Quest
There are quest of Hidden City. Let's solve hidden city, mystery adventure game and magnificant stories.
-
Wall of Fog
Mr. Black
Now we need to take a deep breath, press ourselves against the wall, and carefully squeeze through. The Foggy Backstreet starts right behind these ruins. I hope we find Carlos before the openeing is completely shrouded by the fog. I'll go first, and you follow me. Let's hurry!
We're here! Wow, there's even light in some windows I thought there was nobody in the Foggy Backstreet but scavengers! Look, this is the dilapidated bridge mentioned in the letter. I can't figure out, is there a dead end at the end of the street or a thick wall of fog?
-
Secret Route
Rayden Storke
Oh, what did Carlos get into this time? And why didn't he tell me anything? Now we have to look for him among the abandoned hourses of the Foggy Backstreet. It's good that I found this letter dateiling the route to the secret gap. We're going there right now!
Go down, turn right, and find a gap in the fog. I think this is the way! Monsters and Defenders, the secret opening that leads to the Foggy Backstreet is almost entirely fogged! I'll turn on an anti-fog lamp so that whe don't go in blind.
-
Gift of Fertility
Mei
I studied the mysteries of my god, the Azure Dragon, until his gift of growing plants was passed on to me. Even a stone would blossom in my hands! Could I have broken the balance of the gods with these spells? Please find the Stone Flowers that I created.
These Stone Flowers are modest. I never abused the gift of nature's magic. What did I do to upset the balance, then? Look, this scroll describes the order of things.
-
Spiritual Growth
Lady Peacock
The training of an eastern priestess includes spiritual practices. Special incense is usually used to communicate with deities. Look for the dragon's Ritual Incense Burner. Let's see if Mei succeeded in achieving harmony.
The incense in thie Ritual Incense Burner has an unusually strong woody scent. Now I see that Mei reached spiritual heights and her will was like steel.
-
Eastern Wisdom
Martha
I see a lot of books in the throne room. Unlike the airheaded European princess, Mei had been studying since childhood. Maybe womething went wront at this stage? Look for bamboo books. Mei would use them to study the age-old wisdom and mysteries of her deity.
This book contains special knowledge that a priestess of the Azure Dragon needs. The dragon represents the forces of living nature and growth. I doubt this could cause the conflict.
-
Symbol of the Heir
Mei
My parents said that the Azure Dragon came to lay his claim on me immediately after my birth. What went wrong with my appearance in this wourld? The order was not violated! I even had a seal from the dragon as confirmation of this. It should be here somewhere.
A jade seal depicting a dragon became my heiress seal. I was officially recognized as a princess and priestess. This could not have disrupted the balance between the gods.
-
Four Pillars
Martha
We've found all the pieces of the Talisman of the Four Winds. Our only hope is to find out what the Emperor wished for during the Palace siege, and what it led to in the end. I need the magic of the City to restore the relic. Prepare some City artifacts for my ritual.
The City's magic is fusing the parts of the Talisman of the Four Winds together, filling it with its former power. Talisman, I waish to know what heppened at the Palace! I... I see what happened here!
-
Origins
Martha
We've collected four animals for the Emperor's Talisman. But the central element is missing. By the way, I saw a cradle with a similar aura somewhere in the throne room. But what is it doing here? Try to find the cradle and examine it.
You say the cradle was surrounded by gifts, like it's a relic? And there was a metallic symbol inside? Look, it fits perfectly in t he center of the Talisman!
-
Mysterious Bird
Lady Peacock
I've noticed unusual scarlet feathers in the City. They can even be bought at the Troll Market. I know where they might come from. Find an image of a Vermilion Bird in the Emperor's room, and I'll tell you about it.
This Vermilion Bird pendant is painted with cinnabar! I know a lot about eastern myths and birds, and I recognize this sacred symbol. This is Zhu Que, the Chinese bird of fire, the south and summer!
-
Scared Scales
Valerie
The Emperor had a Talisman with animals that fulfilled wishes, and now we need to collect its pieces. You don't know which animal to look for next? Are you kidding? Look around, there are dragons everywhere in the throne room, one for every occasion! Look for a dragon!
The Azure Dragon is covered in scales! Have you noticed that the wind is carrying whole clouds of such scales around the City? I even found one under my bed, can you imagine?!
-
Black Warrior
Mayor
The Emperor painted a large turtle in his letter. I recognize it. It's a sacred Chinese animal, the "Black Warrior of the North". I even had a paperweight that resembled it. An appropriate symbol for making a wish durin battle. Will you find the turtle?
You've found the Chinese turtle! The Talisman's piece fit together. They are part of one whole. We are one step closer to unraveling the mystery of the Chinese Palace.
-
Crouching Tiger
Detective
If only we had the Emperor's Talisman! It's the eve of the Chinese New Year, so we could make a wish and find out what happened at the Palace. There are drawings of animals on the Emperor's scroll. Maybe they're connected to the Talisman? We should look for broken pieces with the same images in the hall. Did you come across something with, say, the image of a White Tiger?
Excellent! A fragment with a metallic White Tiger, the same as in the Emperor's letter. The Talisman must have split after he made his wish.
-
Moment of Truth
Isabelle
This is what the Master worte: "The monocle that I have assembled today shows a type of reality that is based on changes in the past. I can see how things would have turned out if I had acted differently on that ill-fated day, but the joyful image left nothing in me but regret." The Monocle will help us to understand what the Master was regretting. He must have hidden this device, but where? I think I'll be able to find it, but I'll need your help. Collect some City artifacts for my ritual.
-
Secret of Time
Mayor
The secret of the Laboratory of Time has been revealed. But whose life did the Mastere, who had the power of time, extend by turning other people into mummies? Where is he now? Could the mysterious door in the Laboratory of Time hide these secrets?
-
Poor Imitation
Martha
The City revealed the Laboratory of Time to us for a reason. It wanted us to learn about the Master, that this man was not only a scientist who travelled through time and space, but also a murderer. I feel... the City wants people to know about and remember these events. The City and the laboratory are ready to give us something that will not let us forget about what happened. Collect a few City artifacts, they'll help make the memories of these walls more tangible.
Thank you for bringing the artifacts. I'm beginning a ritual that will help us gain the memory of the Laboratory of Time. Hardly surprising that the clock became the symbol of experiments with time. But look at the clock face! In its centre is a frozen human face! and the scariest thing is that it seems to be alive. Or is it just an illusion? Maybe they're connected with someone's life? I'll give these horrible clocks to the Mayor so he can put them into strage at City Hall. We'll never forget the Master and his atrocities.
-
Duchess Doll
Juliette
Getting dolls for Isabelle was a great idea. I know just where to get the Susanna doll. Her dress is an exact replica of the Queen of England's. Let's go find it togethere, I can't manage without your help.
Mon amie, look how pretty the Susannna doll is. It will be the perfect gift for Isabelle.
-
Sinister Lighting
Huntress
Mein freund, I was just thinking... this Master isn't very different from the monsters I've gotten used to destroying. He is fortunate that he is unknown in the City, otherwise I would insist on his very close acquaintance wit hmy daggers. Find the Master's final item as soon as possible, and let's close this case.
Gosh, some kind of apparatus again! No, I got enough of an electrical shock from the Time Catcher. I won't touch this things as well. Now I'll throw a knife into it, and... How monstrous you are in the Corona Dischage's spotlight! The bones of your hands, skull, eye sockets - for a moment you looked like a demon!
-
Inevitable Ending
Martha
How awful! I don't understand why I didn't feel the ominous atmosphere of this place. Is it because of the anomalies located here? In any case, I need to perform a purification ritual. Let's finish the investigation as soon as possible. Find something that indicates the direction of the Master's future work.
Oh, you found the Ghost Spinning Top. It disappears with a quick spin, and what's more, it can spin for a very long time, but not forever. Does this mean the Master achieved effects that were long, but not everlasting?
-
Frozen Process
Isabelle
My God, what horrible things the Master did, and still I considered him a professional equal! Let's finish the investigtation as quickly as possible and leave this place. I want to forget everything that happened here. Find an item that points out what else was done by this... this... No, I can't even call him a scientist.
A crystal heart? It's so cold! When I took it in my hands I was immediately reminded of crostasis, which I read about in scientific publications. Most likely, the Master put his "test subjects" into anabiosis, like during a space flight. He had good reason to be so enthusiastic about the "deception of time" in his notes!
-
Energy Donor
Valerie
Oh, if you need any liquids, I saw a fountain somewhere here. It's just a small indoor fountain, but perhaps it will help you learn about the Master's tru intentions?
Yes, yes, yes! This is the fountain I was talking about. It's great that you found it... Look, its streams flow by emptying a container placed at a heigher level. The container the nbecomes dry and brittle. Hey... Just like a mummy!
-
Sucking out the Juices
Detective
We need to find out what goal was driving the Master, an making him spend so much time and effort. For this, we need to collect items describing his final experiments - they will give us a clue about exactly what the Laboratory of Time's creator wanted to achieve. My friend, I'm still thinking about the bloody print on the Master's letter. I looked closely at our mummy and noticed that he suffered an injury when he was alive. I think the first matter is to look in the same nook where we found the body, and the clue will be flowing, like blood, you understand?
Wow, you found Connected Timers. It looks like two separate connecting water clocks simply placed at the same level. It would seem that the level of fluid in them should be the same, but, going against gravity, one water clock fills, emptying the other. What could this mean?
-
Event Settings
Valerie
Isabelle and Martha are arguing about the Master. The Detective and Juliette are checking around the laboratory. Mr. Cardsharp is examining the planetary model, where there is a yellow diamond instead of the sun, and I'm awfully interested in what hidden artifacts the Master of the laboratory will reveal! We saw machines for travelling to the past and the future; even a magical compass of times! What will we see now? Please bring City artifacts, they'll speed up the process!
Thank you! Thank you, thank you! You brought the City artifacts and now we'll learn what the laboratory is hiding! Look, I'm doing the same thing as Martha. I'm putting the things you collected on the table. The artifacts, everything shines beautifully, and... Golden Tuning Horns! they're needed to tune the organ, but the Master most likely adjusted his time transport machines with them! Oh, I want to know how! And look, there's another letter from the Master!
-
Stretching Moments
Alex
Unbelievable! It's clear from the Master's note that he found a way to control time! Plus, a lot of manipulations took place using musical instruments. I, as a musician, can tell you what we need to understand how he did it. A metronome! Find one quickly.
Splendid! You found the metronome, congratulations! Normally it measures short intervals of time with even strokes until it's stopped, but modified by the Master, its frequency changes by itself. Now we can say with certainty that the Master's devices are self-adjusting.
-
Minimising Risks
Martha
I had a vision that the Master used a round object similar to my crystal ball in his research. Find this item, and we'll be one step closer to figuring out where the Master directed his efforts after he visited the future.
Oh, you've found the dodecahedron! Yes, that's exactly what I saw when meditating. The dodecahedron came to us from Ancient Rome. Archaeologists have never figured out why the Romans needed it, but Isabelle suggests that the Master improved it and used it to compensate for things happenings at the moment of travel.
-
Directing Events
Huntress
Mein freund, thanks to you we learned that the Master was able to direct time so that in his travels he departed to a desired day and time. But if you ask me, something tangible or physical can be directed through time too. Find an item related to the concentration of time, as time itself in intangible.
You did great, congratulations! A concentration of time look slike a dreamcatcher made of metal chain links, and a blue light burning in the centre... Wow! It gave me an electrical shock!
-
Getting There Accurately
Isabelle
I'm so sad that I don't know the Master! I think we would have many things in common to talk about. For instance, I'm extremely insterested in how he calculated the exact time he needed to travel through. Let's check, did he use the device or go by chance?
I don't know what the Master called it, but I would call it a Moment Gyroscope. See, there are numbers on the rim for setting the time, which you need to adjust down to the second. Thanks to your find, we've learned that the Master not only obeyed the stream of time, but that it also guided him! What next?
-
Recording Anomalies
Juliette
Mon ami, allow me to speak. The Master studied time, travelled through it and was about to conduct an experiment to slow down time here in the City. He even mentioned that this was only the beginning! If we collect the items that he used in his experiments, then we'll understand what his end goal was - and what his scientific research led to. Find something connected to the Master's experiments. The City will help you.
The first find! Bravo, mon ami! It looks like a compass, only it's demagnetised. The needle is spinning like crazy! Oh, and if you step further away from the Master's devices, the needle comes to a stop and points red. This device must identify time anomalies!
-
Autumn Anomalies
Isabelle
My anomaly locator started to buzz in my hands the moment we approached the valley. But something tells me that this isn't just to do with the anomalies. What secrets does this seemingly quiet place hide? Let's go and take a look around the Valley.
We found a wagon in the valley. This place is overflowing with the gifts of autumn, and straw bales have been placed cozily around the fire. Strangely, there are no horses or wheel tracks on the ground. Could the wagon have gotten here by air? And it seems that it didn't have a soft landing.
-
Portal into the Future
Martha
The items you've collected, that the Master brought back from the future to the City of Shadows, have an amazing aura. It's not a bright halo surrounding one object, but one that flows from one thing to another, as if they all have the same aura. Maybe it's because none of these items belong in our time period, but, most likely, it's that the laboratory is ready to reveal a powerful artifact. We need City magic to materialise it. Bring me some artifacts.
I'll begin the ritual by saturating the aura tof the items from the future with the City's magick. Look, it's working! I see the outline of an incredible machine made up of hour gear wheels. They revolve with a creak, the laboratory fills with fog, and suddenly a ray of light pierces through it! In the circle of light, I see the astral projection of a City with tall houses setting off into the clouds, exactly like the Master described! This machine must've helped him travel to the future! It's a shame the projection didn't go any further... But look, there's another message from the Master lying nearby! What's it about?
-
Signs of Autumn
Martha
Even the spirits couldn't explain who owns the mysterious wagon in the Valley, and whether it has something to do with autumn not coming to the city of Shadows. The magic emanating from it is strong and unknown to the City. Perhaps it's preventing the arrival of autumn? We need to get closer to see for ourselves.
Can you smell the scent of an autumn bonfire and the freshness of the lavish rains that envelop the Valley? This place is clearly special. I would not venture any nearer without my charms.
-
Interplanetary Transport
Cardsharp
My dear friend, an exceedingly intriguing idea just came to me. One thing from the future could just be the City playing a joke; two or three is chance; four is coincidence, but five is a pattern. If you find a fifth item, then we'll be absolutely certain that the Mater, whose Laboratory of Time we have the honour of being in, has travelled to the future!
Oh my god! Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! If it's not a spaceship model. My friend, do you understand what this means? You have proven that the person who created the laboratory of Time travelled not only to the past, but also into the future!
-
Personal World
Huntress
Mein freund, we can firmly say that the Master, who created the Laboratory of Time, travelled to the past. But to say that his next step was to travel to the future, will need more proof. Find an item brought back by the Master. Will it turn out to be from the future?
What a puzzling thing. Judging by the material, the Master obviously brought it back from the future, and according to Valerie's enthusiastci screams, it's called a Virtual Reality Helmet for gaming. It's placed on the head? Let's try it... Nothing has changed, only I somehow see myself on the streets of the City of Shadows. And a gargoyle is flying at me! Where's my sling? Take this, creature!
-
3D Image
Martha
An incrediable place, this Laboratory of Time, and no less mysterious is its Master who created it! Did he really travel into the future? Locate the next item and confirm or refute our assumption.
Oh, I'm afraid even I don't know what this thing is. Hmm. I can definitely say that it's safe, and if you press the button... Look! Our Earth has appeared above its surface! It looks like the astral bodies that I invoke! The blue translucent sphere spins, shows us continents, magnifies Euqope, its countries an dcities, a green dot blinks somewhere near Italy, and... It's all gone! What was it?
-
Flight on a Board
Alex
Valerie's just a cutie, right? And always sharing interesting ideas! I watched a movie about travelling to the future, well, before I became so... see through. Anyways, the main character flew on an anti-gravity board. Do you want to look for something similar?
Wow! You've found a flying skateboard! Not that I couldn7t fly, but with a skateboard it seems more human. Strange, why won't it work? Ah, yes... On the reverse side it says: "Hoverboard. Use over a water surface." It's a pity, I would have taken it for a spin.
-
Language Barrier
Isabella
Valerie's like a child, for heaven's sake! Just look at how she's running around the laboratory. Thank heavens she's not touching anything else... Now abck to the Master's research. He went into the past, so maybe the next step was to travel into the future? If you find objects from the future, this will confirm my theory and point us towards where to go next so we can ultimately learn why the Laboratory of Time was created.
A curious thing you found: a multi-faced bracelet in which floats phrases in different languages - German, French, Chinese... even in Esperanto! I know what kind of bracelet it is! It's a universal translator because Esperanto is a universal language, which was invented in the 19th century. Will we really all speak it?
-
Explorer in the Depths of Time
Martha
Within the laboratory's walls we found various objects that showed us where the Master went in his studies of time. Judging by everything, he learned to travel to the past. But why? Was his "Grand Goal" to discover how to time travel? I think we're one step away from learning the answer to this question. I'll perform a ritual that will help locate the Master's secret records, which he did along with his most powerful artifacts. The things you collected from the past will help me in this, but I need a drop of the City's magic. Will you bring me some artifacts?
The ritual is complete, and I'm amazed by what materialised in my hands! It's the Sphere of Events, an artifact that helped the Master travel back in time! I feel a powerful aura emanating from it. A power the likes of which I've never felt before. And here are the Master's records, which he hid along side the sphere. What do they say? Read fast!
-
A Wager on Diamonds
Isabelle
I think I know how to get solid proof that the lab's owner actually visited the past. Find the Order of the Bath that, according to the Master, he won from Admiral Nelson in a card game. If the order really is in the laboratory, we won't have any more reason to doubt that the Master is more than a simple collector of antiques.
The same legendary knight's cross of the Order of the Bath, which granted Nelson nobility and the rank of Rear Admiral! You actually found it! Now I have no doubt about it: The Master is a real time traveller!
-
Left-Handed Notebook
Detective
If the Master was the genius, crackpot scientist that I consider him to be, he could make a Philosopher's Stone entirely by himself. Look for something the Master couldn't create on his own or buy from collectors - something he could only pull from the past. Maybe an item belonging to a famous historical person, but was considered lost?
Whoa! These are the legendary records of Leonardo da Vinci! He made a lot of records using mirror writing, thereby encrypting the secrets of his inventions. After da Vinci's death, the records were scattered throughout Europe, and many were lost... The Master could only get his hands on them in the past!
-
Exorcism Ritual
Martha
Time to start the ritual to exorcise the Demon of Avarice from Cardsharp. Si down, fear nothing and ignore everything. Whe we summon the demon, he'll try to beg and try to make us feel sorry for him. Don't talk to him and just keep reading the text over and over. Now, I'll place a drop of Cardsharp's blood into the vessel and we can begin...
We did it! Dont'be surprised when the vessel starts to shine. That's the rage of Demon Balaam. He has no way out, so it turns into pure energy.
-
A Few Drops of Immortality
Cardsharp
Dear friend, if you continue to search for evidence that the Master travelled to the past, may I be so bold as to give you one piece of advice. Isabelle rightly noted that the Master's speeches are delivered with some delusion of grandeur. I believe taht such a person would have tried to find the famous Philosopher's Stone in the past. Will you try to find the stone in the laboratory?
Excellent, my friend! You found the famous Philosopher's Stone. It bestowns immortality and turns any metal into gold. Even I would learn to travel to the past just to visit the alchemists of ancient times for such a thing!
-
Eureka!
Isabelle
The ankh we found suggests that the Master learned to travel into the past. But one ankh isn't enough proof. Judging from his notes, the Master was a person who... um... let's say, was convinced of his own greatness. Such a person would surely have taken some legendary object from the past. Search for something like this in the laboratory?
You did it! This crown is very similar to the famous crown of the King of Syracuse! King Hiero asked Archimedes to determine its true composition, and as a result, with this very crown Archimedes formulated his famous principle of buoyancy... Did the Master really bring it back with him from the past?
-
Martha
Symbol of Eternal Life
If the Master was indeed responsible for the mummies appearing in the City, they must've been the result of his experiments. He wrote about a "Grand Goal" in his notes. I think we need to find out where the Master travelled for his studies, and understand what this goal was. The compass we found implied that the Master learned how to time travel. Could this really be? Return to the laboratory and look for something to confirm this theory. Something... odd. Yes, I know, everything is strange threre, but we need to find something even stranger.
You really managed to find something interesting! It's aGolden Ankh, the symbol of eternal life and a treasure from Ancient Egypt. It must be a few thousand years old, but it's in impreccable condition. It's as if the Master personally received it from an Egyptian priest only yesterday!
-
Free-Wheeling Directions
Isabelle
We found all sorts of devices that the laboratory's owner could use to study time, as well as objects that various time experiments were clearly conducted on. But why? What was the purpose of all this? And is this the Laboratory of Time that the Collector unsuccessfully searched for? I feel the presence of very powerful artifacts within the laboratory's walls, but all of them are hidden from my eyes. I think the things you collected will help me bring one of them into the light. It will help us shed light on what the laboratory's owner was actually up to. I'll perform the ncessary ritual, but I require artifacts from the City. Will you bring them?
We performed the ritual, and just look at what materialised on the table! It's a compass of time periods! It looks like an ordinary compass, but it's made in the image and likeness of a wind rose, and do you see what's written on it instead of the cardinal directions? "Past", "Yesterday", "Today", "tomorrow" and "Future". Does the compass needle point at different times? Perhaps the lab's owner not only studied time, but also leaned to travel through it? Maybe the letter lying next to the compass will answer this question.
-
A Fight Inside Out
Martha
It seems you were almost convinced that the City had revealed to us the abode of a scientist who studied time. But since you need conclusive evidence, I'll tell you how to find one of the pieces. I saw a strange bell when I was looking around the laboratory. Why is it strange? You'll understand when you find it. I believe that all your doubts will fall away after this... Find the bell and bring it to me.
Yes, this is same bell that I was talking about. It strikes itself every hour, and... hush, listen, it struck again just now... Did you hear it? At the beginning, there's an echo that becomes louder, and only after is the ringing heard. This bell rings in reverse! Do we need any other evidence that the secrets of time were discovered in this lab?
-
Tireless Rings
Isabelle
It's not difficult to make a clock with hands go in the opposite direction. I'm still not convinced that the City has revealed the real Laboratory of Time to us. We need to look for something truly unusual: a familiar item that would violate the usual order of things... for example, that acts against the laws of physics. Can you find something like that among all these devices?
Newton's Cradle, which never stops! Wonderful. That's just what I had in mind Just look at it! could the laboratory's owner have invented this legendary perpetual motion device? But how was he able to overcome the law of energy consevation?
-
Mirrored Movement
Valerie
I know what to look for. A magical clock! If I decided to study time, it would be the first thing I'd collect. It's impossible to carry out experiments on time without a clock, right? And if the experiments are magical, maybe the clock is magical too! Look for a clock, the likes of which we've never seen before. Just be careful, we don't want you turning into a baby!
A clock that goes backwards! Well done! Do you need mor eproof that the laboratory's owner was studying time? I don't know how he was able to turn back time, but he did. A master at his craft, wouldn't you say!
-
Guarantee of Precision
Juliette
Mon ami, if time truly was studied in the laboratory, its owner had to use a clock. Look for some kind of magical time piece. And hurry, I beg you! I just saw the century-old oak near the castle become a young seedling! We need to hurry and understand what kind of place we're in. The City is in danger, and we're on the wrong track?
You did it, mon ami! You have the Floating Tourbillon in your hands. This piece ensures the accuracy of a mechanical clock's motion. But why is it glowing? I'm sure this piece helped the laboratory's owner create a magical clock, which he then used in his studied!
-
Travel Companion
Detective
Did we really find the Laboratory of Time? If this is the same laboratory that the Collector wrote about, the City clearly wants us to finish his investigation. But why? We need to find out if time really was studied here. We've stumbled upon a warehouse of weird artifacts and who knows what. Look for something among the devices related to the study of time, so that we can hopefully understand the purpose of this thing. There are so many kinds of mysterious items all around though... What about an unusual calendar?
Interesting thing you've found, pal. I think it's called "Kepler's Calendar". An old invention that's still in use today, a calendar that fits any year. Clearly this thing was often in use: just look at how worn the discs are! I wonder, how did this calendar help the owner of the Laboratory in time experiments?
-
Fancy Toy
Huntress
I heard that you're collecting dolls for Isabelle. Come on, I'll show you where you can find the Vivian doll. It won't be easy but the doll is so beautiful that it's worth the effort.
Yes, it wasn't easy to get my hands on the Vivian doll. I'm glad that you were around to help me.
-
Shepherd Dolly
Valerie
I know where you can find the Aveline doll. It will definitely cheer Isabelle up and make her forget about her sad childhood. Will you go get it?
The Aveline doll looks like a shepherd with braids and bows... She's so cute that I'd play with her myself!
-
Seal the Vessel
Martha
We need to find the right seal for the vessel. I have lots of them in my laboratory. Bring them here and we can choose.
It's great that you managed to select the right seal so quickly. I'll enchant it too, just in case.
-
Prison for a Demon
Martha
We need a vessel into which to lure the demon. I have it in my lab. Can you bring it, please?
Everything is going well so far. I was given this vessel a long time ago for a service I performed by Marid the Djinn, Lord of the Air. It really is a remarkably reliable vessel.
-
A Drop of Blood
Martha
We need a drop of blood from the one possessed to summon the demon. You need to scratch Cardsharp with something and tell him that you are carrying out vaccinations. Inject him with a vitamin and bring the needle here.
This drop of blood should be enough.
-
Pine Protection
Kira Woodville
I need to prepare the wound-healing infusion from cones in order to quickly deal with... let's say, work-related injuries. For the infusion, various cones are needed, so I rely on your help. Find some green pinecones.
You found the green pinecones. They're this color immediately after flowering, when they are filled to the maximum with useful substances. Rumor has it that they even protect against negative energies. But I personally value their ability to strenghten bloold vessels above all else.
-
Prayers in the Smoke
Martha
You found the lantern in the form of an incense tower. Decorate the alley at the Emperor's Palace with it, so that the citizens' prayers for the protection of the City will fly to the heavens!
-
Mysterious Ritual
Martha
It's a good thing Detective, Mayor, Huntress, Juliette and you all agreed to help. Sit at the five points of the pentagram, then we'll carry out the exorcism ritual. Could you please bring me the manuscript with the ritual text from my library?
Be quick and copy this text so everyone has one. We'll read it out loud at the same time.
-
Magic Ribbon
Martha
You've described a complex task. It seems that Cardsharp has had the curse of Avarice put upon him. I don't want to come to conclusions too quickly. I can carry out a ritual to find out what it is we're facing, but I'll need some of Cardsharp's personal possessions, like his cards, belt or top hat. If that is impossible, at least the ribbon from his top hat will do.
You did it. Wow! This is no simple ribbon; it has different colour magical symbols on it. They eithersignify a clan membership or the status of the owner. Ecxcellent, let's callu pon the astral powers.

Repair Work
Lady
We've collected all the nests blown down by the winter winds. But they are rather battered! To ensure this situation doesn't happen again next year, let's not only fix the nests but also endow them with durability and stability. Bring me the necessary artifacts.
Wonderful! We fixed all the nests - the artifacts made them much stronger. Look, the City has presented me with a fruit feeder for all the birds that will fly to our land for the first time! Let's hang it in the garden!
-
Special Architecture
Lady
I almost forgot - we should check the wagtails' house! Just as I thought, it was also blown down by the harsh winter wind. These funny birds need a special nest structure - their long tails don't allow them to dive into a house mid-flight. Try to find a house with a porch.
Where did you find this house with such a wonderful porch? I was sure that I checked everywhere here... Now we can patch it up, and my favorite wagtails will have a place to return to after wintering.

Mediterranean Charm
Valerie
The connection is obvious: the Italian artist created an Italian-themed painting, Adeline searched for it in Italy and ended up in the City along with the Italian Patio... Ugh, what a mess. It's obviously time to enter this Italian Patio and find out the truth. Let's go! Follow me! I mean... After you!
The Patio is like an Italian fairy tale! No wonder it inspired Giovanni di Fiori to paint his masterpiece. Just like in Adeline's sketch! Look, there's even some coffee waiting for us in the street cafe. Ugh... It's rather bland. And the coachman? Hey, mister! Everything here is so... lifeless.
-
Animated Room
Isabelle
I feel an extraordinary flow of energy through the slightly open door. It's as if the space within the Secret Room changes every second! Let's muster our courage and enter. I want to see the legend with my own eyes. And we must save Juliette!
The Secret Room's unusual items remind me both of a detective's and a scientist's office. There is something sinister about it... But I believe that the Secret Room is our ally. And our only chance to save Juliette before it's too late.
-
Starlings' Home
Lady
Just as I thought, the starlings' home was also blown down by a blizzard. These smart and sociable birds must have a home to return ot after wintering. Let's look for a wooden birdhouse.
It's so wonderful that you found the wooden birdhouse! We just need to patch up the roof a little, and it'll be ready to be hung back on the tree. My lovely starlings won't be left without a house when they return from the Forest of Spirits!
-
Daytime Shelter
Lady
You found the fallen owl dwelling! Now madam Hoot - the name I gave the owl who lived in this house - will have a place to return to after wintering in the Forest of Spirits.
-
Chatterbox's Home
Lady
I definitely remember that last year, a charming parrot's nest hung here. I taught it to distinguish between different styles of dish painting. Let's look for its coconut nest, which was blown down by the wineter wind!
Thank you for finding the coconut nest - it really was blown down by a bizzard. Now we need to fix it, and hang it in the garden back in its former place. Then my talkative parrot friend will be provided a house and have no problem returning after its wintering!
-
House under the Roof
Lady
There isn't a single bird who'd want to return to a ruined nest! Let's restore the birds' nests so they have a place to return to after wintering. Let's start by finding a wicker nest: the tits above my window lived in one.
You found the wicker nest! It looks like a basket of various sized twigs. I'll hang it in its old spot, and my little neighboring tits will have a place to return to after wintering in the Forest of Spirits.

Let's make the perfume
Mistress
I'm not going to make the perfume and get my hands dirty. That's your job. And be sure to choose an elegant falsk worthy of my beauty.
Finally! You are John Long the carrier. Oh, that scent... Very well, I shall not turn Juliette into a toad. She's more useful as a person anyway.
-
Fifth Ingredient
Mistress
Alright... Now bring me a bottle of spirits... And never mind your facetious remarks! I don't need whiskey! I'm not planning to drink it, but to use it as a solvent! Fool...
Wonderful. We have all the ingredients. Why are you looking so expectant? Waiting for tips? Ha ha ha!
-
Remember Everything
Lumica
I know how important it is to remember every day that you're not alone in order to not let ice crystals into your heart. I will create a special calendar to help Nicholas bear the burden of the Lord of Frost. Bring me some artifacts, I'll use them in my ritual.
-
Fourth Ingredient
Mistress
The scent must be delicate, refined. That means we need some Jasmine Extract... I don't know where to find it! That's your job! You can even make it yourself - there are some flowering jasmine bushes in the City.
Hmm... You didn't bring much Jasmine Extract, but it'll have to do. We'll say you found the fourth ingredient.
-
Third Ingredient
Mistress
Pleased that it's all been so easy so far? Let's see how quickly you find the next ingredient - White Musk. It's a natural substance, which increases attractiveness.
I see you found the White Musk. I must admit, you're not as hopeless as I first thought. We already have most of the perfume ingredients.
-
Second Ingredient
Mistress
The perfume base consists of woody notes. I need some Sandalwood Oil. And don't dawdle!
What? you got the Sandalwood Oil already? At this rate, by nightfall you'll have deprived me of turning Juliette into a toad.
-
Night-time Treatments
Martha
Now you know how to make medicinal vitamin cocktails for the Conductor. But without magic, we still can't pull it off. To restore vision, every night the Conductor needs to apply a Honey Dressing. It's not difficult, but can't be accomplished without a few City artifacts. Bring them, please.
I guarantee that after a course of vitamin cocktails and Honey Dressing, the Conductor's vision will improve. It's true that boggarts have a sweet tooth for honey. But this is not a problem for you, and besides, the Conductor is used to them. Thank you for your concern about the health of the City's citizens. You'll receive a small reward.
-
First Ingredient
Mistress
We can make my perfume by mixing the necessary ingredients. We'll start with something simple - bring me some Citrus Oil. Well, what are you waiting for? Go!
What are you so pleased about? The Citrus Oil is the most simple and easy to find ingredient. You can't relax yet!
-
Benefits of Chicory
Martha
Bring garden-variety Chicory and squeeze the juice from it. This will be the next ingredient in our secret magic-free recipe to improve vision. All our ingredients are entirely natural. The most important thing is for the Conductor to agree to take them.
I hope you didn't forget to wash the Chicory you found? One must never forget about hygiene. I have no doubts about your good sense.
-
Blueberry Drink
Martha
Last, but not least, is blueberries. It will be useful to you and to the Conductor. Bring some blueberries. Only fresh ones, not frozen. I hope you know where to get them.
You're simply an expert! Where do you find all this? The blueberries that you brought can also be juiced, but personally I prefer the whole berries.
-
Spinach Cocktail
Martha
The next ingredient in the magic-free recipe to improve vision is Spinach. I'll squeeze the juice from these leaves using my own strength.
It's wonderful that you brought so much Spinach. Bring it here. I'll bake a pie using what's left over.
-
Careful Exploration
Juliette
Let's look around the Greenhouse, mon ami. If someone asked for help, we could find them or at least their trail. I doubt the Greenhouse has an emergency exit to leave the building unnoticed. But be careful. If something happened in there, we could be in danger too.
There are many exotic birds and plants in the Greenhouse. I also see various unusual things from different parts of the world. But I can't see anyone who could leave a note with a plea for help. Where could they have gone? I think it's time to call the investigators!
-
To the Bird House
Valerie
Let's open the door to the Greenhouse. Where is the door handle? If someone left a call for help, they may be in mortal danger! Every minute could count! Okay, okay, I'm not panicking. It's just that this night-time ruckus is so exciting... Let's open the Greenhouse. Careful.
The door to the greenhouse opened easily, as if it had been used recently. The intoxicating aroma of exotic flowers is making me dizzy. Can you hear that? There are birds screaming and feathers rustling inside. But I can't see a single person in trouble.
-
Power of Love
Isabelle
Creating a mandala is a creative process that requires painstaking work. The design for the Mandala of Love should be especially beautiful so choose the best design. This is no easy task for you, but City artifacts will help give you patience.
The Mandala of Love you created is based on the beautiful lotus flower and the life-giving ways of the sun. Do you feel any closer to enlightenment?

Secrets of Love
Isabelle
The rain and thunder doesn't stop in the City of Shadows. How does this relate to Lady Peacock and her lover? The Mistress was unable to regain the alibity to love by using magic, but she is not someone who gives up easily. What actually happened on that fateful day in the Hotel when the Mistress met with Lady Peacock?
-
Broken Ring
Martha
From what Lady Peacock was saying, someone was using strong magic on their love. I feel the presence of an object in the Hotel which bears the traces of a powerful dark influence. To find it, we need the power of the City's artifacts. Bring them and we'll be able to find it.
Thank you! Here it is - the broken Engagement Ring. Lady Peacock's love suffered a powerful blow because of dark magic. However, their love has not diminished completely. Whilst ink rain down in the City, the poor girl is trapped living the same day over and over. What happened to the officer is unknown. I think the time has come to speak to the Mistress of the Manor.
-
Vexatious Blots
Lady Peacock
We couldn't see each other often, so we wrote to one another regularly. I even gave him special peacock feather quills so that the would remember me every time he wrote something. Will you find them?
These peacock feathers were also cursed. Once my beloved started to write me a letter; the feathers were broken, there were blots on the sheet and the ink dried up in the inkwell, Someone really wanted to prevent us from talking.
-
Blackened Stones
Lady Peacock
Something inexplicable started happeneing to my favourite things. I once had a necklace made of Indian gems. My boyfriend said it made me more beautiful than the dawn. Look for it in the Hotel and I'll tell you what happened.
This perfect necklace is the skillful creation of Indian craftsmen. Its gems are lustrous; yet almost overnight, most of the gems became black. As if something filled the gems with black anger and envy.
-
Following the Fiery Trail
Isabelle
As soon as I reached the steps to Jack's Tower, I felt the resence of an ancient entity. It's time we go upstairs and find out the source of this sinister flame. Be careful Halloween is a restless time when danger and fun go hand in hand!
We discovered a magical clock floating in the magic currents at the top of the Tower. That's the source of the fiery flashes that frightened the townsfolk. Look! The clock's hands are moving slower and slower... For some reason, I don't even want to think about what happenes when they stop.
-
Flashes of Alarm
Martha
If Jack is depressed, maybe the magical flashes from the Tower come from his anger and powerlessenss? We need to get closer to the Tower and look around in order to understand what kind of magic it is and whether it poses a threat to the City.
Can you feel the deathly silence enveloping us at the Tower steps? It's as if time itself is slowing its pace... A mystical flame is reflected on the stone walls. Shall we find out where it's coming from?
-
Internal Struggle
Agvid Hanson
I feel that my troll nature is still struggling inside me, trying to squeeze out the spring warmth that has returned to my heart. Help me find the source of inner harmony, which will always remind me of who I really am!
-
True Friendship
Detective
Do you know what I've leaned from this whole story? When you have reliable friends, problems no longer seem hopeless. Now, if you were turned into a troll, I'd know it was you from first sight. Have a nice spring holiday, buddy!
-
Dry Flowers
Lady Peacock
I belived nothing could stop our love. However strange troubles continued. Once, my beloved and I bought a vase in an antique Indian shop. Find it somewhere in the Hotel.
This Indian Vase is beautiful, isn't it? However, we soon discovered that the flowers in it withered very quickly. In just a day, the blossoming bouquet turned in dry and lifeless.
-
Broken Jewel
Lady Peacock
My beloved once gave me a wonderful box, adorned with a peacock made of precious stones; but unfotrunately a sad fate awaited this gift. You'll see for yourself when you find it.
This elegant Peacock Box is itself a jewel. I took great care of this token. Imagine my disapointement when I discovered that the box was broken. It was as if someone wanted to take my most precious possession away from me.
-
Broken Couple
Lady Peacock
After the ill-fated ball, where my beloved and I first saw the Mistress of the Manor, strange things started happeneing to us. Our gifts to each other, letters, any symbols of love were lost, broken of spoiled. For example, a pair of handmade wine glasses. Find them and you'll see for yourself.
I gave these handmade glasses to my beloved so that he'd always remember me. One of the wine glasses broke in less than a week. It was as if something prevented them from being together.
-
Long-Awaited Spring
Doorkeeper
I believe Agvid and don't hold it against him. By the way, my Dryad Key is already full of the spring energy. Let's give it a fastive look and open the gate. I can't wait to see the Maiden of Spring and tell her about Agvid. quick, let's go get the artifacts!
I'm not Martha, of course, but I also know a little magic. Look, we've surrounded the Dryad Key with enough artifacts to make it transform handsomely. Is this even my key? So, is everyone ready for the grand openieng of the Spring Gate? Let's meet the Maiden of Spring!
-
Troll Nature
Agvid Hanson
I decided not to give up and went looking for the box with the stolen energy. When I found out that the nature spirits had already appointed a new gatekeeper, I was furious. I even stole the triquetra they presented to the newcomer. Here, take it, I return what was stolen!
-
Cold in the Heart
Agvid Hanson
I didn't purposefully kill these Campaunula flowers by turning them into dead glass. Back then, I didn't know that a troll's touch is fatal to plants. So the nature spirits, not seeing any warmth in my heart, drove me away.
-
The All Conquering Love
Martha
What luck! The whole arsenal of the Mistress' bewitching tools are in our hands. They helped her achieve wealth and fame. Under the influence of the City's artifacts they'll give us an answer to the outcome of the Mistress' attempts to attact Lady Peacock's lover.
Excellent, you did it! The Mistress keeps all her visitor cards in this Card Holder. I knew it! The British officer's card is not here. The Mistress has hardly learned to live with it. I think this is the reason for the conflict, which has created so much trouble in our City. We need to deal with this as soon as possible, because the ink clouds have covered up the sky again.
-
A Blow Below the Belt
Mistress
I don't want to frighten you, but I think I'm finally aboe to achieve my goal. The odd couple, Lady Peacock and her admirer, challenged my magical abilities, so I was left with only one option... Bring me the ring and I'll tell you a secret.
This ring has a secret hiding place, and in it, there is an odourless and tasteless powder. It causes an unfailing love attaction; but that stubborn Englishman was not affected in the slightest!
-
Eloquent Gestures
Mistress
I decided to attact Lady Peacock's companion. So I started giving him tokens of attention, using the language of the fan. It always worked smoothly, especially since my fan is enchanted. Bring it to me.
Here's my magical fan! Unfortunately the young Englishman was immune to my charm. It was the first time my advances remained unanswered. I also observed that the officer and Lady Peacock barely spoke during the ball and didn't even dance.
-
Intoxicating Aroma
Mistress
Until now, no man could resist my charms, but Lady Peacock's companion was out of my control. I decided to use a perfume made by a special perfumer. Its flavour is able to deprive his mind. Find it and you'll soon see.
Here it is - the Perfume iwth a special fragrance. This fragrance conquered all except Lady Peacock's companion. There was no one for him but her and I noticed that the feeling was mutual.
-
Bloody Luster
Mistress
It was strange that there was a gentleman who wasn't paying me any attention at the ball. I wore a necklace with diamonds and blood-red rubies. When I wear it, no man can resist me. Bring it and see for yourself.
This is my gorgeous necklace. Do you like it? I thought so. The young officer who accompanied Lady Peacock, however, remained indifferent to it. I realised that despite their external restraint, they were in love with each other.
-
A Peak of Popularity
Mistress
There's one particular ballroom custom where a man presents the lady with a ribbon with bells as an invitation to dance. Usually by mid-evening, I normally have all the gentlemen's ribbons; but to my surprise, I never received a single ribbon. Bring me the Ribbon with Bells.
Did you bring me the Ribbon with Bells? At the ball I was supposed to get the same one from the young English officer, who came with Lady Peacock. It was obvious that he was just accompanying her as part of his official duties.
-
A Drawing and an Oath
Lady Peacock
From the moment I fell under the Mistress' delusion, I've been unsuccessfully trying to remember a drawing which was very important to me for some reason. Maybe you could recreate it using City magic?
Thank you. How could I forget! This drawing is of a pair of peacocks. My wedding wa to be held in Europe. While the groom's parents were getting ready for the trip, my lover and I met it secret: I felt like a bird in a cage. It was there the gave me the nickname, Lady Peacock. Once in the ruins of an ancient temple we drew Rangoli, a ritual figure with a pair of peacocks. Above it, we took an oatu to each other.
