- (Talk to Nahuatlalli before starting the competition, optional)
- Nahuatlalli: Welcome, friend, to the Ayar Heroes' Cup. I'm the organizer.
- Nahuatlalli: Today's the last day of the competition. If you want to claim the crown, you'll need to defeat our top three warriors back to back.
- What is the Ayar Heroes' Cup?
- Nahuatlalli: It's a battle for the glory of Ayar! Use fists, weapons, or any other trick in the book to defeat your opponent!
- And is Ayar a... person, or...?
- Nahuatlalli: My friend, only champions are qualified to ask questions here!
- Nahuatlalli: Get on stage! We'll soon see if you have the strength to earn that respect.
- (Talk to Kahinda before defeating the first challenge, optional)
- Kahinda: I know who you are, friend, but that doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.
- Mwindo: Yeah. Truth be told, we were hoping you'd go easy on us...
- (Talk to Ipacura before defeating the first two challenges, optional)
- Ipacura: (Mister/
Missy), of all the competitors, I'm most curious about you! How about you show me what you're made of?
- (Talk to Tobahaq)
- Tobahaq: Careful, lil' one. You wouldn't want me to snap your arm like a twig!
- I'm here to challenge you.
- Tobahaq: You're welcome to try! Today, you'll taste the fury of Tobahaq's fists!
- (Challenge starts)
- (Talk to Kahinda after defeating the first challenge)
- Mwindo: Is it our turn?
- Kahinda: Even though it's you, we won't hold back.
- I'm here to challenge you.
- Kahinda: Then come!
- (Challenge starts)
- (Talk to Ipacura after defeating the second challenge)
- Ipacura: You've got some real skill to make it this far, (Mister/
Missy). But I'm afraid this ends here! - I'm here to challenge you.
- Ipacura: You're welcome to try! But you should know, I've got backup!
- (Challenge starts)
- (After the cutscene)
- Ipacura: Dendrasha, I choose you!
- (After defeating Dendrasha)
- Ipacura: Oh, blast! Come back, Dendrasha!
- Ipacura: Seems I underestimated you. Pyrasha, Hydrasha, do your best!
- (Talk to Tobahaq, optional)
- Tobahaq: You're surprisingly strong, kiddo. I'm impressed.
- Tobahaq: Anyway, thank you for joining our competition. Not only did you defeat us, you even won against Ipacura.
- Tobahaq: He's happy — he seems to realize we were going easy on him... And we're happy too. It's enough for us that he has a happy summer here.
- (Talk to Kahinda or Mwindo, optional)
- Kahinda: You're (Traveler), right? We're not ashamed to lose to you, since we all know you fought alongside the Pyro Archon.
- Mwindo: Haha, don't be so surprised. Our neighbor's got a photo where he posed with you — he shows it off all the time. It's only natural we'd recognize the real deal.
- Kahinda: Thank you, Tumaini. We're honored to be able to fight against you.
- (Talk to Nahuatlalli, optional)
- Nahuatlalli: Welcome, champion of the Tour of the Return of the Sacred Flame, you have earned our respect.
- Is it not called the Ayar Heroes' Cup?
- Nahuatlalli: Well, you know how it is, people have real names and nicknames, and so do competitions. The Ayar Heroes' Cup is its official name, and the Tour is its nickname — Ipacura likes to call it that.
- Nahuatlalli: Ipacura's parents took part in the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame alongside us. Unfortunately, they fell in battle during the last Abyss invasion.
- Nahuatlalli: That's why Ipacura likes to call this contest the Tour of the Return of the Sacred Flame.
- So where does "Ayar" come from...?
- Nahuatlalli: You might have guessed by now, but his full name is Ipacura Ayar.
- Nahuatlalli: Before his parents passed, they entrusted Ipacura to us. That's why we set up this contest — we like to say it was to give him a happy summer... but the truth is...
- Nahuatlalli: One day, he'll become a hero just like his parents. Isn't that right?
- (Talk to Ipacura, optional)
- Ipacura: (Mister/
Missy), you're crazy strong! You're the strongest warrior I've ever met! - Ipacura: Can I be as strong as you one day? I want to become a true champion of the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame!
- If you work hard, I'm sure you can.
- Ipacura: I'll work hard, just you wait!
