Nikola's Heart

Good to see you again. I've found out some interesting things about the type of metal used to construct this plate, but I haven't been able to determine what's inside. Apparently, we need to decode the password. As much as I hate to admit it, I think we need Nikola's help to solve this riddle. Would you go visit him for me -- I'm still worried about the fight we had...

• "You can count on me."

I've been studying the metal plate you brought me. I'm very pleased that I can continue my research...

(Only characters level 41 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

It seems that this metal plate is actually an ancient recording device used in a research lab in the Tower of Cruma. Please tell that to Nikola, and ask him to help us solve the password. Perhaps we can set aside our differences in the face of this amazing new discovery...

Did you visit Nikola? To continue our research, we need to solve the password so we can access the secrets of the metal plate. Please hurry!

I have been waiting for you. Do you have any good news for me?

• Ask him to decode the password on the metal plate.

She said that, eh?

It was a good thing that I listened to you, I see. I will do my best to help you. May I see it?

Hmm... this is beyond my abilities. But there is a Dwarf who can help you...

• "Who is it? Tell me."

He is Head Blacksmith Kusto in the town of Giran. He will certainly be able to decode this password for sure. Surprised? You shouldn't be. But go visit him for yourself and you'll see why he is ideal for this task.

I will introduce you to Head Blacksmith Kusto in the town of Giran, who I am confident can solve this riddle. Go visit him.

Long time no see! Do you have any good news?

• "I heard that you also gave Nikola some work."

Ha ha! I don't know how you found that out. Well...since you already know, I will tell you. I wouldn't mind if Nikola and Lorain would work together, actually, but since they despise each other I thought it best to let them work separately. But as you discovered, this is not something that you can finish on your own, is it?

• "That problem has been resolved. I found something that looks like a relic, but we need the password."

Ah! Let me see it !

Hmm. I see. Yes, we certainly need the password. It might take me some time, but I think I can puzzle it out. Excellent work, my young friend! Please accept this as a token of my gratitude. Farewell -- I must take this to my lab!
