How strange... The coordinates match perfectly, but I still can't find it...

Ugh, I'm so close to the final step... I can't give up now!

*Gasp* You scared me!

Wait, I know you! You're the Endministrator of Endfield!

My name's Bao, and I'm a Tianshi. I'm not here to steal anything...

Bao

Actually, I'm searching for a treasure left by my grandpa!

*Sigh* Yeah, I'm stuck at the very last step.

This place was a temporary depot set up by HAS when the Tianshi first arrived. It's called Tianjing Courtyard. My grandpa used to work here.

And with his dying breath, he told me a secret ... that he left a precious treasure here!

So I followed his treasure map all the way to this very spot...

Now I'm at the last marker, but all I see is this huge pond!

What? How did I not think of that... Thanks for the enlightenment!

The depot was most likely built underground. But over the years, it got flooded and ended up as nothing but a waste of a pond?

But now here's another problem ... I've never learned how to hold my breath underwater. How am I supposed to dive into this pond?

Whoa! That's gonna save me big time!

Endministrator, since you're so awesome ... whatever the treasure turns out to be, I promise a big reward!

My grandpa said the longer it sits, the more valuable it gets! I'm betting it's some kind of fancy antique. Maybe I'll be rich soon!

Your choice

What's troubling you?

What shady business are you up to?

A treasure?

Looks like you haven't found it yet.

The answer might be right under your nose.

Maybe it's under the pond?

Endfield's trusty Fluid Pump can help you.

I'll help you drain the pond dry.

Deal!

Let's get that pond drained first!

So, Endmin, what's it say? Any actual treasure?

Du Qusheng is my grandpa!

Okay... I get what he meant by "the longer it sits, the more valuable it gets"... I was really hoping for some priceless gem!

Fair enough... Grandpa loved his brews, and he even taught me how to tell them apart back then...

I might not have gotten wealthy, but I did fulfill my dream of finding Grandpa's treasure!

Thank you, Endministrator.

Your choice

The treasure is likely a batch of old brew by Du Qusheng.

I'm sure the treasure's behind this gate! But how do we get it open...

Gotta be linked to these three mechanisms by the gate... Let me see what hints this treasure map's hiding...

Looks like we'll need three keys to activate these mechanisms.

Let's go find them, Endmin!

These three "keys" are scattered across the underground first, second, and third levels.

Aha! There it is!

I get it now! The keys we picked up earlier are used just for this!

Three mechanisms, three keys! They're scattered across the underground first, second, and third levels.

Let's find the remaining keys, Endmin!

Huh? Why isn't it working?

Could leftover moisture be messing with these mechanisms?

Endmin, let's wait for the water to drain completely and check again.
