Dialogue

Before completing the heart

East Precinct send you to help? Thank whichever god is still watchin'. The city barrier is compromised; we need to clear out the Unchained Risen or we're looking at an even bigger outbreak.

You could say that. Compromised...how?

Normally, the Shrines of the Ocean protect us from the Unchained Risen, but the Eyes were stolen by a couple louts tryin' to kick up a little dust... A few Risen have already slipped through.

Who would do that?

Purists, I'd guess. They've been acting more...bold recently. They're eager to highlight all the problems they could "fix" in Cantha. Got no qualms about making things worse to support their argument.

Any plan to catch them?

They're stashed away somewhere in Grub Lane. If we can find where they're hiding out, we might be able to recover the Eyes of the Ocean that they stole. Restoring the shrines would be a great help.

Until then, what's the situation with the Unchained Risen?

It started with the grubs... They're usually the first to spring up during a breach. The crows eat 'em, and...boom! We've got an airborne infestation. We need to clear out the area.

How do I clear the grubs?

Squish 'em! They're surprisingly resilient, though; hard to kill something that's already dead. I've found that my springer's cannonball is the easiest method.

And the crows? (same as "What should I do with the crows?")

Let's talk about the thieves. (same as "Who would do that?")

I think I've got it.

What should I do with the crows?

You just need to catch them, but the problem is that after infection they keep flying until they drop... Should be able to intercept 'em with your springer.

What about the grubs? (same as "How do I clear the grubs?")

Let's talk about the thieves. (same as "Who would do that?")

I think I've got it.

Who would... want this to happen? (same as "Who would do that?")

I think I've got it.

I'll look into it.

I'll keep an eye out.

Tell me about these Unchained. (same as "Until then, what's the situation with the Unchained Risen?")

I'll see what I can do.

What do you have for sale? (only if previously completed the heart)

I'll see what I can do.

After completing the heart

Thanks for all your help. Even though some of the shrines are damaged beyond repair, the threat is much more manageable now.

So, what are these shrines?

When Soo-Won saved us, she left the Eyes of the Ocean as...gifts. They protect us from the lingering Zhaitan magic in the area by repelling any Unchained Risen threats.

I recovered an "Eye" from the Krait long ago. Did they steal it from here?

I[sic] not sure what a "krait" is, but I'm sure I would have heard if something tried to snatch one of the Eyes. Maybe it washed up from the Unending Ocean...?

Huh.

I'm glad they do.

What do you have for sale?

Of course, it was my pleasure.
