Note: These quests can only be completed once.

Detergent Shortage

Requirements: Must have completed the 'Faces in the Foam' quest.

Let's get this tour over with. Welcome to the Sunlight Zone, where we receive new researchers and their visiting families. Please head to the room on the right. That's where we fit you with the right uniforms, safety equipment, and card key. Tsk, the Blighted Water Elementals slipped through again. Mop them up so Dr. Mostyma and Tara's equipment won't get soiled.

+ When Completed

They're the same Elementals you've seen on the beaches of Ashray. Despite our engineers' best efforts, they keep finding cracks to slip through. I have a theory that they're hostile because a large number of land dwellers have encroached on their territory. They've been attacking us since before they turned that shade of green, so it can't just be Kathool's influence. Especially considering that it's asleep.

Items Required:

• Stale Seawater x8
  • Dropped by Blighted Water

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Ghost in the Machine

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

We need to take a detour. I just received a message about ghosts causing tech malfunctions. Return to the entrance and proceed left down the hallway. The Spectral Jellyfish can only be kept out using magic, which means I have to see to strengthening the spells keeping the barrier up. Fight off the Jellyfish, and ignore any strange messages on the screens. They're…hallucinations caused by the ghosts.

+ When Completed

You're curious about the screens? They're giving updates on the state of the Sea Base's security system. Working in the immediate vicinity of Kathool means that we are under constant threat of psychic attacks. The Security System is built to protect our minds, like how the magic barrier hides our location. These screens monitor the amount of strain on the system. 100% down to 60% is a safe range.

Items Required:

• Jelly Bells x8
  • Dropped by Spectral Jellyfish (Level 61)

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Efficient Division

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

I-I see…clearing the hall of ghosts didn't fix the screen. Shh, take Tara to the lounge at the end of the hall. The "Help Me" message is disturbing her and the other researchers. Talk to Indradeep and Iseul. They should be there, and they can explain the different divisions of the Base while they make a treat to calm Tara's nerves. Stop the Blighted Water from leaking into the lounge while you're at it.

+ When Completed

Iseul and Indradeep only arrived a couple of months before you, but have been effective in protecting the other researchers. I would rather they be able to focus on their work. That's why I'm keeping you around for menial no-brain tasks. As for Dr. Mostyma, what did he specialize in again? I was under the impression that he was a medical expert, but he's…ripping one of the screens off the wall.

Items Required:

• Mopped Water x6
  • Dropped by Blighted Water
• Talk to Indradeep x1
  • Talk to Indradeep Sharma
• Talk to Iseul x1
  • Talk to Iseul Kim

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Tech Illiterate

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Caesar offered suggestions to reinforce our apparently 'abysmal' architecture. He's already ordered his peers to fetch him tools, and they've scampered off to do just that. Fine. Might as well. Exorcize the Jellyfish so they won't distract Caesar from his voluntary work. You're his assistant, aren't you? Get to it, and examine the screens for him. He seems to have less experience with wiring than with blueprints.

+ When Completed

The 'suggestions' Caesar listed to improve the Base's structure read more like demands…but I can't deny that he made fixes our staff needed months to see. It would prevent a majority of intrusions, but he needs digital manuals to understand the Security System. Only the Head Researcher can approve of that… especially considering the amount of waste that transcribing them all to physical paper would produce.

Items Required:

• Jelly Filling x6
  • Dropped by Spectral Jellyfish (Level 61)
• Screen Examined x3
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screen 2

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Plugging Leaks

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Dr. Caesar Mostyma should have taken up forging or engineering. He's made many improvements to the base's defenses in a short amount of time. I wish he wouldn't bark orders at the staff like a drill sergeant, but they're falling in line on the spot. Make yourself useful and get rid of any remaining Jellyfish and Elementals as Caesar seals the cracks in our defenses. We can continue the tour into the gardens afterwards.

+ When Completed

The lounge is where the Base's staff can relax with their visiting families. Iseul and Indradeep were able to keep the vermin out on their own, but I suppose you gave them time to actually rest during their break. Beyond the glass doors are the artificial gardens, where we encourage staff members to walk in the sunlight. Mi and Fa should be back from their shifts. We'll meet them, but don't drag them into our mess.

Items Required:

• Stinging Tentacles x6
  • Dropped by Spectral Jellyfish (Level 61)
• Grainy Water x8
  • Dropped by Blighted Water

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Shared History

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Don't just go out there blindly swinging your weapon. The monsters you see out there could be innocent people. Even asleep, Kathool's presence causes dreams and hallucinations that feel viscerally real. For now, go as far as you can down both the left and right pathways, and tell me what you see. Wait, there's something here too? Tara pointed out a torn page by the dark rocks. What the…Read it, quickly.

+ When Completed

Another journal entry? Don't look at me like that. We examined the obelisks, and it wasn't there before. I should be the one asking if you planted the page behind my back! We can interrogate each other later. What did you see in the artificial gardens and cabins? …That's a far lower number of intruders than in previous incidents. I hate to admit it, but Caesar's improvements to the base continue to impress.

Items Required:

• Explore the Left Path x1
  • Go to Screen 7
• Explore the Right Path x1
  • Go to Screen 9
• Torn Page Read x1
  • Read the Torn Page on Screen 5

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Flat Scares

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Based on your descriptions, the monsters you encountered are illusions targeted at specific individuals. Good. Rather than innocent people we're hallucinating as monsters, they're sea creatures or elementals that we're seeing as…old nightmares. Head left to the cabins first, and talk to Fa. Help her dispel the Astravian Illusions. Yes, I know my knees are shaking, but they're just images. Not what actually scares me.

+ When Completed

If you ask me how I'm doing one more time, I'll sew your lips together in your sleep. Did Fa mention how… blunt these illusions were? I was under the impression that Kathool's abilities were more subtle- but most incidents made it feel like upsetting memories were plucked out of our minds. There's no setup, as if it thinks it's just the image that scares us. For an ancient of that sort…it doesn't sound right.

Items Required:

• Astravian Dispelled x10
  • Dropped by Astravian Illusion
• Talk to Fa x1
  • Talk to Fa (NPC)

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Fishy Bully

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The illusions are targeting Princess Tara too, but she says she's just annoyed by them. I hope she isn't forcing herself to be strong. These Infernal Illusions resemble the creatures I've read about… but they're missing eyes. I see, they're based on Infernal Mockeries instead of the actual creatures. Dispel them, and rescue any Seabase Undine visitor you see in the cabins or gardens. Many aren't familiar with the drills or panic rooms.

+ When Completed

That should be all of the stragglers… Thank you, I suppose. I spoke with Tara about the Infernal Illusions as well. They aren't based on real Infernals, but of mockeries that were created by something else as a form of bullying. It lends credence to the theory that these illusions were created rather thoughtlessly. And despite Caesar's initial disinterest on the subject, he tried to listen in on our conversation.

Items Required:

• Infernal Dispelled x10
  • Dropped by Infernal Illusion
• Visitor Rescued x3
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screens 6, 7, 8, and 9

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Faint Howls

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Mi is in the gardens, looking out for any children hiding in the bushes, and using their music to help dispel the illusions. Talk to them, and make sure they aren't overexerting themselves. The remaining illusions near Mi are… they're dressed like my mother. Why are they here? Are these memories from me, or someone else? Get rid of them and hurry. They seem to be agitating Caesar.

+ When Completed

Did Dr. Mostyma work with the Seraphic Paladins in the past? He has some experience with tech. While he was making improvements to Undine's security, it became clear he had a strong grasp of wiring and coding. But, his studies did not proceed further than just beyond the basics. I wonder if someone was teaching him. The Seraphs, they're… Perhaps the Seraphic Illusions were targeted at Caesar.

Items Required:

• Talk to Mi x1
  • Talk to Mi Calistege
• Seraph Dispelled x10
  • Dropped by Seraphic Illusion

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Down the Digestive Tract

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

We have a major issue. Caesar's adjustments to the Sunlight Zone's structure minimized the number of intrusions - so much so that it lessened the strain on Sparagmos. The hallucinations are subsiding, revealing a more dangerous elemental trying to break into the lower floors. I've allowed you access to the far end of the Sunlight Zone. Get over there and stop it before it gets any farther!

+ When Completed

It's over, Sparagmos has risen back to 60% working capacity. The Sunlight Zone has been cleared of all intruders, and none of the panic rooms were breached. Casualties are zero. Ah, there's no time to rest. I need to tend to the researcher's injuries, review the holes in security, and autopsy the intruders if their bodies happen to stay solid - wait… I'm receiving a call from the Head Researcher!

Items Required:

• Marine Snow Defeated x1
  • Dropped by Marine Snow

Rewards:

• 18,000 Gold
• 45,000 Exp

Requirement: Must have completed the 'Down the Digestive Tract' quest.

Suckers for Supper

No, I don't deserve to…I don't need to rest. What you said about the twisted Elemental that broke into the Sunlight Zone stuck out to me. It does look like it swallowed the tentacles growing out of its face. If you're going to keep bothering me, then be of use. Help me examine samples of the Illusions and the evolved Seafoam Elemental… Actually, I'll call this new form Marine Snow.

+ When Completed

Just as hypothesized, there is a higher concentration of dissolved organic matter inside the Marine Snow and the Illusions. It matches the sample of Kathool we harvested. That was an operation Dr. Noelle pushed hard for, and cost us many lives. Our staff are willing to risk themselves, if that means finding ways to protect Lore from another Mana Crisis but…I need to do everything I can to prevent more losses.

Items Required:

• Marine Sample x1 (Stacks up to 5)
  • Dropped by Marine Snow
• Infernal Sample x10 (Stacks up to 50)
  • Dropped by Infernal Illusion
• Seraphic Sample x10 (Stacks up to 50)
  • Dropped by Seraphic Illusion

Quest Location: Abyssal Zone
Quests Begun From: Dr. Song Rivale
Requirements: Must have completed the 'Roko's Royal Basilisk' quest.
Note: These quests can only be completed once.

Shark Kiting

Our most pressing objective is to reconnect the fuel lines to keep Sparagmos operational. Debrief and talk with Fa, she has the most experience doing maintenance in the Abyssal Zone. Once you're both ready, we need to clear out the Kitefin Shark Bait. It's strange. They've never gotten inside the base before or have shown that they've wanted to. The Shark Bait usually stick to the sea floor, or flee to Ashray.

+ When Completed

I watched the Shark Bait's behavior while you were fighting them. They're here because of Kathool. That monster is awake, and the creatures of the deep sea are fleeing the depths to escape. They've taken to slipping inside the Abyssal Zone in a panic, which they've never been able to do before. The situation's worse than I thought. Kathool's movements must have punched holes into the Abyssal Zone's walls.

Items Required:

• Shark Fin x8
  • Dropped by Kitefin Shark Bait (Level 63)
• Talk to Fa x1
  • Talk to Fa (NPC)

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Suckered Blockade

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Did you see the fuel lines running up the walls? Help me inspect them for damage. Fa will keep the hall quiet while we're busy. Go as far down the hall as you can. If we're lucky, we'll see what caused the fuel lines to disconnect. When you're done, we'll have to acknowledge the giant tentacled elephant in the room. Keep your distance, but examine the tentacles that snaked their way into the area. They likely belong to Kathool.

+ When Completed

None of the fuel lines in these rooms are damaged, which means we need to proceed deeper to find the leak. The problem is, we're going to be proceeding on Kathool's terms. It blocked off the usual way Fa takes to find the rest of the fuel lines. The only way down is through the hole it broke into the floor. Ah look, it's allowing us to use one of its tentacles as a ladder. How…conscientious.

Items Required:

• Fuel Line Inspected x6
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screens 2 and 3
• Tentacle Examined x1
  • Click on the blue arrow on Screen 3

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Digestive Fluids

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

I fear the longer we dawdle, the faster Sparagmos runs out of fuel and leaves us vulnerable. We have no choice but to go down that tentacle ladder to make progress. Take the utmost amount of care. There's no electrical lighting down there, and I hear the sound of violently churning waves. It's the Blighted Water Elementals. They've infested these hidden chambers of the Abyssal Zone. We need to drain the rooms to be able to proceed safely!

+ When Completed

Fa and I are soaked, but no worse for wear… Thank you, I suppose. As for those Blighted Water Elementals, they weren't aggressive because of our presence. Based on their behavior, they're excited because Kathool's tentacles are moving around. This entire time, I thought the water elementals were tainted by Kathool's influence. That's not the case. They're seeking out Kathool's tendrils, and are attempting to absorb them.

Items Required:

• Saturated Blight Water x8
  • Dropped by Blighted Water (Level 63)

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Sodden Secrets

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

I've never seen these rooms before, and Fa said that there aren't any man-made exits or entrances. Just the new pathways Kathool made by breaking open the floors and walls. There are murals on the wall, and even if this is what Kathool wants, we should inspect them. Be careful, shadowy creatures are seeping into the room. I want you and Fa to collect samples. They're Sparagmos' fuel, but they resemble the description on one of the murals.

+ When Completed

The murals depict the Temple as a place of worship dedicated to Neso, the Avatar of Water. We were aware of this already. But in ancient times, a giant Darkness Elemental attacked them. They tore this colossal Elemental in two by using a weapon built into the Temple. The fuel for this weapon was a Champion of Water named…Undine? Then, they began to use the remains of the colossal Elemental to continue powering their weapon…fuel.

Items Required:

• Shadow Sample x7
  • Dropped by Shadow Viscera (Level 63)
• Mural Plaque Inspected x3
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screens 4, 5 and 6

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

The Hidden Corpse

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Please help Fa fight off and capture the Shadow Viscera and the Blighted Water Elementals. The longer we remain here, the more violent they become. Just hold them off for a little longer so they won't get near the murals. I'm uncovering the larger picture, the truth that Kathool wants us to see. It is absolutely intending for us to be harmed by the truth but we have to confront it. The Elves, Lady Neso, and perhaps even Swordhaven wanted this hidden for a reason.

+ When Completed

The Temple of Water is Seabase Undine. It is enchanted with songs that lure in Neso's enemies, and houses a weapon to destroy them with. That weapon, known as the Drowning Machine, currently uses fuel made from a slain colossal Darkness Elemental. The Shadow Viscera is that fuel, the same fluid Sparagmos is using to fight off Kathool… no, the Drowning Machine and Sparagmos are the same. The Queen and Dr. Noelle knew this the entire time!

Items Required:

• Shadow Organs x6
  • Dropped by Shadow Viscera (Level 63)
• Decayed Elemental Gem x6
  • Dropped by Blighted Water (Level 63)

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Octo-Flake Fish Feed

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

If the Queen and Dr. Noelle knew more about the Temple than they were willing to share, just what else were they hiding? I can't believe I was strung along…We need to get out of here as soon as possible. Just like before, more sealife infiltrated the Abyssal Zone because of the damage caused by Kathool. This time…they're smaller Elementals. Hurry, we'll exterminate these Foam Scavengers, and scout ahead.

+ When Completed

We took an essential detour, but Fa says we're back on the right track. You can both find the rest of the fuel lines without distraction. That being said, those Foam Scavengers only attacked us because we disturbed them. They look like smaller versions of the Seafoam Elemental that broke into our submarine. So this is why they turn into Marine Snow. Kathool isn't influencing them. The elementals are intentionally seeking and feeding on its tentacles.

Items Required:

• Foamy Residue x10
  • Dropped by Foam Scavenger
• Scout Further Ahead x1
  • Go to Screen 10

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Completely Surrounded

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

There's one more mural in this area. Even though Fa has passed it by every time she's done maintenance in the Abyssal zone, it could hold new meaning with what we've learned. Help me examine it, and the remaining fuel lines nearby. If you see any monsters nearby, no matter how alarming they look, ignore them. For now, they're distracted by Kathool's intrusion.

+ When Completed

There's no notable damage to the fuel lines. I can only conclude that instead of physically damaging them, Dr. Noelle is obstructing the line from the Trench Deck. She's using some built-in mechanism to block the fuel. As for the mural, it's worrisome. The Water Elementals have dissolved organic matter inside them. They're feeding on Kathool. If those who dissolve into seafoam add to Neso's power, then we are literally submerged in an immense foe.

Items Required:

• Fuel Line Examined x6
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screens 7 and 9
• Mural Plaque Examined x1
  • Click on the blue arrow on Screen 8

Rewards:

• 5,000 Exp

Sea Salt Soap

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The larger monsters are on the move. Fa didn't see them the last time she visited the Abyssal zone. Orange antlers protrude from their body. They look like coral… or the same horns that the Water Elves in the mural had. I feel the Temple shifting from Kathool's tentacles. It's like the rumble of a chuckle. These monsters are here because of Kathool. Please, destroy them. They…they're wrong. These things shouldn't exist!

+ When Completed

These monsters aren't hallucinations. They were created with elemental water magic, using the remains of Water Elves. Kathool molded monsters out of adipocere to prove a point; to show me how stupid and naive I was. I understand now. These remains aren't recent, but they aren't ancient, either. All of the Ashray are gone. They were wiped out a year or two before I arrived with my family… right before Queen Victoria sent researchers to Undine.

Items Required:

• Waxy Adipocere x4
  • Dropped by Necro Adipocere

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

In the Grip of Justice

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

At the end of this corridor is an obelisk flanked by two doors. I couldn't fix the fuel lines, but at least I can repair the way back to the Midnight Zone. The door on the left leads back to Sparagmos, where we'll tell the others what we've learned. Clear the last of the monsters in the area while I work, and take a look at the obelisk. I imagine there will be a journal here, tucked away by Miss Aquella. You…I'm sorry that your search ended this way.

+ When Completed

What was in that journal? Show me, now! …Kathool was the least of our worries. Why did I always assume that the forces of Swordhaven found the Temple themselves? It was given to them by the organization that massacred the Water Elves! You, me, the researchers, even Dage and Kathool…We were dancing on the palm of the Jus Divinum! Get back to Sparagmos! This was all a trap to sacrifice The Beast to kill Kathool!

Items Required:

• Necro Wax x3
  • Dropped by Necro Adipocere
• Scavenger Tentacle x7
  • Dropped by Foam Scavenger
• Joumal Read x1
  • Read the Journal on Screen 10

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Together as One

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Kathool created an amalgamation of Water Elf remains to speak and harm us through. Now that Kathool's awake, it only took a fraction of its power to throw us into complete disarray. I don't want to think about what could happen if you don't hold it off! Hurry! I can shoulder the weight of Kathool's attacks with Dage ,but argh! Not for long. Defeat The Ashray's remains! Hurry! Dage said he needed ten minutes, but we can't last!

+ When Completed

Kathool made me see my dad. Darkon said that I was completely innocent and that he was evil for taking advantage of our family. No, my dad was a hero. I was the one who didn't stop him. I wanted blood even though the Queen, the researchers, and even you have been protecting us. I won't let my dad be Evil. That's all on me and I won't let myself get away with what I've done.

Items Required:

• The Ashray Vanquished x1

Rewards:

Burial at Sea

The A.I. needs some time to go over the Trench's blueprints to safely guide us. While they're working on that, I'm thinking of what we should do about The Ashray. This is all that remains of their people, and it feels wrong to leave them where they lay. If you would, please help me gather The Ashray's remains so we can store them somewhere safe. The base does have a morgue… When we're finally safe, I want to lay them to rest.

+ When Completed

Again, thank you for this. I wouldn't have been able to gather them on my own. Back in Astravia, I wasn't able to lay my teachers or friends to rest because I had to run from Drago. It's one of the things keeping me awake at night, and I don't want to add more to that long list. Aquella was one of the Elves, and you only got to know her through her journals. She didn't deserve this fate, and I'll confront Queen Victoria to ask why this happened.

Unsung Heroes

Dr. Noelle has been working alone in the Trench Observation Deck, or so I thought. The ghosts of Sea Base Undine still believe in her and the greater good. They'll cause all sorts of problems if left alone, and I want them to move on from this terrible dark place. Talk with Fa and exorcize the wraiths how you usually do. If they still have their I.D. cards, give them to me. I want to know who else has been suckered into Dr. Noelle's promises.

+ When Completed

There are some names I recognize, and some I'm not familiar with at all. Every researcher is screened and invited to Undine by the Queen and Doctor Noelle. Everyone knew the risks, but rushed to their deaths because they believed it would make a difference. That their loved ones would get to see a tomorrow without darkness. This entire time, we were building our peace on the graves of the innocent, and adding to its funeral mound.

Items Required:

• Wraith ID Card x8
  • Dropped by Venerated Wraith (Level 63)
• Talk to Fa x1
  • Talk to Fa (NPC)

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Watertight Guarantee

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Sparagmos Lycegenes warned us about armed turrets in the Trench Observation Deck. Those weren't here the last time I visited Dr. Noelle. I brought them here from Astravia to protect the outer walls of Undine. She must have had them built into the Deck behind my back. You and Fa dismantle them, and scout as far as you can. If you hit a dead end, stop and come back to me.

+ When Completed

The second half of the Trench Observation Deck is beyond the sealed door you found. It's been completely exposed to the ocean and Kathool.▸ However, Dr. Noelle is nowhere in sight. That sealed door isn't there to keep the water out. It's there to keep us from following after her. She's out there with Kathool. I need to find a way to carefully open the door without collapsing the rest of the Deck and the Base along with it.

Items Required:

• Turret Screws x8
  • Dropped by Seabase Turret
• Explore Deck x1
  • Go to Screen 4

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Core Electrolytes

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

While I find a way to open the door to the outside as carefully as possible, go look at the dry leylines. You visited the Mana Core, yes? If you and Fa take this time to look closer, we could find more clues to help us figure out how it was tampered with. If it was Neso, how did she drain the leylines completely unnoticed? And what happens when something like an Avatar gets access to Core Mana?

+ When Completed

There are multiple leyline nodes, suggesting that there could be more outside of the Base. Neso may have drained the lines from afar using her Water Elementals. It's too early to draw conclusions, but being powered by this mana could explain how they can survive consuming parts of Kathool. Oh? There were Darkness Elementals in the Mana Core for some reason? Hmm, if that happened a long time ago… that could explain the Colossal Elemental.

Items Required:

• Leylines Inspected x4
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screens 1, 2, 3 and 4

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Guardian Spirits

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

I need more time to figure out how the door is being sealed, but our continued presence is agitating the ghosts haunting the Trench. How are there so many? Unless, they keep returning even after you've tried to appease them. Their devotion is pure, and I hate the idea that Dr. Noelle is weaponizing them for her own aims. Please help Fa continue to exorcize the wraiths and keep them from distracting me.

+ When Completed

When Drago killed my mother, it was through a coup supported by Astravians who hated her and any other Outsider that dared to call their land home. Before that, I drifted my entire life, treated like a monster or kept like a curiosity in a circus. I was convinced that there was nothing good left in Lore. Then I came here, was accepted and loved, only to be one of the reasons why these ghosts still linger. I have to fix this. I have to make things right.

Items Required:

• Wraith Exorcized x10
  • Dropped by Venerated Wraith (Level 63)

Rewards:

Enemy in Need

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

I've determined that the door is being held shut by a power source! Up the stairs is the First Observation Landing. It's where Dr. Ganx, or rather, Xang, is being held and drained by another pedestal fixture. We need to get up the stairs, disarm the turrets guarding her, and remove the wires from her body. There is a high chance she'll attack you the moment she's freed, so keep your guard up.

+ When Completed

It was obvious who Dr. Ganx was the moment she walked up to me, but Dr. Noelle assured me that there were plans in place. She wasn't lying, but I didn't think she meant to capture Xang and use her as another battery. All of the information leaks were on purpose to lure people like her into the depths.

Items Required:

  • Dropped by Seabase Turret

Here Lies Shadow

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

With Xang unhooked from the wires, there's nothing powering the door mechanism to keep it sealed. We'll head outside and explore as far as we can. Talk to Xang to make sure she won't just touch anything that looks funny. We need to approach the bottom of the Trench carefully. If you see anything suspicious - which is likely to be everything - report back and let me know what you find so the Sparagmos A.I. can determine if it's safe to proceed.

+ When Completed

Surrounding the bottom of Seabase Undine is the dead body of a colossal darkness elemental, according to the account of the Water Elves. The Sparagmos A.I. are scanning it and determined that it's something else. Not Darkness… You're saying it's like the creatures you fought in the New Temple of Light? Hmm. The colossal creature is inert and isn't a threat. The real danger is the tentacle at the edge of the cliff beckoning to us.

Items Required:

• Talk to Xang x1
  • Talk to Xang
• Colossus Inspected x2
  • Click on the blue arrows on Screen 6 and 7
• Tentacle Inspected x1

Nature's White Noise

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

We've been surrounded by ghosts. Not the wraiths that used to be Undine Researchers. These spirits floating outside are older and angrier, aiming to pull us into the depths and crush us with the full force of the sea. They aren't willing to pass on, so you need to wipe them out! We won't be able to proceed or even retreat with them yanking on our limbs.

+ When Completed

These spirits were created by Neso. I studied her before we traveled to Ashray to understand Greenguard's customs better. In the days of old, mortals favored by Neso were prevented from moving on to the afterlife. Instead, they continue to serve her and spread her influence as jellyfish. It's greedy of her to claim these souls for herself. They adore her, and the sentiment is returned, but she treats them like her belongings instead of as people.

Items Required:

• Spirit Bell x10
  • Dropped by Sea Spirit

Rewards:

• 72,000 Exp

Dreams Seep into Reality

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The Sea Spirits are swarming. We can't fight them all without risking the foundations of the Sea Base. There isn't any other choice. Climb down the tentacle at the edge of the cliff and descend into the trench. I looked down there and there were more of those waxy Adipocere creations waiting for us. You, Xang, and Fa need to fight them… and keep Xang from stealing the horns to use as accessories.

+ When Completed

The walls of this trench are made from the same waxy substance as the Adipocere creatures. Coral horns are even growing from them. This has to be Kathool's influence growing as we approach it. They aren't hallucinations anymore… Kathool is using our fears to terraform the seafloor. If it continues, it'll reach the surface! Or, Neso will take this ability from Kathool and use it for herself.

Items Required:

• Coral Horn x3
  • Dropped by Necro Adipocere (Version 2)

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

Hadal Havoc

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The spirits and adipocere creatures twitch and jump erratically as we near the bottom of the Trench. That's where Kathool is, and it has to be where Neso and Dr. Noelle are… consuming it. This is the final stretch, the furthest anyone has gone into the ocean. Fight off the Sea Spirits, and the Necro Adipocere, and find Dr. Noelle. If there is anything human left of her, I want to try to talk Dr. Noelle out of this mistake.

+ When Completed

Dr. Noelle… she hasn't changed much since we last met in person. Her mutations kept her wheelchair bound until mobility became completely impossible. Until we could find treatments through our research and earn forgiveness from the Queen, this was where she would stay. Her mutations have become aggravated from consuming Kathool's flesh. I fear that talking isn't on the table anymore.

Items Required:

• Waxen Limb x3
  • Dropped by Necro Adipocere (Version 2)
• Spirit Stinger x7
  • Dropped by Sea Spirit
• Find Dr. Noelle x1
  • Go to Screen 9

Rewards:

• 15,000 Gold
• 72,000 Exp

See You on the Other Side

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Dr. Noelle won't let me talk to her. She tries to use the abilities she gained from consuming Kathool's flesh to entice me to continue helping her. We can't let this go on. You, Fa, and Xang have to fight and remove her from the wall. While you have her distracted, I'm going to climb over and confront Kathool. I have no hope of defeating it on my own, but if you can keep its interest trained on the fight… I have a final solution ready.

+ When Completed

I will never earn forgiveness. I don't deserve forgiveness. So my death has to mean something.

Items Required:

• Lady Noelle Defeated x1
  • Dropped by Lady Noelle

Rewards:

• 30,000 Gold
• 144,000 Exp

Quests Begun From: Dr. Song Rivale
Requirement: Must have completed the 'See You on the Other Side' quest.

Undine's Dredge

The sea should have been left well alone, but Swordhaven has left its mark. While we're here, would you please help me collect Dr. Noelle's belongings? | will… bring them home when it's all over. The Sea Spirits and Necro Adipocere weren't meant to rest here either. Gather them together. This may not make much of a difference, but it won't make the seafloor worse than it is.

+ When Completed

Dr. Noelle wanted to return home. Despite everything, I can't just leave her here to rot. As for the Elves, the darkness may be trapped in the depths of the sea, but Aquella and her people deserve to be free. Maybe the Sunlight Zone will do. It's too late to take back our choices; the Queen's and mine. It's time to stop wallowing. I won't ever get forgiveness, but I want to make others happy and safe. That's enough for me to continue living.
