10TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_00Widargelt remains in the depths of despair.
21TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_01Widargelt still needs time to process his recent defeat and the revelations about his past. But in spite of his own woes, he manages to show concern for his disciples, and asks that you speak with them and lift their spirits.
32TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_02You look in on D'zentsa and O'tchakha, who in turn express their concern for their master. Uncertain what to do, they decide to turn to the ever-insightful Erik. While they keep an eye on the despairing Widargelt, they bid you fetch the professor from Rhalgr's Reach, home of the Resistance, where he is making his inquiries.
43TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_03You find Erik just as he finishes asking Resistance soldiers about the mysterious Theobald. After sharing with you his findings, he agrees to accompany you back to Ala Gannha to have a stern word with Widargelt.
54TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_04Widargelt has largely come to terms with his defeat; rather, the revelation of his true identity as the nephew of the King of Ruin has made him question his fitness to revive the Fist of Rhalgr. Through a tale about his departed son, Erik teaches Widargelt that a man is defined not by his blood, but by the choices he makes. His vigor and purpose thus restored, Widargelt turns his attention to what must be done. He reveals his suspicion that Theobald is in fact someone known to him: a brother from the Temple of the Fist named Adri, whom he had long believed dead. If it comes to it, Widargelt stands ready to strike him down, and he asks that you train him and his disciples in the way of the pugilist, that they might defeat the Corpse Brigade. Make your way to the old training grounds and begin their training.
65TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_05Widargelt and his disciples prove eager students, and they quickly grasp the fundamentals of pugilism. As you train, a man named Hewerald arrives bearing the news that Erik has made a momentous discovery pertaining to Theobald. While your students continue their training, you decide to follow the messenger to East End, where the professor awaits.
76TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_06The meeting with Erik turns out to be a trap, and you are forced to defend yourself. As you gain the upper hand, however, the battle transforms into a hostage situation. Just when it seems you must surrender, Widargelt and his disciples come to the rescue, having used their newfound fighting skills to overwhelm the sentries posted around the forest.
87TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_07With the enemy thus routed, you may turn your attention to the liberated Erik.
98TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_08Erik is well considering his ordeal, and your friends set out for Ala Gannha. Join them back at the village and speak with Widargelt to learn of his plans.
109TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_SEQ_09Widargelt declares his intent to challenge Theobald and put an end to his tyrannical ambitions. As your brother monk prepares for the encounter, see to it that you hone your own fists and feet. ※The next monk quest will be available from Widargelt upon reaching level 70.

4948TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_001It's you again, sister.
5049TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_002My new pupils. They have lost faith in me. And so I have lost them.
5150TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_003But perhaps it is just as well. For I am unfit to teach. I am the mad king's kin. It would be an affront.
5251TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_004Forgive me... I should not burden you. But to you, I feel I can speak my heart. Reveal things I would not to others. Not even my closest disciples. Speaking of whom...
5352TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_005D'zentsa and O'tchakha. Their bodies may have healed. But their pride will yet be raw. They would be heartened for your visit.
5453TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_010Ah, Player. How good of you to come and see us.
5554TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_011Both Zentsa and I are well now, never you fear. 'Tis Master Widargelt that worries us. He will not soon recover from the emotional blow.
5655TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_012Given all that's happened, you can hardly blame him. <sigh> We were supposed to support Master, but in the end we were just dead weight...
5756TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_013Lessons have been suspended since the incident. Not that it matters, though─the villagers have ceased attending. It is a big setback to our mission, but the biggest setback of all is Master's melancholy.
5857TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_014Professor Erik would know what to do, I'd wager. Let's go and consult him. ...But, ugh, I don't want to leave Master by himself.
5958TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_015Nor do I. Player, might we trouble you to find the professor and bring him back?
6059TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_016I believe he took his investigation of the man named Theobald to the Resistance, at Rhalgr's Reach.
6160TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_020I have not the right to revive the Fist...
6261TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_025If only I was stronger, dammit!
6362TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_030Ah, Player, you come at a good time. I've just finished inquiring after our friend, His Aspiring Majesty Theobald, and you are doubtless eager to hear my findings. Ahem!
6463TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_031By all accounts, 'twas but recently that the man surfaced. None can quite say whence he came, but no sooner did he appear than he declared himself Theodoric's heir and proceeded to recruit people to his cause.
6564TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_032But the prevailing sentiment around the fellow is one of uncertainty. It should come as no surprise, but folk are not exactly keen on the Griffin's return. And lest we forget, few have fond memories of the King of Ruin's reign, nor do they have any reason to love his heir.
6665TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_033That is all. Now then, what brings you here?
6766TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_034Still sulking into his cyclas, you say? <sigh> Utterly hopeless...
6867TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_035Very well, I shall go and slap some sense into the fool. Come, Player.
6968TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_040This won't do. I need to get stronger, else I can't protect anyone. Else I can't protect...
7069TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_045Rain, hail, or shine, Master Widargelt has never skipped training. It must be a veritable storm inside.
7170TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_050Widargelt. A thrashing though it was, how long will you let a single defeat keep you down? As I hear it, you've been neglecting your training─haven't so much as lifted a finger. You would let all that muscle go to fat?
7271TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_051Defeat is painful. This is true. But I am no stranger to its sting. In time, the sensation fades. But this... It is no mere sensation. It is my very existence.
7372TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_052The man who destroyed the Fist of Rhalgr. His blood courses through my veins. That I should seek to revive the order... It is an affront to the dead. I have not the right.
7473TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_053...So that is the way of it. I will tell you a story. I once had a son. In many ways he took after me, and 'twas my hope that he would one day follow in my footsteps.
7574TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_054But the boy had grander dreams. Wanting to change the world, he took off and joined the Resistance. And then he died.
7675TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_055His unit was hopelessly surrounded by imperial forces. In order to save his comrades, he swept up a sack of explosives and─ ...But the details are irrelevant.
7776TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_056For long years I lived with regret. If only my son had walked the path of science, I lamented, he might still be here.
7877TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_057But eventually I came to a realization: it was his choice to make, and make it he did. He chose to be a soldier and died a hero. In acknowledging this, I was able to attain a semblance of peace.
7978TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_058We are defined not by our blood, Widargelt, but by our choices. So your uncle is the mad king. What of it? You are not him. You are you, by whatever name, and there is no limit to what path you may walk. That path may be fraught with hardship, but you mustn't give up.
8079TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_059Behold the soldiers of the Resistance. Even now, they fight tirelessly against the might of the Empire, ever ready to render up their lives for their cause.
8180TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_060Behold the soldiers of the Resistance. Even after their great victory, they continue their vigil, ever ready to render up their lives for their cause.
8281TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_061These men and women bear a great burden, one beneath which they could buckle at any moment. Yet they stand firm to the very last. I used to wonder, why do they not give up? My son taught me the answer: they believe that the moment you give up on something is the moment you lose it.
8382TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_062When first we met, you were hells-bent on retribution. Mule-headed though you were, you came to see the folly of your path. But there comes a time when a man must fight. For you, that time is now.
8483TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_100_062So find your inner mule, Widargelt, and fight. Fight for that which you believe in.
8584TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_063You are right, Professor. I see now what is truly important. Theobald desires absolute rule. If he has his way, the people will suffer. This cannot be borne. It flies in the face of the new Fist.
8685TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_064I would restore hope to the people. But to do this, I must transcend him. I will become stronger. And I will protect that which I hold dear.
8786TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_100_064Full glad am I to hear it. Suffice it to say I shall aid in whatever way I can.
8887TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_200_064Something else has been bothering me, Professor. About Theobald. His polearm techniques are distinct. I have seen them before. But when? Where?
8988TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_300_064'Twas a long time ago. When the Temple of the Fist still stood.
9089TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_400_064<gasp> No... It couldn't possibly be...Adri?
9190TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_500_064Who is this Adri?
9291TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_600_064A brother at the Temple of the Fist. And the closest thing I had to family. I had thought him dead. Slain when the temple was razed.
9392TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_700_064But now you believe that he may still be alive, and is the one who seeks to prevent your reviving the Fist of Rhalgr?
9493TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_Q2_000_000What will you say?
9594TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_A2_000_001Let us confront him and uncover the truth.
9695TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_A2_000_002If it comes to it, could you strike him down?
9796TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_800_065I looked upon Adri as a true brother. I do not wish for us to fight.
9897TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_900_065I looked upon Adri as a true brother. I do not wish for it to end that way.
9998TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_100_066But neither can I yield in my purpose. I seek to restore hope to the people. Adri seeks to deprive them of it. If we must stand opposed...
10099TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_200_066Then I stand ready to strike him down!
101100TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_065But remember, Adri is not alone. He has rallied the Corpse Brigade to his cause, and against them the Fist of Rhalgr is ineffectual. How do you intend to overcome this disadvantage?
102101TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_066If our fighting style will not serve, we will master another. One that is free and unshackled by form.
103102TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_067Player, I would ask a favor of you. All you learned as a pugilist, we would learn also. Will you teach us?
104103TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_Q1_000_000What will you say?
105104TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_A1_000_001Reckon you can keep up?
106105TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_A1_000_002It's going to be tough.
107106TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_068Give us your worst, sister! We will take it all in our stride!
108107TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_069If you are ready, I would begin at once. Let us train at Gyr Kehim. As the monks of old once did. I shall summon the girls. Pray meet us there.
109108TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_070Well, it would seem that the storm has blown over. With that, I shall return to Ul'dah to tend to a task of mine own. I trust you will see to the rest here.
110109TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_080Theobald leads the Corpse Brigade. Soldiers trained to suppress the Fist of Rhalgr. Against them, our style is ineffective.
111110TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_081If we are to triumph, we must broaden our horizons. And Player will help us.
112111TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_082Alright! Let's do it!
113112TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_083I shall give it my all!
114113TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_084You well know how we fight. Our strengths and our weaknesses. Tell us what we must improve. From the eyes of a pugilist.
115114TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_Q1_001What do they need to improve?

119118TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_085I see... Above all, a pugilist is swift. For each blow he receives, he delivers a dozen.
120119TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_086D'zentsa, O'tchakha! Our combinations must be seamless! Ten thousand Bootshines!
121120TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_087I see... Beside the pugilist, we want for endurance. No number of blows must stop us.
122121TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_088D'zentsa, O'tchakha! Our endurance must be unyielding! Steel Peak ten thousand times!
123122TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_089I see... Beside the pugilist, we want for power. Every blow must be telling.
124123TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_090D'zentsa, O'tchakha! Our strikes must be harder than stone! Arm of the Destroyer for ten hours!
125124TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_091<pant> So this is how you trained... <pant> It is eye-opening...
126125TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_092But it is not enough. We must learn more. Or we cannot defeat the enemy. Please, Player! Teach us more!
127126TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_093So our speed is yet lacking? Very well.

135134TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_HEWERALD_000_100Nothing untoward, I assure you. He has made a momentous discovery pertaining to the man called Theobald.

137136TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_HEWERALD_200_100Ah, beg your pardons, but the professor bade me bring Mistress Player alone. He believes that you and the ladies should focus upon your training first and foremost.
138137TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_300_100I suppose he is right. Very well.
139138TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_101Go on, sister. You have taught us all we need to know. All that remains is to practice. Make it second nature.
140139TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_HEWERALD_000_102My thanks for your understanding. Then without further ado, please follow me.
141140TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_105No way I'm gettin' thrashed like that again. I'm gonna train harder than I've ever trained before!
142141TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_110It wouldn't do to always rely on you and Master Widargelt. Nay, we must grow strong and become able to fend for ourselves.

157156TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_132You were slow to return. So we followed. It was right that we did.
158157TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_133Thank Rhalgr we were not too late.
159158TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_HEWERALD_000_134You... How the hells did you get past the sentries?
160159TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_135We trampled right over them, how else?
161160TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_HEWERALD_000_136Damn it... Your ilk was supposed to be easy pickings...
162161TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_HEWERALD_000_137The day's yours, but it isn't over. Mark my words.
163162TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_139Worry not about us, sister. Go to the professor.

165164TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_200_139The training is arduous, but we will persevere─for Master Widargelt.
166165TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_140My thanks, Player. I was on my way back from Ul'dah when they set upon me, and none too gently, the bloody brutes.
167166TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_141I am sorry, Professor. It is my fault. You were put in danger because of me.
168167TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_142Haven't you learned anything, you dolt? I am part of this cause of my own volition. For better or worse, I alone bear responsibility for my actions. At any rate, I have done what I needed to do, and you may resume training safe in that knowledge.
169168TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_000_143Begging your pardons, but may I suggest we leave this place? The enemy may still be lurking nearby.
170169TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_ERIK_000_144The wisest thing said all day. Come, let us return to Ala Gannha.
171170TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_145We are stronger thanks to your teachings. Strong enough to face the Corpse Brigade.
172171TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_100_146We're still nowhere near your level, but I reckon we've improved some!
173172TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_OTCHAKHA_200_147<pant> From the training...to our rushing here...to the battle itself... <pant> It has been a day...of exertion...
174173TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_150I thank you again, Player. For your teachings. Owing to them, we could save the professor.

176175TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_WIDARGELT_000_152When he is recovered, I mean to challenge Theobald. For that day, I will train hard. And I will put an end to his tyrannical ambitions. Witness me, sister.
177176TEXT_JOBMNK680_02429_DZENTSA_000_155We got the better of the Corpse Brigade this time, and it's all thanks to you, Player. You and your...ungh...brutal training.
