Ancient SoldierHave an Origin Island afternoon!
How did that sound?
Oh, sorry—I'm just trying out a new greeting. What
did you think of it?
Splendid. I'm trying to get everyone on the island
to use it.
In any case, I hope you're enjoying your visit here.
Have you already seen the sights?
You know...Penguin Beach, the Ancient Tower, the
Forest Shrine, and the Rocky Hill Shrine?
There sure is a lot to see. I'll let you get on with it!

Ancient SoldierYou'll find a sacred tree just beyond this area. But
I must warn you...
do NOT, under any circumstances, etch your name
into the bark. Doing so would invite a terrible curse.
Oh, all right. There's no curse. And I'm not
authorized to punish you in any way.
But I think you'll find that my tone will become
MARGINALLY LESS POLITE upon your return.
So just leave the tree alone, OK?
Ancient SoldierBeyond this point, you may encounter a particularly
large fish.
I must caution you... I have already seen the fish for
myself. I know how big it is.
So please don't return and tell me any stories
about it. I have heard them all.
Ancient SoldierGood day, stranger. Head west from here if you're
looking for the hot spring.
Why not take a dip? You look like you could use
a break, if you don't mind my saying so.
Ancient SoldierGood day, stranger. Head west from here if you're
looking for the hot spring.
It's open all hours of the day and night! You should
take a dip and let off some steam.
Ancient SoldierGreetings! The Ancient Tower is just up ahead. It's
so high, you can't even see the top!
Ancient SoldierGreetings! The Ancient Tower is just up ahead.
Can't see it in the dark? Well, you'll just have to
take my word for it!
Ancient SoldierGood day. Just east of here, you'll find the
Soldier Garrison.
There isn't much in the way of hospitality...but
there are countless monsters. Do come visit!
Ancient SoldierGood evening. Just east of here, you'll find the
Soldier Garrison.

Ancient SoldierIf you can't find your way here on the island,
just ask a friendly Ancient Soldier!
Er...not me, though. I'm busy at the moment. But I'm
sure one of the others will be happy to help you.
Ancient SoldierThere's a fearsome monster that stalks this island
at night, you know. Gets me almost every night.
I'm speaking, of course, of the Sleepybye Monster.
What? A grown soldier can't be afraid of the
Sleepybye Monster?
DaphneMy boyfriend is pretty cool...but he's no
Ancient Soldier!
DaphneI actually think I've got what it takes to BE an
Ancient Soldier. My boyfriend? Not so much.
SallyOh, I just love it out here! Can't you smell the
sweet grass...and the flowers in bloom? Ahh!
SallyDo bugs live in the trees? That'd be so cool. How
come I can't live in a tree?
NapollonI came here on vacation with my girlfriend, but all
she can talk about are the Ancient Soldiers!
Napollon"Take a midnight stroll with your girlfriend," they said.
"It'll be fun," they said.
All she wants to do is talk about the
Ancient Soldiers!
MallowSee that sweet little girl over there? My
granddaughter, you know. Light of my Life!
MallowSee the sweet little lad over there? My grandson,
you know. My pride and joy!
ManaYou think I'm just some little kid, huh? Well...you're
not wrong.
ManaWhat? I have a really late bedtime.Where does the river end? Where does the ocean
begin? Or is it all just one big, blue blanket?
Who knows. These are the sorts of questions you
could ask yourself for years...or not.
There are some ruins visible beneath the surface of
the lake. This would make a nice picnic spot.
Ancient SoldierHello, stranger. Follow this grassy slope down to
find a quaint little beach.
Or take the sandy slope if you're looking for
a slightly larger beach.
The choice is yours! What freedom! I do hope
you like beaches...

Bounty ClerkI come from a long line of Bounty Clerks here on
Origin Island. I can deal with any Bounties you have.
Bounty ClerkGood evening. My, it's late to be out adventuring.
If you have any Bounties, I can process them here.
Bounty ClerkWow! That's a nice [Player] you have
there. Good job!
I can pay you [Name 1] Dosh for it. Is that OK?
Bounty ClerkAh, you nabbed a pesky [Player]!
Thank you for dealing with it. I feel safer already!
I can pay you [Name 1] Dosh for it. Is that OK?
Bounty ClerkBy Captain Mustang's mustache! Is that a real
[Player]?
I'll ask again—did you actually defeat a real, live
DRAGON? It's so impressive!
This is quite the Bounty. Congratulations!
I can pay you [Name 1] Dosh for it. Is that OK?
Bounty ClerkWow! That's a nice [Player] you have
there. Good job!
I can pay you [Name 1] Dosh for it. Is that OK?
Bounty ClerkYou know what a Bounty is, right? A Bounty will
appear when you get something special.
That could be a big fish, an elder tree, or even a
fearsome monster!
If you take one to a Bounty Clerk, you'll get paid
good Dosh for the contents.
And you can keep anything else that may be
hiding in there too.
Bounty ClerkThank you very much! Please come again soon.
Ah, wait a moment—there's something inside...
WOW. Here you go!
Bounty ClerkExcellent! Leave the rest up to me. I'll make sure
this villain is suitably punished!
Maybe I'll make him run a hundred laps around the
Ancient Tower. That'll take the wind out of him!
Thank you for your vigilance. I hope we can
continue to rely on you to protect Origin Island.
Here. This is an extra reward from the Spring Elder.
We are in your debt.
Bounty ClerkThank you very much. Please come again soon!
Oh! Wait a second! There's something inside...
Wow! Who'd have thought a dragon would have
something like this! Here. It's yours now.
Bounty ClerkThank you very much! And of course, you can keep
the [Player].
Bounty ClerkOh. So now you don't need me? Hmph!
Well, do come again...I suppose.
