Overview
In the world of Fisch, the enigmatic ??? NPCs are a captivating presence scattered throughout the area of Vertigo. Their dark, semi-transparent form adds an air of mystery, and they are always found in a kneeling position, with their heads bowed. Adding to their eerie demeanor, these NPCs twitch intermittently, drawing players' attention and curiosity.
The role of ??? NPCs in Fisch remains a mystery, as they do not engage in typical NPC activities like quests or trading. Their presence in Vertigo, however, suggests a deeper backstory, possibly tied to the location's history or events that transpired there.
The ??? NPCs' cryptic message can be deciphered using a Caesar cipher.
Dialogue
The ??? NPCs in Vertigo communicate through a cryptic message that players can decipher. When interacted with, they utter a phrase that seems nonsensical at first: 'Olsw... Tl..'. However, by applying a Caesar cipher with a forward shift of 19, this message reveals a plea for help, reading 'Help... Me..'. This adds an intriguing layer to their already mysterious presence.
Trivia
- These NPCs will continuously repeat their sole dialogue line if a player stands nearby or keeps skipping through the dialogue.
- The ??? NPCs are unique in Fisch for having only one line of dialogue available.
- Visually, ??? NPCs closely resemble another NPC known as Perdido, though they differ in translucence and potential dialogue.
- Speculation among players suggests that these figures might have once been Fischers like the player, as they are often found near tents.
