vanquished Ozma. I can hardly believe such a thing has come to pass. Your victory over pure evil will pass into legend, remembered for all time."

[Otherverse] Ulterior Motives

Level 70
Quest Giver Iris Fortunesinger
Dungeon Void Rift

Upon Completion Iris: "Forgive my imposition, but you are simply the only person I know capable of what I ask."

[Otherverse] Gleaming energy

Level 70

[Otherverse] The Fate of Empyrean

Level 70
Quest Giver Iris Fortunesinger
Dungeon Castle of Bakal
Briefing Iris: "At last! With all this energy, we can trace our true foe. *She holds her hand to the orb and breaths deeply* I can feel it... so strong... it must be him. Bakal. You must face Bakal, as you have faced the other Apostles, but beware... his power is beyond anything you have faced thus far. Take the path I showed you before to Empyrean of the past. I know you can do this... I need no precognition to say that."
Objectives Enter Interdimensional Rift and defeat Bakal in Castle of Bakal. (This quest can only be completed in Single Normal mode.)
  • Bakal, the King of Dragons: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue Upon encountering Itrenok, the Green Dragon:

Itrenok: "You guys are all weaklings... Not at all what Bakal led me to expect. We prepared quite a reception for you, but if this is all there is, you won't get to see most of it."

Upon encountering Neiser, the Black Dragon:

Neiser: "Peace lies at the silent Blinding. I will lay you to rest here."

Upon encountering Numak, the Gold Dragon:

Numak: "I'll give you some credit... it's not easy to get here. You deserve that, at least."

Upon encountering Ash Core, the Flame Dragon:

Ash Core: "Uhahaha! You guys look like you got some fight in ya! This might be fun! I like people with spirit. 'Cause then I can beat it out of them! Hahaha!"

Upon encountering Bakal, the King of Dragons:

Bakal: "You... where are you from? Or, should I be asking, when are you from?"

<Player>: "We come from 500 years in the future."

Bakal: "500 years... must I really wait so long to be challenged?"

<Player>: "We're here now, Bakal. History states that you were defeated in the Empyrean Machine Revolution, so consider this a change of plans."

Bakal: "What, the Empyreans with their little toys are my undoing? Don't make me laugh! I do not believe you have even thought this through. If you really do kill me here, what happens to your world? Does your history change? Of course not! And what if it does? Suppose you undo your own existence by interfering with the mandate of history?"

<Player>: "I... we... Rrgh!"

Bakal: "I see you are beginning to understand. Hmmm... 500 years for your species to even think of challenging me... Is Hilder trying to hasten my demise? Ha! *Bakal studies each member of your party* Still... Do you truly believe you can defeat me? Is it possible? So be it... If you truly wish to tempt the fates and destroy the future, I accept your challenge. Perhaps this is our shared fate..."
Upon Completion Iris: "I can feel the time stream shifting to accommodate your actions... You have defeated Bakal. My faith in you was well-placed, it seems. However, I can see the battle has left you uncertain. Surely, you do not trust the words of the Dragon King? In part, he was right. It was your destiny to strike him down, and his destiny to be struck down then. But you have not destroyed time... you have set it right. You need not take my word for it. This comes from Keening Hilder herself. She warned me that without your intervention, Bakal would rule our world even now. She even told me of the turmoil you would feel now after your battle. Your council is your own, but I ask you, are the Apostles not the root of all chaos? What you have done can only benefit our world..."
