Dialogue

Honey Brew Manager: Well hello there... Oh! Our great Deliverer! Your "exclusive soul brew" from earlier is ready. Here you are.

Honey Brew Manager: Well, I should be going now...

My... brew?

From stepping on those grapes? How did it become a drink so quickly?

Honey brew, huh? Let me have a sip—

Weird. This purple liquid is completely flavorless. Might as well be drinking water.

Nothing makes sense here. I'll have to find out what's really going on.

Talk to the honey brew manager to learn more about what is happening

Step Description

You barely make a round on the stage when someone shoves a bottle of... honey brew into your hands? Did you make this yourself? When? This is weird... It'd be better to ask around.

(Talk to Honey Brew Manager)

Honey Brew Manager: Greetings! What can I help you with?

About this honey brew...

What was all that about before?

Honey Brew Manager: Oh... my apologies! We haven't had outsiders join our celebration in ages. I forgot you're from beyond the sky.

Honey Brew Manager: Allow me to introduce: the harvest zone for our honey brew. Before everything changed, Styxians and all people of Amphoreus drank brews made from these fruits, blessed by the divine power of the Chalice of Plenty.

Honey Brew Manager: What you walked across was Phagousa's altar. By personally stepping on the grapes, the journey you took to get here will be instantly turned into a bottle of "exclusive soul brew." One sip is supposed to calm troubled hearts and restore smiles, no matter how long they have been without joy...

Honey Brew Manager: ...or that's how it used to be, at least.

"Used to be"?

Honey Brew Manager: Well... have you tried it yet? To be honest...

You mean this bottle?

Honey Brew Manager: Exactly. Every "exclusive soul brew" should taste different. But unfortunately...

Honey Brew Manager: With Phagousa gone, the altar's power has diminished significantly. Now our "exclusive soul brew" tastes like nothing but water with barely a whisper of honey brew fragrance.

In other words, it's glorified water.

Honey Brew Manager: *sigh* Your bluntness hurts.

Maybe Hysilens could help with this?

Honey Brew Manager: Good idea, but... the guests only started complaining recently, and Lady Hysilens has been absent for quite a while...

Honey Brew Manager: ...

Honey Brew Manager: So... I was hoping that maybe YOU could...

Let me guess, you want me to fix it with prayers?

Honey Brew Manager: Oronyx's Prayer? No, no. Those two Titans couldn't stand each other. Using Oronyx's power... would probably backfire.

I have no idea where to find Hysilens.

Honey Brew Manager: Right, of course. Actually, I had something different in mind...

Honey Brew Manager: Our best option now might be to seek Lady Nereides. She was Lady Hysilens's personal assistant and is currently the only "Ocean" Priest remaining.

Honey Brew Manager: Perhaps she can channel Lady Hysilens's power to help us.

Let's discuss my payment...

Honey Brew Manager: Naturally. I'll make it worth your while.

Alright, I'll go speak with her.

Honey Brew Manager: Many thanks! I'll have your payment ready when you return.

Honey Brew Manager: For the sake of bringing this unique experience back to our revelry... we're counting on you, Great Deliverer.

Search for Hysilens's priest

Step Description

The soul brew altar... Whether for the reward or simply out of interest in this item, you've accepted the request to repair it. Go find the "Ocean" Priest to help out.

"Warbling Shores" Styxia

(Talk to Nereides): Transcription missing; Nereides: Heh... Hah haha.... Hahaha... Whoa, what a huge sea slug...; Ma'am? Ma'am! Time to shake off that buzz.; This sea slug needs you to start working again!; Nereides: Well, aren't you... *hic* a cute one! Do you need something, little ocean sprite? Care for a sip of my honey brew?; I need you to channel the power of the "Ocean."; Nereides: The... Ocean? Wait... Are you the one Lady Hysilens has been waiting for?; You quickly explained why you were there.; Nereides: Oh my... Has it been that long already? With all this never-ending revelry, I've almost forgotten what I'm supposed to do... except—; Nereides: One thing I'll never forget is Lady Hysilens's last task for me: "Enjoy and continue this revelry." Now, Great Deliverer, would you kindly escort me there?; Honey Brew Manager: It's been a while since we've seen you sober, Lady Nereides.; Nereides: Well then, I've been briefed. I'll see what I can do.; Nereides: "O embodiment of the shimmering tides, hear my call. The world falls silent for your sacred song. Bless this gathering with cups that never run dry—"; Nereides: ...; Did it work?; Nothing's happening...; Nereides: It feels... hmm, I'm not entirely certain. Great Deliverer, could you give it a taste for me?; Transcription missing

Step onto the altar and try making another bottle of soul brew

Step Description

The priest beckons the ocean's authority, but it doesn't quite work as expected. Try standing on the altar and making another bottle.

"Warbling Shores" Styxia

(Talk to Honey Brew Manager): Honey Brew Manager: Oh? I wonder if it's working now. Great Deliverer, could you try making one more bottle?

(Talk to Nereides): Nereides: Great Deliverer, might I trouble you to verify? Simply step onto the altar and craft another bottle of soul brew.

Transcription missing

Glimmering streaks of purple liquid swirled through the air and flowed into the vessel in waiting, a flask of honey brew now sealed and ready.

Take a sip.

Bottom's up!

Same as before. It's just water.

Still tasteless.

Guess that didn't work out.

Nereides: I suspected as much. Phagousa's authority entirely faded away. The Ocean's rituals alone cannot restore even the slightest bit of it now.

Nereides: Let's try something else. I'll try to "recreate" the flavor by building a new altar. But before that, I need to figure out how it actually works.

Do some research?

Find someone to ask around?

Nereides: No need for that. With the Great Deliverer here, we have a better option. Let's directly tap into the fallen Titan's memories instead.

Find the spirit basin and see if you can discover the Titan's thoughts

Step Description

The attempt to repair failed, but if we could understand how it operates, the priest might be able to build a new altar—why not use your authority of time to ask the Titan directly?

"Warbling Shores" Styxia

(Talk to Nereides): Transcription missing; Nereides: I'll need your help, Great Deliverer. Hmm... there's a certain sadness in knowing you're likely the last to ever wield Oronyx's Miracle.; Worth a shot.; ...Stir up ripples of past reverie!; Their memory speaks to you like greeting an old friend, probably because you've rewound them once already.; Ripples in the Basin: Well... Our revelry is at its height, but... Too many have passed on the honey brew.; Ripples in the Basin: What should I do? Can't exactly force them to drink it— Or can I? No, wait, I've got a better idea!; Ripples in the Basin: I'll harvest their deepest desires for my brew, spinning memories into liquid joy. Behold my genius!; Ripples in the Basin: That's it, my lovelies... step in and crush your desires deep into the basin—; Ripples in the Basin: After all... no one ever turns down a sip of their own deepest longing...; ...; Yep, that's the Titan of Honey Brew alright...; They've got quite the silver tongue.; Nereides: "Honey brews for every palate, each bottle filled with different desires." That's the divine work Phagousa is most known for.; Nereides: Sadly, peering into hearts and minds isn't part of Lady Hysilens's authority.; So we're at a dead end.; Got any other ideas?; Can't blame her. She's still new to being a demigod.; Nereides: ...; Transcription missing

Return to the brewing area

Step Description

The priest seems to have an epiphany. Hopefully, the soul brew can be rejuvenated this time.

Step onto the altar and try making another bottle of soul brew

(Talk to Honey Brew Manager): Honey Brew Manager: I can feel it. The altar seems to have come back to life...

(Talk to Nereides): Nereides: Please, Great Deliverer. Step onto the altar and craft another bottle of soul brew.

Transcription missing

Glimmering streaks of purple liquid swirled through the air and flowed into the vessel in waiting, a flask of honey brew now sealed and ready.

Take a sip.

Silky consistency, floral fragrance, water elements... Is this actually honey brew? No, wait... this taste seems familiar, like you've had it somewhere...

Bottom's up!

Instead of the strong kick you expected, you're struck by a familiar taste, like you've had it somewhere...

Transcription missing

This is the taste of...

...the Dew of Divine Blood that Hysilens let me try?

Nereides: Oh, blessed be Lady Hysilens! We've done it, Great Deliverer.

I don't understand...

Are you saying...

Nereides: Lady Hysilens somehow knows that this is the drink you've become most familiar with since arriving in Amphoreus.

Observe the new brewing area

Step Description

The altar has been reforged, and the signature soul brew has once again caught the attention of the banquet guests. Go have a chat with them.

"Warbling Shores" Styxia

Moments later...

Delighted Guest: Oh yes! This is definitely it! The "exclusive soul brew" I've been craving for fifteen years is finally back!

Pondering Guest: The flavor isn't quite what I remember... but honestly? That doesn't matter. This new bottle is incredible!

Honey Brew Manager: Ladies and gentlemen! Our doors are officially reopened, all thanks to our priest who prayed for Lady Hysilens's blessing!

Excited Guest: Fantastic! A taste lost for a thousand years, now ours to enjoy again—

Honey Brew Manager: Great Deliverer, Lady Nereides, your help has been absolutely invaluable to us.

Happy to help.

About that payment you promised...

Honey Brew Manager: Certainly! I'll fetch it right away. I promise you'll be pleased!

Honey Brew Manager: We cannot thank you enough. If you ever return with friends, do stop by our harvest zone! Our revelry has room for anyone who enjoys honey brew!

Honey Brew Manager: I've got to run now, business calls. Please, make yourselves at home and feel free to look around.

Nereides: Great Deliverer, I have a special item that belongs in your hands.

What's this?

Whatever it is, it looks expensive.

Nereides: The last bottle in all of Amphoreus, a pure brew of the "Ocean," bearing the inscription "Take the Feast to Tomorrow." It is, quite simply, priceless.

Nereides: Lady Hysilens personally created and sealed it, long before anyone had ever heard that ancient ballad.

Nereides: She left just one request, that this bottle find its way to the person she's been waiting for—

I'm honored to receive this.

This is incredibly significant.

Nereides: She gathered us around her, yet never escaped her solitude. Now that you're here, perhaps that will change.

Nereides: Tell me, Great Deliverer... is the "soul brew" we make today still faithful to what it once was?

As long as everyone's happy, that's all that matters.

I think there's a difference...

Nereides: So that's what you think... Still, no opinion is truly wrong here.

The soul brew has returned. Make the most of this "one and only chance." Let a friend from Amphoreus try it, and maybe...
