Pre-Quest Dialogue[]

(Touch the ancient mechanism by the entrance before obtaining Cocouik's power, optional): Ancient Mechanism: (The ancient mechanism remains still. A strong odor of the Abyss lingers around it...)

(Approach the golden barrier by the entrance before obtaining Cocouik's power, optional): Paimon: Gah, (TravelerTraveler)! The Abyssal energy ahead is so strong! Let's think of some way to clear out the energy around here before we continue exploring.

(Drop down one level, to the Winding Ancient Road): Paimon: Wow, it's really cool down here! Paimon didn't think there'd be this much space either...

(Drop down another level, to the Buried Underground Ruins): Paimon: Uh, how deep does this place go? And what sorta person would dig all the way down here? Paimon's kinda curious...

(While solving the puzzle at the west end of the Buried Underground Ruins)

(Start the mechanism): Paimon: Hey, it’s one of those weird devices... It’s pulled up the chest from underwater...

(Release the mechanism before placing a board, optional): Paimon: Ugh, it fell back down again... If only there was something to hold the chest in place...

(Start the mechanism while a board is in place, optional): Paimon: Uhh... That board is blocking the chest. Maybe we should try sucking up the chest first?

(Complete the puzzle): Paimon: Yeah, that’s right! Great job!

(Reach the centre of the Buried Underground Ruins): ("Little One""Little One"): Rawr, rawr!; Paimon: Hey, don’t run off, ("Little One""Little One")! It’s really dark here!; Paimon: Huh? Wait... It looks like these are marks left by someone...

(Approach the Teleport Waypoint at the west end of the Buried Underground Ruins): ???: ...Chosen of... Noble one...

(Approach the central cavern): ???: ...Ye... Honored... Pay respects...

(Approach the small dragon statue): Paimon: Hey, look, (TravelerTraveler)! This statue seems to have a weird groove on it...; ("Little One""Little One"): Rawr, rawr!; Paimon: Oh? Is there something that’s really caught your eye, ("Little One""Little One")?; ("Little One""Little One"): Rawr!; Paimon: Hmm, it seems like he’s saying “Follow me!”... Maybe we should follow him and take a look?

(Interact with the statue, optional): Paimon: What could this groove be for...? C’mon, (TravelerTraveler), let’s follow ("Little One""Little One") over there and have a look. Maybe there’s something good waiting for us there!

(Approach the Ancient Flint Key)

Strange Mechanism Components...

Tutorial Strange Mechanism Components...

A peculiarly shaped mechanical component. It seems like it can be rotated to match the shape of the holes in some ruin control mechanisms...

(Pick up the Ancient Flint Key)

(Obtain Ancient Flint Key)

Paimon: Careful! These Secret Source Automatons still work!

(After defeating Secret Source Automaton: Hunter-Seeker ×2): Paimon: Wow, that did it! Thought, doesn’t this key that ("Little One""Little One") found look like it matches that groove in the statue exactly?; ("Little One""Little One"): Rawr! Rawr!; Paimon: Hehe, he sure looks happy! Anyway, let's find a way out of here first, starting by heading back to the statue!

Quest Description

At Ochkanatlan, you discover an underground structure so deep as to seem bottomless...

(Approach the giant statue): Paimon: What a strange statue. It looks like... a dragon?; ("Little One""Little One"): Rawr, rawr!

(Interact with the investigation point): Paimon: Ooh, look, a shiny gem! Hang on. It doesn't look like a rock. More like a... shard of metal?; Paimon: Let's take it with us anyway, (TravelerTraveler). Never know if it'll turn out to be a valuable treasure, eh?
(Obtain Ancient Jadestone Fragment)

(Insert the key into the mechanism): Paimon: The water level's dropped again. Looks like we can keep going now!

(Interact with the investigation point): Paimon: Huh. This fragment's very similar to the one before... It doesn't look artificial, though. What could it have been used for?
(Obtain Ancient Jadestone Fragment)

(Enter the central cavern): Paimon: Wow, didn't expect the statue to be this huge... Who carved this thing, anyway?; ???: ...O Noble one, Chosen of Dragons... Step forward...

(Approach the strange crystal in front of the barrier)

Paimon: Hmm, this place seems to have been locked down by the strange rock over there...

Sealed Flamecrystals

A crystal used to seal the power of the ancient ruins. It can be broken via ramming or attacks. After being broken, it seems to be able to unleash the power of a certain place...

(Approach the mechanism): Paimon: Ohh, this isn't endless, is it...; Paimon: I—It's so dark in here... R—Remember to stick close, (TravelerTraveler)!

(Insert the key into the mechanism): Paimon: Hehe, guess we just need to insert the key into the statue, just like before, right?; Paimon: Anyway, don't you think it's super quiet here? No strange mechanical monsters around the statue and stuff... This place is so different from other parts of Ochkanatlan...; Paimon: Whoa! Abyssal monsters! Why'd they just pop out all of a sudden!?

(Enter the central cavern): ???: ...O Noble one, Chosen of Dragons... Step forward and hear my words...

(Interact with the investigation point): Paimon: And another identical fragment... Ugh, come on, we can't put them together at all!
(Obtain Ancient Jadestone Fragment)

(Approach the center of the platform)

???: The sovereign ruler of the Land of SevenChichen Uctokah Flames extends salutations unto you, chosen one. May your path be one paved with flowers that shall never wither.

Paimon: That voice... Sounds like it came from this... big statue.

Who are you?

"Chosen one"? You mean me?

???: Indeed. Chosen of Dragons you are, and noble elect of mine also.

Ix Uxul Tz'ib Bolon Ch'ule-L: Dragonlord Ix Uxul Tz'ib Bolon Ch'ule-LType-L Self-Regulating Overseer Array Integrated Processing Unit is my name, aforetime the ruler of Chichen Uctokah.

(Condition missing)

Paimon: Ixu... What's your name now? Sure that's something you call yourself, and not some kind of mumbo-jumbo spell?

(Condition missing)

Paimon: Ixu... What's your name now? Sure that's something you call yourself, and not some crazy spell?

Paimon: Whatever, Paimon's gonna call you "Ixlel." That'll do. Not like she'll remember the rest anyway!

Ixlel: According to the sacred destinedK'uhul path hath ye and those with ye... No, wait! What did you name me, you white, round, elemental floating object!?

Paimon: And who are you calling a "white, round, elemental floating object"!? Paimon's the name, this is (Traveler), and...

("Little One""Little One"): Rraaar!

And this is ("Little One").

Paimon: Also, you're the one who called yourself "Ix-whachamacallitagain-lel," or whatever, didn't you?

Ixlel: S—Such impertinence! This sacred name comes from the most glorious of rulers. How dare this white, round, elemental floating object speak thus, and vastly overstep its station!

Ixlel: Noble (Traveler)! Forgive my blunt speech, but surely you grant your servant gross latitude, that it should address a sovereign ruler thusly!

Paimon is not my servant.

Paimon: Hmph, that's right! We're the best of friends!

Ixlel: You... friends with an elemental floating object? A... unique choice, I must confess.

Well said. Now then, Mini Pie, I must have words with thee...

Paimon: Hey, hey! Who's "Mini Pie," huh? Don't get ahead of yourself over some flattery, you hear?

Ixlel: In any case, do accept my apologies, noble (Traveler). You have sojourned far to reach this place, and yet this all-too-humiliating form is all I can display before you.

Ixlel: Did this despicable statue not entrap me, I would surely have presented myself to you in a more elegant fashion, whether it be in a Dragonlord's form, or a mortal's guise...

Paimon: Wait, so you're stuck in there?

Ixlel: Hmph. And you have reason to think otherwise? Think me a mere talking statue, do you?

Paimon: But... this is the sorta place where "a mere talking statue" wouldn't be too out of place, don'cha think?

Ixlel: Gah. You insolent creature! I am the sovereign ruler of Chichen Uctokah, a great and glorious Dragonlord... You dare... You dare...!

Ixlel: If not for that most despised of betrayals, I would never have been trapped in this crude carving!

Ixlel: B—But anyway! Noble (Traveler), let me cut this long story short — I am in need of your aid.

In what matter?

For what reward?

Ixlel: Haha. Fret not. Once I am done speaking, you shall know your reward's value.

Ixlel: My heart was once ripped apart through betrayal, before being hidden in various devices. I would ask you to seek those shards for me. Once that is done...

Ixlel: Cut my chest open as you would peel Grainfruit leaves, and dig my heart out.

Paimon: Sure... Uh, wait a minute. You just said something super scary so casually...

Ixlel: Scary? You mean the Grainfruit? How chicken-hearted you are, elemental floating object...

Paimon: What? What are you talking about? Who'd be afraid of Grainfruit anyway? Paimon's talking about that last part, with the whole "dig out your heart" thing!

Ixlel: Hmm? Is that not a more pedestrian thing than Grainfruit? Ah, Noble (Traveler), do you not have your servants attend you as you partake in sacrifices?

Why do you want your heart to be dug out?

Ixlel: For you are the noble one, the Chosen of Dragons. Apart from our lost colleagues in rulershipAjaw, you alone have the right to give unto me release befitting of my rank.

Ixlel: If you are familiar with the ancient ways, O Noble (Traveler), surely you must know that my heartClustered Storage Array, created as it was in great antiquity, holds all the memories that were once mine.

Ixlel: The traitor — may his name be cast into the everlasting flames to burn for thirteen thousand years! — stole my authority, using memories to entrap me here.

Paimon: What? Can memories be used to restrain peopl— Err, Dragons?

Ixlel: Hmph. So ignorant are you that it is quite adorable, elemental floating object. Had my authority not been lost, I might yet have taken you in as a pet.

Ixlel: For mayfly-races, memories are naturally as sweet and lovely as Quenepa Berries, but for long-lived species, memories are naught but curses and shackles.

Paimon: That's... not easy to understand...

Ixlel: Whatever the case may be, it was this means by which that wretched renegade forced me to sing for his empire, and for his delusions — for he did not know how to operate this city.

Ixlel: His pitiful empire and his laughable delusions were both reduced to ash. Yet, here I remain still, imprisoned in this miserable effigy.

Paimon: Um, even if you say so, it still feels strange to find your heart, only to dig it out again...

Ixlel: Heh... Still you do not comprehend, you white, round, elemental floating object?

Ixlel: My life's thread is all but spun out. And even were that not so, my consciousness shall also be utterly depleted in thirty winters.

Ixlel: My dignity permits me not to die enslaved or confined! Therefore, noble (Traveler), I beg of you, grant me release.

Ixlel: I cannot destroy myself, but should you retrieve those fragments, I can pour what remains of my lifeEnergy into them, restoring my broken heart to its original state.

Ixlel: This is a step of self-protection, and only by this may I not violate the destinedK'uhul, sacred law.

Ixlel: After that, dig my heart out. It is this heart that binds me, that enslaves me, that has tormented me endlessly all these millennia.

Ixlel: It is the true heart of a Dragonlord, before which all of humanity's gems must shy away in shame. And it shall be your reward — what say you?

(If all 3 Ancient Jadestone Fragments have not been collected)

I understand.

Ixlel: You have my thanks. Then, let me sing here, and wait for good tidings from you. Little else can I do now, I fear.

Ixlel: Please... find my heart, and grant me noble relief.

Is there no other way?

Ixlel: Hehe... It seems you have yet to meet my colleagues of old.

Ixlel: Otherwise, they would have told you that destruction is our destinedK'uhul path. There is no need for another, nor is it possible to find one.

Ixlel: Regardless, I will sing here and await your decision.

(Stand on the central platform): Paimon: Aha, found it! Just one fragment left!

(Pick up the final fragment): Paimon: This should be the last fragment! Shall we go back to Ixlel, (TravelerTraveler)?

(If all 3 Ancient Jadestone Fragments have been collected)

Paimon: Huh? Wait, when you say "heart," you mean...

You show Ixlel the peculiar fragments you found...

Ixlel: Th—These are... Yes. Yes! These are the ones!

Ixlel: To think that you have already collected all these fragments! Now then, noble (Traveler), please dig my heart out, and let me perish at your hand!

Ixlel: Rejoice also, white, round, elemental floating object! For I shall bestow upon you too the honor of witnessing the passing of Chichen Uctokah's ruler!

Paimon: Whoa, don't get so excited about this stuff, would ya? Anyway, we just need to put these components in first, right?

Ixlel: Indeed, indeed! Come now, I shall open my heart to you. Take it out, and this task shall be done!

Paimon: Ugh, do you really have to put it that way?

(Insert the fragments.)

Paimon: Uh, and then...

(Submit Ancient Jadestone Fragment ×3)

(Continue to next section)

(Talk to Ixlel again, if all fragments were not found or item submission was cancelled)

Paimon: Hey, Ixlel! We've found the bits and bobs you need!

Ixlel: Wh—Who do you name "Ixlel," you insolent whelp? I've told you, my name is...

Ixlel: Alright, never mind! I tire of waiting to die! Come, noble (Traveler), put ye these into my chest...

Ixlel: And then dig out my heart, and allow me to perish by your noble hands!

Ixlel: Rejoice thou also, O white, round, elemental floating object! For I shall bestow upon you too the honor of witnessing the passing of Chichen Uctokah's ruler!

Paimon: Whoa, don't get so excited about this stuff, would ya? Anyway, we just need to put these components in first, right?

Ixlel: Indeed, indeed! Come now, I shall open my heart to you. Take it out, and this task shall be done!

Paimon: Ugh, do you really have to put it that way?

(Insert the components.)

Paimon: Uh, and then...

(Submit Ancient Jadestone Fragment ×3)

(After inserting the fragments): Paimon: Wh—What is this!?; Ixlel: Och-Kan... Och-Kan! You despicable beast! You vicious viper! You filthy, traitorous insect! Will you not even let me pass on in peace, you mongrel!?; Ixlel: ...Apologies, (TravelerTraveler). Please, help me one last time and cut these chains that bind my consciousness, that prevent me from... opening my heart to you...

(After destroying the chain on the first level): Paimon: Phew. That's the chains on the first floor severed! Let's keep on going and take care of the rest!; Ixlel: O tides, I bid you hearken — hear now the final edict of the Land of Seven Flames' sovereign ruler...; Ixlel: Topple these long-destroyed halls, for the sake of these puny humans, and for our honor also.

(After destroying the chains on the second level): Paimon: One last floor left! Still, these seals seem pretty crude... is it because they're so old?; Ixlel: (TravelerTraveler)... Please, be wary! From what I know of the traitor, such seals are far too simple — abnormally so, in fact...

(While evading the attacks): Paimon: Agh! Where did these Secret Source platforms come from this time!?; Ixlel: Be careful, (TravelerTraveler)!; Ixlel: I understand. Since these are parasites upon my person and life, I merely need to accelerate consumption, and...

(At the end of the attacks): Ixlel: Hmm. It would seem that these toys have run dry as well...

(After destroying the chains on the third level): Ixlel: Next, (TravelerTraveler)... You need only... Take my... heart...; Ixlel: Thank you... for granting me...

(Interact with the heart): Paimon: Um, Ixlel? You there?; Statue: (The will imprisoned within the statue has dissipated. Silence alone answers you.)
(Obtain Perfect Heart of the Sacred Dragon)

(After the water level falls): Paimon: Huh? That door over there... Why'd it suddenly open?

Trivia[]

A Remarkable Chest containing the Furnishing Blueprint for Phlogiston Street Lamp: The Road Ahead is hidden beneath the rising Secret Source platform in the Ancient Ruins Walkway.
It is actually quite difficult to die as an indwelled Koholasaurus during the Secret Sentinel attack phase.
