The 13 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Matt Hematik

   Dialogue[-50,44] · Matt Hematik

   Matt Hematik is wondering about something: why is Tarada Bay, a beach on the north coast, off limits? He asks you to go there.

   Dialogue

   1. “Keep listening.”
   2. “Accept and head straight for Tarada Bay”

   

2. 2Explore Tarada Bay

   Movement[-55,36]

   Click on the shell in the center of the map: you find a Broken Heart.

   • Broken Heartreceived

   

3. 3Show the Broken Heart to Matt Hematik

   Items[-50,44] · Matt Hematik

   Strange: the raw Sauroshells this heart comes from don't live on the island's surface. Matt asks you to find out about the use of Sauroshell Hearts and to question Tony.

   Dialogue

   1. “Show the Broken Heart”

   

4. 4Question Dina Tapio

   Dialogue[-46,44] · Dina Tapio

   Sauroshell Hearts are explosive by origin, but become stable when Sauroshells turn into Dragœufs, for a reason that is still mysterious.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask Dina about the Sauroshell Hearts”

   

5. 5Question Tony Bleurgh

   Dialogue[-47,44] · Tony Bleurgh

   Tony refuses to answer and advises you not to go to Tarada Bay, a dangerous place according to him.

   Dialogue

   1. “Talk about the Broken Heart found on the Tarada Bay beach”

   

6. 6Check in with Matt Hematik

   Dialogue[-50,44] · Matt Hematik

   Matt thinks Tony is hiding something: he asks you to inspect his hut. To get in, you need a key.

   Dialogue

   1. “Tell what you learned by talking to Dina Tapio and Tony Bleurgh”

   

7. 7Get the key to the hut

   Items

   • Cryptic Messagereceived

   

9. 9Decode the message with Matt Hematik

   Dialogue[-50,44] · Matt Hematik

   Show the message to Matt. Reading it backwards gets you nothing; you must write the words one below the other and read vertically. The message talks about using a “ration fairy” at Tarada Bay when the time comes.

   Dialogue

   1. “Show the cryptic message”
   2. “Read the text backwards”
   3. “Write the words one below the other and read vertically”

12. 12Talk to Captain Ebrous

    Dialogue[-55,36] · Captain Ebrous

    On the beach, make Captain Ebrous believe that you come on Tony's behalf: these smugglers were waiting for a delivery of explosive Hearts. She eventually sees through the ruse. Flee, or fight three crafty smugglers: both choices advance the quest.

    Dialogue

    1. “Start stammering... then run off as if your life depended on it”
    2. “Get ready for the fight”

    

13. 13Report or blackmail Tony

    Dialogue

    Last choice, which changes the reward and slightly influences the next quest. To report Tony, go see Matt Hematik: he gives you 2 random Large Scrolls. To blackmail him, go see Tony Bleurgh and demand kamas for your silence: he gives you 75,000 kamas. The quest ends.
