Dialogue[edit]
- Entrance
- Scarlet Briar: Don't turn around!
- After hallucinations are killed at the entrance
- Marjory Delaqua: I'm so glad that's over. They were hallucinations? You're sure.
- Kasmeer Meade: I'm sure. Somebody—I'll call her Scarlet—was messing with our minds.
- Marjory Delaqua: Okay. Then let's figure out what she's up up here and put an end to it.
- Talking to Marjory
- This nightmare just goes on and on, doesn't it?
- (If your armor is damaged)
- Can you fix my armor?
- There you go. Good as new.
- That won't be a problem. Thanks.
- Let's put an end to it.
- Approaching first room
- Scarlet Briar: Run for your life!
- Veteran Toxic Baron: Our serpentine friends are working themselves into quite a frenzy.
- Toxic Baroness: As long as they believe we're incarnating one of their true prophets, they'll die to protect it.
- Toxic Baroness: It's a pity that Scarlet didn't stay to witness the realization of her vision.
- Veteran Toxic Baron: I was skeptical, but I see now that our alliance has borne wondrous fruit.
- Defeat Scarlet's twisted watchworks
- Scarlet Briar: My pretty, pretty abominations. Maybe I'll remake you too, in watchwork, after you're dead.
- After success
- Marjory Delaqua: (huff) Okay, we can do this. Stick close to me.
- Kasmeer Meade: One step at a time.
- Approaching second room
- Scarlet Briar: I'm in your mind, playing with your thoughts.
- Scarlet Briar: Don't be discouraged, darling. You can't help being inferior.
- Second room (Dispel Scarlet's hallucinations)
- Scarlet Briar: My Aetherblades will cut you to pieces this time.
- After success
- Kasmeer Meade: Ow! Oh, fudge, that hurt.
- Marjory Delaqua: What's the matter? Are you okay?
- Kasmeer Meade: It's just a thorn. I'll be okay. Keep moving.
- Approaching third room
- Scarlet Briar: Are you afraid? You should be.
- Scarlet Briar: Don't look behind you.
- Third room (Dispel Scarlet's hallucinations)
- Scarlet Briar: Burny skin blisters, fat sizzling. Ooh, is it time for breakfast yet?
- After success
- Marjory Delaqua: Are we sure we're still not hallucinating?
- Kasmeer Meade: I'm real, if that's what you're asking.
- Marjory Delaqua: OK.
- Approaching final room
- Scarlet Briar: Why won't you just give up?
- Scarlet Briar: Your friends are all dead. You can thank me later.
- Marjory Delaqua: We must be almost there. The air is growing thicker.
- Kasmeer Meade: SHE better be up here too, or I'm going to be disappointed.
- Entering the final room
- Toxic Baroness: Oh! Look who's arrived just in time to bear witness to our moment of triumph.
- Veteran Toxic Oratuss: No! Infidels must not be allowed in the presence of our prophet!
- Toxic Baron: Now, no need to be rude. Don't you imagine your prophet is up to this pathetic challenge?
- Veteran Toxic Oratuss: Kill the infidels!
- After the trio is killed, Scarlet appears
- Scarlet Briar: Pay no attention to the cutie in the corner! Far be it from me to interrupt your big scene.
- Cinematic
- Scarlet Briar: On the other hand, nothing wrong with a little anticipation. We've been having so much fun, haven't we? Ah, the memories.
- Scarlet Briar: No one even noticed the strings on my Flame Legion and dredge puppets. Yay, me! And I made them dance so pretty.
- Scarlet Briar: Although, I suppose I did go a bit cuckoo with my crew...and krewe. (chuckles) Lion's Arch'll be talking about that hoo-ha...oh...generations!
- Scarlet Briar: But! My favorite performance to date was Queen's Jubilee. Ah, sigh. I do miss the charming Lord Faren...and his fancy panties.
- Scarlet Briar: I should tell you, by the way: I'm done here. This extravaganza couldn't have turned out better if you'd tried. But don't be sad. You'll see me again.
- Scarlet Briar: Just not before I see you. (laughs)
- Scarlet Briar: The krait Oratussssss are expecting a visit from their god. I wore my best ribbonssss for the ocassion.
- Defeat the toxic hybrid
- Marjory Delaqua: I believe this calls for lethal force.
- Kasmeer Meade: Hic!
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: (shriek)
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: I will not be destroyed by such as you. (At 75% health)
- Toxic Bulwark: We've done it. Oh look what we've made.
- Toxic Damoss: At last!
- Marjory Delaqua: I'll be damned if it isn't learning as it goes. (Toxic Hybrid at 50% health)
- Kasmeer Meade: No, thank you.
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: No! I cannot be the last of my kind. (At 25% health)
- Toxic Bulwark: No! You mustn't!
- Toxic Nimross: No! No!
- Toxic Assassin: You die in agony for this.
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: (roar) (dying)
- Repeated during the fight
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: I am aware.
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: I am awake.
- Champion Toxic Hybrid: I see you.
- After killing the hybrid
- Marjory Delaqua: Now I've seen everything.
- Marjory Delaqua beckons to <Character name>.
- Kasmeer Meade beckons to <Character name>.
- After completion
- Marjory Delaqua: That'll do the trick.
- Kasmeer Meade: We were amazing.
Notes[edit]
- The Blighted Thorn needed to start this vision can be found near the Auld Red Wharf POI in Kessex Hills
- In the initial release, the final room had a portal leading to Kessex Hills atop of the Tower of Nightmares, where players could get the Tower of Nightmares Diver achievement.
- In the initial release, there were two versions of the instance, separating the first playthrough and subsequent playthroughs. The differences in subsequent instances were:
- Kasmeer and Marjory were removed as allies.
- Dialogue that wasn't from the Scarlet hallucinations or Toxic Hybrid only played in the first playthrough.
- The cinematic only played in the first playthrough, though could be re-experienced through a machine in the final room in subsequent completions.
