[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- "You may have proven yourself capable once on the tournament ladder, but do you have the hubris to believe you can repeat such a feat of prowess and bravery? If your first victory was anything more than a fluke, then prove it by defeating one last opponent!"
Championship edition:
- Magni the Bison
- [Solo Quest] You have returned, [Character Name]! Ah, I can see the desire to fight boiling within your blood. Lucky for you, I have once again brought toghether many powerful warriors for this, the championship edition of my fighting tournament. Do you still have what it takes to challenge and defeat six opponents? Or has the time spent away from the ring made you soft and weak? Show me the prowess you displayed when you became the first to ever best me, Magni the Bison!
I'll defeat more than one opponent before I'm through.
I'm not here to play games, Your tournament can wait.
First edition:
- Magni the Bison
- [Solo Quest] I laugh at heroes. I scoff at dragons. I even deride the Titans! None have withstood my strong right arm. None have bested Magni the Bison. This tournament will decide who has the right to challenge me.
- You have something of a reputation among the other weaklings. But you will still need to defear five opponents in my tournament before earning the right to face me, your sixth and final challenge!
- I'll defeat more than one opponent before I'm through.
- I'm not here to play games, Your tournament can wait.
When asked about the quest:
- I'm certain I would have been told if you had defeated all six of your opponents in my tournament. I haven't, so you still have someone to fight. If you don't return again, I won't be surprised.
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
- (the intermediate dialogue depends on which opponent you are facing. See the Norn Fighting Tournament article for the dialogue and quotes.)
[edit] Reward dialogue
- (None, but reward dialogue can be seen in either Final Round: Fight! or Final Round, Championship Edition: Fight!)
[edit] Notes
- Round one opponents may be Kilroy, Kisai, Little Thom, Lo Sha, Sogolon, or the Great Zehtuka. Please refer to the Norn Fighting Tournament article for details on their skill sets.
- This quest is automatically completed upon defeating the round 1 opponent. The follow-up quest is automatically accepted.
- As your character progresses through the quest chain (i.e. tournament rounds), should your character lose, your quest log will again show this quest as not completed, allowing you to talk to Gellir Frostshield to start again without needing to re-acquire this quest from Magni the Bison.
[edit] Trivia
- The name of this quest (and the follow-up quests) appears to be a reference to old competitive fighting arcade games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. In those games, at the start of a round, the narrator usually calls out "Round one, fight!".
- The first quest reward includes the PvE-only skill, A Touch of Guile. There is a character in Street Fighter II known as Guile.
- The same quest reward also offers the "Finish Him!" PvE-only skill. In Mortal Kombat, the finishing move (a fatality) is preceded by the narrator shouting out "Finish him!".
- "Dodge This!" is a line from the Matrix when Trinity shoots one of the agents at point blank range.
