Quest Description

Having heard Eboshi's introduction, you decide that it should be alright to head to the three corners of Enkanomiya to take part in the trials.

(Talk to Eboshi): ???: That I have appeared before you must mean that the Bloodbranch Coral is in Watatsumi's hands. And a most comforting thought that is.; ???: My name is Erebos. In the Inazuman tongue, that would be Eboshi. I am an auxiliary of Sangonomiya, one of the shrine maidens of Enkanomiya.; Eboshi: You must be the hero who obtained the coral, I suppose?; That would be me.; Eboshi: My apologies, but that which I shall shortly speak of is a most complicated matter. In truth, I do not know where to begin.; Paimon: Just start from the start! We'll listen!; Eboshi: You have my gratitude. In that case, allow me to introduce such matters as I may to you. We must begin with Watatsumi Omikami opening the gate to the depths.; Eboshi: The depths of Enkanomiya play host to a natural cave system that leads to Watatsumi Island. This is the paradise that was promised to us by Watatsumi Omikami.; Eboshi: At Omikami's instruction, we learned the culture of Narukami, and we established foreign relations with many different nations.; Eboshi: Narukami Island even knew us as the "beauties of Watatsumi," renowned for our soft skin, which would conceal seven types of skin blemish...; Eboshi: ...This, of course, being mostly a consequence of our ancestors' lack of sunlight in the depths of Enkanomiya...; Uh, could we get to the point?; This feels like old news. Could we get to the point?; Eboshi: Ah, sorry. During the process of establishing foreign relations, I would give guided tours to visitors in my role as a Sangonomiya auxiliary, so I just...; Eboshi: Right. Back to the point. Lady Sangonomiya and I had a disagreement, which resulted in the current arrangement, following Watatsumi Omikami's mediation.; Eboshi: Due to the phenomenon known as Sinshades, the "past," "history," and "truth" of Enkanomiya would endure even if left to their own devices.; Eboshi: As such, great effort was expended, not that we might remember, but that we might "forget." Lady Sangonomiya was of this view.; Paimon: (The Sangonomiya she's talking about must've been from a real long time ago...); Eboshi: The trial to obtain the branch was intended to limit the number of people coming after us who could know the whole truth of the matter.; Eboshi: As for me, I supported leaving records of the truth. As such, Watatsumi Omikami permitted me to add another trial path that, if passed, would lead to knowledge of our secrets.; Eboshi: Please accept this challenge.; I accept your challenge.; Oh, secrets. I like secrets.; Eboshi: That is well. In that case, allow me to open that path for you.

(A cutscene plays and three new subareas are revealed)

Eboshi: The three trial areas have been prepared.

Eboshi: Now, allow me to give you the clues to clearing them.

Eboshi: Now, in this Evernight, gaze upon the borders of Byakuyakoku.

Eboshi: "In the faintness of everlasting night, beyond the rushing of the river Styx, within the sinless flow of heavenly light."

Eboshi: Release the seal on The Emanant Skylight. Then, you may ascend to the Gate of Heaven and access the site of the trial.

The Emanant Skylight?

Eboshi: At night, you can see three pillars of light that descend from the dome above. These pillars point unto The Emanant Skylight.

Paimon: You're speaking in riddles!

Eboshi: Sorry, this is how the script written by Watatsumi Omikami reads. And I mean, aren't unclear instructions also part of the tradition of such trials?

Eboshi: Whatever the case may be. All the Jibashiri at the trial area are weirdos. If you don't pass through the teleporter to get there, they won't speak gently to you.

Eboshi: Either way, I can only stay here and hope that you will conquer all the obstacles set before you, and that you will return crowned in recognition.

(Talk to Eboshi again): Eboshi: Please go unto the Jibashiri's souls to prove your valor.; Eboshi: Only when you have completed the trials can I tell you all of our secrets.; Eboshi: Ah, goodness, look at me! Behaving like a young maiden with a little secret she cannot wait to share.

(Complete the challenges)

(Talk to Eboshi after completing the challenges)

Eboshi: Ah, you have been recognized by all the Jibashiri. They represent the will of Watatsumi, and so have you obtained the right to learn everything.

Eboshi: You are the savior of the people of Watatsumi, and are one acknowledged by Watatsumi also. Thus, you have earned the right to ask and to be answered.

Eboshi: Still, I ask that you follow the rules and not take the truth beyond this ocean abyss.

Eboshi: What else do you wish to know?

Tell me about the Bathysmal Vishaps...

Eboshi: They are primordial elemental beings, unbent and unbowed by the power that came from the heavens owing to their living deep underwater.

Eboshi: They are actually very intelligent, and they are adept at evolving. They would even evolve into different elemental forms throughout the history of their war against us.

Eboshi: I would not be surprised at all if they have learned language or perhaps even evolved into lizard-people of a sort.

Eboshi: The Holy Soil phenomenon is, in fact, the expansion of their habitat. That means that the primordial elemental power of the three realms is growing stronger.

Eboshi: Only by using Watatsumi Omikami's life force to awaken its second servant could we convert this raw, raging elemental power.

Tell me about Watatsumi Omikami...

Eboshi: Watatsumi Omikami, due to ill-fortune, fell into this place, beyond the jurisdiction of the heavenly order.

Eboshi: This was undoubtedly to the good fortune of us, the people of Byakuyakoku. It has done a great many things for us.

Eboshi: Unfortunately, by making contact with us, it also grasped a truth that came before its own existence. Thus, it was forced by heaven to sacrifice itself.

Eboshi: The truth behind this sacrifice had to remain unknown to all. Only thus could the people of Byakuyakoku be allowed to live under the rule of The Seven.

So, what were things like before the sun and moon?

Eboshi: Before Byakuyakoku fell into the deep sea, the whole world had a single unified culture.

Eboshi: Later, a great war broke out, in which the heavens capsized and the earth was ripped asunder. This land was then plunged into the dark ocean depths.

Eboshi: However, the heavenly order seemed to not wish for those who remembered all this to remain on the earth. We searched and searched for a road of return, but there was none to be found.

Eboshi: Much, much later, heaven's powers of prohibition would gradually weaken. Thus did Watatsumi Omikami manage to fall into this place.

Tell me about the Dainichi Mikoshi.

Eboshi: The Dainichi Mikoshi was constructed by the Sage Abrax. It has the power to bring light to the dark depths.

Eboshi: It has quite a few other functions, to boot.

Eboshi: All in all, it is a very powerful device.

I've got nothing else to ask.

Eboshi: Fair enough. Again, please remember to keep all that you have seen here in Enkanomiya an eternal secret.
