“Landenel is wondering why you are still here.
— In-game description
Rewards
- In addition to the above, choose one of the following options:
Steps
- Lay hands upon the adamantoise egg.
- Claim the adamantoise egg.
- Speak with U'odh Nunh in Forgotten Springs.
Journal
- Landenel has told you of an egg suitable for your purposes. However, he believes that you will surely perish if you attempt to take it, and states that other heroes will rise to the occasion and slay Titan even if you do not. If you have the courage to press onward, journey to the nest and attempt to claim the egg.
- As Landenel suspected, you were immediately attacked by the mother adamantoise when you touched the egg. It was a mighty struggle, but in the end you survived. You may now claim your prize.
- The adamantoise egg is now yours. Return to Camp Tranquil and present it to Landenel.
- Landenel is impressed by your reckless bravery. After taking the egg on behalf of Wheiskaet, he bids you journey to Forgotten Springs in southern Thanalan and speak with a man named U'odh Nunh, who will help you obtain the second ingredient.
- Contrary to what Landenel said, U'odh Nunh has no intention of aiding you in your quest. It seems the old Miqo'te will require some convincing.
Dialogue
Landenel: Do you require assistance, adventurer?
Landenel: ...So this is the one who would challenge Titan. I've been expecting you, [Forename].
Landenel: The ingredient you seek is the egg of a giant adamantoise.
Landenel: The method of acquisition should be obvious─you steal it from the beast's nest, of course. Simple in theory, but difficult in execution. Most who try die in the attempt.
Landenel: Will I help you get it? Hah, you amuse me. I will not jeopardize my position by openly assisting you. From me you will receive only information. What you do with it is your choice.
Landenel: Let me be clear: this business between you, me, and the captain must remain a secret.
Landenel: See, I don't regret my time spent with the Company in the slightest. Traveling the world, meeting interesting people, killing them─it was all jolly good fun.
Landenel: Alas, Gridanians are, by and large, an unforgiving lot─Detoh here being a rare exception.
Landenel: I've had to go to great lengths to ensure that I am seen as a model citizen, with no taste for drinking, whoring, gambling, and all those other activities I so dearly miss.
Landenel: So understand that if you ruin my little charade by wagging your tongue, I'll fashion a noose with your entrails and hang you from the nearest heavenspillar.
Landenel: Well, what are you waiting for? There's a perfectly good adamantoise egg in a nest to the east of here, just ripe for the taking.
Landenel: Not that I expect you to live long enough to claim it!
Landenel: The mother never strays far from the child, and you will surely be attacked the moment you lay hands upon the egg.
Landenel: ...There will be other heroes, [Forename]. You do not need to challenge Titan. Abandon your quest, or your corpse will rot in this swamp.
Landenel: I thought you might have the good sense to leave this place. By your continued presence, I take it you intend to persevere to the bitter end?
You hand over the adamantoise egg.
Landenel: Ahahaha! Such bravery, such recklessness! That will serve you well against Titan.
Landenel: Leave the egg with me─I'll see that it gets to the captain. You should make haste to southern Thanalan.
Landenel: In Forgotten Springs, you will find a man named U'odh Nunh. He will be your next guide. Safe travels, Yuki.
At Forgotten Springs:
U'odh Nunh: State your business, adventurerrr.
<snort> Hah hah hah! So this is the one Wheiskaet sends me.
U'odh Nunh: I haven't the foggiest what he sees in you─and until I do, you will rrreceive no aid from me.
