Dialogue[edit]

After receiving Valrun's mail
You came! Apologies for the urgency and unexpected mail, but Valrun contacted me after detecting the egg you recovered. Making sure that they're hatched properly is vital to their survival.
Talk more option tango.png Why the interest in turtles?
I come from a long line of Luxon turtle ranchers. Though our people have integrated and lost some of our identity, my family has held firm to our turtle traditions. We have weathered many storms.
Talk more option tango.png So what can I do for you?
Let me have your egg and I'll see to it that the turtle hatches. It's a fairly...delicate process. Meanwhile, if you get me what's on this list, I'll make sure it grows up nice 'n strong.
Talk collection option.png Sounds like a plan. (Completes the second step of the Stomping Around achievement and unlocks the Turtle Unlock: Starting Small achievement.)
Rota: Well, first things first: looks like your little fella is primed and ready to hatch.
Rota: See that wiggle? Somebody's got spunk.
Rota: Right on time. Hey there, pal. Ready to bring ruin to your enemies?
Rota: It'll take some time before they're big enough to carry you to battle, but they'll get there. Promise.
Talk end option tango.png I don't have time for this.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, I need to leave.
Talk end option tango.png I have to leave.
While working on either Turtle Unlock: Starting Small or Turtle Unlock: Getting Stronger
Come back when you've gotten everything I've asked for. For the sake of the little one.
Talk more option tango.png Why do you need all this food?
If you want your turtle to grow big and strong, it needs to eat as much as it possibly can early in life. Growth is essential, and their stomachs are, well...quite bottomless.
Talk end option tango.png That makes sense. Good-bye.
Talk more option tango.png What's that bot for?
Oh, you mean Fidget? Turtles aren't the best eaters. Fidget will take your fish and grind 'em up into something the turtle can handle. When you have the food, take it to the bot to get the turtle fed.
Talk more option tango.png Why do you need all this food? (Same as above)
Talk end option tango.png That makes sense. Good-bye.
Talk end option tango.png I have to leave.
After completing the Turtle Unlock: Starting Small achievement
That was quick! Your turtle is growing fast. Take a look when you get a chance.
Talk more option tango.png What's next?
That's quite enough produce. Good... Good! Your turtle is now big enough to handle a bit more protein. Get them some fish. And get a...wide assortment. They can be pretty picky at this age.
Talk more option tango.png Fish, coming up! (Completes the fourth step of the Stomping Around achievement and unlocks the Turtle Unlock: Getting Stronger achievement.)
Rota: You'd be shocked how much they can eat at this age. Puts my wrestling days to shame.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, I need to leave.

After completing the Turtle Unlock: Getting Stronger achievement
Well, your turtle has gotten a LOT bigger. It's almost...shocking how fast they can grow with a little bit of elbow grease and affection.
Talk more option tango.png Looking good. What's next?
Let's slow down on the food for a bit. If you're going to hang with your turtle, you'll need a saddle. Get everything on the list, and we'll get one built for you.
Talk more option tango.png Sounds like a plan. (Completes the sixth step of the Stomping Around achievement and unlocks the Turtle Unlock: Suiting Up achievement.)
Rota: The little one isn't so little anymore, eh? We can start gathering everything for their saddle next.
Rota: You find me all the pieces, and I'll make you a real nice one. A real nice one.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, I need to leave.

While working on the Turtle Unlock: Suiting Up achievement
Come back when you've gotten everything I've asked for. For the sake of the little one.
Talk more option tango.png What's the saddle going to do for me?
It'll let you ride this big, shelled oaf! Who doesn't want to do that?
Talk end option tango.png That makes sense. Good-bye.
Talk end option tango.png I have to leave.
After completing the Turtle Unlock: Suiting Up achievement
Looks like that's everything. One saddle coming up.
Talk collection option.png What's next? (Completes the eight step of the Stomping Around achievement and unlocks the Siege Turtle.)
Nothing. Here's your saddle. All you need to do is keep your turtle safe, and it will be your best companion. Bar none.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, I need to leave.
Rota: All grown up.
Rota: Raising the turtles is a proud Luxon tradition. Needs to be done right. With respect, patience. Love.
Rota: All that work has earned you a lifelong partner. Take good care of them, got it?
Talk end option tango.png I have to leave.
After unlocking the Siege Turtle
You did a fantastic job, and your turtle looks great. Thank you for letting me be a part of their early life journey. It's always a joy to see them grow.
Talk end option tango.png It was my pleasure. Thank you.
