(Difficulty: Master)

This is one of the three quests given by the Image of Zinn from the Golem User Manual. This one deals with neutralizing N.O.X. and retrieving its power crystal. Prince Bokka purchased the N.O.X. golem for a re-enactment of the Asuran settlement of the Tarnished Coast. However, N.O.X.'s true purpose is to assassinate Prince Bokka as well as Prince Ahmtur and Prince Mehtu. Save the prince and deactivate N.O.X. before the golem assassinates the leaders of Vabbi and destabilizes all of Elona. Make haste to Bokka's Palace in Resplendent Makuun. One of Bokka's attendents should be more than willing to take you to the prince.

[edit] Walkthrough

Head into Resplendent Makuun and follow the quest marker to find an Attendant to the Prince who would be willing to take you to the prince. Upon confirmation, the party will be brought to Bokka Amphitheatre, just in time to save Prince Bokka from getting killed.

The fight against N.O.X. has three stages.

  1. The first stage begins as soon as players enter the quest, and consists on trying to defend Prince Bokka as N.O.X. attacks. During this stage, Bit Golems will appear through the map, damaging nearby allies. Since Bokka continually runs through the map, he will be hit by the Golem Bits some times.
  2. The second stage begins once N.O.X.'s health has been reduced to approximately 80%. Bokka will escape, leaving the area, and N.O.X. will summon reinforcements: Phantom Bit Golems (increase the power of N.O.X.'s N.O.X. Phantom skill), Thunder Bit Golems (increase the power of N.O.X.'s N.O.X. Thunder), Fire Bit Golems (increase the power of N.O.X.'s N.O.X. Fire), Rectifier Bit Golems (heal N.O.X.) and Breaker Bit Golems (inflict random conditions on the party); these golems will continually spawn in the area. While this means that eventually N.O.X.'s skills will be able to defeat the entire party with a single hit, all its skills in this stage are spells with a considerable casting time; consider bringing interrupts and skills that inflict daze in order to just prevent N.O.X. from casting and therefore defeat him while ignoring most of the other golems (it may be wise to clear the golems around the party, though, given how they may kill the characters in the beginning of the next stage).
  3. The third stage begins once N.O.X.'s health has been reduced to 50%. All other golems will explode, dealing damage to adjacent party members, and all the golems that appear from this stage on will likewise explode instantly. N.O.X. will stop using his Fire, Thunder and Phantom skills, and will begin using N.O.X. Knuckle, N.O.X. Field Dash and N.O.X. Divider Drive. Once his health is reduced below 25%, he will be defeated - players don't have to lower his health to zero.

Skills that cause Daze such as Broad Head Arrow and spells like Frustration and Power Drain are greatly beneficial in this fight. During all stages, N.O.X. will charge N.O.X.ion Buster and do considerable damage to a target. Despite being a spell with long casting time, interrupts cannot easily prevent the golem from using such skill thanks to Countdown - while it's in progress (displayed in speech bubbles above N.O.X.'s head), N.O.X.ion Buster cannot be interrupted. The party has then only a few seconds to interrupt N.O.X.ion Buster, between the end of Countdown and the activation of that skill.

[edit] Initial dialogue

Zinn

Prince Bokka purchased the N.O.X. golem for a re-enactment of the Asuran settlement of the Tarnished Coast. However, N.O.X.'s true purpose is to assassinate Prince Bokka as well as Prince Ahmtur and Prince Mehtu. Save the prince and deactivate N.O.X. before the golem assassinates the leaders of Vabbi and destabilizes all of Elona. Make haste to Bokka's Palace in Resplendent Makuun. One of Bokka's attendants should be more than willing to take you to the prince.

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

In Resplendent Makuun:

Attendant to the Prince
Prince Bokka is in grave danger. You must tell me where he is at once!
Danger? Ridiculous! Prince Bokka is loved by all. No one would ever think of harming him. Now be gone and speak no more of this supposed danger.
The prince's new toy, N.O.X., is programmed to assassinate him. Take me to Bokka before it's too late!
You mean that golem that arrived this morning? Preposterous! It came from a most reputable source, the great Asuran inventor Zinn. I assure you, Prince Bokka is quite safe.
Zinn sent me to protect Prince Bokka. Take me to him NOW unless you want to be blamed for his death.
Alright, I'll take you to Prince Bokka. Are you ready to leave?
Yes We were ready when we got here. If you're finally ready, we're ready. (sent to Bokka Amphitheatre (N.O.X.))
No Wait, I won? You'll take me to Bokka? I wasn't ready for that...
No Thanks for the chat, but I have to run.
No Thanks for the chat, but I have to run.

In Bokka Amphitheatre:

Prince Bokka: :"Don't just stand there! Save me! Save me!"
N.O.X.:: "*AC-QUIR-ING TAR-GET: Prince Bokka*"
Prince Bokka: :"Women and princes first. No. Wrong. Princes first!"
N.O.X.:: "*TAR-GET ES-CAP-ING, ACT-I-VATE RE-IN-FORCE-MENTS, RE-MOVE HOS-TILES*"
N.O.X.:: "*DA-MAGE EX-CEEDS EX-PEC-TED RE-SULTS, DIS-EN-GAGE LIM-I-TER, IN-CREASE CORE OUT-PUT*"

[edit] Reward dialogue

N.O.X.

N.O.X. appears fully deactivated. You reach out and open up his control panel. Inside lies the golem's power crystal. It emits a strange buzzing sound and vibrates erratically, almost as if something is trying to escape. This is the object Zinn requires. You only need to reach out and take it.

[edit] Notes

  • You can back up through the portal and attack N.O.X. through the wall although its massive attack will hurt you unless you back up all the way to the back of the closed area behind the portal.
  • M.O.X. is not required to be in your party for this quest.
  • This quest is obtained automatically after accepting Zinn's Task. If it is abandoned, it can be re-obtained by asking Image of Zinn about the Zinn's Task quest. The initial dialogue can only be seen in the quest log, and it has no accept, decline or when asked about dialogue.
  • There are corpses of Vabbian Actors, Vabbian Actresses, Vabbian Stagehands, and one Theatre Manager strewn around the performing stage.
