## Walkthrough


### Step 1

- **Dialogue**: Wooden stakes! They used these grotesque things
to sever Samsin's water veins!


### Step 2

- **Objective**: Grotesque things?

- **Summary**: Well, good heavens! Who'd drive such ugly stakes in here?
Ya reckon this is why the young'uns went missin'?


### Step 3

- **Reward**: Let's pull out these stakes...! Huh?
How are they driven in so tightly?


### Step 4

- **Objective**: For the happiness of everyone.

- **Summary**: ...Haha. The bitterness in one's heart,
is not something that can be easily undone.
If you're ready to tread that challenging path, I'll help you.
Samsin drew power from the people's desires.


### Step 5

- **Objective**: Anything we can do?

- **Summary**: First, we need to dispel the misunderstandings among the people.
It won't be easy, but it must be done.


### Step 6

- **Objective**: This is the only way.

- **Summary**: Are you really going to destroy Samsin?
...Hmph. A foolish choice.
So, in the end, it will go as they planned. ...There is a stone pagoda
overlooking the Samsin Tree, which is filled with resentment.
The desire of the people once empowered her, 
but now the resentment and curses held in the pagoda are the source of her power.
Gather some pork and a singer and begin a cleanse.
Then you will be able to face Samsin, no, the corrupted tree.


### Step 7

- **Objective**: Cleansing?

- **Summary**: It's a ritual to release resentment. We'll lessen the resentment
and weaken the power of Samsin, or rather, that tree.


### Step 8

- **Objective**: What's a Gidae?

- **Summary**: The fella playin' the Janggu next to the mudang is called a Gidae! 
I'll be huntin' someone down to handle the cleansing.
Luckily, I spotted a Poongmool Troupe near the stone pagoda. 
Slip 'em some coin and ask 'em to help out with the cleansing.
See y'all in a bit!


### Step 9

- **Reward**: Good idea. Chief Royal... I mean, Dolswe. Hmm. 
I forgot for a moment that we have this capable person with us.


### Step 10

- **Reward**: But... now it's the opposite.
Resentment and cries. Curses and hatred...


### Step 11

- **Reward**: Convince the people and bring them there.
After that, I'll tell you what needs to be done.


### Step 12

- **Reward**: Traveler! Let's git movin'!
We gotta help Goddess Samsin, quicker than a hound dog on a hare!


### Step 13

- **Reward**: It was the resentment and deceit of Humans that turned Samsin that way.
I just want to give her peace as soon as possible.


### Step 14

- **Reward**: Oh hey! Just thought of the perfect person!
Traveler, fetch us some pork and a Gidae!


### Step 15

- **Reward**: Scoot along now, Traveler!


### Step 16

- **Reward**: Y-Yes! Of course!
We gotta calm her down!


### Step 17

- **Reward**: What?! ...Well, ain't no other way 'bout it.
Samsin's turned into... that...


### Step 18

- **Reward**: Pork, a singer, and a cleansing...
Oh boy, we got our work cut out for us.
