???:
Liel where are you, you little brat? Eh?
Insula:
Ahoy there... You don't look like a Fanatic Shark. Name's Insula. Didn't expect to find another soul wandering these parts...
Insula:
Not from here. Live on an island far off the coast.
Insula:
Took my crew out to sea a few days ago to plunder merchant ships, or catch fish if we couldn't find any ships.
Insula:
We got close to this merchant fleet, but then the Fanatic Shark ambushed us.
Insula:
And a storm hit when we were fighting... the kind that could tear ships apart. Waves taller than a mast.
Insula:
My crew and I were knocked out by one of 'em. We came on to that beach by yonder...
Insula:
And if that ain't bad enough, those damned Fanatic Sharks also got washed up on this island.
Insula:
They're savages full of bloodlust.
Insula:
Why, they butcher every sailor on every ship they loot.
Insula:
Me and the boys' been busy fortifying our encampment, in case the Fanatic Shark attack. Haven't paid much attention to where we are...
Insula:
You said we're in Rinascita?
Insula:
Small wonder this place's crawling with strange critters and Echoes... I just hope none of 'em get to Liel.
Insula:
Liel is... my ship's mate. Said he saw a tower we could move into for better protection.
Insula:
Went to scout the place and that's the last we heard of him. Kid's nothing but trouble...
Insula:
I've looked around and figured that's the tower Liel was on about.
Insula:
Tried to go inside, but it's one big twisted maze. Friend, won't you help me search for the lad?
Insula:
Thank you, thank you, friend. I'll reward you after we find Liel. Meet me by the tower when you're ready.
???:
*Coughs* Bloody Fanatic Shark...
???:
If they've hurt Liel, I'll skin 'em alive...
???:
Liel? You're not Liel!
Itzel:
I'm Itzel, Liel's older sister.
Itzel:
You've seen him? Skinny lad, loves sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
Itzel:
Said he saw a tower we could move into for better protection. Went to scout it and hasn't come back since.
Itzel:
Heck no. We're from a sunny little island far away.
Itzel:
We do a little bit of ship raiding during the trade season. And we fish when the pickings are slim.
Itzel:
Our fearless leader spied a grand merchant fleet off in the distance.
Itzel:
But our tiny ship was never meant for the deep water and couldn't catch up.
Itzel:
Then a storm hit and wrecked our ship. Next thing I knew, I woke up here, on this beach.
Itzel:
Yeah... Speaking of here, where are we?
Itzel:
Rinascita... I've heard of this place.
Itzel:
You know I love to fish. I could catch enough to feed a whole crew.
Itzel:
But I hear there are Echoes in Rinascita that could haul in a bigger catch than I ever could.
Itzel:
Ehh... but that's not important. I just want my little brother back.
Itzel:
I think he's in that tower. Went in myself before, but it's a labyrinth inside, and there're monsters everywhere.
Itzel:
Splendid, welcome aboard friend.
Itzel:
Once we find Liel, you can have the supplies I scavenged. See ya at the tower.
???:
You brat!
???:
Oh, where did you run off to?!
Insula:
Liel... I was training him to lead our crew someday.
Insula:
Come friend, let's go... whatever's in our way will get smashed to a pulp.
Itzel:
Liel...
Itzel:
I was kidding about the fish guts. Don't go Liel, I'll serve you the plumpest side of the fattest fish we have.
Itzel:
You know... Liel's love of fish was what got me into fishing.
Itzel:
You can have all my catch once we're out of here. They're meaningless to me now.
Itzel:
But before we leave, that monster at the top of the tower must die.
Itzel:
Like the last two towers, this place is filled with poisonous gas. We might see visions of the past here as well.
Insula:
Let's look at the vision here... Oh crap, the Fanatic Sharks captured Liel.
Insula:
Go Liel!
Itzel:
...
Insula:
Itzel, you don't look too well. Didn't you see? Liel dealt with that Fanatic Shark.
Itzel:
But how was he getting out?
Insula:
Liel...
Itzel:
...
Actor No. 1:
We're here now, kid...
Actor No. 2:
Liel...
One of the tower's barriers seems to have weakened.
Insula:
Blinky's here. It's summoned a bunch of copies！
Itzel:
Damn, their frequencies show only one copy is real.
Itzel:
We'll destroy the real copy to kill it for good.
Itzel:
Go to hell!
Insula:
Rest in peace Liel.
Itzel:
Die! Every bit of you!
Insula:
This one's for Liel!
Insula:
Those archers again! And look, Fanatic Shark specters... They met their end here!
Itzel:
Oh Liel, I hope you made it out alive.
Itzel:
Even if Liel got away, he's no match for that prowling monster.
Insula:
Don't worry, he's a smart kid, and he's wearing your jammer. He can handle a few Tacet Discords.
Itzel:
I hope so... You'd better not be dead, you idiot...
Insula:
Blasted thing keeps running away.
Insula:
Those fish nuts... Watch out friend, something's attacking us from above.
Itzel:
Liel, wait up...
Itzel:
Argh, the path is broken. Wait, what's that floating in the air? It's Liel's vision!
Insula:
He got away from the Fanatic Shark? Can't be. When did he learn to fly?
Itzel:
He's not flying. He's running on something... Are those bookcases on the right?
Insula:
Taste this!
Itzel:
Out of the way! I'll slaughter you all to get Liel back!
Insula:
These Fanatic Sharks all got skewered!
Itzel:
They were ambushed. Everyone stay alert.
Itzel:
Look at that little rascal scamper....
Insula:
Takes after his sister. Hahaha! He might even be a secret Resonator!
Itzel:
What is this place? Are we at the center of the tower?
Insula:
Who cares? Where's the blinky one? Its days are over!
Insula:
They're all dead in a poof! Good riddance!
Insula:
Oh, I hope Liel didn't run into that monster.
Insula:
This is getting old...
Insula:
Hah... You're trapped now!
Insula:
Can't be. Fanatic Shark, in here?
Insula:
Ha! What comes around goes around those fish freaks!
Insula:
That thing again? Watch out, friend!
Insula:
Got away again. Ah, blast it...
Insula:
So many bodies. Those Fanatic Sharks bit off a little more than they could chew.
Insula:
Feel my blade!
Insula:
Coward! Fight me like a... a ... whatever you are!
Insula:
Are these the specters of the dead Fanatic Sharks? Am I hallucinating?
Insula:
Friend, doesn't this place look familiar to you?
Insula:
Friend, we've been here before.
Insula:
Those specters are right. We're trapped in this maze.
Insula:
Going round and round in circles. Let's split up and look for clues.
Insula:
Friend, any luck on your end?
Insula:
Under the elevator... Look, a secret passage. Reminds me of this story...
Insula:
One time, a guy from the Mad Mutts nicked this thing off me and hid it on top of an elevator compartment.
Insula:
...Eh, now's not the best time for stories. Let's just get outta here, fast.
Insula:
Point is... lemme show you how I got my stuff back.
Insula steps into the elevator and rips all the safety brackets out. The elevator drops down the shaft with a clang, and you peer into the gaping shaft.
Insula:
See friend, I'm fit and strong.
Insula:
We can keep looking for a way out.
Insula:
This place is built so weirdly...
Insula:
Last time I was here, I also kept doubling back.
Insula:
Friend, any luck on your end?
Insula:
Fine, we'll keep looking together.
Insula:
Liel isn't here.
Insula:
I got a feeling he might've run into that monster.
Insula:
Anyway, thanks for your help so far.
Insula:
I found some supplies while I was exploring. Not a lot, but here, take 'em.
Insula:
If that's not enough, find us back at camp. Itzel can catch fish for you.
Insula:
Haha... Right you are, friend.
Insula:
I had a strange feeling in the tower...
Insula:
Felt like I was being stalked by a Tacet Discord, but it moved with purpose.
Insula:
...As if someone sent it here to guard the tower.
Insula:
Friend, this big tower, who built it and why? You curious at all?
Insula:
I bet we'll find Liel once we get to the bottom of this mystery.
Insula:
Friend, I'm gonna continue looking around on my own. We'll meet again soon.
Itzel:
These drawings might tell us something about the tower's past.
Itzel:
The four bases beneath them seem to have markings. Could they be clues for how to restore them to their rightful positions?
Itzel:
It looks mighty angry.
Itzel:
Friend, help is at hand!
Itzel:
You solved the riddle... and you've never been here before?
Beneath these steps, the heir of Fisalia was called to serve the cause.
He traveled west into Thessaleo Fells, where the three towers of destiny loomed in the distance.
Reaching the towers, only shadows of the Fisalia's heir remained as he fulfilled his duty.
Where do the schools of fish swim? Over the tower, into the silent night sky above...
Itzel:
The Fanatic Shark tried to attack this place...
Itzel:
We should keep an eye on their specters. Might be helpful.
Itzel:
They're... they're Fanatic Sharks?
Rover:
What are Fanatic Sharks?
Itzel:
Our sworn enemies... They washed up onshore with us.
Itzel:
Hah, those fish nuts are better off dead than alive. Now their specters show us the right path.
Itzel:
Let it go. We still need to press on, my friend.
Itzel:
It's that thing again, attacking from a distance. Gutless cur.
Itzel:
Argh... It got away again.
Itzel:
Together friend!
Itzel:
You'll not escape this time!
Itzel:
Looks like none of the Fanatic Sharks made it out alive.
Itzel:
Where could that lad have run off to...?
Itzel:
After I get you back, Liel, you'll be eating fish gut rations.
Itzel:
I told him to stay out of trouble, but he never listened. But oh, he'll start listening after a return voyage of nothing but fish guts!
Itzel:
Speaking of fish, see that gaping hole outside in the sky? Look at all the fish swimming into it.
Itzel:
Sends a chill down my spine... Like a maw that spawns unholy monsters.
Itzel:
Ones larger and more terrifying than what we've faced up till now...
Itzel:
Whatever it is, I'm sure it has something to do with Liel's disappearance.
Itzel:
And I won't give up before I find him.
Itzel:
Not sure if you've noticed, but I'm a Resonator. For some reason, my Tacet Mark reacted when I got close to that monster.
Itzel:
I'll use my Tacet Mark to track the monster down. With luck, that'll lead me to Liel.
Itzel:
We didn't find Liel, but nevertheless, I appreciate your help, friend.
Itzel:
I won't forget you. Till next time!
You find some fish left by Insula and Itzel, neatly laid in a box on the shore.
You figure they must have patched up their ship and sailed off with their crew.
Insula:
Thank you for helping us, friend.
Insula:
Have you spoken to Itzel? She could use a kind ear.
Insula:
What a day. The life of an island Exile, robbing just to survive... People like us die every day.
Insula:
But Liel... Liel was different. He was too kind for this kind of life. He did the sailing for us, never the plundering.
Insula:
I really liked that kid... Had dreams of training him to be the next captain. Ha, an odd choice now that I think about it...
Insula:
If he became captain, maybe we'd stop being Exiles and turn a new leaf—as legitimate traders and such.
Insula:
But that's all a pointless dream now... The fate of the crew still rests with me. I have to guide them through this muck.
Insula:
It's over now, friend. Itzel and I thank you for accompanying us.
Insula:
We'll fix our ship and leave this place of sorrow behind.
Insula:
None of us want to stay in Rinascita after what we've been through.
Insula:
I guess we should say our goodbyes. So long, friend!
Insula:
Oh, and if you're ever on a ship we've captured, you get to keep your stuff, haha!
But Insula's laughter is hollow. His expression is stony, and he sinks into silence.
Itzel:
Friend...
Itzel:
I can't bring Liel back from the dead, but I've avenged his death by destroying his killer. That's all I can do.
Itzel:
So, you got any questions for me?
Itzel:
We sailed Sentinel knows how many seas. I always thought the ocean would be our grave.
Itzel:
Never thought Liel would meet his end on land... in the depth of an icy tower...
Itzel mutters to herself while squeezing the compass pendant.
Itzel:
Come home Liel...
Insula appears downcast as if everything he sees and hears means nothing.
Insula:
What did I tell ya, Itzel? There's our destination.
Itzel:
Shut up... We'd be running around like headless chickens if I listened to you. It was I who pinned that tower down!
Insula:
Hey, don't make a fuss... Oh, hi friend! You're here!
Insula:
Of course. Itzel says she feels the monster's frequencies from within that tower.
Itzel:
Unlike the decoys in the other two towers, this one there is probably real.
Insula:
Come on. Time to bring Liel back.
Itzel:
That brat had better be in one piece when we find him!

Liel:
Sis... Chief... I'm not gonna make it...
Liel:
Those monsters seem to be Echoes guarding this tower.
Liel:
The jammer my sis gave me works on Tacet Discords only. But these are Echoes.
Liel:
Sis... Chief... I'm not gonna make it...
