Dialogue

Gulabi Dialogue

If you're looking to make strong weapons from Black Stone,
then best head to Omar Lava Cave.
There's an old man named Hakan Derk.
The lava cave used to serve as a
gigantic furnace during wartime.
It was always producing something. Endlessly.
I'm sure he used to handle plenty of Black Stones.
Perhaps he can help you out.

Gulabi Dialogue (Alt)

Nobody wants to get their hands dirty,
but everybody wants a piece of Black Stone.

Hakan Derk Completion

Even little kids know that Black Stones are expensive.
Also that there are lots of people who desire them.
Tell you what. People who've been handling the Black Stone
all their life, people like me,
wouldn't want anything to do with the Black Stone.
Do you know why?
'Cause something tragic always happened around it.
Believe me!
