Journal

Guildmaster Cocobygo wishes to enlist your assistance.
Cocobygo is disturbed by his eldest sibling's uncharacteristic indecision. Speak with Cocobuki, and see what might be done to aid the hesitant thaumaturge in taking a definitive course of action.
The scholars who originally requested the destruction of Mormo's urn have returned from their expedition into the ruins of Sil'dih. Seek out the three voidmaths in Camp Drybone, and ask for their chapters of the Book of Mormo.
You have collected the three chapters of the Book of Mormo. Deliver the completed tome to Cocobuki at the Thaumaturges' Guild.
Upon handing the Book of Mormo to Cocobuki, he reads several key excerpts to you out loud. The scholars' work seems to have given him an idea on how to handle his voidsent-possessed brother. Returning the book back to you, Cocobuki requests you show its contents to Cocobygo.
Cocobuki bids you undertake the trial depicted in the true final chapter of the Yawning Abyss, and prove to his siblings that a brave mage is not necessarily a dead mage. When you are prepared to demonstrate the heretofore hidden chapter's lesson, proceed into the hallowed hall of Thal's Respite in eastern Thanalan, and speak with Cocobuki.
You have completed the terrible and deadly trial of the hidden chapter. Return to the Thaumaturges' Guild and speak with Cocobuki.
With the horrors of the hidden chapter safely vanquished, you have inspired the guildmaster siblings to greater heights of thaumaturgy. Return to your studies, and prepare for the coming confrontation with Mormo herself. ※The next thaumaturge quest will be available from Cocobuki upon reaching level 30.

Hidden

Easter egg Cocobuki

announces the last foe as 'The Lord of Flies'. 'Lord of the Flies' is an old title for Beelzebub, a major demon in Abrahamic religions.

- #46 The Threat of Paucity: Cocobusi comes to the Ossuary hoping his training can finally begin. Instead his brothers give him Amalj'aa blood for his magic-boosting elixir. He sees this as another way to put him off and says he wants to fight at their side.
- #72 The Threat of Superiority: Cocobusi follows you to the trial to prove himself. Mormo, a voidsent (a demon) inside the urn, offers him power, and Cocobusi wishes for it. He says he feels nothing, then acts strangely, and Cocobezi notices the change.
- #110 The Threat of Perplexity: Cocobusi offers to lead your hunt for the Mageslayer and hires a Roegadyn warrior. He sends you alone into a cave after an imp. There Cocobuki reveals that Mormo possesses him and feeds on thaumaturges' aether. Mormo says Cocobusi longed for this power.

What happens in this quest spoilers for this quest

Cocobygo thinks the Book of Mormo leaves only their usual way: killing Cocobusi. He protests when Cocobuki plans to let Mormo feed on his mana and asks you to take the trial. Watching you, his fear turns to excitement.
Cocobani calls Cocobuki's risky plan mad, since thaumaturges (mages) avoid threats. He tells you there is still time to flee the trial, but after watching you he hopes Cocobusi can be saved and rethinks his strategies.
Cocobezi wants to strike now, while Mormo is still weak, even though it pains him. After seeing your trial, he admits the brothers have wasted their potential and that a brave mage can live.
Cocoboha sadly agrees that they must slay Cocobusi and fears a foe they hold no edge against. He asks if the trial does not terrify you. After watching you, his fingers itch to fling fire.
Cocobuki reads the Book of Mormo and finds a risky way to spare Cocobusi: let Mormo feed on his mana (magic power), then fight her. He blames himself for teaching only sure wins and asks you to show his brothers courage.
Cocobusi: The Book of Mormo says such possession cannot be undone. Cocobuki explains that Cocobusi's body gives Mormo little aether (magic energy), so she hunts mages. Cocobuki plans a risky way to free him alive.

Ah, [name]─I saw you coming this time. I've been more watchful since Cocobuki told us about that dreadful business with Cocobusi. We must locate our unfortunate younger sibling as soon as possible and...and deal with him.

FR Dis, [name]... tu es au courant pour Cocobusi, n'est-ce pas ? ‘Say, [name]... you know about Cocobusi, don't you?’ English has him say he saw you coming this time; French asks whether you know about Cocobusi.

But Cocobuki is not his usual, unflappable self! It frightens me to see our eldest so indecisive. Terrifies me, in fact. Perhaps you might speak with him, and help banish this air of uncertainty.

Speak with Cocobuki.

Cocobuki

[name]. Long have I agonized over Cocobusi's plight...and the measures I might take to extricate him from it.

It would not do to call upon my thaumaturge colleagues. No, they would simply seek to obliterate my brother outright. Our teachings from the Yawning Abyss allow for no other alternative.

Deliver the Book of Mormo to Cocobuki at the Thaumaturges' Guild.

Cocobuki

There is, however, one tiny glimmer of hope. I have had word that the scholars who requested the destruction of Mormo's urn have returned from their expedition.

They are currently in Camp Drybone, blowing the ink dry on their collective findings regarding that wretched voidsent. I would ask that you go to these experts of otherworldly phenomena, and beg permission to peruse their work.

You...you're interested in reading our Book of Mormo? Of course, of course, it would be a pleasure to share our findings with a fellow student of the voidsent!

DE Du pflegst recht außergewöhnliche Hobbys, wenn mir diese Bemerkung erlaubt ist. ‘You have rather unusual hobbies, if I may say so. Hohoho!’ English welcomes a fellow student of the voidsent; German teases you about your unusual hobbies.
JA ハハッ、いいだろう、なかなか珍しい趣味をしているね。 ‘Haha, all right, you have quite an unusual hobby.’ English welcomes a fellow student of the voidsent; Japanese teases you about your unusual hobby.

Here is the first chapter─mine own humble contribution to our research. It tells the tale of how we became aware of the creature's existence, and delves into the nature of the urn that imprisoned her fell power.

You wish to learn of Mormo? Right this instant? But we've barely─ How did you─ Well, I suppose I could spare a copy of my writings. I've already prepared several extra sets to share with potential publishers.

FR Vous savez, il s'agit d'un de ces êtres démoniaques surgis du néant. ‘You know, it is one of those demonic beings that emerged from the void.’ English scholar is flustered by the sudden request; French scholar calmly starts explaining what Mormo is.
DE Wie schön, eine Gleichgesinnte/einen Gleichgesinnten zu treffen! ‘How nice to meet a kindred spirit!’ English scholar is flustered by the sudden request; German scholar is delighted to meet a kindred spirit.
JA 妖異「モルモー」に関心があるのね、教えてあげる。 ‘So you're interested in the voidsent Mormo; I'll tell you about it.’ English scholar is flustered by the sudden request; Japanese scholar simply offers to explain.

I can well understand your curiosity. Mormo is truly fascinating, even among the oddities of the voidsent. She is far too powerful to make use of the tiny holes that open between our realities, and thus must send across only her spirit to possess a corpse or some other suitable host. You'll find it all explained there in the second chapter.

If you seek the definitive work on Mormo, then seek no further! I have penned an in-depth analysis of a most cunning ritual─a method contrived by the mages of eld to annihilate the soul of this especially potent voidsent!

FR Écoutez, j'ai justement écrit un traité sur les procédés que des mages d'autrefois avaient mis au point pour capturer son âme. ‘Listen, I have just written a treatise on the methods that mages of old devised to capture her soul.’ English says the old method annihilates the voidsent's soul; French says it captures her soul.

When it comes to draining such a creature of its aetheric energies, one must─ Ah, but I have not the time to stand here explaining the intricacies of shaping arcane pottery. Here, take my chapter and read it at your leisure!

Cocobuki

Do you have the three chapters of the Book of Mormo?

“The histories unearthed in the ruins of Sil'dih depict the suffering wrought by a singularly powerful voidsent─the cunning and terrible seductress known as Mormo.

“With genius born of desperation, the mages of the now-fallen city fashioned an urn that would drain and imprison the aetheric vitality of any creature that laid a hand─or claw─upon it. Mormo, believing she was receiving a gift of appeasement from the beleaguered citizens, found her very essence drawn forth and trapped within the ensorcelled pot.

DE Nachdem diese sich Zugang zu unserer Welt verschafft hatte und in den Körper eines unfreiwilligen Wirts gefahren war, schufen die Magier Sil'dihs eine Urne, die dem Wirt seinen Äther entzog und mit ihm Mormos Seele aus dem Körper saugte. ‘After she had gained access to our world and entered the body of an unwilling host, the mages of Sil'dih created an urn that drained the host of its aether and with it sucked Mormo's soul out of the body.’ English says Mormo touched the urn thinking it a peace gift; German says the urn drew her soul out of her host.

“Over the course of several centuries, the captive aetheric energy was intended to weaken and dissipate, allowing any surviving descendants to safely shatter the urn and thus destroy Mormo's enervated spirit.

“The pot's lid was never to be opened again─to do so would release the ravenous voidsent, freeing her soul to enslave the nearest mortal vessel. As possession of this nature is irreversible, the only mercy afforded such a host should be a swift and decisive demise.”

Hm hm hm... This explains Mormo's fixation on thaumaturgicide. Cocobusi's body provided little arcane sustenance for the weakened voidsent, forcing her to prey upon richer sources of aether to restore her hideous power.

This morsel of information may prove most vital! In fact, it may be the only glimmer of hope our poor sibling has. Pray hand this work over to Cocobygo─I shall be along momentarily.

DE Glauben wir dieser Schrift, dann ist Cocobusis Schicksal bereits besiegelt. ‘Hm hm... If we believe this writing, then Cocobusi's fate is already sealed.’ English sees the only glimmer of hope for Cocobusi; German says Cocobusi's fate is already sealed.

Take the Book of Mormo to Cocobygo.

Cocobygo

This is a work devoted to studying that nasty voidsent? I should hope it provides some hint of salvation...

Uhhh, Cocobuki... These passages hold naught but misery and despair. It seems we have little choice but to employ our...traditional approach.

FR Nous n'avons pas d'autre choix que de tuer Cocobusi... ‘We have no other choice than to kill Cocobusi...?’ English euphemistically speaks of the traditional approach; French says outright to kill Cocobusi.

Speak with Cocobuki at Thal's Respite.

Cocobuki

Though fraught with danger, there is one solution that promises an alternative to killing Cocobusi. If we fail, however, it will likely mean death for us all.

Cocobani

Who is this mad mage that poses as our eldest brother!? What of avoiding the threats? Of eliminating the risks? Is that not how we thaumaturges do battle!?

Cocobezi

With each passing moment, Mormo draws ever closer to her full strength. It pains me to even suggest it, but...we should strike now, Cocobuki, while the voidsent is yet feeble.

Cocoboha

I share that selfsame sentiment. Sorrowful though it may be, we must slay our enslaved sibling...and soon.

Speak with Cocobuki at the Thaumaturges' Guild.

Cocobuki

Listen, brothers, for my solution is thus: in return for releasing Cocobusi from Mormo's thrall...I will offer the voidsent the chance to glut herself on my mana.

DE Weil er nicht auf meinen genialen Plan gekommen wäre. ‘Because he wouldn't have come up with my brilliant plan.’ English simply announces his solution; German quips that Busi would not have thought of his brilliant plan.

Cocobygo

You cannot! That succubus will drain you to a lifeless husk! And such a feast will awaken all her terrible magicks!

Cocobuki

The well of my power is vast─I wager Mormo's thirst will be slaked before my spirit fully runs dry. And the newly enlivened voidsent? She will then face the combined wrath of [name] and four guildmasters of thaumaturgy!

Cocoboha

How can we hope to prevail against this paragon of preternatural potency? We have always avoided adversaries against whom we held no advantage...

Cocobuki

The fault lies with me. Ever have I encouraged such avoidance, and taught only the wisdom of certain victory. It is time we learned the courage to fight battles of unsure outcome.

And it is you, [name], that I ask to instruct us. There is yet one chapter left in the Yawning Abyss─one that is customarily hidden from newer members. Undertake the trial found within, and show my brothers what it means to be brave.

Cocobygo

H-How can you ask such a thing of p-poor [name] when even her/his guildmasters have yet to attempt that ghastly test!?

Cocobuki

The arcane might you all possess is far greater than you believe. [name], once you deem yourself prepared for the lesson of the true final chapter, meet us in the hallowed hall of Thal's Respite.

I regret having to drag you into our family's troubles, but I am confident that, with the many and terrible trials you have bested already, you will prevail once more.

The hidden chapter of the Yawning Abyss presents a trial that challenges the accumulated knowledge and skills of a single thaumaturge. You must employ all the tools at your disposal if you hope to seize victory this day.

Let the trial commence!

Cocobygo

[name]! Why are you talking to me!? You should─ ...Oh. The trial has yet to begin. Of course. I knew that.

FR Fais bien attention à toi. ‘[name]... Take good care of yourself.’ English jokes that he forgot the trial had not begun; French just tells you to be careful.
DE Mute dir nicht zu viel zu! ‘[name]! Don't take on too much!’ English jokes that he forgot the trial had not begun; German just tells you not to take on too much.
JA [name]……む、無茶しないで……。 ‘[name]... d-don't do anything reckless...’ English jokes that he forgot the trial had not begun; Japanese just tells you not to be reckless.

Cocobani

There's still time to flee, you know. That's what I would do!

FR On t'aime bien, nous, tu sais... ‘[name], nothing forces you to face this trial. We like you, you know...’ English jokes that he would flee himself; French says they have grown fond of you.
DE Du bist uns nämlich ziemlich ans Herz gewachsen, weißt du? ‘We've grown rather fond of you, you know?’ English jokes that he would flee himself; German says they have grown fond of you.
JA おめぇのこと、俺ら結構気に入ってんだよぉ！ ‘We've taken quite a liking to you!’ English jokes that he would flee himself; Japanese says they have grown fond of you.

Cocobezi

I always thought that the trial of the hidden chapter was to avoid taking the trial of the hidden chapter...

FR Si aucun de nous quatre n'a tenté cette épreuve du chapitre secret, c'est parce qu'elle est réputée être très difficile... ‘If none of us four has attempted this trial of the secret chapter, it is because it is reputed to be very difficult...’ English jokes the trial is to avoid taking the trial; French says it is reputed to be very hard.
DE Die Aussicht auf Erfolg ... ist gering. ‘The prospect of success... is slim.’ English jokes the trial is to avoid taking the trial; German says the chance of success is slim.
JA 勝てる確率が、低いからだ……。 ‘Because the odds of winning are low...’ English jokes the trial is to avoid taking the trial; Japanese says the odds of winning are low.

Cocoboha

Do you truly intend to undertake this torturous test? Are you not terrified!?

Cocobygo

I cannot stop sh-shaking. But I think...I think this may actually be excitement!

FR Tu as vraiment réussi l'épreuve, [name]... ‘It's incredible...! You really passed the trial, [name]...!?’ English says his shaking may be excitement; French marvels that you really passed the trial.
DE Du hast es wirklich geschafft? ‘You... you really did it?’ English says his shaking may be excitement; German marvels that you really did it.
JA ほ、本当に……[name]が、「裏の章」が与える試練を、突破した……！？ ‘R-really... [name] got through the trial set by the "Hidden Chapter"...!?’ English says his shaking may be excitement; Japanese marvels that you really got through the trial.

Cocobuki

Do you see now, my brothers? With the primal energies of thaumaturgy at your command, there is no threat which you cannot overcome!

Cocobani

Perhaps there is a chance to save Cocobusi! I need to reconsider some of my strategies.

FR Nous aussi, nous voulons sauver notre petit frère, et nous sommes prêts à terrasser n'importe quel ennemi si c'est nécessaire ! ‘You're right, Cocobuki. We too want to save our little brother, and we are ready to strike down any enemy if necessary!’ English tentatively plans to reconsider strategies; French vows readiness to strike down any enemy.
DE Wir werden dieser Nichtsgesandten eine Lektion erteilen, die sie niemals vergisst. ‘We will teach this voidsent a lesson she will never forget!’ English tentatively plans to reconsider strategies; German vows to teach the voidsent an unforgettable lesson.
JA 呪術を使って、強敵に勝ちてぇ！ ‘I want to use thaumaturgy and beat strong foes!’ English tentatively plans to reconsider strategies; Japanese declares a wish to beat strong foes with thaumaturgy.

Cocobezi

It seems we have been wasting our potential. I would never have believed it possible for a mage to show such courage and live...

DE Wir waren anscheinend nicht nur feige, sondern auch unreif. ‘We were apparently not only cowardly, but also immature.’ English says they wasted their potential; German says they were not only cowardly but immature.
JA 我々は臆病なだけではなく、未熟だったようだ。 ‘It seems we were not merely cowardly, but immature.’ English says they wasted their potential; Japanese says they were not only cowardly but immature.

Cocoboha

What a wonder [name] was. I feel my fingers itching to fling fire with a fury!

Cocobuki

Hm hm hm... Imagine, my siblings, what towering enemies you might topple should you stand firm...together.

Thank you, [name]. Your inspiring display of magecraft has set the minds of my brothers reeling with new possibilities. Let us now return to the guild and discuss what is to come.

What a formidable team you all shall make... Cocobygo. Cocobani. Cocobezi. Cocoboha. [name]. Even Mormo must wither before the onslaught of your combined thaumaturgy.

But before we engage the voidsent, perhaps some time is needed for my brothers to unlearn their ingrained inclinations. Meanwhile, I suggest you hurl yourself into the chasm of your studies.

Your fearless thaumaturgy is as a beacon to us all.

I think you shall find the opening pages quite enlightening. Ah, there is no greater reward for a scholar than to have one's work appreciated!

Cocobuki

Pray hand over the Book of Mormo to Cocobygo─I shall be along momentarily.

While I do so adore our field expeditions, it is nice to have a respite from the blowing sand and roving brigands from time to time.

DE Ich wünschte, wir könnten sie an der Sonnenküste verbringen und müssten nicht in diesem staubigen Camp ausharren. ‘I wish we could spend them on the Sun Coast and didn't have to hold out in this dusty camp.’ English enjoys a break from blowing sand and brigands; German wishes they could spend it on the Sun Coast instead.

Pray read those passages carefully─one never knows when one may need to bind some murderous threat of otherworldly origin!
