Follow That Fish!

Le poisson-fantôme
Everything is read from the game's code, unless stated otherwise

The essentials

  1. Take the quest: Porth Llaffan – House (post-game)
  2. The request: Jona Jones from Porth Llaffan thinks a mysterious shadow she saw in the sea might have been the real Lleviathan, and wants you to find a way of summoning the great sea-beast.
  3. Find: what the request names
    • Lleviathan — Earliest: Cuddiedig Cliff, Porth Llaffan: Lleviathan (once)
  4. Battle: Cuddiedig Cliff, post-game, quest 39 “Follow That Fish!”: Lleviathan (once)
  5. Reward (first time):
    Sterling's whistle
  6. Unlocks: the game's true ending: it is the last episode of the story recap the game keeps. Lleviathan gives a fygg; eating it, the hero sees Sterling and Stella again and gets Sterling's whistle: it calls the Starflight Express anywhere in the mortal realm, and the hero flies it. Since the end of the story the train was out of reach (it won't leave without Sterling or Stella): 17 grotto locations can only be reached with it, and the Starflight Express Wi-Fi quests (146 to 148, 150) are taken on board.
