Accepting the quest
Hihira
Friend, hear my plea. As you have no doubt observed, many poor souls in this camp suffer from afflictions most grievous. Indeed, it is to deliver them succor that I have made the journey here from Ul'dah.
And yet, I fear that my efforts thus far have been for naught. The residents are most distrustful of outsiders─particularly those hailing from Ul'dah. They look upon my medicine as if it were poison.
- DE Vielleicht gewöhnen sie sich ja langsam an unsere Gesellschaft. ‘Maybe they'll slowly get used to our company.’ English says they treat her medicine as poison; German hopes they will slowly get used to the two outsiders.
Were an adventurer such as yourself to deliver the elixir, perhaps they would be willing to accept it. I have no one else to turn to. Will you go in my stead?
Deliver Hihira's medicine to the suffering refugees.
Berold
Me throat... It burns!
Medicine, ye say? Bah! I'd sooner drink sandworm piss than that Ul'dahn swill!
- DE Behalte dein ul'dhisches Gift ... für dich ... ‘Keep your Ul'dahn poison ... to yourself ...’ English says he would sooner drink sandworm piss; German just tells the player to keep the Ul'dahn poison.
- JA ……そんなもん飲めるかよ……痛てて。 ‘...As if I could drink stuff like that... ow.’ English says he would sooner drink sandworm piss; Japanese just says he cannot drink such stuff.
Otelin
Hurgh... I can't...b-breathe...
Hah! Another phony elixir cooked up by those......Ul'dahn quacks? Begone from my sight!
Arcavius
What is it, outsider? Come to mock us in our suffering? Go ahead and laugh. Laugh to your heart's content.
That's what I think of you outsiders and your medicine. I'd rather die with dignity than owe my life to Ul'dah.
- DE Ich werd dir ganz sicher nicht den Gefallen tun, dein Gewissen zu beruhigen. ‘I'm certainly not going to do you the favor of easing your conscience.’ English prefers a dignified death to owing his life to Ul'dah; German refuses to ease the player's conscience.
Report to Hihira.
Hihira
No luck, I see. Take heart, friend─you did what you could. Age-old wounds are not healed so easily, but I must not give up this cause.
