Lini Ciochio

You seem competent; I hope that is indeed the case. About Jinovitch, I do not know a lot, but I have some friends who may help us. They are Tinacha Zarinia in Natae, Sirgio Ciorinia in Davae and Lini Cuini in Avalae. Go see all three of them to learn more about Jinovitch.

You go to speak to the three friends of Lini Ciochio.

Tinacha Zarinia

Jinovitch? I do not like mentioning the name . . . but Iíll tell you what I know. It is said that Jinovitch hated most people and trusted almost nobody. However, he had an adviser, a Matis, who he trusted some and entrusted some secrets to. But I do not know the name of this adviser.

Sirgio Ciorinia

Jinovitch . . . he was so afraid of being spied upon that all the messages he sent to his alleged friends were all encoded. Of course, no one has ever managed to understand these codes.

Lini Cuini

Ah, Jinovitch . . . one of the most dangerous madmen known to history. His secrets? I know this; One day, after a battle, his soldiers saw him recover an item. This item must have been valuable, because he quickly sent it to Jino - the city that later became Yrkanis.

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

Hmmm . . . that's very interesting. This information will help me come to a conclusion . . . but we will have to struggle to find out more.

He gives you x150 q100 Experience Catalysers

Alright, let's list what we know . . . Jinovitch seemed to have had an adviser he trusted, he used encoded messages to give his order, and one day he found a valuable item during a battle, which he is supposed to have sent to the capital. We can assume that he spoke to his adviser about the item . . . but if his message was encoded, it will complicate things.

I know someone who once found, quite by accident, one of Jinovitch's messages. His name is Trira Tinalo, you should go see him. He lives in Avalae. As an old warrior I fear he will ask you to demonstrate your worth to him, before he will help you.

You go to Avalae to speak to Trira Tinalo

Trira Tinalo

Jinovitch? I have some quite interesting information about him . . . but I do not deal with weaklings like you! What, you want to show me your courage? Very well. Go to Fleeting Garden and kill three Strong Kipees. Then we will see if you are worthy of this information.

You kill 3 Strong Kipees and return to speak to Trira Tinalo

Trira Tinalo

I admit my mistake. Iíll tell you everything I know about Jinovitch. Once, I found a letter while I was walking to Yrkanis. There is no doubt that this letter was written by Jinovitch. Here are its contents . . .

I recently found this item, Myatar. I want you to tell me as much as possible about it. Afterward, hide it at the location we have discussed.

I asked around; nobody had heard of a person called Myatar. I guess this person was not prominent and not in high office or of a high rank. But if that is the case, I do not know why Jinovitch wrote to him.

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

Myatar? No, that doesnít mean anything to me. But what I donít understand . . . Jinovitch is reported to have had a habit of sending messages encoded . . . But all is clear in this message. So that makes me think . . .

I have an idea . . . you can help me clear up this mystery, [your name]. Here is a reward which should serve as an incentive.

He gives you some Dappers

Right; I think the message itself is not encoded, but only its recipient! This would explain how nobody knows this Myatar. But now we must ascertain who the actual recipient of this message was. I am thinking it must have been one of the Great Nobles of the time.

I have some historian friends who could help us . . . you should go see them. They are . . . Viccio Penti, Sirgio Fresi and Lichi Sirini in Davae . . . Varo Cizzo in Natae . . . and Sirgio Beni in Avalae. If one of them should mention a name and you think that could be our man, come back to me immediately.

You go to Avalae to speak to Sirgio Beni

Sirgio Beni

Important people during the time of Jinovitch? Letís see . . . I can only recall two names; Varamo and Sarcio.""

If you return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio before speaking to all five of his friends, you get this message;

Lini Ciochio

No . . . I donít see any connection between these two names and Myatar. Continue your research . . .

You go to Davae

Sirgio Fresi

Important people during the time of Jinovitch? Letís see . . . I can only recall two names; Zarino and Moltar.

Viccio Penti

Important people during the time of Jinovitch? Letís see . . . I can only recall two names; Tiralo and Mallas.

Lichi Sirini

Important people during the time of Jinovitch? Letís see . . . I can only recall two names; Saralo and Gadora.

You go to Natae to speak to Varo Cizzo

Varo Cizzo

Important people during the time of Jinovitch? Letís see . . . I can only recall two names; Yamrat and Vabris.

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

Yamrat? Yamrat . . . but yes. That's it! Myatar is an anagram of Yamrat. Isn't that wonderful?

Now we will have to find out more about this Yamrat. This may take us into dangerous areas, however, and I want to make sure your fighting ability is up to it. Go kill Mean Kipees in Fleeting Garden and bring me some fragments. Let's say, three fragments of Basic Kipee Shell.

You get the fragments of Kipee Shell and return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

Ah, beautiful fragments, indeed. I have some crafting skills . . . let me make an earring with these. It will serve you in the future. I don't want anything in return, there will be still some fragments left after.

I'm done. Here are the jewels . . . and now it is necessary to find out about Yamrat.

He gives you a Medium Quality Matis Earring and a Medium Quality Matis Pendant

Go back to Trira Tinalo. If anybody knows anything about this Yamrat, it will be him. I hope that he will not ask you to prove yourself again . . . '

You go to Avalae to speak to Trira Tinalo

Trira Tinalo

Really? This Myatar in the message was actually Yamrat? Very interesting. But for my information you are going to have to fight! This time, go and kill . . . five Dehydrated Psykoplas. Also in Fleeting Garden. Don't come back until you have succeeded!

You kill five Dehydrated Psykoplas and return to Avalae to speak to Trira Tinalo

Trira Tinalo

You are definitely more tenacious than I had thought. All right, I will tell you what I know about Yamrat . . . in fact, I know quite a few things; Yamrat was a blacksmith on Jinovitch's staff. He was responsible not only for making armour and weapons for Jinovitch's elite soldiers, but also for identifying unknown items found by Jinovitch during his battles.

Before you leave . . . I haven't told you this because I didn't think I could trust you. But you have worked this out for my friend Lini Ciochio, so I will tell you. Another message was discovered recently. A message from the time of Jinovitch. I don't have it though; it was the Yrkanis Barman who found it.

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

A blacksmith? On the King's staff? This raises some questions . . . this item, would it be a weapon or armour? And Yamrat, was he really Jinovitch's adviser?

And above all . . . is there any indication where this notorious item is now? Jinovitch would never have written a message, even encoded; he was too wary for that. Perhaps he showed Yamrat in person? It's hard to find out. What? You have more information?

Another message!? This could be the key to this whole affair. The Barman has it? We absolutely must read it.

You go to speak to the Barman in Yrkanis, Cicho Trivaldo

Cicho Trivaldo

A message? A message from Jinovitch? Well, not exactly a message from Jinovitch, but . . . listen, I will confide in you, but you have to help me first. I need some Javing Wings. Go to Fleeting Garden and get some from the Menacing Javing. I need . . . at least three . . .

You get the Javing Wings and return to Yrkanis to speak to the Barman

Cicho Trivaldo

Good, good. Right, here is the message . . .

Its material is heavy but strong. Excellent quality, but made for a warrior of lesser skill than your soldiers. As agreed, it is hidden at the site of your worst memory. Myatar

I tell you, I don't understand a word of it. Maybe it means something to you . . .

Oh, and these items I found together with the message. I don't know what their purpose is, but to thank you for bringing me the wings, you can have them too.

The Barman gives you x10 q100 Constitution Flowers

You return to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

Myatar? It's a message from Myatar . . . all right, Yamrat. We have succeeded! The item mentioned in the message is certainly what we seek. But . . . what is the place of his worst memory? I can't see where that could be. And I don't think Trira Tinalo can help us . . .

The barman gave you some items? Show them to me, perhaps I can tell you what they are.

Ah . . . they don't look much, but they are Constitution Flowers. I think they will be of use to you. Later . . .

If your none of your fight skills is above 90, you get this message

Lini Ciochio

Before continuing, you need to train your fight skill some more.

You train one of your fight skills to at least 90 and return to speak to Lini Ciochio

I would have preferred not to have to deal with him, as he is quite irritable and doesn't like to share his knowledge. But maybe he will agree. He is one of the historians most learned about Jinovitch. His name is Bero Pelli and he lives in Natae.

You go to Natae to talk to Bero Pelli

Bero Pelli

No, no and no! I will not say ANYTHING about Jinovitch. You have wasted my time, and your own too.

You try again to talk to Bero Pelli

Bero Pelli

Didn't I just tell you that . . . oh, what is this message you speak of? A message from Jinovitch? Hmmm . . . I see. At least you know something. Jinovitch's worst memory . . . yes, I think I know what that is. Of course, he never confided in anyone, except maybe Yamrat, but it can be deduced quite easily . . .

Yes, I believe it was the day Yasson, his half-brother, announced he wanted to restore peace and end the conflict with the other peoples. Jinovitch then began preparing his assassination. Yasson made his announcement in a spot in Knoll of Dissent, just south of the Matisian Border Guards camp, in a great root called Towerbridge Way.

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

The place is known?! Now there is not a moment to lose. Go to Towerbridge Way and search around until you find a clue.

You find a pile of earth in Towerbridge Way.

<Screen message> You look everywhere, but you can find not a trace of the item. Is this really the place of the worst memory of Jinovitch?

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

What? Nothing? So I suppose that was not the right place . . . return to Bero Pelli and bring him up to date. Maybe when he reflects on it more, he will think of a memory even worse . . .

You go to Natae to talk to Bero Pelli

Bero Pelli

What? That wasn't the right place? Impossible. I am sure that was the worst memory Jinovitch has known. Unless . . .

No . . . this strange story, is it really true? I can't believe it . . . anyway . . . I suppose it can be. Hmmm, maybe Sirgio Bechio will know some details about this . . . affair.

Go back to see Lini Ciochio, he will send you to her. By the way, I found this, and I thought you might find this helpful.

He gives you a Modi Parok Vest, q120

You return to Yrkanis to talk to Lini Ciochio

If your none of your fight skills is above 100, you get this message;

Lini Ciochio

Very well, go and train some more and then I'll send you to go see Sirgio Bechio.

You train one of your fight skills to at least 100 and return to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

Well, in that case go and see Sirgio Bechio in Avalae for me and ask him to tell you about Jinovitch. She should have an interesting story to tell . . .

You go to Avalae to talk to Sirgio Bechio

Sirgio Bechio

Jinovitch's worst memory . . . yes, there's a story that comes to mind. Nobody knows if it's real or not. But if it really happened, Jinovitch has certainly done enough to be forgotten. Here is the story . . .

Long before the poisoning of his half-brother . . . well, even before his brother became adviser to the court . . . Jinovitch, while travelling, met a young girl named Virginia in Majestic Garden. They became friends, and one day Jinovitch asked her to come find him in Hidden Source.

It is unclear what really happened there, but people remember seeing the girl return to Yrkanis . . . alone. Apparently, Jinovitch sat motionless for several hours.

It is said that after this story Jinovitch became bitter and tyrannical. I'm not sure if this is the place you are looking for, but . . . it was in Hidden Source, north-east of the lake, not far from the camp of the Arid Matis, near the cliff. Be careful though, the local wildlife is very dangerous, and the Arid Matis see spies everywhere . . .

You go to Hidden Source and find a Chest hidden in a pile of rocks

You return to Yrkanis to speak to Lini Ciochio

Lini Ciochio

A chest! Will it contain the weapon . . . or the armour . . . Yamrat mentioned? But . . . we don't have the key! What to do now?

Yes . . . we must break open the chest. Go see my old friend, Varo Beldo. You can find him here in Yrkanis. He can open the chest without too much trouble, I am sure. Oh, and could you show me the contents of the chest afterward? I would really like to see it.

You go to find Varo Beldo

Varo Beldo

A chest? Let me have a look, I'll get to work on it.

And here . . . what a wonderful sight! This is one of the best weapons I have ever seen. This must have been difficult to find . . . congratulations!

You return to Lini Ciochio to show him the contents of the chest

Lini Ciochio

What a beautiful pike! I understand why Jinovitch has kept it hidden . . . would you care to trade it for this gun? It also belonged to Jinovitch.

You make your choice

Lini Ciochio

Very good. Here, this is for you.

You take the Pike or the Stylone Rifle and the mission is completed.
