    This seriously isn't the first time they have used 'Must needs' in the place of 'You need to'
    It's part of the culture in the game.

    This isn't the first time they've used must needs, it threw me for a loop too but it's consistent with the archaic english that they use throughout the game.

    "Definition of must needs or needs must do something in English:
    archaic Cannot avoid or help doing something:
    they must needs depart"
