CHAPTER 01

The Cave with the Treasure

MOANIIMO noteIn front of a cave where Nicole detected an energy reading, Nicole talks with an Eko through Twine.

Game text

My scan picked up an energy signal inside a cave, so I’m going in to investigate. The problem is, an Eko won’t let me pass.
Dialogue · Speaker: Nicole
Not allowed! You're not allowed to enter our cave!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
Because! The treasure is in the cave! It'll be taken! If it's taken, boss will be angry!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
That's right! Our treasure! Shiny! So amazing! The most amazing!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
Yes! Our cave! With treasures! With the boss! With Eko! An amazing place!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
This is the boss's territory! If outsiders come, they must be defeated!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
What nest! This is my territory! I know it, you're here to challenge the boss and take the treasure!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
Enemy bat! Take this!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
Whoa, Boss—Boss, help!!
Dialogue · Speaker: Eko
No wonder... I was thinking before, could this be its nest? But its reaction is completely different from nest protection, and the data also indicates there's something hidden inside.
Dialogue · Speaker: Nicole
Thanks to your Twine, we can communicate clearly with them. I see, unlike nests used for living and breeding, Eko will additionally occupy caves.
Dialogue · Speaker: Nicole
Used to store what they call their "treasures." And they guard these caves as if they were their own territory...
Dialogue · Speaker: Nicole
...Alright, Aniimo behavior log complete! Now then, next up—what will Eko's "treasure" be?
Dialogue · Speaker: Nicole
