Unexpected Find
Mr. Black
We have everything we need to open the backpack belonging to the authors of the threatening letters. The contents should lead me to its owner and to a bigger fish... I've managed to obtain the combination, but the lock is jammed. I need tools, will you lend me some?
I'm ready to admit that your absurd idea worked. But if it wasn't for my brilliant knowledge and skill of using encryption disks, it's unlikely we would've succeeded... The lock has finally opened. Oh no, the backpack is full of dangerous minerals! Quick, hold your nose, don't inhale their fumes!
-
Help from Nowhere
Kira Woodville
To get information about Jacob, we'll need help. Perhaps the recipient sitting on the other side of the pneumatic tubes will answer you. But to send a message, we need capsules. Search for the Mail Machine, it must be here.
Pneumatic mail capsules are usually stored in mail machines so that they don't lie around. Let's get a capsule from the Mail Machine.

Under the Sails of Love
Juliette
After so many years of waiting, the day has finally come when Lady Peacock will reunite with her beloved. Imagine, we'll withness the culmination of a 100-year-old love story! Open the gate to the Pier before the poor thing's heart bursts!
The gate is open! I see an old ship with white sails entering the harbour. It's ploughing through the bay's water, shining in the sun and is slowly approaching the Pier.
-
Surprise for Martha
Martha
The spirits led you to our City for a reason. You found all the parts of the scrying orb that was stolen from me. But all these things were cursed. Help me conduct a ritual that will return the orb's ability to tell fortunes and peek into the future.
Thank you for returning my crying orb to me. Now, after a hundred years, I can tell fortunes again. Please, take this artifact as areward.
-
Someone on the Other Side
Kira Woodville
Many in the Upper City don't believe that the department's pipes lead somewhere. But I know for sure that there's a recipient on the other side. And he knows a lot. To send a capsule, you'll need a token. Will you look for it?
With this token, we'll be able to send a message and learn about Jacob's fate. The token serves as a sort of payment instead of coins.
-
Searching for Mystical Dust
Kira Woodville
I was six when my parents arrived here in the City, before the Distortion. They were gold-diggers, but they left their mine for the sake of mystical dust, which was mined from the City's Rift. We worked day and night to see at least a couple of glowing particles in our mineral trays. Somewhere here was a sample, let's find it.
That's not gold in the tray you found. It's soil! Upon contact with particles from the Rift, it acquired new properties. I'm sure that this attracted the Collector to the City.
-
Capsule's Mystery
Mr. Black
I'm confiscating the capsule that was delivered by the messenger pigeon. It must contain confidential information, just look how well it's sealed. Hmm... I have a suggestion for you: if you can open the capsule, I'll let you see what's inside. You'll need tools.
So, the pigeon brought us a note... with a cipher! It looks like these exact signs were used to encrypt the Fellowship of Lamplighters' statute. That means we can now read it and learn something important about the fog. What secret well-wisher sent this messanger pigeon?
-
Complex Cipher
Mr. Black
Soon we'll find out who is behind these threats. The contents of the backpack will lead us to its owners! To pick the combination lock on the backpack, I'll use Jefferson's Disks. Now, where are they? Help me find them.
Thank for the help, I've got it now! So, Jefferson's Disks rotate on the axis... The logic's clear to me. Now I'll twist here... I've obtained the combination! Let's check.
-
Iron Ink
Mr. Black
Have you noticed that some of the symbols in the message are rough? I guess they're written in ink containing iron chips. Let's try to find the ones we need using a Search Magnet. I had one somewhere around here. Let's look for it now.
Thank you, this magnet you found helped me reveal the iron symbols. Now we need to determine their correct sequence and enter them into the combination lock on the backpack.
-
A Tip from the Post Office
Mr. Black
Instead of focusing on the case you suggest using the pneumatic mail to hopefully get an answer in a special capsule? Hmm, maybe this is a reasonable idea. The ones we are looking for may be on the other side. Let7s find a capsule.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself! We were sent a capsule with a clue. It's a sheet with strange symbols on it. Is it the combination to the fugitive's backpack?
-
Dangerous Mineral
Mr. Black
I received a letter, where its authors dared to advise me not to pry into other people's affairs! Whoa re these ignorant people? Maybe Scavengers hanging around t he Rift? Let's exmine the evidence - the Mineral Fragment - using a geological magnifying glass. Pass it to me.
Yes, this is ecactly the Geological Magnifier we need! Let's take a look... So, I see a cut on the dark rock... It was mined in the fog zone! This mineral is still dangerous.
-
The First Clue
Mr. Black
I remember that during the chase one of the characters dropped something. It looks similar to a piece of mineral. This clue will lead us to whoever is threatening me. Let's find that Mineral Fragment.
Among all the dusty stones on the edge of the fog, you found the exact Mineral Fragment we need! It has a strange glow - perhaps it's not safe!
-
Unexpected Discovery
Carlos Light
I wanted to catch up with whoever was walking in the fog, because it could only be a Scavenger. But the fireflies flew away, and the fog thickened... How could I return? And why has someone put a combination lock on my haversack? I don't remember the combination, of course. Bring me some tools, and let's see what's in the haversack.
We've unlocked my haversack. There's my lamplighter's set... and my jar of fireflies! But it's tied with a silk scarf, which in definitely not mine. I now remember going back through the fog. I was led by a woman. A perfume aroma emanated from her, as well as this scarf.
-
Soft Landing
Carlos Light
Here we go, the pigeon's house has been installed in the attic. Now the carrier bird can fly here by itself. What is it waiting for? Oh right, we must open the attic window! Look, it immediately flew in! Catch the pigeon, but do it carefully.
Thank you for helping me save the brave pigeon. It's brought us something from the fog: a capsule tied to its neck. Mr. Black will definitely be interested.
-
New Clue
Carlos Light
I remember being pleased: I caught a lot of fireflies in the jar containing the bait. I wanted to close it so they wouldn't fly away... And that's where my memory lapses again. You're a search genius: please find another clue.
This lid is similar to the one I closed the jar of firefiles with. Wait... I didn't close it! I suddenly heard someone's footsteps, I dropped the lid in surprise, and it rolled away.
-
Bright Thought
Carlos Light
What was attracted by my bait? Midges, butterflies... The fog causes little harm to insects. It seems that yesterday I thought about it, and a bright idea flashed in my mind... Oh, it just flashed again! It's not an idea, but an insect. Catch it!
This is a special Sparkling Firefly. See how bright it shines? The light is even stronger in the dark. And when there are a lot of them... So yesterday it seems I left everything and went to catch fireflies!
-
Strange Feeling
Carlos Light
So, yesterday I was studying a weak crystal... Why do I have a memory lapse as if I've been out in the fog? something unusual happened, I can feel it. We must find something that doesn't fit the situation.
You're right, this saucer with butterflies doesn't relate to my scientific work. Although... I remember that I made bait for insects so they wouldn't distract me from my research.
-
Prospective Sample
Carlos Light
Judging from the device data, I measured the radiation parameters of a certain mineral. Yes, sometimes I go to the edge of the Rift to collect new samples. The one I studied yesterday should be nearby, look for it.
It's a crystal, and it even emits a certain glow. But I recall being disappointed: it7s light is weak. The fog cannot be dispersed with such a crystal.
-
Scientific Data
Carlos Light
You see, I don't only clean the lamps, I also do some research. I'm trying to find out how to replace the crystals. Their stock is stolen, and the remaining crystals in the lamps are gradually dying out. In the observation diary, I wrote that yesterday I investigated some kind of radiation. Let's look for the device I used.
You're a genius! I used the Polariscope to study the properties of a certain light source. I'll check the testimonies now, they might be imortant.
-
Another Mystery
Carlos Light
Thanks to you, the memory of the Fellowship's history has returned to me, and with it the chance to get the statute. Let's try to open the box. I'm sure we'll be able to open it this time. Bring me some tools...
It worked! As sson as I touched the box, it flew open ,as if it had been waiting for me. There's the statute inside, which means we'll soon learn something new about the fog... What? Everything is written in some kind of chipher! It'll take time to understand what it says...
-
Great Society
Rayden Storke
Who would've thought that the Fellowship's story is also the story of Carlos! Thus, we're one step closer to obtaining the statute. Carlos said he decided to make the Fellowship great, and he needed a coat of arms for this. Let's look for it!
These are the first sketches of the Fellowship's Coat of Arms. Carlos drew them himself to attract people. He clearly succeeded... But then the fog overwhelmed us again.
-
Sad News
Carlos Light
My memory is becoming clearer. Soon we will know the whole Fellowship's history and get the statute! The records of the Master Lamplighter's assistant mention dim lamps... What does that mean? Let's look for such a lamp: maybe it will give us a clue.
As soon as I touched the lamp, my memory started to return... Every lamp in the City dimmed because the Master Lamplighter was gone and there was no one to take care of them.
-
Hero's Assistant
Rayden Storke
At this rate we'll soon retrieve the statute of the Fellowship! So, we've learned that the Master Lamplighter saved the boy who later became his assistant. Let's look for items belonging to the boy. Maybe they'll give us more information?
This bag is full of tools, but all of them are small, as if made for a child's hand. It seems that the rescued boy desperately wanted to help the Master Lamplighter. There are records...
-
Hero of the City
Rayden Storke
Items from the Fellowship's past bring us closer to the statute. In the Collector's records, there's information about the Master Lamplighter. He saved many lives by patrolling the verge of the fog. I'm sure the City's authorities awarded him something. Let's check.
On the Honorary Citizen's Medal it says that it was issued for rescuing a boy from the fog... It's a pity the name wore off. I remember this story; the boy then became the Lamplighter's assistant.
-
Records of a Genius
Rayden Storke
To open the box containing the Fellowship's statute, we'll need to find items from the organization's past. After the Collector's departure, the maintenance of all the lamps fell to the Fellowship. Many lamplighters learned this thanks to the notes of this famous explorer of the City. Let's inspect the stash with these records, maybe they'll tell us something.
A hidden stash in the book, that's very resourceful! Look, there's information about the Master Lamplighter. Let's read it...
-
Riddle within a Riddle
Rayden Storke
Thanks to you, all the important items from the Fellowship's history are in our hands. I managed to copy the symbols from each of them to find out how they combine into an encoded word. As soon as we decipher it, we'll be able to find the statute! But we need tools for this.
Great! I managed to decipher the word. It means "ventilation." Let's see what's hidden in the Post Office's ventilation pipes... Surely we'll find the statute there!
-
Useful Invention
Carlos Light
We will soon find the statute of the Fellowship. When the first lamps were developed, the question of maintenance arose. The Master Lamplighter did all of this: he repaired the glass, recharged the crystals... We have his Portable Measuring Device somewhere.
With a Portable Measuring Device you can find out how much light is left in the crystal and how long it'll last without recharging. All lamplighters have one.
-
Magical Fastener
Detective
Did you notice that the crystal orb sits freely on the stand? I checked some old notes, and it turns out that the crystal orb is attached to the stand using a Seal of Silence. Can you find it?
The seal is the last part of the scrying orb that was stolen from Martha. Let's hurry and take it all to Martha; without her, we won't be able to assemble the orb.
-
Historical Treasures
Rayden Storke
The Fellowship of Lamplighters' statute is hidden, but there are marks on items from the Fellowship's history that'll lead us to it. What could be ore important to their history than the first every lamp's prototype? Let's take a look at it.
Just as I thought, the prototype of the first lamp also has a mark. We're very close to finding the Fellowship's statute!
-
Unexpected Help
Carlos Light
We will find the statute of the Fellowship, I'm sure of it. when the Collector realized that crystals alone were not enough to fight the fog, the Master Lamplighter came to his aid and helped him create some special glass. Find this glass and I'll explain.
This is the Experimental Glass for the first lamps. The Master Lamplighter designed them with the Collector to enhance the light of the crystals.
-
Cozy Nest
Rayden Storke
Wait, I remember! The Lamplighter's Workshop has an attic! I once went up there and saw a birdhouse. It disappeared after that. You'll find the Dovecote though, you're the chosen one after all. Hurry up!
Yes, this is the Dovecote I saw in the Lamplighter's Workshop's attic. Let's quickly put it in place so the pigeon can return to its nest.
-
Weak Crystals
Carlos Light
Thank you for helping me look for the Fellowship's statute. At the beginning of the war with the fog, the Collector obtained the first crystals somehow. There were no lamps back then, so the Collector used crystals in a frame. I saw one somewhere... It's made to look like a pendant.
These first crystals emitted very little light and didn't help much against the fog. Take a look... There's something scratched on the rim. That's clearly a symbol that'll help us find the statute!
-
The First Crystal
Rayden Storke
Carlos is looking for the Fellowship of Lamplighters' statute. We should help him because the statute contains important information about the fog. Lamplighters always leave marks and signs - I used to do so myself. I'm sure that if we find the things that are important to the Fellowship, we'll be able to find the statute. Carlos mentioned a Crystal Sample, let's look for it.
This Crystal Sample is very old, and its light can no longer disperse the fog. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the first crystals found by the Collector.
-
Memories of Hope
Kira Woodville
We've collected the items related to Carlos's family. We can now combine them with the magic of the City and the Transfiguration Box! This way we'll create something that will help Carlosretain his memories forever. The box seems discharged. Let's put artifacts into it to imbue it with power.
A mysterious light emanates from under the box's lid. Having absorbed artifacts, it opens slightly. There's something inside! This object was definitely not there before! We've succeeded! Here's the item that will never let Carlos forget his family again. This is a postcard from his children!
-
Information
Kira Woodville
It's believed that some of the department's pneumatic pipes are special. If you send a gift through them, you can get information or even rare artifacts in response. If you're lucky, you will receive news from your friend Jacob by sending items in a capsule that are related to him. Let's try do you have his photo?
You've found his ID Card? If Jacob was assigned this card, it means that he really has been in the City before.
-
The Place
Carlos Light
I've spent many years trying to create an alternative to the Collector's anti-fog lamps, and I've made some progress. If you lend me some tools and give me a hand, I'll put together a unique light generator for you. Deal?
Please, don't rush! Precision is what counts here. It was my daughter who designed the Mechanical Projector, and I got the idea for it from the Fellowship's statute. While the anti-fog lamps need crystals to work, this device uses luminescent insects. Here you go, this artifact is yours!
-
Shelter for the Soul
Mr. Black
The star on the Cabaret's signboard has already been lit, which means that the concert will begin soon. But why are the visitors leaving and the guards not letting anyone in? Follow me - the Security Service badge opens any door!
I don't quite understand, how come there's no music coming from the hall? Where is the promised premiere? Fine, we haven't come here to have fun anyway, but to collect information about Miss and her accomplices.
-
Memories of Care
Kira Woodville
We'll be able to help Carlos return the memories of his family. The Security Service had specific rules to follow in case the fog ever surrounded your house. Surely Carlos taught the children these rules. Look for some kind of instruction manual.
Carlos folded the instructions into a paper house so that little Lucas learned the safety rules while playing with him. Smart! Carlos is a good father.
-
The Place
Kira Woodville
We have all the items mentioned in the recording. Let's put them together, add an offering in the form of artifacts and ask the City to help. I'm sure we'll soon find out where the criminals went. All we need are artifacts. Could you bring a couple?
Look, the artifacts are starting to glow! The beam points to pile of papers. They are all blank except for one. This is a Cabaret Poster!
-
Memories of Kindness
Carlos Light
I can't let myself forget my children! Lucas and Vera wanted to stay in our house when I moved here for work. But they gave me a key with their address so that I could visit them. Help me find this key.
My lovely children attached their address to the keychain. They knew I might forget it because of the fog's proximity. I visited them every day and spent my nights in the Workshop.
-
Place with Beautiful Songs
Carlos Light
We will soon understand where the criminals went. On the last piece of the recording, they were talking about a singer. Remember someone saying: "Sings like a siren. Maybe it's the microphone?" I think we should look for a microphone.
I wanted to make a walkie-talkie out of this Microphone so that the lamplighters would have the means to communicate. But there's too much background noise in the fog. It's all right, I'll think of something else.
-
Warm Mark
Fabien Delamode
If we're collecting items that Anna's hands often touched, then let's add an iron. She's a very nest girl, and her outfits have always been well sewn and ironed to perfection. A charcoal iron should be somwhere nearby.
Yes, this is exactly the iron Anna used... while she still had her soul with her. I hope we can fix my involuntary slip-up and that Angelique's sacrifice won't be in vain.
-
Ghostly filler
Detective
The crystal orb is completely useless if we don't fill it with ghostly essence. That's the next thing we need to find.
Perfect. This essence will create the fantastic images inside the orb that Martha needs to tell the future.
-
Bright Wishes
Empress
I invite everyone to join the New Year's celebration and fill it with the energy of bright wishes - hoping for the heavenly spheres' favor. Together, let us ask the higher powers to send us a confirmation that our requests have been heard. Look, artifacts are materializing around us! Make haste, collect them!
The City heard us, I feel the divine patrons' invisible presence, and... something has appeared in the Moon Gate, although it should be closed! Oh, it's the sign of the higher powers: they've given us the symbol of the new year. The wishes are ready to come true!
-
Clear Imprint
Angelique
Thank you, Fabien. We need to use everything we can to increase the chances of saving Anna. Let's collect the items she often used that have the imprint of her energy on them. For example, a set of sewing tools. Look around, where can it be?
You found the craftswoman's box - a set of sewing tools that Anna used daily. When she retrieves her stolen soul, she'll be able to do what she loves again.
-
Medal for Speed
Carlos Light
No extreme measures please! The pigeon will return to its nest just as they are trained to do. We just need to remember where the dovecote used to be... I think I recently came across a coin with a pigeon on it. Help me find it.
So it's not a coin but a medal. My memory lets me down all the time... It reads here something about pigeon racing. That means the winged carriers were raised nearby.
-
Chances of Success
Fabien Delamode
Ooh la la, Angelique, my love, I never dissuaded you from this suicide! Oh well, I will help you save Anna and redeem myself by suffering. I saw what the Puppeteer did to increase the chances of success. We need Anna's sewing machine.
Anna used to spend all day at this sewing machine, so it's probably absorbed some of her energy. The Puppeteer used such charged items to make his equipment work better. I hope we can do it too.
-
Commercial Amulet
Cardsharp
My dearest friend, I know exactly what you need to find. Look for the Pixiu, the Lion Dragon. I'm sure it's enough to complete the collection. This is a very advantageous animal. Something will come to poor Cardsharp...
Excellent, you found the Pixiu! They say the Lion Dragon has a great sense for gold and silver, and attracts wealth to itself and wards off misfortune. The Pixiu is also the keeper of merchants. After all the rituals, I'll be allowed to keep the Pixiu, right? I really need a guardian...
-
Some paper! Quick!
Cardsharp
I have a very useful habit: I write descriptions of all my successful inventions. I've filled so many notebooks I could probably found my own library. Unfortunately, we're short on paper in the City. To get a notepad, for example, you need to bend over backwards, since they're guarded by hordes of evil spirits. But I heard you've got nothing to fear from them. Maybe you could grab a couple of notepads next time you run into them?
Thank you. You've helped me out yet again. Before I die, I'll definitely make sure you get my invention library in my will. You're the best candidate for my successor.
-
Place with Coffee
Rayden Storke
We'll be able to find out where the criminals went if we analyze the tape recording. It mentions the place where coffee is served. Pretty vague... Well, let's try to find a Coffee Maker.
Carlos's old Coffee Maker! Oh, now I really want coffee... just like the man in the recording. But it's not the time to relax, we need to finish the investigation first.
-
Place Without Weapons
Mr. Black
We need to find out where the criminals went. The criminals mentioned that weapons are prohibited in this place. Yet I presume they want to slip inside with homemade knives disguised as mechanisms. I know these kind of knives. Search for them in the post office amongst the confiscated items.
If you fold such a knife, it looks like a magnifying glass used by scavengers. But these tricks won't work on me.
-
Touching Memories
Carlos Light
To return the memories of my family, help me find the items related to them. My daughter Vera is also a mechanic, she made me a special Signaling Watch. But where is it?
I can't believe I almost lost this watch! Vera attached a signaling light to it so that I could be seen in the fog while patrolling. She is a real jack-of-all-trades!
-
Place for the Elite
Kira Woodville
We won't solve the case of the crystals' theft unless we know where the criminals went. In the recording, there was a phrase about the elite dropping into the place. Well, in that case, let's find something expensive.
These cufflinks are not only expensive, they also have the Security Service's coat of arms on them. That is they're particularly popular with the elite. A good find!
-
Happy Memories
Rayden Storke
Carlos and I are good friends, so I want to help him get the memories of his family back. I remember that he has two children. He constantly pampered his son and gave the boy a lot of toys. We should look for one of them.
Yes, yes, I remember this airplane very well! I helped Carlos make it myself. What happened to the boy, why did he leave his favorite toy?
-
Sad Memories
Carlos Light
Kira is a very kind girl, even though she seems, um... What's the word... "Strict"! She agreed to help me recover my memory. But this will also require your help in finding things related to my most important memories: memories of my family. Help me find my Double Ring, the foundation of family life.
Two rings from thie one: the first is mine, and the second belonged to my late wife. I'd like to always remember her. Lora was a wonderful woman...
-
Scavengers' Gathering Place
Carlos Light
To find out where the criminals went, we need to collect everything they mentioned in the recording. On the tape, they were talking about the "gathering place for scavengers." Scavengers are a special group in the City who go through the fog. They're known for their inventions. By the way, I had a stalker monocle somewhere...
I studied this monocle once. I thought about using its lens for anti-fog lights, but nothing came of it. Now we'll put the monocle to good use.
-
Burglars
Kira Woodville
We're on the verge of solving the mystery of the theft! Unfortunately, some of the numbers on the items you found were wiped off so badly that we couldn't make them out. Let's try to restore them with the help of the City's power. The energy of artifacts will help to return the inscriptions to their original look.
The light of the artifacts made the half-erased numbers visible. I'll try to enter the various combinations of them to crack the code. It worked! The safe is open.
-
Marked by a Sign
Kira Woodville
We'll soon find out what happened on the night of the theft. We need to find something with the same sign as the one on Carlos Light's hand, then find out why he changed his route on the day the crystals were stolen. Look, the same sign is depicted on that wall. Maybe there's something there? Let's take a look.
What a compact safe! On its bottom, the same lamp symbol is displayed. This is clearly the thing that we need. But how will we find the code for the lock? Hmm, why is there a half-erased number here? What does it mean?
-
Drawing Experiments
Mr. Black
The case of the theft has become more complicated. Carlos Light couldn't have committed the theft while he was unconscious. But changing his route is suspicious, so he could be an inside man. Let's copy the sign from his hand while it's still there and look for something with the same marking.
The sign is almost erased, but I can just make it out. It looks like a lamp. Hmm, who would've doubted. A lamplighter, a lamp... I hope this isn't just a pretty picture.
-
Information Integrity
Mr. Black
It's common practice among lamplighters to make marks and signs for themselves. But his memory won't recover simply by looking at the symbol. We need to find something else marked with it. There will be information about why Carlos Light changed his route near it. Let's draw the sign first. Surely there's paper in the post office...
Carlos Light! Give me your hand. Keep it straight so that we can see the sign clearly.
-
Crucial Recording
Mr. Black
I want to figure out what happened on the night of the theft and who is to blame. But an empty tape recorder only confirms Carlos Light's guilt. Why did he hide the tape? The box is full of reels. It'll take time to find the right one. Your help wouldn't hurt.
The date on this reel coincides with the date the lamp crystals were stolen. So this is the one! We need to listen to the recording and write down everything we hear.
-
Tricky Lock
Rayden Storke
We're getting closer to finding out what happened on the night of the theft. I know how to open the box of tape recorder reels: I helped Carlos make it. As I recall, a copy of the key was made for the Security Service. If we're lucky, it may still be in the post office.
Yes, that's the key! Since the box of lamplighters' records contains crucial information, the lock was designed to be tricky. We're very lucky to find the key.
-
Important Load
Mr. Black
A small bird is really circling agove the square. But it's too soon to relax! I can see through the telescope that it's a pigeon - a messenger pigeon, and it's carrying something. Look for a Bird Feeder, we need to lure and catch it.
You've done a great job, you even found some bird food. But it seems the pigeon doesn't want to descend. I hope we won't have to resort to extreme measures...
-
Winged Guest
Mr. Black
Another flying object in the sky over the City? Yes, it may be just a bird, but let's not make any hasty conclusions. I'll ask the citizens not to go outside just in case. Meanwhile, find my cane, there's a spyglass on the handle. We need to take a close look at the object.
Thank you, this cane means a lot to me. It's very practical too. You look presentable with it, and can use it for self-defense. And now it'll help us to see what exactly is flying over the square.
-
Unexpected Find
Mr. Black
The crystals have been stolen, and the suspect remembers nothing. He did record his entire shift with a tape recorder though. This is our chance to find out what happened. Let's look around: maybe there's a box of reels somewhere. Surely the one we need will be among them.
The City is on your side after all. I wouldn't have found this tiny box of reels alone. But it's locked, and I don't see a key nearby...
-
Vindication Opportunity
Carlos Light
I knew where the crystals where. And I actually patrolled near the post office on the night of the theft. But what happened? My body is full of bruises, and my head is in a mist... I remember! On patrols, I always take my Tape Recorder. Find it, the records will shed light on this case.
I remember this recorder... I'm sure I turned it on that night to record everything. But where is the tape? There's only empty reels here... Has this all been for nothing?
-
Opportunity to Steal
Mr. Black
I'm pretty sure Carlos Light is guilty of stealing the lamp crystals. But to make sure of this, we need to find out if he had the opportunity to steal them. He knew where the crystals were, but I didn't tell him the combination to the safe. Did Carlos find it out? Look for the Access List, and we'll see...
This is a list of people who have requested the combination to the safe from the Security Service. Look, Carlos Light is among them! This proves he had the opportunity to commit the theft.
-
Motive
Kira Woodville
We need to find out what happened on the night the anti-fog crystals were stolen. I sCarlos Light really involved in this? Even if he has lost his memory, we can find out a lot by examining his belongings. Perhaps some of them will awaken his memories. Let's start with the motive. Look for something to determine it.
The vintage projector still contains the slides of Carlos's children. Mr. Black said they are now in a house covered by the fog. That's the motive: to save his children by stealing the lamp crystals!
-
Good Memory
Detective
I haven't seen the scrying orb myself, but I remember from Martha's stories that its crystal orb was attached to a skull-shaped stand. If you happen to find something like that, bring it to me.
Let's hope that this is the right stand. Of course, I can't be certain - I've never seen it before, after all.
-
Assembling the Lamp
Rayden Storke
So, we have all the lamp's parts. Together with the crystal brought from the Dock, this should be enough. I'll assemble the lamp for you. I need tools, tough - I can't do it with my bare hands. Will you find them?
So, we'll twist it here... Make this one a little bit tighter... And oil here so that the lamp doesn't creak. We put the crystal... And the glass, of course. It's done! Take the lamp, it's yours.

Lamp's Heart
Kira Woodville
It's not easy assembling these lamps; the main problem is the crystals inside. We don't know where to find them, and a lamp without a crystal is useless against the fog. Fortunately, we have the crystal that you found at the Dock. All we need now is a stand to place it on.
This stand allows the crystal inside the lamp to rotate so that the light can disperse evenly in all directions. Your lamp turned out fine, even for the Fellowship of Lamplighters!

Conveniest Supplement
Rayden Storke
After the Collector's departure, the secret of creating anti-fog lamps was lost. Still, Mr. Light managed to upgrade their design. He supplemented the lamps with hangers and covers to protect the hands from crystals' emanations. Look for a Lamp Cover, it'll come in handy.
I will fasten this cover to the lamp's frame so that you can comfortably hold it with one hand. The lamp will still be very light.

Glassblowing Mastery
Mr. Black
The fog is our most dangerous enemy. That's why the lamps created by the Collector are so important. But the secret of his lamps was lost when he disappeared. We took great pains to reproduce his lamp glass design. Ordinary glass just doesn't work - we need something special.
This Special Glass allows the light from the crystal to disperse efficiently. It was sent to me from the Security Service building before it was covered by the fog.

Solid Base
Kira Woodville
During the flight, Rayden explained the anti-fog lamps' design to me. So I'll help you. The frame is the foundation of any lamp. Look for one in the Lamplighter Workshop. We're lucky it wasn't covered by the fog. It's already taken away most of the City from us.
A strong frame will ensure the crystal inside the lamp is protected from mechanical damage. It's great that we managed to find a fairly reliable design.
-
Complex Device
Mr. Black
As soon as we assemble the lamp, we can continue the investigation. We can't proceed without it. Assembling a lamp is not easy: it has a complex structure. We'll need a drawing of one.
You managed to find the drawing of the lamp's frame. Hold it tight so you don't lose it. Without it, even an experienced lamplighter couldn't assemble the lamp correctly.

Party Till Dawn
Valerie
I think we've taken care of everything and gathered all the things we need for a rock party - a suit, a dress and a wig, as well as a guitar for a gift. What else do we need? An invitation to the party, of course! I think Alex will be impressed.
Here are the invitation tickets. The rock party is about to begin. Let's warm up the amps and tune the instruments. You're invited too, don't forget to come!

A Pile of Feathers
Juliette
Detective told me that you're looking for an original hat. Look for a hat with feathers or flowers. Perhaps this magnificent decoration is what surprised Detective.
I'm sure that hat I found belongs to a lady of high society. Unfortunately, the Detective said that the style isn't the same as the one that belongs to the mysterious stranger from the Hotel.
-
Deceitful Softness
Juliette
I don't see the Mistress's Embroidered Pillow anywhere! Oh god! Maybe they suffocated her with it and then took it so as not to leave any evidence! Find the pillow, please; my heart is heavy thinking it's gone.
You found the Embroidered Pillow, but it's torn to pieces! What's with this insane beast?
-
Striking Sight
Valerie
If Alex takes the guitar, I must also dress appropriately. I have a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, but a striking Glowing Wig needs to be found.
If I wear a wig I'll look like a cheerleader. I'll add a drop of perfume so I'll definitely blow him away!

Spiritual Purity
Detective
To become friends with the fiery phoenix, we need the help of the Qilin, the one-horned dragon. Not everyone can see this Son of the Dragon, but the City obviously favours you. Find the Qilin. I think you'll succeed.
That's the Qilin! It's not every day you see such a rare beast... By its appearance you wouldn't think this animal is a vegetarian! Imagine, the Qilin doesn't eat living things and only eats lovely grass. It's also able to walk on water, and when treading on the grass it doesn't even flatten it. Such a gentle lamb...

Bearer of Wisdom
Conductor
Hey, pal, I know something about Chinese tradition and the Sons of the Dragon. At one time, I even wanted to put up a commemorative stone slab at the station with a Turtle Dragon called the Bixi. This wise ally will surely help us find a common language with the phoenix. Find the Bixi and we're sure to learn something important.
Here it is - the Turtle Dragon, Bixi! It's the embodiment of wisdom and longevity. Look, it bears a stone slab with the words: "The strong overcome obstacles, but only the wise go all the way." I can't argue. It's very important, as there's no path without smarts.

Forgotten Crime
Detective
So, here's some more detail about the case I spoke of. Many years ago, Martha lost her scrying orb, part of which is the claw you found. So to close this case, we need to find the remaining parts. For example, its huge crystal orb.
What a massive orb. If you manage to find all the missing pieces, Martha will be very grateful.
-
Manticore Claw
Detective
By the way, the book says that abracadabra finds various long lost things. Did you happen to come across something like that? A manticore claw? So why didn't you just take it? Now we have to run around the whole City to find it.
Yes, Martha has been looking for this claw for a while. I even have a case against the boggarts regarding a theft. They have nothing to do with it, apparently.

Things Time Can't Change
Empress
Today, our deepest desires came true. I feel that the divine patrons favor us, as well as this place itself. I could not talk to you, Yui, so I would write one-way letters every day. Time did not spare them, but higher powers will be able to restore my messages. We need some strong artifacts.
Magic has recovered my album with its ivory pages from out of nowhere. The long-erased messages appear on them. Yui, you can read everything that I did not tell you and know for sure that you have, and always will have a loving family.

Irish Coffee
Martha
You don't look so hot... You need a pick-me-up - a good cup of coffee with a splash of cognac. But making such a drink is not easy. To get coffee, you have to defeat a gargoyle. Cognac, on the other hand, can be found in the Cafe.
Let's have coffee, then I'll tell your fortune by reading the grounds. I don't normally tell the future like that, but with the way things are I want to leave no stone untuned, So, hold the cup in your left hand and turn clockwise three times. Let's see... a dagger. That means your enemies conspire against you. The coffee was delicious, but we failed to learn anything new.

Jumble of Thoughts
Detective
Did you hear? A new phenomenon appeared in City Hall - Abracadabra. This is what locals call mirages the jumble thoughts and make people forget even the simplest words. As with every other anomaly in the City, Abracadabra doesn't appear at a location for nothing. Some rare, powerful objects must have appeared here. Find the artifact that has invoked the Abracadabra mode.
You say you have read this mysterious book after using the Deciphering Cube! Funny, the book actually describes the Abracadabra anomaly. It's rather harmless, though it mixes up letters and thoughts. That's certainly not nice, but luckily you can always use the Deciphering Cube to neutralise Abracadabra's powers.

Care for a Cup of Joe?
Detective
I can hardly remember the last time I slept at night. For whatever reason, I always think more clearly after midnight. Today, as luck would have it, I've run out of my favorite Brazilian coffee. Whenever you try to find some good coffee in the City, you always run into gargoyles. The first time I barely escaped in one piece... If you manage to make it past them, do you think you could bring me a bag of coffee?
Coffee - my favorite Brazilian blend! It's a gift fit for a king! Thank you, now I'll be able to sit up until dawn without batting an eye.
-
Piece of Care
Empress
During the holidays, I felt especially sad, because our family could not celebrate together. But I used to leave some holiday treats for Yui, mentally sending her wishes for happiness and health. Can you see a mooncake over there? Bring it.
I used to always divide the mooncake into four parts, because there were four of us in the family... even if there were only three in the place. In my mind, Yui was always with us.

The Way Back
Angelique
I spent a lot of time in the fog and found everything I needed to save Anna. But her life energy is leaving her, and we need to fuyyr. I have assembled the energy circuit according to the Puppeteer's notes. Harp Fabien activate it like he did last time.
Thanks to this energy circuit, Fabien will start to reverse the process of mannequin animation, and Anna's soul will return to her from my heart crystal. Now I will double-check everything again, and we will be ready to begin.

Opening the Doors
Cardsharp
We're one step away from entering the Angela's Park location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City of Shadows are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The Angela's Park location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City of Shadows is calling out to us. The new location is ready for guests. come on, let's enter!

Cowardly Gargoyle
Huntress
There's a new monster in the City - s Scaly Gargoyle. Scaly Gargoyles are more cowardly and meaner than their brethren. They rarely let their enemies get close to them. A sling is the best weapon for striking them from afar.
A Scaly Gargoyle is a dangerous monster. It's good that you can deal with her with a sling, so as not to get too close. by the way, these monsters are crazy about the smell of coffee and often take coffee beans with them.
-
A Crucial Find
Angelique
The fog moves the buildings around, so it was difficult to find the workshop, but tonight I managed to do it. Anna will be saved. I was in a hurry to get back here, so I was seen by the lamplighters. The equipment is here, you can see for yourself. But we need some tools to assemble it.
The energy circuit is slightly damaged by time and fog but is still suitable for the process of transferring vital energy. In the workshop, I also found the experiment description made by the Puppeteer himself. Here are the Pages from his workbook, take a look.
-
Yet Another Paradox
Detective
The leaves on the trees are turning into buds, and the pavement in the City square is crumbling into sand. Are these time anomalies somehow related to the secret laboratory in the Black Castle? Rumours say that this place holds a secret that is dangerous to City residents... There's certainly something to ponder here. Look in the investigation book, my friend: it wouldn't hurt to briefly summarise all the information we have so far.
-
Wind of the Past
Angelique
I know how to finally convince you that I have been in the fog, Mr. Black. The house with red windows was locked, but the others were open. There I found abandoned belongings. Look at that fan over there, it should interest you.
This old fan stood opposite the door. It was probably used to drive away the advancing fog. Turn the fan over - there are initials on its base. They are familiar to you, are they not?
-
Under Divine Protection
Empress
Mei wore clothes with the symbol of the Azure Dragon, and for Yui I secretly sewed a hat in the shape of a tiger's head and asked my divine patron, the White Tiger, to invisibly protect her since I couldn't do it myself. Find the hat, it will confirm my words.
Nobody every wore this hat, yet its mere existence proves that, although I was not there for her, I always tried to take care of my second daughter.
-
Defense From an Attack
Martha
We're almost done. While I attach Mary's hair to the doll, find something to wrap around it. After all, who knows what might happen if you atouch it with your bare hands.
-
Bloody Hunt
Martha
I knew the horseshow would help you learn where to find Mary's blood. Hurry and bring it here. The poor ghost is suffering terribly.
Just one drop of blood? I hope this will be enough.
-
Pleasant Surprise
Valerie
What do you think, maybe we should make a fun surprise for Alex at the party? He remembers almost nothing and that's why he's in a bad mood. Maybe we should give him a guitar?
Wow! This is a guitar for a professional musician. I'm always amazed at your ability to find whatever is needed!
-
Mysterious Mask
Valerie
There's something missing to make a real impact at the party. Some sort of personal touch... Maybe we should have masks? I will look like a very mysterious lady. That should interest Alex.
I can't find the words to thank you! I'm really looking forward to the party. This mask makes me look so mysterious...
-
Mysterious Clue
Detective
I am so glad you decided to solve the Collector's mystery. I confess, my investigation has run into a brick wall. My search led me to a rare piece of evidence, but its trace vanishes in the present. Find it in the past.
... what is it? A piece of paper! On the other side of the note you can see symbols that resemble a code.
