Dialogue
Investigate the intersection leading to the treasury
Mission DescriptionWhen you were here before, the other path was blocked by an iron ball... Perhaps things have changed if you take another look?
- (Approach Joyworm)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* You actually dodged my iron ball?
- Joyworm: *whoosh* Or maybe you're just a ghost? The iron ball passed right through you. I see, it's all starting to make sense now.
Is that the corpse of a bug talking?- Let me help you understand with my bat.
- Joyworm: Uh, sorry, sorry. It's all my fault — this loud mouth of mine. It's been so long since I've talked to a real person, I barely remember how to speak... Hehe. Since you're alive, I shouldn't stop you — there's treasure up there, go take a look!
Speak with the nymph that shows up
- Step DescriptionA nymph eager to send you flying urges you to find treasure by solving puzzles... How strange.
- (Approach Joyworm)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* Welcome to the maze house. Are you familiar with these balls? Just use the power of Oronyx to get them into the holes—
- Joyworm: —Uh oh! It's been so long since I've seen a living person, I forgot to check... You know how to use the Oronyx's Prayer, right?
- That I do.
- What if I don't?
- Joyworm: *whoosh* We're doomed. I can't teach you. Goodbye, it was nice meeting you.
- Just kidding, I actually know how to use it.
- It's fine, I just figured it out.
- Joyworm: You almost got me... Anyway, using the prayer isn't such a big deal. Listen carefully, as long as you make all the balls stop on the pressure plates, it's done!
- Joyworm: Look, the balls are here—
- Joyworm: And here!
- Joyworm: It's up to you now, I'll be flying around here. *whoosh*
Solve the puzzle in the room (I)
The Chrono Vessel is a temporal ritual tool crafted by Oronyx's priests, with various sizes and styles. Breaking the Chrono Vessel will pause time in the area around it.

- (After solving the puzzle)
- Joyworm: The door's open — this way, this way—
Enter the unlocked room to search for "treasure" (I)
- (After opening all three chests)
- Joyworm: See? I wasn't lying. This is just a small part. The old priest of Oronyx left two more puzzles behind—
- Joyworm: *whoosh* Such a nostalgic atmosphere. How long has it been since I've been here?
- Joyworm: To keep the puzzle going, let's not take the same route back. We'll go around from the other side!
Speak with Joyworm about continuing the "treasure hunt"
- (Approach Joyworm)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* It brings back memories. But I can't stay in the past forever. Let's move on.
- Darn it, why is there another statue?
- Is this... also part of the stage mechanism?
- Joyworm: Stage mechanism? I don't know what you're talking about, but if you say so, then sure.
- Joyworm: I remember the old priest saying that the puzzles would keep expanding over time... Looks like this is what he meant. The priest of Oronyx — impressive, isn't it?
- Joyworm: No time to waste. Let's begin! Be sure to remember the position of the balls!
- (If the elevator hasn't been fixed yet)
-
- Joyworm: Also, the floating platform isn't moving yet. Maybe it's connected to that ritual vessel over there.
- Joyworm: I bet this puzzle won't stump you. Go for it! *whoosh*
- Joyworm: I did try to solve the puzzle myself once, but unfortunately, as a glowworm, I don't have horns to smash the statues.
Solve the puzzle in the room (II)
- (After solving the puzzle)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* The door's open! Just so you know, even if we didn't solve the puzzle, I could've slipped through the cracks.
- Joyworm: Too bad you're still alive. If you were a ghost, you could've squeezed in... *whoosh*
Enter the unlocked room to search for "treasure" (II)
- (After opening all three chests)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* Look at all this stuff! I had no idea the priest collected so many bizarre items.
- Joyworm: That person was always so mysterious. They say this place not only holds all his life savings, but also his most prized treasure... Even I, who spent the most time with him, don't know what it is.
- Joyworm: Alright, back to solving puzzles. I'll fly back and wait for you. Don't forget to circle back. *whoosh*
Speak with Joyworm about continuing the "treasure hunt"
- (Approach Joyworm)
- Joyworm: A monster almost got onto the floating platform just now, but I knocked it into the River of Souls with a giant iron ball.
- Joyworm: *whoosh* Why is there so much stuff here!?
- Joyworm: There are a total of one, two, three... three balls!
- Joyworm: And all this junk on the floor... If they didn't want anyone solving this, it must be the final puzzle! Solve it, and the old priest won't have any rations left!
Solve the puzzle in the room (III)
- (Use the ball to destroy obstacles)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* This clean feeling—it's so refreshing for a bug—
- Joyworm: It's like coming home from a trip and doing a thorough cleaning. That's what the priest said — I wouldn't know. *whoosh*
- (After solving the puzzle)
- Joyworm: The door's open. *whoosh* You're amazing! But... now that I think about it, after giving you so many hints, don't you think I deserve a Balance Coin?
- Joyworm: *whoosh* But there's no merchant here who even needs money... Keep it for yourself, and just think of me fondly.
Enter the unlocked room to search for "treasure" (III)
- (After opening all three chests)
- Joyworm: *whoosh* That's a huge chest. Congratulations, big guy! Let's see what the priest hid inside that even I wasn't allowed to see...
- (Quick Read: Stone Tablet Found in Chest)

Stone Tablet Found in Chest - Greetings, traveler. Congratulations on solving the puzzle three times — you must possess the qualities I seek: Wisdom and resilience recognized by Oronyx, an adventurous spirit, and most importantly — being alive.
Perhaps you've already guessed it, but the real treasure is something beyond the reach of time. To me, it is this unique bond.
Since my soul research was interrupted and I was driven from the city as a heretic by the church, this nymph I met on my journey has become my sole companion. We have endured many hardships, journeying together to this ancient city of the dead, and have remained here for many Light Calendar years.
As my time comes to a close, I've gained new insights into the teachings of time. I set up this puzzle so that my life's accumulated knowledge could be seen by someone and passed on after I'm gone. What still troubles me is my eternal nymph companion—
No, I'm not worried about its safety, but about the fact that soon, no one will entertain it anymore. Based on my understanding of it, it will likely resort to playing with the iron balls in the hall, causing a ruckus. Perhaps I exaggerate, but please understand, it is quite mischievous.
Perhaps... it has already collided with you? Please forgive it.
I wonder if you might take it from here, whether on your travels or reuniting it with other nymph companions — just please don't allow it to disturb the spirits of the dead here anymore. It has been quite disrespectful.
Of course, I understand that this is an unreasonable request, so — how you choose to act is entirely up to you. May you walk with time for many years to come.
Notes: That insect keeps saying, "If even you, a 'fake priest,' can learn prayers, then Oronyx' divine power is nothing special." This is my extra request — please explain to it just how skilled one must be to master Oronyx's Prayers!
- Joyworm: *whoosh*
- Joyworm: What the heck is this—
This priest really knew you well.
- Joyworm: *whoosh* Even after all this time, a few words bring back those days... Sorry for the misunderstanding about me being mischievous. He made that up. My apologies. *whoosh*
- Come, let's go to Okhema together.
- If memory serves me right, the garmentmaker here should be...
- Joyworm: *whoosh* No, no, no, don't listen to him! I'm not done playing yet.
- Joyworm: Besides, even though I feel the water from River of Souls starting to flow, his soul likely hasn't left yet. I want to wait until he's completely moved on to the nether realm before I leave this place...
- Joyworm: Anyway, you've fulfilled my companion's last wish. Thank you. *whoosh* And be sure to spend those Balance Coins wisely. Don't blow them on some weird "investment" product. That's advice from his experience as a phony priest!
- Are you sure you'll be okay on your own as just a bug?
- Joyworm: No worries, no worries. You saw it written, right? I've got a giant iron ball!
- Joyworm: Besides, I'm so inconspicuous. Nobody would bother looking for a bug, right?
- Joyworm: Oh, and just between you and me... This room has another hidden form. I once caught a glimpse of its phantom, something even the Priest of Time didn't discover.
- Joyworm: The puzzle to reveal it is set up in the previous room, but the solution seems to differ from before. It feels like the clues aren't even in these two rooms...
- Joyworm: If you're interested, explore it yourself. I'm going back to play with the iron ball! Watch your step next time. *whoosh*
