You begin the side quest by talking to Shirley at The Asphodel, right after the Art of Survival main story quest in the game. Walk up to her and interact with her to initiate the conversation.

Prompt 2: That’s an interesting take. Can you help me get what passion really means?

(Refuse)To end the conversation

Prompt 3: Of course! A Brief Analysis of the Customer Flow in Icelake’s Taverns, The Craft and Evolution of Drink-Brewing in Asphodel, or Observational Records of the Luno Naming Itself the Demon King. Which one would you like to read?

For an academic report, it doesn’t really sound that academic.Chaos +3
Tell me… Has any of your work to do with true archaeology?Empathy +3

Prompt 4: Well, what choice have I? Nothing lies beneath the snow of Icelake. Then how am I supposed to write a proper archaeology report?

That’s it — you see nothing up top and give up right away. No wonder the investor said he can’t feel any passion.Morality +3

Prompt 5: It’s not like I want it this way! Passion, what is it? I am sure I haven’t found it here in Icelake.

  • 2000x Coin 

Prompt 6: How about… you take me around and see if we can find some inspiration. Of all the regulars at the Asphodel, you look like the one who drinks the least and reads the most.

Alright, let’s see if we can dig up some inspiration for you.Empathy +3 
Pay up and I’ll help you brainstorm.Benefit +3
You came to the right person — I am the top-notch intellectual. Now share some of your research funding with me, and I shall help you.Chaos +3
