Dialogue

"Varesh's crusade west through the Desolation has weakened the barrier between our world and the nightmare realm. Already, many suffer terrible nightmares as Abaddon takes advantage of their fears and secrets. It is true. Nightfall is at hand. No doubt they will try to overtake the Grand Forum of Vabb, and with the Kodash Bazaar. I have been instructed to use the Djinn of Ahdashim to protect the keys area. Go with Koss and Melonni to speak with Butoh the Bold. Tell him the djinn will help protect things. He is a great fighter and will know how to best use them in battle. Will you help us one more time, hero?"

Accept: "Without a doubt."

Reject: "I'm sure Vabbi is safe."

When asked about quest: "Butoh the Bold is in Forum Highlands, just outside the Kodash Bazaar.

Intermediate Dialogue 1 (Butoh the Bold)...

"Ah, great heroes indeed. These djinn that Zerai sent will come in handy. I have stationed them at the edges of the forum. I fear an attack will come too soon. Serveral merchants suffering from terrible nightmares have already fled. I fear they will serve as conduits for Abaddon's forces."

Intermediate Dialogue

Butoh the Bold: "Here they come!"

Butoh the Bold: "Lyssa protect us!"

Butoh the Bold: "Get behind the Djinn!"

Butoh the Bold: "They're everywhere!"

Intermediate Dialogue 2 (Butoh the Bold)...

"Zerai and Mehtu the Wise have indeed saved the day; as have all of you. It seems you now have to make a choice. Before you do, speak with Zerai. He will see that you are amply rewarded for your courage. I have not seen a fight like that since Ahmtur the Mighty last cleared the halls of Ahdashim. May Lyssa protect us from Nightfall."

Reward Dialogue

"Please take this as thanks. I fear this is only the beginning. The Garden of Seborhin has fallen and Ronjok may be in peril. It seems you must now make a choice, hero."

Tips

• Don't wait in the center for the margonites to come. Instead, have everyone stand at the first spawn site while someone talks to Butoh the Bold.
• This fight is much easier if you use the paragon skills Anthem of Flame and "They're on Fire!". Because the djinns will spam burning skills as well you will get the damage reduction bonus almost continually.
• If you can, heal the djinn during the fight. They are valuable teammates.
• Do not worry if your party dies. You will be resurrected and you can continue the fight.

Notes

• Once you finish this quest, the Garden of Seborhin will transform into the Nightfallen Garden (whether or not you accept the quest). This means that any quests that require you to enter the Garden of Seborhin will not be available and cannot be completed until you complete the game (and it transforms back)
• Butoh the Bold won't be present if someone in the party has Norgu's Nightfall. These two quests start in the same spot and interfere with each other.
