Dollface's Devices

Briefing

You are required to submit yourself before Dollface and endure her 'dastardly' scheme. So far you have managed to foil Zephyr's foolish plan, which isn't saying much. I am unaware of what her plan will entail, but I doubt it's pleasant.

  • I'll handle Dollface like I did Zephyr.

You would do well to know that your arrogance, no matter how far it has brought you thus far, will likely be the cause of your ultimate failure. Dollface has been given special privileges by our patron, so do not be surprised if there is more than meets the eye in her personal plan. Now go. She awaits you.

Talk to Dollface

Unnecessary Solicitation

Dollface is still waiting for you. Failing to submit to her test will result in your forfeiture in the tournament.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Dollface

Briefing

You may think you were soooooo smart to blow up those Longbows, but I'll have you know that I'm as smart as I am cute!

We're going to have some fun with getting you in trouble with the police! Yup! I'm calling the cops on you!

  • I'm playing the 'hero', Dollface. Cops don't arrest heroes.

Yeah, that's what you think, huh? Well, Mr. Smartypants, what if they think you're a bad man, huh? Then you're going to go to JAIL!

  • What're you gonna do, mind-control them?

HEY! WHO TOLD YOU!? Did that silly doctor tell you!?

Great. My plan is so ruined now. I spent all that time putting a mental time-bomb in your head, and for what? For you to go ahead and ruin it? THANKS A LOT, Character.

  • Wait, what?! What do you mean 'mental' time-bomb!?

The thing that's going to make your brain blow up in the next hour. Or was it day? I'm so upset with you I don't even remember anymore!

You were SUPPOSED to go fight some Arachnos guys to get the deactivator safety-word and then bring it to Dean Yu at the University so he could remove the mental bomb, but you screwed it all up!

  • So I need to get this 'word' to John Yu?

Yeah, but I wasn't going to tell you that Dean Yu could fix it, because then you could fix the bomb. You were supposed to fight Arachnos guys then get put in jail forever.

Whatever. I don't like playing with you, Character. You ruin everything!

  • Arachnos agents then Dean Yu. Got it.
Defeat an Arachnos Patrol in Port Oakes

Unnecessary Solicitation

Well, well. It would seem that you have very time-sensitive matter, Character. Perhaps you may want to take care of that, hm?

Mission Objective(s)

  • Defeat an Arachnos Patrol in Port Oakes!
    • Defeat 3 Arachnos agents.

You found the code phrase on the last agent. He had a very far-away, glazed look in his eyes which tells you this was the one Dollface had beguiled.

Travel to Cap au Diable via Ferry

Unnecessary Solicitation

Well, well. It would seem that you have very time-sensitive matter, Character. Perhaps you may want to take care of that, hm?

Mission Objective(s)

  • Travel to Cap au Diable via Ferry
    • Go to the University in Cap au Diable

You've made it to the Ferry station. It doesn't look like you have much time left. You had better get to that University pronto!

Talk to Dean Yu at the University

Unnecessary Solicitation'

Well, well. It would seem that you have very time-sensitive matter, Character. Perhaps you may want to take care of that, hm?

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Dean Yu at the University

Briefing

What is the meaning of this? If I plan on receiving the grant money from these inventions people are putting together, I'm going to need to publish these papers in prestigious journals before they do.

I would hope the reason you're bothering me is far more important than that.

  • I've got a mental time-bomb in my head!

Mental time-bomb? I've seen a number of people here invent all manner of devices from the salvage they've acquired through fighting the scum that litters the streets, but I've never heard of a 'mental time-bomb' before.

  • I have the deactivation phrase right here!

Deactivation phrase? What on earth are you blabbering on about? Let me see this.

John Yu looks at the paper, a smile curling around the edges of his mouth, then looks very stone-faced a moment later.

Well, this is very serious, indeed. This phrase - 'ego sum res fraudatio' - definitely has the ability to remove the common, every day mental time-bomb. You see, it's Neo-Latin for - 'Better than a faker.' This was the old way of saying - 'Haters gotta hate'.

However, this will not help with a mental time-bomb in the head of one of you super-powered types. No, no, you'll need more than that.

  • Hurry! My head could blow at any moment!

In order for you to deactivate it, you will need to think of the phrase - 'ego sum res fraudatio' - whilst you dispatch a good number of Luddites that have been making my job very difficult as of late.

Oh! And, of course, they've been interfering with mental deactivationizing... I think I heard a group down south in the Devil's Coat Tails talking about just that!

So, go knock around a number of those Luddites and you should be right as rain.

  • Whew! Thanks! I might actually live another day!
Dispatch Luddites in the Devil's Coat Tail Neighborhood

Unnecessary Solicitation

Well, well. It would seem that you have very time-sensitive matter, Character. Perhaps you may want to take care of that, hm?

Mission Objective(s)

  • Dispatch Luddites in the Devil's Coat Tail Neighborhood
    • Defeat 10 Luddites

You have done away with the number of Luddites needed to turn off the mental time-bomb. It looks like you're finally safe.

Debriefing

Congratulations on your stunning victory over Dollface's heinous plan. I was quite worried that your head was going to blow up at any moment, possibly causing an explosion rivaling that of your ego.

The pride you've earned for beating her at her own tricks, is well, stupendous indeed.
