Tempo Town Trouble is a Short level 25 quest starting in Nemract but mostly taking place around Time Valley.
Preview[]
Tyko in Nemract asks the player to head over to Tempo Town near Time Valley and help the town deal with a strange creature that has been attacking it.
Stage 1[]
» Talk to Tyko at [87, 39, -2199]
Dialogue:
- Tyko: Hey, excuse me! I'm in need of- ...yeah, just walk right by me. Maybe I shoulda gone to Detlas for help, these people here have enough problems...
- Tyko: Don't suppose you'd be willing to help, huh? Bet you're busy- Wait, you've got spare time? Criminy, only took a week of asking! Good to meet ya.
- Tyko: Alright, My name is Tyko, and I got asked to find a capable soldier for- well, lemme explain. So, I'm from a place called Tempo Town, by Time Valley. It's a recent establishment.
- Tyko: I'm buddies with the mayor- he set up Tempo Town as kind of a homeless shelter for people whose homes got ruined by corrupted attacks, since Time Valley doesn't seem corrupted.
- Tyko: Some old guy with jaundice or something swings by, some kind of keeper- Says to set up on a ridge overlooking a lake. So, we did! Everything was going well for a bit.
- Tyko: And then some freaky time monster starts showing up in the middle of the night and tries to bust down our doors! We were told that ridge was safe, but that was clearly a lie.
- Tyko: So, that's why I'm here. No one at Tempo Town is tough enough to kill that thing, so I ran over here to ask for some backup. Glad I ran into ya!
- Tyko: Lemme write down the coordinates for ya in your book. I'm gonna stick around and see if anyone else feels like helping.
Stage 2[]
» Go to Tempo Town at [-298, 43, -1147]
Dialogue:
- Homeless Mayor: Hello- Welcome to Tempo Town, friend! Established only two months ago, I'm proud to provide aid to those displaced by corrupted raids.
- Homeless Mayor: Come to think of it, you look like a Ragni representative... Can I bother you to deliver some paperwork to the castle about getting officially established here?
- If you went to Tyko:
- Homeless Mayor: ...Repeat that? ...OH! Oh, no wonder you- Agh, my mind's all over the place from stress, I'm so relieved he found help finally!
- Homeless Mayor: Alright, Tyko told you about the monster, right? We were told by that old man Martyn to settle on this ridge because there weren't any dangerous creatures here!
- If you didn't go to Tyko:
- Homeless Mayor: Oh, not that kind of soldier? That's too bad... But- oh, this is a shot in the dark, but... maybe you'd be the type of soldier to take out a monster for us?
- Homeless Mayor: You- you would!? Oh, thank goodness you arrived when you did! You see- we were told by that old man Martyn to settle on this ridge because there apparently weren't any dangerous creatures here!
- If you went to Tyko:
- Homeless Mayor: But every night, the same monster emerges from one of the ruins, and tries to smash the buildings down! Every single night, at the same time!
- Homeless Mayor: The guards are getting run ragged, and I refuse to be responsible for any deaths when I'm trying to save these folks!
- Homeless Mayor: We found the ruin it came out of, too- Er, one of the folks here, Doug, did! Here, let me write down the location for you- no, no, I insist, let me do it!
- Homeless Mayor: There's the coordinates in case you forget, but it's in the temple just up the hill! Please, please hurry and take care of that horrible monster!
Stage 3[]
» Investigate the ruin at [-308, 71, -1231]
Dialogue:
- Scout: Grr... I KNOW I saw that beast go in here, where the heck is it?!?!
- Scout: Hey soldier, does that disk look like some type of door to you?
- Scout: I saw some creature that I've been tracking for a few days disappear around here, and I think it's somewhere behind this disk...
- Scout: But... There's probably some kind of wacky magic keeping it shut, since I can't get it open at all!
- Scout: Hey, you're able to use magic, right? Maybe using one of your fancy spells on the disk will get it open?
- Scout: Stand on the disk and cast any spell. That should probably get it open, then we can finally kill that freak of nature lurking inside of there!
Stage 4[]
» Use spells to break open the temple at [-308, 71, -1231]
Stand in or near the center of the temple, with the clay altar, and cast any 3 spells to open it. Then, you can enter, and go through the cave to defeat the beast.

Dialogue:
- Old Man Martyn: What was going through your noggin, <playername>?
- Old Man Martyn: Do you have any idea what you were doing? Bashing around that room I just sealed off for good?
- Old Man Martyn: You need to be careful, soldier! This Valley's secrets are NOT to be meddled with.
- Old Man Martyn: I assume the mayor of that place called Tempo Town sent you here. You are going to have to tell that lad that his problems just got worse.
- Old Man Martyn: The monster you killed was known as a Time Trouble. They're odd creatures that were forced into a day-long temporal loop by some fools long ago.
- Old Man Martyn: The only way to keep them at bay effectively is to seal them, like I just did here. But now, that stunt you just pulled sent ripples across the entire Valley. Now, every single Time Trouble is responding to this one's termination!
- Old Man Martyn: Now, one Time Trouble I can handle, but this? I can't keep them all at bay... and now, you went and awakened every single one of those critters.
- Old Man Martyn: I can fix this seal, so you'll have one less to deal with, but the rest of the Troubles will have to be taken down daily with brute force.
- Old Man Martyn: You're going to have to deal with those, soldier. I have far too much to take care of in this valley.
- Old Man Martyn: They'll have to be exterminated every single day. Now, I'm sure the work won't be thankless, perhaps you'll be rewarded by the townsfolk of Tempo Town for taking care of them.
- Old Man Martyn: Now please, be careful in the Valley. I already have to look after one person, nevermind the mess of time that the Olm were so-
- Old Man Martyn: ...I digress, I'm just rambling again. Now, let me bring us back outside this temple, and you should head back to that shanty town.
Stage 5[]
» Report back to the mayor in Tempo Town at [-298, 43, -1147]
- Homeless Mayor: You're back! I heard some kind of weird chime coming from the temple on the hill- is that a good sign?
- Homeless Mayor: You did?! Oh, thank goodness... Honestly, Martyn told us he would deal with it, but then he just disappeared off into nowhere!
- Homeless Mayor: Oh, he actually showed his face after you took care of that thing? What, did you beat him to the punch or something?
- Homeless Mayor: Wait... What? He was... trying to seal the thing away, instead of killing it, and... you destroying it broke the seal?
- Homeless Mayor: And now there's more of them? Why didn't he just tell us?! Now they'll need to be stopped every day to keep them in check!!
- Homeless Mayor: Gah, this is a disaster... It isn't your fault, you didn't know- Wait, what's that boxy thing you have? A [Time Fragment] ? ...oh, so the monster dropped it.
- Homeless Mayor: Interesting... One of the townsfolk likes to collect those sorts of things! He's that Mysterious Merchant just behind me.
- Homeless Mayor: Go talk with him about those! He might give you something worth your while if you trade them with him.
- Homeless Mayor: ...also, while you were away, that strange magic stone up on the hill started glowing. We're not sure what to do with it, really! Might be worth your attention.
- Homeless Mayor: ...though, this is a bit awkward- I don't have a reward ready for you. Making this place took a lot of money... Hopefully gratitude is enough- thank you, sincerely!
Trivia[]
- This quest was minorly improved in the 2.0.3 update in which you can now start the quest by talking to the Homeless Mayor instead of Tyko and including a fast-travel as a reward.
