Wait, Daeva. About Kromede's Tear....

Yes, it's a fine necklace, but because of its origin, there's a lot more you can do with it.

It has a special connection with a particular weapon wielded by Kromede.

• "What kind of connection?"

Well, if you get this weapon, the Sword of the Judge, I can fuse the necklace to it.

The result is a much more powerful weapon. It takes a talented blacksmith to do this, but I think I can do it.

All you need to do is get the Sword of the Judge. Interested?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Woo! This'll be a great way to prove my skills to the world. I won't let you down, I promise.

All you need to do is get the Sword of the Judge. Kromede the Corrupt herself still has it.

She's hiding out in Morheim's Fire Temple. I don't expect that she'll give the sword up easily, though.

• "This is an interesting situation...."

Walter thinks he can improve a powerful weapon with Kromede's Tear. Find the Sword of the Judge.

I hope you don't feel too bad. If what you told me is true, Kromede's been consumed by grief and hate.

If she was innocent before, she isn't anymore. She's a threat that needs to be dealt with.

Did you get the Sword of the Judge? I can go ahead and do the fusion, if that's the case.

• "Let's do it."

Could you not fight Kromede? Or are you afraid I'll mess up?

Remember, I need both Kromede's Tear and the weapon in your Cube when you come to me. Otherwise I won't be able to work.

No pressure here...just saying that if you put your belongings in my hands, I'll take good care of them. Promise.

• "I believe you."

Hah! Ho! Ooof! Man, this is one of the harder times I've had with a weapon. Just a sec.... There!

Well, it was a challenge...I'll say that. It might even have been a little difficult. But I pulled it off.

Here, try it for yourself. It's a little lighter now, isn't it? Be sure to tell your friends who did this excellent work, will ya?

Walter said Kromede's Tear can be used to bolster the Sword of the Judge, if you can get it.

You obtained the sword and gave it to him, along with Kromede's Tear. Walter fused the two and gave you a strengthened weapon, Kromede's Sword.
