Hold up there! I have to tell you something about Kromede's Tear!

It's a pretty necklace, and very useful, but the materials I made it with give it even more purpose.

It actually has a special connection with none other than Kromede!

Player: "What's this have to do with me?"

Well, if you obtain a weapon known as the Greatsword of the Judge, it can be fused with Kromede's Tear to increase its power.

Since you have Kromede's Tear already, you'd only need to get the Greatsword of the Judge. Interested?

Player: Accept.

Excellent! I'm looking forward to this. The process is really complicated, but I know I can perform it flawlessly.

As for the Greatsword of the Judge, well, as you'd expect from the name, Kromede the Corrupt has it. Yes, the real Kromede.

She's hiding in the Fire Temple in Morheim. She won't wield it against you, but she's still strong nonetheless.

Player: "Yes, I've seen her strength myself."

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.

But that's neither here nor there. Especially if you got me the Greatsword of the Judge.

Player: "See for yourself."

Do you know how solid the Greatsword of the Judge is? It'd take a real sharding moron to mess it up.

Kromede's Tear is a different matter, but it's irrelevant. I'm the best there is. Just ask the Daevas of Flame.

Trust me on this, and double-up your efforts to get the Greatsword of the Judge, then make sure it's sitting pretty in your Cube, along with the Tears. The results will be worth it.

Player: "If you say so."

Ah, perfect! Now, this is the hard part.... Hah! Ugh!

Whew. The Greatsword of the Judge is solid. That's great for battle, but it did make the process harder.

Still, take a look at the results. I think they speak for themselves.
