Wait! Wait! I think we can try to extract the hatred now!

See, the Balaur device is clearly powerful enough already, and doesn't require any augmentations from our engineering team! While this is great news for us, we should be worried that Balaur technology has advanced so far so quickly.

Here, take the Grave Curse Dagger and place it near the Remodeled Reverse Field Control Device. It should start extracting the essence into the glass vial that I've already prepared. If everything goes well, take the vial to Garnon.

Player: Accept.

(The Malefic Dagger is in your possession again, and is already tugging at the fibers of your morality.)

(You want to let go. You want to give in. You want to embrace the hatred and let it take you... but you can't! It's now or never... you have to activate the device and drain the energy.)

Player: "Here we go!"

Ah, Player! What brings you here?

News from Tiamat Stronghold, I assume? Speak now.

Player: "Actually..."

What?! You've harnessed Apsu's Hate?!

Why in Siel's name weren't the Elders informed that you were even attempting this stupid act? Do you realize the risks you took? Do you realize how many lives you endangered?!

Ulian will answer for this. You are an outsider, but he... he should have known better! This is unforgivable. I'll take that vial of yours and have the elders examine it, the group who should have had it in the first place. You are free to leave.
