Don't Drink the Water

What to prepare

Nothing to buy: you need to be able to do the Merkator's Aquadome dungeon, and win two fights solo. The Foggernaut Batteries that operate the levers drop from the monsters in the area.

The 17 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Captain Amakna

   Dialogue[0,0] · Captain Amakna

   Ask Captain Amakna what's bothering him. Everyone who has eaten fish recently has fallen ill: the waters of the Kawaii river are polluted. He suspected the Foggernauts, but his assistant Bunky told him that Merkator is the real culprit. Offer your help: he tasks you with finding the source of the pollution.

2. 2Get the Barbascout from Alberta Borida

   Items[1,-21] · Alberta Borida

   In Astrub, explain the river problem to the young red-haired Foggernaut. The Foggernauts respect the environment: she entrusts you with a Barbascout, which detects substances in the water and will guide you to the source. She advises you to start with the Pandawa temple and warns you about Merkator's accomplices.

3. 3Activate the Barbascout

   [4,-2]

   In front of the Pandawa temple, click on the Barbascout to activate it: it follows you as a follower character and shows you a new position.

4. 4Follow the Barbascout

   Movement[9,1] [10,1] [10,2] [10,3]

   Go to [9,1] : the Barbascout shows another position. Go to the map on the right at [10,1], go down to [10,2], then go down further to [10,3].

5. 5Take a water sample

   [10,3]

   Click on the strange shape in the water: the Barbascout dives to take a sample, but doesn't come back up. Click on the strange shape again to try to retrieve it.

   

6. 6Defeat the Steamcrab Scout

   Combat[10,3]

   A Steamcrab Scout attacks you. The fight is solo.

7. 7Beat the Merkaptans with Bunky

   Combat[10,3] · Bunky

   Talk to Bunky, Captain Amakna's sidekick, who has appeared on the map: more bad guys are coming and he will help you defeat them. The fight is solo, with Bunky; if he dies, the fight continues. After the victory, you get the Dented Barbascout.

8. 8Question Bunky

   Dialogue[10,3] · Bunky

   Thank Bunky and ask him what he's doing here. He tells you that you need to go to the abyssal base and solve the lever puzzle to reach Merkator.

9. 9Talk to Toni Rubbinson

   Dialogue[21,13] · Toni Rubbinson

   In Sufokia, tell Toni Rubbinson that the Captain is sending you to meet Merkator, then ask him how to get to him.

10. 10Question Jaime Swatt

    Dialogue[22,14] · Jaime Swatt

    Jaime Swatt is on the way to Merkator. Ask him about access to the Aquadome: you need to pull levers that open doors, and each lever consumes Foggernaut Batteries, which drop from the monsters in the area. He gives you a few.

11. 11Reach the Aquadome entrance

    Merkator is the boss of the Merkator's Aquadome dungeon: defeat him in a single fight.

    • Merkatorfight · level 220 · 13,000 to 19,000 HP · 20 AP · 6 MP

13. 13Question Merkator

    Dialogue · Merkator

    Talk to Merkator again to order him to stop polluting the river. He denies it: he had nothing to do with the attack you suffered, but he sold all his barrels of techno-magical heavy oil to a fanatic, an Osamodas worshipper of the god Retazoum, who should be found south of the Madrestam harbor.

14. 14Unmask Dee Pwater

    [13,1] · Dee Pwater

    To avoid arousing her suspicion, let Dee Pwater know that you want heavy oil, then declare yourself a fervent admirer of Retazoum. Kneel before her and congratulate her on the Kawaii's pollution: trusting you, she reveals that she wants to pollute all the waters of the World of Twelve, and that she keeps a vial of Super Cleaner on her, the only remedy against her oil.

    If you give the wrong answer, you will have to fight a beast and you will receive a curse.

    

15. 15Defeat Dee Pwater

    Combat[13,1]

    Attack her to retrieve the vial. The fight can be done as a group: the quest advances for all characters who answered “Postpone the confrontation.” Once Dee Pwater is defeated, the Super Cleaner drops automatically.

16. 16Give the Super Cleaner to Otomai's Assistant

    Items[-2,-4] · Otomai's Assistant

    Otomai's Assistant happens to be looking for a product able to clean up pollution. Give her the vial: she thanks you for this miracle cure.

    Dialogue[0,0] · Captain Amakna
