Journal

• Your efforts to wreak havoc on the Isle of Zekki and draw the Red Kojin away from their imperial masters have exceeded all expectations. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond your knowing, two of the sacred treasures stored in the isle's vault “reacted” to the presence of the Yasakani-no-Magatama, summoning forth from the aether the great kami Susano -- a primal by another name. Though you and your comrades initially fled to safety, it is plain that you cannot simply leave the kami be, and so Alisaie bids you return to the vault and do what you do best.

• Before the vault door, you steel yourself for the impending confrontation. How fortunate that you had the wisdom and foresight to invite several of your fellow adventurers on this journey to the Far East, and how kind they were to agree to help you torment the Red Kojin, for no single warrior, no matter how blessed or powerful, could ever hope to slay a primal on her own, despite what some wandering minstrels would have you believe.
  ※The Pool of Tribute can be accessed via the Duty Finder.

• The great kami is no more, and once again you part ways with your stalwart adventurer comrades, ever close at hand yet all too often forgotten. Alisaie and Lyse should not be hard to find -- you need only listen for the sounds of battle.

• You find your comrades still locked in combat with the Kojin of the Red. Alas, what the beastmen lack in individual strength they make up for in numbers. For each that falls, three emerge to fill the gap. Before you can join the fray, however, Alisaie steps forward, resolved to provide you and Lyse with an opening in which to escape. Grudgingly, you accept her invitation and depart for Isari, where it would seem the Confederacy have already begun their attack.

• No sooner have you reached the beach south of Isari than Lyse declares her intention to return to the Isle of Zekki and help Alisaie. Though it was she who encouraged you to leave your young friend in the first place, the thought of losing another ally is more than she can bear... as is the shock of hearing Alisaie's voice coming from right behind her. Lyse whirls around and embraces the bemused girl, whose protests fall on deaf ears. Once all present have regained their composure, you press on to Isari.

• Upon arriving in the village, you find no sign of the imperials, nor of any significant struggle. Did the Confederacy keep their end of the bargain, or did Yotsuyu and her men simply move on to the next settlement?

Dialogue

(Optional)
Lyse: We'll get through this, somehow! After all, we always do!

Accepting the quest

Alisaie: As before, our numbers limit our options. I wish I could claim to have a brilliant plan, but I don't─all I have is a desperate one. 
Alisaie: Lyse, you and I will do our best to draw the Kojin away from the primal. We'll lead them on a wild-dodo chase all over this isle.
Alisaie: The rest of the plan, I'm afraid you can guess. I'm sorry, [Forename], I truly am, but neither of us can even approach Susano, much less hope to defeat him. Which means you're on your own. 

Lyse: Well, who knows? She/he does have an awful lot of adventurer friends. Maybe some of them decided to take a fishing trip to the Far East, and are surprisingly close by...? 

Alisaie: Yes, and I speak fluent Hingan. Come on, there's no point putting this off!

Confronting Susano in the Pool of Tribute

Duty Dialogue

Susano: Let the revels begin!
Susano: The seas part for we alone!
Susano: How our hearts sing in the chaos!
Susano: Wild and pure and forever free!
Susano: REJOICE!
Susano: Resilient souls! I salute you!
Susano: Earth and stone at our beck and call!

Cutscene

Tansui: Nary a peep from the shellbacks, sir. It's enough to make one wonder... 

Soroban: The Red have sounded the alarum. The Isle of Zekki under attack; fierce fighting in the stronghold.
Soroban: The vault breached by outsiders, and strange tales from deep within. All this, the Red cannot ignore.
Soroban: Even now, they abandon their posts and flock to the isle. 
The Garleans are powerless to stop them. 

Tansui: I'll be damned. They did it. 
Tansui: Well, Captain...wagers notwithstanding, I daresay we will not have a better opportunity to drive the imperials from Isari and rescue our men.
Tansui: On the other hand, naught was put in writing... But if your mind is made up, then that is that.
Tansui: ...I should add that if you were to change your mind, none would gainsay your decision, nor think you beholden to your past.
Tansui: Nor would anyone begrudge you a spot of revenge into the bargain. 
Like the little miss said, we knew this day would come. 

Rasho: Isari may be a rotting husk, but at least the tavern keeper never watered down his drinks. 

Tansui: Well said for a temperate man. 

Rasho: Hear me, comrades! We made a bargain with the Eorzeans, and I mean to uphold our end of it. I mean to remind the Garleans that this is our sea─that all here belongs to the Confederacy!
Rasho: All that is theirs is ours for the taking─and take it we shall. 
We will strip them of everything they hold dear!

Cutscene

Grynewaht: This one is iron. My hands will break before he speaks. 

Yotsuyu: Ugh, kami give me strength. Are you good at anything? 
Yotsuyu: I had hoped this might prove more productive than blind inquiries, but I see you are determined to waste my time. Very well. 
Yotsuyu: Line them up. Kill one for every question he refuses to answer. 

Gosetsu: Hurt them, and you will get naught from me! 

Yotsuyu: You have given me precisely that thus far, so what have I to lose? Mark me, samurai─I will find Lord Hien, be it with your help or with your heads. 

???: >> Confederate scum! You will pay for─ Aaargh! << 

Hopeful Confederate: The Confederacy! They've come to save us! 

Yotsuyu: And this after I took such pains to cow them. Even pirates have their pride, I suppose. Enough to march to their deaths, no less. Oh, the stupidity of it all...
Yotsuyu: It truly is a sickness... I shall just have to lance the boil. Drain them of every last trace of honor and compassion... Every last drop... 

Grynewaht: My lady, I... I'm going outside! 

Gosetsu: The kami are not finished with you yet...

Cutscene

Lyse: There's no end to them! They just keep coming! 

Alisaie: Then we must be doing something right. We have to hold out for as long as we can. She/He's counting on us! 

Red Marine: >> S-Susano is slain! Slain by the shell-less one! <<

Lyse: Is it true? Did you defeat him?
Lyse: Well, in that case─how do you fancy helping us keep the Kojin occupied until the Confederacy make their move?
Lyse: Speak of the devils─that's coming from Isari! 

Alisaie: I think we've done all we can here. Let's withdraw and make for the village. 

Lyse: Right! Although...they don't seem keen to let us go... 

Alisaie: Hear me, Kojin of the Red! 
We have no quarrel with you─only your imperial masters!
Alisaie: No more blood need be shed this day! I pray you let us go in peace! 

Red Marine Commander: You dare speak to us of peace!? Your flesh will feed the fishes, thief! Attaaack! 

Lyse: Now's our chance! Don't worry about her─she can handle herself!

Alisaie: I can't let you take all the glory, can I?

Speaking with Lyse (Cutscene)

Lyse: I think we're safe. I didn't see any Kojin following us...
Lyse: Wait here. I'm going back for Alisaie.

< What will you say? >
< I'm coming with you. >
< She stayed behind so we could escape... > 

< I'm coming with you. >
Lyse: No. Absolutely not.
Lyse: She stayed behind so that you could escape. Even I know that. 

< She stayed behind so we could escape... > 
Lyse: So that you could escape, not me. And that was a mistake─I should've been the one to stay behind, not her.
Lyse: So I've got to go back. If we lose her...I'll never forgive myself.

(Both)
Lyse: ...I was the one who dragged you all into this. It was my fight, not yours. I knew that from the start, but I also knew I couldn't do it alone.
Lyse: But I've asked too much and let too much happen to you all. I have to make this right─and I have to do it on my own.
Lyse: So let me go, please. I'm asking you as a friend. I have to help her! 

Alisaie: You can start by finding me a towel and some bandages. Brrr... 

Lyse: Alisaie! 

Alisaie: What? Why are you looking at me like that? I said I was going to distract them, not make a heroic and ultimately futile last stand. Who does that, anyway? 
Alisaie: For the love of─ This is stupid! You're embarrassing yourself! And me! 

Lyse: Shut up and let me have this. 
Lyse: Right. That wasn't so bad, was it? Now then, we need to hurry back to Isari!

(Optional)
Alisaie: They didn't follow you, did they? I gave you enough time to escape?
Alisaie: Good to hear my selfless act of heroism achieved the desired effect. You needn't worry by the way—I'm not intending to make a habit of this.

Speaking with Lyse

Lyse: I don't see any soldiers... Do you think the Confederacy drove them off?
