- Atlantis Palace - Approach King Nautilus during the 'Return to King Nautilus' quest
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Just in time… The Trident is restored. A truly worthy instrument for the Sea God.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Is the Elder Sea Ogre no more?
Hero: Large Barge has been decommissioned, permanently.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Good…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Did you know that the Sea Ogres were part of the battle against the Sea God?
Hero: Can't say I did.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): There's likely lots about the battle you don't know…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): I'm sure you've heard tales of the Pirates defeating the Sea God with the aid of the Braken…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Or the Ninjas with the dragon Ryujin…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Well, they are both right and wrong…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): There was also a third faction who also waged war on the Sea God: the Water Elves.
Hero: The Water Elves fought too? Why?
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): They sought to bring down the Sea God with the help of the Sea Ogres…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): To free Atlantis from the so-called tyranny of its rightful rulers…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): My ancestors, the royal monarchy of Atlantis and loyal servants to the Sea God, Typhon!
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Ingrates… Vermin… They may have succeeded in toppling Typhon…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): But they failed to wrestle this city from my family's grasp!
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): And for generations, my ancestors put them in their place for their betrayal…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Molding the citizens' minds to make them forget their forefathers' rebellious ways and to fear those from the top-side…
Hero: So your ancestors indoctrinated the citizens into becoming blindly loyal? What kind of ruler does that?!
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): The kind these wretched creatures deserve.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): I am the last of my bloodline, which makes me the final hope to return Atlantis to its former glory…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): And enact revenge on all who opposed my ancestors and our Sea God, Typhon!!
Hero: You expect me to stand by and let you do that?
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): An annoying do-gooder like yourself? No… but I do expect you to suffer the same fate as your friends.
Hero: What?! What have you done?
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): I have sent Aquella and my guards to dispose of the Pirate and Ninja.
Aquella (Protector of Atlantis): Actually, my King. I chose to do no such thing.
Aquella (Protector of Atlantis): My Nana was right about you… I just need to hear it for myself.
Aquella (Protector of Atlantis): Don't worry, <Hero>. Your friends are safe and they'll be joining us soon to help dethrone this monarchy once and for all.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): I should have expected such treachery from the likes of you, Aquella.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Pirates… Ninjas,,, Water Elves… I will make you all suffer my family's wrath!
Hero: Yeah… um, no offense, King Nautilus, but you don't exactly strike me as a fearsome foe.
Aquella (Protector of Atlantis): <Hero>, don't…
Hero: I'm just saying. Compared to the other baddies I've fought, the King doesn't really seem to stack up.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): It's true. This body would not put up much of a fight…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): But thanks to you, that's no longer a concern.
Hero: Oh no. Did I goof again?
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Because of you, I have put the Trident back together, something I only could have dreamed of before you arrived…
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): And do you know what its true power is?
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): For some, it grants the wielder power comparable to the Sea God Typhon.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): But for my bloodline, the forgers of the very Trident, it grants us the privilege to offer our bodies as vessels for Typhon himself.
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): And thanks to the materials you gathered for me, I've made this body a worthy home for Typhon to be born anew!
Hero: Yep, I definitely goofed!
King Nautilus (King of Atlantis): Let Typhon strike you dead, <Hero>!
