Dialogue[edit]

At the south wall of Great Debate Hall
Lyhr: Think to scare us with some rifts, feed on our fears? Won't find anybody scared here, eh!
Lyhr: We're gonna laugh in your spiny faces and spit on your shattered horns! Laugh with me, friends! (laugh)
Lyhr: Kryptis first, all! Anything flies outta that hole, send it back deader than it came in.
Lyhr: Lot less scary as corpses, aren't they? Now for that tentacle...
Lyhr: Not gonna go easy. All the more satisfying when the job's done, eh?
Lyhr: Use Balance Bringer! Smash the curse! Stop death in its tracks!
Lyhr: Ah, an uninvited guest. Looks hungry.
Lyhr: (spits) Let's give this repulsive bastard something to chew on, shall we?
Peitha: How vulgar. His anger is delicious, though.
Lyhr: The tentacle! Hack it to bits! Make stew out of this beast! We'll feed on them for once!
Lyhr: Watch the skies. Use your skyscale to wipe out anything above the ground.
Lyhr: That's it! Seal it up! Lock 'em out! Swallow the key!
Lyhr: Yes! Back to Nayos with you! Go curl up and die, beast!
Lyhr: It's done. We're done. For now. Settle down. Take a breath.
Lyhr: All is lost. (roars) Go down swinging! Take as many of the bastards with you as you can. (event failure)
At Vass Memorial Medical Plaza
Gol: Combat frenzy with serenity. They are the storming tide. We, the unmoving seawall.
Gol: Don't allow the tentacle to distract. Dedicate yourself to our task—subdue the Kryptis first.
Gol: I feel them probing my mind. I will not be goaded.
Gol: A death curse. Remain calm. Use Balance Bringer to dispel it.
Gol: The rift will not close with that tentacle obstructing it. Sometimes violence can't be helped.
Gol: We must kill, so do it swiftly.
Gol: A High Kryptis intervenes. Anchor your thoughts. Focus on its destruction. Determination, not hatred.
Gol: Again, we must forcibly remove this tentacle. Regrettable, but it was they who chose violence.
Gol: The Heart of the Obscure. Wield it. Seal them in Nayos.
Gol: Resisting the urge to hate these creatures... It is strenuous work. But we've earned a respite. However brief.
Gol: I will not succumb. I will not counter evil with evil. Even in death. I MUST NOT HATE! (event failure)
At Creature Corral in the Bastion of the Natural
Zizel: (gulp) I...I'm not ready. I'm not...
Zizel: That's...not good. Do I have enough concoctions? Myak, they're already spilling from the portal. We need to staunch the flow.
Zizel: Watch the tentacle! Watch it! If they get a hold of...of me...
Zizel: Throw my concoctions at them! Packed 'em down with sap from an Elonian obesum. Very toxic plant. Powerful punch.
Zizel: F-focus on the tentacle! It isn't harmless, but it won't knock you out in one swoop.
Zizel: Are we making any progress? That...that's a big one. Surely, we won't... We can't...
Zizel: It's shielding the tentacle! We stand no chance of stopping this until we kill that Kryptis!
Zizel: Meteors? Watch out!
Zizel: The...shield is down? The shield is down! Quickly now, strike it down before another erupts in its place!
Zizel: Close it! Close it! CLOSE IT! You have the Heart—USE IT!
Zizel: (panting) My feet are on the ground. The likelihood of another supper with my comrades rises... You're okay, Zizel. You're okay.
Zizel: (deep breath) This is... this is it? Galrath, my friend— wherever you are, it was an honor. (event failure)
In the courtyard to the west of the Cellar of Arcana in the Bastion of Knowledge
R'tchikk: They come. R'tchikk feels fear. But without fear, there is no bravery. Thankfully skritt has strong friends.
R'tchikk: So many Kryptis. And that tentacled creature... But the Kryptis must fall first. Avoid the tentacle, fight the demons!
R'tchikk: Don't worry, Glade. The commander never loses. Hmm...mostly never.
R'tchikk: The Kryptis are beaten. That could've gone worse, eh? Now for this tentacled beast. Attack!
R'tchikk: See, Glade? Nothing to fear with strong friends by our side.
R'tchikk: The beast's armor, it's much too strong. Use the ward breaker!
R'tchikk: High Kryptis! R'tchikk spoke too soon. The fear returns.
R'tchikk: There is no choice; that Kryptis guards the tentacled beast. It must be destroyed, fear or no!
R'tchikk: The tentacle is vulnerable. Pummel the beast! Together!
R'tchikk: The Heart of the Obscure. Close the rift! Now!
R'tchikk: Ha-ha! Just as skritt said, Glade! Strong friends always overcome strong enemies!
R'tchikk: Failure. We are beaten. R'tchikk was right to fear. What happens now? Glade? Commander? (event failure)
At Spiritual Center
Livia: Impeccable timing as ever, hero. More Kryptis. And they've brought a friend. Have I mentioned how much I dislike them?
Livia: It bears repeating: I dislike them a great deal.
Livia: Deal with the Kryptis first. We'll introduce ourselves to that tentacle in due time.
Livia: I do wonder, do these demons feed on disdain? Let's hope not.
Livia: Your arcane rifle ought to knock some sense into this stubborn creature. Or knock it senseless, I should say.
Livia: The Kryptis are clearing. Let's acquaint our weapons with that tentacle, shall we?
Livia: Just as we're getting to know this tentacle, a High Kryptis interrupts. How uncouth. Let's kill it.
Livia: Care to teach that avatar some manners, hero?
Peitha: Are you...friends with this human? She's irritating.
Livia: To a safe space, quickly!
Livia: The tentacle is vulnerable now. Let's bring the festivities to a close.
Livia: Can you close that rift? Then please do. Our guests have outstayed their welcome.
Livia: Mmm. We make beautiful death together, do we not? Shame we don't get to join forces more often.
Livia: I... I believed these demons too unsophisticated to best us. I was naive. We all were. It has cost us everything. (event failure)
At Circle of Rituals
Vanak Faithwalker: Always good to take action against the Kryptis.
Vanak Faithwalker: The rift—stop those Kryptis first. See how they handle a quick punch in the mouth. Move.
Vanak Faithwalker: Avoid the arm. Don't let them get a bead on you.
Vanak Faithwalker: Use those grimoire spells. That armor is sure to break down...
Peitha: The armor, or their confidence... Which breaks first, I wonder.
Vanak Faithwalker: Yes. Now to close that rift—take the beast's arm off.
Vanak Faithwalker: Hm. High Kryptis. No time for this delay.
Vanak Faithwalker: We want the arm, need to cut that one down first. Yesterday.
Vanak Faithwalker: The eye! It's watching us. Look out for its beam!
Vanak Faithwalker: Now hammer that arm! Don't give it a second chance.
Vanak Faithwalker: Use the Heart. Slam the door. Losing isn't an option!
Vanak Faithwalker: Fast work. Good instincts. You know what you're about.
Vanak Faithwalker: We're lost. Everyone. These creatures have no honor. They will consume... everything. (event failure)
At Might's Brink Thicket
Yasko Ironquill: Incoming! Stick to Vanak's tactics. Neutralize the Ks[sic]. Strike the tentacle.
Yasko Ironquill: We've got this, squad! Give me a focused counterattack on those demons.
Yasko Ironquill: Evade the tentacles, but I need concentrated strikes on the Kryptis. Go! Go!
Yasko Ironquill: Neutralize the armor. I want grimoire spells on that target!
Yasko Ironquill: Well executed, squad. Put your attention on those tentacles next!
Yasko Ironquill: Stay alert. I'll get us through this.
Yasko Ironquill: Reinforcements! Can't expect your enemies to stick to your plan...
Yasko Ironquill: It's protecting the tentacle! New tactics, squad. I need your strikes on that avatar. Now!
Yasko Ironquill: Heads up, squad! Watch for beams from that eye!
Yasko Ironquill: It's weak! Make the tentacle your new target!
Yasko Ironquill: Seal the rift, squad! Get the Heart over there. Double-time!
Yasko Ironquill: Strong work, squad. Proud to fight alongside you.
Yasko Ironquill: I failed you, squad. This is on me. It's a heavy price, I'm afraid... (event failure)
Above Museum of Curiosities: Hall of Giants at the Bastion of Knowledge
Uenno: If we're going to survive this, you'll need to do exactly as I say.
Uenno: No questions. No mistakes. Just flawless execution. Of Kryptis.
Uenno: Concentrate on the demons. Don't waste time on that tentacle. Not yet.
Uenno: Understand? Avoid the tentacle. Remove the Kryptis from the equation.
Uenno: We must strip away its armor. You'll need the ward breaker!
Uenno: We've cleared a path. Tentacle next. Quickly. Efficiently.
Uenno: There's very little room for variables...
Uenno: Speaking of variables, that is a massive one... Change of plans! That avatar protects the tentacle.
Uenno: Neutralize the protection. Attack that demon. Immediately!
Uenno: Beware of those orbs. Take them out, quick as you can.
Uenno: There, it's vulnerable now. Concentrate on the tentacle. Give it everything we have.
Uenno: No hesitation—close the rift! Activate the Heart!
Uenno: Remarkable. Can't say I expected to survive that.
Uenno: It's done. We had no margin for error. The suffering will be unimaginable. Perhaps we're lucky we won't live to see it. (event failure)
West of Bastionmere
Narcisse: G-goodness, I... We have to contain this.
Narcisse: All of you, we need to keep this wound under control. Attack the ones coming out of the portal first.
Narcisse: The tentacle's quick. Don't stray too close, I predict it's deadly.
Narcisse: Use those concoctions! I can... I can smell how potent they are.
Narcisse: Good. Progress! Now, focus on the tentacle. If we damage it little by little, we can get ahead of this.
Narcisse: Is it growing... stronger, perhaps? Oh, goodness, this isn't good.
Narcisse: Malignant. We need to destroy the core of this infection before we can make any progress. Focus on the beast; kill it.
Narcisse: Meteors! Keep an eye on... the Eye!
Narcisse: It's time. Focus all of your strength on the tentacle. Another will emerge if we're not swift.
Narcisse: Seal the rift, quickly now! Just as Rian taught you, Wayfinder!
Narcisse: We did it. We did it. How are we feeling? Count your fingers; take a deep breath.
Narcisse: Oh, no... Okay, look at me. It's going to be okay. We're together. (event failure)
At the Cartography Chamber
Head Cartographer Pavish: Spirits. Here we go. Damn Kryptis can't take a hint. We don't want you here. Get lost!
Head Cartographer Pavish: Demons and...what? A giant squid tentacle? What do we do?
Head Cartographer Pavish: Too many Kryptis. Knock their brains in. If they have brains. Don't worry about that...octopus...thing. Yet.
Peitha: If we have brains?
Head Cartographer Pavish: Your arcane rifle should have enough kick to stun it. Let 'em have it!
Head Cartographer Pavish: That's enough demons. Told you you should've stayed home! Now let's get that tentacle!
Head Cartographer Pavish: Looks like they're sending backup. One of the High Kryptis. (groans)
Head Cartographer Pavish: Gonna have to deal with it. Wayfinder, get out your gun!
Head Cartographer Pavish: Find a safe place. Hurry!
Head Cartographer Pavish: That's the way! Hit the tentacle now! Don't give the beast another chance!
Head Cartographer Pavish: Quick, use your rift-sealing thing. Now! Before more come through!
Head Cartographer Pavish: Woo! We're alive! Ha-ha! Back into the rift you crawled out of! Run home to Nayos!
Head Cartographer Pavish: Oh no. They're too much. Too strong. How did we let this happen? Spirits save us all... (event failure)
At the Astronomic Nexus Ring
Captain Emund: Kryptis. They want us dead. We kill them first. Then the tentacle. Nice and simple.
Captain Emund: They all deserve death. No complications.
Peitha: That is a gross oversimplification.
Captain Emund: Only one way to stop that curse—dash in there and hack at it!
Captain Emund: That's it for the Kryptis. Now let's hit that tentacle.
Captain Emund: Looks like we've got a guard dog here. Take it down so we can hurt the tentacle.
Captain Emund: Don't look there! Look away! Look away!
Captain Emund: Thinkin' we better hit that tentacle now. Hole's not gonna close with that thing in the way.
Captain Emund: You got any rift-closing tricks up your sleeve? Now's the time!
Captain Emund: Ah, the simplicity of it. Swing. Crunch. Swing. Crunch. No guilt. No gray area. Us or them.
Captain Emund: Guess I'm gonna die alongside you. To a damn tentacle. (event failure)
At the Cosmic Theater Ring
Frode: They've come to test our mettle. Let's make them regret it.
Frode: Get to work on those Kryptis. We'll worry about the tentacle once they're handled.
Frode: Stay out of its way. Take the demons out. We go from there.
Frode: Launch yourself in there and stop the curse!
Frode: Now for the tentacle. This'll probably draw some unwanted attention, so prepare yourself for...anything.
Frode: High Kryptis! We'll need to take care of that thing.
Frode: Doesn't always feel good to be right, you know?
Frode: Don't look over there! It'll only cause you pain!
Frode: That actually worked. Outstanding. Now where were we? The tentacle. Let's kill it.
Frode: Need to close that rift. This fight's lasted too long already. Seal it!
Frode: I can't lie, wasn't sure we were going to last much longer. But the job is done.
Frode: It's over. We can't fight forever. I'm tired. So tired. Arina... (event failure)
