Tips and Misc

    • You can try again on failure
  • Though the streets of Wheloon appear at first to be a bit of a maze, they're really rather linear.
  • At the end of the quest, you can read the Mysterious Note
    on the table during or after Teralyn's fight.
  • It appears this is yet another quest where killing the boss too quickly can prevent completion.
