Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionNow you know very well that this is not the first time you have attended the Sabzeruz Festival. To save Dunyarzad, you must find a way to get to the bottom of the truth.
- (A flashback is briefly shown)
- (The Traveler and Paimon finish remembering by Nahida and the real Dunyarzad)
- Paimon: Paimon remembers everything!
- Nahida: ...Good, you adapted quickly this time.
At the end of last night...- Paimon: We definitely took off our Akasha Terminals last night, but we still heard that beep. Why's that?
- We've been implanted with another form of the terminals?
We failed at severing our connections with them?- Paimon: But now, we can at least confirm one thing: The Akasha definitely has something to do with whatever's trapping us in this cycle!
- Paimon: Paimon doesn't get it... Why would the Akasha go this far if all it wants is everybody's wisdom?
- Nahida: It's extremely difficult for lab rats in an experiment to understand why they're being treated the way they are.
- Paimon: If we're lab rats, then what are you? Nahida, you've never told us anything about yourself...
- Nahida: Hmm... I guess I'm the Moon.
- Paimon: The Moon? Wasn't that the result of our divination?
- ...
- Nahida: Anyway, knowing who I am won't help you get closer to the truth, so you should focus on other things. Don't get distracted and miss any clues~
- Paimon: Okay then... Dehya helped us a lot yesterday, so let's go find her. If Paimon's reading the time correctly, those kidnappers should be showing up soon.
- (A scene transition occurs)
-
- Dehya: Ah, there you are. I've already taken care of those kidnappers. My lady, did you get hurt?
- Hold on, something's not right...
- Paimon: Eh? Dehya!?
- Dehya: What's wrong? Why are you both gawking at me like that?
- Paimon: Y—You didn't get hurt this time!?
- Dehya: Huh? What do you mean, "this time"? Why are you so surprised that I managed to get out unscathed? Those kids were amateurs.
- Aren't you still getting used to your new greatsword?
- Your unfamiliarity usually lands you some scratches.
- Dehya: Shhh... How did you know about my greatsword? I haven't told anyone about it. Please don't tell Miss Dunyarzad!
- Paimon: So Dehya's lost her memories after all...
- During your battle...
- Did anything feel strange?
- Dehya: Anything strange...? You already know that I got a new greatsword. Hmm... if I had to say something, it's weird how such a new weapon could feel so familiar.
- Dehya: It's as if... I've already used it to fight a countless number of battles.
- Paimon: You're saying that although you don't remember using it, your body... feels like it does?
- Dehya: That's right. Both mercenaries and warriors heavily rely on muscle memory. Only knowing the theory of battle won't get you anywhere.
- Paimon: Traveler, what do you think?
- Could it be because we removed our Akasha Terminals?
- This has never happened before...
- Paimon: Yeah, Paimon's feeling really hopeful!
- Is it possible that... we have already broken free?
- Paimon: Ooh, you're right! Earlier in the samsara, something like this would've never happened.
- We'll know for sure at the end of the day.
- Dehya: I have no clue what you two are talking about, but it's still dangerous here, so—
- Paimon: So you want us to take Dunyarzad somewhere else to rest while you check if there are still more kidnappers around. Right?
- Dehya: How did you know what I was gonna say...? Can you read minds?
- Paimon: Forget it, go and do your thing.
- (A scene transition occurs)
-
- Paimon: ...Phew, it's finally nighttime. Aside from Dehya not getting injured, everything seems to have stayed the same.
- Paimon: Listen, Nahida! We found out that Dehya got out just fine today, even though she got injured every other time she fought the kidnappers.
- Paimon: Do you think the samsara has been broken? Have we saved Dunyarzad?
- Nahida: Really? Good job on all that progress. Get some good sleep tonight.
- Paimon: Hey, what kind of an answer is that?
- Nahida: "Tomorrow will come." Everyone assumes this as common knowledge, but the only way you can know that for sure is if you experience tomorrow.
- Nahida: How many "today"s has it been? Is it possible that "today" will be followed by "yesterday"? Does "tomorrow" truly exist as anything beyond a made-up concept?
- Nahida: It's even possible that this entire world is a lie, and the history of the whole world has just been one endless Sabzeruz Festival.
- Paimon: Okay, okay, no more! Paimon's brain has already shut down!
- Nahida: Hehe... That's why it makes no sense to waste your energy thinking about things you will learn tomorrow.
- Nahida: Get some good rest! Ya know... Use the bathroom and flush your anxiety dookie away~
- Paimon: Huh? Hold on, what did you just say? Did Paimon hear you correctly?
- Nahida: Hm? People always say they feel a sense of relief after they take a dook-dook. That's why I suggested you could try that. Is that so strange?
- Paimon: Ugh... It's so strange and so against common sense that Paimon is at a loss for words... You were sounding kinda smart just a minute ago!
- ...We're going to go get some rest.
- Paimon: Yeah... Even though it's happy and lively at the Sabzeruz Festival every day, it feels like it's been a long time since we've really gotten to relax. Let's go back to our room.
- ???: *beep*
- ???: Continue the harvest. Compared to what we stand to achieve, these sacrifices are trivial.
Attempting to leave Sumeru City[]
During this act, the player is not blocked from leaving the city, but various mechanics strongly discourage them from doing so, and quest progress may reset depending on which quest step the player was at when leaving the city.
The following dialogue applies to all quests within this act after the Traveler and Paimon wake up on the day of the Sabzeruz Festival during The Coming of the Sabzeruz Festival, except for Dawn:
- (Talk to or approach guards blocking city exits)
- Guard: Hey! Stop right there! No one is allowed to enter or leave Sumeru City right now. Go away!
- Paimon: Whoa... Ugh, okay.
- (The player is teleported a few steps back into the city)
- (Talk to the merchant near the guard at the northwest city exit)
- Merchant: *sigh* How am I supposed to conduct business when I'm not allowed to leave the city?
The following messages appear in all quests in this act except for The Coming of the Sabzeruz Festival and Dawn:
The border
- (Approach the city border away from any guards)
-
- (Overlay message) Note that leaving this area will interrupt your story experience. This may affect your current quest progress.
- (Attempt to teleport to a Waypoint outside of Sumeru City)
-
- (Message box) Note that leaving this area will interrupt your story experience. This may affect your current quest progress.
