Trapdoor dialogue

Before combat: Just need to figure out... why this isn't working... it's SUPPOSED to work... come on!
Combat start: Y-you! I see that look, you know what this artifact is! Stay away!
At 75% life: I didn't escape from Arachnos just to be beaten here, not by you!
At 50% life: I have the powers of an Incarnate! I won't be defeated!
At 25% life: H-hold on... please... please have mercy!

Trapdoor

Briefing

Please... just let me walk away! I didn't want any of this to happen, I just wanted to live a normal life!

Where is the artifact?

You see Trapdoor grasping the artifact, glaring at you.

You can't have it! Do you hear me?! This holds the key to untold power, power that I won't let fall into someone else's hands!

... you want mercy and then you say something like that?

I can't go back to my normal life, don't you understand?! I need this to continue forward, to make my mark, to fight for my old life back! I won't let you take away this chance from me, do you hear me?!

• I'll help you get your old life back. Just give me the artifact and you can begin.

You... you would do that? You're not just going to send me back to an Arachnos prison? Who could help me? Who would help me?

There are people out there who will help you. Trust me.

Trapdoor looks around suspiciously, then back to you.

... Alright. I'll give you the artifact. But mark my words, Character. If this is a trick... If no one will help me, I'll find you again!

Trapdoor extends his hand, holding the artifact in the palm of his hand.

(Take the artifact)

The form of the artifact shifts as it rests in your hand for a few minutes before forming into a mirror. It is big enough that you can just see your face within it.

The form of the artifact shifts as it rests in your hand for a few minutes before forming into a magic symbol, solid in your palm.

The form of the artifact shifts as it rests in your hand for a few minutes before forming into a replica DNA strand, solid in your palm.

The form of the artifact shifts as it rests in your hand for a few minutes before forming into a solid piece of paper riddled with numerous equations and formulas.

The form of the artifact shifts as it rests in your hand for a few minutes before forming into a schematic for some sort of device, though you're not sure what exactly this device is.

	Redeemed Trapdoor
	You chose to help Trapdoor redeem himself. He trusted enough in you to hand over the Incarnate artifact that was in his possession.

Leave

• I don't have time for this. I'm taking this artifact, even if it's at the cost of your life!

Trapdoor prepares to fight you again, though it's obvious that he's in no shape to pose a challenge to you anymore.

(Finish off Trapdoor and take the artifact.)

Leave

Upon death: W-why...?
