Didn't think Centipedes would be around here.

It's almost guaranteed at this point,
but it looks like they're up to somethin' in Bukpo too.
For some reason, Seodong betrayed 'em,
and Lee Duksoo came here to catch him, tie up loose ends.
And on top of that, the couple we were rootin' for
turned out to be siblings! Don't that just beat all?

Step 3
Objective Didn't think Centipedes would be around here.
Summary It's almost guaranteed at this point,
but it looks like they're up to somethin' in Bukpo too.
For some reason, Seodong betrayed 'em,
and Lee Duksoo NPC Knowledge came here to catch him, tie up loose ends.
And on top of that, the couple we were rootin' for
turned out to be siblings! Don't that just beat all?
Step 4
Objective We will.
Summary We need to at least stop him! I feel for Seodong,
but we can't let him hurt innocent folks!
You're not planning on killing him, are you?
There must be a way! If we can search together...!
W-well, I'm sure there is, but if you let a fire go unchecked,
it'll eat up everythin' it touches!
Reminds me of that incident with Mihyun back in Donghae.
Ain't this Seungsan NPC Knowledge's field of expertise? Think, Traveler!
Step 5
There has to be a way. No, there is!
If he's become a "Jigwi"...!
Step 6
Objective Please tell us more.
Summary Poor Seodong always did his best
to take care of my fever.
He would try anything if he thought there
was even the slightest chance it might help.
And his most recent research was... on the Jigwi.
A spirit with a ball of scorching sorrow lodged in its heart.
Step 7
He wished to learn the Jigwi's method of controlling its
inner fire and the flow of energy within itself... But...
Step 8
Objective What is this method?
Summary They say the Jigwi is the manifestation of
a man's unfulfilled love that begins to burn, literally.
So, as you can put out a fire with a thick blanket,
you must lure it to an enclosed chamber.
In his book, they used a straw doll that resembles
the woman it loves to lure it.
Huh? So what you're sayin' is, if we can calm his mind,
we can at least douse the flames?
Step 9
Actually, I've been thinkin' 'bout what your mama said,
and somethin' just don't sit right with me.
Step 10
Objective What about it?
Summary Hmm... I ain't got nothin' to back it up just yet.
When I'm sure I'm sure, I'll give ya a holler.
If we do this right, we might be able to turn
poor Seodong back into a man.
Of course, there ain't no guarantee of success.
But we gotta try for the poor fella.
Step 11
What do you think, Traveler?
After all, you'll be doin' all the heavy liftin'.
Step 12
Objective Good.
Summary Right, I knew it!
You ain't the type to say no to such a noble cause.
I got somewhere to stop by with Lady Seonhwa,
so can I ask a favor of ya?
Can ya whip up a straw doll
to lure out our Jigwi?
Step 13
(Dolswe NPC Knowledge hurried off with Seonhwa.)
Step 14
We already know Lee Duksoo NPC Knowledge's crooked, that's nothin' new,
but Seodong bein' a centipede is just...!
Step 15
It's a real shame about Seodong,
but we got a heap of lives at stake. We gotta do what we gotta do.
Step 16
...
Step 17
Follow this path and you'll find an abandoned village.
That's where you need to lure him to.
