They Who Hear the Sea
Last updated 2025-08-31
They Who Hear the Sea is a World Quest that occurs in Twinning Isle, Golden Apple Archipelago. It was part of the Midsummer Island Adventure event.
Steps
- The quest starts after interacting with the Echoing Conch, The Clan of Song, Scattered, located slightly west of the Teleport Waypoint at Twinning Isle.
- Search for treasure on Twinning Isle
- Unlock the treasure chest
Gameplay Notes
- The lock's code is 5-2-1-4, corresponding with the first word in each of the stanzas of the poem recited in the conches of 'Songs of a Distant Home': Five Mountains, Two Paths, One River and Four Winds.
- The option to dig for the chest does not appear until the quest has been triggered.
- The player needs to check the Conch Retrospection in the Event menu screen at least once. Otherwise, the chest will not unlock even if the correct code is entered.
- The code will work even if the player did not collect all the relevant conches, as long as the criteria above is fulfilled.
- The chest is guaranteed to contain a 4* Berserker's Bone Goblet. The stats are random.
- The treasure can be found on a small island in the middle of the Twinning Isle's larger islands.

Quest DescriptionYou discover a strange conch shell on Twinning Isle in the Golden Apple Archipelago. The sounds that come from within seem to hint at something...
- (Interact with the conch)
- Echoing Conch: "The tides are getting higher by the year. If the water level rises much further, we will stand very little chance of survival..."
- Echoing Conch: "There's no other choice. I must tell everyone to pack up their belongings and move to higher ground."
- Echoing Conch: "Mother!"
- Echoing Conch: "What's wrong?"
- Echoing Conch: "The tide reached us, so I told everyone to run and get to higher ground. But the family heirloom — I'm sorry... It was a choice between that and getting everyone to safety, so I... I didn't have enough time to get it."
- Echoing Conch: "It's right in the center of the island. If the water recedes sometime, or if someone gets in from outside, we'll just have to get them to find it for us."
- (After digging up the chest)
- Paimon: Found it! Treasure, treasure... Wonder what'll we find inside...
- Paimon: Eh? There's a lock on it. And it's coded, too... Looks like we'll need the code to open it...
We can just shatter it, can't we?
- Paimon: Wait! What will happen if the stuff inside breaks as well?
- Paimon: Let's find a way to unlock it instead, shall we?
- Looks like we'll have to find a way to unlock it.
- Paimon: But Paimon doesn't see any stone tablets, portraits, notes, carvings or notes nearby...
- There's a dearth of scholars, Treasure Hoarders, and adventurers, too.
- Paimon: Yeah. Hmm... This is an unprecedented test!
- Paimon: But since this chest contains "family heirlooms" and is locked using a code...
- Paimon: That's gotta mean that the person who locked it thinks that the code they left behind is easy enough to remember.
- Paimon: Looks like our only chance are those conches that store sounds.
- Paimon: Let's listen to the sounds inside those conches again. Let's hope that they can give us some clues about the code...

- Paimon: Let's listen carefully to the sounds that the conches make. Maybe those'll give us some clues.
