Better than Flowers
Kira Woodville
For my infusion, we also need larch cones. They're not only useful, but also extremely beautiful, which is why they're called "polar roses." You'll be able to appreciate how suitable this name is when we find the pink larch cones.
-
Power of Light
Huntress
No matter how cold it is, warm memories will also warm your heart, mein Freund. At home, we used to make a Christmas pyramid in the form of a carousel. I'll give Herr Nicholas such a gift to remind him that he's always welcome in the City.
When Herr Nicholas becomes Lord of Frost, he won't be able to leave the Crucible of Cold for a long time. This Christmas pyramid will remind him that there are those in the City who miss him.

An Arctic Expedition
Detective
The Polar Quarter seems long deserted. But there must be a reason why Icy's portal to the North Pole opened here! Let's take a look inside. This place was clearly part of a northern town. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't let them freeze over, buddy. We might be heading right into the Snow Queen's trap!
I don't see a single living soul in the Pola Quarter. But the blizzard is weakening. Wow, what's this? Santa's festive sleigh! So he went to the North Pole before us to save Nicholas! Look, there's a frost-covered not in the sleigh.
-
Cult's Associate
Rayden Storke
Mr. Black instructed us to check the City's streets for signs of the Shadow Cult. It seems that many have already joined them. Help me find these signs to identify loyal associates of the Cult.
-
Warm Wind Chest
Carlos Light
The fog took my children from me again. Why did I let Vera go alone? Well, at least Lucas is now with his sister and they've managed to escape from the Cult. I'll comb through the fogged quarters of the City every day until I find my kids. But please, don't say a word about it to Black!
-
Ginger Heat
Lady
You've done so well - your cookies are perfect! When Nicholas becomes Lord of Frost, he'll need a lot of strength to resist the magic of the Crucible. And where can he get it, if not from cookies made with love?
-
Pocket Christmas Tree
Valerie
So that Nicholas's heart never gets covered with ice, he'll need the most important Christmas attribute - an elegant Christmas tree! I doubt he can carry a tree to the Crucible of Cold, so a pocket souvenir will be perfect here. I had one somewhere, help me find it.
-
Drink Heat
Detective
Nicholas is going to the Crucible voluntarily to take the place of the Load of Frost. The things we do for love, right, buddy? Alghough it's not magic, I'll give this guy a shoe cup to warm him with a hot drink. Now where did I put it? Will you help me find it?
Yes, that's exactly what we're looking for. I bought the cup for my first Christmas in the City. Oh, it brings back so many pleasant memories!
-
Light of Hope
Icy
Nicholas has decided to go on a suicide mission, and for what? Oh well, it doesn't matter. We have to do everything we can to prevent the powers of the Crucible settling into his heart. I will give him a Christmas arch so he remembers that he has friends. Will you help me find it?
The Christmas arch lamp is usually placed by the window during the winter solstice, when there isn't enough daylight. May hits lamp warm Nicholas during the polar nights.
-
Rebirth from Ice
Icy
In order to correctly interpret the lines in the Crucible of Cold's story, I'll have to restore information about its creation. The materials you've collected are enough. To make things quicker, I'll need artifacts. Lend me some.
The aritfacts's magic is helping me concentrate, and I hear the spirits that serve only the North dancing to the lyre's tune. They shrouded the moon and the world plunged into darkness. But it was destroyed by the birth of the ice phoenix. I've understood the prophecy's essence, now I'll write it down!
-
Ice Wind Test
Detective
All this talk about the Crusible has made my hands go cold. I found information about the curls called the Snowstorm Whirl, but the wind snatched the page out of my hands. Help me find it, buddy.
It says here that the Snowstorm Whirl is a trap. Before the Crucible even existed, the Northern winds raged in its place, and passing through them was a test for the mages of the dawn of time...
-
Blizzard Dance
Juliette
The name of the next image in the tales is the Frosty Dream. It depicts what looks like blizzard spirits circling around the moon, trying to shroud its light. Does this symbol also hold the story of some exile? Let's find out, mon ami.
The Frosty Dream is a symbol of oblivion and nothingness... The blizzard spirits hide the roads, lead travelers astray, and call them to join the ice army that serves only the Crucible of Cold and the ice desert.
-
Polar Night
Lumica
You found the necessary information about the amulet! It says here that it captures the polar lgihts. It was created by an ice mage who was expelled into the ice desert. He called it the Night Aurora.
-
Tune of Cold
Adeline Svensson
To find out the Crucible of Cold's story, we're restoring the information recorded in the tales. I found the image of a lyre in the book, but I don't know if it's connected to the Crucible. Will you help me figure it out?
-
Gift of the Ancients
Nicholas
In the tales, I found a part devoted to the story of the Crucible's creation, but its text is partially missing. We have to restore it in order to understand how to resist the ancient magic that froze the christmas Book. Look, it depicts the Windstorm Wings artifact here. Let's find information about it - this will help us learn the story of this source of eternal frost.
Yes, you're right, this informatio is dedicated specifically to the Windstorm Wings. It says here that the ancient mages used it to raise a powerful wind, as if from the flapping wings of a giant bird.
-
Invisible Enemy
Icy
I will compare the energy of the clues you've found to find out who froze the Christmas Book. But I'll need time and some artifacts. Will you help me get some before I dive into my study?
The aritfacts' energy formed a magical stream that's reflected from the clues. Jack Frost is not guilty of freezing the Christmas Book, neither are the other Christmas thieves, but the brooch swallowed the stream... Look, the brooch has created the projection of a book! What's written in it?
-
Flash Bomb's Core
Carlos Light
If Vera has decided to go after Lucas alone, then there will be no changing her mind. The core of the flash bomb will be a real anti-fog crystal. You won't believe it, but Mr. Black himself gave it to me from his personal supplly. Lend me some tools, I'll install the crystal!
As soon as I installed the fog anti-crystal in the center of the multifaceted orb, its glow increased. When the electric pulse ligher discharges, the bomb will burst with a powerful light wave. Be careful, Vera, and come back with Lucas!
-
Bold Decision
Vera
The flash bomb is almost ready. It already emits a powerful glow, which is about to burst out. It needs to be masked, put it in something so that I can get to Lucas unnoticed. Try to find a bag made of light-absorbing material!
The bag you gave me really masks the bomb's glow! With it, I'll go into the fog unnoticed, until the time comes to use the bomb against the Dark Hunter. I've decided to go after Lucas alone. I can no longer expose others to such a threat.
-
The Last Clue
Martha
Accoridng to Santa, the Christmas Book is enveloped in strong magic. Before, only the Snow Queen could control such power. I feel her magic around the Book. Let's find an explanation for this.
Did you find Lumica's ice brooch? Let me see... Hmm, it's been imbued with so much frost magic that it began to exude cold itself. But it's unlikely it could freeze such a powerful artifact as the Christmas Book.
-
Fatal Accident
Icy
What if no one is to blame? What if the Christmas Book just froze by accident? I noticed an elf's cap in the corner and thought that Santa's helpers might have inadvertently knocked over frost phials or cold elements. Let's check, maybe there are some traces on the cap?
It seems that the cap's owner dropped it, trying to leave unnoticed. Well, someone's getting into trouble for losing part of their uniform! But I don't feel traces of ice magic on it.
-
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Valerie
Look! A mystical whirlwind rises from behind the huge gate of the Witches' Abode. I can't see where it's coming from: the gates are covered with some kind of thickly intertwined plants. We must go inside quickly. Do you have a knife or scissors to cut through this overgrowth?
-
Dark Secret
Martha
I'm in a desperate situation and must reveal a terrible secret to you: for thousands of years my family hid a dark artifact in their Abode in order to guarantee its "silence." But today, it awakened by itself. Please come with me. I can't manage without your help.
The Witches' Abode, where the dark artifact is kept, is located here next to the Room of Fate. For years, I hid this place unde an invisibility spell. Today it's time to remove the spell! Behold the magnificent pantheon of witches, my ancestors!
-
Clanging of Chains
Valerie
Oh, you won't believe what I just saw - huge traces of clawed paws in the snow and a broken chain next to them - it's Krampus! It was this Christmas hater, who likes scaring children, who froze the Christmas Book! Or maybe it's just someone's wicked joke? Check it out for yourself!
As I said - Krampus's chain, and it's lying here for a reason! What if Lumica is conspiring with this monster, and the Christmas ball is just a distraction?
-
Green Trail
Detective
I don't believe a single word Lumica says. How can you trust a person who shares the interests of a well-known Christmas theif, anyway? Take a look, his green shoe is being flaunted just in the middle of the hall! Come on, let's examine the clue. Maybe they're accomplices?
Yuck, the Christmas thief's green shoe smells like treacle and ginger! It seems this thief visited a candy factory, but that doesn't mean he has anything to do with freezing the Christmas Book.
-
Snow Painting
Lumica
Nicholas is right! Santa's accusations are just empty guesses. I will find out who froze the Christmas Book! It has an imprint of ancient magic and a snowflake painting - it's the handwrintg of Jack Frost. Help me find evidence of his involvement in the Book's freezing.
You found Jack's staff with which he draws snowflakes. Hmm, what made him leaves his powerful artifact here?
-
Christmas Gifts
Martha
The gifts the citizens have prepared for Lumica bear the true warmth of Christmas. The spirits are calling to me: they also want to present the sorceress with a gift. Please bring me some artifacts, I have to perform a ritual.
The aritfacts fill me wit henergy, and I see how light particles separate from each of the gifts brought to Lumica - these are Soul Crystals! But now they're not empty - there are emotinos reflected in them! This is an invaluable gift, but where is Lumica to receive it?
-
Special Fuse
Carlos Light
The flash bomb has to work on the first try, otherwise we'll have no chance of escaping the Dark Hunter. I'll equip the bomb with a special fuse so that we can detonate it from a distance. I'm sure you know where to get some crystal fiber for this.
You didn't waste any time and found a whole coil of crystal fiber! If we can't get close to the Dark Hunter, we'll throw our flash bomb at him adn detonate it from a distance. Oh, hold on, little Lucas, we'll find you very soon!
-
Winter Flower
Mistress
As a gift to Lumica, I prepared a Christmas cactus that blooms in December. Like the Lady of Frost, it's quite plain, but nonetheless very popular during the holidays - like Lumica. I'm not being too harsh, compare them yourself!
Did you find the cactus I prepared for Lumica? May it remind her that it's time to regrow her spines, otherwise what kind of Lady of Frost is she?
-
Bright Flash
Carlos Light
Oh, my poor boy Lucas, why is the Dark Hunter after this good child? I'll stuff the flash bomb with some magnesium chips - to enhance radiation. Such chips should be in old photo flashes. Will you help me find at least one?
Great find! There are still some magnesium chips left in this old flahs. I'll mix it with the one that I managed to find, we need everything we can get. When ignited, magnesium emits bright light, which the bomb's shell will multply tenfold.
-
Trust but Verify
Isabelle
As a gift to Lumica, I prepared a special artifact - the top of the patron of traveler's staff. I admit that the Snow Queen's essence may still prevail, so I've ensured that the artifact won't allow this to happen again. Come, I'll show you.
See, I inlaid some gemstones in the topping, addeda wave covered with runes, turning it from an ordinary ornament into a powerful artifact.
-
Guiding Star Charm
Nicholas
Do you know the story of Lucia? one Christams night, dark forces stole the moon and stars from the heavens, and Lucia stepped onto a cliff's ledge with a lantern to become a guiding light for those who were still at sea. I will gift her crown to Lumica. Will you take a look?
Lucia's crown is talisman that won't let my queen go astray no matter what path she's chosen. You know that I don't care where we go as long as I follow her.
-
A New Beginning
Icy
I believe that the Snow Queen's cruelty remains in the past. Lumica spent the whole year in this palace, trying to understand who she really was. From me she will receive a symbol of the awakening of like - the koliada wheel. There it is, see?
The kolida wheel is a symbol of the sun's birth and the emergence of a new life. I with Lumica to free herself from the icy bonds of her past so that she can start a new life.
-
Reliable Detonator
Carlos Light
I'm assembling the flash bomb from memory: I once saw a drawing of it, but it was a long time ago. I'll need a device that can create small electrical discharges. Maybe an electric purse lighter? Get it if you know where to find one!
You're back with the electric pulse lighter. Thank you for doing so much to save Lucas! I'll modify this lighter and install it into the flash bomb. It'll detonate and the burst of light should stop the Dark Hunter.
-
Burst of Light
Carlos Light
Mr. Black is right, going to save Lucas without a weapon is not the way. I've been thinking, the Dark Hunter is a clot of fog, and crystals work best against the fog. I'll try to create something like a flash bomb, will you help? To start, let's find a multifaceted orb!
You found a multifaceted orb ideal for the flash bomb. Such bombs don't explode but release a powerful flash. The special shape of this sphere will allow it to scatter light rays over a long distance. This is just what we need!
-
Holy Boundary
Yui
The heavens should like the alley decorated with paper lanterns in the form of temple roofs. In China, they erect paifang arches at the entrances to sacred places. Look for the arch's paper copy!
-
The Girl's Request
Kira Woodville
Thanks to you, I have my valuable adornments back. They're all dear mementos of my past, but I value the broken badge that got damaged in the landing most of all. Now Martha will be able to fix it. She will need several artifacts for the restoration ritual though.
I haven't seen anything like that! Light from the artifacts envelops the adornments and concentrates on one point. Martha moves her hands over the ball and wishpers something. The fragments of the badge appear in the light... and reconnect. It worked! The badge looks like new.
-
Prayers in the Smoke
Martha
The elements of nature are unpredictable. An alley decorated with the paper roofs of temples symbolizes the citizens' hope for protection under the cover ot the heavens. Find a lantern in the form of an incense tower, where the haze of smoking sticks takes away prayers for the deities.
-
The Lovely Girl
Juliette
Mon ami, are you helping lovely Kira Woodville get her things back? I'd like to help too. I saw a wonderful perfume bottle nearby, and I know for sure we don't have such bottles in the Lower City. Let's show it to Kira!
There's not only perfume in the bottle, but also a stiletto knife under the lid! A bit strange, but you have to admit: the smell is just wonderful. Kira is very nice, I hope we will be friends.
-
The Resourceful Girl
Kira Woodville
Thank you for helping return the items I lost. When I lost my parents as a child, I had to roam alone and people often tried to rob me. Fortunately, I had the luck coin my father gave me. Will you look for it?
This seemingly ordinary coin turns into a razor. It is a pity my father didn't tell me why he ordered it. I hope I'll discover the truth one day.
-
The Practical Girl
Huntress
I want to help Kira Woodville return what she's lost. Wnat to know what I like about her? She's a good fighter, and her adornments serve a practical purpose. I respect that. Let's help her by returning the necklace she told us about.
The blade of the Dagger Necklace is so well-balanced! I definitely want to know where Kira Woodville got it, I wouldn7t mind having something like this.
-
Dollhouse
Isabelle
Would you forgive me for one more request? You gave me such marvelous dolls and they should be in an equally marvelous house. Please use some City artifacts and build the Dollhouse of my dreams.
You've managed to create my dream Dollhouse! I don't have the words to express my gratitude! I may be small, but it could be very useful to you. And now I'm leaving to go play with my wonderful dolls!
-
The Savior Girl
Rayden Stroke
I want to return Kira's lost things. When I first saw her, I didn't believe this lovely girl was a bodyguard. But then I realized how good she was at her job. Let's find her earrings. She values them very much.
One night, a dangerous fellow attacked us. Kira knocked the weapon out of his hands, took off her earrings and put them to his throat. You should have seen his face!
-
The Prudent Girl
Kira Woodville
When preparing for the trip with Rayden, I didn't know what was waiting for us. The inhabitants of the Lower City could've been villains! So I brought my special brooch with me. I've learned to protect myself since childhood, but girls were not allowed to carry weapons, so I disguised them as adornments. Find my brooch and I'll show you.
The precious brooch is decorated with tiny shapphires and its blades are sharp. I don't want to brag, but I'm quite an accurate thrower.
-
Detailed Analysis
Vera
I activated all the scavengers' devices we found. I even managed to detect the signal of Lucas's tracker for a split second, but it disappeared again. Lend me some tools, I'll use them to take measurements from the devices and analyze everything.
Due to the corner counter, I found out where the Dark Hunter attacked us, separating me from Lucas. Then the scavenger's navigator detected motion in the fog. Lucas's tracker last appeared somewhere here. It turnes out that Lucas isn7t far from the Foggy Backstreet!
-
Secret Button
Vera
There's a tracker on Lucas's backpack, but its signal is gone. The tracker must've turned off due to his long stay in the fog. I'll try to activate it remotely. There's a special button inside my pencil. But where is it...? Help me find it!
Thanks for your help! I thought we wouldn't find my light bulb pencil. It's very convenient for making notes in the fog, as the light bulb illuminates the notebook. If you unscrew the light bulb, you'll find a button that activates Lucas's tracker. Shall we?
-
Beautiful Doll
Huntress
Your doll collection for Isabelle wouldn't be complete without the Elian doll. Her hat by the way, is a tru work of art. It's made from g reen muslin and is trimmed with gold thread. Come with me, I know where to find it.
I have to say that the Elian doll is a perfect addition to your collection.
-
Doll With Blue Hair
Martha
I've heard that you are collecting dolls for Isabelle. What a good idea. I saw the Chantal doll near here. She's hard to miss - blue hair and gorgeous dress. Come on, I'll show you.
You did great with the search for the Chantal doll. She's beautiful, isn't she?
-
Hazard Identifier
Vera
The scavengers' devices will help me find Lucas in this foggy streets maze. When I determine my brother's location, I'm going after him at once. I'll definitely need a device that scavengers call "the fog's cradle." Help me find it.
Great, we have the fog's cradle! The principle is quite simple. The oscillation of the balls accelerates in particularly dangerous areas of the fog, warning you that you'd better not go there. I'll take the device with me when I determine where Lucas is, then I'll go after him.
-
Breadcrumbs
Vera
I'm sure Lucas will also be looking for me. I want to leave a trail of "breadcrumbs" for him - it's what we call the signs left for our people in the fog. For this, we'll need a special stamp! Let's look for it.
Thank you for finding this fluorescent stamp for me. It makes a sign in the form of an eight-pointed star - it's a symbol of our scavenger group. Lucas is a smart boy and will definitely notice these "breadcrumbs" left for him.
-
Motion in the Fog
Vera
I feel how scared Lucs is, alone in the fog where the Dark Hunter roams. With the help of the scavengers' devices, we'll determine where my brother is. I heard that someone brought a scavenger's navigator at auction in the Foggy Backstreet. Help me get this device!
Thank you for persuading the owner to lend us the scavenger's navigator! This device picks up any motino in the fog from a distance. If you take the readings correctly, you can understand the motion of whatever subject the navigator senses, be it a rat, bird, or human.
-
Route Through the Fog
Vera
Have I told you that scavengers use special devices to search for members of their group lost in the fog? With their help, we'll determine where Lucas is now. Running away from the Dark Hunter, I dropped my corner counter. Help me find it!
You found my corner counter! This device captures all the turns and doesn't let you miss the one you need. In the fog, where there's zero visibility, this is useful gizmo. I have my route data saved in the counter... Ah, I almost picked up his trail. It will definitely come in handy!
-
Deceitful Guise
Vera
My. Black is as stubborn as a mule! I have no secret motives. My only goal is to find my brother and save him from the Dark Hunter. I hope Black keeps his word and believes me if I tell him a valuable secret. Lend me some tools, I need to get something from the fog!
Phew, I found the mask of a Shadow disciple! There, in the fog, the disciples are different from those terrible creatures you might've seen. Having given their soul to the darkness, they learned not to lose their human appearance. That's why they god rid of their masks. I'm sure Black will appreciate this information.
-
Absolute Darkness
Vera
What other evidence of the Dark Hunter's existance does your Black need? When the spawn of the Cult separated me from Lucas, I searched for my brother in the fog for a long time, but I only found this... Damm, where is it? Please help me find Lucas's belt lamp!
Praise the Defenders, you found my brother's belt lamp! It's broken and has the fog swirling under its glass. It's much darker than what you're used to seeing. Scavengers call it "the Dark Hunter's shade."
-
Devastating Grip
Vera
Thanks for bringing my brother's ring! See this crack? Right before my eyes, the Dark Hunter wrapped himself around Lucas's hand, trying to grab him. Luckily, my brother managed to free himself and hide in the foggy maze. I only managed to pick up this ring, but it's chipped by fire.
-
Tribute to Traditions
Lady
Preparing a gift for Lumica is a very delicate matter, as this is her first Christmas amongst friends. Therefore, I made a traditional Christmas wreath of spruce branches and decorated it with candles. Want to take a look?
There was a time when a Christmas wreath was used instead of a calendar to count down the days before the holiday. With this gift, I want to give Lumica happiness with the anticipation of a miracle.
-
Down with the Doubts!
Juliette
It's so wonderful that all suspicion has been dispelled and we can now go to the festivities at the Ice Palace! Ah, mon ami, I haven't attended a ball in so long! Come on, we have to prepare properly to celebrate Christmas. I'll write down everything we need in the Investigation Diary.
-
Diggers' Cache
Cardsharp
If not for you, I don't think I would've found anything. So I'm giving you the most valuable item from the Diggers' Cache - a huge yellow diamond. Take it quickly, before I change my mind.
-
That Very Cache
Cardsharp
Oh, the smell! Just look, my friend, how many treasures are hidden in the shadows! Looks like nobody has been here for a long time. I can't see any traces of anyone. The air's even wonderfully fresh... To the unseasoned thief... err, adventure seeking eye, it will look like a pile of rubbish but my instincts have never failed before!
Well, I'm a bit annoyed - the piles of gold could've been higher. Although, if I return here with an experienced historian and jeweller... Here's your share, my friend! Don't forget to take a couple of mementos.
-
Anomalistic Ability
Vera
Father warned me - if Black found out that I was a scavenger, he'd consider him a traitor. That's why he acted in secret - so that Black wouldn't stop us from trying to save Lucas from the Dark Hunter. Even stones melt from his touch. Help me find one!
Thanks for finding this molten stone. Trust me, as a scientist, few anomalies can melt such hard rock in an instant! Oh, I hope the Dark Hunter doesn't find Lucas while I waste time justifying myself to Black.
-
Burning Through Barriers
Vera
I'm scientist, and the scavengers' lifestyle attracted me because I can explore the anomalistic terrain. But since you need proof of the Dark Hunter's existence, let's find my burned book, it shold be here somewhere.
Thisis my book! You'd make an excellent scavenger! The ability to find the right things is highly appreciated in our circles. When the Dark Hunter rushed at me, I threw this book at him, and this is what happened to it. The Dark Hunter burns through everyting in his path.
-
Piercing Cold
Vera
Believe me, I wasn't going to steal the crystals. I needed my father's help to save Lucas from the Dark Hunter. I'll provide evidence of the monster's existence. I found frozen woold not far from here. Find it and I'll explain everything!
Where the Dark Hunter files, all that's left of trees are these frozen stumps. I'm sure you haven't seen this before. The scavengers said that the Dark Hunter emanates a cold that freezes anything from the inside in an instant.
-
Bright Comet
Rayden Storke
Whe we turned on the Shadow Lamp and it projected Carlos's memories, I noticed right away how Carlos was openieng the cache that looked like some kind of puzzle. I found this cache, but I can't open it without tools. Could you lend me some?
Hmm, let's turn it here, spin this thing... It worked! The puzzle cache is open. Look, there's an old photo inside with a signature on the back. This is Carlos's handwriting! "Vera is eight years old. I'm so happy that my little bright Comet looks so much like her mother."
-
Lost Trail
Mr. Black
I went back through Carlos's memories in the Shadow Lamp he left with the Pawnbroker for safekeeping. I saw a place where another cache in the Foggy Backstreet is located, protected by a combination lock. I'm sure it contains more valuable information. Help me find it and open it!
You not only found the combination lock cache but also figured out the password for it. Hmm, I think I know what these numbers mean... It's the birth date of Carlos's son! Let's see what's in the message: "I'm sorry, but I've lost Lucas's trace, I hope he was able to escape from the Dark Hunter."
-
Cache Entrance
Cardsharp
I'm positive that the entrance to the Diggers' Cache is under that statue. But how do we get in... Think, Cardsharp, think! Don't give up! Of course... The statue in the picture is holding a pick. Eureka! The Conductor had one just like that. Once I almost won it at cards but it's not so easy to one-up this drunkard. Maybe we could stealthily take the Pick from him?
Your nimble fingers are amazing! I've tried to borrow from the Conductor many times before but to no avail. Again, I'm so thankful that I brought you with me. Now let's just add to the composition... Place the Pick into the statue's hands - as if it's always been here! Look, the slabs near the statue are moving! They're forming a stairwell down!
-
Poor Lucas
Rayden Stroke
I don't understand how Carlos is connected with the events described in the messages. We need to find all the caches with these notes. The Shadow Lamp showed Carlos's memory: how he was taking a letter from a cache in a streetlamp. Help me find the right one!
Thank you for helping me find this streetlamp cache! There's a note inside: "Lucas is in danger, the Dark Hunter has divided us and is following him. I need help! Comet." Hmm, if I understand correctly, Carlos's son, Lucas, is in danger!
-
Hunter in the Fog
Mr. Black
It's good that Rayden figured out how the Shadow Lamp works. Now we know that in the Foggy Backstreet, there are caches with suspicious messages to Carlos. Let's find a mascaron in the shape of a lion's head! I clearly saw in the projection that it had a scroll in its teeth.
You're quite observant, having immediately noticed the mascaron in the shape of a lion's head on the wall! There was a scroll in its mouth. Here, maybe you can figure out the meaning of this: "In the fog, our group began to be eliminated by the Dark Hunter sent by the Shadow Cult..."
-
Cult's Offer
Rayden Storke
I've studied the note found in the first cache. The message was written in haste, and the text suddenly breaks off. Help me find the mailbox we saw with the Shadow Lamp! Maybe we'll find another message for Carlos in it.
Thank you for finding the mailbox! This is a great place for a cache, because no one has sent mail in the Foggy Backstreet for a long time. And here is the note: "Shadow disciples came to our group and offered us to join them, but we refused..."
-
Survivors in the Fog
Mr. Black
We managed to find out that someone left Carlos messages throughout the Foggy Backstreet. Let's look into every cache we can find - what if Carlos forgot to cover his tracks? Check out that forged ventilation grate, it's easy to hide something behind it.
Ha, I was right! Behind the ventilation grate, there was a message on crystal chip paper: "We're alive! The scavengers taught us how to survive in the fog." Hmm, the handwriting is the same as the Comet's note, which Rayden found in Carlos's workshop.
-
Memories for Safekeeping
Mr. Black
The Pawnbroker surely knew that we're looking for Carlos. If the rumors are true, there should be some useful observations in his notes - no one passes by his shop unnoticed. I found a secret drawer in his desk. Lend me some tools, I'll try to open it!
It worked - the secret drawer is open. And here's the journal with the visit records. Let's see... Finally! It says here that this week, Carlos came to the Pawnshop three times and left his... memories?
-
Secret Observer
Mr. Black
We examined most of the Foggy Backstreet, but there are no traces of Carlos here. It's as if he vanished into thin fog. I also feel someone's eyes on the back of my head. Try to find the doors with peepholes without attracting attention.
Well done! So there's only one peephole - on the Pawnbroker's door. He's most likely watching us. Well, since the Pawnbroker is peeping on us, let's drop by on him. If he watches every passerby like this, then he must've seen Carlos.
-
Underground Bidding
Mr. Black
I was informed that an underground auction is being held today in the Foggy Backstreet. What if Carlos decided to attend this illegal event? The letter might've been an invitation to it. Get some auction signs, we'll go there disguised as bidders.
Great, we have the auction signs! We'll disguise ourselves as guests and get inside the hall. Rumor has it that at these underground auctions, you can even buy anti-fog crystals. I hope Carlos didn't come here to sell a few crystals from the City's reserve.

Professional Robbery
Mr. Black
What if these scavenging bandits lured Carlos to the Foggy Backstreet so that he'd help them crack some tricky lock? Carlos has the best understanding of complex mechanisms in the City. Look, there's a handle from a cracked safe there, let's examine it!
See how professionally this handle was removed from a safe? It's the work of a specialist who knows his trade! Carlos once designed a reliable lock for the Security Service's safe. It's possible that the scavengers used Carlos's skills for their own purposes.

Fresh Tracks
Mr. Black
I hope that Carlos will have something to say in his defense when we find him. Look - fresh shoe prints! Maybe they belong to Carlos? There's something shiny over there, where the tracks disapper into the fog. I can't make out what it is from here. Let's try to get it!
Is it a plate for making coins? Hmm, it could well belong to the person Carlos met here. I know several counterfeiters who worked in the Foggy Backstreet but they've allegedly retired. We need to interrogate them!

Document Dealer
Mr. Black
Let's examine the Foggy Backstreet - maybe Carlos's tracks are still there and we'll get lucky and find him! What's lying on the pavement over there? It looks like a passport. Maybe Carlos dropped it? Let's see it!
This passport is fake! See, there's no photo in it yet. Johnny One-Hundred-Names sells such passports. I didn't think he was still trading in the Foggy Backstreet. When we find Carlos, I'll definitely come back here and shut down this rogue's shop!

Family Reunion
Yui
I think we've earned the right to a big holiday wish. Kind spirits of our ancestors, help us! Assemble all the items that helped you free me and Mei, and we will try to save our father! Call on the City ot help us!

The East is a delicate matter
Detective
The City opened Emperor's Palace for us to put an end to the battle of the gods, but this looks more like an ellipsis. Will the petrified Emperor awaken from the jade spell? Will we ever be able to return the soul of the wise Empress from the land of lost souls? Well, an in good time. Happy Chinese New Year, my friends!
-
Searching in the Dark
Mr. Black
We're having a rough day! First, several lights failed, which endangered the City, and now we're looking for Carlos in the middle of the Foggy Backstreet. I can only assume someone lured him here by blackmail. I'll write everything down in the Investigation Diary, and then we'll continue!

One Step Away from Victory
Martha
This attempt at using a loophole in the heavenly pact to free Yui and Mei from the power of the gods is a huge ristk. The forces of the universe are coming into motion to stop our attempts! The decisive moment has come for the princesses to test their strengths. Let's call on the magic of the City and ask the spirits of the ancestors to not abandon the girls...
Well done! Arranging the final competition for the princesses was a real challenge. So, these are kites. Two kites soar into the sky, each symbolizing a deity. The magic of the City fills them, the sisters start by holding hands... A miracle! The two kites have merged into one!
-
Luck and Strategy
Monk
You're close to deceiving destiny and finishing the competition between the divine dragon and bird, and releasing the young priestesses from their power. But not any competition will do. Find go - the game of emperors and generals!
Imperial go is similar to chess! The outcome of this great game cannot be predicted. It equally demands the mind of a strategist and the instinct of a ruler. Mei and Yui are finishing it... With a draw!
-
Royal sport
Alex
The twins princesses turned out to be very athletic. Invite them to play cuju. I was told about it by a Chinese bloke from my musical group. It's a sort of ancient chinese football. I would play too if I wasn't a ghost. Find a Ball for cuju.
Wow, even in ancient China the cuju ball was fancy - with all these drawings! Give it to the sisters. Let's see who's better at scoring goals.
-
Excitement and Meditation
Inspector
Try to feed the fickle Chinese gods with a game of noble mahjong! Nowadays it has turned into a kind of solitaire, but in Mei and Yui's time, it was a challenging and exciting game; similar to poker. Look for a mahjong set.
A magnificent mahjong set! Mei won. She's better at concentrating and clearing her mind. But the gods didn7t release her and Yui.
-
Champion of Kicks
Detective
I've read that even the elite played the ancient Chinese game of jianzi. My friend, propose that Mei and Yui complete in jianzi! Maybe the gods will leave them alone after that. It's a game where you have to kick a feathered shuttlecock with your feet. You'll have to find it first.
What an impressive Chinese shuttlecock! Just look at these feathers. You can see right away that it was found in Emperor's Palace. Mei and Yui are starting the game!
-
Water Games
Monk
I see a lot of things among the gifts in the throne room that will help us arrange a bloodless contest between princesses Mei and Yui. One of the most noble ones is a race of traditional Chinese dragon boats. Find a boat among the treasures.
This Dragon Boat is beautiful and practical. It can withstand a competition. Mei and Yui get into the boats, take the oars and...
-
Blood Ties
Martha
I'll use the paired relics you've collected for a ritual that will unite Mei and Yui. It should remind the princesses that the blood flowing through their veins is one and the same and that blood is stronger than any magical and even divine power. We will need powerful artifacts.
The symbols of an inseparable couple, kinship and sisterly love are interwined with the magic of the City and the Chinese New Year... Look! This is the Talisman of Harmony - it symbolizes the unity of opposites. The symbol of Mei and Yui's unity. Now they will certainly reconcile... But no, something is wrong.
-
Reliable Support
Monk
For the princesses to reconcile, they must feel the Emperor's paternal spirit. Yui was deprived of her father and condemned him for his painful choise. For Mei, her father was a mentor and military commander. Look for a Pair of Dragons - the symbol of imperial power. It will help unite the sisters.
-
A Frosty Kingdom
Icy
I'm glad you came to save Christmas and Nicholas, and that you're not scolding me for openieng the Gate to the North! There's no danger; I'll chose it immediately after the rescue mission. Hurry, we should get inside before Nicholas's heart freezes! The blizzard's epicenter is inside. Perhaps this is where Nicholas is being held.
With your help, I was able to open the passage to the Polar Quarter. Everything around us is frozen, as if nobody has lived here for a long time. I still don't see the blizzard's source, and any traces of Nicholas or the Snow Queen, if there are any, are covered with snow.

Wings of Motherly Love
Juliette
Poor princesses, there is so much pain and bitterness in their souls, mon ami! How can we reunite them? It's a pity they didn't have a loving mother around - she would have taught them compassion. Let's find Twin Phoenixes. They are connected to the spirit of the Empress, their mother.
These phoenixes symbolize well-being. No wonder Chinese empresses used them as a symbol of feminine power. The princesses might soften up...
-
Family Guardians
Conductor
Princesses Mei and Yui suffered severe trauma when they were separated at infancy. They must have felt defenseless even under the protection of their gods. Find a pair of heavenly Fu dogs. They protect agains eveil.
Maybe these twin Fu dogs will remind the princesses that they need to protect and care for each other, and not try kill the other half.
-
Swan-like Loyalty
Lady Peacock
It won't be easy to reunite the sisters, whose animosity has lasted a lifetime. We need a simple and cheerful symbol... Like Mandarin Ducks! In China, they symbolize loyalty, as do swans. They are friendly and peaceful creatures. Will you took for Mandarin Ducks?
What wonderful Mandarin Ducks, a real work of art! Give them to the sisters. Oh, merciful spirits of the ancestors, let the girls reconcile...
-
Elusive Luck
Huntress
We must find a way to reconcile Yui and Mei. I see symbolically paired talismans in the throne room. With their help we can remind the twins that they are inseparably connected. After all, it's such luck to have a sister. In ancient china, paired fish were considered a symbol of luck. Look for twin fish.
These Goldfish are as agile and elusive as luck. But they are inseparable, as befits two sisters. Look, did they have any effect on Mei and Yui?
-
Scorching Truth
Isabelle
We managed to find out the Yui had a hard life full of trials. She dedicated herself to a deity that she the girl against her family and the dragon god. But why did the princess's patron need this? Let's call on the City's magic to uncover the true source of Yui's hatred.
Yui's all-consuming fury has burst forth. The scorching flame took on the features of a sinister mask adorned with scarlet feathers. This is a cinnabar helmet, the crown of the bird priestess! That's who is behind Yui's hatred for her family!
-
Explosive Power
Huntress
The reports of the imperial commanders mentioned "an unprecedented weapon in the hands of the enemy general", "a rod shooting flames and winged arrows". Was Yui really armed with something like this?! A monstrous weapon of revenge, the reasons for which we do not know. Look for thie phenomenal weapon.
These Winged Fire Arrows were hardly invented by a mere human! Look, and here's the extraordinary flamethrower. There are no arrows left in the Quiver... Only a roll of scarlet paper.
-
Fake of Not?
Cardsharp
At first I took these symbols for an ornament but now, my friend, I can see that it's actually a picture! The contours are barely visible. We need a special developer for this. I stashed the vial that we need a the base of the Angel. Can you get it for me?
So... Carefully apply the solution to the diggers' picture. It's getting more interesting...
-
Fiery Stallion
Mei
During the siege, I received a report that the general of the demon army descended from the skies on a winged horse! His face was hidden by an impenetrable helmet. Could this have been Yui? Look around, maybe a saddle or harness was left behind...
This harness would really suit a winged stallion! What forces did Yui let into her life that allowed her to fly as if she were a demoness or heiress of the gods?!
-
Bread Crumbs
Huntress
According to my calculations, we have to go further underground, but it feels like the air is getting fresher. Very strange... I'm sure the diggers have left clues that can show us the way to the cache. All we need to do is find them! We can do it since there are three of us. Or two, if Herr Cardsharp wimps out.
I can't believe it! We've been roaming the dungeons for so long, only to emerge out on the surface again - right next to the City Centre! Cardsharp, you map is a feke... there's no Digger's Cache! I'm leaving!
-
Demonic Protection
Monk
The warrior maiden Yui enjoys the protection of someone very powerful. Your mages have sensed the aura of protection that surrounds her. Perhaps her secret patron is somehow connected with her overwhelming desire for revenge. Look for protective amulets from her armor.
Yui's protective amulet resembles a demonic bird. I think this is connected to the princess's aggression. Maybe the princess is possessed by a demon?
-
Dragon's Blood
Martha
Have you noticed the bright and deep shade of red that Yui's armor burns with? In the ancient myths of China, I saw references to a mysterious cinnabar paint created by alchemist magicians. Look for the source of this mystical cinnabar among the attackers.
that's the source of the magical paint! Yui told me that she underwent complex training and learned to make the cinnabar herself from mercury and the poisonous sap of the "dragon tree".
-
Military Eduction
Yui
I have nothing to hide! Examine whatever you want if tuat's what the search for the truth requires! You'll understand that my treacherous family deserves revenge. I'm not some bandid, I was raised a warrior. Look around, my code of honor should be here somewhere.
There it is, my Warrior's Code. This box contains all the principles that I follow. The laws of the fiery warrior and the secrets of fire. I'm a noble avenger.

Ascension of the Empress
Martha
The balance between the gods of the Four Winds was distrubed by the birth of the Emperor's heir. But the facts we have collected don't lead us to suspect Princess Mei of anything. To figure this out, I will invoke the spirits of the Emeperor's ancestors and the magic of the City. Will you find some artifacts for the ritual?
Incredible! The ritual created the magnificent crown of the Dragon Princess. It turned Mei into a true Empress, endowed with the power of the Eastern Wind. There are no flaws in it. The gods had accepted Mei! Wait, the spirits have given us a clue - the Emperor's secret scroll.

Under the Banner of the Dragon
Monk
The priestly heirs of this dynasty protect the country in the name of their gods. As soon as they are ready, an image of their patron appears on their banner. But did Mei become a worthy defender of the empire, like her father before her? Look for her banner.
The Azure Dragon on Mei's banner means that she grew stronger and improved her skills enough to become the right hand of her father, the Emperor.
