Quest Description

You spot a strange red orb in the Nothing Passage at the northern end of Lempo Isle...

(Interact with the Slightly Aged Notice, optional): Slightly Aged Notice: "By the grace of Her Majesty the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya, and in accordance with the Imperial Edict on the Strengthening of Order, the area ahead is now designated as a Military Administrative Area."; Slightly Aged Notice: "Unauthorized entry is prohibited. Intruders will be regarded as hostile agents engaged in espionage and sabotage, and will be neutralized in accordance with the aforementioned regulations."

(Approach the red circle)

(If Blues of the Old World has not been completed)

Paimon: Huh? (‍‍), look over there! Paimon can see something glowing!

(If Blues of the Old World has been completed)

Paimon: Hey, (‍‍), look! There's a light orb over there, too! But it's a different color from the one we saw before...

(Break open the box with kuuvahki)

(A blue kuuhenki flies out, followed by a red orb)

(If Blues of the Old World has not been completed)

Paimon: Eek! I—It's moving! And it looks like... it's chasing that kuuhenki!?

Paimon: (‍‍), let's go and check it out!

(If Blues of the Old World has been completed)

Paimon: Just as Paimon thought! It's moving, like the blue one we saw before! And it's chasing that kuuhenki... Come on, (‍‍), let's go take a look!

(The kuuhenki passes through a wall, but the red orb cannot follow)

(Interact with the Private's Notes (II), optional)

...Something's not right. Petrenko said he heard a blood-curdling wail in the night — somewhere between the ragged breathing of a vile beast and the dying screams of a wounded man — he swore on the Tsaritsa's name. None of us heard it, not even Elena — who was on watch — but we found strange marks near the camp, as though someone had dragged something through there. Whatever it was, it can't have been alive — no living creature leaves marks like that...

...Captain Volkov suspects Professor Preobrazhensky and his underlings of playing tricks. He got us to set up a bunch more traps around the camp and even activated those defensive robots — the ones that are more valuable than all of us combined. I have no idea how he's going to explain the resource expenditure to his superiors when this is all done, but I'm sure he'll think of something...

...Professor Karnatsky's research seems to be progressing smoothly. He even found time to expound upon one of his discoveries to us rank-and-file soldiers. Up to now, he's only ever referred to us as "dim-witted lackeys." His emaciated face was flushed red behind a shower of spittle, like a dying man gaining one final moment of clarity. There was something unnatural, even detestable, about his expression. He talked about how he had extracted "the purest primal light" from the moon shard and how he would tear open the veil of the world, igniting the first spark for Her Majesty's wishes. I didn't understand what he was saying, so I nodded along and wished him a swift conclusion to his research...

...I asked Captain Volkov if I could be the one to hunt today — I need something to distract me from my thoughts. The temperature these past few days has been unusually cold, and the air is filled with the putrid smell of mold and decay. The goats were abundant when we arrived here, but now it seems they're all in hiding — perhaps our hunts are to blame, or maybe they're sheltering from the cold. Even so, I didn't have to travel far from the camp before I finally found one.

...Found is the only word I can use — it certainly wasn't hunting. By the time I arrived, the goat was standing transfixed, like a deliberately posed corpse, a very ungoatly expression frozen on its face. Its eyes were cloudy and protruding outwards, puffed up like a pair of fish eyes. But it wasn't a corpse — it was alive. Until the moment I cut its chest open, its heart was pumping blood... Until the moment I slit its chest open, my blade plunging into its heart, its foul-smelling blood spraying across the ground, gleaming inky green in the moonlight... Until the moment I opened its chest, it stood there, motionless, its swollen eyes staring into space, unmoved by its impending death, as though even the peace of the grave was not its to own...

...May Her Majesty the Tsaritsa forgive me. I haven't told anyone else what I found — I didn't see any reason to worry them. The goat was delicious as ever — that itself was enough. As soon as Professor Karnatsky is done with his research, we can leave this accursed place behind...

(Touch the red orb)

(The red orb breaks through the wall and enters an inactive Landcruiser, then flies further into the passageway)

Paimon: Wait... did it just run into that mechanism?

(Approach the Landcruiser): Paimon: Wait, wait! We mean you no harm! We're just passing adventurers... Ugh, fine, guess we have to take down the mechanism it's attached to first!

(After defeating the Landcruiser): Paimon: Phew, it's finally over... Hey, calm down now! We're not here to hurt you — maybe we can even help!; Paimon: Hmm? It stopped in front of this box... Could the box's contents be important to it somehow?

(Investigate the container): You check the inside of the container...; Paimon: *cough* *cough* So much dust... Huh. There's nothing inside except these blue stones...; Paimon: Hmm? Hang on a sec. Maybe it's searching for those blue things! If so, could we direct it somewhere else if we move the stones away...?

(Follow the red orb to the recon bot): Paimon: Ugh, it's possessed something again... huh? Wait, it doesn't look right... Could it have been caught by the Fatui's mechanisms?

(Follow the red orb after shooting down the recon bot)

(The red orb floats up to a blue patch of mist)

(If Blues of the Old World has not been started)

Paimon: Huh? (‍‍), look! It just stopped!

Paimon: If it really is a Seelie, then there should be treasure around here, right? But, uhm, Paimon can't see anything...

Paimon: Well, since we're already here, why don't we keep going on a bit? This gorge doesn't look that long anyway, and heading back might actually take more time...

Alright, then I'm counting on the world's best guide.

Paimon: Hehe, no problem! (‍‍), let's get going!

You soon arrive at the other side of the Nothing Passage...

I've got another idea. Just come with me, Paimon.

Paimon: Wherever you go, Paimon's coming with you! Let's get moving!

(Quest ends and Blues of the Old World begins)

(If Blues of the Old World has been started)

Paimon: Huh? (‍‍), look! It just stopped!

Paimon: If it really is a Seelie, then there should be treasure around here, right? But, uhm, Paimon can't see anything...

Paimon: Speaking of which, Paimon does remember seeing a similar-looking light orb on the other side of the gorge, but that one was blue...

Paimon: Let's go take a look over there! Maybe we can finally figure out what these things actually are!

Alright, let's check it out.

You soon arrive at the other side of the Nothing Passage...

Maybe next time...

Paimon: Ooh, Paimon's kinda curious, but it's probably nothing important... right?
