Cold Hearth
Martha
The spirits have helped us send signs to the traveler wandering in the world of the dead in search of his sister. Let's see if he managed to get to the underworld. For this, I will need artifacts. Lend me some.
The artifacts are filling me with energy, and I see the Crane Lady, Ms. Hanako, leading the musician Uta along the tangled paths of the underworld. They go past the stone barrier, where the otherworldly hearth awaits them.
-
Invisible Helpers
Juliette
Ah, mon ami, I'm so worried about the mysterious musician Uta and Ms. Hanako, who is fearlessly setting off for the world of the dead to help him! Please help me build a hokora - a house of spirits. It will attract good spirits to help them.
What an amazing hokora house we've made. You have the magic touch, mon ami! I'll decorate the miniature sanctuary we made with cherry blossoms so that good spirits settle here as soon as possible.
-
Gates to the Other Worlds
Hanako
Once upon a time, a creator god was escaping from the world of the dead and threw a stone to block off the exit from his pursuers. Uta-san reached the stone barrier, and now he has to move it. I will help him, but for this I will need a copy of the stone barrier. Could you find it?
Amazing, you found the copy of the stone barrier! It has a strong connection to each of its copies. I will put my palm on it and turn into a crane spirit in order to be near the traveler and help him open the entrance to the world of the dead.
-
False Paths
Hanako
Uta-san is approaching a mountain pass. There are a tousand invisible portals to different worlds, and only one that leads to the world of the dead. To show him the right way, we need to ring the bell from Kumano. Help me find its miniature.
You succeeded! The bell from Kumano is unusually heavy in the world of the living, but in the underworld, even the lightest touch from an incorporeal spirit makes it ring. By striking it, we will show the traveler tie right path.
-
Pathfinding
Martha
I sense that Uta, led by the white heron, has found the right path, but soon the guide spirit will leave him, as it cannot go too far into the world on the dead. Find me some figurines of Jizo, I will ask this deity to direct the traveler through the underworld.
The Jizo figurines you found are perfect for contacting this patron of travelers.
-
Guide to Other Worlds
Hanako
Trying to save his sister, Uta-san went to the world of the dead. But only the spirits know the path a soul travels when leaving the world of the living. Help me call on a white heron - the guide that will help Uta-san find the right path in the underworld.
Look, a white heron is resting on a torii in the middle of the river. It wasn't there a moment ago, how did you manage to notice it? I'll go up to it in the guise of a crane and persuade it to help the musician Uta-san the right path in the underworld.
-
Kumiko's Story
Martha
We have everything to find out why Uta decided to challenge the will of his ancestors and what prevented them from reuniting with his sister. Bring me some artifacts - with them, I will call on Kumiko's spirit - an irikyo. This will help us understand the true reason for the musician's actions.
I kindle a long-cooled hearth under the kotatsu table, light the part of the house belonging to Kumiko with a lantern, and appeal to the memory of her kept by the biwa, furin, and the pink parchment hidden in the fubako. Come to us, Kumiko, and tell us about your fate!
-
Cards at the Gate
Cardsharp
It took me a long time to reshuffle the deck. Relations beween the cards are messed up; they quarrel, make peace, then quarrel again. Yet I managed to make some sense of their hubbub. The cards believe that someone else is at the Manor House gate. You should go back there - my cards never lie. At least, not to me.
The Ten and the King? Great! Only two cards remain, then my life will regain its former happiness. Yes, I'll keep my word; complete the task and the Joker is yours.
-
Important Notes
Detective
Buddy, I found several fubako case on the table. These gilded boxes surely store very important documents, much like an appeal to the Unseen Judges, right? Help me find a relevant scroll.
Well, well, my intuition did no fail me - there is something in the fubako box decorated with cranes. Firstly, the paper is pink, and secondly, the note is signed by a biwa master. I'm sure this is the missing musician. Here, check it out!
-
Music Without the Performer
Isabelle
I examined the Riverside Abode to understand where the music is coming from. It seems to fill space and time. Help me study the biwa. I presume that the musician asked the Unseen Judges for a magical instrument that can play a melody on its own.
Hmm, how strange... The biwa looks completely ordinary, and my traps don't react to it. If you hit the strings, the melody will be out of tune, unlike the one that has fascinated the citizens and caused the snow.
-
Shedding Light
Cardsharp
If I were the musician, I would only ask the Unseen Judges for wealth. Maybe the musician also asked for this? He seems to have lived very modestly - his house is only lit by a couple of fading andon lanterns, which ran out of oil long ago. Help me find more lanterns and light them.
How did you manage to find this andon lantern in the gloom of the Riverside Abode and light it? Well, let's continue the search! I'm sure that somewhere in this humble abode a real treasure is hidden!
-
Awaiting Guests
Juliette
Mon ami, take a look, the kotatsu table is set for two. I'm sure the musician who's playing this wonderful melody isn't hiding but just out for a stroll, having got tired of the hassle. While he's gone, let's take a closer look at the table. It's wrapped in the finest handmade blanket.
A kotatsu table is set over a hearth when dinner is ready, and then covered with a blanket to retain the heat longer. But the hearth under this table has long cooled. How can this be, mon ami? It turns out that the Riverside Abode has long been empty.
-
Musician's Request
Hanako
To find out why the musician appealed to the Unseen Judges, let's examine his abode. Sometimes, an appeal to the spirits is written down and attached to a furin wind chime. There are many of them in the musician's house. Let's read what is written there.
Look, on the chime you found, there's a poem attached dedicated to a certain Kumiko-san. The author asks for salvation from her malady. Maybe she's the musician's lover, and this is her home?
-
Important Evidence
Detective
The case is becoming more complicated - the musician who caused the snowfall in order to extend hanami has hidden somewhere safe, and left his biwa at the threshold. He must pass the trial of the Unseen Judges, but for what purpose? I'll write it all down in the Diary.
-
Awakening Spring
Maiden of Spring
I'm so glad to see living flowers, singing birds, lush leaves, fluttering butterflies and fresh berries. All of them will help me remove the curse and return true spring to the world of the Spirits of Nature. The coming of spring begins with the awakening of the Marmot who is sleeping a deep, magical slumber. Find several Easter artifacts - they will help me wake up this littel creature.
Look, look! The Marmot left his house! Nature is coming alive in the park - I'm sure the dark curse is leaving the world of the Spirits of Nature.
-
Headwear
Isabelle
Find a ghost? Whose ghost? Do we even have a name? Is there any item that belonged to him left? Was he wearing a Hat? Find it!
This isn't a hat, this is a chaperon. I think your ghost happens to be of very noble birth That sort of headwear was worn in the fifteenth century. Who knew how to play cards back then?
-
Dual Nature
Valerie
What bad luck! Every time I visit City Hall there's a werewolf hanging around the entrance. Clanking his chains, gnashing his teeth, whipping his tail around... I wonder why they want to invade the City?
So that is why they're searching the City! This Lycanthropy flower, the symbol of their transformation, must be carried at all times to help identify their kin.
-
Spring Berries
Conductor
I'll hlep you find some spring berries. I have a nose for them - I'm an expert in alcoholic berry beverages. Fllow me, I'll show you where to look.
The first berries of spring! They weren't easy to find amongst all the belladonna! There's no need to thank me for the help. Anyone sick of winter would have done the same in my place.
-
Fluttering Buterflies
Juliette
The park is full of frozen butterflies. It seems that all the spring colours have disappeared from the nature spirits' world. But all is not lost - only a couple of minute ago, I saw some fluttering butterflies. They frew by some little distance away - I'll show you where.
Such bright spring butterflies! They have a touch of spring magic within them as well. I hope this will help the Spirit of Spring dispel the evil charms.
-
Autumn Paradise
Juliette
Mon ami, I've heard a lot about the Fair and the wonders that took place in the square during the Thanksgiving celebrations. I never dreamed I'd get to go there. However, the fog is now gone and I can see everything with my own eyes. Let's open the gates leading to this magical place!
The square is now open! See how the sun's rays dance on the tiled roofs and paving stones, as if inviting us to enter? Ah, I can't wait!
-
The Trees Awaken
Isabelle
This year, the world of the nature spirits is full of anomalies. The sunshine isn't warm, and even the trees don't want to open up their leaves. But recentl, while walking through the park, I saw a few branches of a blossoming willow. Find them for the Spirit of Spring.
What a wonderful and delicate bouquet the blossoming willow made! I'm sure this beauty will help the Spirit of Spring. The nwinter will finally come to an end in the City.
-
The Ace of spades
Cardsharp
The Ace is the highest card in the suit. It would never leave the lower cards unattended. Spades have an innate desire to control. The Ace shouldn't be far from the other cards of the suit.
We have the Ace, only four cards remain. But finding them will not be an easy task!
-
Marks of Excellence
Valerie
I looked in the City Hall archives to learn more about the train driver. It turns out that his uniform requirements included special Lapel Badges. I think I saw similar ones on the platform. Bring them, please.
Let's see what you've brought. Wow! These Lapel Badges are made of silver! Yes, Sanetti is truly a luxurious train. Even the driver's Marks of Excellence are made of precious metal!
-
We found the theif!
Detective
Could Cardsharp really be mixed up in this? I'll question him. In the meantime, put all the clues into a file. If the theif doesn't own up, it'll be our main evidence in court.
Cardsharp cracked right away. I didn't even have to use my special interrougation technique. Get a load of this... he stole the Amulet so he could win the big Millennium Card Tournament!
-
Exact Time
Conductor
To save the Detective, you need to find out why the passengers turned into toys. The kid may know the answer to this question, but he's as silent s the grave. Using my device we could find out something aobut these events. This requires the belongings of someone who is aware of all the details, such as the driver. Start with the clcok. The driver is obliged to keep the train on schedule, so he cannot do without a chronometer.
You managed to find the driver's Hanging Clock. Look, it even has the railway company logo on it! Apparently, these clocks were given to drivers so that they could check their travel time.
-
Spades with us
Cardsharp
We must place the cards in a special box that will protect them from the City and the City from them. But back to the point: speades are a nocturnal suit, so you have a greater chance to find it by moonlight. We should took look for it at night.
Give me those cards, quickly! My hands are shacking with excitement - I'm touching the spades for the first time in many years. Wait, the suit is incomplete. Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten are missing - the Black Straight. They're the top spades and the whole deck. Why can't we find them? Something's going on, here.
-
Obedient Diamonds
Cardsharp
When I have two suits, I again feel the secret connections between the cards. When I lost the deck I lost a part of my soul... The Diamonds are in the Manor Gate area. They are very amenable.
Yes, my diamond! Let me put the cards together... Hey, guys, stop quarreling; don't you recognize each other? You are united again, so get used to it! Don't look like that - I'm not crazy! Don't you hear the fuss the cards make? No? Only a professional card player can hear it.
-
Thief
Cardsharp
Did you see a werewolf near the Station? He has the Ace! Tender, vulnerable card in the clutches of that hairy monster... Please, recue the Ace, quickly!
I was so worried while you were gone. Even my top hat sweated with excitement! Have you brought the Ace? Great, all the clubs are assembled.
-
Song of the Lark
Valerie
The Spirit of Spring asked you to find items of true spring? I'd be glad to help - I have an excellent ear. I hear the warbling of a lark in the distance. I'm sure it hasn't been touched by winter magic. I'll point you in the right direction to look for it.
The songs of the lark fill my heart with hope. In them lives a spark of spring magic. I'm glad I could help!
-
First Flowers
Detective
The Spirit of Spring has asked us to find little pieces of spring that have avoided the corruption of the withering magic. But where to look? The park is full of withered flowers, frozen birds and butterflies, needles and belladonna... Wait... I think I smell snowdrops. Yes! There's definitely some nearby. Let's find them!
I thought all the flowers had withered, but no - you managed to find a Flowering Snowdrop! Within it is sealed part of the lost spring magic!
-
Two Suits
Cardsharp
I spread a few combinations and the cards confirmed my guess: the Top Clubs are near where the lower ones were. You claim they aren't there? But they could be nearby, at the Station, say. Cards don't lie; it's worth checking.
We now have Clubs and Hearts, black and red, righteous warriors and crafty fellows - they balance each other. Half the deck is in my hands... Oh no! The Ace of Clubs is missing!
-
Severe Clubs
Cardsharp
Clubs are next. When that plane crashed into the Station I felt a burst of magical energy - my cards calling. They must have been hidden nearby and the accident woke them. Magic cards can't be damaged by fire, but I'm still worried about my Club Suit. Please find it quickly!
You found only the lower clubs? But I can feel the others in the Station area! Give me them, I want to hold them in my hands again.
-
Code Equation
Kira Woodville
The inventor's suitcase is filled with some kind of glass covered with formulas. I sorted them by number for an hour to put in the file! Hey, where did tablet go? Black will skin me alive! Please help me find it!
This is the one. Without your help, I wouldn't have found this glass piece full of formulas! And why did the inventor write his formulas on transparent glass? Has he never heard of paper?
-
Spring Helpers
Maiden of Spring
Wonderful! You managed to assemble the Spring Fairy outfit. Now I can perform the ritual to summon this beautiful little careature. All I need are a few spring amulets to strengthen my weakened spells.
Wonderful, we did it! The outlines of the fairy have appeared in a twinkling cloud!
-
Spring Amulet
Maiden of Spring
The power of nature awakening is reflected in the Sunshine Talisman. It's somewhere nearby, I feel it. Bring it, please - it's the last piece of the traditional Spring Fairy outfit.
Here it is, the Sunshine Talisman. This amulet is full of the warmth of the spring sun. It's the final piece of the Spring Fairy outfit.
-
Spring Branch
Maiden of Spring
Every Spring Fairy must have a staff. It looks like an ordinary branch, but it has so much of the power of nature within it that new flowers keep growing and growing on it. Find one, please, and make sure not to mix it up with just any old stick.
Thank you. One glance is enough to see that this Flowering Staff is full of the magic of spring.
-
Leaf Belt
Maiden of Spring
The traditional Spring Fairy outfit always includes an elegant belt woven from green leaves. It won't be easy to find green leaves in the park right now, but I'm sure you'll manage it.
You made an elegant belt of fresh leaves. The fairies themselves are no less elegant, believe me.
-
The Path Begins
Hanako
The melody is drawing me inside the Riverside Abode. I feel that I'm destined to help the musician pass the trial of the Unseen Judges! Let's go inside, it will be calmer for me with you there.
It seems that someone was going on the road but never took their belongings, including lunch and a sun umbrella. Take a lock - the biwa, the sounds of which caused the snowfall, is lying on the Riverside Abode's threshold. Has the wanderer not started his journey?
-
Finding the Invisible One
Detective
We need to take a closer look at the Riverside Abode in order to figure out whether there are secret rooms or anything else in there. I'm sure the musician is hiding somewhere inside and is just pretending to be invisible. come, buddy, let's look around.
I didn't see anything suspicious, did you? Yes, a quiet backwater, a moored boat, the cherry garden covered with a snow cap, and this music... I just don't get it, where does it come from?
-
A Spell of Invisibility
Martha
I was experimenting with an intricate spell a little while ago when there were certain... complications. All in all, everything turned out okay; I'm still in one piece, but my protective charm - a diadem with a black onyx - wasn't quite so lucky. Now an invisibility spell lies on the charm, but the power of the spell only weakens at midnight. Yet midnight is the most favorable time for communicating with spirits, so I can't miss it. I'd really appreciate your help searching for the diadem.
Thanks for your help. The City really lucked out when it took you. I'm sorry you were captured by the fog like the rest of us, but who knows what'll happen next? A frightening beginning can often be a sign of a happy ending.
-
Flower Crown
Maiden of Spring
Spring fairies love wreaths. Look for flowers for a wreath in the park. Try and bring me a wreath made of meadow flowers.
Yes! This is the perfect wreath, woven from the first flowers of spring! This wreath is the best decoration for a Spring Fairy.
-
Grass Outfit
Spirit of Spring
Thank you! As soon as you took that terrible Black Wreath away I was able to break out of my prison, but my mind is still clouded. One of the spring fairies might be able to help me. They love outfits and always appear if there's a chance to try on something new. Bring me a Spring Fairy outfit. Start your search with a dress woven of fresh green grass.
Oh, you found the Grass Dress for the Spring Fairy so quickly! It's beautiful, don't you think? I hope the other parts of the outfit turn up just as quickly.
-
Corrupted Spring
Martha
All clues indicate that something has deprived spring of the scent of flowers, birdsong, bright colours and warmth this year. I think that with the help of a ritual, I can find out more about what is happeneing in the world of the nature spirits. But I can't do it without your help. Put together all the clues we found and surround them with artifacts of the City.
Look, the ritual made a Black Wreath appear next to the ghostly silhouette of the Spirit of Spring. It has so mush evil in it! Just look - the wreath is woven from dead flowers, needles and belladonna. It's the Black Wreath that's draining the Spirit of Spring's power! If we take it across the Bridge into the City, the spell will weaken.
-
Poisonous Fruit
Detective
While inspecting the park, I hurt my hand badly and now the wound is swollen... The first greenery of spring is usually gentle. What did I injure myself on? Could you find out, while I bind the wound?
You found some Belladonna? So that's what I pricked my hand on! Belladonna is terribly poisonous. It's as if nature has been corrupted. All around are spines and needles, and Belladonna is one every bush.
-
Frozen Hues
Detective
In the winter, everything takes on a grey tone. But spring comes, and right before our eyes, a transformation takes place. Nature is full of vibrant hues and greenery. But the first butterflies...! Juliette loves the spring butterflies. But where are they now? We spent all day at the picnic, but didn't see a single butterfly. Look around - maybe you can find one of them.
A spring butterfly covered in ice? Alas, in this state they won't please anyone but entomologists. Without these wonderful creatures, spring won't be anywhere near as bright and beautiful.
-
The Sewers
Detective
We have everything to open the location. Open the door and find out what mysteries the City has been storing behind it for so many years.
Great! The location is now unlocked and available for exploration.
-
Without Warmth
Detective
What else has gone wrong in the world of the nature spirits? In the spring, the world awakens from its winter sleep. That means that in a few days, green leaves start to appear on the trees. Inspect a few of the trees in the area.
The buds on many trees haven't even opened up. Some evil force is preventing the trees from awakening.
-
Talking cards
Cardsharp
I spoke to the cards you found. The lower Hearts told me their higher borothers and sisters were near a gilded gate - the Manor House Gate. How can Cards talk? Not with words but the combinations when they're spread. This Deck... I can use it to play the whole City. I'll tell you later what it means and let you learn wonderful things. But now, please, look for the remaining cards by the Gate.
Now I have all the Hearts. I was wrong to doubt your abilities.
-
Unliftable Knowledge
Kira Woodville
It's said in the newspaper that the scientist came to the City with a large suitcase: "It was very heavy for others due to the weight of knowledge that was stored in it." Hmm, it would've been more useful to know the size or material the suitcase was made of, or any distinctive features. All right, I'll figure it out myself. Do you think it may be one of those suitcases? Let's check!
Wow, it's such a heavy thing! Help me out! The inventor's suitcase is absolutely unliftable! Let's look at its contents and put everything in order so that it'll be easier for me to organize later.
-
Into the Unknown
Kira Woodville
You have everything you need to send a capsule containing questions about Jacob's fate. Let's put your badge, Jacob's ID card and token into the capsule. I think it would be reasonable to add a fre artifacts as an offering.
Everything is ready! I'm sending the capsule into the unknown, and maybe... What? An answer came back almost instantly! Hurry, open it! There's a map of the Upper City inside. It's marked with the name "Jacob". See? Your friend is very close!
-
Something Valuable
Kira Woodville
To find out about Jacob's fate, we need to send a capsule through a special pneumatic tube. But we need to give something valuable in exchange, filled with special memories and meaning. Let's find it!
The Secret League Badge? You said it was the only thing from your world... You were a member of that society with Jacob. Well, that's a worthy gift!
-
Bang-bang-clang-clang!
Detective
There's such clatter near the temple that I thought the dragon had arleady arrived! However, it turns out that our new musicians are practising. I know this will be a fitting addition to the orchestra. Bring the Chau Gong.
I didn't know the Chau Gong was so big. Now it's clear why they use it in street processions rather than indoors. Hmm... I'm going off to practice getting the loudest rand clearest sound from the Chau Gong.
-
The Signature Is Illegible
Angelique
It is important for me to know who invented me and why. I have found the workshop yet again and brought you the Puppeteer's surviving correspondence. The papers are damaged by the fog's dampness, but with some tools we can find the letter from the customer of the mannequins.
-
Dong-bong-chang-clong!
Valerie
wow, you've just assembled a percussion orchestra! Could you also bring Brass Cymbals? After the dragon's awakening I'll give them to Alex... Maybe we could even put a band together.
Let me try to play... Whoa, what a sound! I'm sure the sound of these clanging cymbals will wake up the dragon!
-
Embodiment of Desires
Carlos Light
Have you seen how unique my glass is? For the superlamp, I came up with a glass compound that would even fulfill wishes. The lamplighters want to drive away the fog, right? This'll do it. Help me assemble the superlamp, you have some wonderful tools.
Hmm, why does the lamp we've made look like a house? And it shines like... a home fire! Of course, this is my biggest wish - to return home to my children. This means that the glass with obsessidian doesn't fulfill wishes but embodies them! I have to work on the formula a bit more.
-
Shimmering World
Carlos Light
I wanted to add a phantom opal to the superlamp glass. I experimented a bit, but then I changed my mind. The glass was good and even glowed a little, but it distracted the lamplighters from their service. I inserted it into that screen, take a look.
It turned out to be an entertaining kind of screen - its glass with phantom opal flickers, and pictures running on it... You could sit here all evening, just watching them flicker.
-
Green Light
Carlos Light
I had high hopes for phytoglass with clayoprase and chalcepeat. In such a lamp, the crystals gradually grew larger. Black rejected it all though, so I attached that glass to a garden spinner. Help me find it.
Would you look at that, the spinner is overgrown again. That's because phytoglass is good at stimulating growth. It was difficult with the lamps: you couldn't put them down for a second without bindweed twining around them.
-
Source of Cool
Carlos Light
I've tried many compounds and I think I'm ready to make the glass for the superlamp. It's a shame you can't add frost quartz to it - a lamp with such glass would make your hands freeze. I need to install the window casing. It's here somewhere, look around.
The frost quartz glass is clear and very cool. In the heat, I simply fix this casing above the window and enjoy the cold.
-
Dreams in Color
Carlos Light
Have you heard about wizard gemrocks? I added these stones to the lamps' glass once. It turned out to be very beautiful, but it made the lamplighters fall asleep. Now this glass is in my bedroom window. Come, let me show you.
This glass with gemrocks inspires colorful dreams. I agree with Black, it's not very practical to use in the lamps, but I continue to experiment. Although he did ask me to stop.
-
Light and Warmth
Carlos Light
Not everyone likes my inventions. Mr. Black almost closed down my workshop once. He burned himself on the fire glass I put on his lamp. I meant well: to make a lantern that would emanate light and warmth, but I miscalculated. Now I'm heating my house with this glass, I've put it into the fireplace screen. There it is, look.
Inside this fireplace screen, there's glass made of a special alloy with sparkling pyrite. It emits heat, can you feel it? I don't need my fireplace burning anymore, now I just bask in the fire glass.
-
Foggy Provocation
Carlos Light
Here we go - the magnetic funnels, catalyst, searchlights and turbine are installed properly inside the fog trap's force net. I'm nervous just like before a first date... Hmm, how come I still remember it? Tighten all the bolts on our contraption, and then we'll try to turn it on.
The fog trap has been activated successfully! A patch of fog is locked up inside! Is it me ore is it transforming? Now it looks like a human silhouette... Why, that's my daughter Vera! She's exactly as I remember her. Vera, my girl, where are you, are you okay?
-
Ardent Engine
Carlos Light
I have no doubt in the portable turbine's power. Judging by the description in the statute, it needs to be installed at the fog trap's base. Let's hurry up and complete the work by assembling a powerful turbine.
This portable turbine is small yet efficient. It will energize all the fog trap's component parts. I can't wait to run it!
-
Light and Color
Carlos Light
The next step in building the trap looks impler: we need to assemble polychromic searchlights. I don't know how they'll keep the fog in, but I already have some multicolored glass for them. Help me assemble the parts correctly.
The polychromic searchlights turned out great! They look a bit frivolous, but their description was written by the Collector himself and I trust his knowledge.
-
Special Part
Carlos Light
An important part of the fog trap is the topological catalyst, a special solution in an intricate flask. I've already made the flask and prepared the solution, but pouring it inside isn't so simple. I need your help.
Phew, we made it! The topological catalyst seems strange but it matches the description in the statute. It should enhance the trap's effect on the fog.
-
Gravitational Pull
Carlos Light
To trap the fog, we need magnetic funnels - it's what the instructions in the Fellowship of Lamplighter's statute say to do. I have magnets, let's try to make funnels out of them. Help me assemble them.
These magnetic funnels turned out to be quite powerful! I haven't noticed the fog reacting to magnets, but we'll check how it works soon enough.
-
Strong Net
Carlos Light
In my experiments with the fog, I've not made much progress: I only know that the fog samples disappear without a trace from any test tube or box. In the statute's description, it's recommended to assemble a force net as the shell of the trap. This is genius! I've prepared the necessary elements, let's combine them into the net.
The force net looks very thin and... netlike. How can it hold the fog in? It's only the first part of the trap though. Let's continue.
-
Star Map
Carlos Light
With your help, we've collected very durable minerals; among them granite, sandstone, basalt, moissanite and even diamond. Rayden has placed the stones around the locket, the trap with the fog is ready. Bring your special tools to release the locket's energy.
A great start - the stones didn't collapse and they've begun to glow. Let's see... No, unfortunately, they had no effect on the fog. Some kind of pattern formed over them though... It's the starry sky! It seems that the locket has created a stone observatory.
-
Boom-bam Thumder in my Ears...
Conductor
Why are you messing around, pal? A small drum, bells - you want to wake the dragon with these? I suggest finding a serious noise maker. Bring Taiko Drums.
Here is a worthy instrument! The Taiko Drum is used in street processions and orchestras. Its booming sound will completely shatter the dragon's sleep!
-
Tram-tam-tam-taram...
Alex
We need to wake the dragon! Maybe you could try a Damaru Drum? I used this instrument as concerts because of its mobility and interesting sound. Find the damaru. It's a drum with a handle and two balls on strings.
I'll show you how to play the damaru. You have to rotate the drum around its axis so the balls strike the drumhead. You see, it's not at all difficult. Get the hang of it and you can even scare away evil spirits like they do in Tibet. I hope this also helps to awaken the Dark Dragon.
-
Ding-dong-ding...
Huntress
mein herr, Valerie is right! What's the point of collecting weapons if the enemy is asleep? Also, this is the right strategic move to wake up the Dragon. We'll know exactly when and where we can expect the enemy! We'll continue to follow Valerie's plan. We'll make a huge racket. First, find something simple, such as Bells.
You found excellent Bells, which are called "wind catchers". Only it seems to me that their ringing is so melodic they will lull the dragon to sleep rather than wake it up.
-
Cache
Kira Woodville
So, if we connnect the points where the tray with dust, dynamite, protractor and stones from the Rift are located, we get a star, and in the center is a chache marked with the letter "C". Haha, I'm joking! But I really did find the Cache. Take a look, there's awhole collection of minerals inside.
-
Diamond's Hardness
Rayden Storke
I also have some valuable mineral for the experiment. I once got a piece of rock with diamonds from a scavenger. The crystals are small, but they'll do to check the locket's effect. Where have I put it? Help me find it.

Let's hurry to the rescue!
Inspector
A different dimension? I still can't believe that a whole park, not to mention me, could have teleported from jolly old England to here, the City of Shadows. I'd really like to know more about this place. I'm sure this City is full of secrets and mysteries. But I'm afraid there's no time. We need to open the gate and find out what happened in the park. Hurry, Miss Angela could be in mortal danger - I heard gunshots.
The park is breath-taking: a quiet lake and a lawn, flower beds and shrubs... clear air filled with the scent of flowers. I can see a large house covered in greenery. The harmonious landscape leaves no doubt that this place was created to inspire. Angela sure has good taste. But where is she?

One Hundred Years of Waiting
Lady Peacock
I can't believe that 100 years of seclusion are coming to an end. Please, take my hand and escort me to the Pier. I don't feel steady on my feet and I'm afraid of fainting upon seeing my Captain...
What's this?! There's not a single living soul on the ship's deck? It's completely empty! No, no, this can't be! Where is my dear Captain?

Destiny's Reward
Martha
Would you like me to tell your fortune? Keep your filthy lucre. The cards know all. Here are your three cards: Fate, Obstacle, and Wild Beast. Do you understand? No? It's easy: defeat a wild beast, and destiny will reward you. Werewolves come to our City from time to time. Defeat one and be rewarded.
Nicely done! Here, take my alchemical flask, it'll help develop your talents much more quickly. I feel like we're running out of time. I still can't tell what's going to happen and when: all I have are guesses and intutitions...

Connection Energy
Martha
You've found all the parts of the Dragon Master's Wand! We must use it to save the City of Shadows from destruction. Separating the wand into pieces required an enormous amount of magical energy, and the same is required to put it back together. My powers aren't enough. Bring artifacts that will allow me to use the City's magic.
Our ritual succeeded! The Dragon Wand is whole again. Hot flames have enveloped parts of the wand, but I, the Chosen One, am not afraid of fire. Not only can I subdue the dragon, but I can calm the elements! Oh, for some reason I'm very enthusiastic! Forgive me. The temple's third test has been passed. Thank you for your help.

Deceptive Beauty
Huntress
A very rare nocturnal monster... the Moon Werewolf, has appeared in the City. His fur, siliver in the moonlight, is really pretty but his huge pointy canine teeth contradict the whole look. Unless you happen to have an obsidian dagger, you might not see another dawn.
A Moon Werewolf is an eternal prisoner of the full moon. Under its pale light he becomes faster than wind, stronger than a hurricane and more dangerous than lightning. But those who dare to fight him will be generously rewarded.

Source of Life
Valerie
The Dark Dragon is evil and heartless! Our mission is to return the Eastern dragon's benevolence and mercy. The Master's Wand surely has a detail in the shape of the dragon7s heart. Find it to make the scaly creature kinder.
This stone is definitely the Dragon Heart! See, it shines with five colours and glows as if it contains all the fire of the earth... It even seems that while holding the dragon heart in my hands, I become nobler, more honest and wiser.

Underground Life
Kira Woodville
The deeper the seekers dug, the more surprises they found. See a stone overgrown with greenery? Here it is, standing on the table like a flower pot. Take a closer look, I'm sure you'll understand how unusual it is.
This Flower in the Stone was taken from the mine of mystical dust, although there's nothing that would contribute to the growth of plants. I doubt the Collector would've missed that fact.
-
Price of Success
Fabien Delamode
I've been hoping that I wouldn't have to say this until the very end... The key was the Puppeteer's special ring. I have it somewhere, I'll find it now, but to start the equipment we'll need some more tools, prepare them.
To my deepest regret, the soul ring worked: the Puppeteer's ingenious invention has turned on and the reverse soul transfer process has begun. Look, Anna has come to her senses! Angelique, you've reached your goal, although you will never know about it...

Moissanite's Uniqueness
Carlos Light
For the experiment, I'm ready to sacrifice a very rare minerarl - moissanite. It's found only at the sites where meteorites fall. I had a polished piece of moissanite in a frame, let's look for it.
-
Study of Solids
Kira Woodville
I'm sure that when the seekers of these particles found the luminous mineral, the Collector also gave it his attention. It wasn't a diamond, it was something cosmic. "Startone" they called it in the camp. Take a look, it's in a stand nearby.
This "Starstone" was confiscated immediately, supposedly for study. Who, if not the Collector, was most interested in exploring this cosmic stone?
-
Imperial Claws
Conductor
After I came across the "Law of the Five Claws" from Tianxia in the City Hall's archives, it seems to me that the Dragon Master's Wand must include dragon claws. They'll be small, no more than half a metre. Look in the nooks and crannies, they must be around here somewhere.
That's it! You found the Dragon Claws that decorate the Master's Wand. Chinese law declared the five-clawed dragon to be the symbol of the emperor. Ordinary people, under the threat of death, were forbidden to wear clothing with this animal's image. Have you counted how many claws are on our wand?
-
Ornate Decoration
Cardsharp
Remember the winged shadows that have been sailing over the streets of the City of Shadows lately? I'm certain the Dragon Master's Wand must have wings, to help stop these flying nightmares. Look for the Dragon Wings in the temple.
Right on! The wings you found are a piece of the Dragon Master's Wand. Did you know that Chinese dragons don't always have wings? It turns out their ability to fly isn't a physical but magical property. I've heard that Chinese dragons rise into the sky thanks to a lump on the back of their head.
-
Intricate Knob
Huntress
Martha will use the Master's Wand to tame the dark force that lies in the scales of the powerful and wise Eastern dragon. If the cane is made in the shape of a serpent's body, there's no doubt that a dragon head will top the wand. Find the top of the wand.
You did it! See, I was right! The top of the wand turned out to be a dragon's head. Did you know that Chinese dragons hear not with their ears but with their horns? It's such an interesting feature.
-
Solid Foundation
Detective
So, Martha is the Chosen One capable of subduing the dragon... I'm not surprised. To defeat the monster, she needs the Dragon Master's Wand. Well, now the objective is absolutely clear - we must scour the temple in search of the missin wand pieces. Let's start with the cane. It's fairly big, so finding it should be quite easy.
Excellent! You found the cane so quickly. I hope the other pieces will be as easy. By the way, did you notice the cane is made in the shape of a dragon's body? We need to count the scales on the wand. A Chinese dragon should have exactly 117.

The Key to Life
Angelique
Everything is ready for the reverse soul transfer process. We have to start right now to save Anna, but I see that to start the equipment we need an unusually shaped key in the form of an arc. Perhaps the scissor handle will do. Let's try.
You have brought graceful silver scissors. These are your favorites, are they not, Fabien? I thank you, but they are not a suitable key. We have to urgently find another solution, Anna's time is running out.
-
Closing the Circle
Martha
The fiery phoenix, a bird of the night, guards the Pearl of Wisdom. We must convince it that the artifact's power will not be used for sinister purposes. The Sons of the Dragon can help us. They'll confirm that our intentions are pure and bring us good luck. To summon them as allies, I'll combine them into a magic circle and you can collect some City artifacts. The temple's second test requires a greater expenditure of magical energy.
Amazing! Look what happened as a result of the ritual! As soon as the Sons of the Dragon's magical circle closed, the phoenix - the bird of the night appeared with its fiery plumage.

Weirdo with a Ruler
Kira Woodville
Among the seekers of these particles, a gentlman appeared. We called him "a crank with a protractor." He carried this strange thing with him everywhere. On one of the City's stands his protractor is covered in dust. Come, I'll show you.
-
Special Pipes
Kira Woodville
No one knows why, but some pneumatic tubes are different from others. I'm certain that if you send a gift through them, you can get something valuable in return. But first we need a Pneumatic Mail Capsule. Bring it.
Great! We have a capsule and Jacob's ID card. This is enough to ask a question to someone who is considered all-konwing in the Upper City.
-
Basalt's Durability
Rayden Storke
I saw the head of a deity made of stone here somewhere. Carlos says it's basalt, a mineral of volcanic origin. Let's check how the locket's power is going to affect it. Find the basalt statuette for the experiment.
-
Sandstone's Reliability
Carlos Light
For the experiment, I have an ancient contraption I traded with the scavengers - millstones. I hope they can withstand the locket's power and charge with some anti-fog energy. Bring the millstones, I left them at the door.
These millstones are made of durable sandstone. Let's try to awaken the anti-fog properties in this mineral during the experiment with the locket.
-
Granite's Hardness
Carlos Light
For the experiment, we need to collect the most persistent minerals. I'm counting on the fact that the locket's power won't destroy them, but instead give them some anti-fog properties. We should definitely test granite - it's avery hard stone. I have a granite statuette, look around.
You found my little granite sphinx. It's thousands of years old, yet it's still as good as new. Let's see if granite can withstand the energy of the locket.
-
Mysterious Transformation
Carlos Light
Hmm, rayden's locket has become lighter... Had it accumulated so much energy that it affected its weight? We need to do additional research. I'll bring the locket closer to a lamp with a weak crystal, and you can gently work on it with your special tools.
An energy surge again! Only this time, the flash was smaller, and it concerntrated on the lamp. Wow, look how it's changed! I'll take measurements, of course, but it looks like it has turned into a superlamp. The light it's emanating is kind of uneven though...
-
Negative Result
Carlos Light
So, Rayden's locket contained some kind of energy that has released and changed the crystals. Now we need to check how they affect the fog. Bring me the trap, a fog sample is locked up in it.
There was a substantial sample of fog, but now it's gone. The trap is reliable - it's one of the Collector's inventions. That means the locket's energy destroyed the fog. Unbelievable!
-
Energy Charge
Carlos Light
I don't see any other source except the locket from where the energy could have erupted, but that's absurd. Let's look at the crystals modified by its energy wave. Find my refractometer.
Judging by the refractometer's readings, the anti-fog crystals' nature has changed. I'd venture to suggest that they've been recharged... by at least one thousand percent!
-
Great Change
Carlos Light
Are you all right? Some strange energy wave swept through the workshop when I tried to test Rayden's locket. There were some exhausted crystals lying here. Did you see where they went?
Are you sure you found the same defunct anti-fog crystals? No, I believe you. It's just that now they look... different.
-
No Explosions Allowed
Kira Woodville
Seekers of these particles captured the Rift area. Explosions were forbidden as local authorities were afraid of landslides and earthquakes; so tons of dynamite were confiscated. There's a heap of it in every administrative building. See for yourself.
Look, the letter "C" is stamped on all the Dynamite Sticks. I bet they belonged to the Collector. I told you he was also among the seekers of these particles.
-
Durability Test
Carlos Light
Take a look, the locket isn't just shaped like an apple - it is an pple, only made of metal... or stone. I can't determine by eye. We need to try and affect this material. Pass me the punch stamps.
I'll preff with this punch stamp here... Monsters and Defenders, what was that?! A lightning bold? It was as if I were in the epicenter of an explosion... but nothing was destroyed.
-
Exquisite Workmanship
Carlos Light
Rayden's brought me quite an intersting locket. He was hesitating so much when he gave it to me, as if he didn't want to part with it. Well, let's try and run a quick analysis to find out what makes this small locker so heavy. We'll need a ball vise, look for it.
This bullseye vise is very convenient for holding jewelry. Hmm, what exquisite workmanship! I don't know who made this locket, but they were a real master.
