Objectives & Dialogues

• Talk to the Zhiqiong up ahead Zhiqiong, Paimon Zhiqiong: It’s great to see that you’re alright! What… what were those two creatures? I’ve never seen anyone… or anything like that… *cough* Zhiqiong: Alright, alright, there’s no need to be so strict. I won’t risk provoking them, I know… How did you get in front of us?

• Go to the camp with Zhiqiong

• Talk to Zhiqiong Zhiqiong, Paimon Zhiqiong: *cough* Oh, hello there. Is there something you need? Paimon: You’re coughing away! You sure you’re okay? Zhiqiong: I’m alright, really… The air down here is just kinda thin, which doesn’t sit too well with me. Zhiqiong: Ah, yes. This is the map that I drew earlier… *cough* *cough* Ugh. Well, that feels better. Paimon: Uh, you’d best rest up. Don’t go running around all over the place, now! Speaking of maps, we’ve got one for you as well…

• Go to the gate that Zhiqiong mentioned Muning Muning: What happened? He was absent this morning during the headcount. Where on earth is he? Muning: If the higher-ups find out… I’d be toast. Muning: Ah, you’re here. Good timing… Paimon: What happened? Why are you sighing? Muning: *sigh* To tell you the truth, a miner from our camp went missing. Muning: The Chasm has a complex environment. Though things have stabilized a bit lately, it’s still dangerous deep inside. So, we made it a rule to take a headcount every morning and evening. Muning: Qi Ding — the guy who never misses a chance to brag about his daughter — was absent last night. Muning: During the headcount, other miners said that they had just met him and that he might return very soon. So I let it go. Muning: But this morning, he was still nowhere to be found. Other miners looked evasive, so I pressed them for an honest answer. It turned out that Qi Ding hadn’t returned the whole night… Muning: Now we’re in big trouble. Don’t tell me it’s happening again… What is happening again? Has something similar happened before? Qi Ding Qi Ding: Wh—Where is it? Where is it! Qi Ding: If I can’t find it… *sigh* Paimon: What’s with the strong smell of gunpowder… What are you looking for? Qi Ding: I—I’m looking for a toy, a doll of the size of my palm… Qi Ding: I lost it when I came down into the mine. Do you always bring a toy with you? You brought a toy into the mine? Muning Muning: What happened? He was absent this morning during the headcount. Where on earth is he? Muning: If the higher-ups find out… I’d be toast. Muning: Ah, you’re here. Good timing… Paimon: What happened? Why are you sighing? Muning: *sigh* To tell you the truth, a miner from our camp went missing. Muning: The Chasm has a complex environment. Though things have stabilized a bit lately, it’s still dangerous deep inside. So, we made it a rule to take a headcount every morning and evening. Muning: But we haven’t seen him since last night… Qi Ding? Do you mean the miner who keeps praising his daughter?

• Read the stone tablet

• Talk to Zhiqiong Zhiqiong, Paimon Zhiqiong: #*cough* *cough* Hey, {NICKNAME}, you’re here! *cough* What are you doing here? Found you.

• Open Gate

• Go within the gate to investigate

• Go within the gate to investigate

• Go within the gate to investigate Paimon Paimon: This doesn’t look like a natural cave. It looks like something huge cut right through this place instead… Huh. Actually, “rammed right through” might be more accurate. Paimon: #Y’know, {NICKNAME}… Don’t you think this floating thingy looks rather familiar? This resembles what we saw on top of Dragonspine back then. Paimon: Their… “smell”… or “aura”…? Is pretty similar… Paimon: Whatever it is, it’s really spooky… What have you discovered, Paimon? Paimon Paimon: This doesn’t look like a natural cave. It looks like something huge cut right through this place instead… Huh. Actually, “rammed right through” might be more accurate. Paimon: Whatever it is, it’s really spooky… What have you discovered, Paimon?

• Purify the large crystal

• Talk to Paimon Paimon Paimon: #Hmm… Looks like we’ve come to the bit where we’ve got to “apply some external force to the crystal.” You ready, {NICKNAME}? Are you sure the diagrams on the stone tablet are reliable? Do we really have to…?

• Strike the large purified crystal

• Defeat the monster lurking in The Chasm’s depths

Taliesin Tell of your adventures in The Chasm.

• Talk to Paimon Paimon Paimon: Huh… Is… Is it over? It all kinda feels like a dream… Paimon: Looks like that thing up there has gone back to normal. The air feels less heavy, too. Paimon: Hmm, even though we’ve reached the bottom of The Chasm and even defeated the creature down there somehow… But it doesn’t feel like we’ve answered any questions! Paimon: In fact, we’ve got more questions now than we did before! Paimon: Like for example… What was that thing above us? Why did a giant serpent come roaring out? Where did that dark mud and the strange monsters come from? Paimon: The monsters that followed the dark mud here seemed to be eating at the big crystal, and Zhiqiong mentioned that a Yaksha was here once… Paimon: Agh, this is way too many questions for Paimon! Looks like The Chasm still has many secrets that are yet to be discovered…

• Return to camp and talk to Zhiqiong Zhiqiong, Paimon Zhiqiong: Great, you’re back!Paimon: Yup, we’re back! Zhiqiong: There’ve been several earthquakes ever since you went through that gate. We don’t know what’s going on down there, but we’re glad to see that you’re both okay. Paimon: Well, you don’t look too bad yourself. Looks like the rest helped, eh? How are things on your end? Zhiqiong, Paimon Zhiqiong: Great, you’re back! Paimon: Yup, we’re back! Zhiqiong: There’ve been several earthquakes ever since you went through that gate. We don’t know what’s going on down there, but we’re glad to see that you’re both okay. Paimon: Well, you don’t look too bad yourself. Looks like the rest helped, eh? How are things on your end?

• Report back to Muning Clitopho, Paimon Clitopho: Thanks for saving me! I was beginning to think that I might become dog food at this rate… You lot keep dogs? Ah, what a shame that we don’t keep dogs either. Muning, Paimon Muning: #You’re back, {NICKNAME}! How did things go? There’s good news to be had from underground, I hope?: You tell Muning everything… Muning: Hahaha! See what I told you? The exploration team were a reliable lot, and the expedition was bound to be fruitful! Muning: I have received the ore samples and data that Khedive and Jinwu have gathered. The unknown matter is in full retreat, and the geological shifts have largely ceased…. Muning: …It’s a good omen indeed. Thanks to your help, the Millelith have also expressed no objections to our plans for further exploration and restoration. In fact, they should be getting ready to descend into the mine themselves… Sorry, did you say something before? I don’t remember you expressing such effusive support before.
