Dialogue[edit]

Good to see you again. You've got the look of someone who comes to life when they soar high above the clouds. What can I do for you?

(Before finding the abandoned skyscale egg in A New Friend)

Where can I find a skyscale egg?

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Look around any of the islands here or in Amnytas. Skyscales tend to nest in out-of-the-way locations, so look for craggy nooks and solitary islands.

Thanks, I think I can take it from here.

(After finding the abandoned skyscale egg in A New Friend)

I found an abandoned skyscale egg.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: What's that you have? Ah, poor little one.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: You have found the egg abandoned, I assume? Let's take a look.

(If the player has not previously unlocked a skyscale through Living World Season 4)

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: You've never handled one before, have you? You're delicate with your posture.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: If you'd like, I can help you with hatching and raising the little darling.

(If the player already owns a skyscale)

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: You've raised one before. I can tell by your posture. Confident. You know how to handle a baby.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Unfortunately, I'm down a trainer. I could use an extra pair of hands hatching the child and preparing it for flight...

(both unlocked and locked a skyscale)

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: We're embarrassingly short on supplies here—just about everything is needed in Amnytas.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: I have a list of tasks—short, I promise. I'll give you the details. (unlocks Skyscale Egg Infusions, Skyscale Growing Comforts, and Skyscale Saddle Materials)

(After unlocking Skyscale Egg Infusions)

I need help with infusing the egg.

It's possible to provide the magical infusions with elemental enchantments, but they are very expensive. Gather materials for enchantments, or bring the egg to natural sources of power on the list.

Show me the enchantments.

Can you show me the list again?

Thanks, I'll take it from here.

Thanks, I think I can take it from here.

(After unlocking Skyscale Growing Comforts)

I need help with the food, treats, and toys.

I can help you prepare food. Trade it to me when you have enough. You'll have to do some hunting for the treats. For the toys, you'll need to buy them from merchants. Check for the list for details.

Let's talk skyscale food.

Can you show me the list again?

Let me get back to you.

(After completing Skyscale Egg Infusions)

I have infused the skyscale egg.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Outside of the Mists, the skyscales don't have the same elemental exposure.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: We need to do it ourselves to make sure they thrive. And this little one should be more than prepared.

(After gathering the Skyscale Growing Comforts)

I gathered the foods, treats, and toys.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Babies—human, charr, or skyscale—need to eat. And a skyscale hatchling needs even more.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Even in a moment of war, keeping the little ones fed should be one of our primary goals.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: How could we expect to navigate Amnytas—this landscape—without them?

(After unlocking Skyscale Saddle Materials)

I need help with the saddle materials.

Luckily, the local fractal islands have many of the resources you'll need. Search each island for the materials; some local provisioners may be able to help.

Can you show me the list again?

Let me get back to you.

(After gathering the Skyscale Saddle Materials)

I gathered the saddle materials.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Wonderful. This should be everything I need to craft a saddle—don't worry, I'm quite good with a needle.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Once the little one has filled out, it'll fit like a glove. Excellent work.

(Upon checking back on the Skyscale after turning in the food)

How is our friend doing?

(Before completing all previous steps of A New Friend or before finishing Flight Mastery)

The little one is still growing. They eat well and training is coming along. But you too must keep up with your training. Return when you've finished your Flight Mastery.

Aw, shucks.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Don't fret, you and your new companion are almost airbourne.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: A little more mastery of the art, and you'll be among the clouds. Keep practicing.

(Upon return after completing all of the previous steps of A New Friend)

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Belly...robust. Wings, strong. I think our friend is ready to take to the skies of Tyria.

(If the player has not previously unlocked a skyscale through Living World Season 4)

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Can you feel the pull? From hatchling to warrior, you two are bonded now. Take care of each other.

(If the player already owns a skyscale)

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Some Rift Hunter is going to be very, very lucky. You did well.

(After Arcane Osmogrifier has been unlocked)

What's your idea?

I need you to restore te arcane osmogrifier and channel the Heart of the Obscure's power through it into the skyscale. It's the last thing I can think of that might help.

What's an arcane osmogrifier?

It's a very old artifact, made long ago. I happened to read about it during... Never mind, not relevant. It used a unique approach to essence manipulation, and I think it could help us.

So where do I find it?

That's the hard part. You'll need to restore it. The original creator of the arcane osmogrifier destroyed it in a fit of pique. Shards of it can be found in arcane chests all over here and Amnytas.

Thanks, I think I can take it from here.

Thanks, I think I can take it from here.

(After Arcane Osmogrifier has been completed but before completing the A New Look collection)

I've restored the arcane osmogrifier!

Then what are you waiting for? Quickly! Use it on our sick friend before they worsen!

Thanks, I think I can take it from here.

Tell me more about skyscales and their abilities.

Skyscales are wonderful creatures! They're capable of providing so much for us, and we must give back all the love and respect they give us. What specifically do you want to know more about?

How does it fly? Can it hover?

With it's[sic] wings of course! Unlike most birds, skyscales can hold their position in midair for an unlimited amount of time, provided you're not wearing the poor thing out with elevation gain.

How high can it fly? (Same as "How high can it fly" below)

I have other questions.

Certainly. What else do you what to know more about? (Same as "Skyscales are wonderful creatures!" from previous)

That's all for now.

How high can it fly?

Skyscales wings get tired from too much elevation gain—after you've gained enough height, your skyscale will need to rest before being able to climb higher. There are exceptions to this, however!

What exceptions?

Your skyscale can digest certain magic throughout areas of the world that replenish its energy enough to gain height without needing rest. There's even some of that magic around us right now!

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

What does dashing forward accomplish?

Your bond with a skyscale allows them to dash forward on your command for a boost of speed. If you're brave enough, you can even dash through some objects in the sky—who knows what'll happen?

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

Can it cling to walls?

It sure can! Your skyscale can latch its claws into most of the walls around the world for a momentary break—and allow it to use some of its energy for a small boost upward when it lets go!

(if Wall Launch mastery is already trained)

My skyscale learned how to launch from walls while in Elona, though.

That's fantastic! I imagine as your bond continues to grow with your skyscale, its ability to launch from walls will grow even stronger.

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

How can it spit fireballs?

The Astral Ward worked hard to train our skyscales to combat threats from the air—which was no easy task, mind you. They charge up a fireball on your command, and then unleash it at your target!

How does it work?

Order your skyscale to charge and hold in a fireball. Then aim where you want that fireball to go. Let your skyscale know where to fire, and there you go! Hits targets in the sky and on the ground!

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

Are there any special ways to mount a skyscale?

From the start, you can mount on the ground. But as you grow your bond with your skyscale and expand your mastery of the skies, you'll be able to mount while in the air, or even in combat!

(if Air Rescue mastery is already trained)

My skyscale learned how to mount midair while in Elona, though.

That's fantastic! I imagine as your bond continues to grow with your skyscale, its ability to rescue you midair will grow even stronger.

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

Anything else I should know?

There are many abilities to learn as your bond with your skyscale grows, including the ability to ride updrafts of wind, or even into ley-lines, and more—the sky's the limit! Literally!

I have other questions.

That's all for now.

I think I've learned everything I need to know.

I'll check back later!

Starting A New Look

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: You've returned! Good. I've developments from our research team that I'd like to share with you.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: We've detected some...magical signature in the skyscales that is evocative of Kryptis readings. Yours included.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: I'd like to investigate this quickly to make sure we're healthy and happy.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: It could be that they're both creatures of the Mists, but... Given what we know of the Kryptis, let's be safe.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: I've reached out to Lyhr in advance—he knows you're coming.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: With enough materials, he can craft you a device that should help us better trace the Kryptis influence.

After bringing the collected data to her

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Thank you for coming so quickly, I... I've some news to share.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: The readings are worse than I thought. I think our friend is...sick.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Rather than face possession, the skyscales seem to react to Kryptis influence by becoming quite ill.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: I don't know how potent the disease is, but we need to move quickly, in case...

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: There are ingredients we need. Follow my directions exactly.

After bringing the collected medical supplies to her

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: There... The smell might be strong, but that tells me we're on the right track. The skyscale certainly won't mind.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: You administer the cure. You two are bonded—I don't hold that same trust.

Administer the medicine to the skyscale

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Drat... Drat! It's not working. The influence is too potent. What else, what else...

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: I have one more idea. I'm not sure if it'll work, but we have little choice.

Use the Arcane Transmogrifier on the sick skyscale

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: What blessed timing. Thank goodness you found everything...

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: We were able to stop the influence—but not completely expunge it. I...

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Well, I only have good news. Our friend is going to live. That's what counts.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: The more curious—but still good—news... They're part Kryptis now. I suspect Kralkatorrik's essence played a role in that.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: Instead of succumbing, the Skyscale absorbed the Kryptis influence. I can barely explain it myself.

Skyscale Trainer Dyanne: All I know is that our vitals are clear. We're healthy, if not more...spiky.
