Gameplay Notes[]

The steps for this hidden exploration objective do not appear in the Mission menu.
Interacting with the Massive Feather during a story exclusive PoV does not progress the player to Step 2
In Step 2, the player must choose two of the Wine Bottles to set against the others (with the first chosen bottle being removed from the second choice options). However, there is no difference in dialogue if a bottle is chosen first or second. Subsequent dialogue is also not affected by the players choices or order of choices when setting the Wine Bottles against the others.
Yanking the Origami Bird in Step 3 does not count to Verdant Manager's collected bird total.

Story Exclusive Dialogue[]

(When interacting in Aventurine's PoV during Trailblaze Mission Double Indemnity in the chapter Cat Among Pigeons): Investigate; Somewhere nearby, you hear a strange disturbance. You can tell that whoever is making the noise is huge, light-footed and perhaps even a little... drunk?; The sound seems to be coming from above you. However, looking up, you see nothing but an empty billboard.; It's like there are invisible dreams floating above you...; Maybe it's just your imagination.

Dialogue[]

Step 1[]

Investigate

Look what you've found! A giant... origami bird, hiding inside a billboard. Its nutritional value is five times than that of a big, juicy steak. Try sneaking up on it and giving it a shock!

Shucks, you completely forgot that you've been shrunk! At your current size, you're no bigger than one of its feathers. If only there was a beanstalk that would sprout from the ground and allow you to climb up and give it a good tug on the feathers.

Massive Feather: That's right! A hundred years is just over thirty-six thousand days, and one must empty three hundred cups in a day!

It seems that the giant bird feels your stirring movements as nothing more than the gentle rhythm of a rocking cradle. It let out relaxed murmurings and raise a toast to the cycranes in its dreams.

Massive Feather: Nothing beats a good feast and drinking to the death!

Massive Feather: Tweet? M—Morning. Did'ya come to d—d—drink wiv me?

I'm here to bring you to justice!

Massive Feather: I didn't— I haven't done anything wrong, I just, I'm just enjoyin' my life here, that's all I've done!

Massive Feather: If you wanna talk 'bout bad stuff... Workin' is the ba—baddest—worst thing I've ever done! Not bein' able to take a break all the time, dontcha think that's the baddest thing ever in the world?

Massive Feather: Tweet, I get it now. You, you're— you came to make me work again, didn't you?

You're already drunk.

Massive Feather: Drunk!? Hah! I—I'm not drunk, why would I— how could I be drunk?

Massive Feather: Then again, compared to the days at the Great Tree, the life here is almost as comfortable as bein' drunk!

Massive Feather: Wait, y—you're—you've come to take me back, haven't ya?

Massive Feather: I—If, if you wanna get me to go back, you can think again! Who'd wanna do that workin' stuff? I know I can't be bothered.

The giant bird has no intention of listening to your explanation. It just continues to feel around for something in its "nest" as if you aren't even there, before letting out a "tweet" fearfully.

It turns to you, and its attitude seems to have changed a little... Humph, what a fickle bird...

Massive Feather: Tweet, m—my friend, do—do you have a minute?

I do, but...

Massive Feather: Can you bring me something? Bring it here?

Tell me what you want me to do first.

Massive Feather: If you have time... Can you bring me something? Bring it here?

(Leave without saying anything.)

Massive Feather: Please wait, hero! Help me, I will do anything!

Massive Feather: I don't know wh—which lou— lou— which lounge-lover could've done this but I had a— I took a little nap and now my stock is empty! I—I get second-hand embarrassment just knowing that there are such shameless people in the world!

Massive Feather: It is said that drinkin' the ol' beverages of Dawndew Hut is more beautiful than the songs of the stars. The glossy flow of the liquid, the sweet aroma, even just the dazzling luster can bring my heart calm.

Massive Feather: If you can bring me a bottle of the finest wine, I will— I will do as you say and g—go back to work.

It's already drunk. Couldn't you just fool it with a bottle of SoulGlad? Ah, best not. You don't want to stoop down to a bird's level.

(Investigate again, optional): Massive Feather: It is said that drinkin' the ol' beverages of Dawndew Hut is more beautiful than the songs of the stars. The glossy flow of the liquid, the sweet aroma, even just the dazzling luster can bring my heart calm.; Massive Feather: If you can bring me a bottle of the finest wine, I will— I will do as you say and g—go back to work.

Step 2[]

Listen

You see three bottles of wine leaning on each other. It is clear to see that they are very close.

Excuse me, which of you is the finest wine here?

Red Wine Bottle: Hah, you're asking which of us is the finest of wines? Hey, brothers! You see what despicable methods they use to try and break up our perfect friendship!

Green Wine Bottle: You would wait for us to descend into battle and smash each other to pieces, then seize your moment to pour us down the sewers and become the finest wine yourself! That must be your plan!

Yellow Wine Bottle: Unfortunately for you, we have seen through your triple alcohocide plot! We three bottles, though we may not have been born on the same day, month, or year, we shall die on the same day, month, and year!

Three Wine Bottles: Haha, our friendship is unbreakable!

I am not alcohol.

(Trailblazer): Have you considered the possibility that I am not alcohol, but a person?

Green Wine Bottle: Yellow, do you see (his/her) despicable scheming? Since (he/she) is not alcohol, (he/she) cannot be seduced by the title of "finest wine..."

Green Wine Bottle: If I had not let myself get carried away with emotion and smashed that bottle of SoulGlad, we would not be in this situation.

Green Wine Bottle: Now, because of my mistake, I have delayed both of your futures, Yellow, Red. Both of you, go on ahead, the title of finest wine belongs to you.

Yellow Wine Bottle: You must not blame yourself, Green! I have always known that you are finer than any wine in the land. I could travel the entirety of Penacony and find no finer wine than you!

Red Wine Bottle: Yellow, what about me?

Yellow Wine Bottle: Though your fragrance is no match for Green, you are extremely potent, Red! Even the incomparable Watchmaker would not be able to tame your fire! Three glasses and he would be cast to the floor, drunk.

Red Wine Bottle: Hearing such a touching assessment, I want to be your little Red forever!

Yellow Wine Bottle: Fear not, fear not! One day, your talents will receive the recognition they deserve and you shall fill the glasses of the Charmony Festival! When that day comes, just make sure that you do not forget about your friend, Yellow.

Green Wine Bottle and Red Wine Bottle: Yellow!

The three hugged each other tight and began to cry on each others' shoulders. Although you do not really understand how bottles hug each other tight, they did just that.

Yellow Wine Bottle: From this day forward, any banquet I attend shall have places for you both! I do not know which winery has sent you, foul villain, but you can give up!

Yellow Wine Bottle: All three of us are the finest wine here, your plan shall not succeed!

Three Wine Bottles: Haha, our friendship is unbreakable!

You begin to think, why not just take all three of them back to the bird when suddenly, an irresistible curiosity surges through you.

Which one of them actually is the finest wine? You have decided that today, you will have them compare and rank themselves as a clear first, second, and third.

Think, think carefully. There is no way that their defenses are impenetrable. All it would take is one word to get them fighting between themselves...

Set Yellow against the others.

(Trailblazer): Yellow, I've actually heard the other two talking privately about you not long ago. They said some quite nasty things.

Yellow Wine Bottle: Do not try to sow discord between we three bottles' camaraderie!

They said your manufacturer is counterfeit.

(Trailblazer): They said you're from a no-name producer that outsourced some work and stuck on a label from a high-end brand.

Yellow Wine Bottle: Wha—!? Those cheap toys dare mock my label? Why don't they pour out half a glass each and see what swill they're filled with!

Yellow Wine Bottle: I popped my cork and worked myself to the glass to bring them into Dewlight Pavilion and this is how they repay me?

Yellow Wine Bottle: I knew they had been talking in secret whispers all the time lately. They just hate me because I am such an old vintage!

Yellow Wine Bottle: You want me to tell you which of us is the finest wine? With me around, they are nowhere near!

Set Green against the others.

(Trailblazer): Green, I've actually heard the other two talking privately about you not long ago. They said some quite nasty things.

Green Wine Bottle: Hah, you think you can fool me with the same lies you would a cheap soda?

They said you're made from poor ingredients.

(Trailblazer): They said that you're made from scraps that even SoulGlad Enterprise wouldn't use, recycled on the cheap to make wine.

Green Wine Bottle: What? I am made from scrap ingredients? Then their ingredients are trash that could not even be recycled!

Green Wine Bottle: I was discussing with little Red how to help celebrate Yellow's bottling day, and this is how they insult me?

Green Wine Bottle: And little Red! I must have had the cap pulled over my eyes to have seen her as my own vintage!

Green Wine Bottle: Hero, you think with my quality, they have any right to talk about whom is the finest wine here?

Set Red against the others.

(Trailblazer): Little Red, I happened to hear Yellow and Green talking, they said some pretty nasty things about you.

Red Wine Bottle: Look, buddy, just say what you want to say.

They said you were industrial alcohol.

(Trailblazer): They said you don't even count as wine, whoever drinks you will end up with brain damage.

Red Wine Bottle: Industrial alcohol? When they tricked me into joining, who was it that said I was the most ferocious of us all?

Red Wine Bottle: Alright, that trust is shattered today.

Red Wine Bottle: Today, I will tear open some bottles and we will see who is the finest wine of the three!

(After selecting any two of the above options)

Mission complete!

Under your tireless offense, a rift has formed in the unbreakable friendship between the three bottles.

Yellow Wine Bottle: Today, in this Moment of Morning Dew, we finally will expose who is truly rotten and putrid together!

Green Wine Bottle: That's right! It seems some wines have already allowed their thoughts to grow putrid!

Red Wine Bottle: Who is industrial alcohol? Who are you calling industrial alcohol? Today, we will see who exactly that is once and for all!

Seeing the three bottles locked in a fierce argument, you cannot help but become overcome with a sense of pride and joy.

Green Wine Bottle: Hero, thanks to you, I have seen their true natures at last. Today, you must be the judge and decide which of us is truly the finest of wines.

Yellow Wine Bottle: That's right, the hero has the discerning eye that will allow you two common bumpkins to witness what a high-quality wine truly is!

Red Wine Bottle: I will no longer answer to anyone, except you! Come, it is time for us to leave this place.

Select Yellow.

Yellow Wine Bottle: I knew it, you have a discerning eye, hero.

Under the disdainful glance of the other two bottles, Yellow excitedly strolls into your Inventory. Now, knowing that it is the finest of wines, it is prepared to crush all other imposters under foot.

Select Green.

Green Wine Bottle: Hah, this is goodbye. See you again never!

As the other two bottles hurl out slurs and curses, Green arrogantly struts into your Inventory. Now, knowing that it is the finest of wines, no other is fit to be bathed in its warm gaze.

Select Red.

Red Wine Bottle: Who said I was industrial alcohol? Who is industrial alcohol now!?

As the other two bottles fall into indifferent silence, Red angrily storms into your Inventory. Now, knowing that it is the finest of wines, the fire in its heart has been reignited.

(Listen again, optional): Lost Bottles: At least we know now they never cared about us two! If they wanted to leave us that badly, they should have just said so!",; Lost Bottles: Haha, we two have an unbreakable friendship!

Step 3[]

Investigate

Massive Feather: Tweet, my friend, did you find what I wanted? Quick, quick, quick, give it to meeee!

The bottle was immediately snatched from your hands.

(If Yellow was selected)

Massive Feather: Ah! This wine has an incomparable elegance. Its flavor is smooth, like a warm current that rushes over my heart. Truly, a unique and rare sample!

Massive Feather: You were able to find such a masterpiece, I knew I was right to trust you.

Massive Feather: The aftertaste lingers and resonates endlessly. It feels like all of my cares and worries have melted without a trace.

(If Green was selected)

Massive Feather: Oh! This wine is truly a masterful work, it is like a world-class dancer casting their masterful steps along my heart.

Massive Feather: Factories these days are so obsessed with labels that they overlook the quality of the brewing ingredients. It has been many years since I have enjoyed a fine creation like this!

Massive Feather: Can you hear that? It is singing a sweet song within my chest.

(If Red was selected)

Massive Feather: Hah! This wine has a ferocious strength, drinking it is like a punch to the face from a great fighter!

Massive Feather: Pure, sincere, this is pure alcohol. It is pure, pure... Strength!

Massive Feather: I would wager that not even Professor Owl themselves would be able to handle more than three glasses!

Yank!; Drunk "Little" Bird: My friend, your taste is the finest of everyone I have ever met.; Of course.; (Trailblazer): This is truly the finest of wines... Careful, do not drink it too quickly!; Drunk "Little" Bird: As for me returning to work. Uh, I'll just have one more sip and then I'll go back, just one sip.; The giant bird took flight and headed off, swaying and weaving... Perhaps it has just gone to find another place to hide and drink wine...
