Quest
There are quest of Hidden City. Let's solve hidden city, mystery adventure game and magnificant stories.
-
Alexander's Courage
Mayor
The next item belonged to a legendary man - the unconquerable general Alexander the Great. Find his royal seal.
According to legend, Alexander never took off this ring, so it constantly absorbed the general's courage.
-
All Bets Are Down
Cardsharp
We also need a more serious game for real players. I'm talking about roulette! Do you know the thrill of playing roulette? Your heart pounds and skips a beat... Then when you win, you jump for joy and are ready to make more and more bets. I propose that we put a roulette table right by the craps table. Let the visitors choose where to play.
Thanks to you, my dreams are coming true very quickly. Only a few are able to continue to play after roulette. But these few are unique talents!
-
Odysseus's Bravery
Mayor
Find the bow and arrow of Odysseus. Legends of his bravery and courage have been with us for many centuries.
Odysseus's Bow hasn't lost its quality over the years. They knew how to make things last in t he good ancient times.
-
Antiques and Rarities
Huntress
I heard that you fought a mummy? Mummies can give you ancient artifacts that have laid dormant in the catacombs for thousands of years. They say that some of them, like ritual jewellery for example, can give you bravery in any battle. Could you get one of them for me?
You're so brave! No no, you can keep the jewellery - this was just a test of courage. You passed it with flying colours.
-
Like cures like
Isabelle
Anomalies make clearing locations harder and take up more energy. But I found a way to banish them with the help of items. For example, boggarts are quite fearful and ordinary firecrackers make them scatter. Find firecrackers in the City and try to banish the boggarts.
As I told you, the boggarts withdrew as soon as they heard the claps of the firecrackers. The location has become quiet and you can continue looking for the items here.
-
Battle a Mummy
Detective
How lucky! Here it is, roaming the Sewers. Set the dart on fire and prepare for action.
You're a real friend! I'd never have sorted it out alone. And all this because of that wretched scrap of paper! That guy made a bad deal and could have got something better. Unless there are more valuable things behind that door. You keep the papyrus - it'll be a good reminder of the adventure.
-
Sweets Lovers
Isabelle
Today, I'll tell you about the boggarts. They're the most harmless anomalies in the city. They love mischief, petty thieving and driving the townspeople insane. Did you hear all the commotion at the station? That's the boggarts pestering the Conductor. They carried off his favorite flask. Move carefully and the boggarts won't cause you any harm.
These little beasties do have a sense of humour - hiding the Conductor's flask in such a way. Now it's quiet again at the Station all the boggarts have left.
-
Flammable!
Detective
It just crossed my mind - we'll set the stinker on fire! Its bandages are very dry so they'll burn in a flash and the mummy itself is just an embalmed corpse. What do you think? We need something burning, preferable an object we could shoot or throw - maybe a dart? Then we can run away if our idea doesn't pan out.
You guys are reckless. And you, Detective... at last you're adapting to your situation. I'll be glad to help. Here, take these darts and a lighter. There's not much gas, but it'll be enough.
-
Precious Relic
Juliette
The cipher said, "Only the Chosen One who finds the five flowers will find the City's Gift of Ages." We have all five passionflowers. A beautiful bouquet, but that's not enough. We won't be able to find the Gift of Ages without the City's magic. So, what are we waiting for? You're our only hope.
Look! The passionflowers are changing and turning into precious crystals... Blessed Julie, they shine so brightly! We've received an amazing artifact, which is just as beautiful as the tropical flowers it is made of.
-
Warning
Cardsharp
A mummy appeared in the City, you say? Of course! The smell of decay, the swish of bandages, the sound of shuffling feet... Why didn't I think of that? The guy I lost to was looking for inexpensive, ancient Egyptian trinkets. So he decided to make a cat's paw out of me - what a beast! Now a monster runds about the City through his fault! We hould warn the Detective so he can look for it, too. He's a law enforcement officer, after all. Maybe you could tell him?
A mummy?! That's dangerous - why didn't you tell me at once? I'd think it was bloody Halloween if w weren't in the City. Let's return to the Sewers and hope it didn't get too far yet. On the way we can decide how to fight it.
-
Witch's Signs
Martha
You're one step away from learning your fate from the Spirits! Let me give you a hint: you're going to need Wiccan Runes. They're used in witchcraft. They're the most reliable tool for telling fortunes. I know from experience.
Sanded pieces of chalcedony, the finest carving... any fortune teller would be jealous of runes such as these. Congratulations - you're about to learn your fourtunes!
-
Group Game
Cardsharp
I propose that we should have a separate room with a table for playing Craps. Many players will be able to play at the same time. I'm sure that you support this idea.
I was not mistaken about you, dear friend! I'm sure that the excitement of Craps will make players look for a more serious game.
-
Remnants of a Picnic
Conductor
I noticed a couple of glasses on the edge of the fountain. Weird, isn't it? It's believed to be impossible to enter here. Not a soul around, but someone was drinking out of glasses? Bring the glasses and take a closer look at them.
Ah, the glasses! I'm scared just taking them in my hands. And what's in them? Wine? Hmm, it's blood in the glass! It seems that real vampires have appeared in the City of Shadows. And did you notice traces of lipstick on one of the glasses?
-
Means of Transportation
Huntress
I'm very worried about why Jack didn't show up. And this whole atmosphere around us: whispering, the sound of footsteops... I turn around, but nobody's there. It's creepy here. Also, I noticed Jack's cape by the trees. Maybe the Spirit himself is there? Bring the cape, we'll examine it.
How odd. What you found is not a cape. It's wings, like the wings of a bat. I've never seen such huge wings. What sort of creature might they belong to?
-
Something's Wrong
Valerie
It's strange... the Halloween Spirit invited us to his realm, but he hasn't shown up. Let's look around, it's possible Jack left some couse? Pumpkins, candles, skulls,... All traditional decorations for Halloween, but I think I noticed Jack's knife at the fountain. Bring it, please.
Lo and behold, it really is Jack's knife. And what's on the brade? Wow, it's blood! Why is there blood on Jack's knife? What a discovery.
-
Helloween Keeper
Mayor
Why did Jack invite us to his realm? This is not a usual occurrence! Something has happened on the eve of Halloween this year. To understand all this, all your courage is needed.
-
Attack
Alex
The Conductor cannot see me but thinks I'm very dangerous. I don't understand... You see this guitar... I think I was once a musicaian. I remember a girl's face, her name was Julia. She was an orphan and we loved each other, but my father, a rich banker involved in criminal activity, insisted I fllow in his footsteps. I wanted to start a band, to play my music, so Julia and I decided to leave the City. My father blamed her, then... Ah I can't remember what happend next. Look! Some monsters are coming! They're going to attack us! My god, where am I?
Why did those creatures attack as soon as we left the Station? It didn't feel like a random encounter. I've read about Werewolves. Someone unleashed them after we talked with the Conductor.
-
Empty Station
Alex
It's very kind of you to see me here - I always get lost in unfamiliar cities. The Conductor is not at the Station, could you wait with me? I'd like to look around in case something awakens my memories. When you remember nearly nothing about yourself, it's weird...
I found a broken guitar between the railroad ties. Something's scrathec on the fingerboard: "Alex". It reminds me of... it's mine! Perhaps I'm a musician? Then where did I get the money for an expensive car? Someone's coming... Is that the Conductor? I don't remember him. Please talk to him.
-
Alex's Angels
Alex
You're the only one who can help me remember what has happened to me. I hope my notes in the Diary will help you with your investigation.
-
I'll be in Luck
Cardsharp
If someone has come to play, we must provide them with everything that they haven't even thought of. For example, there's a little Blackjack box by the Lottery and the Slot Machines. The visitors will want to test their luck... I can see that you understand and support me.
Brilliant. Blackjack is the first stage of increasing bets.
-
A New Entertainment
Cardsharp
Oh, by the way, about the Mayor. I think he'll be very happy to see something from his past. I propose that we put a Slot Machine in the hall of the bowling club. Retro-style, of course. This will cheer up the Mayor, attract visitors and increase income. Or should I say, our income...
How grand! How absolutely grand! This ancient one-armed bandit belongs in a museum! Hopefully we'll manage to get a bit of a profit from it.
-
Lucky Ticket
Cardsharp
Now I understand that you can't earn much with bowling. An entry ticket and some drinks are the only sources of income. I thought about how to raise the profitability of the venue and I had an idea. Why don't we set up a casino in the neighboring hall? You must admit, it's a genius idea. Help me to organise this and I'll be in your debt. First, you will need a lottery ticket. Where could a working Lottery Machine be found?
You're doing magic. I'm sure that the income into the City treasury, even from the sales made by the Lottery Machine, will even make the Mayor accept this new plan.
-
Defense From a Gaze
Detective
We now have the five pieces of the Medusa's mirror that Mistress of the Manor broke. Restore the ancient artifact and you'll be able to travel into the past without the risk of turning into a stone sculpture.
Martha came through for us again. The Gorgon's gaze was reflected in the mirror and did me no harm. When she saw her reflection, the Gorgon shut her eyes and froze. She's now no longer a threat. But for how long? I hope it's forever.
-
Amnesia
Alex
I'm so glad you're here! I started to think I was invisible - people passed by paid no attention to my call. Where am I? I came round next to my broken car... I hit the statue and lost consciousness. I don't remember anything else... What's this city? And my name?!
Money... guns... I don't remember anything; it's not mine after all! You found a torn driving license issued in the name of Alex... I vaguely remember the name and the picture resembles me. Let's assume I'm Alex. Hold on... There's a note in the license. "Don't trust the Conductor." Who's he? I think I should meet the author of this note.
-
Mirror Glass
Martha
You've gathered all the pices of the mirror's frame. We're just missing the mirror's glass. It is tempered with such strong magic that it can resist even the Gorgon's gaze. Find the mirror glass.
Not a single crack or chip has appeared on the mirror glass in hundreds of years I can feel the magical waves emanating from its surface. It was created by a mighty magician.
-
Life Line
Isabelle
If you want to learn about your future, you'll need a Palm Reader's Map. Reading a person's future using the lines on their hand is an incredibly subtle art. I'm sure you'll recognise the map as soon as you see it.
This map is etched on a golden hand. Simply incredible! When you get your fortune, I hope I can get mine as well!
-
Castle Gate
Martha
One more step and we'll be able to enter Jack's realm. We've come here at our own peril and can only rely on ourselves. Go on in, don't be scared!
Here we are in the realm of the Halloween Spirit... A blue-grey haze has fallen to the ground, and the pointed spires on the turrests of Jack's Castle prop up the heavy sky. Silent guardians of stone stand on either side of the bridge leading into the inner sanctum of the Halloween Spirit. Unbelievable! We're the first people allowed to enter here!
-
Important Trifles
Cardsharp
Great... We have food and drink fo the Easter picnic. But we can't eat it all with our hands! And where will we sit? On the cold ground? It's a good thing Cardsharp is here. I've taken care of such accessories for the picnic - a plaid blanket, plates and napkins. I collected it all, your task is to bring it. Can you do that?
You see, it wasn't hard to bring the accessories for the picnic. I worked a lot harder collecting them all. I'll go lie on the plaid blanket and rest from my labours.
-
A Clue in the Tea Leaves
Juliette
Are you looking for magical fortune-telling tools, mon ami? I've often watched the Mistress of the Manor using tea leaves to tell fortunes. Look for a special teacup that can be used for this kind of fortune-telling. It'll help Martha tell your fortune as accurately as possible.
What stunning china! If this cup wasn't enchanted for divination, it would be nice for a calm morning tea!
-
Drinks for the Picnic
Conductor
All the townspeople are so anxious about the preparations for the picnic that I had to help. I made an excellent Refreshing Punch. You'll find my drink right across the Bridge.
Here's the punch! Want to give it a taste? Just a few drops...
-
Paper Endures Anything
Valerie
When I was a child my friends and I used to make Japanese origami figures out of paper, but I had no idea you could tell your fortune with them! Martha asked us to find a magical Origami Fortune Teller so she can tell our fortunes. Can you find one?
At first glance, this Origami Fortune Teller doesn't look too different from the other figures that my friends and I made. But when I hold it in my hands, it makes me shiver!
-
Spring Treats
Juliette
The Easter picnic is one of my favourite traditions in the City of Shadows. I admit, I spent long winter evenings thinking about how to surprise the Spirit of Spring this year. I've made an outstanding dessert. Look for it over the Bridge.
Well, what do you think of my dessert? It's not only tasty, it's also very beautiful. I tried to make it reminiscent of the coming spring.
-
The Edges of Magic
Martha
You've found adiving crystal! Look at the mesmerising glint in the crystal's edges. Can you see reflections from other worlds?
-
Fresh Greens
Isabelle
Have you already started preparing for the spring picnic? Great! I want to make a little contribution in the form of a salad of Fresh Greens. The dish is already done, I left it on the other side of the Bridge. Bring it to the park, to the picnic spot. You can do that easily, right?
Here's the Spring Salad. Mmm... It smells of spring and freshness!
-
Dazzling Luxury
Mr. Black
Delamode did his best: in his Atelier, even the doorknob is luxurious. But if he's involved in a crime, his wealth won't help him escape any repercussions. The door isn't locked: the counturier's ready to receive customers. Let's go in without knocking and take him by surprise!
The atmosphere of wealth reigns in the Atelier Delamode. Why did such a wealthy man like the couturier risk his position and reputation by violating the curfew? Let's figure out what kind of secret he keeps in a conspicuously expensive wrapper.
-
Main Dish
Martha
You and Valerie always arrive first. Now down to business - this is no simple picnic we need to organise. If it all works out, the Spirit of Spring will visit us at the end of the celebration, which is very important! She brings the power to wake nature from its wintery slumber. You want spring to come soon, don't you? Then help us do this Easter picnic properly. We have to put all the warmth of our souls into its preparation. Let every townsperson make their favourite dish. I, for example, will make my best treat - a special Easter cake shaped like a lamb. Search for it across the Bridge.
Here's the main dish for the spring picnic - a traditional Easter cake in the shape of a lamb. I really hope it tastes as good as it looks.
-
Spring Equinox
Mayor
Winter still holds the City of Shadows in its icy embrace. The townspeople know that at the end of winter, on the other side of the Bridge of Spring, a path appears to the world of the Spirits of Nature. It's from there that the Spirit of Spring appears, who, according to legend, brings warmth and sunshine to the City. Find out what other secrets the world of the nature spirits holds.
-
First Suspicions
Mr. Black
We have to find out from the couturier who visited him from the fog tonight, and more importantly - why. Let's go to the Atelier. Delemode is probably there, he rarely leaves his residence.
Outwardly, the mansion where the Atelier is located looks as usual, that is, pompous. But through the high window, one can see the silhouette of its owner, and the counturier seems to be having no luck looking for something... or hiding? We'll find out.
-
Medusa's Head
Martha
The frame is almost assembled, but we're still missing the large central piece. It looks like it was made in the shape of Medusa's Head. Let's try to find it.
The golden Gorgon Medusa head mars the elegance of the other pieces. How could one look at such a mirror without a sense of horror?
-
Carved Ornament
Martha
We've found two parts of the mirror, but there are still more to find. If you look closely, you can see that there should be an elegantly carved ornament on the frame. Find the third part of Medusa's mirror - the Carved Ornament.
Yes! This carved ornament you've found perfectly matches the other mirror frame pieces we already have.
-
The Bravery of Hercules
Mayor
I learned from Martha that ridding the Huntress of fear is very easy, especially in the City of Shadows. We need to make a Pill of Bravery for her. It isn't too hard to make: we find things belonging to famous brave people, perform a simple ritual and the pill will be ready. You can start by finding Hercules's leather bracelet.
Are you sure this is Hercules's real bracelet? All the responsibility is on you.
-
Return What Was Stolen
Detective
The items from the Tea Set got slightly damaged during the robbery. The scratches are almost unnoticeable but even they are enough for the Mistress to fly into a rage and punish Juliette. This must no happen... Find several artifacts that will return the Tea Set to perfection.
All of the pieces of the Tea Set are in place and it looks perfect. I analyzed the facts and think that it was not a robbery but an imitation. See - the Teacup, Kettle, Jampot and Sugar Bowl were lying alomost along a line, as if the theif ran and threw out what he stole. This can't be! Time to taok to Juliette!
-
The Last Loss
Detective
The only thing that can't be found is the Creamer. Let's have a look around. I have a very interesting version of how this all happened.
Exactly as I thought. The Creamer is just laying under the table. It looks like it wasn't even stolen, sjust hidden a little.
-
Veil of Secrecy
Isabelle
Let's hurry to Jack's Castle. This is a mysterious place; none of the dead are even allowed to come near him. I'm very interested in what's located there!
We're alomost there. Jack's realm is within reach. At the entrance to the bridge leading to the Castle, I see a fountain with a gargoyle on top of it filled with dark water. Is this really the legendary Fountain of Souls? Its surface is the order between the worlds of the living and the dead. A little further and we'll reach our goal.
-
Oddities in the Investigation
Detective
This is really unusual. Circling around the crime scene, I found everything quickly. I have a feeling that the Sugar Bowl will be found by the Teacup.
So, my nose really is like a bloodhound. Just look! The Sugar bowl is almost in the same place as the Teacup. Well, just a bit further on. But why throw all this away?
-
Searching for Trifles
Detective
A lot of attention is needed when looking for the silver Jampot. It's really small and inconspicuous.
Just look at that! The Jampot was lying near to the other items that were found. What a strange thief that visited the Manor today. I'm afraid he might have had other motives than silver, and this was just a distraction.
-
The Lost Tea Kettle
Detective
What do we have next? A Tea Kettle with a stand? No problem. We'll find it right away.
And here's the silver Kettle. It was lying a little further away than the cup. Doesn't look like it's been polished, either...
-
Start of the Search
Detective
Juliette says that the Tea Set is made of pure silver. It's unlikely that the monsters in the City would go for that, especially in the Mistress's Manor. Looks like it's a real person. Time to get to work. We'll start with the Teacup and Saucer.
It didn't take much time to find this silver Teacup and Saucer. It wasn't far away either.
-
Preparations for the Ritual
Martha
We should start the ritual to return Alex as soon as possible, before it's too late. Make a circle of Magical Gunpowder. We shall put the Ghost Trap in the middle and put the stalactite next to its exit. Get the fire darts ready and I'll activate the energy. When we release Alex from the trap, the stalactite will temporarily freeze him.
-
Energy Supply
Martha
We'll need a huge amount of energy to carry out the Resurrection Ritual for Alex. Look for artifacts - lots of powerful artifacts, while I carry out the last preparations.
That's great, there should be enough energy in the artifacts for the ritual. Invite Valerie and I will explain how to arrange the magical items. First, I'll start the clock with the ummoving pendulum and stop time.
-
Freeze the ghost
Martha
Resurrection magic requires an item that can temporarily freeze the Ghost. I've heard that the Huntress has a stalactite from the City dungeouns... It would really help us if you could persuade her to give it away.
The freezing stalacite! I've never seen it, I've only read about it. It's exactly what we need. Keep it far away from the fire darts.
-
Magical Flash
Martha
We need Magical Gunpowder for the ritual. I think there's definitely some in the City. We will use fire darts to make it burn.
We have the Magical Gunpowder! You're even better at searching than Detective himself!
-
Stopping Time
Martha
To carry out the Resurrection Ritual without mistakes, we need to take our time. We must stop time for this. Bring me a clock with a pendulum that has stopped.
So that's what the clock that can stop time looks like... Excellent, you're a talented discoverer!
-
Coalescing the Ghost
Martha
We need a magical mist to come together to bring Alex back to life. But we can only get it through the careful arrangement of certain amulets. First, bring me the Embalming Oil.
Have you brought a whole flask of Embalming Oil? It's an important ingredient for the ritual.
-
Catch an Aura
Martha
Alex's spiritual core is out of balance. I can bring Alex into our world for a while, but it will depend on how much energy he has left. Valerie will also need to see what magical artifacts and energy she can share with him. But you must remember - she'll be in danger of becoming a ghost herself. If you want to help, try and find a Ghost Trap. There are many in the City.
We have the Ghost Trap. But this is only the beginning. Get someone to help in your search.
-
Opening the Bowling Club
Cardsharp
Everything is in place to open the blowling alley. If the business becomes a success, we can also sell bowling balls and shoes. I read a newspaper article which said that sportsmen travel to championships with their own personal equipment. And what do you need to move this equipment? That's right, a special backpack that holds two balls. This will be a top selling item! It also has compartments for shoes and other little pockets on the sides for accessories. Just like this one in the newspaper photo.
This backpack surpasses my highest expectations. It's so roomy and the straps are so comfortable. It's definitely going to serve for way over a year. You're a true legend at searching! You definitely deserve a reward. After the equipment is installed, I permit you to play the first ten games for free. Or the first five... I swear! Anyway, goodbye for now. I have a lot of work to do re organising the championship.
-
Golden Filigree
Martha
The beauty of the ruby incrustation is a sign that the other parts of the mirror are just as elegant. Find the second part of Medusa's mirror - the Golden Filigree.
What a spectacular thing. Imagine how rich the mirror's creator must have been!
-
Men's Sneakers
Cardsharp
And you, dear friend, should try and find something that looks like Sneakers. There's also a compulsory requirement for the sole to be non-slippery and to have a low heel.
Just the ticket. If we have more of this kind of footwear we colud rent it out for a small fee. It will be an additional charge, of course.
-
Shoes for the Players
Cardsharp
While you were looking for the Balls, I looked through the instructions for assembling the lanes and playing games. It turns out that the lanes are covered with a special type of varnish and the players need to wear special footwear. Now that's something I never thought of. I'm pinning my hopes on you - you're legendary at searching.
You think you can take a run-up and throuw a ball in these shoes? Hmm... You have an interesting view of sport. These are women's shoes for an evening walk. I think I'll keep these for myself - maybe I can give them to someone as a gift. Juliette or even the Huntress, if it comes to it. Or maybe I could risk it and give them to the Mistress? Anything's possible.
-
Scrying with Balls
Cardsharp
In Germany, knocking over pins was actually considered to be a religious ceremony. Every believer would come to the church with their pins, place them in the gallery and throw a ball at them, which was provided by a priest. It was thought that the more pins the churchgoer knocked over the more righteous their life had been. We could also do with getting some Balls for the game.
Did you really find all of this in the luggage compartment? The Balls are brand new. I'm really bad at noticing large and heavy objects... At least I didn't have to drag them around.
-
Bowling Ball Target
Cardsharp
Do you know the history of bowling? They say that they knocked over pins with balls even in Ancient Egypt. By the way, we also need some pins.
This is really lovely. Let's count them: one, two... then. Ten pins - that's one full set. Excellent!
-
A Mirror for Victory
Martha
If you still intend to return to the Manor's past, you will need to know how to defeat the Gorgon and its withering gaze. There's a special mirror that can protect you, but the Mistress broke it and hid the pieces in the darkest recesses of the City. The first part won't be hard to find thanks to the ruby encrusted in it. It shines with a bloody light.
The beautiful ruby incrustation, from the frame of the Gorgon Medusa's mirror, has been found.
-
Assemble the deck
Isabelle
You've collected all the cards from the Deck of Images. The people of the City are now out of harm's way. I want to securely seal it so that nobody else can use them. Please bring me some urban artifacts to strengthen the magical seal.
Thank you! Thanks to you the City of Shadows has avoided a serious trouble. I hope that Martha's distraction spell is strong enough so that the Mistress of the Manor forgets about the missing Deck of Images and that Juliette won't divine on anything anymore. Here is your reward for helping.
-
Handsome Jack
Isabelle
Search for the final missing card from the Deck of Images - the Jack of Hearts. Juliette says this might be difficult because it's the Detective, so finding him won't be easy.
That's the Jack of Hearts that Juliette divined on. Somehow he doesn't really resemble the Detective. Or is it my biased opinion? In any case, it's good that all the cards have been found.
-
New Entertainment
Cardsharp
I was recently out for a stroll on the platforms by the site of the plane crash, and I found an old newspaper with an article about the blowling world championships. I had an amazing idea about organising a championship like that in our City, especially as it turned out that we have packed up blowling lanes in the luggage compartment. We just need to choose a place to install them. Unfortunately I didn't find a Pinspotter - it's a special mechanism for stopping and returning the ball and resetting the pins.
How did I manage to lose such a huge box with a Pinspotter? I have no idea. It's probably heavy too. Well, I shouldn't have to drag around anything too heavy...
-
Crown Of A Leader
Huntress
We have all the leader's bloody trophies. Hurry and put them in a circle. Let's see if we can get the magical crown.
Here it is! The Crown of a Werewolf Leader! We've found the most well kept secret of the werewolves. But now I'm worried! What if they start to hunt us for stealing the crown? This is the case where the ability to make a person invisible will come in handy.
-
Courageous Club
Isabelle
The Huntress was the Queen of Clubs when Juliette divined with the Deck of Images. Look for the Queen of Clubs in the most dangerous places in the City. The Huntress can always be found there.
Well done! Bring the Queen of Clubs here! Look, she's the spitting image of the Huntress! Is she okay? That's good, she's tough as nails. It's time to gather up the whole Deck of Images and safely hide it. Hold on, where's the Jack of Hearts?
-
Fifth Piece
Huntress
One last item remains... the armoured glove. I can't say that a different fate awaited its wearer. This glove is the only piece of the poor man's armour that remained intact.
Perfect, we have the last item we need - the armoured glove. Now we'll see if the old legends lie or speak the truth.
-
A Terrible Fate
Huntress
The werewolf leader flew into a rage from being tricked. The frightened Mayor asked a blacksmith to create a heavy-duty breastplate for protection; but as you've no doubt already guessed, by morning both the blacksmith and the breastplate had disappeared. The breastplate must be somewhere around here.
Look, there's a trace of dried blood on this breastplate! I fear it was unable to protect the poor blacksmith from his terrible fate.
-
An Unsuccessful Trap
Huntress
In revenge, the Mayor decided to poison the werewolf leader. He made a trap with a cup full of poison and spread the rumour that there was a potion in the cup that could turn any werewolf back into a human. By morning, the cup had gone, but no one had seen the thief. Find this cup.
I suspected that the werewolf leader may have stolen the cup, but that the poison didn't harm him. This empty cup proves it!
-
A Silver Mockery
Huntress
The second item is a silver medallion. It displays a portrait of the Mayor's mother. The werewolf leader created it to mock the Mayor. Why would it mock him, you ask? Because it was made from the silver bullets with which the citizens tried to kill the werewolf leader.
The Mayor has promised many times to reward the person who takes the medallion from the leader. Well. if we're going to get the crown, why not give the old ghost a nice surprise?
-
Restless Diamond
Isabelle
We must find all the missing cards from the Deck of Images urgently. After all, they could change a person's fate! Most of all, I'm worried about Valerie. I think she corresponds to the Queen of Diamonds. Look for this card where this restless person loves to be.
Great! You were able to find the Queen of Diamonds from the Deck of Images and, it's true, she has Valerie's face. We made it just in time before anything bad happened to her. What sinister magic these cards have!
-
Strong Spade
Juliette
All right, I'll give back the Deck of Images since they're dangerous. I hope Martha makes the Mistress forget about her favourite cards. But other queens from the deck are also lost. I divined on Valerie, the Huntress and Isabelle Well, it's interesting which of them are near the heart. It seems that now they're all under threat. Find Isabelle's card. I saw her on the Queen of Spades.
Monsieur, I'm so glad you found the Queen of Spades! And it's true: the queen on the card is Isabelle's double! I hope my divination didn't bring harm to her.

Sculptor's Masterpiece
Cardsharp
We found all the pieces of the girl's statue. I'll let you in on a little secret. I wasn't being completely honest with my reasons for restoring the statue. This noble deed was inspired by a selfish thought. I once overheard a conversation during a game of cards. Some strangers were whispering that this statue hides treasures within. So I decided to take on an important project... With a little bonus for myself. Hurry and help me assemble this beautiful girl's statue. Who knows, perhaps if we restore it, we'll learn one of the City's secrets? I will repay you properly in any case.
It's happening! Something is happening! The lion's jaws have opened, and a little ring fell out. Is that it? One ring?! I was promised riches beyond my wildest dreams! Although it does look quite nice on my finger.

The Search Begins!
Detective
Why are you hanging around outside the Hotel's gates? Come on, get in, quickly. Pay attention to anything that could be connected with the ink rain: puddles, drops, stains and streaks.
Strike me down! If the Hotel has been long-abandoned, where are the traces of desolation? It seems someone is living in the Hotel; I'd even say it's a woman! It's no accident that all these hats, scarves and handbags are scattered everywhere.

New Discoveries
Valerie
Take me with you to tke Yard of Forgotten Toys! I'm sure it's full of secrets and mysteries, not just broken toys!
Hooray! We finally made it into the Yard of Forgotten Toys. Look how many toys there are. Too bad they're all broken. Look around carefully - there hasn't been anyone here for a while. It's so interesting to be the first ones here in the whole existence of the City of Shadows.

Strange Sounds
Juliette
Hi, there! Will you taok with me? I'm a bit scared... This morning, on an errand for the Mistress, I heard rumbling and clanking in the east of the square, like twisting metal. Something bad was happening, but I was in a hurry and my Mistress is very strict. If I disobey, I get in trouble. Then, when coming back, I saw a werewolf. They say you are great at dealing with werewolves. Drive them away and find out what's happening!
Hey! Is anyone alive? Come here, please! What's going on? Where am I?

Terrible Evidence
Huntress
The first item is a knight's helmet. Once, a knight disappeared in the City after loudly declaring that no werewolf could ever defeat him. No one saw his face because he never took his helmet off. But the next day, the knight disappeared, and the werewolf leader was seen wearing his helmet.
This helmet is yet more proof that the werewolf leader should never be understimated.
-
Cunning Joker
Juliette
The first card that disappeared from the Mistress' deck was the Joker. It told me it wasn't needed so I put it aside; but then it was gone. Find this Joker, mon ami!
Where did you find this Joker?! I looked all around. Oh, look at his face! It's the spitting image of Cardsharp. Strange... Earlier this card looked different. Let's go see Martha.

Creating the Monster
Conductor
It seems you've found all the parts of the First-born Gargoyle from the Collector's diagram. Now we can put them together and connect the heart to the body. Do you think that the Gargoyle will come to life if we use some artifacts?
Look! The First-born Gargoyle has started to move! It's soared into the sky! Follow it, quick! Find out where it's flying to. Oh my! The Gargoyle has gone towards Isabelle, not the Collector!
-
To the City's Rescue
Detective
Finally, we can enter the Hotel and discover the secret of the ink rain. Are you ready?
-
Sharp Eyesight
Conductor
I think I know what's missing - the mechaical Gargoyle has no eyes. Find them, please.
I hope this is the last part we need for making the gargoyle.
-
The Monster's Heart
Conductor
What will we do next? What parts of the metal Gargoyle are we missing? I guess we now need to find the heart. It's just aguess, though.
The Collector made such a beautiful heart for his mechanical Gargoyle! Well then, let's try to put it together and see what happens. Hmm... It seems that everything has been correctly assembled and we dind't mix anything up, but the Gargoyle still isn't moving. It won't even blink...
-
Above the Clouds
Conductor
Judging by the body you found, we're assembling a metal gargoyle. I don't even have to look at the diagram to tell you that we must also find a pair of wings. What kind of Gargoyle doesn't have wings?
That's strange. The wings are not metallic. I shouldn't have called our bird a metal Gargoyle.
-
Fortified Torso
Conductor
I don't think that the bird that we're collecting parts for will be aggressive. The Collector never created monsters, isn't that right? Also, this part of the diagram looks like the body of a bird, not a griffin. can you find an Armoured Torso like that?
I think that these Claws and Armoured Body look like parts for a metallic gargoyle.
-
Sharp Claws
Conductor
I looked through some of the stuff at the Station and found a strange diagram for some sort of bird. We have already seen something similar - do you remember the diagram of the Collector's robot? Now he's provided us with a new mystery! The Latin numeral V is drawn here too. I think we will need to find five parts of this creature. If you look at the diagram carefully, those lines look like claws. Maybe you can try to find them somewhere?
Wow! Those are some big claws! Greek griffins probably had similar ones. Maybe it's a griffin on the diagram, not a bird? We'll put it together and watch it come to life and start running around the City, just like the robot.

Pacify the Fog
Cardsharp
It seems that we've found all the pieces of assassin clothing. I'm so close to discovering the secret of controlling the City's fog. Help me change clothes and feel like an assassin, and let's get a little closer to the fog. However, we need to collect several artifacts first.
Oh, dear friend! I feel like the lord of the fog... Now I'll try to play the pipe. You see it? The fog is moving towards me, it obeys me. I, Cardsharp, ruler of the fog and the City of Shadows. Now all the relics will be mine. But why am I disappearing into the fog? What's happening?
-
Charming Cobras
Cardsharp
We're done with the assassins' weapons. All we need to find now is a few things for the spell. For example, a Snake Charmer's Pipe. Can you find one?
Keep this cobra in your possession. I can hold the pipe. I'll need to use it later.
-
Strike from a Distance
Cardsharp
I have another clue. Bladed weapons weren't all the assassins had at their disposal. Bows and arrows were often the only way they could complete their mission, so they always kept them on their person.
A bracer and glove and of course, a bow and arrows... With a kit like this, a warrior can keep the enemy far away from them. But a weapon like that is no good to me at a card table.
-
Hidden Blade
Cardsharp
Now we must find an assassin's sword - the Devil's Claw. A useful thing indeed, let me tell you. Especially when your opponent at the table is being uncooperative.
What an awesome deadly weapon. This hidden blade is called the Devil's Claw for a reason. I wouldn't mind learning how to use it... You know, just in case.
-
Assassin's Belt
Cardsharp
The assassin's outfit always included a Red Belt. Do you know where to find one like that?
The red colour of the belt denoted a high-rank assassin. Low-ranking assassins couldn't use magic and were only students, so their belts were white or grey.
-
Assassin's Cloak
Cardsharp
You're so impatient, my friend. I won a secret - I was told a legend about a group of assassins that knew how to control fog. This allowed them to move unseen. But fog in the City of Shadows is special - it carries relics! If I can control it, all these treasures will be mine! Or ours, if you agree to help me that is. We need to find the assassins' clothing, then the fog will submit to us! The first item is a White Cloak - find it.
The assassins were a clan of eastern warriors. Using a cloak like this one, they could disguise themselves as monks, warriors or peasants and be indistinguishable from those around them.
-
A Dog's Life
Cardsharp
We've gathered five dogs of different breeds to defend the cafe. Now I have... sorry, we have a whole pack of dogs. We need to house them somehow. Enclosures, cages... Can you take care of that? You can use magic to speed up the process. Artifacts that increase your strength and agility will come in handy. And I'm going to prepare several presents for you to show my gratitude.
I swear by my top hat, even I couldn't have done better! Each dog has its own little house and the cages have been signed for. We could hold tours, for a price of course. Also, potential thieves will see what they have to look forward to.
-
Gladiator Dog
Cardsharp
I'm probably going to need a Mastiff as well. They're a lgendary breed of dog whose career began back in the era of Alexander the Great. The Romans saw fighting potential in these dogs. They dressed them in armour and used them as gladiators in the arenas, pitting them against bears, tigers and lions. Will you try and find one for me?
I didn't believe before that the English Mastiff was the largest breed of dog on the planet, but now I see it. It's no wonder these dogs were used to form battle units. They truly are invincible in armour.
-
Loyal Friend
Cardsharp
I'd be so happy if you could find a Pit Bull Terrier. These dogs are infinitely loyal, have a happy temperament and are very sociable.
Wonderful! This brown Pit Bull Terrier is a very clever and loyal dog.
-
Sheepherder
Cardsharp
Please find another breed of dog - the Anatolian Shepherd. In their homeland of Turkey, these dogs are used to protect villages from wild predators.
The Anatolian Shepherd is considered a national treasure in Turkey. The people there build a monument to these dogs in gratitude for their protection.
-
Decorating the Pedestal
Cardsharp
I see some recesses in the base of the pedestal. Another decoration was placed here - an amulet with the heart of an animal. Where could it be?
Oh, it's the Lion's Heart Amulet! With this in the pedestal, the statue will look as good as new!
-
Decorating the Statue
Cardsharp
According to the sculpture's vision, there were three beautiful crystals made of quartz arranged around the statue. Without them, she'll look pretty poor, don't you think?
These are fine quartz crystals! The girl's statue will be surrounded by them as if in a flower.
-
Base of the Statue
Cardsharp
The statue must be placed on its own pedestal. It must have been reused a long time ago - I don't see it anywhere around here. Could you please find the pedestal?
Are you sure this is the right pedestal? We can't afford a mistake here, otherwise this fine statue will be unsteady, and my restoration efforts will be wasted.
-
Bear Hunter
Cardsharp
For variety, I suggest finding a dog from Japan. How about an Akita Inu? This dog was even used to hunt bears. But don't worry, the dogs won't bother obedient customers.
In the land of the rising sun, the Akita Inu is considered a symbol of loyalty, and every Japanese child dreams of having such a puppy as a friend.
