The Emperor's Offer is a Quest in Secret of Mana (SOM).

Description[edit]

Primm is attacked in the ruins by none other than a brainwashed Dyluck. Thanatos takes him away again, and the party heads back to the resistance's base in Northtown to regroup.

The emperor sends the resistance an offer of peace. Doubting its validity, Randi and his friends head to the Imperial Palace.

Geshtar tries to eliminate the party, but King Truffle manages to help them escape with the help of Flammie just in the nick of time. Randi and the others head to the southwest of the empire to regroup in Matango.
