Dialogue[edit]

Liana: Whuh... Whah... WHAAAT?! Barta didn't come back AGAIN?

Kotta: I'm afraid this time she went to investigate the leviathan bones in the southwest...

Leena: I... I tried to stop her...

Liana: But obviously it didn't work because she's not here.

Leena: Well, yeah... But... Everyone knows that area is the domain of the Molduga, so who would figure she'd even go close to there?

Kotta: Yes, nobody would dare! And not only that, but it's an extremely hot zone, so we wouldn't last there in our gear...

Liana: You... You IDIOTS! That scatterbrain wouldn't even realize she was walking into danger! I mean, you know that, right?! Why, it was just the other day she ran off and got captured by the Yiga! Ugh... I guess Barta will be Barta, and you all aren't going to change... But still, why does she have to go and get in trouble like this all the time...


Barta: Are you...a fairy? An angel? Are you here to guide my passage? ...Everything's going hazy... This might be the end...

Link: Snap out of it!

Barta: Ahh... If only I could've eaten a hearty durian one last time... A hearty durian... A hearty durian...

Barta: Ahh, spirits of the Goddess.. Before you take me from this would, if I could just taste fruit... Just one last bite of a hearty durian...

Link: Take this!

Barta: Hah... I've returned from the brink of death thanks to you... Sarqso! Huh? Is that you a spoke to before? So you are actually a voe... I thought you were a bit muscular for a Hylian vai. But don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I owe you my life, after all! Hah... ANyway, I'm totally exhausted. Maybe I'll rest just a bit longer then head home.

Link: Your boss was MAD.

Barta: Huh? So... they knew I snuck off... Oh, I am in such trouble... Yep, looks like I'd better go on ahead. See you later and sav'orq!

Liana: Oh! What a courageous vai! I heard from Barta! She said you found her! I told her you were as dependable as a Champion! If you were a Gerudo vai, I'd want you in my troop! Anyway, close one, huh? Looks like I got out of this without getting chewed out by our troop leader! You must be worn out, right? Here, take this as thanks! Buy yourself something nice in the market!

Summary[edit]

Barta has disappeared again. She headed south in search of leviathan bones but never came back. Not only is the area home to Molduga, but it's also known for extreme heat. You'll need special gear, or you'll be in danger. Use your map to search for Barta.

You found Barta collapsed in the desert.

She just keeps muttering,"A hearty durian," over and over again, deliriously.

...Seems like she really wants to eat a hearty durian.

You fed Barta hearty durian after finding her collapsed in the desert.

She seemed much better, but once you told her of Liana's anger, she dashed off back to Gerudo Town. Just in case, you should let Liana know that Barta is OK.
