When Entering Floor 40

"Hero... break... seal...
Dragon's... power...
Restore...!"

When inspecting The Earth Tablet

The ancient text must hold clues to breaking the seal. I'd better talk to Juniper

When inspecting The Earth Seal

It appears to be a seal of some kind. You can feel a small amount of power trickling through the crack.

When initially inspecting any of The Dragon claw altar earth.png Dragon Claw Altars

It looks like the claw once held something in its grip.

Initially talking to Juniper icon.pngJuniper.

Juniper
You found another tablet, even deeper underground?
Come with me, the last thing we need are gawkers.

At Icon bathhouse.png The Bathhouse.

Juniper
I should only need a moment to translate this.
...
...
Juniper
Hush!
...
Well!
There are some extremely unusual terms here that I haven't encountered before. I can't be sure of the translation.
You said that the caverns below the Mines are elementally charged with water?
We're going to need the assistance of someone who specializes in very exotic flora.

Juniper
I'm glad to see you've been paying attention!

Juniper
It's always SUCH a delight when you open your mouth.

I'm sure you've seen Celine with her head buried in that tome, the Codex Mistria.
From what I've heard, esoteric hardly begins to describe the contents. It may be just what we need!"

At Celine's Cottage.

Celine
[Player] and Juniper? This is a surprise!
Juniper
Celine, we come to you with a mission of utmost importance.
Celine
Ooh, sounds fun. I'll put on some tea.
And I just picked up a packet of those cookies you like, Juniper.
Juniper
How lovely!
Er- I mean... I suppose this will give us time to fill you in on all the details...
Celine
What an incredible sounding place! I'd love to see what grows in the Tide Caverns.

Celine
I think I'll stick with viewing the samples in the museum.

Juniper
Please focus, you two.
Celine
Let's see what the Codex has to say...
An elementally charged, underground environment... That certainly narrows down our search.
Is there anything else that could aid us, Juniper?
Juniper
Witchspeak is a highly contextual language, so there's a good chance the correct plant will help me translate the rest of the text.
Celine
That's useful!
I think our best bet is probably Jade Dulse.
Juniper
Let's give it a try...
Find the fish whose arrow flies true;
A jewel the color of the blue sea;
Gather up dulse of jade;
Find the hunter in the coral.
This is certainly it!
Celine
How exciting!
Sounds like there's still some puzzle solving to do huh, [Player].

Juniper
Well, I suppose you have succeeded once already.

Juniper
I trust you'll make the obvious and correct choice.

Your assistance has been invaluable, Celine. Thank you.
Celine
Anytime!
Juniper
Let us know if you need any further assistance, [Player]. I look forward to hearing what you discover next.
Celine
And feel free to come over anytime, you two! This was fun!

When inspecting The Dragon claw altar earth.png Dragon Claw Altars (after receiving translations)

"According to Juniper's translation, this claw is meant to hold an Archerfish."

"According to Juniper's translation, this claw is meant to hold a Jade Dulse."

"According to Juniper's translation, this claw is meant to hold a Coral Mantis."

"According to Juniper's translation, this claw is meant to hold a Sapphire."

Follow up

"I'll admit that the difficulty of that tablet's translation was humbling.
Of course, without me, you never would have solved it.
Oh ho ho ho!"

"I never would have thought that the Codex Mistria could be used to help solve an ancient riddle!
I wonder what other secrets it's hiding..."

"Juniper showed me the rubbing of the second tablet! What an amazing find.
To think she was stumped and had to ask for help!"
