Dialogue[edit]

Before event starts
Rift Hunter Helvig: I'm sensing a lot of Kryptis activity nearby, but it's ... supressed, somehow. Far away. But not.
Lieutenant Scaldfist: Should I be concerned, Hunter?
Rift Hunter Helvig: Hard to tell, but I think they're fighting? Among themselves? Hey, if they want to kill each other, more power to them-
Lieutenant Scaldfist: Fighting? Attention, team! I want to know what's going on in that cave. Form up!
Interacting with Rift Hunter Helvig
So, you going to join us on this asinine mission?
Talk ready option.png Seems like you might need me.
Talk end option tango.png When you put it that way ... No.
Event start
Lieutenant Scaldfist: Let's go, team. Lead the way, Helvig.
Rift Hunter Helvig: Seems like we're putting ourselves in harm's way when we could just sit back and let them kill each other. Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Scaldfist: You handle tracking the demons. I'll handle giving the orders. Move.
First enemy encounter
Rift Hunter Helvig: I can't make any sense of - Look out!
Midway
Rift Hunter Helvig: They felt... different.
Lieutenant Scaldfist: How?
Rift Hunter Helvig: Agitated. Frustrated. At us, probably?
Lieutenant Scaldfist: Hm. Maybe. Maybe not. Keep moving, team!
Rift Hunter Helvig: More Kryptis!
Last encounter
Rift Hunter Helvig: So many! What are they doing out here?
Event success
Rift Hunter Helvig: Looks like they've got something nasty locked in there.
Lieutenant Scaldfist: Maybe. Why would they need to seal something in... Crack it open, Hunter.
