Ordeal in the Grotto of Horror

Enter the Grotto of Horror and pass the test.

(Can be completed on normal and easy difficulty settings.)

You're an official member of Ailic's Pirates, so I'll entrust part of the riddle of the Grotto of Horror to you.

“In the beginning, wealth and greed, overwhelmed by hopelessness.
But when the hopeless hope again, then...
Alone the power of the wide surging seas,
In whose depths, beneath the pressure of soaring waves,
Which threaten to engulf the entire world.
Cannot the sea force you to turn?

Turn back, ye captive sailors!
The thirst for blood, the spirits reeling,
A whirlpool that swallows all...
Will not avarice nor madness stop you?

Go further yet, and further still!
Hoist the flag of battle, plunge into the dungeons of the deep.
Only those rich in greed can obtain yet richer bounty.”

I hope you're up to the test and return safely.

Truly impressive...

I will record the result of this test for posterity. Your pirate crew has risen in the esteem of Kidd's Sons.

I cannot give you any information about the tasks that lie before you. But we know the moment that someone passes the test.
