[World Map:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[If you check the sunken ship:]
Text: The ship is completely sunk. There's no way to get in.
Karis: Is someone there?!
Tyrell: Hey! Hello? Anyone here? We've come to help!
Rief: Is there anyone still alive here? Please, give a shout!
Text: There comes no reply...
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kraden: There's nothing more we can do. Everyone's...gone.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Iceberg Outpost |
[Entering the blocked off room:]
Sveta: I can't see a thing in this darkness.
Amiti: I thought I heard someone this way...
Eoleo: You're right! Over there!
???: Matthew? Is that you? I thought so...
[Hou Ju lights the lamp to reveal that Ryu Kou was talking as he leans over Hou Zan.]
Ryu Kou: As you can see, Hou Zan is in a bad way.
Hou Ju: He fought off a horde of monsters to protect this place.
Hou Zan: I thought I'd finished them all, but one was only wounded... I let my guard down... But now that Matthew is here, I can finally rest...
Ryu Kou: Hou Zan, no! You can't die in this forsaken place! I-I won't let you!
Hou Ju: Yes, hold on long enough for Matthew to take us all back home to Sana, Hou Zan...
Hou Zan: Ah, that would be a dream... But, alas, one that cannot be...
Ryu Kou: Hou Zan, no!
Hou Ju: Don't leave us!
Hou Zan: Take care of them... Matthew.
[It fades to black. It goes back to a different angle with Hou Zan now dead.]
Ryu Kou: Hou Zan...
Hou Ju: No...
[Fade to black again. The picture returns outside as they stand over a mound with an Echo Gem on top of it.]
Kraden: I know this won't be easy, but we must ask: do you happen to have an ancient Morgal map, Ryu Kou?
**********
[NOTE: You can get two different sections of dialogue here depending on if you spoke to Emperor Unan after getting Himi.]
[If you talked to Emperor Unan:]
Ryu Kou: Yes. Emperor Unan gave it to my father when he assumed governorship of Morgal. I've been keeping it with me.
**********
[If you haven't spoken with Unan:]
Ryu Kou: It's one of my last keepsakes of my father, and I wish I didn't have to part with it... But I'm certain he would want me to help you in any way I can.
**********
[NOTE: The text is the same from this point.]
Text: Matthew and party got the Umbra map.
Kraden: Now we can find the Umbra Gear! We should start the search right after taking them home.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Text: It's Hou Zan's grave. Hou Ju's Echo Gem has been placed here as a marker.
Hou Zan: [SS] With my young charges safe at last, I can finally rest without care...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Once you exit, you're on the boat again.]
Tyrell: So we've got our map now? Let's go find this "Umbra Gear."
Rief: Except that the map is ancient, and geography all changed with the Golden Sun. Everything has moved.
Karis: I think I can help with that! Let's see... If this is Mount Aleph... So that's over there... Hmm... Got it! I think I've figured out where all we need to go.
[A feather circles four areas on the world map.]
Karis: Obviously I couldn't get exact locations, but we can start looking in the spots I marked.
Rief: While the Umbra Gear is certainly important, shouldn't we get our guests back to Sana first?
Kraden: Ever the gentleman, Rief! Yes, let's get them back to Tonfon immediately.
-Onward!-
| Tonfon |
[When you talk to most NPCs, they'll randomly give you one of these lines while Ryu Kou and Hou Ju are with you. The Spirit Sense lines work similarly.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could it be...Ryu Kou and Hou Ju? Spirits be praised—they're back!
Lady Hinechou's children have miraculously returned to us! The emperor must be so pleased.
We may have lost Lord Kuan, but at least his children will survive as his legacy.
I didn't think any Sanans had made it out of Morgal. What a relief to see Lord Kuan's children!
Hou Ju! Ryu Kou! You should go and see Lady Hinechou at once!
It can't be Ryu Kou and Hou Ju—that would be impossible!
[SS] Could they be imposters? They look just like Lord Kuan's children...
[SS] I wish I could see Lady Hinechou's face when she finds out that her children have returned.
[SS] I didn't think any Sanans could escape the wrath of the Fang Tribe...
[SS] If Lord Kuan's children are as wise and noble as their father, they will help our nation.
[SS] Who would have imagined that worn-out ship having such precious cargo aboard?
[SS] Lord Kuan's children back—this day should become a national holiday!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sana Palace |
[NOTE: The dialogue is the same here whether or not you took the Echo Gem.]
[When you go up the stairs to the throne room:]
Emperor Unan: Are you all right, Lady Hinechou?
Lady Hinechou: I cannot find it... I must find it... If I don't, the children...
Emperor Unan: It was quite valuable. Perhaps a thief has taken it for himself?
[Ryu Kou and Hou Ju approach.]
Emperor Unan: Ryu Kou... Hou Ju...
Lady Hinechou: It's you...
Ryu Kou: Mother...
Hou Ju: Mother!
[It fades out on a family group hug. When the picture returns, the three of them are around the emperor's throne.]
Ryu Kou: We're home.
Emperor Unan: You must both be exhausted. Hou Ju, you were imprisoned so long... It is a great relief to see you looking so healthy.
[Hou Ju nods.]
Lady Hinechou: ...You're back. I'm so, so glad...
Emperor Unan: Lady Hinechou, we have more to discuss. Will you take them to your chambers and see they are taken care of?
Lady Hinechou: Of course. Shall we?
Hou Ju: Yes, of course.
Ryu Kou: But I... Never mind.
Lady Hinechou: We obey, Your Majesty. Matthew, you and your friends have returned my children to me. I can never truly repay this kindness.
Hou Ju: My uncle is a generous man. I'm sure he'll give you a reward!
Lady Hinechou: Hou Ju, that was improper...
Ryu Kou: What are you thinking of, dear sister? [to the others] We didn't ask for your help, but you gave it, regardless. I thank you with all my heart.
[The three of them bow before going to head down the stairs. Hou Ju grins at Matthew as she passes him.]
Emperor Unan: It has been a long time since my sister-in-law was so radiantly happy. I owe you much. Words seem inadequate. The fate of Sana—no, the fate of the whole continent, rests with you.
Kraden: Saving the world is sort of the family business for them.
Matthew: ...
Karis: I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah, it's true.
Tyrell: But no pressure or anything.
Rief: How about you, Amiti?
Amiti: My heritage is different, but I will not fail you.
Sveta: I will fight for Belinsk.
Eoleo: And I gotta do right by my old man.
Himi: I am with you.
Emperor Unan: I will pray for all of you.
Kraden: Very well. Is it time to depart?
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Unan: Lady Hinechou would like to thank you all. She's waiting for you in the annex when you are ready.
Emperor Unan: [SS] With Ryu Kou and Hou Ju safe, Lady Hinechou's heart is again luminous and warm. Her light is infectious—my heart shines with it as well. It is such a relief to have them back...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T34: Emperor Unan is relieved that Lord Kuan's children were rescued. ...Come to think of it, so am I.
T34: [SS] It was really quite touching to see Lady Hinechou's tears of joy at her children's return... The emperor must be stoic, naturally, but I'm sure he weeps with happiness inside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palace Servant: I will be praying every night for the gods to keep you safe.
Palace Servant: [SS] These "Adepts" use unnatural powers to fight... What exactly distinguishes them from monsters?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you try to head downstairs:]
Emperor Unan: Matthew, a word? There are things I would speak with you about. Please come to my study as soon as you are able.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Unan: Please join Lady Hinechou in the annex, then meet me in my study.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T28: So you are both skilled warriors and brave sailors? I am envious—I can fight, but boats terrify me.
T28: [SS] These people are skilled warriors and brave sailors? I am envious—I can fight, but boats terrify me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T29: You saved Ryu Kou and Hou Ju? Such bravery in warriors so young...
T29: [SS] These warriors are all Adepts. If only I could use Psynergy... then I'd be unbeatable!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T30: With so little sunlight, I hear the crops have suffered. I wonder if we will have enough food...
[NOTE: SS is the same dialogue.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T31: There were migrating flocks of geese here for a few days, but then they left. Nothing makes sense.
[NOTE: SS is the same dialogue.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T32: At least we don't have a war to worry about during all this. I hope Kaocho does not become restless.
T32: [SS] King Wo of Kaocho is very powerful. I bet even if he was killed, he wouldn't die immediately. His will is too strong!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T33: In the summer, the winds usually blow from the south, but not this year. It's as if it were fall already...
[NOTE: SS is the same dialogue.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Tonfon |
[Outside the Palace:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T26: Kuan's children have returned. It can only be a miracle!
T26: [SS] I'd heard that all the Sanans in Belinsk were wiped out by the Fang Tribe. Even if only Kuan's children made it out, that's worth celebrating.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T27: Kuan's children are back with us. We cannot thank you enough, my lords...and ladies.
T27: [SS] I hope the people of the northern mainland are as tough as I've heard, or they're in trouble.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Docks:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T01: One of the Sanan ships that Lemuria refitted has sunk in the seas up north.
T01: [SS] How can there be ice floes out there in the summer? How are we to make a living?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T02: One of our proud ships of Sana just got shipwrecked! We're all still reeling over it.
T02: [SS] I don't want to sail the northern seas anymore—when things get rough up there, they get very, very rough.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T03: When our ship went down, all hands were lost. I've been having trouble focusing on anything else.
T03: [SS] The sailors of Sana are a tight-knit group. We laugh together, and when we lose a ship, we cry together.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T04: Your ship is the exact twin of ours that sank. I suppose that proves you the better sailors...
T04: [SS] The Sanan people are good sailors, but we don't live on the seas like the pirates. They can always outsail us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Outside:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T05: The shadows are getting closer. No one else seems to have noticed...
T05: [SS] No, I'm sure of it now—the shadows are getting longer...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T06: The Endless Wall was built a long, long time ago. I'll bet they didn't know we'd use it as a road!
T06: [SS] Is the shadowy area getting bigger?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T07: Lord Sun still hides. Every day is colder than the last...
T07: [SS] All right, that's enough cold. Emperor Unan, anytime you want to fix this is fine with me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T08: I am sworn to protect Sana's people from all enemies, but how can I fight Lady Moon?
T08: [SS] I can't dwell on the eclipse, or I'll start to lose hope. There's nothing I can do about it, anyway.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonfon Gear Seller: Sana is a very populous country. Emperor Ko tried to use those numbers to conquer the continent.
Tonfon Gear Seller: [SS] Emperor Ko conscripted every able-bodied Sanan into the army and sent them to war. Untrained city folk didn't have a chance. I wonder how many didn't make it home...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanan Woman: Lord Sun and Lady Moon do not seem to want to part ways. People will begin to talk...
Sanan Woman: [SS] Lady Moon, you're not really supposed to be out right now, are you?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T09: We still get some light in Sana, but it is weak, wintry light. We're starting to feel testy and irritable.
T09: [SS] Hmph. Looks like it's just going to be cold all summer this year. No swimming for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T10: The darkness across the land is obviously a danger to Sana, but one we can't really fight. Frustrating.
T10: [SS] There are some places on the continent where it's just dark all the time now. How do they survive?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T12: Here in Tonfon, we seem to have partially escaped the disaster by being so far to the east.
T12: [SS] It's nice to be right on the sea for trading and fishing and tsunamis... Wait—what?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T13: Lord Sun's light is weaker now. I've never been so cold...
T13: [SS] The laundry won't dry in this cold. I can't go another day wearing moist clothes!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Inside:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T16: I wonder what will happen to those places where Lord Sun cannot shine his light...
T16: [SS] What can this eclipse mean? It can't be good...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T17: To the west is Kaocho, the kingdom that Wo founded. I hear it is in Lady Moon's shadow now.
T17: [SS] I wonder why King Wo withdrew his troops so suddenly that day. It was almost as if he were under a spell...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T18: Don't eat the dead fish on the shore. They'll make you sick.
T18: [SS] I should be grateful there is so much to eat. Grandpa says that the disaster wiped out all the food for a while.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T19: Dead fish wash up on the shore every day. The currents come from up north... What's happening there?
T19: [SS] So many dead fish... Such a waste...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T20: The sea is unseasonably cold right now. I think it's because it's so cold up north.
T20: [SS] The seas in the north are so cold... Is that why the fish are dying?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T21: What sunlight does reach us here seems very gray and somber. It makes me think sad thoughts.
T21: [SS] At this point in my life, I should probably give up my dream of eating the world's largest pie...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T22: Is it my imagination, or does your group come from all over? You all look so different from each other!
T22: [SS] These are the warriors who helped Kuan's children. They look bold...but so young...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T23: I notice your group seems almost like a family. Have you been traveling together long?
Matthew: [Yes]
T23: It's wonderful that you've made such bonds despite being from different parts of the world!
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
T23: No? Well, you look like you're becoming close already.
T23: [SS] How wonderful to build a new family of your fellow adventurers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T24: The Endless Wall is a great symbol of Sana's history. Emperor Ko visited it often.
T24: [SS] Emperor Ko sure was interested in the Endless Wall. I'll bet he was up to something.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T25: Someday you should visit the Endless Wall. It'll take your breath away.
T25: [SS] Emperor Ko wasn't big on history. I even hear his interest in the Endless Wall was military. But what military purpose could he put a long wall to? I guess that's why he was an emperor and I'm not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Lady Hinechou's Room |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady H's Servant 1: Lady Hinechou's smile is like a beacon of warmth and hope. I have missed it so.
Lady H's Servant 1: [SS] Lady Hinechou's smile! I had almost forgotten what it looked like. I'm so happy, I could cry...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T36: I knew Hou Ju would come back to us.
T36: [SS] If the rebellion in Morgal hadn't been just as Lady Hinechou was home for a visit, she would have... She must have thought that random chance had made her the only survivor of her family, poor woman...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady H's Servant 3: My lady is laughing...truly laughing! It's been so long since we saw that lovely smile...
Lady H's Servant 3: [SS] I have always thought Lady Hinechou had the loveliest smile in Sana. How wonderful to see it again!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady H's Servant 2: Both Ryu Kou and Hou Ju are back! It's like we've awoken from an evil spell...or a good one has been cast on us!
Lady H's Servant 2: [SS] It's almost too wonderful to believe! Both of Lady Hinechou's children are home!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you approach Lady Hinechou:]
Lady Hinechou: Matthew, we've been waiting for you.
[She bows.]
Lady Hinechou: If I spent the next hundred years thanking you for saving my children, it would still seem insufficient.
Hou Ju: Matthew has saved me twice now. It hardly seems real that I'm safely back home in Sana.
Ryu Kou: Thank you for your help in Morgal. I...thank you.
[Lady Hinechou opens a treasure chest that's now in her room.]
Lady Hinechou: This has been a treasured family heirloom, but I want you to have it as a keepsake of your heroics.
Text: Matthew got Lady Moon's Ring.
Lady Hinechou: We will always live in debt to you, and I will pray for your safe return just as I prayed for my children's.
Hou Ju: And I will be praying at her side. Please come back safely.
Ryu Kou: If I had powers like yours, I would see this through with you to the end. But I would be a distracting burden, so I have to ask you to do my share as well.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady Hinechou: I wish I had an adequate reward for your kindness, Matthew. Is that what you're waiting for?
Matthew: [Yes]
Lady Hinechou: Well, I hope it goes without saying that you are welcome to anything you may find in my home.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Lady Hinechou: You are very noble, but I still owe all that I have to you. Please take anything you may find in my home.
Lady Hinechou: [SS] After the rebellion in Morgal, I thought my family would never come home. I came close to despair. With my children back, it almost feels like a dream. I hope never to awake from it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryu Kou: Matthew, I'm sorry to have been such a thorn in your side all this time. I admit to being jealous of you. I may be a prince, but you are an Adept and warrior second to none, with loyal and capable friends.
Ryu Kou: [SS] These heirs of Vale are amazing warriors. If I was an Adept, I would proudly travel Weyard with them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hou Ju: My brother must like you very much, Matthew. He spoke about you frequently during our exile.
Hou Ju: [SS] Matthew, I know if anyone can stop the Grave Eclipse, it's you. Blessing go with you on your journey.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sana Palace |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T34: Lord Kuan's children have returned? That's a blessing. I would smile with relief, but I have almost forgotten how.
T34: [SS] I still can't believe Lord Kuan is gone...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palace Servant: [SS] These "Adepts" use unnatural powers that seem monstrous... But they fight for the good of all...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you enter the main part of the study:]
Emperor Unan: There is something of vital import that I must give you. But first, let me be clear... You are searching for the Apollo Lens, correct?
[They frown]
Emperor Unan: Then my information was correct...
Tyrell: What information?
Emperor Unan: Information from a man who calls himself Arcanus.
Matthew: !!
Karis: Is this Arcanus from Tuaparang?
Rief: He certainly gets around...
Tyrell: So he's been to Sana, too?
Amiti: Who is he under that mask?
Sveta: The man from the tower?
Himi: Arcanus...
Eoleo: What is this guy up to?
Kraden: What exactly did Arcanus tell you, Your Majesty?
Emperor Unan: He said that I would be visited by warriors seeking an end to the Grave Eclipse. They would be looking for the Apollo Lens, a machine built by the ancients.
Kraden: And what did he want you to do when this happened?
[Emperor Unan pulls up the Red Orb and places it on the table]
Emperor Unan: He asked me to give you something.
Eoleo: Is it valuable?
Kraden: Ahem. What is the nature of this gift, Your Majesty?
Emperor Unan: Despite the name, the Endless Wall does have an end point. The Apollo Lens lies buried just past that point. In order to raise the ancient machine up out of the ground, you will need three treasures.
Amiti: And we may assume that this is one of them?
Rief: And what of the other two? Where will we find those?
Emperor Unan: Arcanus claimed you would already possess one of them.
Sveta: That orb my brother threw to us...
Karis: You're right, Sveta—that must be it.
Tyrell: What about the last one?
Emperor Unan: You must place the two orbs in the statue to reveal the third.
Eoleo: And where is this statue?
[Himi has made the picture sepia and is floating again. Once again, no one finds this odd.]
Himi: I...seem to know the answer... Return to Nihan, and visit Uzume's tomb once more...
[She lands.]
Amiti: Arcanus was the puppeteer who brought about the Grave Eclipse. Why would he help us end it?
Kraden: I've been wondering that myself.
Rief: At least Himi's prophecy seems to agree with Arcanus. It still could be a trick, though.
[Kraden seems worried.]
Sveta: You seem preoccupied, Kraden. What is wrong?
Kraden: I'm not sure... Is he our enemy? Or does he simply help in his own way? He's always been entirely inscrutable...
Matthew: ?!
Karis: "Always"?
Tyrell: Huh?
Rief: You make it sound as if you've known Arcanus for some time.
Amiti: Do you know who the masked man is, Kraden?
Sveta: Or at least a theory?
Eoleo: Out with it!
Himi: What did you mean that he helps in his own way?
Emperor Unan: You all apparently have things to discuss.
Tyrell: Are you gonna tell us or what?
Kraden: I once knew a man... No, that story will have to wait.
Karis: I understand. You don't want to say until you're sure. After all, he is an Adept and might be related to one of us.
[Kraden looks away and Amiti only happens to be in his line of vision. Yep.]
Rief: Ah... If he is kin to one of us, it might prove painful to one or all if we have to fight him...
Karis: OK, we won't badger you anymore if you promise to tell us about it some other time.
Amiti: Perhaps we should set a date for a storytelling day... The day after we stop the Grave Eclipse.
Kraden: Indeed we shall. Emperor Unan, thank you for your assistance. We will endeavor not to let you down.
[Matthew just yoinks the orb off the Emperor's table.]
Text: Matthew and party got the Red Orb.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Unan: The Apollo Lens can only be reached via the Endless Wall, but you will not be stopped by such trivialities, correct?
Matthew: [Yes]
Emperor Unan: Your confidence gives me hope. Please end the Grave Eclipse and heal our world.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Emperor Unan: A wise response. It is precisely when one is overconfident that Fate steps in to compel modesty. You will do well.
Emperor Unan: [SS] This "Arcanus" had a hand in starting the Grave Eclipse but also brought me the Red Orb... What strange ambitions drive such a man?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palace Servant: The emperor's previous visitor? He was wearing a mask, so I didn't see him properly. But I liked what I saw!
Palace Servant: [SS] These guys are cute, but that masked man may have just spoiled me on all men forever. So mysterious!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T34: Didn't you come to see Emperor Unan earlier? Why didn't you wear your mask this time?
T34: [SS] I've seen a lot of guests come and go, but that man was very strange. Eerie, even...

[If you check the sunken ship:]
Text: The ship is completely sunk. There's no way to get in.
Karis: Is someone there?!
Tyrell: Hey! Hello? Anyone here? We've come to help!
Rief: Is there anyone still alive here? Please, give a shout!
Text: There comes no reply...
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kraden: There's nothing more we can do. Everyone's...gone.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Entering the blocked off room:]
Sveta: I can't see a thing in this darkness.
Amiti: I thought I heard someone this way...
Eoleo: You're right! Over there!
???: Matthew? Is that you? I thought so...
[Hou Ju lights the lamp to reveal that Ryu Kou was talking as he leans over Hou Zan.]
Ryu Kou: As you can see, Hou Zan is in a bad way.
Hou Ju: He fought off a horde of monsters to protect this place.
Hou Zan: I thought I'd finished them all, but one was only wounded... I let my guard down... But now that Matthew is here, I can finally rest...
Ryu Kou: Hou Zan, no! You can't die in this forsaken place! I-I won't let you!
Hou Ju: Yes, hold on long enough for Matthew to take us all back home to Sana, Hou Zan...
Hou Zan: Ah, that would be a dream... But, alas, one that cannot be...
Ryu Kou: Hou Zan, no!
Hou Ju: Don't leave us!
Hou Zan: Take care of them... Matthew.
[It fades to black. It goes back to a different angle with Hou Zan now dead.]
Ryu Kou: Hou Zan...
Hou Ju: No...
[Fade to black again. The picture returns outside as they stand over a mound with an Echo Gem on top of it.]
Kraden: I know this won't be easy, but we must ask: do you happen to have an ancient Morgal map, Ryu Kou?
**********
[NOTE: You can get two different sections of dialogue here depending on if you spoke to Emperor Unan after getting Himi.]
[If you talked to Emperor Unan:]
Ryu Kou: Yes. Emperor Unan gave it to my father when he assumed governorship of Morgal. I've been keeping it with me.
**********
[If you haven't spoken with Unan:]
Ryu Kou: It's one of my last keepsakes of my father, and I wish I didn't have to part with it... But I'm certain he would want me to help you in any way I can.
**********
[NOTE: The text is the same from this point.]
Text: Matthew and party got the Umbra map.
Kraden: Now we can find the Umbra Gear! We should start the search right after taking them home.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Text: It's Hou Zan's grave. Hou Ju's Echo Gem has been placed here as a marker.
Hou Zan: [SS] With my young charges safe at last, I can finally rest without care...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Once you exit, you're on the boat again.]
Tyrell: So we've got our map now? Let's go find this "Umbra Gear."
Rief: Except that the map is ancient, and geography all changed with the Golden Sun. Everything has moved.
Karis: I think I can help with that! Let's see... If this is Mount Aleph... So that's over there... Hmm... Got it! I think I've figured out where all we need to go.
[A feather circles four areas on the world map.]
Karis: Obviously I couldn't get exact locations, but we can start looking in the spots I marked.
Rief: While the Umbra Gear is certainly important, shouldn't we get our guests back to Sana first?
Kraden: Ever the gentleman, Rief! Yes, let's get them back to Tonfon immediately.
-Onward!-
[When you talk to most NPCs, they'll randomly give you one of these lines while Ryu Kou and Hou Ju are with you. The Spirit Sense lines work similarly.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could it be...Ryu Kou and Hou Ju? Spirits be praised—they're back!
Lady Hinechou's children have miraculously returned to us! The emperor must be so pleased.
We may have lost Lord Kuan, but at least his children will survive as his legacy.
I didn't think any Sanans had made it out of Morgal. What a relief to see Lord Kuan's children!
Hou Ju! Ryu Kou! You should go and see Lady Hinechou at once!
It can't be Ryu Kou and Hou Ju—that would be impossible!
[SS] Could they be imposters? They look just like Lord Kuan's children...
[SS] I wish I could see Lady Hinechou's face when she finds out that her children have returned.
[SS] I didn't think any Sanans could escape the wrath of the Fang Tribe...
[SS] If Lord Kuan's children are as wise and noble as their father, they will help our nation.
[SS] Who would have imagined that worn-out ship having such precious cargo aboard?
[SS] Lord Kuan's children back—this day should become a national holiday!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[NOTE: The dialogue is the same here whether or not you took the Echo Gem.]
[When you go up the stairs to the throne room:]
Emperor Unan: Are you all right, Lady Hinechou?
Lady Hinechou: I cannot find it... I must find it... If I don't, the children...
Emperor Unan: It was quite valuable. Perhaps a thief has taken it for himself?
[Ryu Kou and Hou Ju approach.]
Emperor Unan: Ryu Kou... Hou Ju...
Lady Hinechou: It's you...
Ryu Kou: Mother...
Hou Ju: Mother!
[It fades out on a family group hug. When the picture returns, the three of them are around the emperor's throne.]
Ryu Kou: We're home.
Emperor Unan: You must both be exhausted. Hou Ju, you were imprisoned so long... It is a great relief to see you looking so healthy.
[Hou Ju nods.]
Lady Hinechou: ...You're back. I'm so, so glad...
Emperor Unan: Lady Hinechou, we have more to discuss. Will you take them to your chambers and see they are taken care of?
Lady Hinechou: Of course. Shall we?
Hou Ju: Yes, of course.
Ryu Kou: But I... Never mind.
Lady Hinechou: We obey, Your Majesty. Matthew, you and your friends have returned my children to me. I can never truly repay this kindness.
Hou Ju: My uncle is a generous man. I'm sure he'll give you a reward!
Lady Hinechou: Hou Ju, that was improper...
Ryu Kou: What are you thinking of, dear sister? [to the others] We didn't ask for your help, but you gave it, regardless. I thank you with all my heart.
[The three of them bow before going to head down the stairs. Hou Ju grins at Matthew as she passes him.]
Emperor Unan: It has been a long time since my sister-in-law was so radiantly happy. I owe you much. Words seem inadequate. The fate of Sana—no, the fate of the whole continent, rests with you.
Kraden: Saving the world is sort of the family business for them.
Matthew: ...
Karis: I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah, it's true.
Tyrell: But no pressure or anything.
Rief: How about you, Amiti?
Amiti: My heritage is different, but I will not fail you.
Sveta: I will fight for Belinsk.
Eoleo: And I gotta do right by my old man.
Himi: I am with you.
Emperor Unan: I will pray for all of you.
Kraden: Very well. Is it time to depart?
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Unan: Lady Hinechou would like to thank you all. She's waiting for you in the annex when you are ready.
Emperor Unan: [SS] With Ryu Kou and Hou Ju safe, Lady Hinechou's heart is again luminous and warm. Her light is infectious—my heart shines with it as well. It is such a relief to have them back...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T34: Emperor Unan is relieved that Lord Kuan's children were rescued. ...Come to think of it, so am I.
T34: [SS] It was really quite touching to see Lady Hinechou's tears of joy at her children's return... The emperor must be stoic, naturally, but I'm sure he weeps with happiness inside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palace Servant: I will be praying every night for the gods to keep you safe.
Palace Servant: [SS] These "Adepts" use unnatural powers to fight... What exactly distinguishes them from monsters?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you try to head downstairs:]
Emperor Unan: Matthew, a word? There are things I would speak with you about. Please come to my study as soon as you are able.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Unan: Please join Lady Hinechou in the annex, then meet me in my study.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T28: So you are both skilled warriors and brave sailors? I am envious—I can fight, but boats terrify me.
T28: [SS] These people are skilled warriors and brave sailors? I am envious—I can fight, but boats terrify me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T29: You saved Ryu Kou and Hou Ju? Such bravery in warriors so young...
T29: [SS] These warriors are all Adepts. If only I could use Psynergy... then I'd be unbeatable!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T30: With so little sunlight, I hear the crops have suffered. I wonder if we will have enough food...
[NOTE: SS is the same dialogue.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T31: There were migrating flocks of geese here for a few days, but then they left. Nothing makes sense.
[NOTE: SS is the same dialogue.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T32: At least we don't have a war to worry about during all this. I hope Kaocho does not become restless.
T32: [SS] King Wo of Kaocho is very powerful. I bet even if he was killed, he wouldn't die immediately. His will is too strong!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T33: In the summer, the winds usually blow from the south, but not this year. It's as if it were fall already...
[NOTE: SS is the same dialogue.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Outside the Palace:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T26: Kuan's children have returned. It can only be a miracle!
T26: [SS] I'd heard that all the Sanans in Belinsk were wiped out by the Fang Tribe. Even if only Kuan's children made it out, that's worth celebrating.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T27: Kuan's children are back with us. We cannot thank you enough, my lords...and ladies.
T27: [SS] I hope the people of the northern mainland are as tough as I've heard, or they're in trouble.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Docks:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T01: One of the Sanan ships that Lemuria refitted has sunk in the seas up north.
T01: [SS] How can there be ice floes out there in the summer? How are we to make a living?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T02: One of our proud ships of Sana just got shipwrecked! We're all still reeling over it.
T02: [SS] I don't want to sail the northern seas anymore—when things get rough up there, they get very, very rough.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T03: When our ship went down, all hands were lost. I've been having trouble focusing on anything else.
T03: [SS] The sailors of Sana are a tight-knit group. We laugh together, and when we lose a ship, we cry together.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T04: Your ship is the exact twin of ours that sank. I suppose that proves you the better sailors...
T04: [SS] The Sanan people are good sailors, but we don't live on the seas like the pirates. They can always outsail us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Outside:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T05: The shadows are getting closer. No one else seems to have noticed...
T05: [SS] No, I'm sure of it now—the shadows are getting longer...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T06: The Endless Wall was built a long, long time ago. I'll bet they didn't know we'd use it as a road!
T06: [SS] Is the shadowy area getting bigger?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T07: Lord Sun still hides. Every day is colder than the last...
T07: [SS] All right, that's enough cold. Emperor Unan, anytime you want to fix this is fine with me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T08: I am sworn to protect Sana's people from all enemies, but how can I fight Lady Moon?
T08: [SS] I can't dwell on the eclipse, or I'll start to lose hope. There's nothing I can do about it, anyway.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonfon Gear Seller: Sana is a very populous country. Emperor Ko tried to use those numbers to conquer the continent.
Tonfon Gear Seller: [SS] Emperor Ko conscripted every able-bodied Sanan into the army and sent them to war. Untrained city folk didn't have a chance. I wonder how many didn't make it home...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanan Woman: Lord Sun and Lady Moon do not seem to want to part ways. People will begin to talk...
Sanan Woman: [SS] Lady Moon, you're not really supposed to be out right now, are you?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T09: We still get some light in Sana, but it is weak, wintry light. We're starting to feel testy and irritable.
T09: [SS] Hmph. Looks like it's just going to be cold all summer this year. No swimming for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T10: The darkness across the land is obviously a danger to Sana, but one we can't really fight. Frustrating.
T10: [SS] There are some places on the continent where it's just dark all the time now. How do they survive?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T12: Here in Tonfon, we seem to have partially escaped the disaster by being so far to the east.
T12: [SS] It's nice to be right on the sea for trading and fishing and tsunamis... Wait—what?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T13: Lord Sun's light is weaker now. I've never been so cold...
T13: [SS] The laundry won't dry in this cold. I can't go another day wearing moist clothes!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Inside:]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T16: I wonder what will happen to those places where Lord Sun cannot shine his light...
T16: [SS] What can this eclipse mean? It can't be good...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T17: To the west is Kaocho, the kingdom that Wo founded. I hear it is in Lady Moon's shadow now.
T17: [SS] I wonder why King Wo withdrew his troops so suddenly that day. It was almost as if he were under a spell...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T18: Don't eat the dead fish on the shore. They'll make you sick.
T18: [SS] I should be grateful there is so much to eat. Grandpa says that the disaster wiped out all the food for a while.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T19: Dead fish wash up on the shore every day. The currents come from up north... What's happening there?
T19: [SS] So many dead fish... Such a waste...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T20: The sea is unseasonably cold right now. I think it's because it's so cold up north.
T20: [SS] The seas in the north are so cold... Is that why the fish are dying?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T21: What sunlight does reach us here seems very gray and somber. It makes me think sad thoughts.
T21: [SS] At this point in my life, I should probably give up my dream of eating the world's largest pie...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T22: Is it my imagination, or does your group come from all over? You all look so different from each other!
T22: [SS] These are the warriors who helped Kuan's children. They look bold...but so young...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T23: I notice your group seems almost like a family. Have you been traveling together long?
Matthew: [Yes]
T23: It's wonderful that you've made such bonds despite being from different parts of the world!
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
T23: No? Well, you look like you're becoming close already.
T23: [SS] How wonderful to build a new family of your fellow adventurers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T24: The Endless Wall is a great symbol of Sana's history. Emperor Ko visited it often.
T24: [SS] Emperor Ko sure was interested in the Endless Wall. I'll bet he was up to something.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T25: Someday you should visit the Endless Wall. It'll take your breath away.
T25: [SS] Emperor Ko wasn't big on history. I even hear his interest in the Endless Wall was military. But what military purpose could he put a long wall to? I guess that's why he was an emperor and I'm not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady H's Servant 1: Lady Hinechou's smile is like a beacon of warmth and hope. I have missed it so.
Lady H's Servant 1: [SS] Lady Hinechou's smile! I had almost forgotten what it looked like. I'm so happy, I could cry...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T36: I knew Hou Ju would come back to us.
T36: [SS] If the rebellion in Morgal hadn't been just as Lady Hinechou was home for a visit, she would have... She must have thought that random chance had made her the only survivor of her family, poor woman...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady H's Servant 3: My lady is laughing...truly laughing! It's been so long since we saw that lovely smile...
Lady H's Servant 3: [SS] I have always thought Lady Hinechou had the loveliest smile in Sana. How wonderful to see it again!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady H's Servant 2: Both Ryu Kou and Hou Ju are back! It's like we've awoken from an evil spell...or a good one has been cast on us!
Lady H's Servant 2: [SS] It's almost too wonderful to believe! Both of Lady Hinechou's children are home!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you approach Lady Hinechou:]
Lady Hinechou: Matthew, we've been waiting for you.
[She bows.]
Lady Hinechou: If I spent the next hundred years thanking you for saving my children, it would still seem insufficient.
Hou Ju: Matthew has saved me twice now. It hardly seems real that I'm safely back home in Sana.
Ryu Kou: Thank you for your help in Morgal. I...thank you.
[Lady Hinechou opens a treasure chest that's now in her room.]
Lady Hinechou: This has been a treasured family heirloom, but I want you to have it as a keepsake of your heroics.
Text: Matthew got Lady Moon's Ring.
Lady Hinechou: We will always live in debt to you, and I will pray for your safe return just as I prayed for my children's.
Hou Ju: And I will be praying at her side. Please come back safely.
Ryu Kou: If I had powers like yours, I would see this through with you to the end. But I would be a distracting burden, so I have to ask you to do my share as well.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady Hinechou: I wish I had an adequate reward for your kindness, Matthew. Is that what you're waiting for?
Matthew: [Yes]
Lady Hinechou: Well, I hope it goes without saying that you are welcome to anything you may find in my home.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Lady Hinechou: You are very noble, but I still owe all that I have to you. Please take anything you may find in my home.
Lady Hinechou: [SS] After the rebellion in Morgal, I thought my family would never come home. I came close to despair. With my children back, it almost feels like a dream. I hope never to awake from it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryu Kou: Matthew, I'm sorry to have been such a thorn in your side all this time. I admit to being jealous of you. I may be a prince, but you are an Adept and warrior second to none, with loyal and capable friends.
Ryu Kou: [SS] These heirs of Vale are amazing warriors. If I was an Adept, I would proudly travel Weyard with them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hou Ju: My brother must like you very much, Matthew. He spoke about you frequently during our exile.
Hou Ju: [SS] Matthew, I know if anyone can stop the Grave Eclipse, it's you. Blessing go with you on your journey.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T34: Lord Kuan's children have returned? That's a blessing. I would smile with relief, but I have almost forgotten how.
T34: [SS] I still can't believe Lord Kuan is gone...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palace Servant: [SS] These "Adepts" use unnatural powers that seem monstrous... But they fight for the good of all...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[When you enter the main part of the study:]
Emperor Unan: There is something of vital import that I must give you. But first, let me be clear... You are searching for the Apollo Lens, correct?
[They frown]
Emperor Unan: Then my information was correct...
Tyrell: What information?
Emperor Unan: Information from a man who calls himself Arcanus.
Matthew: !!
Karis: Is this Arcanus from Tuaparang?
Rief: He certainly gets around...
Tyrell: So he's been to Sana, too?
Amiti: Who is he under that mask?
Sveta: The man from the tower?
Himi: Arcanus...
Eoleo: What is this guy up to?
Kraden: What exactly did Arcanus tell you, Your Majesty?
Emperor Unan: He said that I would be visited by warriors seeking an end to the Grave Eclipse. They would be looking for the Apollo Lens, a machine built by the ancients.
Kraden: And what did he want you to do when this happened?
[Emperor Unan pulls up the Red Orb and places it on the table]
Emperor Unan: He asked me to give you something.
Eoleo: Is it valuable?
Kraden: Ahem. What is the nature of this gift, Your Majesty?
Emperor Unan: Despite the name, the Endless Wall does have an end point. The Apollo Lens lies buried just past that point. In order to raise the ancient machine up out of the ground, you will need three treasures.
Amiti: And we may assume that this is one of them?
Rief: And what of the other two? Where will we find those?
Emperor Unan: Arcanus claimed you would already possess one of them.
Sveta: That orb my brother threw to us...
Karis: You're right, Sveta—that must be it.
Tyrell: What about the last one?
Emperor Unan: You must place the two orbs in the statue to reveal the third.
Eoleo: And where is this statue?
[Himi has made the picture sepia and is floating again. Once again, no one finds this odd.]
Himi: I...seem to know the answer... Return to Nihan, and visit Uzume's tomb once more...
[She lands.]
Amiti: Arcanus was the puppeteer who brought about the Grave Eclipse. Why would he help us end it?
Kraden: I've been wondering that myself.
Rief: At least Himi's prophecy seems to agree with Arcanus. It still could be a trick, though.
[Kraden seems worried.]
Sveta: You seem preoccupied, Kraden. What is wrong?
Kraden: I'm not sure... Is he our enemy? Or does he simply help in his own way? He's always been entirely inscrutable...
Matthew: ?!
Karis: "Always"?
Tyrell: Huh?
Rief: You make it sound as if you've known Arcanus for some time.
Amiti: Do you know who the masked man is, Kraden?
Sveta: Or at least a theory?
Eoleo: Out with it!
Himi: What did you mean that he helps in his own way?
Emperor Unan: You all apparently have things to discuss.
Tyrell: Are you gonna tell us or what?
Kraden: I once knew a man... No, that story will have to wait.
Karis: I understand. You don't want to say until you're sure. After all, he is an Adept and might be related to one of us.
[Kraden looks away and Amiti only happens to be in his line of vision. Yep.]
Rief: Ah... If he is kin to one of us, it might prove painful to one or all if we have to fight him...
Karis: OK, we won't badger you anymore if you promise to tell us about it some other time.
Amiti: Perhaps we should set a date for a storytelling day... The day after we stop the Grave Eclipse.
Kraden: Indeed we shall. Emperor Unan, thank you for your assistance. We will endeavor not to let you down.
[Matthew just yoinks the orb off the Emperor's table.]
Text: Matthew and party got the Red Orb.
-Onward!-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Unan: The Apollo Lens can only be reached via the Endless Wall, but you will not be stopped by such trivialities, correct?
Matthew: [Yes]
Emperor Unan: Your confidence gives me hope. Please end the Grave Eclipse and heal our world.
--------------------------
Matthew: [No]
Emperor Unan: A wise response. It is precisely when one is overconfident that Fate steps in to compel modesty. You will do well.
Emperor Unan: [SS] This "Arcanus" had a hand in starting the Grave Eclipse but also brought me the Red Orb... What strange ambitions drive such a man?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palace Servant: The emperor's previous visitor? He was wearing a mask, so I didn't see him properly. But I liked what I saw!
Palace Servant: [SS] These guys are cute, but that masked man may have just spoiled me on all men forever. So mysterious!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T34: Didn't you come to see Emperor Unan earlier? Why didn't you wear your mask this time?
T34: [SS] I've seen a lot of guests come and go, but that man was very strange. Eerie, even...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
