Quest Walkthrough
Step 1
Quest Text Oh no, oh no!! Gaettong, Gaettong!
Ahhh... Where are you, Gaettong!!
Step 2
Objective Excuse me...
Summary *Sob, Sob* ...Is that you, Gaettong...?
Ahh... Ahhh...!
Step 3
Oh my ancestors, what are we gonna do?
Looks like she mistook you for Gaettong and lost all her marbles...
Step 4
Objective Give the woman some water.
Summary Ugh... *Gulp, gulp*
*Sighs* ...Gaettong? Oh...
You're... not Gaettong. Uh...
Who are you? I haven't seen you around before.
The name's Dolswe NPC Knowledge.
Me and this here Traveler I serve got somethin' to ask ya.
Step 5
Ask me something...?
Actually, I have many questions myself.
Step 6
Objective We heard you lost your child.
Summary What...? Have you seen our Gaettong?
Where is he? Is he okay?!
No no, that ain't what we're here for. We're just hankerin'
to hear what ya got to say. Maybe we can lend a hand.
Ah... I see. Gaettong... *sighs*... But...
Who are you, and why are you looking for our Gaettong?
Step 7
Well, let me tell ya, this person right here is the finest problem-solver in this land!
Y'all don't need to fret!
Step 8
Objective Could you tell us what happened?
Summary A problem-solver... Do you find missing people too?
*Sighs* ...Alright. I'm desperate enough to try anything.
Gaettong was just a child who loved the mountains.
He would climb up there and play every day.
That day, like any other, he went up the mountain,
but he didn't come back by nightfall, nor the next morning, nor the day after.
Step 9
Everyone, including his father and the villagers searched for him,
but... we still haven't found him... *sobs*
Step 10
Objective There's rumors of the Samsin Tree NPC Knowledge taking children...
Summary *Sobs* ...Goddess Samsin NPC Knowledge is...? Why? Why—that's right!
Only the children born after fervent prayers have disappeared!
After giving us such precious love, if you were going to take them back,
you should have taken my life instead!! Why him! Why!
Bless your heart... That's just plain heart-wrenchin'.
Those young'uns were real precious. Why's this happenin'?
Step 11
Even when we report it, the constables just tell us to wait!
But when it's time to collect taxes, they come right on time!
Step 12
Objective No other evidence?
Summary ...What evidence could there be? After all, it's just a tree...
But the mothers said that as the children grew...
The tree also seemed to grow rapidly, unlike other trees...
Huh...? It can't be... It can't be... that the tree is really eating...
The tree grows while the kids vanish?
Now that's a head-scratcher... Anythin' else ya got?
Step 13
Objective What's going on?
Summary My son... Gaettong... Gaettong... Oh, Gaettong!
I don't regret spending a single coin, not one bit!
Sakes alive! That's mighty lucky.
But how'd ya find your boy?
The villagers each chipped in a bit
and hired a skilled bounty hunter!
Step 14
Objective A bounty hunter found the children?
Summary Hold up... Ain't bounty hunters supposed to catch runaway servants?
A bounty hunter found your young'uns?
Yes? Well... Somehow they knew our situation and
they came offering to help find our kids.
They charged quite a bit, but they said
they'd lower the fee if we cursed Goddess Samsin NPC Knowledge!
You kiddin' me? Lower the fee for cursin' the Goddess?
That's slimier than a barrel of snakes!
Step 15
Objective Let's track down those bounty hunters.
Summary Yup, I was just fixin' to say that.
Guess we're thinkin' alike, huh?
Step 16
Ugh... Urrgh...
Step 17
No, it can't be. Why would the Samsin Tree NPC Knowledge take my child?
Gaettong must have just lost his way... he's lost, that's all...
Step 18
We were grasping at straws, but my god,
we should have done it sooner!
Step 19
Oh!... My goodness...
My child!! Thank the Gods!
Step 20
Yeah, somethin' definitely smells fishy here. Don't ya think, Traveler?
Why lower a fee just for badmouthin' the goddess?
Step 21
...We haven't been digging into this for long.
But everything's falling into place too easily, don't you think?
Step 22
The bounty hunters ain't from 'round here.
They're probably kickin' back at the tavern by now, right?
Step 23
Let's check it out ourselves.
We gotta figure out why these tales are sproutin' like weeds.
