Dialogue
Quest DescriptionAfter unlocking the stone lock in Sumeru, and defeating the monsters trapped in the seal, you will be entrusted by Aranara to defeat other sealed monsters.
- (After breaking the Stone Pillar Seal where Aradashan is at)
- ???: Oh no, the stone lock is gone!
- ???: Who could have broken the lock? Could it be the Big Iron Chunk?
- Paimon: It's an Aranara...
- ???: Eh? The Golden Nara and the silver bird can see Aradashan?
- Paimon: Paimon is not a silver bird! And gold... Well, this is (Traveler).
- Aradashan: Okay, Aradashan gets it. It's Nara (Traveler) and Paimon. Aradashan's name is Aradashan.
- Aradashan: Hmmm... You're a Golden Nara, with the same Golden hair as Nara Varuna, with the warm scent of a sun-kissed leaf...
- Aradashan: Oh, but now is not the time to make friends. The stone lock... Did you see who broke it, Nara (Traveler) and Paimon!?
- Paimon: The stone lock is probably what we just opened...
We did indeed break it...- Aradashan: No, so Nara (Traveler) was the one breaking the lock...? Aradashan thought the Big Iron Chunks escaped on their own!
- Aradashan: The stone lock is gone! The Big Iron Chunk is coming out!
- Aradashan: You should hide, Nara (Traveler) and Paimon! Big Iron Chunks are big and hard, some even shoot fire out of their eyes! Very dangerous!
- Paimon: Do you mean the monster trapped inside? We've dealt with it already.
- Aradashan: Really? So the Big Iron Chunk was destroyed? Great news! Aradashan was about to shed leaves at the thought of them pouring out!
- Aradashan: So Nara (Traveler) and Paimon took down the Big Iron Chunk here?
- Paimon: We've taken loads of monsters like them down in the past!
- It's routine for us now.
- Have you really helped in any combat?
- Paimon: Hehe, Paimon knows just where to hide!
- Aradashan: Aradashan didn't expect Nara (Traveler) to be so powerful. Uh, can Nara (Traveler) help...?
- Paimon: Could it be related to the stone locks?
- Aradashan: So smart, Paimon! Aradashan is somewhat a bit surprised...
- Paimon: What is there to be surprised about!?
- Aradashan: Hehe, yes, it is related to the stone locks.
- Aradashan: There are sixteen stone locks in total in the forest with Big Iron Chunks inside... Can (Traveler) defeat them?
- (If all 16 stone locks have been broken)
-
- Only 16? We've dealt with it.
- Aradashan: Oh! Nara (Traveler) and Paimon are so amazing! Now Aradashan knows why the air and ground in the forest have become cleaner.
- Aradashan: Wait for Aradashan! Aradashan is going to get the friends!
- Paimon: Friends?
- Paimon: Woah! So many Aranara appeared out of nowhere...
- (Dialogue skips to the Aranara introduction)
- (If there are still stone locks to break)
-
- Of course.
- If we see them.
- Aradashan: Oh, Nara (Traveler) is such a nice Nara. Aradashan thanks Nara (Traveler) from the bottom of Aradashan's heart!
- Aradashan: Come see Aradashan once you've beaten all the Big Iron Chunks!
- Aradashan: If you could beat all the Big Iron Chunks, you must also be able to...
- Paimon: ?
- Aradashan: Heh, Aradashan will save that for when Nara (Traveler) comes back!
Step DescriptionAll sixteen ruins mechanisms sealed by "stone lock" have been eliminated. There may be some other "surprises" waiting in the cave where we met Aradashan.
- (After breaking the last stone lock, if the player spoke to Aradashan before breaking them all)
- Paimon: Yeah? This seems to be the sixteenth! Now, the monsters sealed by the "stone lock" should all be defeated!
- Paimon: Let's go find Ara... That Aranara.
- (Approach Aradashan and the other Aranara)
- Aradashan: Hey, it is indeed you two, Nara (Traveler) and Paimon!
- Paimon: Yeah, we beat all the monsters that were locked up by the stones!
- Aradashan: Heh, Aradashan believed Nara (Traveler) and Paimon could do that for sure!
- Aradashan: See, this is the Nara (Traveler) whom Aradashan mentioned.
- Paimon: More Aranara names! Aradashan, Arasata, Arasaha, and...
- Arayuta: Arayuta! My name is Arayuta!
- Paimon: Okay, Paimon's got it, Arayuta!
- Arayuta: Paimon knows my name now. I'm so happy!
- Arasata: Hello... I am Arasata.
- Arasaha: ...Arasaha.
- (If not all stone locks were broken beforehand)
-
- Hello.
- (If all stone locks were already broken)
-
- Greetings.
- Paimon: Aradashan, you told us to come see you after we're done with all the Big Iron Chunks... What for?
- Aradashan: Oh, it goes way, way back...
- Aradashan: Several hundred cycles of trees ago, the iron monsters appeared. Some were big iron Nara, some were legless big iron Nara.
- Aradashan: The monsters were as tall as mountains, spewing light as bright as fire. They made the forests weep and bushes wail in the howling fire.
- Paimon: You mean the Big Iron Chunks?
- (If not all stone locks were broken beforehand)
-
- Aradashan: Yes.
- (If all stone locks were already broken)
-
- Aradashan: That's more or less correct...
- Arayuta: Let me tell the story from that point on. I like the rest part of the story.
- Arayuta: When things were at their most perilous, the great Aradasha emerged.
- Arayuta: The great Aradasha defeated many, many Big Iron Chunks with Ararakalari and locked them up with stone locks.
- Arayuta: Just like that, the great Aradasha restored peace to much foliage, allowing Nara and Aranara to rest in the forest at night.
- Paimon: So, all the Ruin Graders and Ruin Drakes and stuff from the stone locks we unlocked were defeated and confined by Aradasha!?
- Arayuta: Yeah, Aradasha was super powerful, taking on all those Big Iron Chunks like that! Aradasha stories are my favorites!
- Paimon: But if the Big Iron Chunks that Aradasha put away have been defeated by (Traveler), why did you want us to come here?
- Arasata: Well... Aradasha locked the Big Iron Chunks away, but even the hardest earth erodes and crumbles in time...
- Arasata: Same as the stone locks. They crack and fracture until they become Valuka.
- (If not all stone locks were broken beforehand)
-
- Arasata: Then the Big Iron Chunks can shrug off the stone locks to bring doom to the forests. So, we must guard the locks.
- (If all stone locks were already broken)
-
- Arasata: Then the Big Iron Chunks can shrug off the stone locks to bring doom to the woods. So, we must guard the locks.
- Aradashan: But it would be bad if we should miss any loose locks, so Aradashan, Arasata, Arasaha, and Arayuta must become more powerful.
- Aradashan: If we could defeat them with Ararakalari like Arabalika can, we wouldn't have to worry about the stone locks turning into Valuka.
- Paimon: So you wanted to beat the Big Iron Chunks yourselves...
- Paimon: Uh... How did that become our problem?
- Aradashan: Uh, we can't defeat the Big Iron Chunks right now, so if we released them from those stone locks just like that...
- That would indeed be very dangerous.
- The consequences would be unimaginable.
- Aradashan: But Nara (Traveler) is powerful and can defeat the Big Iron Chunks. With Nara (Traveler)'s help, we can beat the mighty Bulky Iron Chunk!
- Paimon: So you called us here to deal with the Bulky Iron Chunk?
- Aradashan: Bulky Iron Chunk is mightier than Big Iron Chunk. We could only contain it with our Ararakalari.
- Aradashan: So when Aradashan saw Nara (Traveler) defeat Big Iron Chunks, Aradashan thought Nara (Traveler) could defeat Bulky Chunk.
- Aradashan: So Aradashan would like to ask Nara (Traveler) for another favor...
- Whatever kind of iron chunk it is.
- I'll help.
- Aradashan: Oh, Nara (Traveler) is such a nice Nara!
- Arayuta: Nara (Traveler) glows as bright as gold, just like Nara Varuna did in the tales!
- Arasata: Nara (Traveler) is so helpful, like the rain in a drought!
- Arasaha: Thank you.
- Paimon: But you said that the Bulky Iron Chunk is under a lake, right? So, how will we get there?
- Aradashan: It's okay. We just need to lower the water level and make a passage!
- Aradashan: Please wait a while, Nara (Traveler), and we'll see you in the lake.
- (The lake is drained of its water)
- (Approach the seal's location at the bottom of the lake)
- Paimon: So this is the Bulky Iron Chunk.
- Paimon: Since the Big Iron Chunks are Ruin Graders, Ruin Drakes, and the likes... It's no surprise that the Bulky Iron Chunk was actually a Perpetual Mechanical Array...
- Arayuta: Strange. Why do you call the Bulky Iron Chunk "Perlulu Manacle Array"?
- Paimon: Oh, the name will fit pretty soon... But we'll stick to calling it Bulky Iron Chunk for now.
- Arayuta: Bulky Iron Chunk!
- Arasata: The Bulky Iron Chunk can fly and crash down like a meteor. Be careful, Nara (Traveler).
- Arasaha: ...Be careful.
- Aradashan: We'll help you by using our Ararakalari, Nara (Traveler)!
- Aradashan: Release the Bulky Iron Chunk when you're ready!
Step DescriptionHelp Aradashan defeat the "Bulky Iron Chunk" beneath the lake.
- (Talk to Arasaha, optional)
- Arasaha: I don't speak to Nara often.
- Arasaha: Thank you, nice Nara.
- (Talk to Aradashan, optional)
- Aradashan: You're very powerful, Nara (Traveler). We'll defeat the Bulky Iron Chunk for sure!
- (Talk to Arasata, optional)
- Arasata: It is said the Bulky Iron Chunk has many forms and can turn into many Big Iron Chunks.
- Arasata: But it will be vulnerable once you beat any of its key parts, so watch carefully, Nara (Traveler).
- (Talk to Arayuta, optional)
- Arayuta: Will we defeat the Bulky Iron Chunk? It is a terrible monster as told in the legends... Uhhh...
- (After defeating the "Bulky Iron Chunk")
- Aradashan: Whoa, Aradashan didn't think that the Bulky Iron Chunk would still be so strong after we used Ararakalari.
- Aradashan: Even if our Ararakalari could defeat Big Iron Chunks, we wouldn't be able to handle the Bulky Iron Chunk.
- Aradashan: If Nara (Traveler) hadn't been here...
- Paimon: It's okay, since the Perpetual Mechanical Array... Uh, Bulky Iron Chunk is defeated, there will be no more iron monsters in the forests!
- Yeah, you can rest assured now.
- Arasaha: ...No.
- Arasaha: ...Must rely on ourselves.
- Arasata: Arasaha is right. Seeing Nara (Traveler) fighting the Bulky Iron Chunk had us in awe.
- Arayuta: There is still a long way to go before catching up with the great Aradasha.
- Arayuta: We must train harder, so we can be heroes like Aradasha in the next crisis!
- Aradashan: We must fight the imaginary Bulky Iron Chunk in our dream!
- Paimon: Go for it!
- I know you'll get there.
- Aradashan: When you want to, Nara (Traveler), just sing the Rhythm of the Great Dream like when you entered Vanarana.
- Aradashan: Then you can join and share our dream of the Bulky Iron Chunk.
- Paimon: Somehow that sounds more like a nightmare...
- Do you dream about fighting, Paimon?
- Paimon: Paimon doesn't want to dream about fighting! Paimon only wants to dream about eating delicious food!
- It's not dangerous in dreams.
- Paimon: True, it's their dream, after all. The Perpetual Mechanical Array won't be real and we won't get hurt.
- Aradashan: Aradashan will go train in dreams with Arasata, Arayuta, and Arasaha now!
- Arasata: As a sign of my gratitude, Nara (Traveler), I shall remember you with the first ray of dawn.
- Arayuta: Nara (Traveler), is as great as Nara Varuna!
- Arasaha: ...You will not be forgotten.
- Aradashan: Yes, let's meet again in the dream later!
