[edit] Walkthrough

You enter this mission alone and for the most part the mission involves mini games which don't necessarily involve any fighting. The aim of the mission is to try and convince the Vabbi princes they should join your side in the fight against Varesh. However to even get an audience with them you have to perform various tasks around the festival. These tasks also contribute to the bonus.

If you do not wish to buy the vase or bribe Bokka the Magnificent, it is recomended you store your money before entering as it is easy to lose 4-5 platinum in one click.

The fastest way to complete the mission is to complete the tasks necessary to talk to the princes before going and talking to the princes. The required tasks or festival activities are as follows;

  1. Teach Dende (for female characters) or Mina (for male characters) to dance.
  2. Defeat "Palawa Joko" in the re-enactment of the Battle of Jahai.
  3. Provide Bokka the Magnificent the gift of a Rare Antique Elonian Vase or cash.
    • The Rare Antique Elonian Vase can be obtained from Jejumba in three ways.
      1. By buying it from her for 4 platinum.
      2. By fighting her (she does 8 damage).
      3. By obtaining a Golden Phoenix Feather. The Golden Phoenix Feather is obtained by defeating the Royal Guard Captain.

You can then talk to each of the three princes. Return to Prince Ahmtur the Mighty for a second talk and a cinematic will start and harpies will attack. 2 Palace Guards and 2 Vabbi Guard Captains will join your party as allies for the Harpy attack and follow closely behind your character. Use your allies to dispatch of the harpies to complete the mission. If you are a necromancer summoning undead minions is quite helpful. Also, make sure you have some sort of healing spell on you too or this will be very hard.

Finishing masters in this mission in hardmode is extremely easy with most of the NPCs being beefed up in damage, armor, and level.

[edit] Bonus

There are five festival activities which you participate in to complete the Master level for this mission. Some will already have been done in order to speak to the princes. All five are listed below:

  1. Beat Zilo the Drunkard in a drinking contest. You can take drinks from Vabbian Nobles, Horticulturist Hinon, Duel Master Lumbo, "Palawa Joko" and The Great Zehtuka, however stealing Zehtuka's drink will cause him to turn aggressive. This contest can be repeated. A fast way to get all the drinks is to get them from NPCs standing below and above the stairs leading to the Princes.
    • This does not increase your Drunkard title track.
    • After the last drink you sober up instantly.
  2. Defeat Lumo the Mime in a mime duel. This contest can be repeated.
    • This is done by copying each of Lumo the Mime's next 10 emotes within several seconds.
    • Lumo uses the same emote animations as you do.
    • Lumo's dialogue incorrectly states that you must copy 15 emotes.
    • Using the wrong emote will not cause you to lose the duel as long as you also use the correct emote within the allotted time. If you aren't sure about an emote, you can try to use several emotes which you suspect may be correct.
      • /beg (He falls to his knees.)
      • /boo (He raises both hands abruptly and thrusts his head and arms forward, towards the player.)
      • /bored (He shrugs his shoulders forward with arms at side.)
      • /breath and /catchbreath (He bows forward, breathing heavily.)
      • /cheer (He stretches both arms in the air.)
      • /dance (He does the male ranger "breakdance".)
      • /doubletake (He thrusts his head towards the player twice.)
      • /drum /flute /guitar /violin (He plays the respective "air" instrument. In case of the flute he stands on one leg.)
      • /excited (He claps his hands.)
      • /flex (He does a classic greek pose with one arm towards the ground and one behind his head.)
      • /goteam (He puts his hand towards you and bows and stands.)
      • /laugh (You can see his chest shaking.)
      • /pickme (He points towards himself with both arms.)
      • /point (He points towards the player with one arm.)
      • /ponder (He puts his hand towards his chin.)
      • /roar (He stretches one fist in the air.)
      • /shoo (He waves both hands in front of his chest, towards the player.)
      • /taunt (He waves both hands beside his face and shakes his head.)
      • /wave (He waves with his left arm.)
  3. Speak to Duel Master Lumbo and take part in a reenactment of Turai Ossa's victory over Palawa Joko.
    • "Palawa Joko" is very easy to beat. He is a a level 20 Necromancer who only uses Life Siphon, Blood of the Aggressor, and Dark Pact.
    • It is possible to start this activity so that "Palawa Joko" turns hostile, but then leave him. Later on, when the skree are attacking, use the added help of a few guards to kill him (if you were having trouble on your own). You will still receive the bonus.
  4. Obtain a Rare Antique Elonian Vase from Jejumba as a gift for Prince Bokka the Magnificent. Once obtained, present the vase to Royal Finance Minister Oluda. There are several ways to obtain the vase:
    • Kill Jejumba and take the item (very easy).
    • Pay 4 platinum for the item.
    • Defeat the Royal Guard Captain towards the east end of the garden in a 1-on-1 duel to obtain a Golden Phoenix Feather. Trade this with Jejumba for the vase.
  5. Teach the little boy, Dende, or the little girl, Mina, to dance. Speak to one of them (corresponding to your gender), then use the "/dance" emote. Then they will dance together.

[edit] Skill recommendations

Since this mission includes a solo fight, healing characters should remember to bring some damage dealing skills, while damage dealing characters should include a self-heal.

[edit] Notes

  • If you let the guards by the north stairwell fall to the skrees and leave the skrees on the south balcony (near Dende and Mina), you can take the north stairwell to explore the entire orchard area for the Elonian Cartographer title. You can come back to the south skrees to finish the mission after you're done exploring.
  • An alterative is to use Death's Retreat and Return to get past guards in order to explore the area.
  • Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 2.4% to the Elonian Cartographer title.
Bug Bug.
As with Margrid in No Me, No Kormir, Morgahn will call you an Istani even if you are a Prophecies or Factions character.
Bug Bug.
Lumo the Mime's dialogue incorrectly states that you must copy 15 emotes.
