Xiuh
Reaper's Coast
Thrice-Bound Chest (lvl 12)
Reaper's Coast
Xiuh will ignore all non "Lizard + Pet Pal talent" characters.
We encountered a salamander in Ryker's house. It didn't seem to take a liking to us.
We tried to speak with the salamander in Ryker's house, but spoke in a strange tongue that we were not familiar with.
We spoke with the salamander in Ryker's house. It seems that it can only speak in a rare lizard dialect thanks to its deceased former owner, a lizard.
The salamander told us the words that will unlock a burning chest that once belonged to its former master.
The salamander told us the words that will unlock a burning chest that once belonged to its former master... but it seems we are not the first one to receive this information.
The salamander is dead.
Try to open Thrice-Bound Chest (lvl 12).
We have found a magically-locked chest that demands a password.
We learned that the late former master of the Salamander had a magical chest that could only be unlocked by uttering a phrase from an ancient lizard dialect.
Pull the chest out of the fire, you can, for example, teleport it and open it with the help of the character you talked to the salamander.
*Quietly sing the password the salamander taught you.*
The result will be ...
We managed to open the chest.
We have departed from Reaper's Coast, without dealing with the salamander any further.
We have left Reaper's Coast behind, and with it, the burning chest.
