Herman Feresio Dialogue

I'm not sure if you've heard, but there are reports of
Mutant Ogres and Trolls in Calpheon.
Many an Adventurer have attempted to defeat them,
but... the results have all been the same.
I thought at first this mutation
was due to some Mutant Enhancer.
However, we soon found
traces of the Giant's Draught.
Along with suspicious that there were
two alchemists behind this foul play.
If the same kind of side effects lie within
the Giant's Draughts currently in circulation, this could be a huge problem.
Would you be able to look into this matter?
Oh, if you're not familiar with Alchemy, I ask you return when you've gained some skill.

Herman Feresio Dialogue (Alt)

If these side effects lie within the Giant's Draught, this could be a huge problem.
Speak to me when you're ready.

Black Spirit Completion

Hehe. Finding the reason for this mutation is good and all,
but don't you wanna claim that power all for ourselves?
Let's take a looksie and confirm for ourselves
if there's any dark energy to be found!
