| Primary Condition | Guaranteed Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
| First Interaction | [NPC] Master Tao: Ah, who are you? [NPC] Master Tao: Hmmm well, are you powerful? I enjoy watching entities display their power... or die in a pit of fire trying! [NPC] Master Tao: Talk to me again, and I'll give you some challenges to entertain me... I mean, prove yourself. [NPC] Master Tao: In fact, here's a little gift to encourage you to give it a try. | |
| After Completing a Challenge | F Rank | [NPC] Master Tao: You were not good enough. Come back when you've trained more. |
| D Rank | [NPC] Master Tao: Hardly skilled, but I'll let it pass. Come talk to me for your next challenge, and do better in the future. | |
| C Rank | [NPC] Master Tao: Rather average, I'd say. Speak to me again to try a new challenge, or improve on this one! | |

| Teleporting to Arena | [NPC] Master Tao: Ahhh, here we go! Let's get you into the Arena. | |
| Waiting for a Challenge to Start | [NPC] Master Tao: Have patience, I'm getting you in right now! | |
| Attempting a Disabled Challenge | [NPC] Master Tao: It is not safe to do that challenge right now. Come back later! | |

| With Only Equipment | [NPC] Master Tao: Your inventory includes your equipment too! Make sure that is cleared! | |
| Whilst Mounted on a Pet | [NPC] Master Tao: No pets allowed in the dojo! Get off of your pet. | |
| Sent by Ugo | First Interaction | [NPC] Master Tao: Ugo is that you? [NPC] Master Tao: You missed yesterday's lesson. [NPC] Master Tao: And the one before that. [NPC] Master Tao: So today you'll have to do three lessons. [NPC] Master Tao: The first one is a Test of Force. [NPC] Master Tao: Go in the Arena. |
| Completing the Test of Force | [NPC] Master Tao: Humph. This will do for now. [NPC] Master Tao: Onto the next Test, Stamina this time. | |
| Completing the Test of Stamina | [NPC] Master Tao: You are not performing that well today, but I'll accept that score for today. [NPC] Master Tao: One more test before I let you go. The Test of Mastery. | |
| Completing the Test of Mastery | [NPC] Master Tao: Well done Ugo, you finished your training for today. [NPC] Master Tao: Remember Ugo, I can show you the path but I can not walk it for you. [NPC] Master Tao: If you want to make your father proud you will have to train more that it is expected of you. [NPC] Master Tao: Respect your training and respect yourself. [NPC] Master Tao: Go now. | |
| None | [NPC] Master Tao: Make sure you empty your inventory entirely before you enter. | |
| Attempting to Enter Arena With Items | [NPC] Master Tao: Ugo! You know very well you need to store all your items away before you enter the Arena. | |
| Failing a Test | [NPC] Master Tao: This isn't good enough Ugo! Your father would be very annoyed if I told him the score you got! [NPC] Master Tao: Go back inside and do better! | |
