Dialogue

You seek words with me? What can I do for you?

Tell me something about yourself.

I use this harsh place to hone my skills, like using coarse stone to sharpen a blade. I enjoyed my solitude before the crash, but I will admit the sight of new faces has been refreshing.

Why are you training so hard?

Fighting is what I live for. I thrive on it. There is an unquenchable desire within me to be stronger.

Thanks for sharing. Good-bye.

I see.

Tell me one of your stories.

Very well. In old times, there was a tribe in a valley with only one source of water, a clear, sweet stream that ran by their village. One day that stream began to run dry and the tribe grew worried.

Go on.

They sent their greatest warrior upstream to find what had happened, and after three days she found a monster who had grown greedy and had drunk all the water for itself.

Go on.

The warrior explained the plight of her thirsty people and the greedy monster laughed a mighty croak and pushed her into the mud with its bloated belly. This angered the proud warrior very much.

Go on.

In her great anger, the warrior split the monster's belly open, so that all the waters rushed forth in a flood that filled the valley, washing the warrior and her tribe away to the sea.

Wait, everyone died? What kind of story is that?

The point of this silly old tale is that a rash decision made out of pride is no better than a selfish decision made out of greed, and both will lead to ruin.

Tell me something about yourself. (Same as above)

I...see.

I changed my mind. Good-bye.

I changed my mind. Good-bye.

I changed my mind. Good-bye.

I changed my mind. Good-bye.

(If HOPE I: Research collection is unlocked)

I am an apprentice Hylek alchemist, looking for a rare plant in this area.

There's a rare plant that grows on some of the highest cliffs that has been known to assist in curing many things, such as burns.

Where can I find this plant?

Unfortunately, I do not think one with legs, such as yourself, would be able to reach the areas I mentioned.

Then how will I find this plant?

Fortunately for you, I have an extra from a previous expedition. I will give it to you, for your pursuits in my people's alchemy.

I am grateful for your generosity!

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.

Just passing through.

When initiating the event

I know that look in your eyes. You would like to spar with me.

Let's rumble.

Sorry, you're mistaken.

During the event

Follow me, and I will lead you to my sparring rock.

Okay.

Do not underestimate me.

(spit) The flies around here are too dry.

Toss the fruit.

The Sun will rise again before I'm finished with you.

Now you will taste my foot.

Notes

• When Nochtli uses her Slam attack, a red arrow will appear pointing up. This is an indicator that the attack can be avoided by jumping.
• If you glide (for those who have gliders) off the top part which Nochtli is standing, her health will soon go back to 100%. It is best to stay on that ledge and jump during certain attacks and to time out her rotations.
