Quest - Nest of Insects[]
1.Unreliable Looks[]
Urg... Will this wound never heal? What? Who are you? Aha! So, you came here to destroy the Nest of Insects at the request of Master Narayan. Many adventurers have passed by as I rested here recovering from my injury. Of course, I never heard from any of them again. Everybody ignored my warnings... ~ You're here to help me, are you? I don't know that I can trust your skills. We've just met, and the insects are formidable opponents. To prove your abilities, go kill the Mantis near the entrance of the Nest of Insects. Let's see if you're as mighty as you say, or just another fool.
Mission: Kill Mantis x25
~
Atta boy, looks like you can handle yourself in a fight. I apologize for underestimating you. I guess you won't die a meaningless death like the others.
Reward:
- Experience: 13,500
- Gold: 50,000
- Item: Ambrosia x5
2.Population Control[]
When you enter the Nest of Insects, go past the Small Plaza to get to the Ant Tunnel. Tons of giant ants crawl around there. They're diligent, just like real ants. Without them, there is no way the Nest of Insects would have expanded this big. If we destroy some of those ants, we can probably put a stop to the Nest's rapid expansion. ~ Get rid of the Worker Ants and Soldier Ants. As evidence of their deaths, bring me the Ant Antenna.
Mission: Ant Antenna x25
~
Oh, good job. Let me see those... These bring back memories of my comrades who were killed by these disgusting ants... Please, excuse me. I seem to be... I'd rather not share my tears with you. Where can these ants be coming from... Just before you got here, I saw a lady in a strange outfit venture into the nest alone. I could sense a strange aura about her, so I let her be. She's probably shared in the same fate as my comrades at this point...
Reward:
- Experience: 18,000
- Gold: 55,000
- Item: Insect Equipment Box x5
3.Amazingly Fertile[]
Anyway, just stomping on ant underlings isn't enough. As long as the Queen Ants keep pumping out larvae, the insects will thrive. Even though they are called queens, they possess more wicked strength than their children. The sickles that Queen Ants have are deadlier than the weapons that lesser ants carry. ~ Kill all the Queen Ants. Bring me the Queen Ants' Legs as evidence. HINT: You can find the Queen Ants in the Ant Tunnel.
Mission: Queen Ant's Leg x10
~
Whew, these are some ugly looking legs. It pains me to think how many corpses these legs have trampled over.
Reward:
- Experience: 18,000
- Gold: 55,000
- Item: Auto-Battle License [II](1 day) x2
4.Disgusting Larva[]
Now that you've struck a blow against the ants, it's time we did something about the wasps that live in the next tunnel system. When you enter the Wasp Nest, you will find some very disgusting larvae. They are the Wasp Larvae. My comrades and I destroyed quite a few ants, but we had a hard time fighting those larvae. ~ When they mature, they will transform into the deadly wasps that fly about here. We'd best cut them down while they're still young. Go hunt the Wasp Larvae. HINT: You can find the Wasp Larvae in the Wasp Nest.
Mission: Kill Wasp Larva x20
~
Good job. It's upsetting to think what would have happened had all those larvae reached maturity...
Reward:
- Experience: 18,000
- Gold: 55,000
- Item: Life Potion[II] x7
5.Poison Can Be Medicine[]
While the ants are working on the expansion, maintenance, and repair of the Nest of Insects, the wasps provide food by hunting and killing nearby animals. In my whole life, I've never seen this kind of symbiotic relationship before. Anyway, those giant Wasps are a powerful force. On top of that, their poison is much stronger than regular wasps.' ~ I suspect we can find some other use for those deadly poisons. While you are hunting Wasps, can you bring me the Wasp Poison? HINT: You can find Wasps in the Wasp Nest.
Mission: Wasp Poison x10
~
Atta boy! You made it back safely. Their poison didn't slow you down, did it?
Reward:
- Experience: 19,800
- Gold: 60,000
- Item: Ambrosia x5
6.It Can't Be...[]
Wasps are born from the Queen Wasps. As you did with the ants, you have to kill all of the queen wasps that you see. One thing you have to remember is that, unlike the ants, the Queen Wasps have a similar appearance to human beings. Remind yourself that they are not, and kill them without mercy. ~ It's enough to make one think that these creatures once were humans, transformed by a terrible magic, but... Anyway, before I fluster you any further, go kill Queen Wasps. (You can find Queen Wasps in the Wasp Nest.)
Mission: Kill Queen Wasp x15
~
Whew, nicely done. Hold on... Something is stuck to your armor. Hmm...? This looks like a necklace.
Reward:
- Experience: 19,800
- Gold: 60,000
- Item: Enchant Stone [II] x5
7.The Keepsake[]
It must have gotten stuck to you while you were fighting the queen wasps. By the way... Ah, wait. I think I've seen that engraving somewhere before... This can't be! I think this makes a pair with the necklace that Master Narayan wears! Could it be Shakti's necklace? Oh, no! Now that I've had a closer look, I can tell clearly that it is hers. Judging by the condition of the necklace, Shakti might be dead... This is horrible. I swore to him that I would bring her back safely... ~ Since events have taken a sudden and unexpected turn, I cannot bear to show myself before Master Narayan. I am sorry, but can you take this necklace to him for me?
Mission: Unfinished Love from Narayan
~
...
Reward:
- Experience: 16,500
- Gold: 30,000
- Item: Antidote [II] x10
8.Isn't this...[]
Ah, you've returned... To think that Master Narayan was that upset... He feels that much bitterness, huh... He's never been a trusting person, but I've never seen him lose his cool before. The only thing we can do is focus on crushing the Nest of Insects Giant spiders have swarmed the deepest reaches of the Nest of Insects. The strange thing is that the ants and wasps seem to devote themselves to following orders from the spiders. All I can tell you is... When I confronted them here last time, I sensed that they weren't of this world... ~ If I can examine their hearts, I might gain some greater understanding of them. Go hunt Tarantulas and Hell Spiders, and bring back 20 Polluted Hearts. HINT: You can find Tarantulas and Hell Spiders in the Spider Nest.
Mission: Polluted Heart x20
~
Ugh...! What the..! As soon as I touched the hearts, my mind grew hazy just like the time I went inside that place. Certainly, these hearts will help us find the source of the Nest of Insects.
Reward:
- Experience: 21,600
- Gold: 70,000
- Item: Life Potion[II] x10
9.Purify the Hearts[]
We have to find an expert to help us analyze this strange item. Have you heard of the great monk, Sachen? Ah, so he's clearing things up in Angkor Wat currently? He is not that far from here. ~ Bring these Polluted Heart to the great monk, Sachen, and consult him about this strange energy.
Mission: The Power of Purification from Sachen
~
I see... So, this ancient device is at the heart of everything that's happened hear. And it's not too much of a reach to think that it's the cause of these injuries that won't heal. Atlantis... I am sorry, but I don't have any information about it.
Reward:
- Experience: 18,000
- Gold: 65,000
- Item: Polluted Heart x10
10.The Last Insect[]
While you were gone, I saw something shocking. That woman, who I believed was dead, appeared before me and told me that, if I wanted to recover from the injury more quickly, then I'd have to leave here. What? She told Sir Narayan to stop looking for Kshar? I have to tell you this. Actually, Kshar is the Evil Spider King that creeps in the deepest part of the Nest of Insects... When I saw the hearts of those spiders, I knew that they were originally humans. The Evil Spider King is... Today it just looks like a monstrous spider, but when I saw it last time, it still had some traces of humanity about it. That spider had characteristics similar to Kshar... Although the similarities were minuscule, I could tell right away when I saw it. ~ Moreover, I saw many departed souls floating around it. The people who died there are now spiders or departed souls held by Kshar, the [Evil Spider King]. You... you must kill the Evil Spider King and obtain the Ghost Jar from it. HINT: You can find the Evil Spider King in the Evil Spider King's Lair.
Mission: Ghost Jar x1
~
Good job. Ugh... This jar... Simply holding it pulls my mind into a greater fog than before. It's strange that you can hold it like it's nothing. So, even Kshar is dead. I can't understand what force could have transformed him like that. I knew he had the ambition to seize power, but I never thought it was so great that he would give up his body and country to gain such power.
Reward:
- Experience: 30,000
- Gold: 100,000
- Item: Life Potion[II] x7
11.Tormented Soul[]
Now that we have it, I don't know what to do with this jar. Argh, my head! At least, with this jar, we can confirm what happened to Kshar. Please show it to Master Narayan. ~ Master Narayan will tell you what to do next. Don't forget to bring the Ghost Jar to him.
Mission: Mysterious Woman's Words from Narayan
~
Good god! If that's true, then that woman has been pulling our strings all along! I don't know what to say. The great monk, Sachen talks about Atlantis like it's the axis of evil, but, to be honest with you, I don't really get it. Even that lady... She played us, but she didn't harm us or anything. We didn't cause any harm to each other, so...
Reward:
- Experience: 21,000
- Item: Scroll of Bewitching [II] x2
[]
Maybe things didn't turn out the way I wanted, but at least there's no chance that the Nest of Insects can grow any bigger. With that alone, I feel fortunate. Since the insects' leader is gone, my injuries might recover quicker. ~ My injuries have given me some... physical difficulties. Make sure you don't neglect your own wounds. I wouldn't want you to end up like me. If only I had the robust health of a Northern Viking. Say, do you have a Northern Viking summon marble? You should use it. He'd make a fantastic companion on your journey!
Mission: Recruit Northern Viking
~
Did you have enough rest? This Ambrosia is a small reward from me to you. Since you cleared up the Nest of Insects for me, it's the least I can do.
Reward:
- Experience: 22,500
- Gold: 200,000
- Item: Ambrosia x10
13.Next...[]
It's time to say goodbye. Where are you heading now? I overheard the woman saying that she was headed towards Mohenjodaro Graveyard. Oh, that's right. I've heard that Mohenjodaro Graveyard is the last vestige of an ancient civilization which existed a long, long time ago. Perhaps she went there to check up on that. That place could have a connection to Atlantis. ~ There is a town called Mumbai near the graveyard. I happen to have an acquaintance there. Her name is Urvashi. Like Master Narayan, who lost his wife, Urvashi is concerned about her missing fiancé... If you see her, try to help her out. Have a safe trip. I hope we meet again...
Mission: Talk to Urvashi
