The Puppet.
Unlocks the seax with the Myself concept.
| Concept | Dialogue | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| You | I am a puppet. | X |
| This place | This is a place I come to when I dream. | X |
| Myself | I think you are a blood wizard. | Seax |
| Life | I come from a sterile land of sand and salt and ash - there is not much life there. | X |
| Death | Life and death walk hand in hand and I don't know much of either. I don't think i've ever seen anyone experience either truly. | X |
| Flesh | My exalted mistress who created me has flesh made of gold. Us, her puppets, we have to live with these frail bodies she granted us. | X |
| Time | Where I come from time flows slowly, there is not much to see or do out there. I often envy puppets who are capable of obtaining their individual purpose. | X |
| Gold | My mistress says that gold is a currency of sacrifice. | X |
| Dream | This place makes me feel more free. I'll tell you a secret: I prefer to be asleep to being awake. Have you ever thought of staying in Dream forever ? | X |
| Blood | Your blood and that of your bretheren is tied to that of the Sorcerer. I know. A drop of your blood is the Sorcerer's flesh sacrifice to Jesters. | X |
| Mind | This is not something I could discuss with you thoroughly. Most of my kind have weak minds - we don't require great intellect to serve our mistress. | X |
| Power | Your creator made you so that your kind could be powerful - a new type of creature to rule the Old Earth. My mistress, however, made us weak so we make her seem greater. Do not tell anyone that I told you this. | X |
| Empathy | What is it ? I don't know this word. | X |
Sources and community notes
- The achievements guide places the Puppet in the Gilded Halls and the Waxen Temple, which agrees with this page. The Weapons guide agrees on the Seax (Myself) and Rapier (Flesh) unlocks, but says the Sabre is also unlocked here ("Life with Puppet").
- A thread answered by the developer calls the NPC by the Gilded Halls exit portal the "doll", and says speaking to it opens the Waxen Temple.

From the official manual
- The manual describes the Puppet as a poor soul worth learning from, saying that even the most unfortunate of wretches may utter great secrets.
