The Patriarch is an NPC in Hellpoint.

Patriarch - Information

  • The Patriarch has been imprisoned in a cell deep below the Arisen Dominion, possibly by the Ministry of the Union. He seemingly had his eye removed and is being tortured by the Underworld Monolith.

 

  • Ingame description for the Eye of the Patriarch : An Arisen synthetic eye that appears to have been ripped out of somebody's head.

 

  • While not explicitly tasked with doing so, finishing this area's Underworld instance by slaying the Fourth Archon Knight will end his quest, allowing you to return his Eye, receiving a Catalyst Conductor and 9999 Axions.

Patriarch - Location

  • You can meet this NPC in the Mine Mausoleum subsection of the Arisen Dominion area. You can get there even before the great elevator / lift is activated.
  • Starting from the Arisen Dominion : Mine Mausoleum breach : when facing both the breach, and the adjacent Medical Station, turn around ; then, head forward, and slightly to the right, in the direction of the doorway.
  • Pass the doorway, and go down the stairs : you're now standing in front of a basin / pool of blueish radioactive goo, which seems to be the natural habitat of 3x Radioactive Vipers ; in the distance, you can also see a "waterfall" of the same "liquid" / substance.
  • WARNING. Before progressing any further, it is highly recommended that you wear, either the EVA Outfit Set, or the Aegis Armature Set, which will completely negate the buildup of the Radioactive Debuff, as you slosh through the basin of radioactive goo.
  • Go straight ahead, in the direction of the "waterfall" ; hidden behind this peculiar phenomenon, you'll discover the entrance to a passageway.
  • Follow the only available path, and soon enough, you'll come across an Arisen, locked in a small cell, and wearing an elaborate mask / head ornament : this is actually the Patriarch. Right next to his cell, you'll also find an Ominous Monolith, leading to the Underworld subsection of the Mine Mausoleum.

Dialogue

Introduction
Oh...
Who's there...?
I can hear you...
First dialogue option: You are the Patriarch.
Oh... I haven't heard that name in a long time.
I didn't think anybody still remembered.
Yes, before you lies the tragic outcome of what the Arisen chose to do to their sovereign.
Ripped to shreds and walled into the deepest corner of his own palace.
All for so-called "progress..."
Well, they got to build their precious AI, and now look - all there is death and destruction.
I was blind.
I should have taken the AI threat more seriously instead of simply considering them backward.
I never thought this Project of theirs would gain so many allies. There are dark influences at work here.
We were played before we could even understand the game.
Why are they keeping me alive? As a trophy, perhaps.
I have no son. My line isn't a threat to anyone.
Hmm... you are a Spawn aren't you? I can still smell the salt of the Pond on you.
Leave me be. You must be doing their bidding; otherwise you'd be dead.

Second dialogue option: Why are you trapped in here?

Heh heh heh... why indeed?
So young idiots can be free to enable the plans of their evil masters.
Smash the old culture...
Evil exists, stranger. And God will have His revenge one day or another.
Hmm... you are a Spawn aren't you? I can still smell the salt of the Pond on you.
Leave me be. You must be doing their bidding; otherwise you'd be dead.

Third dialogue option: What is that black stone over there?

This... this is one of the gates that connect this reality to the Underworld.
They placed it near my cell, so I can never sleep.
I've seen people commune with these, often never to return.
Those who did lost their minds shortly thereafter.
You'll want to be careful if you enter the Underworld. No one can remain in that place for long.
Hmm... you are a Spawn aren't you? I can still smell the salt of the Pond on you.
Leave me be. You must be doing their bidding; otherwise you'd be dead.

Fourth dialogue option: ...

??
Talk again
You think you're doing the right thing, but you're being used.
As soon as the door is open, they'll send their false prophet and proclaim their heathen scriptures to be the truth.
Leave me be... my blood is boiling. I cannot speak.
 Talk again  Leave me be...
After finishing the Underworld instance in this area
The abyss has stopped crushing my mind. What have you done?
Oh, what a relief... I can finally think.

Answer: Give him the Eye of the Patriarch

 
Oh yes... I can see!
Thank you for relieving the pain of this old Arisen fool.
Heh, what a decrepit place...
Still, it's better than being stuck in my own head.
Thank you, human.
Answer: Keep the Eye of the Patriarch (Windowed message stating: "The Patriarch appears lifeless...". Even though he is still moving like before.)
 Talk
 Take this. It's all I have.
 (Get Catalyst Conductor and 9999 Axions)
Talk
This cage has no door... don't waste your time trying to free me.
I can tell you this, though...
You will find a secret passage hidden in the great hall above us, in the left wall.
Perhaps what you'll find there can be of help to you.
 Talk
I will sleep for now... and I shall return to speak the truth to my people.
My sight is connected to my mind again. I will find a new body.
Thanks to you.
Farewell, human.
May God grant you the strength to destroy this evil.
Talk
...
Returning Later
(Windowed message stating: "The Patriarch appears lifeless...". Even though he is still moving like before.)

          If you don't give him his eye when he first asks, he will instantly die and cannot be given the eye again.
