Wait, Player. About Kromede's Tear....

Yes, it's a fine necklace, but because of its origin, there's a lot more you can do with it.

It has a special connection with a particular weapon wielded by Kromede.

Player: "What kind of connection?"

Well, if you get this weapon, the Sword of the Judge, I can fuse the necklace to it.

The result is a much more powerful weapon. It takes a talented blacksmith to do this, but I think I can do it.

All you need to do is get the Sword of the Judge. Interested?

Player: Accept.

Woo! This'll be a great way to prove my skills to the world. I won't let you down, I promise.

All you need to do is get the Sword of the Judge. Kromede the Corrupt herself still has it.

She's hiding out in Morheim's Fire Temple. I don't expect that she'll give the sword up easily, though.

Player: "This is an interesting situation...."

I hope you don't feel too bad. If what you told me is true, Kromede's been consumed by grief and hate.

If she was innocent before, she isn't anymore. She's a threat that needs to be dealt with.

Did you get the Sword of the Judge? I can go ahead and do the fusion, if that's the case.

Player: "Let's do it."

Could you not fight Kromede? Or are you afraid I'll mess up?

Remember, I need both Kromede's Tear and the weapon in your Cube when you come to me. Otherwise I won't be able to work.

No pressure here...just saying that if you put your belongings in my hands, I'll take good care of them. Promise.

Player: "I believe you."

Hah! Ho! Ooof! Man, this is one of the harder times I've had with a weapon. Just a sec.... There!

Well, it was a challenge...I'll say that. It might even have been a little difficult. But I pulled it off.

Here, try it for yourself. It's a little lighter now, isn't it? Be sure to tell your friends who did this excellent work, will ya?
