==Dialogue==
;(After clearing the Stone Pillar Seal where Aradashan is at)
:???: Oh no, the stone lock is gone!
:???: Who could have broken the lock? Could it be the Big Iron Chunk?
:Paimon: It's an Aranara...
:???: Eh? The Golden Nara and the silver bird can see Aradashan?
:Paimon: Paimon is not a silver bird! And gold... Well, this is .
:Aradashan: Okay, Aradashan gets it. It's Nara and Paimon. Aradashan's name is Aradashan.
:Aradashan: Hmmm... You're a Golden Nara, with the same Golden hair as Nara Varuna, with the warm scent of a sun-kissed leaf...
:Aradashan: Oh, but now is not the time to make friends. The stone lock... Did you see who broke it, Nara and Paimon!?
:Paimon: The stone lock is probably what we just opened...
: We did indeed break it...
:Aradashan: No, so Nara was the one breaking the lock...? Aradashan thought the Big Iron Chunks escaped on their own!
:Aradashan: The stone lock is gone! The Big Iron Chunk is coming out!
:Aradashan: You should hide, Nara and Paimon! Big Iron Chunks are big and hard, some even shoot fire out of their eyes! Very dangerous!
:Paimon: Do you mean the monster trapped inside? We've dealt with it already.
:Aradashan: Really? So the Big Iron Chunk was destroyed? Great news! Aradashan was about to shed leaves at the thought of them pouring out!
:Aradashan: So Nara and Paimon took down the Big Iron Chunk here?
:Paimon: We've taken loads of monsters like them down in the past!
: It's routine for us now.
: Have you really helped in any combat?
::Paimon: Hehe, Paimon knows just where to hide!
:Aradashan: Aradashan didn't expect Nara to be so powerful. Uh, can Nara help...?
:Paimon: Could it be related to the stone locks?
:Aradashan: So smart, Paimon! Aradashan is somewhat a bit surprised...
:Paimon: What is there to be surprised about!?
:Aradashan: Hehe, yes, it is related to the stone locks.
:Aradashan: There are sixteen stone locks in total in the forest with Big Iron Chunks inside... Can defeat them?
;(If all 16 stone locks have been cleared)
:: Only 16? We've dealt with it.
::Aradashan: Oh! Nara and Paimon are so amazing! Now Aradashan knows why the air and ground in the forest have become cleaner.
::Aradashan: Wait for Aradashan! Aradashan is going to get the friends!
::Paimon: Friends?
:;(Dialogue continues to "Woah! So many Aranara appeared out of nowhere..." line below)
;(If there are still remaining stone locks to be cleared)
:: Of course.
:: If we see them.
::Aradashan: Oh, Nara is such a nice Nara. Aradashan thanks Nara from the bottom of Aradashan's heart!
::Aradashan: Come see Aradashan once you've beaten all the Big Iron Chunks!
::Aradashan: If you could beat all the Big Iron Chunks, you must also be able to...
::Paimon: ?
::Aradashan: Heh, Aradashan will save that for when Nara comes back!
----
;(After clearing the last stone lock — if the player spoke to Aradashan before clearing all the stone locks)
:Paimon: Yeah? This seems to be the sixteenth! Now, the monsters sealed by the "stone lock" should all be defeated!
:Paimon: Let's go find Ara... That Aranara.
;(Go to the cavern Aradashan mentioned)
;(If not all stone locks were cleared initially)
::Aradashan: Hey, it is indeed you two, Nara and Paimon!
::Paimon: Yeah, we beat all the monsters that were locked up by the stones!
::Aradashan: Heh, Aradashan believed Nara and Paimon could do that for sure!
::Aradashan: See, this is the Nara whom Aradashan mentioned.
;(If all stone locks were cleared initially)
::Paimon: Woah! So many Aranara appeared out of nowhere...
:Aradashan: Nara and Paimon, these are Arasata, Arasaha, and Arayuta.
:Paimon: More Aranara names! Aradashan, Arasata, Arasaha, and...
:Arayuta: Arayuta! My name is Arayuta!
:Paimon: Okay, Paimon's got it, Arayuta!
:Arayuta: Paimon knows my name now. I'm so happy!
:Arasata: Hello... I am Arasata.
:Arasaha: ...Arasaha.
;(If not all stone locks were cleared initially)
:: Hello.
;(If all stone locks were cleared initially)
:: Greetings.
:Paimon: Aradashan, you told us to come see you after we're done with all the Big Iron Chunks... What for?
:Aradashan: Oh, it goes way, way back...
:Aradashan: Several hundred cycles of trees ago, the iron monsters appeared. Some were big iron Nara, some were legless big iron Nara.
:Aradashan: The monsters were as tall as mountains, spewing light as bright as fire. They made the forests weep and bushes wail in the howling fire.
:Paimon: You mean the Big Iron Chunks?
:Aradashan: Yes.
:Arayuta: Let me tell the story from that point on. I like the rest part of the story.
:Arayuta: When things were at their most perilous, the great Aradasha emerged.
:Arayuta: The great Aradasha defeated many, many Big Iron Chunks with Ararakalari and locked them up with stone locks.
:Arayuta: Just like that, the great Aradasha restored peace to much foliage, allowing Nara and Aranara to rest in the forest at night.
:Paimon: So, all the Ruin Graders and Ruin Drakes and stuff from the stone locks we unlocked were defeated and confined by Aradasha!?
:Arayuta: Yeah, Aradasha was super powerful, taking on all those Big Iron Chunks like that! Aradasha stories are my favorites!
:Paimon: But if the Big Iron Chunks that Aradasha put away have been defeated by , why did you want us to come here?
:Arasata: Well... Aradasha locked the Big Iron Chunks away, but even the hardest earth erodes and crumbles in time...
:Arasata: Same as the stone locks. They crack and fracture until they become Valuka.
:Arasata: Then the Big Iron Chunks can shrug off the stone locks to bring doom to the forests. So, we must guard the locks.
:Aradashan: But it would be bad if we should miss any loose locks, so Aradashan, Arasata, Arasaha, and Arayuta must become more powerful.
:Aradashan: If we could defeat them with Ararakalari like Arabalika can, we wouldn't have to worry about the stone locks turning into Valuka.
:Paimon: So you wanted to beat the Big Iron Chunks yourselves...
:Paimon: Uh... How did that become our problem?
:Aradashan: Uh, we can't defeat the Big Iron Chunks right now, so if we released them from those stone locks just like that...
: That would indeed be very dangerous.
: The consequences would be unimaginable.
:Aradashan: But Nara is powerful and can defeat the Big Iron Chunks. With Nara 's help, we can beat the mighty Bulky Iron Chunk!
:Paimon: So you called us here to deal with the Bulky Iron Chunk?
:Aradashan: Bulky Iron Chunk is mightier than Big Iron Chunk. We could only contain it with our Ararakalari.
:Aradashan: So when Aradashan saw Nara defeat Big Iron Chunks, Aradashan thought Nara could defeat Bulky Chunk.
:Aradashan: So Aradashan would like to ask Nara for another favor...
: Whatever kind of iron chunk it is.
: I'll help.
:Aradashan: Oh, Nara is such a nice Nara!
:Arayuta: Nara glows as bright as gold, just like Nara Varuna did in the tales!
:Arasata: Nara is so helpful, like the rain in a drought!
:Arasaha: Thank you.
:Paimon: But you said that the Bulky Iron Chunk is under a lake, right? So, how will we get there?
:Aradashan: It's okay. We just need to lower the water level and make a passage!
:Aradashan: Please wait a while, Nara , and we'll see you in the lake.
;(Approach the seal's location at the bottom of the lake)
:Paimon: So this is the Bulky Iron Chunk.
:Paimon: Since the Big Iron Chunks are Ruin Graders, Ruin Drakes, and the likes... It's no surprise that the Bulky Iron Chunk was actually a Perpetual Mechanical Array...
:Arayuta: Strange. Why do you call the Bulky Iron Chunk "Perlulu Manacle Array"?
:Paimon: Oh, the name will fit pretty soon... But we'll stick to calling it Bulky Iron Chunk for now.
:Arayuta: Bulky Iron Chunk!
:Arasata: The Bulky Iron Chunk can fly and crash down like a meteor. Be careful, Nara .
:Arasaha: ...Be careful.
:Aradashan: We'll help you by using our Ararakalari, Nara !
:Aradashan: Release the Bulky Iron Chunk when you're ready!
----
;(Before fighting "Bulky Iron Chunk")
:;(Talk to Arasaha)
:::Arasaha: I don't speak to Nara often.
:::Arasaha: Thank you, nice Nara.
:;(Talk to Aradashan)
:::Aradashan: You're very powerful, Nara . We'll defeat the Bulky Iron Chunk for sure!
:;(Talk to Arasata)
:::Arasata: It is said the Bulky Iron Chunk has many forms and can turn into many Big Iron Chunks.
:::Arasata: But it will be vulnerable once you beat any of its key parts, so watch carefully, Nara .
:;(Talk to Arayuta)
:::Arayuta: Will we defeat the Bulky Iron Chunk? It is a terrible monster as told in the legends... Uhhh...
;(After defeating "Bulky Iron Chunk")
:Aradashan: Whoa, Aradashan didn't think that the Bulky Iron Chunk would still be so strong after we used Ararakalari.
:Aradashan: Even if our Ararakalari could defeat Big Iron Chunks, we wouldn't be able to handle the Bulky Iron Chunk.
:Aradashan: If Nara hadn't been here...
:Paimon: It's okay, since the Perpetual Mechanical Array... Uh, Bulky Iron Chunk is defeated, there will be no more iron monsters in the forests!
: Yeah, you can rest assured now.
:Arasaha: ...No.
:Arasaha: ...Must rely on ourselves.
:Arasata: Arasaha is right. Seeing Nara fighting the Bulky Iron Chunk had us in awe.
:Arayuta: There is still a long way to go before catching up with the great Aradasha.
:Arayuta: We must train harder, so we can be heroes like Aradasha in the next crisis!
:Aradashan: We must fight the imaginary Bulky Iron Chunk in our dream!
:Paimon: Go for it!
: I know you'll get there.
:Aradashan: When you want to, Nara , just sing the Rhythm of the Great Dream like when you entered Vanarana.
:Aradashan: Then you can join and share our dream of the Bulky Iron Chunk.
:Paimon: Somehow that sounds more like a nightmare...
: Do you dream about fighting, Paimon?
::Paimon: Paimon doesn't want to dream about fighting! Paimon only wants to dream about eating delicious food!
: It's not dangerous in dreams.
::Paimon: True, it's their dream, after all. The Perpetual Mechanical Array won't be real and we won't get hurt.
:Aradashan: Aradashan will go train in dreams with Arasata, Arayuta, and Arasaha now!
:Arasata: As a sign of my gratitude, Nara , I shall remember you with the first ray of dawn.
:Arayuta: Nara , is as great as Nara Varuna!
:Arasaha: ...You will not be forgotten.
:Aradashan: Yes, let's meet again in the dream later!

;(Fight the Bulky Iron Chunk)
;(Talk to Arasata after defeating the Bulky Iron Chunk)
:Arasata: Nara , you are like the wind that blows away mists and miasma. Even the strongest Bulky Iron Chunk will not stand a chance against you.
:Arasata: But a Bulky Iron Chunk with all Ararakalari lifted is still very scary...
:Arasata: If you are not ready, why not challenge a Bulky Iron Chunk with three stacks of Ararakalari lifted and hone your skills first...
:Arasata: Want to challenge the Bulky Iron Chunk with three stacks of Ararakalari lifted again?
