Quest text[edit]

Talk to Khenet

Welcome, <player> - I've been expecting you. My name is Khenet and I am here to guide those who come to take this trial. It seems simple, but I assure you the trial of the mind can be more difficult than you would expect.

For this test, you must meditate.

What are your shortfalls? What events in your past haunt you? Reflect on your regrets in life, your struggles, and the people you may have hurt either by accident or with a purpose. Think back to everything you wish you could do over.

Please give me your tea leaves, and when you are ready, drink the Lavender tea while sitting next to the statue on the hill behind me.

Game Feedback: Khenet takes your vial of Lavender Infused Tea Leaves, and prepares your tea for you.


Drink your cup of lavender infused tea

Game Feedback: This tea is wonderfully aromatic and sweet. As you drink it, it's hard to stay alert as an intense feeling of relaxation washes over you.


Meditate upon your life...

Game Feedback: You reflect upon your life. The lavender tea makes you feel peaceful, although it is a struggle to not want to curl up for a nap in the warm sun.


Keep meditating...

Game Feedback: As you reflect, you come across a particularly painful memory. It wrenches in your gut and feels as if it slithers in your mind.


Meditate more...

Game Feedback: As you continue to reflect, it is as if a dam breaks. No longer can you stop and control the flood of regrets you are hit by. The memories of things you have done for the wrong reasons, people you have hurt, and the shadows in your heart flash before your eyes.


You feel uncomfortable but you focus on your meditation...

Game Feedback: The slithering shadow grows and feeds on your darkness until it coils around your heart and makes you cry out from the pain. What is happening? There is no turning back now.


The pain makes you grind your teeth. But all these trials have made your mind stronger and you keep your calm...

Game Feedback: Suddenly when you feel you are about to wither and crumple up on the sand, you feel at peace.


Something is about to happen...!

Game Feedback: As you open your eyes, you gaze right into a coalesced black abyss in front of you. You recognise it as the shadow of your regrets and fears. It attempts to engulf you. Fight for your life!


Kill your inner darkness

Game Feedback: Your inner darkness is no more and you have refound balance within you...

I'm glad to see that you have returned. Are you feeling alright? I'm sorry I could not warn you about what you would experience in this trial - I have been forbidden from doing so.

I remain here for a reason. My trial shook me so hard that even if I technically passed the test - I have already defeated myself. Thus, I choose to be here to help others who come here for the trial.

It is important for a monk to master their mind. Without even sustaining a single physical blow - the mind can utterly fell the mightiest and the strongest. Everyone has their inner demons to face - knowing how to conquer them prevents them from crippling you. We are all our own worst enemies.


Talk to Khenet

You have passed the test and I can see that you have achieved inner peace as well. Please take this token back to Hasera to prove your mastery.
