Dialogue

Accepting the quest - cutscene

Kazagg Chah: [Player]. It is well you are here. My colleagues Dozol Meloc and Da Za would have words with you. Wait here while I fetch them.
Dozol Meloc: To close voidgate, strong black magic you need. Ready for test, are you?

Are you ready to close the voidgate?

• Yes

[?]

• No

Dozol Meloc: Fool! Squaaawk! But no matter. Sharp sense, Dozol has. Your aura. Strangeness, it has.

Dozol Meloc: Now, the voidgate. Gloom, it makes. Like black breath. Gloom drawn to black magic. Drawn to you. Like moth to flame. Black magic, it seeks, to corrupt and make own.
Dozol Meloc: Losing strength, seal is. Black magic and voidgate share bond. Very deep. But must not leave be too long. Else other side maybe take you! Squaw-aw-awk.
Dozol Meloc: No fear yet! Still weak, Gloom is. Time, you have. Strong [Player] find next key!
Dozol Meloc: Teach you, Dozol will, what must do.
Dozol Meloc: Many black mages, there were. Long ago. One more powerful than rest. Very powerful. Epic, even. Epic black mage.
Dozol Meloc: Black magic too powerful. Too dangerous. Wrong hands must not have. Know this, he did. Ciphered spells. Hid secrets. Dark way passed to few. Very few.
Dozol Meloc: Teaching, writing, spread over realm. Lost to time, they were. Forgotten. One carved in stone. Stone of mossy pillar. Pillar in South Shroud. Squaaawk!
Dozol Meloc: Chosen [Player] is chosen! Unleash power of this black magic, you can. Key, it is! Key to end of Gloom!
Dozol Meloc: Knowledge of my line, this is. Passed to Dozol from mother. From mother of mother. From mother of mother of mother. Four hatchings past. Strong mage, she was. Epic, even. Epic mage!
Dozol Meloc: Great love for dark art. More than anything. Joined with lizardmen to learn all. Named betrayer, she was. Chased from village. Squaaawk! Her words, Dozol keeps. Teach to strong [Player] now.
Dozol Meloc: "Four magi meet, in barren land,
Old black powers have they, in hand.
Fate of all wicked, be made stark.
Path to light then lit by squaaawk!"
That her squawk. Not Dozol squawk. Should be dark, Dozol thinks.
Dozol Meloc: Good words. Deep words. Bring Dozol here, they did. To pass on. Not Dozol alone. Others come too. Other mages.
Dozol Meloc: Birdman. Lizardman. No matter. All wait for strong [Player]. Strong mind, you have, and heart. Help you, Dozol will.
Dozol Meloc: Go to Gridania, you must. To Urth's Gift. Near pillar lurking beasts, there are. Slay them, you must. No need fear beast. Strong [Player] is strong!
Dozol Meloc: Da Za! Squaaawk!
269th Order Mendicant Da Za: I, too, am here to lend you my aid——help, hand, aid.
Dozol Meloc: Wood danger for Dozol. For Ixal, Wailers wait. Wait with sharp spears. Go in place of Dozol, Da Za will.
Dozol Meloc: Decided, it is. Go now, you will! Squaaawk!

Interacting with the stone pillar

System: A stone pillar covered in moss rises here.
System: The Gem of Shatotto shines bright, revealing an inscription in the stone. As you approach it, you hear a voice ring out...
???: By the gem thou bearest shall the great and dark power of eld be bestowed upon thee. But those who seek this power must first prove their worth. Behold, the Gloom that would be thine undoing cometh!
???: Stay the Gloom's encroach by thy hand. Only then shall the umbral wisdom of the ages be gifted unto thee.
269th Order Mendicant Da Za: That voice spoke true. Look! The Gloom gathers, [Player]. I sense there are fiends of evil about——nearby, close, about.

Solo duty

269th Order Mendicant Da Za: The Gloom will change into great horrors if left unchecked. You must stop it with your black magic——spells, sorcery, magic.
269th Order Mendicant Da Za: The Gloom has birthed fiends, [Player]. Be careful——cautious, wary, careful.
269th Order Mendicant Da Za: More fiends come! Worry not, the tide will turn——shift, change, turn.
269th Order Mendicant Da Za: Do not falter, [Player]! We must endure——rally, persevere, endure!

Speaking to 269th Order Mendicant Da Za

269th Order Mendicant Da Za: Well fought! The Gloom is scattered! Scattered is the Gloom!
269th Order Mendicant Da Za: Let us return to Burgundy Falls. Yes, yes, Dozol Meloc awaits us——you, me, us.

Reporting back to Dozol Meloc

Dozol Meloc: Gone from you, Gloom is. Worry for nothing, Dozol did!
Dozol Meloc: Squaaawk! Now go see Kazagg Chah, you must. Awaiting you, he is.

Reporting back to Kazagg Chah

Kazagg Chah: The gods are good to return you unharmed. The Gloom which threatened to taint this world does so no more. And I sense the darkness within you is reborn with a new power.
Kazagg Chah: Wield it well, [Player] of the black, and make of it a tool for our ends. Do that, and as the prophecy speaks, the way to light shall be lit by dark before you.
