Quotes

Spawn quotes

Come rain, or sleet, or horde of skale, nothing will stop the intrepid Shining Blade Courier. Well, maybe the skale...

Delivery man, delivery man, does whatever a courier can. Transports packages, any size. Brushes off Mantle, just like flies. Oh yeah, here comes the delivery man.

Greetings, <player name>, fancy meeting you out here. I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got an important delivery to make.

Idle quotes

Being a good courier isn't about being lucky, it's about being fast!

I bet I could train a rollerbeetle to deliver stuff for me.

If you want to be my disciple, you'll have to show me your moves first.

Only the courier that exceeds me has the right to become the next courier.

If you talk to him during battle

"Bring me your woes some other time, friend."

"Duty calls."

"Fight, damn it!"

"For the Chosen!"

"Help. A little help here."

"If you haven't noticed, I'm busy at the moment."

"Not now!"

"I feel death watching over me, more and more often I am alone. I see adventurers walking past me, they IGNORE me! They say that escorting me is not worth their time! I feel that one of these days the White Mantles will get me on my line of duty, and they will get me alone."

Notes

• When escorting Courier Falken, you will be ambushed by additional pop-up groups of White Mantle at points along the route. In Hard mode, the groups may also contain Jade Cloaks.
• If he appears in the zone, he will automatically start running to his destination, leaving you no choice but to escort him (or leave him to die).
• Regardless of his survival, White Mantle pop-ups on his scheduled route will spawn (and must be Vanquished, as with other event-related foes in other areas).
• In normal mode, escorting Courier Falken through North Kryta Province takes about eight minutes.
• This quest-like-event is repeatable but Courier Falken will not spawn in every instance.

Trivia

• His name, the name of his special skill (Falken Punch), and some of his dialogue are references to Captain Falcon of the video games F-Zero and Super Smash Bros.
• The quote "Are You Okay?" could be a reference to Terry Bogard from the Fatal Fury series or to Talim from the Soul series.
• The spawning quote that begins, "Delivery man, delivery man..." is a parody of the Spider-Man theme song.
• The quote "A courier's passion... is burning red!" is a reference to Mobile Fighter G Gundam's quote "This hand of mine is burning red!"
