Dialogue:


 * Siegfried: Here, follow me onto the airship!
 * Siegfried: And away we go!
 * Siegfried: Impressed by my piloting skills? Dodging these islands isn’t a challenge at all for the mighty Siegfried!
 * Siegfried: I rode an airship much like this one when I saved Ahmsord from the dragon.
 * Siegfried: Right now we’re heading to a cave on the far east of the region.
 * Siegfried: We’ll have to navigate its treacherous corridors and defeat terrible beasts to get to the treasure at the end.
 * Siegfried: Why don’t you go get my map from the upper level of the airship, and we’ll get ready for our adventure.


 * Siegfried: How much lon- Oh, you brought the map!
 * Siegfried: We’ll need to use this map to navigate the dangerous cave we’re going to.

 * Siegfried: Here we are, the great Cave of Treasure-Hoarding Evil Creatures!

 * Siegfried: This cave is exceedingly dangerous, so make sure to follow my instructions.
 * Siegfried: I’ve got decades of experience bravely adventuring in these caves, so I know what I’m doing.
 * Siegfried: Onwards!  , stay right behind me!

Stage 8
» Follow Siegfried through the cave on the eastern edge of the Sky Islands at [1493, 104, -4805]

Dialogue:


 * Siegfried: You sure took your time getting here! No matter.
 * Siegfried: I adventure in caves such as these often to get rid of the evil beasts dwelling within.
 * Siegfried: If it wasn’t for me defeating them before they could even--
 * Siegfried: Woah, stop! This might look like a harmless decoration, but it’s a trap!
 * Siegfried: Stay behind me, I’ll open it with my magic spell. (translated: Gavellian) OPEN!
 * Siegfried: Aha! I’ll protect you from the guardian, you deal with the rat! Siegfried: Take THIS!
 * Siegfried: Ow- I mean, hah! That was easier than swatting a fly for the mighty Siegfried!
 * Siegfried: Seems like we’re done here! That must have been a very difficult fight for you.
 * Siegfried: The caves I adventure in are filled with terrifying beasts similar to those.
 * Siegfried: WAIT! Don’t move, that boulder is about to fall!
 * Siegfried: Wow, that was close! Of course, I saw that coming and had no risk at all.
 * Siegfried: You might say that we can’t go further, as it’s blocking our way. But I can fix that!
 * Siegfried: And no more boulder! Only one as powerful as I can do that.
 * Siegfried: All we must do now is cross a perilous bridge over the Endless Chasm.
 * Siegfried: Aa, why did- Woah, careful! It looks like the bridge fell.
 * Siegfried: But this is not such an obstacle as you might think, for I can, uh, jump over this chasm!
 * Siegfried: Here I go!
 * ???: WAIT!
 * Siegfried: The spell--
 * Siegfried: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Stage 9
» Jump after Siegfried into the pit at the end of the cave.

You should jump in after him.

Stage 10
» Find a way to wake Siegfried.

This should wake Siegfried.

Stage 11
Find a way deeper into the cave and lead Siegfried there with you.


 * Siegfried: AAAAAAGH!
 * Siegfried: Aaaaggggh my LEGS MY LEGS AAAGGH SO COLD!
 * Siegfried: SO COLD so PAINFUL…
 * Siegfried: Why couldn’t I THINK when I signed that STUPID CONTRACT that I’d end up here!?
 * Siegfried: …Well, this is it.
 * Siegfried: They aren’t gonna come rescue us, you know. We’re on our own.
 * Siegfried: Why are you so calm? DON’T YOU SEE?!
 * Siegfried: WE’RE ON OUR OWN! This is REAL now! No coming back after ‘dying’, no more obvious traps, no more Siegfried. If I die here, I DIE! No coming back!
 * Siegfried: I.. I can’t do this. We’ll just starve here, in this cave… where nobody will ever find our bodies.
 * Siegfried: Stop looking at me! You figure out how to get us out of here, I’m just a worthless actor! Tell me if you find anything, I- I need a moment alone.


 * Siegfried: You found something? Ok. I’ll… follow you then.
 * Siegfried: WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?! A- are you sure we should go into there?
 * Siegfried: MY ARM! IT HIT MY ARM!
 * Siegfried: … I think I can manage.. OW!

Stage 12
» Venture deeper into the cave with Siegfried.


 * Siegfried: You.. You got us out of there!
 * Siegfried: I didn’t think we’d ever find a way out of there…
 * Siegfried: … Well, I guess we should keep going. M- Maybe there’s a way out?
 * Siegfried: L- Look! There’s plants and light up ahead! A WAY OUT!
 * Siegfried: Come on, follow me!
 * Siegfried: AAAH!

Stage 13
» Rescue Siegfried from the trap OR leave him there.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Siegfried: W- What just happened?! I’m trapped in here!
 * Siegfried: … It’s… some sort of trap. I can feel the ground heating up!!
 * Siegfried: T-That was terrifying… Y-you saved my life. Thank you  … I wasn’t prepared for real danger like this.

Leave Siegfried
Dialogue:

''Siegfried has died in the cage. You'll have to find your way out yourself.''

Stage 14
» Rest before continuing through the cave.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Siegfried: …What? Houses, and a well? All the way down here?
 * Siegfried: It’s… empty. And the houses sure don’t look like anyone’s lived here for.. centuries.
 * Siegfried: OW! MY LEGS! And my arms, too! E- Everything hurts so much.. I need to sit down. I think I turned my arm the wrong way.
 * Siegfried: I’ll just.. rest here a bit. W- would you mind taking a look around for something we can eat? I can.. hardly move.

''There’s some small caves around here.. Maybe there’ll be something edible there?''

Sandwich:


 * Siegfried: … Was this a sandwich at some point?
 * Siegfried: It barely has any resemblance to one.
 * Siegfried: Well… I doubt there’s anything better around here. I- I’ll take it.
 * Siegfried: OW!! I think I broke my teeth! This is like eating stone!
 * Siegfried: … I th-ow-ink I’m ready to- ow- move on. Let’s get go-oow-ing.

Spider Egg:


 * Siegfried: ... Is this the food you found?
 * Siegfried: I guess it's... the best that could be found here. You say you cooked it yourself?
 * Siegfried: I'll give it a try, then. Doubt there's anything better around here.
 * Siegfried: These are... amazing!
 * Siegfried: Thank you, ! I feel much better. I can head deeper as soon as you're ready.

Leave Siegfried
''This area seems like a good place to rest before moving on. Siegfried would have been overjoyed to see this.''

Stage 15
» Venture deeper into the cave.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Siegfried: You know… my name is actually Gurix.
 * Gurix: Sound extremely Corkian, I know. They made me use Siegfried because it sounds less foreign, I suppose.
 * Gurix: AAAH! Get away!
 * Gurix: OW!  , I think this web is poisoned! Quick, get me out with one of your spells!
 * Gurix: Thank you  . I’ll.. I’ll follow you from now on. Clearly you’re more prepared than I am.

Stage 16
» Find your way through the spider burrows.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix:  ? I think that giant web there is being held up by the platforms on the walls.
 * Gurix: I think… Maybe you can cut them down? I’ll stay here, I think it’s the safest place. I’ll call for you if a spider webs me again.

''Those lines of silk from the big web are holding it up. If you cut all three, it might break.''


 * Gurix: You did it! The web fell!
 * Gurix: Let’s head onwards, I don’t want to deal with any more spiders.

Leave Siegfried
Maybe that web would fall if you cut the ones supporting it?

The Big Web has been cleared!

Stage 17
» Venture deeper into the cave.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix: Hey, wait up! Thanks for saving me there.
 * Gurix: Hm… I’ll bet you an emerald these tiles are trapped.
 * Gurix: What are these little green thingies?  , try right-clicking one and see what happens.
 * Gurix: Woah, I think the other tiles got activated when you disarmed that one!
 * Gurix: I think that tile’s disarmed! Let’s head onwards!
 * Gurix: Hmm.. I think I see how these work.
 * Gurix: So if I use this button…
 * Gurix: It disarms the tile! Here, I’ll disarm the next one!
 * Gurix: And now this one!
 * Gurix: AAH! That burns!
 * Gurix: Well.. I think I see now. It’s a bad idea to disarm one of the same type that you’re standing on.
 * Gurix: Well.. you try these out. Tell me when to follow you further.

Leave Siegfried
It seems like disarming that tile activated the other Launchers...

Stage 18
» Find a way across the chasm in the ancient temple.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix: … This temple is… Sort of fascinating, honestly.
 * Gurix: It feels similar to the ruins back above, but… Better, uh… better preserved. Maybe those faded over the millennia?
 * Gurix: … Hmm. Clearly there’s a path further in that direction.
 * Gurix:  , look! That could be a teleporter to the other side!
 * Gurix: It’s… surrounded by those tiles. I don’t think I’ll live if another hits me… Tell me when to follow you.


 * Gurix:  , I think I know what these are for! If we activate both at once, the teleporter might start up! I can stay at one, and activate it as soon as you activate the other.


 * Gurix: I’ve activated mine, let’s see if this works!
 * Beacon: Teleportation Activation Successful! Exit teleporter is now active.
 * Teleporter: Teleport Successful!

Leave Siegfried
''The tiles on the left seem to need multiple people... maybe you can use the ones on the right to get across?''


 * Beacon: Teleportation Activation Successful! Exit teleporter is now active.
 * Teleporter: Teleport Successful!

Stage 19
» Venture deeper into the cave.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix:  , it worked!
 * Gurix: I.. I honestly didn’t think the teleporter would still work. The ancient villagers’ magic must have been really powerful.
 * Gurix: .. Let’s keep going, then. I think I can see something up ahead.

Stage 20
» Find a way to escape through the skylight at the end of the cave.

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix: Another town? Or another part of the same one? I’m not sure..
 * Gurix: This one even seems to have a forge and a tailor.. It was a full, proper village!
 * Gurix: That.. is that sunlight?
 * Gurix:  , look! I can see the sky from here! M- maybe there’s a way to get up!
 * Gurix: I think.. what if we can this geyser somehow? It looks dormant, but I feel like we can activate it again.
 * Gurix: You take a look around, I’ll be resting a little. I don’t think I’ve ever walked this much in my life…


 * Gurix: Woah! The geyser’s active!
 * Gurix: W-Wait.. that’ll be quite a long fall after we get launched up. Can you try making some safety equipment, like a parachute or some really soft boots?


 * Gurix: You’ve already made something? Let me see.
 * Gurix: This looks… usable? It’s something, at least.
 * Gurix: Probably the best we’ll get down here. Are you sure you don’t need anything for yourself? No? Okay.
 * Gurix: I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when we get back. We’ve just saved the legacy of Siegfried!

Leave Siegfried
.. Is that sunlight at the other side of the cave? Maybe you can use this geyser to escape?

Stage 21
» Escape the cave!

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix: Woah! The parachute worked!

Stage 22
» ???

Rescue Siegfried
Dialogue:


 * Gurix: W-we made it? … , WE DID IT! WE’RE BACK! HAHAAA! I’M ALIVE!
 * Siegfried: Hello there! It is I, Siegfried, and I just stopped the threat that was this cave!
 * Siegfried: Hah, that’s a great costume you have there! Looks just like me!
 * Gurix: What? I- I’ve been REPLACED?
 * Siegfried: Hah, don’t mind the jokester over there. He does have an impressive costume though!
 * Siegfried: Look over there! Those must be fireworks to celebrate my victory!
 * Siegfried: Well, anyways! You had a really bad fall in that cave there. I carried you out myself, you must’ve had some wild hallucinations.
 * Siegfried: Even though it was your own mistake, I’ll return you the emeralds you spent on the scavenger hunt. What was it, [5 Liquified Emeralds]?
 * Siegfried: I must return to Ahmsord for the celebration now. Perhaps we will meet again at the next scavenger hunt!

Leave Siegfried

 * Siegfried: Hello there, human! It is I, Siegfried! You must have just missed how I expertly ended the threat of this monster-ridden cave!
 * Siegfried:  , I'm glad to see you managed to get out alive. That must have been quite a fall into the chasm.
 * Siegfried: Of course, I got out easily using my spells and great knowledge of caves! Well, I must be off now. Maybe we may meet again if you win the next scavenger hunt!
 * ???: As compensation for your unfortunate accident, Siegfried will return you the emeralds spent on purchasing scavenger hunt items.
 * ???: That should amount to... 5 Liquid Emeralds. We apologize for the difficulties you encountered during your adventure with Siegfried!

Tips

 * If you save the Mining Explosive either by leaving Siegfried to die or completing the parkour, it can be used to explode the wooden wall where the Stale Sandwich is. Behind will be a crate that rewards the player 10 Emerald Blocks.
 * You can craft Hard Leather Boots with Leather and another ingredient, although they are practically useless since they only give 40 HP to the wearer.
 * You can get a rusty pickaxe at the front of the cave. Later, you can break a bolder in the way of the portcullis chains, opening up the portcullis.

Trivia

 * Rescuing Siegfried will give the player Siegfried Agent's Key, which gives access to Siegfried's Grave, a hidden part of the Monument to Siegfried outside of Cinfras.
 * While the player is in the cave there is a villager near where Siegfried breaks the bolder and another who casts a spell. This, along with Siegfried's response to the map foreshadow the fact that Siegfried is an actor. This is also foreshadowed when Siegfried claims his navigating skills on the airship ride, but under him is another villager with the "pilot" title, meaning he wasn't navigating at all.
