The Genie Lords negotiation sequence is complex and requires traveling across the chessboard grid to complete quests in the correct order.

Diplomacy Step-by-Step Flowchart

  1. Talk to the Djinn Lords (East) → they tell you to seek the Marid Lord.
  2. Talk to the Marid Lord (North) → he requests you free his Storyteller.
  3. Talk to the Dao Lord (West) → he requires the Pale Blue Jewel of Fire to release her.
  4. Return to the Djinn Lords → accept their terms, then say you will sail to the end of the world for Ardonat Isle. They grant the Jewel for your courage.
  5. Trade the Jewel to the Dao Lord → retrieve the Storyteller and escort her to the Marid Lord.
  6. Return her voice → the Marid Lord rewards you with the Efreet Potion.
  7. Drink the potion → cross the South chessboard path to the Efreet Lord.
