In his log<\/a> about Reality 42, Jonesy said Kondor<\/a> likes to stand in the rain and monologue about cherry blossoms. Well, it turns out he also likes to speak in haiku, as evidenced when you hear from the NPC version of him. For instance, in the season-long Rare Quests, he was associated with completing player eliminations and melee damage, and when you reached each milestone, he popped up in the corner with a little poem:<\/p>\n

\n
Eliminate 5 Players<\/dt>\n
\n

Select your target.
\nFollow them and know them well.
\nAnd then take the shot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

<\/p>\n

Eliminate 25 Players<\/dt>\n
\n

No room for mercy.
\nNo time for hugs and cuddles.
\nYes, I am lonely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

Eliminate 100 Players<\/dt>\n
\n

Bullets, blades, or bombs.
\nYou must learn to use them all.
\nI can, NBD.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

Eliminate 250 Players<\/dt>\n
\n

One hundred at start.
\nAt the end just one.
\nMake sure it is you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

Eliminate 500 Players<\/dt>\n
\n

Like a deadly wind.
\nLeaving only destruction.
\nAlso, blowing leaves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

5 Melee Eliminations<\/dt>\n
\n

Be close and deadly.
\nAnd then land the final blow.
\nVictorious path.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

25 Melee Eliminations<\/dt>\n
\n

I prefer a sword.
\nBut a pickaxe is not bad.
\nA winner makes do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

50 Melee Eliminations<\/dt>\n
\n

Eliminations.
\nOf the most personal kind.
\nMy favorite type.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

75 Melee Eliminations<\/dt>\n
\n

Your land is so strange.
\nBut the weapons work so well.
\nI can work with this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

100 Melee Eliminations<\/dt>\n
\n

I drop from the sky.
\nI spy my foe on the ground.
\nUnseen, I strike first.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

He also delivers one if you choose him to receive a box of chocolates during the Week 11 Valentine's Day questline:<\/p>\n

\n
Help Lovely celebrate Hearts Wilds<\/dt>\n
\n

A gesture of love.
\nI have never received one.
\nI am totes blushing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

Week 12's Epic Quests were about his fellow bounty hunter Mave being concerned about his dark nature and trying to cheer him up. Upping the ante, we now got a haiku both when he assigns a quest and when it's completed:<\/p>\n

\n
Deal damage within 15 seconds of gliding<\/dt>\n
\n

Isolate the pack.
\nIn this trap, our foes will pay.
\nShow them no mercy.<\/p>\n

*200 damage*<\/i><\/p>\n

Your enemies fall.
\nAs fast as leaves in autumn.
\nDon't break the cycle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

(Mave has the player tell Kondor about scenes of beauty on the island.<\/i>)<\/center><\/p>\n
Destroy inflatable tubemen llamas at gas stations<\/dt>\n
\n

The llamas mock me.
\nWith wiggly arms, vacant eyes.
\nI must destroy them.<\/p>\n

*pop 3 llamas*<\/i><\/p>\n

They wiggle no more.
\nBut still my soul is restless.
\nWhat will bring me peace?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n

(Mave sends you to retrieve a family portrait from a shipwreck.<\/i>)<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Throw a fish back in to the water<\/dt>\n
\n

I know these portraits.
\nOld faces that balm my hurt.
\nHow to repay Mave...?<\/p>\n

*throw that fish*<\/i><\/p>\n

Mave's goal may not work.
\nMy fire may never die.
\nBut the effort is kind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Additionally, available throughout the entire season were the Beskar Quests, which allowed you to take Mando from his plain look<\/a> to one that was more shiny<\/a>. Completing Kondor's gained you the right bracer.<\/p>\n

Defeat Ruckus<\/dt>\n
\n

I saw your Beskar.
\nTaken by a brash madman.
\nFind him; reclaim it.<\/p>\n

*win the fight*<\/i><\/p>\n

A clean victory.
\nThe steel claimed righteously.
\nUse it in good health.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

He's awfully chatty for a ghost! And some of those Rare Quests were probably only ever achieved by a small handful of players, meaning a lot of work went unseen.<\/p>\n
