Isis - Valley of the Kings

[Isis]
The head priestess of the Egyptian Royal family.
Valley of the Kings Quest
Location: Near Cairo

I've been waiting for you, Adventurer.
Thank you for coming all this way.
Like yourself, I receive revelations from the gods in my dreams...
I try to understand those dreams by following the teachings of the Sun God.
The enormous Valley of the Kings has some clues regarding [Atlantis] as well.
However, the recent problems that have plagued the world extend even here.
If you help me and my lord cleanse the land of these troubles, I will guide your path.
A certain papyrus document, which contains rituals to commune with the soul of an ancient king, has always been kept in the old shrine.
One day, it was stolen from us.
Following every clue we had, we found nothing.
I received a revelation that a [White Crocodile] nearby had swallowed the jar in which the document was kept.
~
Try to hunt down the [White Crocodile] among its brethren in the Nile.
If you are lucky, you will retrieve the [Papyrus Scroll].

Oh, you found it! Thank you for all your hard work.
I am deeply grateful.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

Hmm...
To break the seal which is on the scroll, we have to perform a very complicated ceremony.
~
I need Book: Holy Guard [II] x 1.
Please dear adventurer, you must get me the book.

Thank you for your efforts. Now, I will break the seal upon the book...
I brought the Papyrus out, but...
I can't read it the way it is.
The text is a mixture of ancient pictographs and letters I don't recognize.
It seems to be coded.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

I need a special magnifier to decode this.
I've heard there is a skillful technician far from here in China.
~
I believe his name is [Zang Heng]. From what I've heard, he should be able to make any piece of equipment we need.
Don't you think he could make the special magnifier for us?

The magnifier! Excellent.
You've done a great job.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

Thank you. This is quite a sophisticated magnifier.
The effort of this magnifier's maker is evident in the craftsmanship.
Oh, dear! I've looked at the whole sheet with the magnifier, but I can't decode a single word.
We need help.
~
You've probably seen a man around the pyramids. His name is [Seth]. Because he committed a heinous crime, he was exiled from this land.
However, we had to call him back because he was too valuable to us. He has a deep wealth of knowledge. I feel uneasy about getting help from [Seth], but I can't think of another way.
Take this document to Seth. It's a copy of the secret papyrus parchment.

Unfortunately, Seth still shows no signs of remorse for what he did.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

He was caught excavating the graves of ancient kings, and we reprieved him his death sentence just before execution.
We felt he would be too great a loss and released him, but...
Even if he tries to atone for his crimes of defiling the graves of the divine kings with his own death, his crimes will never be forgiven.
I am going to read the decoded document now.
'The body of a great ancient king is guarded by gatekeepers neither living nor dead, and the king's soul is guarded by Grim Reapers who lead great souls. The king's brain is guarded by Wise Guardians.'
Well! I need you to collect the body of the ancient king first.
In my opinion, 'the gatekeepers neither living nor dead' mentioned in the first paragraph refers to the mummies, which guard the first underground level of the Valley of the Kings.
To resurrect an ancient king's body, we need two ingredients. The ancient king's bones and blood.
If you pour the blood on the bones, the body of the ancient king will resurrect.
~
I want you to do this for me.
Among the mummies that guard the [Valley of the Kings 1B], [White Mummies] are the ones that guard the [Ancient King's Bones].
Kill the [White Mummies] and retrieve the [Ancient King's Bones].

Well done.
However, we can't resurrect the ancient king's body yet.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

Since you found the Ancient King's Bones, all we need is the blood, which we will pour on these sacred relics.
Even with these sacred bones in our possession, the ancient king's body will not return to life without the blood that once flowed through it.
~
Among the mummies that guard the [Valley of the Kings 1B], [Mummy Magicians] are the ones who protect the blood vials that eternally hold the king's magic.
If we have the ancient king's blood vials, we will be able to revive the sacred bones.
Defeat the [Mummy Magicians] and acquire [Ancient King's Blood].

Thank you very much for all your hard work.
Finally, we can resurrect the king's body.
Thanks to you.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

I sense a strange energy coming from you.
I am an oracle, too.
Can I take a look?
By the gods! This is the Mummy's Curse.
The Mummy's Curse must have been attached to the blood vials you brought.
All who have ever fallen prey to the Curse have died.
Except one person...
~
My. We've no choice but to ask for his help.
Nobody in the world knows more about this matter than he does.
He is the only one who could avoid the Mummy's Curse, and is still alive after excavating the graves of the kings.
I speak of none other than [Seth].
Ask [Seth] for help.

...

Why can't Seth reform himself?

My god! Is that what he said?
That's disgusting... Honestly...
On second thought, if that's all it takes to get you treated, I don't mind paying the price.
~
Here, take it. Please, take my pendant to Seth.
Please, hurry before the curse spreads throughout your body.

You came back.
I am so relieved that the curse seems to be broken.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

He is making a clay figure of me?
That's... unsettling.
I fear to think what he might be plotting now.
~
Ah, do you want to meet Pharaoh [Tutankhamun]?
The pharaoh wishes to meet you.

...

Why can't Seth reform himself?

Good heavens! Every one of his requests makes my hair stand on end...
Unfortunately, if that's the only way, I have no choice.
~
Here, take my spare priestess robes to him.
This should satisfy his request.

...

Why can't Seth reform himself?

You... Please help me.
I have no energy. It's as if someone placed an enchantment on me.
It feels like my soul is trying to escape my body.
Could it be Seth?
Ah... help...
~
Please, pay a visit to [Seth], and find out what he is up to.
It has to be him. No one else does things like this.

Strange. I feel a little bit better.
Whew, but I am very tired.

Why can't Seth reform himself?

Seth's soul has been sealed, has it?
Ah. That's why...
I am deeply grateful for what you've done for me and my country. You are the savior of my soul and Egypt.
~
You might want to pay a visit to [Tutankhamun] and listen to his story.
