Dialogue[edit]
- Ten minutes before event begins
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention, ward. Preliminary signs of...multiple rift anomalies. Possible equipment malfunction...
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Never seen preliminary data show simultaneous interdimensional erosion on this scale.
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: I'm running diagnostics, but we should move to readiness level one. Finish all current tasks and prepare for incursion.
- Start of event
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Incursions imminent! Rift warnings...everywhere! Astral Ward, report to your bastions!
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Head to your designated— Spirits... Over the spire... What...what is that?
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: One thing at a time. All available ward, to your bastions immediately! Search and seal! Close those rifts!
- Heading to the Spire's Heart before summons are completed
- Dagda: It'll ravage your mind if you stay up here. Return to a summoning platform before it drives you mad!
- Fighting the tentacle rift at the Bastion of Strength
- Galrath the Undying: Down anything that comes out of that portal. Save your mercy for something that deserves it.
- Galrath the Undying: And watch your footing. If that tentacle catches you off guard... That eye is watching every one of your movements.
- Galrath the Undying: Use the spells from the grimoire—should fray their armor to grime.
- When the tentacle becomes vulnerable.
- Galrath the Undying: Steady—steady. Now, let's try to focus on the tentacle.
- When the High Kryptis appears through the Rift.
- Galrath the Undying: Why aren't our attacks working? The big one must be protecting the tentacle. Oh, Riddik, I should have stayed...
- Galrath the Undying: Take it down and we can cut through to the main event after.
- When getting hit by the eyeball's laser beam.
- Galrath the Undying: The Eye watches. Beware its beam!
- When the champion Kryptis is defeated and the tentacle is vulnerable again.
- Galrath the Undying: Cut it down or we're going to lose more Astral Ward to this petty feud.
- When the Rift is ready to be closed
- Galrath the Undying: Seal it. For good.
- Galrath the Undying: Zizel, you'd better be safe...
- After completing the event
- Galrath the Undying: We've walked away with our limbs intact. I've seen easier fights go much, much worse.
- Fighting the tentacle rift at the Bastion of the Obscure
- Researcher Lezzi: Rifles required! Concentrate your fire, or we'll never get our hands on that tentacle!
- When the tentacle becomes vulnerable.
- Researcher Lezzi: Ooh, yes, Kryptis dead, wonderful. Perhaps now we can afford a closer look at the tentacle!
- Peitha: Often, mortals are too foolish to be scared. Too intelligent to be scared... That is a twist.
- When the High Kryptis appears through the Rift.
- Researcher Lezzi: High Kryptis. It's undoubtedly here to guard the tentacle. And exterminate us. How annoying.
- Researcher Lezzi: It'll simply need to be destroyed if I'm to study this beast. So be it.
- When stepping in a damage puddle.
- Researcher Lezzi: That doesn't look friendly. Find a safe space!
- When the champion Kryptis is defeated and the tentacle is vulnerable again.
- Researcher Lezzi: Now that that's out of the way, let's engage directly with the subject. I can't wait to view its innards!
- When the Rift is ready to be closed
- Researcher Lezzi: Close that rift! A shame to seal something so exquisite, but I can't work if I'm deceased.
- After completing the event
- Researcher Lezzi: (sighs) Well done. I'd hoped to examine its entrails, but it seems that's not possible. Yet.
- Researcher Lezzi: Perhaps if we defeat the beat, I can portal to Nayos, find its corpse... I need to think. Please, continue without me.
- Fighting the tentacle rift at the Bastion of Balance
- Lyhr: Ignore that tentacle as best you can. Those demons must be destroyed at all costs, above and below. Use your skyscale!
- When the tentacle becomes vulnerable.
- Lyhr: Now, the tentacle. Hurry! All hangs in the balance.
- Lyhr: Death is on our doorstep. We'll need every advantage to win this battle.
- When the High Kryptis appears through the Rift.
- Lyhr: Eparch must have sent that avatar to protect the tentacle.
- Lyhr: Meet that High Kryptis head-on—we can't afford any delay!
- When getting hit by a Kryptis turret.
- Lyhr: Watch for aerial threats. See one, take to the sky and engage.
- When the champion Kryptis is defeated and the tentacle is vulnerable again.
- Lyhr: Focus on the tentacle! We have a chance if we don't let up!
- When the Rift is ready to be closed
- Lyhr: Seal that rift. Give them no second chances!
- Lyhr: It all comes down to this! We act or we die.
- After completing the event
- Lyhr: It's done? It's done! For now. Settle down. Take a breath.
- Lyhr: We've beaten the odds. Done Mabon proud. I need a moment, please. Press the advantage if you can.
- Fighting the tentacle rift at the Bastion of the Natural
- Forro: Quick, throw those concoctions! Hesitance will not help us!
- When the tentacle becomes vulnerable.
- Forro: Their footsteps are growing less. Now we focus on the moving mass.
- When the High Kryptis appears through the Rift.
- Forro: That smell... What happened? Are there more?
- Coconut: (snarls)
- Forro: Focus on the new beast.
- When getting hit by the eyeball's laser beam.
- Forro: Meteors incoming. Watch the skies!
- When the champion Kryptis is defeated and the tentacle is vulnerable again.
- Forro: The tentacle, focus your attacks again. Before another breaks through!
- When the Rift is ready to be closed
- Forro: You should be able to seal the rift now. Go.
- After completing the event
- Forro: The air is calm again... But the beast writhes throughout the bastions. We must aid the others.
- Fighting the tentacle rift at the Bastion of the Celestial
- Dagda: Eparch's creature... We face a great threat. Fight with me.
- Dagda: Too many Kryptis. We must strike them first. Then we stand against the tentacle.
- Dagda: Stay out of its way and destroy them.
- When the tentacle becomes vulnerable.
- Dagda: Turn your attention to the tentacle. Twisted creature...
- Dagda: Does it slaughter us knowingly? Willingly? No matter. It must be stopped.
- When the High Kryptis appears through the Rift.
- Dagda: A new foe. It guards the tentacle. Destroy it!'
- Dagda: Do you hear me, avatar? Tell your master, we will not relent!
- Dagda: Avert your eyes!
- When getting marked for death.
- Dagda: Dash away! Outrun death!
- When the champion Kryptis is defeated and the tentacle is vulnerable again.
- Dagda: The tentacle. Crush it. Send Eparch a message!
- When the Rift is ready to be closed
- Dagda: The Heart of the Obscure. Seal the rift. Quickly! Close the way!
- Fighting the tentacle rift at the Bastion of Knowledge
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Faraway demons. Now close. The rifts. Invading our home. Like it invades my thoughts. But no. No!
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: I waver no longer. It aims to penetrate my mind, but my mind is mine! I've read the books! I will control my enemies!
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Concentrate on the Kryptis. Evade the tentacle. I will interrogate...myself. The demon. In my head.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Names have power, parasite. I name you...Louse. Tell me your secrets, Louse. Quieter. Less screaming.
- Peitha: They hold one of my people at bay in their mind? Separate? Or...who possesses whom, here? Curious...
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Use the ward breaker. Tear its armor away—ah, Louse hates that idea! (laughs) Now you want quiet? (laughs louder)
- When the tentacle becomes vulnerable.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Attack the limb, now. Louse's ravings suggest we'll draw the atten— You're giving me a headache!
- When the High Kryptis appears through the Rift.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: A High Kryptis. You told me so? You gloat? A gloating Louse in my head?
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Get out. Get out! Kill the High Kryptis. Get out of my head!
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Louse howls of orbs and impending doom. We'd best destroy those.
- When the champion Kryptis is defeated and the tentacle is vulnerable again.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: The tentacle is weak, now—FOUL MORTALS, ANY HARM TO LORD EPARCH'S FAVORED—(grunts) now, now...
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Victory is close. Louse fights for control of my mind. Like a cornered...louse.
- When the Rift is ready to be closed
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Your device. Close the rift. Close the rift. Close. The. Rift.
- After completing the event
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: We did it. Who's gloating now? I need... I need...something for this INFERNAL headache!
- Upon closing all six tentacle rifts
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention, ward. Report to the landing immediately for a strategy briefing.
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Those injured or assisting the injured make your way to the infirmary at the Bastion of the Natural.
- Astral ward members begin to convene for the strategy briefing.
- Frode: We've done well to hold them off. But if we're going to force them out, we have no choice...
- Gol: Remain calm. Remove emotion. Focus on the task at hand. Only then can we overcome.
- Captain Emund: Judging by the look of you all, I'm not the only one who nearly died back there. Hm. Is that discouraging or reassuring?
- R'tchikk: Friends! It is a great relief to see all of your faces. R'tchikk feared the worst.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: So many of you, still fighting. The happiness in my heart nearly drowns out the screaming in my head.
- Head Cartographer Pavish: I told them not to test us! Wait...is there more fighting to do?
- Once everyone is gathered for the strategy briefing.
- Dagda: Attention, ward! Damaging the tentacles is hurting the creature. But I'm afraid it may not be enough.
- Frode: We're out of options, Dagda. It has to be Mosaic Wrath. We have to summon the guardians.
- R'tchikk: The power the guardians consume—decades to build, minutes to deplete...
- Dagda: We only get one chance at Operation Mosaic Wrath; if we summon them now, we'll be vulnerable, even if we're victorious.
- Frode: Better vulnerable than defeated. I only hope we're not too late already. Can you and Lyhr buy us the time?
- Lyhr: Either we do or we're all dead.
- Random
- Dagda: Death is a luxury we can't afford. If the guardians are spent, the ward's all that stands between the Kryptis and Tyria.
- Dagda: And there are fates worse than death.
- Random
- Livia: There's a parasitic subspecies called a Puppeteer Ooze that can enter the skull through any open orifice—
- Gol: One could posit that "good" and "bad" do not apply to life and death. Given our current situation, the tranquility of—
- Zizel: Sadly true. An apprentice once brewed a tincture with weevil secretions rather than beetle. Has phantom tongue pain now—
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Multiple rift warnings! Breeches imminent on upper platforms!
- Dagda: You're right, Frode. Lyhr and I will distract the beast from above. Do we have the numbers to support the summoners?
- Frode: As a shrewd wizard once told me, "Either we do or we're all dead."
- Dagda: The north platform is compromised. Frode, Gol, take the east platform. R'tchikk and Vanak, west. Livia, Zizel, south.
- Dagda: Remaining Astral Ward, return to your posts on the bastions or assist the injured.
- Dagda: Survive, and we few will know you are heroes. Die, and all of Tyria will know of our failure. Go!
- Zizel while summoning the Guardian of the Natural
- Zizel: This place will suffice. Will have to. They're coming. I feel it. (deep breath) Have you ever summoned a guardian?
- Zizel: In the thick of it again, aren't we? Those Kryptis... Their bellies are full with our energy, our emotions.
- Zizel: Defeat them. Take that energy back. Return it to me. And keep me safe!
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Zizel: The summoning spell—it's half finished. The slow half, I hope. More energy!
- After completing the summoning.
- Zizel: Haha! We've retaken what was stolen from us to use against them...again. Poetic. If it works. To the spire!
- R'tchikk while summoning the Guardian of Knowledge
- R'tchikk: Skritt summons. The spell needs energy. Emotion. Kryptis feed on emotion. Take the emotion back!
- R'tchikk: Bring the energy to R'tchikk. R'tchikk will give it to the guardian while the wayfinder protects. It's our only chance!
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- R'tchikk: So much energy! Yet the guardian is only half summoned...Please don't quit on R'tchikk!
- After completing the summoning.
- R'tchikk: The guardian arrives! Ah, a sight for R'tchikk's weary eyes! To the top of the spire, gigantic friend.
- Gol while summoning the Guardian of Balance
- Gol: This summon will require my full concentration. If the Kryptis are the storm, I must remain the eye. Prepare yourself...
- Gol: This spell...difficult to maintain. I may need your protection to do so. The Kryptis...
- Gol: They've consumed our emotions. Destroy them. Reclaim our emotional energy. I can harness it to power the spell.
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Gol: Yes. The energy wave builds. The summoning, half complete. Gather more, return it to me...
- After completing the summoning.
- Gol: That's it! The wave has crested! The summon is complete! Now, to the top of the spire.
- After the first three guardians have been summoned
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir The spire's under direct attack! Divide forces—skyscales, defend the spire; ground troops, engage the head!
- Upon the Maw becoming vulnerable
- Dagda: Now concentrate on its maw—we have to break its hold!
- Upon the Maw reaching half health
- Dagda: It invades our thoughts again. Lyhr and I can withstand this, but you must flee before it tears your mind apart.
- Livia whiles ummoning the Guardian of the Obscure
- Livia: I knew you'd make another appearance. Prepare to do what we do best: disappoint our enemies.
- Livia: I've begun summoning the guardian. This spell requires incredible energy, so I may need you to watch my back.
- Livia: These Kryptis have fed on our emotions—kill them, collect that energy, and add its power to my spell!
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Livia: We've collected half the energy we need. We didn't come here to watch each other die—collect more!
- After completing the summoning.
- Livia: Summon complete! Naturally. We never fail to impress, do we?
- Vanak Faithwalker while summoning the Guardian of Strength
- Vanak Faithwalker: Another chance to sway our fates. Let's not squander it. I'll handle the summoning. You handle the demons.
- Vanak Faithwalker: Spell requires a lot of energy. Not just mine—we'll need some of the energy the Kryptis fed on.
- Vanak Faithwalker: Take them down, collect the emotional energy, bring it to me. I'll channel it into this summoning while you guard me.
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Vanak Faithwalker: That's half of it. Long way to go. Don't slow down. Never let up.
- After completing the summoning.
- Vanak Faithwalker: Yes. That's done it. Now...No rest for the living. Or the summoned.
- Frode while summoning the Guardian of the Celestial
- Frode: Now it's us. Can't let the ward down. Keep the demons off me as best you can, and I'll do my part.
- Frode: The emotions they've taken from us... Take them back. Bring them here to power the summoning.
- Frode: (groans) The quicker the better. And if they come after me, I'll need you to guard me.
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Frode: That's half of it. Hurry. Not sure...I can keep this up.
- After completing the summoning.
- Frode: (breathing hard) Good. Good. Now for the real fight. On the spire.
- After all six guardians have been summoned
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Defend the spire. Skyscales, take to the air and intercept. The rest of you keep fighting the head!
- Dagda: Again. Focus on the tentacles!
- Dagda: Use the powers of the remaining guardians! Keep the pressure on!
- Once Nourys's Maw has been defeated
- Dagda: Do as I do, and together we can deal the final blow.
- Once Dagda completes her ritual
- Dagda: That's it! The guardians are combined! Attack with their full strength!
- Dagda: No. No! It's not enough. On your skyscales! I will imbue them with power.
- Dagda: We need to break the beast's concentration. Get in the air and attack those eyes!
- If player is outside of the event area during the Nourys fight
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention! Operation Mosaic Wrath underway! Report to Dagda on top of the spire! Go! Go!
- Upon success
- Lyhr: Amnytas is ours, demons. OURS!
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Threats eliminated. Kryptis in retreat! You did it, ward! You did it!
- Upon failure
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: The spire is overwhelmed! Fight your way to safety! Escape if you— YOU'RE NOT TAKING ME WITHOUT A FIGHT!
- After event success, with Dagda and Lyhr
- Dagda: We actually pushed that thing back. We can't let our guard down, and who knows what Eparch will throw at us next ... But we did it.
- It was a group effort.
- Lyhr: It was. You, me, Dagda, the entire Astral Ward_including everyone we've lost. We all played a part in this victory. Dagda be right about Eparch ... but let's savor this.
- Mabon would be proud.
- Dagda: Indeed. Of all of us. Thank you, Wayfinder. Just ... please, don't ask me to do that again for a while. A LONG while.
- Understood.
- We'll be there to take whatever Eparch can throw at us head-on. Together.
- We did it.
- With R'tchikk, Gladium, and Vanak Faithwalker
- R'tchikk: R'tchikk saw the commander_I mean the wayfinder_do the big punches! The wayfinder's skyscale poked ALL of the monsters eyes out! R'tchikk could hear them POP from the Wizard's Tower!
- That's...disturbing to know. But thank you for your help, R'tchikk.
- Gladium: (gestures)
- (You get thes sense that Gladium is apologizing for R'tchikk's impulsive comment, but she understands why R'tchikk is so happy.)
- I think I understand. And I agree, It was quite a victory today.
- (Smile and wave good-bye.)
- I... Thanks.
- With Uenno and Frode
- Uenno: It wasn't easy... Yet I'm not sure we could've asked for much better, all things considered. Wayfinder, thank you.
- Eparch's still out there...
- Frode: (sighs) You're right. But now that we have a moment to breathe... Maybe I can take a little time to process losing Arina.
- Keep your hopes held high, Frode. Tomorrow's a new day.
- I'm glad I was able to help.
- With Head Cartographer Pavish, Forro, and Coconut
- Forro: Wayfinder. I thank you. All the creatures of Amnytas thank you.
- We all did our parts.
- Coconut: (purrs)
- Aw, thanks, Coconut. You fought bravely.
- Head Cartographer Pavish: Have to admit, even I got a little scared toward the end there. Those huge tentacles waving around, eyeballs shooting all manner of... What is that noise? She's not going to bite me, is she?
- Only if you show fear.
- Rest up, friends.
- You're welcome.
- With Narcisse, Yasko Ironquill, and Captain Emund
- Narcisse: What a battle! You're looking well, all things considered. Are you hurt? Or are you too stoic to admit it? Like those two.
- Probably.
- Captain Emund: Heh. Felt good to get out there and do something. Glad it's over for now, though. I'll admit my arm was getting sore...
- You fought well. All of you.
- Yasko Ironquill: We've dealt a blow to Eparch's forces, that's for certain. If only we had all the strength to counter— Ow! Narcisse, I might need a bit of healing after all...
- Heal up while you can...
- Narcisse probably has something for that.
- I'm fine, thanks.
- With Head Archivist Wavering Heart, Researcher Lezzi and Zizel
- Zizel: Our feats today, Wayfinder... A turning point, perhaps? Auspicious. Beautiful. Worthy of song.
- Beautiful, indeed.
- Researcher Lezzi: A shame I wasn't able to dissect the creature, though. Speaking of beauty, the rifts it created... So many at once... Those were true works of art.
- I wonder if it survived.
- Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Mmm. As does Louse. Perhaps we turn the tables, demon? Perhaps we invade YOUR home next, hmm?
- Let's hope it doesn't come to that...
- I'll hav to take your word for it.
- Well fought, everyone.
- With Livia, Gol, and Galrath the Undying
- Livia: It seems that you're the hero of the day yet again, Wayfinder. Just like old times, no?
- It's what we do as part of the Shining Blade.
- Galrath the Undying: BAH! That lot don't know what the world's really about. Livia does. I do. Live for hundreds of years, and you learn a lot.
- Still plenty of secrets out there, aren't there?
- Gol: More than can ever be known. But we must strive to learn something new every day, with the hope that knowledge brings us closer to ending Eparch's reign of terror.
- Wise words.
- I'll...get right on that.
- Excellent work.
