==Dialogue==
;Boreas Seabed outpost
:''"Three of us will die today. I do not fear it. The spirit of the crab is strong in me, and besides, I have died and been reborn many times in this life.''
:''My opponents are strong in some ways, weak in others. I know them well. You are new to me, but I'm not worried."''

;Divine Path
:''"Now that [[Shiro Tagachi|Shiro]] is finished, it is time to turn our attention back to the [[Kurzick]]s."''

;Towns and outposts
:''"<Character name>! You truly proved yourself a cunning foe when you defeated me in the Convocation~ perhaps even a match for me in a fair fight. If you ever wish to test your strength against me, or need my assistance, you need only ask.''
:''What did you need?"''

==Quotes==
;Boreas Seabed mission
:''"Are you still breathing?"'' (when his group spawns)
:''"How is it possible?"'' (when he is defeated)

;The Jade Sea
:''"A cunning warrior walks in the footsteps of the Crab and treads lightly so that his foes' traps will not ensnare him. Remember this, and we will do well in combat."''
:''"These [[Afflicted|plague creatures]] are like no foe I have ever encountered. Their actions follow no logic or plan that I can detect and have no obvious purpose other than to kill."''
: ''"You'd think that after [[Argo]] was defeated in the Convocation; [[Seaguard Hala|Hala]] wouldn't adore him so. But no, it's always Argo this, Argo that..."''

===Battle quotes===
:''"For the Crab!"''
:''"I've got you right where I want you!"''
:''"Look, over there! A piece of gold lying on the ground, with nary a [[trap]] in sight! You'd better go pick it up!"''
:''"Over here!"''
:''"There is nowhere for you to hide!"''
:''"Tread lightly, fiend! Your footsteps will betray you!"''
:''"You cannot escape from us. We have you trapped!"''
:''"You don't seem to be [[bleeding]]. Why don't you let me help with that?"''
:''"You'll be walking with a limp soon!"''
:''"You'll have to do better than that if you hope to outsmart us!"''
