Quest
These are the story/quests featured in Hidden City. There is a vast number of stories, and please note that the order and categories are unorganized, so it might be a bit difficult to navigate. Thank you for your understanding.

Music of Calm
Laurentine
I’ll be able to retune the instruments so they do no harm. I’ve seen how the Master has tinkered with them. He had a tuning fork that he called a harmonizer. Look for it!
Thank you for the tuning fork! It resonates with the secret frequencies of the instruments, allowing us to reveal and retune them. Its power becomes more pronounced in the City.
-
The Final Chord
Kira Woodville
So, the moment of truth. We have three indistinguishable-looking signatures - possibly belonging to the Master and the Shadow. Artifacts will help us compare them by illuminating all matching spots.
The artifacts clearly show that the signatures from the letter and the Shadow’s dossier match completely. Incredible! This means the Master and the Shadow are the same person!
-
A Secret Message
Kira Woodville
There may be a hidden message in the Master’s letter. I took a photo of it using the Security Service’s chemical camera, which might be able to develop the image without damaging it. Now we need to study it carefully.
A secret signature appeared on the photo! It’s the same one found in the Shadow’s dossier - a signature composed of musical notes. But Laurentine says it’s the Master’s. Why would the writer hide it?
-
Visual Music
Sophia
The Master’s letter is a treasure trove of information! I took a closer look and noticed rows of holes along the edge of the sheet, like those in a paper strip from a music box. It might be an encoded melody. Can you check?
You proved me right! There’s a melody encrypted in the pattern of holes in the letter. Laurentine claims this is part of her and her teacher’s music code, meaning that he’s waiting for her. There seems to be no catch.
-
Fragrant Evidence
Sophia
The Master’s letter is our chance to discover what happened to him. I have an idea! I studied perfumery and learned how to extract the scent from anything, even from the letter! Take a whiff.
You have a keen sense of smell! The paper smells like a mixture of varnish, mechanical oil, and old sheet music. The Master seems to have all the conditions for doing what he loves. I don’t think he’s being held captive.
-
A Recipe from the Past
Kira Woodville
The letter to Laurentine was printed. How can we confirm its authenticity? Printing ink! If the Master used it, it might still be here, among his apprentice’s things. Can you find it?
The ink in this sample matches the ink in the letter. It’s made the ancient Egyptian way, with lead and iron. The Master probably discovered the recipe while traveling to the past, so the letter must be genuine.
-
A Mute Informer
Kira Woodville
The Master’s letter that Laurentine found in the City may contain clues we previously missed. I remember seeing strange green marks on the envelope... But where is it? Can you find it?
Bravo! You found the envelope and discovered the marks were fog mold. I’ve heard that it only grows in distant, foggy areas. That’s a sign the Master may be in the Shadow’s lair.
-
A Reasonable Renunciation
Kira Woodville
Laurentine still refuses to believe her teacher is a villain, and she’s at risk of becoming his accomplice. But we can convince her if we show her the Master’s golden tuning cones from the evidence box. Use your artifacts to shine a light on them.
The light of your artifacts revealed the dark nature of the Master’s tuning cones. He used them to tune the eerie organ that drains the life force from people. Laurentine recognized them as his.
-
Frightening Testimony
Laurentine
Ms. Woodville wants me to give up on the Master, and these new facts about him are frightening. Why did he call me? Maybe the witness’s diary will help clarify some things. Can you decipher it?
You’ve deciphered the witness’s diary about the Master’s terrifying experiments. He described the horrors people endured... Could my teacher really be a monster? No, it can’t be true!
-
Strolling Through Time
Kira Woodville
I think the Master needs Laurentine to carry out his next destructive plan. We need to convince her not to look for him. An audio report from the archive should help us with this. Let’s find it.
That’s the audio report. Thank you. It was recorded by the Detective of the Lower City, who found evidence of the Master’s time travel. The true purpose was unclear, but there were definitely casualties.
-
Creepy Evidence
Laurentine
Everyone’s trying to convince me the Master’s up to something evil and that I shouldn’t help him. But how can I believe that? Someone left me an old article. Help me figure it out!
Can you confirm the accuracy of this article? It claims that years ago, the streets of the Lower City were filled with mummified townspeople whose life force had been stolen by the Master’s organ. Another experiment of his...
-
The Face of Crime
Sophia
Poor Laurentine blindly trusts her teacher, but Kira’s convinced he’s dangerous. And I completely agree with her after watching the video of his atrocities. You should see it for yourself!
This video shows a young woman from the Lower City from whom the Master took away years of her life. That’s true evil! Have you seen those wrinkles? Horrible! Luckily, she was saved in the end and appeared young again.
-
The Melody of Death
Kira Woodville
The Master isn’t the knowledge-hungry genius Laurentine believes he is, and I’ll prove it to her. Earlier today, I requested copies of some data from the Lower City. Here’s a model of an organ. Do you recognize it?
You’re right - this is a copy of the Master’s organ, the cause of time anomalies that took years of life away from the townspeople. Laurentine saw one of these in her teacher’s drawings. Now she’ll know what it’s for.
-
A Souvenir with a Secret
Laurentine
I think the time anomalies are the Master’s doing, and I could just prove it. Here’s his parting gift - a locket that I’ve never been able to open. Could you lend me some artifacts?
The power of the artifacts opened the locket, and their light revealed a hidden message. I knew the Master wouldn’t just leave me and disappear! He thought of everything. Look, there are coordinates!
-
A True Maestro
Laurentine
When the Master was with me in the future, time passed normally. The only oddity was his constant striving for perfection. He disappeared, leaving some corrections to my notes. See if you can find them.
You’ve found the notes with the Master’s edits. Thank you! He marked everything here in red... I blamed myself, thinking he left because I had disappointed him. But maybe he just decided to come back to the City?
-
The God Is in the Details
Laurentine
The Master could indeed be the cause of the anomalies. I always felt that he had secrets from me, that he created something more than just instruments. Do you see any broken strings around here?
Thank you. This is a coil of strings that the Master discarded when he found they weren’t strong enough. He was so obsessive about selecting them! He was like that with everything - there were no trifles for him.
-
Creative Symbiosis
Laurentine
Want to know more about the time anomalies in the City? Only the Master is capable of those! He thought I was very talented and made something special for me. Do you see this tool?
Using this tool, the Master tuned the violin he made for me - and when I played, time seemed to freeze! He said that was my own virtuosity...
-
Good Times
Laurentine
Why did my instruments begin to distort time? There must be a connection with the Master here! I met him at my concert, and since then, we’ve been inseparable. There was a photo album here somewhere...
You found the photo album! Yes, it’s a bit strange. During my travels with the Master, we took tons of photos, but his face was blurred in every single one. He joked he wasn’t very photogenic.
-
Proof from the Future
Laurentine
I’m starting to understand why the instruments are behaving strangely. Now a lot of things are becoming clear to me. I’ll explain! But first, find an old poster for my concert.
Thanks for finding the poster! It shows the city and the exact date of my concert. I actually came to you miraculously from a completely different place. I think for you, I’m from the future!
-
Hidden in Plain Sight
Sophia
Ugh, Kira doesn’t believe that the time anomalies were caused by Laurentine’s music. What if it’s not exotic instruments that create them but ordinary ones? Let’s check! Could you lend me some artifacts?
The artifacts revealed an anomaly in Laurentine’s musical instruments - I brought a watch near them, and it began to run faster. Be careful! Don’t touch the strings - the consequences could be dire!
-
A Ringing Melody
Kira Woodville
Laurentine has a lot of strange instruments, and one of them might affect time. I saw a strange harp with crystals here. Maybe they’re what we’re looking for? Help me find it.
Great, you’ve found the harp! I just touched the crystals, and they rang in a multitude of different pitches. It sounds magical but doesn’t affect time in any way. I guess there’s nothing special about these crystals.
-
On the Wings of Art
Laurentine
My music isn’t to blame for time going crazy in the City. You won’t find any dangerous instruments here - no matter how eccentric they look! Go on, see if you can find the winged piano.
This winged piano is my own design. It may look like a powerful artifact, but it’s just a perfectly normal piano made into a prop for the show. Go check it out yourself!
-
A Musical Miracle
Laurentine
I don’t know what you’re hoping to find here - those time anomalies aren’t my doing. I’ll prove it by telling you everything about any "suspicious" item you want. We can start with the uncello.
The instrument you’re scrutinizing so intently, eager to blame for everything, is the uncello, a violin with a glass resonator. It sounds divine, but it’s harmless. Give it a try!
-
Sounds of the Earth
Sophia
I’m sure Laurentine caused the time anomalies in the City, but we need proof. Let’s look around! There’s a suspicious-looking instrument here that resembles an artifact. What do you think it is?
Good point! This is indeed a stone phonograph, which "reads" the rough surface of the stone. I took a chance and turned it on. The melody sounds mediocre - dangerous for the ears, but not for time.
-
A Lightning Instrument
Kira Woodville
Perhaps one of Laurentine’s instruments is causing the time anomalies? Something similar has happened in the City before. Let’s find out! I noticed a strange item sparkling with lightning. Have you seen it?
Laurentine says this amazing instrument is called a zeusaphone, or a singing Tesla coil. It creates music with electric arcs. Unusual, but nothing anomalous.
-
The Music of Moments
Kira Woodville
Someone in the City is playing with time. They say Laurentine, a visiting singer and composer, is involved. Music and anomalies - that rings a bell. Let me write down the details of the case in the Diary!
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
An Artist without Audience
Kira Woodville
I’m glad to see you here at the glade. Together, we’ll definitely handle these time anomalies! I have a theory that they’re linked to the musician who arrived in that van. Let’s check it out!
It’s pretty here. The camp was laid out with style and passion, and the van is just lovely. Several instruments seem suspicious, though... Where’s their owner? I have a few questions for her.
-
By the Call of Music
Sophia
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
Friendly Reception
Loukia
The individual parts of the talisman won’t restore harmony between Carlos and the forest. We need to connect the pieces and charge the complete talisman with positive energy. Can you give me some artifacts?
Your artifacts did the trick. We’ve created a powerful talisman, the Harmony of Nature! From now on, as long as Carlos carries the talisman with him when he goes hiking, the forest will know he is a friend.
-
A Pocket Rainbow
Carlos Light
I want to regain my good standing with the forest, and can make the Infinite Spectrum myself. We already have the necessary components. But I could use your help crafting it, in case I miss a step.
We did it! This Infinite Spectrum will let the forest know I’m a friend, so I can hopefully continue to come here without being stalked by cursed plants.
-
A Talisman of Friendship
Loukia
Let’s create a special talisman that will restore the peaceful equilibrium between Carlos and the forest. We’ll need a primordial fruit. I have one somewhere. Can you find it for me?
Fantastic! This primordial fruit will serve as the base layer of the protective talisman we’ll give to Carlos. But we still need the second component, something I don’t have... an Infinite Spectrum.
-
A Severed Bond
Loukia
I believe all of this is happening because Carlos made the forest feel threatened. The spirit of the forest senses his connection to evil, and is trying to drive him out. The Blade of the Dead Roots could sever the bond. Can you grab it for me?
You’re almost as sharp as this blade. I’ve used it to cut Carlos’s connection to the evil that he unknowingly brought into the forest. We’d better provide Carlos with extra protection.
-
A Silent Spy
Loukia
The way to beat cursed plants is to know exactly what it is you’re fighting. I’ll open the shutter, so you can carefully pluck one leaf from the stem. Let’s find out what this thing is.
I recognize this leaf. It’s Ivy of Order. The second Carlos touched it, new stems formed and wrapped around his hand. I can free him, but what’s making the ivy so aggressive?
-
Herbal Abc
Loukia
To understand what kind of plant attacked us and why, we’ll need to search through my ancestors’ records. Find my Grimoire of the Dark Forest. That book is the definitive guide to aggressive flora.
You found my grimoire. It mentions a few cursed plant species that can stalk people over long distances or periods of time. But first, we need to identify which one we’re dealing with.
-
Racing with the Wind
Loukia
Everything’s ready for Lucas to catch the tree dragon. It’s so fast! Lucas still might not catch it. But a few artifacts could give him that last bit of "oomph" he needs. Let me borrow some.
Wow. You have some powerful artifacts! They seem to have formed a special bond between Lucas and the dragon. It’s following him of its own volition. I guess there’s no need for a cage at all.
-
A Dragon Trap
Loukia
Lucas insists he’s fine, and that he feels ready to chase down the dragon. The cloudiness in his eyes has dissipated, at least. Let’s find a beryl cage where we can keep the dragon once it’s caught.
That cage is perfect. While we were searching for it, Lucas had a flashback to his childhood. I’ll note this side effect of the dexterity decoction in my potion book.
-
An Unexpected Guest
Loukia
I only wanted to help Lucas catch the dragon, but it seems I’ve awoken some dormant power inside him. We should be able to contain it with a pair of ethereal shackles. Please find them.
Good job finding the shackles. Fortunately, we don’t need them anymore. Lucas says his power is under control. It was bestowed upon him by the fog. Yes, "that" fog. Lucas has a connection to it.
-
Faster than Anyone
Loukia
Lucas will need superhuman speed to catch the tree dragon. I know just the thing: a dexterity decoction. But, where did I put it? Is it still over there, on my potion shelf?
Yes, this is it. This dexterity decoction will give Lucas a huge boost in speed, and... uh oh. The book didn’t say anything about side effects. Why are his eyes clouded?
-
A Smokescreen
Loukia
The forest must approve of Lucas’s dragon hunt. He still smells like he doesn’t belong, though, so I need a hospitality bundle to mask his scent. It’s hanging with my dried herbs. Could you get it for me?
Smells good, right? The smoke from the hospitality bundle will send a friendly signal to the forest. But what’s this? Why is the smoke bending around Lucas...? Is there a draft? I’ll check from the other side.
-
In Unison with Nature
Loukia
To catch the tree dragon, Lucas needs to create a temporary bond between himself and the forest, so the dragon won’t be afraid of him. This will require the spirit web medallion. Help him find it.
You found my old spirit web medallion! But there’s something wrong. It started vibrating when Lucas put it on, and part of the spectrum grew discolored. But, everything seems fine now.
-
A Root Cause
Loukia
The solstice is almost over, but the thousand-faced sprout hasn’t yet sprung. We may need to strengthen its roots. A few charged artifacts could imbue the seed with the power of the forest. Do you have any?
The artifacts bathed the seed in verdant light, and the sprout broke free of its shell! Flora seems happy. If her intentions weren’t good, nothing would have happened. Still, I wonder why she needs it.
-
Grains of Illusions
Loukia
Growing a thousand-faced sprout isn’t exactly beginner-friendly, but Flora’s persistence is admirable. Only one step left. Sprinkle a pinch of mirage dust on the seed to help it break free.
All done. The mirage dust will give the sprout a magical boost to help it transform. You didn’t give it too much, I hope? Too large of a dose could have the opposite effect.
-
To the Last Drop
Loukia
The seed must be exposed to water from the spring of light before the thousand-faced sprout can take root. I have some left in my bottle. Go ahead and water it. Only a single drop, please.
Good eye! One drop from the spring of light is all the little sprout needs to find its strength. Just warn Flora that the seed is still delicate. She can’t make a mistake, or it might not germinate.
-
A Fragile Tool
Flora Alvarez
Planting a thousand-faced sprout requires a special trowel called a crystal leaf. I know I brought one with me, but can’t remember where I left it. Can you help me find it?
You found the crystal leaf. I dig it! I’ll use this trowel to turn the soil where the thousand-faced sprout will be planted, like Loukia instructed. The sun’s about to set. We need to hurry.
-
A Subtle Connection
Loukia
Flora needs a thousand-faced sprout. And for it to emerge from its seed, we need a phantom thread. I wove this ultra-thin thread from a special web. And... oops, I already dropped it. Do you see it anywhere?
You found the phantom thread! This thread is used to bind different kinds of entities. We’ll tie the sunbeam, the breath of the wind, and Flora’s pure intentions all together within the seed of the thousand-faced sprout.
-
A Fruit of the Leap Year
Loukia
Flora wants to grow a thousand-faced sprout. She’ll need a seed from the cone of an everlasting cedar that was picked in a leap year. I’m sure I’ve got one stored somewhere. Let’s have a look.
Yep, this is the cone we’re looking for. Its seed is quite fragile, so be careful when giving it to Flora. I believe her intentions are pure, but she still hasn’t told me what they are.
-
A Paradise on Earth
Detective
The Moonshore Restaurant looks like an oasis of luxury surrounded by palm trees. I’d be more than happy to vacation here after our investigation, but now it’s time to focus. Let’s check this place out.
I don’t see anything unusual from out here except that huge movie screen. A restaurant showing movies? I doubt it has anything to do with the Collector, but we should still take a closer look.
-
Luck Is on Your Side
Yuri
The winner of the festive games is about to be chosen! Who will become the owner of the lucky charm? Charge the Forest Sun with your artifacts - it will point to the winner.
Thank you for charging the Forest Sun with your artifacts. Its ribbon-like rays are pointing to... you! Wow, congratulations! From now on, you’ll be gifted with good luck, especially in the summer!
-
The Salvaged Summer
Kira Woodville
It turns out that the storm in the City had nothing to do with Violet’s threat. And Loukia wasn’t a troublemaker, but a kind herbalist who helped us save the townspeople from the enraged spirit of the forest.
-
A Cloudy Prisoner
Loukia
We were able to calm the enraged spirit of the forest, but the echoes of the storm still roam the City, though not as strong. Let’s trap them in a painted vessel and seal them securely with your artifacts.
Your artifacts have firmly sealed the storm in the painted vessel. Now summer reigns outside once again. We were able to save both the City and the forest. We can now celebrate the summer solstice in peace!
-
An Alluring Aroma
Loukia
My great-grandmother wrote in her book that the spirit of the forest loves treats with honey. It’s a sure way to fully appease it and chase away the storm. Let’s make the spirit some fresh buns.
Thank you for helping me make the buns. The spirit of the forest doesn’t like to show itself to people, so let’s leave the buns and honey on the windowsill. The spirit will smell the aroma and come to eat.
-
Colors of Summer
Loukia
The spirit of the forest is gradually regaining its good mood, but dark and menacing clouds still hang over the City! Help me spread out a rainbow knitted from magic yarn.
We spread out the knitted rainbow and made the dark clouds part. Look, the sun just peeked out! We managed to cheer up the spirit of the forest. Just a little more, and the storm will be over!
-
A Waltz Among the Clouds
Loukia
To calm the spirit of the forest, we need to show it that we’re not afraid of it and that we’re not going to harm it. I read how to do it in the book. Help me release the fireflies from the jar.
Thank you for releasing the forest fireflies. They twirl merrily in a delicate dance, calming the wind and rain, while the dark sky makes their bright lanterns shine even more. What a beautiful sight!
-
A Willow’s Cry
Loukia
My great-grandmother’s book says that we must find a way to shout over the wind so that the spirit of the forest can hear us. I have an idea! I’ll play my willow fiddle. Please find it.
Thank you for finding my willow fiddle! The sounds may seem soft, but they’ll still pierce through the loud gusts of wind... The spirit of the forest has heard them - the storm is settling.
-
A Resilient Light
Loukia
In order to appease the spirit of the forest and calm the storm it summoned, we need the spirit to notice us. The book says it’s best to use an inextinguishable flame. Can you help me light it?
Thank you for lighting the inextinguishable flame! I took it outside, and the wind and rain nearly blew it out, but the wick stayed lit. The wind seems to have died down - I think the spirit of the forest has noticed us.
-
A Healed Heart
Loukia
Now that we’ve connected the parts of the amulet, its energy is regenerating, healing the Heart of the Forest. If you lend me some artifacts, I can speed up the process and strengthen the amulet.
Your artifacts have added strength to the amulet and created a protective shell around it. From now on, nothing can harm it! The Heart of the Forest has been restored, which means the danger has passed.
-
Silvery Threads
Loukia
While the oak resin will bind together the parts of the Heart of the Forest, let’s secure the amulet with special threads just in case. I’ve got one spool of forest cobweb left. Can you find it?
Great! The forest cobweb thread will securely and carefully bind the parts of the Heart of the Forest together. And with its reflective properties, it will also protect it from the scorching rays of the sun.
-
Ancient Power
Loukia
We need to physically unite the two parts of the Heart of the Forest, but ordinary methods won’t do. Let’s bind the amulet with ancient oak resin! I have some in here somewhere. Can you help me find it?
You’ve found the ancient oak resin, which holds the power of these centuries-old trees - there’s nothing better to restore the Heart of the Forest! We’ll strengthen it with resin, and all its cracks will heal.
-
Native Herbs
Loukia
The Heart of the Forest was created to protect the forest and only feels good within it. So, we need to recreate the forest’s atmosphere to heal it. Can you find my pouch of morning herbs?
Ah, my pouch of morning herbs! Thank you! I gathered these herbs in the first rays of the summer sun. We need to cover the Heart of the Forest in these herbs for it to recover.
-
Lunar Healing
Loukia
We need a special flower to heal the Heart of the Forest. Luckily, I happen to have picked one just before the storm erupted. Find the midnight flower. It should be in here somewhere.
This midnight flower can only be found in the forest at midnight on a warm summer night. It gains strength from the moon’s glow and acquires healing properties - just what the Heart of the Forest needs.
-
A Living Soul
Loukia
The Heart of the Forest is its soul, the living energy of nature. We should treat the amulet with great care to restore it. First, we must find my canteen of spring water.
Thank you for finding my canteen. I cast a spell on the spring water and sprinkled the Heart of the Forest with it. It’s a sure way to calm the living amulet and make it feel safe.
-
Good Intentions
Loukia
Carlos said that a part of the amulet broke off by accident, and he didn’t mean to destroy it. If that’s the case, we can restore the Heart of the Forest! But there’s something we need to check first. Can you lend me some artifacts?
Look! The glow of the artifacts has enveloped Carlos’s knife - the blade that touched the amulet bears no dark energy. This means there was no malice in his act, and the Heart of the Forest can be healed!
-
A Protector of the Forest
Carlos Light
Did that bird just fly into the window? I think that’s the bird that was watching me in the forest. But it flies around so fast, it’s hard for me to say for sure. Can you help me catch it?
Thank you for catching that feathered watcher! That’s definitely the bird. I remember it well: the bird suddenly attacked me when I tried to get the Heart of the Forest. Was it guarding it or something?
-
The Trodden Trails
Carlos Light
I spent hours in the forest looking for a light source for my lantern and wandered into the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, I noticed woven ribbons on the trees. I saw a similar one around here. Can you find it?
Ah, the woven ribbon. Thank you for finding it. These marked the trails in the forest that led me to the Heart of the Forest. It was shining brightly, and I thought I could use it for my lantern.
-
Forest Treats
Carlos Light
What do I know about the Heart of the Forest? Nothing, really. But I’d say it’s the forest berries - they taste so good, they make my heart sing! Those are the ones in that basket on the table, aren’t they?
I picked berries like the ones in the basket, I won’t deny it. At first, I was afraid to try them in case they were poisonous, but eventually the hunger from my long journey took over.
-
A Bird Paradise
Carlos Light
There was no storm in the forest when I went. It’s a lovely place, even though I got a little lost. Someone obviously cares about it - I saw bird feeders there, and I think there’s one around here too... Can you help me find it?
That’s right, I saw a bird feeder just like this one in the forest - but it was broken. And now it’s already fixed? How about that! Wait... why am I being detained? Was I trespassing on private property? If that’s the case, I’m sorry!
-
A New Development
Carlos Light
Did I start the storm? Not at all! Why would I? I like to create things that are good for the City, not things that destroy it. Here, I’ve brought along a mockup of my new lantern. Take a look for yourself.
I got so carried away with this lantern mockup that I didn’t even notice the storm at first! I’ve been spending all my time on this new development, looking for a replacement for the anti-fog crystals. I even looked in the forest.
-
A Piece of Serenity
Loukia
The storm was caused by someone who stole part of the Heart of the Forest, the energy that protects natural order. Lend me some charged artifacts so I can show you proof of this crime.
Your artifacts have illuminated the amulet. See how little energy is left in it? The amulet was created by a forest spirit, but now that it’s been robbed, that enraged spirit is destroying everything around it!
-
Poor Little Bunny
Loukia
The storm in the City is the forest’s fury, stripped of its energy. All the forest dwellers have already felt it. There’s a little bunny I rescued - it’s somewhere in the hut. Find it.
This thirsty little bunny came to the stream, but there was no water, only a devastating drought. The one who had always protected the forest dwellers had become the embodiment of wrath.
-
Burning Wrath
Loukia
After the amulet’s destruction, a blind wrath reigned over the forest and fell upon the City! I saw the trees burning from within. I even brought a branch home. Have you seen it?
I took this blazing branch to try to put out the fire inside it. But no matter how hard I tried, it was all in vain. No method would suffice - the flames of wrath were stronger!
-
A Forest Robbery
Loukia
The disturbing changes in the plants led me to believe the forest’s amulet was in trouble. And now my hunch is confirmed - I found an open cache and brought it with me. Take a look.
This open cache used to be a repository for the forest’s energy, but part of that energy has vanished, and with it, the forest’s natural order. Oh, I know for sure who started the storm in the City. And I know why!
-
A Dangerous Plant
Loukia
The frosty leaves weren’t the only harbinger of trouble. I recently went to pick some medicinal herbs, but instead, I found a poisonous flower! Here, take a look - but don’t touch it!
There’s never been a poisonous flower like this in the forest before. It’s a bad omen. I know you don’t trust me, but there’s no time for doubt. We must stop the storm before it’s too late!
-
Frost in the Summer
Loukia
You’ve come to help me? At last! Mr. Black questioned me, but he didn’t believe a word I said. But I know how to stop the storm, and I’ll tell you all about it. Find a frozen leaf in my hut.
I can see you’re surprised. You’re holding a frozen leaf, even though it’s summertime! When I first noticed the frost on the leaves in the forest, I couldn’t understand what had happened.
-
A Tempest in a Flask
Kira Woodville
There are many flasks of tinctures in the herbalist’s hut, but I found one with a cloud inside. Or is it the fog? Maybe that’s what Loukia used to cause the storm. Lend me a few artifacts so I can activate the flask.
Whoa! Your artifacts illuminated the foggy clouds, and I saw a real lightning bolt flash inside the flask! It looks like Loukia used the fog to cause the storm in the City. I’ll report it to Black.
-
A Song of the Wind
Kira Woodville
The sound of wind is getting stronger - and I heard something just now. It could’ve been caused by the vibrations of an acoustic device that mimics the howling wind. Something like a metal bowl. Have you seen one?
Great! You’ve found it! Do you hear this? When I run the resonator around the edge of this metal bowl, it sounds just like the wind howling outside the window. We should send the bowl for forensic examination.
-
The House of Rain
Kira Woodville
If Loukia’s to blame for this, there must be something in her house that she used to summon the storm. Something unusual, related to wind and rain. Let’s look.
What a nice find! It’s a ceremonial walking stick. When you were getting it out, the pendants on it started tinkling, mimicking the sound of rain. This could be the technology we’ve been looking for.
-
A Secret Message
Kira Woodville
If we found a whistle for sending secret signals, there might be some of Loukia’s correspondence with Violet here. I’m sure it’s encrypted, but I saw a necklace with a cipher around here somewhere. Can you help me find it?
Yes, that’s the necklace with a cipher! The marks on it are placed in a certain order, which could be used to encode messages. Let’s send the necklace for inspection.

A Secret Signal
Kira Woodville
The best way to hide something is to put it in plain sight. Let’s look for evidence against Loukia on her shelves. That ceramic horse over there stands out amongst the vials of tinctures. Can you get it?
Thank you. Oh, this ceramic horse is actually a disguised whistle! It sounds like a bird’s trill. Could it be Loukia’s way of calling the wind or signaling Violet?

The Lord of the Wind
Kira Woodville
We have to keep our eyes peeled. The technology that caused the storm is likely disguised. Look, there’s a figurine that looks a lot like a robot prototype. Let’s take a closer look at it.
Do you see that? The robot prototype holds a screen with symbols resembling wind currents! Let’s send the figurine to the Security Service’s science department to see if it has any secret technology.

A Double Task
Kira Woodville
A storm is coming, and the herbalist Loukia says it will destroy the City. What’s behind her bold claim, and is it connected to Violet’s threat to Black? I’ll look into it and record my findings in the Diary.

New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.

She’s Not What She Seems
Kira Woodville
I take back what I said - it’s not a simple herbalist’s hut at all. It’s all peace and quiet near Loukia’s house - even though there are severe winds all over the City! I wonder what’s inside... Let’s check it out!
It’s so cozy in this hut, I almost don’t want to disturb the peace. But Black is certain that dangerous technology is hidden here. We must find it to stop the storm. Let’s do it!
-
A Hut on the Forest Edge
Kira Woodville
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!

Following the Lights
Rayden Storke
We need to follow the sparks to find Kira. She’s been talking about them nonstop for the last few days - she’s obsessed with them! It looks like the sparks are hovering over the Mansion of Illusions. Let’s take a closer look.
The Architect used to live in this mansion, but no one’s seen her in a long time... You know, if Kira escaped from the City, I’d be nothing but happy for her! But the crimson sparks over the house don’t look very inviting.

A Lost Id
Isabelle
We still need more time to figure out the origin of this unusual weather, but the storm is so strong the magma reactor can no longer effectively ward off the snow. Lend me some artifacts to boost it.
Impressive! Your artifacts not only dispersed the storm clouds... they melted the snowdrifts, too. Look, there’s a name tag in that puddle. Professor?! He’s got some explaining to do.
-
The Epicenter of Events
Isabelle
We need to locate the epicenter of the anomaly. There, we are certain to find both the cause and the culprit of the storm. We need a landscape locator. There’s one in my bag, if you don’t mind grabbing it.
The landscape locator shows that the epicenter of the anomaly is directly above the restaurant. It’s looking more and more like this snowfall was intended to disrupt Daisy and Dylan’s wedding.
-
Suspicious Devices
Detective
We will uncover whoever caused this out-of-season snow storm, but we need solid evidence first. I saw something that looked like lab equipment in that snowdrift over there. Let’s dig it out.
This discarded piece of lab equipment contains the same impurities found in the snow. Isabelle checked. We’re probably not dealing with a mage here, but a scientist.
-
What’s the Forecast?
Detective
While Isabelle is searching for the anomaly that may have caused the snowfall, we can take steps to exclude any natural origins. There’s a sign on the beach showing the weather forecast. Let’s see what it says.
I see. According to the sign, the weather should be sunny and hot today. The spirits of nature gave the forecast, so it should be accurate. Someone must have intentionally caused this snowfall... perhaps to ruin Daisy and Dylan’s wedding?
-
Hot Energy
Isabelle
We still don’t know what’s causing the snow storm, but that’s no reason to let it bury the restaurant right before Daisy and Dylan’s wedding. Help me install a magma reactor above the establishment to keep the snow at bay.
Well done. The magma reactor will vaporize the snowflakes in mid-air, before they can accumulate around the restaurant. We still have time to learn if this snowfall is natural, or the result of something more sinister.
-
Suspicious Composition
Isabelle
First, we need to find out what’s causing this snow storm, and then stop it. Let’s take a snow sample so I can study its composition. Would you mind preparing one for me?
This snow sample is perfect. My analysis shows particles of gunpowder, dyes, and magic dust are all present in the snow. But they could be contaminants from the City’s atmosphere, which simply fell along with the snow.

A Designer Look
Adeline Svensson
Do you hear that rustling? I’m sure whatever’s making that noise will lead us to an answer about Daisy. Lend me some artifacts to make a hidden lantern. Its light can’t be seen through the windows.
Your artifacts charged the lantern, and I see... a guinea pig in a cute outfit? Oh. I get it now. Daisy sews clothing for animals. Not exactly breaking news, but it’s definitely something.
-
A Skeleton in the Closet
Adeline Svensson
This situation with Daisy is getting under my skin. I spotted a fluffy cat in one of her closets. It wasn’t moving, hopefully as a result of the dazing potion. We need to help that poor animal. I’ll stand by the front door, while you go in there and save the cat.
Okay, I was not expecting this. This fluffy boy isn’t dazed at all. It’s just a toy. But why are there all these stuck needles? Is Daisy dabbling in dark magic? Maybe it’s time to interview her.
-
An Immobilized Target
Adeline Svensson
We’re making progress. While I was at Daisy’s for another dress fitting earlier, I caught a glimpse of an empty bottle with a unique shape. Martha’s the only person who has bottles like that. Might be worth a look.
The purple tincture in this bottle is a dazing potion. Martha has confirmed that Daisy recently requested one, supposedly to help her pet calm down. What kind of animal is Daisy’s pet?
-
A Dangerous Manicure
Adeline Svensson
Regarding Daisy, I felt like I was getting warmer when I stopped by her house and told her I wanted a new dress. I found these weird, round clippers in her toolbox. Ever seen these before?
The Huntress has confirmed your theory that these are claw clippers. They’re not for sewing at all. But why would Daisy need these? We need to get to the bottom of this. And fast.
-
Vague Intentions
Adeline Svensson
I followed Daisy to the Moonshore to try to figure out what she was up to, and noticed a few photos fall out of her bag. They should still be there, right next to the entrance. Let’s see if we can find them.
What the...?! The marks on these photos make the animals look like they’ve been torn apart. Why would Daisy do this? Is she planning some kind of ritual? Or a sacrifice?
-
A Fluffy Clue
Adeline Svensson
Daisy is acting strange. Nobody hides in the bushes with a camera for the thrill of it. I found something at her hiding place. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this werewolf fur?
You’re right. This does look more like dog fur than werewolf fur, which doesn’t make as good of a story. But why is Daisy being so secretive about it? Let’s continue keeping an eye on her.
-
The Mystery on the Surface
Martha
My vision showed this part clearly. That treasure hidden under the restaurant is about to be ours. It’s deep underground, but I can raise it with a special spell. Just need some artifacts to enhance my magic - if you’d be so kind.
The combination of my spell and your artifacts have raised the hidden source to the surface. It’s a locked chest. What could be inside? I sense an ancient magical being... powerful, too.
-
A Three-Headed Guardian
Juliette
I don’t know if the treasure under the restaurant is connected to that sculpture on the roof of a three-headed toad, but it wasn’t there before, which tells me it might be a clue. Can you check it out?
Ah, I couldn’t have done it without you! According to Martha, this three-headed toad is the third seal. The moment of truth has arrived. Let’s find out what’s hidden under the Moonshore.
-
The Singing Deep
Martha
The seals protecting the magical source underneath the Moonshore are quite powerful. So, this is trickier than I anticipated. At one point during my vision, I saw a multi-voiced kalimba. Try to find it down by the water.
Your eyes are sharper than a medium’s! This is the multi-voiced kalimba from my vision. It plays the Song of Eternal Deep, preventing that which is hidden from ever being found. Probably some mage’s favorite treasure.
