3. 3Question Turtelonia's Spokesman

   Dialogue[-84,-16] · Turtelonia's Spokesman

   Don't leave right away: talk to the Spokesman. Turtelonia congratulates you, since few manage to beat her. To make Ixchelonia appear, a sacrifice is needed: go back to the priest to find out which creature to sacrifice, and where.

   Dialogue

   1. “Explain your problem and ask how to speak with Ixchelonia”

4. 4Meet the priest at the sacrificial altar

   Movement[-84,-13] · Ixchelonia Priest

   Leave the dungeon and tell the priest at the entrance about your encounter. He arranges to meet you in the depths of the lake: go underwater via the stairs at the bottom left of the dungeon map. There, he asks you to find an Albino Prancing Chimera to sacrifice, and seaweed to tie it to the altar.

5. 5Capture the Albino Prancing Chimera

   Combat[-86,-17] · Albino Prancing Chimera

   Talk to the Albino Prancing Chimera to try to capture it. A fight starts, solo.

7. 7Gather 5 seaweed

   Below the water surface, click the seaweed on these five maps.

   • [-83,-14] the seaweed on the map
   • [-82,-16] the seaweed in the center of the map

   Go back to the altar and click the pedestal to tie the chimera to it.

9. 9Dance during the ritual

   Dialogue[-84,-13] · Ixchelonia Priest

   Talk to the priest to perform the sacrifice: you dance while he recites the incantation. At the end, he congratulates you and invites you to see whether Ixchelonia agrees to appear.

   Dialogue

   1. “Spin around counterclockwise”
   2. “Clap three times, slap your thighs once and your cheeks twice”
   3. “Walk around the albino chimera clockwise”
   4. “Slap the albino chimera's left cheek, then its right cheek, and shout in its right ear and then in its left ear”

   Each answer costs energy: 500, then 1,500, then 3,000, then 3,000. Have more than 8,000 energy points so you don't die; a potion will give them back to you later.

10. 10Go back to the Spokesman

    Dialogue[-84,-16] · Turtelonia's Spokesman

    Talk to the Spokesman in front of the dungeon, then talk to him again inside the dungeon. To make the goddess appear, you have to pray in front of the pedestal in the center of the map.

    Dialogue

    1. “Say that you must communicate with the moon goddess and that you have Turtelonia's agreement”
    2. “Say that the sacrifice has been made and ask how to make Ixchelonia appear”

11. 11Make Ixchelonia appear

    [-84,-16] · Ixchelonia

    Click the pedestal in the center of the map. Show the stone to Ixchelonia: she gave it to her most faithful follower, who left for Amakna to spread his cult. She agrees to meet his descendant, but her wrath will be terrible if he is an impostor.

12. 12Talk to Ixchelonia again

    Dialogue[-84,-16] · Ixchelonia

    Leave the dungeon and talk to Ixchelonia again. She recognizes in Crokalcrolak the descendant of her faithful follower, and asks you to escort him safe and sound to Astrub to earn his trust.

13. 13Recover your energy

    Items[-84,-16] · Ixchelonia Priest

    The priest is pleased to see the moon turtle happy. He gives you a Crocuzkoian Potion, which restores the 9,000 energy points you lost.
