Just gonna copy and paste this post I made on another thread, but I saw Dolorous Bear and Kikina! Someone else said they saw E'manafa!

So while running floors 11-20 of Palace of the Dead for the first time, we ran across a “staff-spinning adventurer” enemy. It was a lalafellin conjurer. We felt kinda bad killing her because a speech bubble saying something like “Where am I?” appeared over her body.

The second time we ran those same floors, we found a sword-wielding adventurer. I had a closer look at him this time.



Bad screenshot timing, but his face looked familiar… oh no… It was Dolorous Bear!!! Upon death he said something like “We said we were gonna make a name for ourselves…”



If anyone remembers, we encountered the NPC Dolorous Bear and his two companions, E’manafa and Kikina, after clearing Sastasha for the first time. Then you could talk to them outside Tamtara. Finally, you learn from Alianne that they perished in Copperbell mines.

Floors 11-20 of Palace of the Dead somewhat resemble areas of Copperbell Mines… That first conjurer we killed was definitely Kikina… Someone else said they saw E'manafa, and she said something like "Dolorous, I never got to..."


This reddit post seems to have people encountering other familiar faces as well...
