Ah... No! No! It wasn't me!
I... I... I freeze up and forget when I'm scared...!
Ahhh... I'm... I'm confused...

Step 3
Them kkebi go rabid for buckwheat jelly, don't they?
Why don'tcha try givin' him some? Might just perk 'im right up.
Step 4
Objective Feed him some Buckwheat Jelly Knowledge Item.
Summary Oh, delicious... *muttering* Thanks to you, I didn't forget!
It just came flooding back! Are you wondering about who's making Mr. Kims forget?
Why it's the Blue-Clad Youth NPC Knowledge of course!
Hey, Mr. Kim. If you get sucked into that Geogugwi entrance over there...
Do be careful, Mr. Kim! Forget! Forgot!
Ah... wait! This is getting spooky!
Forget... forget... I must forget quickly...

Geogugwi entrance? So that's the "Geogugeogu".
C'mon now, spill the beans properly now, will ya?
Step 5
He... heek! Ah... alright, I'll tell you.
Geogugwi Cave is... right down below!
Step 6
Palttuk was hollerin' "Geogugeogu" and "Blue" and all that.
Somethin's goin' on in there for sure, let's hustle on over and check it out.
Step 7
Nom nom... Huh? Mr. Kims? Are you okay?
You're the first to return in one piece after ticking him off!
Step 8
Objective What was he like before?
Summary Hold on a second,
I've still got a bite of buckwheat jelly Knowledge Item left... *gulps*
Step 9
The Youth was always such a kind soul,
but he seems to have gotten really mad lately.
Step 10
Objective Why?
Summary When Mr. Kims first started visiting, he'd never take their memories, not at all.
He'd ask them a question, and if he liked their answer, he'd bestow wisdom on them.
But more and more Mr. Kims began showing up. And they all started
giving the same answers! Almost like they were sharing secrets together!
Step 11
So, one day, the Blue-clad Youth NPC Knowledge decided to take action...
and gave the visiting Mr. Kims a severe scolding!
Step 12
Objective [Tale] Lost Memories!
Summary [Tale] Lost Memories!
Step 13
Well now, is that how the yakgwa crumbled?
So, he was just tryin' to do some good at the start then, huh?
Step 14
Objective The people betrayed his good intentions.
Summary That's right, Mr. Kim. He got quite flustered
when all the other Mr. Kims arrived and kept giving the same tired responses.
Step 15
So, in a nutshell, it's a whole mess with a bunch
o' bad guys all tangled up in there, ain't it?
Step 16
Objective Jang Hyeongwang met the Youth by chance.
Summary He figured out the riddle and got himself a heap of wisdom in return.
Then, he went ahead and shared it with his buddy, Lord Choi Jinyong.
Then his troublemakin' kids went and got themselves some smarts,
and wouldn't ya know it, they passed them state exams just fine.
Step 17
Now, them dang centipedes, who ain't fond of the yogwe,
they seen these folks reapin' the benefits from the Blue-clad Youth NPC Knowledge's powers.
Step 18
Seems like things've been goin' just peachy for the centipedes.
Now, I can't help but wonder, what was that gunpowder we saw earlier for?
Step 19
Objective Maybe to seal the cave once they're done with him?
Summary It's all makin' sense now! So, when they said to study at the sacred site,
they really meant to track down that Blue-clad Youth NPC Knowledge.
But y'know, all them rumors are sayin' that if you head to that sacred site,
you'll come back dumber than a bag of hammers with no memories!
And if nobody comes lookin', they can wipe clean any trace of the
sneaky shenanigans the ministers' boys used to pass their exams!
Step 20
Oh, I know! We should whip up our own fake handbook.
I know a thing or two 'bout writin'. I'm sure we can pull it off.
Step 21
Objective Hear what?
Summary Hahaha! Mr. Kim, look over there!
Look at all those Mr. Kims! They're flocking in by the dozens!
Ugh, I am absolutely exhausted.
Why is this sacred site nestled in such a remote, mountainous location?
Hang in there! Remember, we pooled every last coin we had
just to purchase this second-class handbook.
Step 22
Oh? Do you see over there? There are people.
Do you reckon they've snatched up all the prime spots?
Step 23
Hahaha! Mr. Kim, while you were off in la-la land,
in the blink of an eye, everything went awry! Haha!
Step 24
You really fixin' to blow it up, Traveler?
Forgetkkebi NPC Knowledge, how can ya say somethin' so downright mean?
Step 25
Not everyone who went in there had bad intentions,
but they sure all ended up like thoughtless fools.
Step 26
Objective Alright then, let's take these explosives to those rocks and...
Summary Alrighty then, as they say, "You never know what's comin' tomorrow."
And well, guess it's tomorrow, folks. Let's get this show on the road.
Step 27
Will the Blue-clad Youth NPC Knowledge be okay?
I hope he doesn't get hurt too much.
Step 28
Ah, yes! That's right! He was always such a good kid.
We can't forget that! So, what should our plan be now, Mr. Kim?
Step 29
Ah, fiddlesticks! Ain't no doubt about it.
You just get to work on them handbooks, and—wait! Y'all hear that?
Step 30
Objective I lost the Dokkebi summon scroll.
Summary Mr. Kim forgets too, eh?
Don't forget this one!
