Walkthrough

Solo Duty

Upon speaking with Slowfix's friend, Brayflox Alltalks, you will enter a solo duty where you must protect Brayflox from the Illuminati.

• You will fight alongside Y'shtola and Alphinaud, who both possess potent healing abilities to heal Brayflox and yourself as needed. Your focus should be damaging enemies and maintaining enmity to prevent them from hurting your allies.
• Do not let Y'shtola or Brayflox be defeated, or else the duty will fail.
• Once the duty starts, disregard the boss and focus on dispatching the additional enemies. After a few enemies have fallen, King Gobtank G-IV will unleash a large number of bombs on the field. Immediately knock them away from you and your allies with auto-attacks or quick-hitting skills to avoid major damage, prioritizing the safety of yourself and Y'shtola.
• As more additional enemies spawn, Y'shtola will prepare to cast Spiritual Ray, leaving herself defenseless for a period of time. You must draw the attention of all the enemies targeting her (and/or heal her if applicable) to prevent her from taking major damage.
• Once Y'shtola finishes charging, she will obliterate all additional enemies and deal major damage to the boss. Defeat the boss quickly and finish off the final set of additional enemies to complete the duty.

Steps

• Search for Slowfix's friend in the Makers' Quarter.
• Speak with Y'shtola.
• Speak with Slowfix in Idyllshire.

Journal

• Though you have already fulfilled your part of the bargain in eliminating the golems, Slowfix begs you to oblige him one more favor: rescue his friend who has ventured into Illuminati-held territory. Make your way to the Makers' Quarter and find the reckless goblin before it is too late.

• Slowfix's goblin friend is revealed to be none other than Brayflox; no sooner do you locate her than Illuminati forces appear, bent on bloody retribution for their stolen cheese recipe. Together with Alphinaud and Y'shtola, you succeed in putting the enemy to rout, and Brayflox resumes scavenging for junk without skipping a beat.

• Whatever the feud between Brayflox and the Illuminati was about, the end result is that you have fulfilled Slowfix's request. Return to Idyllshire and report your success to the goblin.

• Slowfix thanks you profusely for rescuing Brayflox. Her antics, it would seem, are considered offbeat even by goblin standards.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Slowfix: Pssshkohhh... Uplanders helped gobbieflock, earned right to be citizens of Idyllshire. But Slowfix must ask another favor. 

Alphinaud: ...Another favor, you say?

Slowfix: Short time ago, dear friend of Slowfix ventured into Illuminati territory. 
Slowfix: Illuminati are nasty goblins, show no mercy even towards gobbiekin. Slowfix fears for friend's life. Please find friend before Illuminati do.

Y'shtola: I am suddenly taken by a sense of foreboding.

Alphinaud: Be that as it may, we cannot turn a blind eye. Let us make haste and find Slowfix's friend.

Searching for Slowfix's friend in the Makers' Quarter (Cutscene)

Brayflox Alltalks: Pshhh... Shkohhh.... 
Goodly uplander! Long time no eyecatch! What is bringing uplander here? 
Brayflox Alltalks: <gasp> Does uplander have lustyeyes for junk of Brayflox? Uplander must not be touching junk of Brayflox! Brayflox is finding junk first! 

Y'shtola: I knew I recognized that voice... Greetings, Brayflox. It has been a while. 
Y'shtola: Forgive us for interrupting your work, but Captain Wheiskaet gave me to understand that you are marked by Illuminati. This happens to be Illuminati-held territory. Is it wise to be here?

Brayflox Alltalks: Pshhhawww! Brayflox eat Illuminati for sunupses!

Quickthinx Allthoughts: >> Pshhhhkohhh... Who eats who for sunupses? <<

Brayflox Alltalks: Uwaaah!

Quickthinx Allthoughts: >> Brayflox Alltalks! Unwise you are to come here after dirty-taking secret knowings of cheesemake from Illuminati! <<

Brayflox Alltalks: Brayflox did no unright! Cheese recipe is gobbie birthright!

Quickthinx Allthoughts: >> Save tongueflaps for trading in deathpit! <<
Quickthinx Allthoughts: >> Pray to gobfathers, for punishment is neartimes! <<

Y'shtola: It appears we have no choice...

Duty Dialogue

Brayflox Alltalks: Pssshkoh! Brayflox showy-do Illuminati gobbie trick or two! 

King Gobtank G-IV: To deathpit with you! 

Alphinaud: Whatever this is about, Brayflox needs our help! 

King Gobtank G-IV: Tremble before might of Illuminati! 

Y'shtola: Whence came all these bombs!? 

Brayflox Alltalks: Spill bladder not over unstrong firebooms of Illuminati! 

Brayflox Alltalks: M-More lentfists!? 

Alphinaud: Yet more of them! At this rate... 

Y'shtola: Now seems as good a time as any... 
Y'shtola: I shall invoke a spell! 
Y'shtola: Pray keep the enemy at bay! 

Y'shtola: It...it is done...

Alphinaud: Amazing... How did you learn such a potent spell?

Brayflox Alltalks: Huzzah! Uplander is Brayflox's ironfist! 

Post Duty Cutscene

Brayflox Alltalks: Pssssheeeheee! Illuminati! No match for furious gobfists of Brayflox! 
Brayflox Alltalks: More junk is awaiting Brayflox muchly! Brayflox is taking leave of uplanders! 

(Optional)
ALphinaud: So that was the famous Brayflox... I have newfound respect for the Company of Heroes. That a motley crew such as theirs could achieve the feats they did bespeaks unwavering solidarity.

Speaking with Y'shtola

Y'shtola: Being embroiled in a cheese war was the last thing I expected coming to Sharlayan.  At any rate, we have fulfilled Slowfix's request. Let us return with the good tidings and be on our way. 

Optional Dialogue

Alphinaud: I had known that Y'shtola was capable, but to invoke such potent magicks so effortlessly... I must needs redouble my efforts if I am to approach her level of mastery.

Y'shtola: One does not simply "drift" in the Lifestream; it is a constant struggle to hold on to your very essence. The experience has hardened me in ways I can ill explain.

Speaking with Slowfix in Idyllshire

Slowfix: Uplanders are back! Did uplanders find friend of Slowfix? 
Slowfix: Pshkohhh... Time has not cured recklessness of Brayflox. Without help from uplanders, Brayflox would now be dead gobbie. Slowfix owes uplanders debt of gratitude! 
Slowfix: Slowfix and Brayflox are joined by unseverable gobbiebond! If Slowfix had known that uplanders are friends of Brayflox, Slowfix would have welcomed uplanders to gobbieflock at first meeting!
