Under the Northern Lights

What to prepare

You need to be an Artificer of level 10 or higher to craft the Panduckler, with no cooperative crafting. If you have not completed That Be Frugal, One Time, Gordo McRamsay asks you for 50,000 kamas instead of giving you the Filtounga. The three fights are done solo.

The 25 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Hairod'og

   Dialogue[20,-29] · Hairod'og

   The quest starts in the Pandazaap Inn. The innkeeper immediately notices your hangover, an aftereffect of your conversation with the Yokai Doukwang, and offers you one of his remedies.

   

2. 2Drink Hairod'og's remedy

   [20,-29]

   Click on the jar on the innkeeper's counter. You are teleported to the Ether, at the crossroads of the worlds.

3. 3Talk to the Grandapan

   Dialogue · The Grandapan

   In the Ether, talk to the Grandapan. He tells two flames about the upcoming visit of an envoy of the Pandawa Goddess, but he does not see you and continues his conversation despite your efforts.

4. 4Tell Hairod'og about the vision

   Dialogue[20,-29] · Hairod'og

   Back in the tavern, tell Hairod'og what just happened. For him, it is a vision, and an honor: the Grandapan is staying in the Forbidden Inn, reserved for high dignitaries. He advises you to go see Surivitna.

5. 5Meet Surivitna

   Dialogue[20,-27] · Surivitna

   The shaman tells you about the flames of Wukin and Wukang, two breaths born from twin dragons that influence the five elements. To understand their message, you need to meet the Grandapan, and only Daimya Hikomi can grant you this privilege.

   Dialogue

   1. “Discuss your vision and the Grandapan”

   

6. 6Request an audience with Pandarin Sudopong

   Dialogue[22,-29] · Pandarin Sudopong

   At the bamboo palace, ask to see the Daimya. The Pandarin first refuses, even when you mention your vision and offer a bribe. After your apologies and the argument that the spirits of Pandala like you, he agrees to help you if you obtain three recommendations from residents struggling with spirits.

   The three recommendations can be obtained in any order you like: library, marketplace and bank.

   

7. 7Speak to the librarian

   Dialogue[21,-27] · Dick Kerboo Brandtawa

   At the Pandala Library, tell Dick Kerboo Brandtawa that you have come to put an end to the racket of the Yokai in the next room. Then go up to the upper floor by the stairs on the left.

   

8. 8Silence the Yokai

   Combat[21,-27]

   Upstairs, talk to one of the Yokai (noisy, hilarious or bawling) to ask it to keep it down: a fight starts, solo, against 5 invulnerable Yokai. You need to put all 5 in the Drowsy state during the same turn with the temporary spell Yokaikip. The Yokai hit with Yokunai (50 in Earth, from 3 to 10 range) and, from turn 2, also use Yokathwack (pushes back 4 cells, at exactly 2 range), Yokaiportation (teleportation and 2 range removed in an inverted circle of radius 6) or Trunkai (swap places, 80 in Water with life steal on an enemy).

   Yokaikip removes 1 infinite, stackable MP, once per turn and per target, and puts the Yokai in the Drowsy and Pacifist states for 1 turn. Each cast inflicts a penalty on you that depends on the targeted Yokai. If the floor is empty, simply go back down.

9. 9Get the librarian's recommendation

   Items[21,-27] · Dick Kerboo Brandtawa

   Go back down to the ground floor and tell Dick Kerboo Brandtawa that the spirits are gone. Delighted to have silence again, he hands you his recommendation.

   • Recommendation from Dick Kerboo Brandtawareceived

10. 10Talk to Ghao Zuo

    Dialogue[21,-29] · Ghao Zuo

    At the consumables marketplace, Ghao Zuo confirms that Voracious Yokai are helping themselves to the stock, which they mistake for offerings. He refuses to use force: you need to find a dish to satisfy their hunger.

    

11. 11Get Gordo McRamsay's Filtounga

    Items[-2,-1] · Gordo McRamsay

    Head to the fry shop, above the Amakna Village zaap, and ask Gordo McRamsay for something filling. He gives you a reworked Filtounga, a bad dosage of which put several of his guests to sleep for a week.

    The Filtounga is free if you have completed That Be Frugal, One Time. Otherwise, Gordo McRamsay asks you for 50,000 kamas for a set of 100 fries and burger.

    • Gordo McRamsay's Filtoungareceived

12. 12Feed the Voracious Yokai

    [21,-29]

    Go back to the marketplace and give Gordo McRamsay's Filtounga to Ghao Zuo. Then talk to the Voracious Yokai: it grabs the dish, gulps it down in one go and disappears.

    • 1 × Gordo McRamsay's Filtoungato give

13. 13Get the cellarer's recommendation

    Items[21,-29] · Ghao Zuo

    Talk to Ghao Zuo again: the Filtounga filled the Yokai's bellies, and they will not be back any time soon. To thank you, he gives you his recommendation.

    • Recommendation from Ghao Zuoreceived

14. 14Drive the Yokai out of the bank

    Combat[20,-30] · Suggestible Yokai

    In front of the bank, enter the basement by the stairs on the right of the building. Talk to the little Suggestible Yokai, attracted by the glittering kamas placed next to him: he leaves.

    Dialogue

    1. “Take a kama out of your pocket and give it to the Yokai”
    2. “Promise the Yokai that the banker will give him one kama a day for a century if he leaves”

    

15. 15Face the Pandissidans

    Combat[20,-30]

    Once the spirit has gone, choose to face the Pandissidans: a fight starts, solo against three Pandissidans. One of them steps back one cell and becomes invisible for 1 turn as soon as it takes a line of damage.

    Dialogue

    1. “Face the Pandissidans once the spirit has disappeared”

    Their spells: Ill-Advised Advice (steals 2 range and removes 75 push resistance), Desheption (100 in Air), Bailout (60 in Earth with life steal, in a line), Insipidronin Technique (100 in Neutral, pushes back 2 cells), Depouchipinch (80 in Fire, steals 1 AP) and Escroc-no jutsu (pushes back 3 cells, +10% stackable critical hit chance, lost as soon as you land a critical hit on him).

16. 16Get the banker's recommendation

    Items[20,-30] · Yendong

    Leave the room and enter the bank to talk to Yendong. For your help, he gives you his recommendation.

    Dialogue

    1. “Tell him you have put the Pandissidans out of action”

    • Recommendation from Yendongreceived

17. 17Show the recommendations to the Pandarin

    Items[22,-29] · Pandarin Sudopong

    Go back to the bamboo palace and show the three recommendations to Pandarin Sudopong. He acknowledges your perseverance and grants you an audience with the Daimya. Then talk to Samurai Holi so that he lets you through.

18. 18Bow to Daimya Hikomi

    Dialogue[22,-29] · Daimya Hikomi

    Explain your vision to her. The Grandapan is meditating in the Astral Plane and the Forbidden Inn remains closed to you, but the Daimya can summon him in his disembodied form. You first need to pass the Pandasiman trial to enter the Pandassembly Hall.

    Dialogue

    1. “Bow to the Daimya”

19. 19Talk to Master Kwatimbe

    Dialogue[20,-31] · Master Kwatimbe

    At the dojo, tell Master Kwatimbe that the Daimya sent you. First trial: craft your own shield in the village of Pandala.

    Dialogue

    1. “Say that the Daimya is sending you to pass the Pandasiman trial”

    

20. 20Craft the Panduckler

    Crafting[23,-28]

    Enter the artificers' workshop in Pandala Village and craft the Panduckler with 2 Pandawushu Artefact of each element (Roc, Wind, Wood, Fire, Water), 20 Bamboo Wood and 1 Pandaburg. You need to be an Artificer of level 10 or higher.

    The shield must absolutely be crafted in this workshop: elsewhere, it does not work. Cooperative crafting is not possible.

    • 2 × Wind Pandawushu Artefactto hand over

21. 21Pass Master Kwatimbe's trial

    Combat[20,-31] · Master Kwatimbe

    Equip the Panduckler in place of your shield, then go back to the dojo to talk to the Master. He challenges you to neutralize him: a fight starts, solo.

    Dialogue

    1. “Show the Panduckler and say that you are ready for the trial”

    • Master Kwatimbefight · levels 100 to 130 · 1,600 to 3,000 HP · 11 AP · 6 MP

22. 22Join the Daimya in the Pandassembly Hall

    Movement[22,-29] · Daimya Hikomi

    At the bamboo palace, talk to Samurai Holi to enter, then equip the Panduckler again to access the Pandassembly Hall, the room on the left. The Daimya shows you this place where the island's major decisions are made, then asks you to take position: stand on the carpet in front of the platform to see the Grandapan appear.

23. 23Drink with the Grandapan

    Dialogue[22,-29] · The Grandapan

    The Pandawa spiritual guide was expecting your visit and offers you a journey. To hear the Goddess's voice, drink a mug of Pandazahi or Pandaporo, your choice. You are teleported to the Ether, at the crossroads of the worlds, with the Grandapan and two dragons.

    Dialogue

    1. “Drink a tankard of Pandazahi”
    2. “Drink a tankard of Pandaporo”
    3. “Ask where exactly you are”

    The first two choices are interchangeable: you just need to drink one of the two drinks, depending on which one you bought.

24. 24Talk to the dragons Imagiro and Orukam

    Dialogue[21,-33]

    First talk to Imagiro, the white dragon: he mentions the awakening of Pandala's ancient spirits and the soul cut in two, Imagiro and Orukam, the Two who must become One again. Then talk to Orukam, the black dragon: to find the Ink Dofus, you must reconstitute the divine paw of the Pandawa Goddess by finding the 5 claws of the elements. The conversation is cut short: the dragon expels you.

25. 25Go back to Daimya Hikomi

    Dialogue[22,-29] · Daimya Hikomi

    Go back to the room on the right of the palace and tell the Daimya what you experienced. Promise her you will set off in search of the claws: the quest ends. Continue the conversation to unlock the next quest.

    Dialogue

    1. “Reply that you will see this quest through to the end”
