Chapter 2: Season 8 Questlines

UNICORN FLAKES IS THROWIN' A PARTY!! BUT WHERE?!
WHEEE!! SO MANY SPOTS TO CELEBRATE THE APOCALYPSE!!!

CAN THIS PLACE SUSTAIN THE BOOGIE OF 100 DOOMED SOULS?!
THIS PARTY DEMANDS A REINFORCED STEEL DANCE FLOOR!!

COULD WE PARTY ATOP AN ACTIVELY SMOKING CRASH SITE?!
IT'S TOO SPICY HERE! CORPORATE WANTS SOMETHING SWEETER.

WE CAN'T LET SOMEONE ELSE BOOK OUR PARTY SPOT!!
THIS FIGHT IS NOT SPONSORED BY UNICORN FLAKES.

WHAT IF WE CELEBRATE THE APOCALYPSE... IN THE APOCALYPSE!!
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, IT'S THE MONSTER'S FAULT.

Something long dormant stirs. You must prepare.
Be warned, it's just a taste of the unseen horrors to come.

Something long dormant stirs. You must prepare.
Be warned, it's just a taste of the unseen horrors to come.

I will continue the tale by a fire. How it ends, is up to you.
As night falls, fog slips over the stacks.

As trees they walk, as ghosts they stalk. Tread softly or meet your doom.
The ground shakes, but only dust is left in their wake.

Suddenly, creatures burst forth and grab you! Quick, aim for the head!
Reload and steady yourself.

Wave after wave of creatures surge forward. You must stay alive!
A happy ending! Don't worry, it was all just a story.

A mutual friend told me you wanted to practice long range combat.
Looks like you're ready. Let's get going.

Lesson one: Experienced snipers show poise under pressure.
Not bad. How about we work on accuracy next?

Precision aiming with a variety of weaponry is crucial.
I think our mutual friend underestimated your abilities.

You've got the sniping skills... now be patient for the perfect shot.
Interesting. Have you ever thought about becoming a mercenary?

Y'know what? Let's celebrate. I know a place with great sightlines.
You're alright. If you want to team up... you know where I am.

Wanna fight like a vampire? Be persistent when asking for permission.
If they don't answer... you could knock down a wall or two.

Make them fear the very sight of you.
Positively terrifying, darling.

Practice looming over your prey.
Ooh, look at them tremble! It's hilarious!

Let the power of the night give you strength.
Combat is a scream when the enemy's will is broken!

Real vampires consume the weakand harvest their strength.
And that's how vampires fight. Fear us... or become one of us.

You think you can handle the Sideways? Prove it.
Call yourself a hunter if you want, but we're the ones being hunted.

The weapons in there? They're powerful. I'd grab one, if you can.
Don't point that thing at me.

Sideways weapons have a real kick to 'em. Get used to it.
... Maybe you'll be useful in this hunt after all.

This is it. It's time to prove yourself as a hunter.
Huh. You survived. Good work.

If you can manage a full hunt, I'll be really impressed.
Fine. If you don't ask any personal questions... you can join my hunt.

The Island is lonely. Let us craft more friends, friend!
YAY! Friendship plan working PERFECTLY so far.

Friends will be built by us and very much friendly like us!
Friends are almost ready. What are we missing?

Of course! Friends need weapons to destroy others who betray them.
Now we are pleased!

Friends done! Now we invite others to friend party.
Invite to party sent! I wait here for RSVPs.

We wait for others to arrive!
Others who didn't come to friend party will be sad. Soon.

If you want to ally with the mushrooms, strike our greatest enemy first.
Mushrooms are meant to be wild.

My siblings are seeking better soil. Can you relocate 'em?
You've saved many innocent toadstools today.

Weird question... you ever make a gun for a mushroom man?
Our defenses are fortified. Thanks pal.

I got a distress call from a nearby fridge. My brother-in-law's trapped!
Robert! Thank the loam! You've saved him!

It's tradition to celebrate mushroom victories by feasting on compost.
After today... the mushrooms will help you take down the Cubes.

New builders often have bad habits. Let's start them off with a clean slate.
Excellent! Plenty of space to build something beautiful.

Builders should understand the materials at their disposal.
A strong foundation in the fundamentals is key.

Gather some quality metal. It makes for stronger structures.
Perfect, these materials will do nicely.

A skilled builder can identify any structure's weaknesses.
That was a great example!

It's always worth taking the time to celebrate a job well done!
A quality build deserves a proper huzzah!

Welcome to stunt driver training. Gas up and lets get started.
Great, now we're all set to get rolling.

Stunting 101: Bring a vehicle to stunt in.
You got your wheels to the gig and that's what counts.

You have to commit to a stunt. Smash that lesson in!
If you've already started a stunt... DON'T STOP!

Now you're ready to stunt like a pro. Go with a classic.
Wow great air! I'm impressed.

Final lesson of stunt driving: scrape off the road-rash and try again.
Great job! That's a wrap for this session. Keep stunting!

IO's got gear, and I want it. You in?
Heh. It'll be fun to make IO angry.

Better shield up. If you get knocked, I'm out.
Ooh, you're obedient! I like this. Uh... dance like a chicken!

You're the IO insider. Which place has the good loot?
Those Oni don't stand a chance once I've got my new Pulse Rifle.

Clear the area of those bucket heads, will ya?
I'd use my sword, but cursing them feels like a bit much

Crack open those crates. I wanna smell that fresh gear smell.
Mmm... smells like pulse ammo. Nice work.

It's surf 'n turf time, baby! Let's scope out the local fishing scene.
Thanks for the added pair of eyes.

We'll catch more with a lure... Like a new coral bed for the fishies.
That'll make for some happy fish. Now let's catch some!

Let the little ones go ...so we can eat them later!
Yup yup, big fish are best for our super supper.

We need some turf for our surf 'n turf!
The menu's set! Appreciate the help.

Let's eat! A good day's catch is its own reward.
Delicious! Catch ya next time.

You! Tallchimp! Have you helped the war effort today?
Remember: If we all chimp in, we'll do this thing!

You! Tallchimp! Have you helped the war effort today?
Remember: If we all chimp in, we'll do this thing!

We need compact cars for some low-profile surveillance.
I'd get it myself, but the thumbs on my feet keep getting in the way?

Alien metal is the perfect alloy for crafting combat supplies.
It's irradiated, but hey! Space radiation worked wonders for me!

I need you to rally the troops. Boost morale. Grind the ol' organ for 'em.
How are they feeling? Should I have sent you out there with cymbals?

Whaddya think, Tallchimp? Ready to try one of the big weapons?
Say it with me: If we all chimp in, we'll do this thing!

So much... Color! Show me more!!
Azure! Ecru! Chartreuse! All tickling my brain with happy feelings!!

Doesn't all this color just make you want to DANCE?
Look! Pretty golden ammo! Catch it!

Ooh, purple! Show me purple!
I'm getting the sense that they're not supposed to be doing that.

Ooh, purple! Show me purple!
I'm getting the sense that they're not supposed to be doing that.

I've gotta get a closer look at that colorful car. Don't let it get away!
Cars without wheels? Hard to drive.

There are so many colors to see. Should we hire a tour guide?
There's gotta be a way to bring all this color home with me?

Dawg, I'm short on bars. Help me save up to serve up!
Hot dog, that's some cash money!

Bro, couch cushions! There's loose Bars there, like, all the time!
Always check where buns loaf. Bars fall outta pockets, dawg!

The gig economy is wack, but when you need Bars, you need Bars.
Ultimately we're all just chains in the great link, you know?

Oh yeah baby, we've secured the bag! Now, to secure the goods.
Oh bro. BRO! BROOOOOO! YES, BRO!

Shall we relish the benefits of our hard work, my dude?
Dang. That ruled. Worth it

There's rumblings of wolf activity in the area. Check it out.
Ahh! They're headed towards the houses!

The wolves must be going for the granny-in-bed ploy!
Thanks for that! Now the wolves can't pull that one again.

A silver-tipped harpoon could work as a wolf deterrent!
Right, I think we're ready to strike back.

Strike down that scoundrel of a wolf!
That was a thing of beauty!

Celebrate with the local wildlife! It helps if you tame them first.
I'm sure deep down the wildlife understood our joy.

Use the dark skies to wreak havoc on the ground monster's creations.
Bleak and melancholy. Just how I like it.

Take to the skies above these repulsive ground creatures.
TWe are the dark cloud looming over their fleshy monster-y bodies!

Don't let these wicked monsters interrupt your peaceful flight.
I was writing poetry up here and they got me all distracted.

A fast elimination from above allows more time for brooding.
See? Now you have time to daydream of misery and destruction!

Ugh, destroy that glowing chest. It sounds too... Happy.
That joyful tinkling sound makes me smile... And I hate smiling.

Why don't you buy a shield or three?
Good choice. We're all vulnerable. Too vulnerable?

Take whatever shields you can get. Even if it's from a weird lil fish.
Don't ever let anyone hurt you if you can help it.

Walls are basically shields on shields!
If you put walls up, no one can get to your soft, squishy heart.

You're going to the Sideways?! Two words: TAKE. SHIELDS.
I can't believe you did that. Your bravery is... kinda inspiring.

This is the ultimate test. Can you take a hit and live through it?
You're okay! Wow! Maybe it's okay to put yourself out there. Huh.

IO has scrolls that speak of the Spirit Vessel, a powerful artifact that can restore my visions.
You've done well. I've determined the location of the Spirit Vessel and marked it on your map.

The Spirit Vessel is not an artifact of this world. We must reach between realms.
Wielding a powerful relic has its costs, but we must bear this burden to get answers.

The Spirit Vessel must be charged. The dark energies of these cubes will do nicely.
Excellent, the Spirit Vessel is now ready for the next part of our plan.

The Sideways blocks the spirit world's energy. We'll need to break through.
I've reestablished my connection with the Spirit Realm. My vision is clear again.

I must share what I have seen. Our fate is unimaginably dire.
We must choose. Painful sacrifice... or total annihilation.

File in troops. We must understand these creature's abilities.
Glad your mission was a success.

Your orders: Identify the monster's strengths and weaknesses.
This is useful intel.

Soldiers should be aware of what their enemy is capable of.
Defeating these monsters has yielded results.

Gather resources and prepare for a counter-attack.
Great job. Those will aid in our fight.

Take what you've learned and make your foe taste defeat.
We've won this battle. Stay vigilant and keep fighting.

I'm improving the world one piece of scrap at a time. Join me!
Way to be scrappy!

We shall spread the love of scrap into a more natural setting.
Nature looks good with some scrap on it.

Gather materials and shields for our next scrap pile.
Way to go. I like the little scrappy bits all over.

Scrap heaps bringjoy to all. At least they do to me.
The world of scrap is such a joy.

Turn a frown upside down... by turning structures into scrap!
This place is just getting better all the time!

I've heard you're adept at long range combat, let's train together.
Looks like you're all geared up. Let's get cracking.

Experienced snipers show poise under pressure.
Handled in stride. How about we work on accuracy next.

Precision aiming with a variety of weaponry is crucial.
Skillful. You're definitely part of the sniper elite.

A true sniper is patient and knows when to strike.
Waiting can be so intense! You did great out there.

We just got some seriously confirmed skills! Celebrate from on high!
Ha! Nice moves! Let's train again sometime.

The corruption is spreading. Slow it down while I work on a plan to stop it.
I have an idea. You a fan of nostalgia?

Get a good vantage point. Look for places that have changed.
If we harness energy from places that have transformed before, we can stop the corruption.

Harness the transformational power of the island to end the corruption.
Good. I'm registering an energy surge. But we'll need more.

Something's wrong. These transformed items have been buried.
It's still not enough. Could it be?

The chair! The chair's out of phase! Fix it! Hurry!!
NO! The Cube Queen drained it of its power. Without the chair. What will we do?
