Briefing

Michelle: "It hasn't been long since the gate to the nightmares have appeared. The Iced Wall of Resignation holds monsters that were attacked by the Black Nightmare, and one day some smoke released from them and became what you see. I don't know what's inside. I tried, but it's too foggy. I can expect the situation in there is not in favor of us. Do you still want to get in there?"

Michelle: "As far as I know, Goblins are extinct in Arad. Some may have survived, but not as many as you said you saw. Maybe you entered a nightmare in the past. Haven't you met Aganzo and Bwanga while in there? It's been a while since they left, and I'm getting worried."

<player>: "I felt a strong presence of the Black Nightmare in there. It was almost as if I was in the Nightmare itself. I don't think it's safe to stay in there for long. Maybe they have lost track of time. I'll go in there again and look for them."

Michelle: "Th-thank you... While you're in there, could you collect a few things for me? If I tune to the wavelength of that place, then I'll be able to observe your movement more closely."

Objectives

I saw some Dark Elves in my dreams last night, and I'm thinking they might have something to do with your exploration. You've seen him. How strange! The Dark Elves lived underground before the Great Metastasis. Then why are they in the forest? Even nightmares are based on one's experience." <player>: "...Maybe I was hallucinating when I saw them, like I did because of Lotus. I'd better check."

I don't know where he went, but he's the chief of the Banuts. I'm not worried about him. right now something else is more urgent than finding him. I saw the Sky Tower when I was on Behemoth. although the Sky Tower I saw there as in ruined form, I could tell the moment I laid my eyes on the castle in that nightmare that it was the Sky Tower in its glory. But something doesn't make sense. Bwanga and I never sealed monsters that might have been in the Sky Tower. Even if some of them did, the tower crumbled to dust with everything in it."

<player>: "So you don't think there's anyone who possesses memories of the Sky Tower that could recreate the Sky Tower so flawlessly. I agree with you. The nightmares on the other side of the Dream Gate don't make sense in many ways."

Aganzo Leaves Again

Briefing	Zanbato Aganzo: "Michelle is also here, and let me summarize the situation. That place is a cluster of black nightmares leaked from monsters. I thought it was the nightmare of monsters itself, but now I think differently. Things that look different from what we remember. The body parts of Bakal's creatures that you collected from the Sky Tower. And everything else we've seen surpass the distortion and vagueness of memories and dreams." Michelle: "Are you saying...that the place is real?" Zanbato Aganzo: "I think so. I just don't know where it is. There's something I must check, so I'm going to get in there again." Luther: "The Black Nightmare? Are you saying that ominous gate is created by the Black Nightmare?" Zanbato Aganzo: "Maybe Bwanga has reached the same conclusion as I, and that's why he's still in there. But you and Michelle should keep looking for him. He might be in danger. Luther, stay here for a little longer. We might find more clues about the Black nightmare than [the] Empire."

Did you know Bakal once ruled Empyrean and did various things that have evoked hatred in the people of Empyrean? I don't blame them. Bakal created three dragons: Berserk Dragon Hismar, Death Dragon Spirazzi, and Ice Dragon Skasa. Those three dragons are the Lord's children and faithful lieutenants. I'm the descendant of a measly Dragonoid foot soldier, but I'm still proud of my lineage, and there horns are proof." <player>: "Then why are you leading the Resistance and fighting the Empire?" Luther: "The Empire slaughtered my kind. It promised peace and stabbed us in the back more than once. I witnessed its butchery more times than I'd like to care. It thinks we're too dangerous to be left alone, so it enslaves us and experimented on us as it would on lab animals. Does it explain my hatred toward the Empire?" Michelle: "..." (Michelle pales).

Luther: "I want to know that too. If the Black Nightmare really came from Empyrean, it would've shown the world, but it hasn't, which means the gate is not the Black Nightmare itself. It'll be a feat if we can at least figure out why the Black Nightmare has come down to Arad. We'd better hurry. That sneaky Empire might join us soon and force us to share information with it."

Luther's Conjecture

Level	46

Briefing	Luther: "According to you, the Foundation of the Nightmare appears on the other side of the Dream Gate. The gate and space beyond it are created by some smoke that monsters released, some power that Aganzo believes is the Black Nightmare. This is what I think: the Black Nightmare, having escaped from the monsters sealed in this place, opened the gate to go somewhere it can be free. I don't know if it has a will, and even if it doesn't, it could be moving to where the Foundation of the Nightmare is." Michelle: "I see. You have a point, Luther." Luther: "I'm glad you agree with me. Let me continue. The Black Nightmare is not welcomed wherever it goes, given what it's done to this world. So those archbishops of the GBL Order could have researched it to protect their order against it."

Luther: "According to this journal, the place you explored has been attacked by some strange force. The archbishops tried to use monsters to fight back, but to no avail. then they tried to use the power of an Apostle that they were secretly researching. They didn't write what happened afterword."

<player>: (Adenbain of Behemoth used Lotus's body part for his wicked magic. Did they do something similar?)

Luther: "...This is just a theory, but the Apostles continue to exert their evil powers over their surroundings even after death. This may sound strange, coming from a Dragonoid like me, but it's been said that the Apostles have the ability to control minds without their victims' knowledge. What if those GBL followers were made to think that they had to rely on the Apostle's power, and were driven to madness as a result? It's hard to digest, but it could be true. Anyway, I don't think there's anything else left in this place we can find. It seems they went insane long before the point of time linked to the gate and the Black Nightmare."

Michelle: "But um... Bwanga could have been here. I want to check if anyone has seen him."

Luther: "But this adventurer said they all are mad. I don't think we can trust their memories."

Briefing

Michelle: "It seems Alsor was very enthusiastic about learning. Um... He tries to get help from...Apostle Hilder...to protect his order against...Lotus's attacks."

<player>: "Apostle?"

Michelle: "Yes. The book didn't go into detail, but Hilder is an Apostle, but unlike the others, she refuses to cause harm to others. The next page says Alsor left the temple... And that's the end of the story."

If player isn't a creator:

<player>: (An Apostle who refuses to cause harm to others. If all Apostles were like her, our world would have remained peaceful. How can I meet her?)

If player is a creator:

<player>: (So she's the Hilder in Pandemonium. She's the Apostle who refuses to cause harm to others. I wish she was with me. She could've been very helpful.)

Luther: "The description of Alsor is short, which means he belonged to a fringe group of researchers in his order. I guess this is the most we can find about him. But I'm interested in knowing more about Hilder. Could you go back there and look for her traces?"

Objectives

Foundation of the Nightmare: "Give... up... Everything... is... All but a... dream..."

Upon Completion

Luther: "The Foundation of the Nightmare reemerged? 'Everything is all but a dream...' I hope he wasn't talking about the futility of life. We can think about the meaning of his word later. For now we should focus on the fact that he appeared at such an opportune time."

Michelle: "I don't know how much the Foundation of the Nightmare knows, but he showed up when we were trying to investigate the place and collect proof about Apostle Hilder. Maybe..."

<player>: "Come to think of it, Iris said the Apostles called forth the Black Nightmare into Arad. Maybe th Foundation of the Nightmare doesn't want us to know more about the Apostles."

Luther: "...This is bad. The Empire wants the power of the Black Nightmare. If it's originated from the powerful entities, Apsotles, then it's a more dangerous weapon than we thought it was. I'd better leave now. I have to join my comrades in the Resistance. I'll come later to have a drink with Aganzo. You can come join us then. keep up the good work protecting the peace."

He was as brave and kind-hearted as his brother, but when Mountain Thunderime collapsed on us, he died helping us escape... But since then, Bainti started showing up in my dreams to help me, as if Orca sent her to me."

Orca: "Halt. You're trespassing the territory of the Bantus. Only those whom I, Vice Chief of the Bantus, Orca, approve can set foot in our territory. If you're from the Empire or the Principality to threaten us, then you've just walked into trouble. An adventurer? What brings an adventurer to Mountain Thunderime? Do you know how dangerous we Bantus can be? Leave while you can. This is your one and only chance."

Upon defeating the boss:

Orca: "You came to find Bwanga? I don't know you. I'm not going to tell you where my brother is. Scram! ...You know Aganzo, too? I've heard that lie before. If you're lying to me, you'll pay the price dearly. I have a letter from Aganzo. I'll give it to you. I don't understand why someone would come so far and ask for something like this, but don't come back. I won't be as tolerant of you as I am now."

Orca: "Dialog Script ERROR!! (Quest Index: 2042)

Upon Completion

Orca: "I've changed my mind. I'm not sure if you're really the person Aganzo meant. You can't take the letter, but you can read it."

<player>: (He's a difficult man.) "Okay. 'I'm not sure if the person reading this letter is the one I want, but i have no choice but to take the chance. If there's one consolation, this letter will be puzzling to the wrong person. Long story short, I'm afraid I'm stuck in this dream. So is Bwanga. I feel as if we're sent on a wild-goose chase by the Foundation of the Nightmare. I can go wherever I want inside this dream, but i can't find the Dream Gate. Stay with Michelle, and you won't get lost. Ask Michelle to find where she can sense the presences of the Apostles. I think they're related to the purpose of the Black Nightmare. This place on the other side of the Dream Gate doesn't seem to be a dream of monsters or a real world. This is just a theory, but this place can be the image of another dimension projected by the Black Nightmare inside itself. That's all I've figured out so far. I'll continue to find Bwanga. You guys should look for places where the Apostles can be sensed.' ...I read it all. Here, you can take it."

Orca: "Now your business is done. Go back now. If I find you still here, then I'll sic my warriors on you."

A World Projected by the Black Nightmare

Quest Giver

Dungeon

Briefing

Michelle: "You came back. Huh? You've read Aganzo's letter? Um, could you tell me what it was about? ... The place on the other side of the Dream Gate is not a dream of monsters or a real world. The projected image of another dimension... That means the Dream Gate links our dimension with another. That explains why I've been struggling to See. I shouldn't have been able to see other dimensions, but because these places are the images of other dimensions projected inside the Black Nightmare. That's why I was able to See them. This means an interdimensional rift was formed near the Iced Wall, probably from impact of the Great Metastasis. And the Black Nightmare leaked out from the sealed monsters, entered the rift, and created new spaces where it could thrive. The Black Nightmare is probably not strong enough to actually move over to a new dimension, so staying inside the rift was the best it could do."

<player>: "Staying inside the rift was the best it could do?"

Michelle: "This is just a theory, but those who are put to sleep by the Black Nightmare wake up violent. But what if their violence isn't induced by the Black Nightmare? What is it's their innate trait and the Black Nightmare only released if from their inhibition? Everyone, monsters and men alike, has violence in them. ...Um, at least that's what I think. Okay, um, now I'll go look for the presences of the Apostles."

Even twins have different wavelengths, but all the Foundations have the same wavelength as if they're sharing one body." <player>: "Then is it possible there was one Foundation of the Nightmare in the beginning and he split into multiple entities with different personalities?"

<player>: "I know, and there's one other thing: the letter. Orca didn't let me leave with the letter. What if the Orca I met is just an illusion created by the Black Nightmare? When I fought Apostle Lotus, his influence over my mind was so strong that I hallucinated. I thought I was attacked by countless enemies, but in reality, there was only Lotus who attacked me."

Michelle: "So you're saying..."

<player>: "Yes. I'm saying the Orca I saw is an illusion. So is Aganzo's message for me. That's why. Michelle, I want to make Bwanga and Aganzo come to me instead of coming to them. If the real Bwanga and Aganzo come, we'll come out of the nightmare together. Even if it's not, we'll know the Foundation of Nightmare has been interfering with us because he's threatened by us."

Siran: "Who's that?" Zanbato Aganzo: "Why do you care? Siran, don't change the subject. I must have a match with you. Adventurer, you'd better leave. I thank you for coming to find me, but I can't leave just yet. I have to check something." Siran: "...Hmpf, I feel as if I'm talking to a brick wall. I've been asking you this before that adventurer showed up. Who the hell are you? Why do you look like Aganzo? And why are you picking a fight with me? All right, fine. If you really want a good beating, then I'll give it to you." <player>: (Aganzo give me a look that tells me I should leave. Maybe I should do that. I don't want to get involved in their fight.)

Dungeon Dialogue	Siran: "I used to have a friend whom I could talk to. What a funny chap he was! One day, he and I sneaked into a farm to steal some...Why am I talking to you about him? Gosh, I must be senile. Forget it and just go. No one needs to hear about days long gone by. Look at you. You look like you have all the problems in the world resting on your shoulders. Stop being so dramatic. Everything solves itself one way or another. I know you don't believe me, but step back from what you're doing and observe. You'll find clues. Don't take everything so serious, all right? What? Say it louder. I can't hear you when you mumble. What now? Apostle? Help? Why do you ask me? You're the young and strong one here. I'm sore, just sitting here. Believe it or not, I'm ancient. I don't look so old, you said? Well, I am, and don't ask me why I look so young 'cause I have no answer."

Briefing

Michelle: "The Siran in the nightmare didn't think Aganzo was the Aganzo that he knew. That Siran may be a mere illusion projected by the Foundation of the Nightmare, but still he's great."

<player>: "I agree. By the way, Michelle, what's that in your hand?"

Michelle: "You brought many necklaces of the Bantus the other day. I showed them to Valena, and she thought one of them belonged to Bwanga.

<player>: "No..."

Michelle: "I don't think he lost it because he was wounded or worse. I checked its memories. The necklace really belongs to Bwanga. I think you should bring it with you, in case you meet Bwanga. I'll tell you the memories I read off the necklace."

Bwanga: "Are you worried I might be a mere image shown to you by the Black Nightmare? Hah hah, you're smart. All right, how to you want me to prove myself to you? You want me to know how I got that necklace. It belonged to my brother. He died protecting my tribesmen while I was away, tunneling through a mountain of snow caused by an avalanche. I left his body to Mother Mountain and took the necklace as a keepsake. Michelle came up with this idea, didn't she? All right, I'm ready to leave. I enjoyed the scenery I've missed so much and I've found the thing i was looking for. I have no more reason to stay here."

I dropped it by mistake while dealing with that treacherous Foundation of the Nightmare. I don't know how it got into your hand." Valena: "We can talk later. Let's go eat. Everyone's been waiting for your return!" Bwanga: "Hah hah hah! I'd better listen to Valena, or she won't leave me alone. All right, Adventurer and Michelle, let's go eat first."

The Deepest Part of the Nightmare

Level

Quest Giver

Dungeon

Briefing

Bwanga: "Since Aganzo and I entered, the Foundation of the Nightmare showed us a variety of illusions. If it were outside the nightmare, I wouldn't have let such trickery affect me, but I was in his turf. It was all but impossible to distinguish reality from fantasy. I think he has the ability to read minds, and that probably has something to do with the violent behavior of monsters that are attacked by the Black Nightmare. What he's capable of is a nightmare in itself."

Michelle: "So it was the Foundation of the Nightmare who made you hallucinate and me track down the energy of an Apostle that I wasn't familiar with."

<player>: "He sent me to the plagued area because he wanted me to die from the disease and stop following him. Fortunately I took the vaccine ahead of time."

Bwanga: "He's more calculating than I thought. He's been playing with us, all the while expanding his territory. Have you met Aganzo?"

<player>: "I met him just before I found you, but I couldn't talk to him. He was too busy fighting with a Siran in a nightmare."

Bwanga: "Hm, he's probably thinking the same thing as I. Let's wait until Aganzo is done whatever he's doing and come back. Michelle, guide us to the deepest part of the nightmare where the Foundation of the Nightmare is hiding. It'll be difficult to find him, but he's only recently claimed that area, so it'll be easier to feel him out in there."

Objectives

Follow Michelle's guide into the Deepest Part of the Nightmare.

Talking to Bwanga

Level	46
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "Hearing about that place reminds me of something. Before the Great Metastasis, there was a group of bandits that went on the rampage across the Principality of Bel Myre. They were called the Madness Bandits, and they even intruded our territory in the Stru Mountains looking for hidden treasures. I made sure they would never come back." Michelle: "Um, Bwanga... Then could you check them? If the inside of that place really is another reality created by the Foundation of the Nightmare, then the bandits in there could be the same ones you've met." <player>: "Maybe you're right. We believed the inside of that place was the projected image of another dimension only because of the forged letter by the Foundation of the Nightmare. So it's important what we find out what that place really is." Bwanga: "The projected image of another dimension? What are you talking about? Tell me."
Objectives	Go to Bwanga and tell him about the letter forged by the Foundation of the Nightmare. Meet Bwanga: 0/1
Upon Completion	Bwanga: "The Foundation of the Nightmare created an illusion of Orca and even confused you with a letter he forged to make look like it's from Aganzo?"

We Have an Interrupter

Level	46
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "We all know the Foundation of the Nightmare can get inside our heads and confuse us. But how did he know Michelle was guiding you to a new nightmare every time? According to you, Michelle has never gone beyond the Dream Gate." <player>: "Maybe he rummaged through my memories, to confuse Michelle." Bwanga: "That's what I think is strange. To confuse Michelle, she has to be inside the nightmare, but she's never entered it." <player>: "...Oh! That's what has been bothering me! She's never entered any place the Foundation of the Nightmare created. How did he make her feel as if she could sense the energies of the Apostles who she's never seen?" Michelle: "Y-you're right. I've only watched you from the outside. I don't know how he confused me from the inside." Bwanga: "I think someone's helping the Foundation of the Nightmare."
Objectives	Go to Michelle and ask who could interfere with her. Meet Michelle: 0/1
Upon Completion	Michelle: "I can't even fathom who would want to interfere with me. I'm not a mage, so no ordinary magic can affect me." <player>: "Michelle, you're a Cypher. Does that mean only the other Cyphers can interfere with your ability?" Michelle: "Ah, yes. But...most Cyphers are dead, and we weren't even many to begin with. Plus, every one of us is capable of a different ability. I specialize in telekinesis, which affects the wavelengths of elements of the world and their waves. If there was someone with a similar ability, I would've known. Even if there is, he can't be on this side of the Dream Gate." <player>: (Michelle's ability is unique. Then the only person who can interfere with her is Michelle herself!)

Michelle the Telekinetic: "I just played a prank, and you acted as if it was the end of the world. That was funny. Now, let's have a match with me, adventurer from a different dimension. You'll have to kill me if you don't want to get stuck in this maze forever."

Upon defeating the Boss:

Michelle the Telekinetic: "Now I know... why... he's so wary of you..."

Upon Completion

Michelle the Telekinetic: "...? Why aren't you killing me? I interrupted you."

Michelle the Telekinetic: "Stop pretending you care. Everyone who approached us Cyphers was just like you. they said they needed our powers. They promised they would save us. They only used us, and then abandoned us."

<player>: "Why did you listen to the Foundation of the Nightmare and interrupt us?"

Michelle the Telekinetic: "...You came to see me once, though I think it was by mistake. I saw the innocent look on your face and thought, 'I want to interrupt someone...harass someone before I die.' I wanted to know what it is like to harass someone. But I still don't know why someone would want to harass others because I hated it."

Suddenly I wanted to change the world, so it could accept us Cyphers... Then I met Bwanga and Aganzo. I was happy. I like being needed by someone...like you, Adventurer." (Michelle bursts into tears.) "I could've become as twisted as her, but I'm different from Michelle in that place. Now that I know who's interrupting me, confusing me, I won't give her another chance at it. Adventurer, could you trust me and enter the Deepest Part of the Nightmare?

North Myre in Another Dimension

Level

Quest Giver

Dungeon

Briefing

Michelle: "This time the nightmare is showing somewhere near North Myre, which is now called Meltdown, having been destroyed by the Great Metastasis. Do you remember what Michelle in the nightmare called you? Adventurer from a different dimension. that Michelle isn't an illusion created by the Foundation of the Nightmare, so she was calling you that of her own accord. That means the projected image of another dimension, as written in the forged letter of Aganzo's, holds true to some extent."

Bwanga: "Not everything the Foundation said was a lie. Then again, we would've figured him out earlier if there was no truth in his words."

Michelle: "Yes. That means it's true the Dream Gate is an interdimensional gate and that the nightmares are the images of other dimensions. But it's yet to be known whether the images are the imaginations of the Foundation's or of real dimensions."

Objectives

Enter Depth and look for things that could prove the realness of the place.

Rat Tail (15)

Michelle: "Adventurer, please touch that thing you brought. Does it feel the same as when you picked it up while in the nightmare? It's wavelength is the same as when I first felt it from this side. When I observe something in the nightmare from this side, it looks blurry as its wavelength has to be transferred across dimensions, but I still can tell the basic pattern of fluctuation in its wavelength. What we did this time confirms what we've known already. Just the fact that you could bring this object to our dimension from the other side of the dream Gate proves that its world is real. Now I'm convinced Michelle is real, so are all worlds on the other side of the Dream Gate."

I too have seen how people around the Foundation Seed disappear when the seed is removed. I don't think they die or vanish into oblivion, but their presences inside the nightmare weaken."

Michelle: "I think...the seed is a very important tool for the Foundation of the Nightmare. He has a reason to reenact other dimensions and everything in them in his territory. The seed is the medium to sustain the people and monsters of the reenacted dimensions, and...it's usually hidden and revealed only when the dimension becomes unstable."

The Foundation Seed is to sustain the images of different dimensions, and it's the strongest weapon and the most vulnerable point for the Foundation of the Nightmare.

Truth of the Nightmare

Level	46
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "We've been through a lot and things were confusing at times, but we've been able to figure out more than we thought we could. I've seen the Foundation Seed in Arad before, but I didn't know what it could do until I saw it again in that place. Then I realized it was related to the Black Nightmare." Michelle: "The Foundation Seed is a medium that the Foundation of the Nightmare of the Black Nightmare uses to summon or bring in something. That means the Black Nightmare tried to bring something to Arad... Oh, Adventurer!"
Objectives	Go to Michelle and listen to her conclusion. Meet Michelle: 0/1
Upon Completion	Michelle: "I know what the Foundation of the Nightmare is trying to do. He's trying to transfer the world of a different dimension to our world! We know the Apostles are capable of such a transfer. The Black Nightmare is created and transferred to our world by the Apostles, and the Black nightmare itself has the same power. Now it makes sense why the Foundation of the Nightmare drops those murky Metastatic Crystals. It was not because he was brought in to our world. He brought in a different world into his territory. That means the places on the other side of the Dream Gate are not just images of other dimensions. They're the worlds of other dimensions transferred to our world by the Foundation of the Nightmare."

I'm guessing Aganzo already knew what we know now and tried to confirm the truth." Michelle: "Siran is such a great Deujlist that not even the Black Nightmare can replicate him to a tee. Bwanga and Aganzo are almost the only people who can compete with Siran in a contest of strength." <player>: "Aganzo knows as much as we do. What do we do now?"

The seal is going to break sooner or later. We don't have much time. Fortunately, though, neither does the Foundation of the Nightmare.

The Apostle's spawn as proof that the Foundation of the Nightmare used every ounce of his strength to transfer the world. The situation is dangerous, very dangerous, but at the same time this is an opportunity for us. I talked with Michelle, and together we came to a conclusion that the Foundation of the Nightmare have been able to transfer different worlds into our world because their transferred locations are within his territory. We're confirmed that we can send transferred worlds back to their dimensions if we stop them before they settle down. In other words, it's possible to cancel the Metastasis of worlds. We'd better make a move quickly, but with extra caution."

To Stop the Foundation of the Nightmare

Level

Quest Giver

Dungeon

Briefing

Bwanga: "While you've explored the nightmare, I've been trying to stop the Black Nightmare leaking from the monsters sealed within the Iced Wall. I'm afraid I've reached me limit. I think the Foundation of the Nightmare is so desperate that he's summoning the Black Nightmare from anywhere he can. The Dream Gate has to be closed, or there's nothing else I can do about the leakage. It takes a lot of energy for the Foundation of the Nightmare to sustain powerful entities in our world. Maybe by weakening such entities, we can weaken him at the same time. Can you think of any entity strong enough to affect him?"

Objectives

Eliminate a strong entity in Endless Nightmare.

Vangelis: 0/1

Dungeon Dialogue

Upon encountering the Boss:

Vangelis: "Finally you've come to this place. You've been nothing but a nuisance to us GBL followers carrying out the prophesy we received. I'll shed your blood and avenge Lotus!"

<Player>: "Vangelis..."

Upon defeating the Boss:

<Player>: "Even if they're from a different dimension, Lotus and the other Apostles cannot be forgiven."

Upon Completion

Bwanga: "Finally! I've been waiting for this tremor."

Michelle accompanies the Player in Room A4.
Caution: Rooms are filled with Corrupt Ghosts and pots filled with Shackled Ghosts. The ghosts inflict heavy multiple damage hits and hitstun to all nearby targets they touch.

Level	46
Quest Giver	Zanbato Aganzo
Briefing	Zanbato Aganzo: "Welcome back. You must have successfully defeated the Foundation of the Nightmare. It seems the transferred world is going back to its dimensions, unable to settle down in the nightmare." Michelle: "Aganzo! When did you get back?!" Zanbato Aganzo: "Just before you guys returned." <player>: "What have you been doing in there?" Zanbato Aganzo: "...I checked on you from time to time, and you looked like you were doing fine without me. So I decided to pursue my own goal." <player>: "You mean you looked for a way to stop the Black Nightmare?" Zanbato Aganzo: "... The Black Nightmare is no longer entering the Dream Gate, and the monsters sealed within the Iced Wall have calmed down. Good job."

Level	46
Quest Giver	Zanbato Aganzo
Briefing	Zanbato Aganzo: "You know as much as I do, or you wouldn't have been able to stop the Metastasis phenomenon inside the nightmare and eliminate the Foundation of the Nightmare. I'm convinced that the Black Nightmare has been sent by an Apostle, though I don't know exactly who. The Foundation of the Nightmare I met said he did all this to 'change the darkness.' We'll have to continue investigating the Black Nightmare to figure out what he means." <player>: "'Change the darkness?' The ones I met said, 'light to one,' and, 'bring light back to him.'" Zanbato Aganzo: "...Light. Did they mean change the darkness with light, or...?" Michelle: "'Turn the darkness into light and bring the unified light back to him.' ...Oh. Um, I didn't figure that out on my own. I've heard the phrase from somewhere... Well, I didn't hear it. It was more like the phrase was 'inserted into my head.' I wasn't trying to hide it. It just came out of my mouth as I was listening to you two." <player>: "Michelle, it's okay." Michelle: "Um...okay."
Objectives	Talk to Michelle after she calms down. Meet Michelle: 0/1
Upon Completion	Michelle: "I think the phrase was transmitted into my head when I saw Michelle in another dimension. I was focusing on her wavelength, to avoid her further interruption. that Michelle must have heard it from the Foundation of the Nightmare, and I think the 'he' mentioned in the phrase is an Apostle who created the Foundation of the Nightmare." <player>: "An Apostle..." Michelle: "Yes. The Apostle is somewhere beyond Empyrean, and he's hiding deep, overwhelming darkness in him. That's all Michelle could extract from the Foundation of the Nightmare." <player>: "The Apostle is somewhere beyond Empyrean... Iris said the Apostles were leaving Pandemonium to come to Arad. That means we'll have to go to Pandemonium to stop the Black Nightmare and the Apostles."

To Stop the Apostles

Quest Giver	Aganzo
Briefing	Briefing Dialogue Aganzo: "Finally the Dream Gate is closed. The scratch it left across dimensions wouldn't disappear completely, but at least now we don't have to worry about worlds from other dimensions encroaching on ours." Bwanga: "You've done well. What are you going to do now? If you want, you can stay with us Bantus until you're ready to get back on your journey." <Player>: "I came here to investigate the Black Nightmare, but I couldn't accomplish that. I want to check someplace else." Aganzo: "Are you looking for a way to go to Empyrean, or Pandemonium, the world of Apostles?" <Player>: "...I can't forgive the Apostles. They're not only responsible for random Metastasis, but they've inflicted too much pain on too many people." Bwanga: "I see. Then you should go to Underfoot. Information is abundant in which there's a large crowd." Michelle: "You're leaving. I didn't have a chance to properly thank you for all your help... I've learned a lot and became stronger because of you. Stay safe wherever you are. And let me know anytime if I can help you."
Objectives	Meet Annis in Underfoot.

An Apostle emerged, yest but he didn't eat anyone... At least I don't think he did." Annis: "Oh? Were you there when the Apostle appeared? Whoa! Are you the adventurer who defeated the Apostle with Brother Vaughn?!" <Player>: "(Unable to resist Annis's sparkling googly eyes, I tell her about Apostle Lotus and Behemoth. It seems to Annis, Behemoth is just a cute whale that flies in the sky, even though I try to tell her that's not true.) By the way, you mentioned someone. Who's Brother Vaughn?" Annis: "A friend of mine introduced him to me, and he's an Imperial Knight. At first I called him Sir Knight to be polite, and he got upset because he thought I thought he looked scary. He told me to call him Brother Vaughn instead, so..." <Player>: "..." Annis: "...? What's wrong? Oh, do you want to meet Brother Vaughn? He's arrived in Underfoot a while ago. I can tell you where he's staying." If Player is a Female Slayer: <Player>: "Thank you. Oh, Annis? Don't pay too much attention to what that man tells you, okay?"
Objectives	Go to Vaughn in Underfoot.

Briefing	Briefing Dialogue Iris: "Terranite is a mysterious substance unique to Pandemonium. It's a double-edged sword. While it makes incredibly powerful battle gears, it can cause mutation in life forms. Terranite cannot be seen in Arad unless it's transferred from Pandemonium. Where did you find it?" If <player> isn't a Creator: <Player>: "(I can't tell her about Area 50.) I found it by accident. Its glow caught my eyes. I've been looking for someone who can tell me about it." Iris: "I see. I know terranite because I'm from Pandemonium. It's only natural that everyone else in this place has no idea about the substance. It's been a long time since the last time I saw terranite. It reminds me of my home." <Player>: "Can't you go back to Pandemonium?" Iris: "I'd love to, but it's next to impossible. I'm lucky to be alive and out of that place. Terranite can be a great material or a terrible weapon depending on who uses it, but I trust you'll put it into a good use." If <player> is a Creator: <Player>: "(I can't tell her about Area 50.) I found it by accident. Its glow caught my eyes. It doesn't look like the terranite I know, though. Would it be because it's in a different world?" Iris: "It's possible that the Metastatic energy tweaked the terranite's constitution. It's been a long time since the last time I saw terranite. It reminds me of my home." <Player>: "Can't you go back to Pandemonium?" Iris: "I'd love to, but it's next to impossible. I'm lucky to be alive and out of that place. So are you. Terranite can be a great material or a terrible weapon depending on who uses it, but I trust you'll put it into a good use."

'I'm not sure if the person reading this letter is the one I want, but i have no choice but to take the chance. If there's one consolation, this letter will be puzzling to the wrong person. Long story short, I'm afraid I'm stuck in this dream. So is Bwanga. I feel as if we're sent on a wild-goose chase by the Foundation of the Nightmare. I can go wherever I want inside this dream, but i can't find the Dream Gate. Stay with Michelle, and you won't get lost. Ask Michelle to find where she can sense the presences of the Apostles. I think they're related to the purpose of the Black Nightmare. This place on the other side of the Dream Gate doesn't seem to be a dream of monsters or a real world. This is just a theory, but this place can be the image of another dimension projected by the Black Nightmare inside itself. That's all I've figured out so far. I'll continue to find Bwanga. You guys should look for places where the Apostles can be sensed.' ...I read it all. Here, you can take it."
