    All the new texts for the current new S Ranks:


    Rak'tika

    Ixtab:
    The Viis are not the only ones who have safeguarded the ruins of Ronka for generations. Ancient records tell of an exalted priestess of the empire named Ixtab, a penitent woman and proud patriot. So strong was her faith that she resolved to make the ultimate sacrifice. She consigned her mortal flesh to flame, and in death rose anew, her soul eternally bound to the Greatwood. For thousands upon thousands of years has she watched over these lands. Should one intrude upon her home and by their deeds prove themselves a significant threat to peace and tranquility, she will appear to redress the balance.

    Il Mheg
    (there are two S Ranks here!)

    Aglaope

    Aglaope's tale is quite old─a popular parable of the Voeburtites. It's about a tiny pixie of surpassing beauty that loved to bask in the midday sun, whose voice was as the tinkling of bells...and another pixie that envied them so. Said pixie wanted nothing more than to transform themselves into the spitting image of the object of their admiration, and so they used their magicks again and again and again to refine their own appearance, until eventually, they had achieved the impossible. If the story ended here I suppose it wouldn't be so bad, but it doesn't. For you see, when the glamoured pixie's “friends” saw what they'd done to themselves, they erupted into uncontrollable laughter. They mocked the pixie terribly, calling them ugly and terrifying beyond belief. Thus was the pixie Aglaope instilled with a terrible hatred and envy for all things small and beautiful, and ever after did they roam the land in search of little wonders to destroy with impunity.

    The Forgiven Rebellion

    This is a curious mark. According to my sources, they hail from beyond Il Mheg's borders, and may well roam all across Norvrandt. It's a mean bastard, even for a wandering eater. We've received reports of it actively seeking out veteran hunters, as if it craves the thrill of the fight. Which isn't to say that it fights fair. Sadly, several of our top Nutters have been ambushed while returning home from a successful hunt, which has led some to wonder if it commands lesser minions to guide it to promising prey. As for who it was before it turned─some say it was an elven soldier who led others in open revolt against the rulers of Lakeland before the Flood, all at the behest of the mysterious Shadowkeeper, and that like the Virtues, its unusual hunting habits are rooted in its past life...


    The Tempest

    Gunitt

    Gunitt was like most other dwarves of Kholusia─tough, hardworking, tiny. By all accounts he was content with his lot, until one day he spied a Galdjent three times his size strolling through the market, and decided he'd make himself tall or die trying. So he travels the world, amasses all kinds of treasure, then pays a visit to a Nu Mou hermit who claims he can make his dreams come true, and would you believe it? Gunitt gets his wish! But then, in his greed, he steals the treasure sack off the table and runs off before the hermit can protest. 'Course he was a damn fool to try, cause the hermit gets their own back in the end. Curses Gunitt and transforms him into a twisted fiend for his avarice. Also sank his ship while he was making his escape for good measure. And so Gunitt was consigned to the bottom of the sea where he has wandered to this day. They say his covetous nature still rules him, as when the denizens of the depths attempt to consume their prey, he will appear to steal it out from under them.




    Currently no S Ranks in Kholusia, Lakeland and Amh Araeng due to Early Access! Expect them to be enabled in approx one to two weeks!

    Ixtab sounds like a kill-based spawn condition.

    Aglaope sounds minion-related judging from its hatred of "little wonders".

    The Forgiving Rebellion likely spawns after the death of another hunt mark.

    Gunitt also sounds tied to another enemy/hunt, though not necessarily kills.


    As always, getting the JP version of the descriptions is a good idea as they tend to be a lot less lemony and more to the point.

    Here are the JP versions:

    Rak'tika

    Ixtab:
    遺跡を護り続けているのは、実はヴィースたちだけではないらしい。
    生前にロンカの高等神官だったという「イシュタム」は、
    篤い信仰と皇帝への忠誠心で知られ、古代の史書にも名が残る。
    しかし篤信も、度を過ぎれば恐ろしいものだな。
    彼女はその敬虔さゆえに、自らの身を儀式の炎に焚べ、
    死後も神殿を護り続けられるよう、永遠の契りを結んだそうだ。
    そうしてイシュタムは数千の年月を越え、
    朽ちた魂を引きずりながら、今も遺跡に居着いている。
    遺跡を荒らし回る者が現れれば、彼女の神杖が振るわれるだろう。

    Il Mheg
    (there are two S Ranks here!)

    Aglaope
    「アグラオペ」というのは、
    フッブート王国の古い民話に登場する青空の妖精でな。
    美しい声と、美貌を持つ、可愛らしい存在だったらしい。
    そんな伝承上の存在に憧れたピクシーが、
    自身に幻惑の魔法を繰り返し重ねがけした結果、
    理想通りの姿へと変貌を遂げたんだとか……。
    ここまで聞けば、ハッピーエンドなのだが、
    問題は、変異した後の姿を見た仲間のピクシーたちの反応だ。
    大きくて恐ろしいと、嘲笑ったそうでな……。
    結果、「アグラオペ」と名乗るようになっていたそいつは、
    小さく美しい存在を見境なく襲う悪鬼になったという。
    嫉妬心というのは、恐ろしいものだな。

    The Forgiven Rebellion
    最初に断っておくが、こいつの目撃情報は、
    イル・メグ以外の土地からも寄せられている。
    つまり、ノルヴラント全土に出没する可能性があるんだ。
    いわゆる「はぐれ」の罪喰いの中でも、特に強力な個体で、
    戦闘技能に長けた者を狙い、襲ってくることで知られている。
    ナッツクランでも、ずば抜けて優秀なクラン員たちが、
    狩りの帰りに襲われて、あっけなく犠牲になっているんだ……。
    各地に配下を放ち、常に獲物を探してやがるのさ。
    噂では「影の王」に従いレイクランド連邦に反逆した、
    エルフ族の将軍が変異した罪喰いらしい。
    配下に偵察させるのも、生前の性質を受け継いだからなのかもな。



    The Tempest

    Gunitt
    「グニット」は、元はコルシア島に住む小柄なドワーフだった。
    しかし、商売で村を訪ねてきたガルジェント族の長身に一目惚れ!
    それが悲劇の始まりだった。
    世界を旅して秘宝を集めた上で、
    ン・モゥ族の隠者を訪ね、念願の巨躯を与えてもらったという。
    だが、対価として要求された宝の支払いを拒んで、逃走しちまった。
    結果、取引を反故にされ怒ったン・モゥの呪いによって、
    グニットは水妖の如き醜い姿に変異させられた上、
    彼を乗せた船は、帰路で沈没したそうな。
    情報によれば、今もグニッドは海の底を彷徨い続けているとか。
    しかも、人を丸呑みするほどの大きさの存在を見つけると、
    対抗意識を燃やして寄ってくるらしいぞ。

    There's a minion called the Tinker's Bell that fits the description of what's needed to spawn the Il Mheg S rank to a T.

    Problem it's a reward from beating the Archaeotania, which seems to be this expansion's equivalent of Ixion.

    Yeah, we figured this out.

    We are currently working on Archaeotania - it seems more like Foxy Lady than Ixion currently.

    People have been spamming the presumed trigger FATEs for Archaeotania forever, but it doesn't seem to want to show anywhere.

    I had a thought I might have to do with how much sanguine coral you gather in the second FATE as it's mentioned as being what attracts the thing, but who knows.

    We were doing the chain over and over again, but the last FATE before the boss is not spawning at all and it's getting frustraiting.

    NA has it spawned - JP has it spawned - even Light DC had a spawn on Zodiarc according to some sources.
    Yet we on Chaos can't seem to get it. It's annoying.

    Throwing this out there for Gunitt - There are Clionid mobs that eat the deep-sea leeches if they get near them. 3 Leeches will fully "buff" the mob. Either just feeding 3 or feeding and killing could possibly spawn it?
