Weapons of the Mountain Warrior
Herbert Danu
To stop the pavilion from operating, the center needs to be emptied. But the damaged mechanism is blocking the way. Find an obsidian axe and use it to cut through the overgrown crystal.
You found the axe! When the crystals started growing on the pavilion's machinery, we learned that you had to use obsidian to cut them. Now let's head to the center!
-
The Price of Fairy Tales
Herbert Danu
My research and studies caught the interest of the group, but they didn't keep me out of trouble. I was fascinated by science and spent money frivolously. The results were disastrous. Look at the pile of letters on my desk.
The letter was from an accountant my family had hired. He worked hard to keep me from going bankrupt. The group's help saved me from collections, but my confidence was shattered.
-
Keeper of the Secret
Herbert Danu
The idea of building a pavilion came to me after I left college. When my research was at a standstill, I got a call from the Crow Group. Here's the badge.
Do you recognize the key painted on the badge of the Crow Gang? It symbolizes solving the mysteries of the world. The Crow Gang offered me a job as an expert on fairies. How could I refuse such an opportunity?
-
The Structure of Intelligence
Kira Woodville
The study of fairies became Danoux's life's work. He must have had a hard time in college. At the stand, I saw something related to this. It is the nib of an old ink pen. Can you help me find it?
The nib of that old ink pen was worn out, and this card says: "This is my lucky ink pen. This is my lucky ink pen. I've written so many papers that the metal of this pen is worn out. Let's give this to him!
-
magic trick
Herbert Danu
All through my childhood, I dreamed about fairies and wanted to study them. When I was in college, I even presented my research on fairy projects. Take my first book, which is on that stand.
It's my diary and miniature fairies. At first, people said I was crazy, but my scientific approach was accepted by the professors. And so my fairy research began.
-
The Beginning of Everything
Herbert Danu
The Pavilion of Providence is where my dreams come true. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to go to fairyland. My parents supported that dream and gave me a direction magnet pendant. It should be on my desk. Can you find it for me?
This directional pendant is a family heirloom, and the sculpture of Morgan le Fay's castle was carved for me. As a kid I loved the legend of the fairies and it became my very life.
-
blindfolded flying
Herbert Danu
You may not be fairies... but the test is still out there! Now try this. Here is a bag full of papers. In it, take out the pendant without looking inside!
You found an old clover-studded pendant. If you were able to remove it without seeing it, you couldn't have fooled me with an illusion or protected yourself with a clover banishing spell. Are you sure you guys...?
-
Human crown
Kira Woodville
Why is Danou so convinced that we are fairies? Now he asked me to put on this crown with a bell. I put it on first.
All of us put on these crowns with bells on them, but nothing happens. Danou seemed to get confused. Danou seemed confused, because he expected us to be afraid of the sound of the bell, as fairies should be afraid of it...
-
A Taste of Truth
Herbert Danu
I know a lot about fairies. The truth will eventually come out. You must be hungry after all that chasing. Here, let me give you this salted bread. It's good!
Feeling nothing again? But this salted bread should make any fairy reveal her true colors... oh well. You've passed the test. And have some iced tea to refresh your palate.
-
Deep red sweetness
Rayden Storke
What on earth does this mean? Is Herbert seriously trying to see if we are fairies or not? Now he hands me a berry branch and asks me to pick berries. Can you help me? If you do, it won't take long.
Okay, so this was a branch of a nanakamado tree. Now I know what Danu thinks. The fruit of the Nanakamado tree makes fairies dizzy. We touched the berries with our bare hands and felt nothing. In other words, we passed the test!
-
cold, burning sensation
Herbert Danu
If you can prove that you are not fairies, we will let you go and surrender. It's an unusual approach, but I guarantee your safety... if you're human. First, touch this cold iron gag.
Touching a shoe crocodile and not feeling anything? That's strange. According to legend, iron should burn fairies. Oh, well. You've passed the first test. But there are more trials to come!
-
Giant Beast at Rest
Rayden Storke
At the end of the tunnel, a huge mechanical dragon awaits us! It seems to be guarding the door. On the floor, there are grooves dug in the shape of a lyre. Look for something similar! Perhaps it will soothe the dragon!
So the answer to Danu's riddle was to find an automatic lyre! The dragon has fallen asleep! As legend has it, you have succeeded in appeasing the giant beast. Now, let's continue our pursuit of Danou!
-
Collecting stardust
Kira Woodville
Obviously, Danoux planned to escape. There are numerous tunnels under the pavilion. Now, you are at a crossroads. There is a way to know the right direction. Could you please collect some, some pollen grains?
Thank you for the pollen grain collection! Let's scatter the pollen and see which way the wind blows it. Looks like the exit is this way. Let's hurry. Danu must not have gone very far yet!
-
Winding footprints
Rayden Storke
On the other side of the door, you see an underground passageway covered with thorns. Danu must have escaped here! There are pieces of metal scattered on the floor, aren't there? I see what you mean. Please help me heat the metal shards!
The red-hot ingots drove the thorns away! Thanks to my grandmother. My grandmother told me fairy tales about the trials of the fairies. One of them was about heating metal. Danou seems to be obsessed with fairies...
-
Gift of Nimue
Kira Woodville
Once Danoux is captured, we will put him up for interrogation! After the maze, we found a man-made lake with no door. There must be a secret passage somewhere...
So you found the lake door! I had no idea that the lake water hid the glass trapdoor! Come on, let's get down there. Danou must be somewhere beyond!
-
The Only Truth
Rayden Storke
Herbert Danoux, the creator of the pavilion, mistook us for fairies and fled! Behind the hidden door is a maze of mirrors, but I have a multidimensional lamp. Let's turn on the lamp!
Okay, the multidimensional lamp is shining! This light sees through fog. It should also be quite useful in this maze, as it will help us see through the fake reflected light.
-
Gentle call
Kira Woodville
Director Black's intuition was not wrong. Danube's mechanical fairies are hypnotizing people. But why? Let's examine the fairies for more evidence.
Were all the fairies equipped with speakers in their throats? Did you notice the voices the fairies emitted? Those are distorted "wisdom" voices, and they work like a truth serum. Was Danou trying to intimidate people?
-
Numbing charm
Rayden Storke
What were the pavilion visitors happening to? They liked it here, just like I like people...oh, what am I saying! My thoughts are clouded by something. Let's find the cause before I say something strange again!
You say these are the eyes of a mechanical fairy? I can't look away from your gaze...be careful. These eyes seem to have a hypnotic effect! Was Danou using this to influence visitors?
-
The Little Keeper.
Rayden Storke
Why did visitors try to destroy the pavilion? People loved Danube's inventions, especially the mechanical fairies. There are even miniature fairies for sale in a nearby store. Let's check it out.
This miniature fairy is truly a work of art! People loved the Danube fairies because of their ability to predict the future. Perhaps the fairy predicted some bad future.
-
siren device
Kira Woodville
The mechanical fairies really do seem to be alive, don't they? The fairies look at us and sometimes even smile. Sounds seem to be distorted near the fairies. Can you help us to investigate?
Did any fairy have this device? This is a sound wave resonator. With it, you can hear the smallest sound clearly. Why is there such a device here?
-
pipe dream
Rayden Storke
The enchanting pavilion was nearly destroyed by the crowd, and the man who built it disappeared. Danoux apparently spent a considerable amount of time obtaining building permits. Here is an early sketch of the pavilion. Take a look.
This sketch is quite interesting. From the beginning, Danube seems to have thought of the pavilion as a glass garden with a hypnotic effect. Was it that important?
-
eye of a storm
Rayden Storke
Aside from the creaking of a malfunctioning fairy, the pavilion is quiet. There is no confusion around the building either. It looks like we can check inside. I'll go in first. Let's proceed without any distractions.
The pavilion looks like a forest. Large mushrooms are growing in the faint light. Oops, a fairy has turned around to look at us! This is unexpected. It makes me uneasy. Let's find Danou and ask her what's going on.
-
Appetite Knitting Bread
Lady
Thank you so much! Your upcoming bread dough is very nice! Now all I have to do is to shape the bread. My grandmother used to teach me how to decorate pastries by weaving strings of dough in unusual ways. I'm sure I have a pastry spinning wheel somewhere. Would you please look for it with me?
This is it. This is the pastry spinning wheel that my grandmother used. She made it herself so she could decorate her pastries with finely woven dough. With this, I can make a special Easter bun. I have already thought of the pattern, so all I have to do is make it. But I don't have time.
-
Blizzard Lights
Miller
The most important step in preparing the Easter bread dough is the part where you add the correct amount of snow flour. The last time the dough froze, it was because Lady Rosemary added too much flour. I have weighed out exactly the amount needed, so go ahead and give the snow dust to Lady Rosemary.
Thanks for the help. Now they will put in the correct amount of snow dust. Lady Rosemary's bread should be as light and soft as a fluttering snowflake. The old blizzard gave me the characteristics of snowflakes. Surely there are snowstorms that make snowflakes like that!
-
Gentle fragrance
Lady
I think apple is a good flavor for Easter bread. Spring is not apple season, but the miller said to use a bowl of apples to knead the dough. I wonder where he put it after all the trouble he went through to bring it here? Have you seen it?
There was an apple bowl, wasn't there? This unusual bowl was made by nature spirits from the trunk of an old apple tree that brought a bountiful harvest. When the ingredients for Easter bread are mixed in the bowl, the dough releases a pleasant apple aroma.
-
Essence of Moonlight
Miller
Lady Rosemary is hurriedly baking Easter bread, hoping to get it done before the guests arrive. I wrote in the recipe that the dough needed silver wheat. That's the berries that ripen on the night of the full moon. Lady is in such a hurry she might forget. She's in a hurry. Can you help me find the silver wheat?
You did a great job. I need silver wheat in my dough to bake special Easter bread. Only the moonlight gathered by these berries will produce just the right softness. I'll take this to my lady and see if I can add it properly.
-
new green leaves
Lady
I would like to treat my friends to this unusual recipe that you shared with me. I'm sorry I messed it up the first time, but I'll be careful next time. Can you help me find some rabbit mints? It is a very important ingredient.
I'm so glad you found the rabbit mint! Rabbit mint is a favorite of naughty bunnies, and after a long day of playing, they chew on these mint leaves to quench their thirst. The mint gives Easter bread a refreshing taste, perfect for a sunny spring day.
-
Extra components
Valerie
This hard-working beaver must have used a lot of artifacts when building the dam! I wonder if it opened a portal and pulled in river water? That looks like the artifact we're looking for. Looks like a rabbit funnel. Help the miller reach it!
We did it, we did it! The grinder pulled the rabbit funnel out of the beaver's dam, so the river water no longer flows somewhere unknown. This artifact has opened a portal, so be careful! But the river seems to have changed from what it was before. Why is that?
-
Reliable safety belts
Miller
I have an idea. I will pull the artifact out of the beaver dam where the portal is open. The water should return to the river and the water mill house should finally be able to grind its chi. I have to carefully climb up to the top of the dam to avoid being sucked into the portal. For safety, I'll use my willow belt. Where did I put that thing?
You found me a willow belt. This is what I wove. It will keep me safe when I take artifacts from the dam. Hold on tight so I don't get sucked into the portal with the water. I don't want to go to some distant world where I'll be separated from my family and friends.
-
Stem of Friendship
Miller
The beaver that lives near my water mill also has an aesthetic sense. That beaver also decorated his dam with artifacts. If one of these created the portal that changed the flow of the river, we need to identify it. Let's look for reeds in the swamp.
Swamp reeds are a favorite of beavers. If we are lucky, they will let us see the dam in exchange for these sweet stalks. Okay, he's interested in the reeds. While the beaver is chewing on the stalk, let's check out the artifact he brought to the dam.
-
The Hairy Architect
Valerie
The river is disappearing into a portal in the dam. We need to get the river back to normal to get the waterwheel going again, but how do we do that? Find the person who opened this portal? This is a beaver dam, so we better look for the kid who built it. Have you seen a beaver anywhere?
I knew it was a beaver! He doesn't look like the kind of scientist or wizard who would open a portal...but look, he's dragging some kind of artifact to the dam. There are more at the dam! Could one of these artifacts have opened the portal? Hmmm, I'm sure they did.
-
Water Barrier
Miller
We need to get water back in the river as soon as possible and get the water trucks working again. We have had floods and droughts before, but never to the point where the water was completely gone! There is a strange beaver dam upstream? Let's go to the
You are right, this dam is strange. The dam has a small but powerful portal attached to it and the river water is disappearing into it. Did the wizard need the river water for some reason, or is there some mad scientist experimenting here? We'll have to find out.
-
Let the river run its course.
Miller
The troll parts have drawn the spring breath particles to the waterwheel house, so we need to give the breath back to the fish and other river creatures. To do so, we could fill the fish feeders with the particles and submerge them in the river!
It's a fine fish feeder! It will hold a lot of spring breath particles. All we have to do now is to put it in the water and wait for the river current to carry the particles away. Soon the river will be full of critters again!
-
Higher and higher!
Agvid Hanson
Have you noticed that the willow branches near the water mill are completely dry? The birds perched on the branches have also frozen over. It seems that the canopy of the tree has lost its spring breath. But how can we carry the particles to the top of the tree...? Oh well! Let's find the web of the rainbow spider!
You have got a good spider web in the air. This spider web is very delicate. It is like a work of art! The rainbow spider uses this web to move from tree to tree on the air currents. With this web, I can deliver the particles to the top of the willow tree.
-
Large-scale solutions
Miller
I came up with a way to spread the spring breath particles over a large area. The moss is actively growing right now. First, find me a moss bush. Then I will explain!
Oh, the hana-goke is growing well! This is what I was looking for. I placed some particles on the moss. These particles should spread all over the area with the spores.
-
Things that help flowers
Doorkeeper
Spring is a magical season! Colorful flowers are opening and a pleasant warm breeze is blowing. I saw many bumblebees in the flower bed by the water mill. Place some spring particles on the flowers and wait for the bumblebees to pick them up.
It worked! The bumblebees picked up the spring breath particles and delivered them to the flowers of their original owners. Let's spread a few more particles in the flower bed so that the bumblebees can deliver them to other dead plants!
-
tailwind
Agvid Hanson
I have a few ideas on how to put the spring breath particles back in their place. On the way to the water mill, I saw another heron turned to stone by the river and picked up its feather. I put the spring breath particle on it and...wait, where's the feather?
Thank you for finding the heron feathers that I had dropped. You've gone so far as to put a spring particle on it. Now all you have to do is wait for the wind to blow toward the river, let go of the feather, and it will fly straight to the heron that is now a stone and bring it back to life.
-
The one that grabs the rain
Doorkeeper
Did you bring an umbrella? The next ingredient needed to restore the particles is the first drop of a spring storm. That's not an easy task because we don't know where the first drops will fall. However, we asked the nature spirits to send a hummingbird for us.
The hummingbirds got the first drops of the spring storm. Try gently pushing this drop into the bottle. This precious material has the power of running water to protect the life of the particles.
-
Fairy Gifts
Miller
My daughter Melania once saved a fairy from a giant grasshopper and in return she was given the ability to talk to flowers. Melania told me which flowers contain "butterfly pollen". I'll show you!
Your jar is almost full of butterfly pollen! Hold it tight so it doesn't fly away! That's all you need to pollinate the restored spring breath particles and regain the ability to float in the air.
-
Heavenly Kisses
Agvid Hanson
After returning the spring breath particles to their original form, they must be placed on the sunset container. The sunset container is filled with sunlight, which fills the particles with just the right amount of warmth. Can you help us find the container?
You have found the container of the sunset! This vessel is said to be made from a sunflower that the sky fell in love with. They say that one day the sky touched the flower, and from its kiss the sun was born.
-
What to be joined
Miller
Looking for resin? Last year I planted a tree near the water mill, and a blizzard broke off several branches. I thought about cutting them off, but the leaking resin joined the broken pieces. I'll look for resin over there!
Looks like you got the resin. Resin is a restorative for spring breath particles. I hope it works!
-
gravity
Doorkeeper
The mortar crushed the spring breath particles into tiny shards. To reattach the mashed particles, we will need a sun magnet. Let's go look for it!
You have fortunately found a sun magnet! It is shaped like a maze made of cosmic energy and the sun attracts particles. Within this maze, the particles reattach themselves according to the laws of nature.
-
Hold the light in your hand.
Doorkeeper
The miller warned us that the attic, where the troll tracks continue, is pitch black. Thieves might attack us out of the dark and run away. Trolls are nocturnal and have better night vision than we do. We had better find something to light the way ahead.
You have found a great, dazzling lamp! As the sun sets into the ocean, particles of sunlight are stripped away. Inside the lamp are the pieces. The light from this lamp could blind hundreds of trolls!
-
Locked in a box.
Doorkeeper
Shhhh! See that big box in the corner? A troll with a bag might be able to get inside. I noticed the box is unlocked. Let's get closer. I will open the box and you can catch the troll!
The box was empty, wasn't it? Apparently, the troll stole other items from the powder grinder. How did the culprit carry all those things? I'm stuck. Any ideas on what to do?
-
security device
Miller
The door is locked, but it doesn't hurt to install a device that will alert you if a troll tries to escape with the stolen bag. There is a specially made security device somewhere. Help me find it and install it.
This is what I was looking for! I often store my crops in the waterwheel shed, so I have this device set up for the winter to protect them from thieves. If a thief turns the knob, the alarm bell will ring and block the door.
-
Traces of powder
Doorkeeper
The thief will not have gone far. Look at the floor of the water mill. They are covered with snow dust. The miller said he sweeps the floor every day. This means that in addition to our footprints, there should be boot prints left by the thieves.
Most of the footprints are from the shoes of the miller. There are footprints of you, of Agvid, and of me. But the footprints over there must be those of the thief. The tracks lead to a boot that was taken off in the middle of the trail. Considering the size, they belong to a troll!
-
False Pathways
Agvid Hanson
When the waterwheel house stops, take it apart and find the parts made by the trolls. The mystery of the spring particles must be there...look, the parts are tangled in the roots. Try to loosen the tangle with an artifact.
When I held up the artifact, the roots loosened. See, the new component has a hidden part. There is a contraption shaped like a bridge... see how the spring particles are moving along it? This is what was pulling the particles together!
-
forcing to a stop
Miller
You have to understand. I can't interrupt the cold air grind. So I had no choice but to accept the deal... you want to stop the waterwheel shed to examine the parts? The stop switch is on the wall next to the waterwheel...
You know, the switch with the branch on the wall. That's not just a decoration. The switch is made of real vines with roots that lead to the waterwheel. If you want to stop the mill, just pull the switch down.
-
Suspicious Repair
Miller
How did you repair such a complicated breakdown, you ask? At first I tried to repair it myself and it didn't work. Then I made a contract with a blacksmith who was at the market in Trolls. I have the contract in my house, let's go find it.
Trolls don't trust ink, so the deal was written in stone. The blacksmith demanded a very high price for the new parts, but we managed to compromise. It's all written in the contract, you see.
-
Recent breakdowns
Miller
Now you know I have no ill will. I don't know why this water mill is attracting the breath of spring. Perhaps it is due to a recent breakdown. Do you see the broken parts?
Yes, that component is what caused this water mill to stop. It's the heart of this magical contraption. But the part is worn out... the crystal in the middle has lost its light, and there is a crack at the base. It was a pain in the ass to get rid of the problem.
-
Conqueror of Cold Air
Agvid Hanson
The miller assured us that the water mill would not take anything away from the spring particles. Rather, he said, it brings spring closer. He even seems to be able to show us the blueprints of the waterwheel house so that we can understand how it works. But for that, we need to help him find the blueprints.
Thanks for finding the blueprints. According to the diagram, it appears that the water mill attracts cold air through a magical device that grinds it into snow dust, thus bringing spring. So the miller collects that powder and scatters it when winter comes.
-
Symbol of Happiness
Miller
Once, when there was a crop failure, my family was starving. Desperate, I made a bow and went hunting. I saw a raven attacking a swallow and shot an arrow at it. To my surprise, the raven was an evil wizard and the swallow was a spring girl. See that nest under the roof?
This nest appeared after I rescued the spring girl. Swallows, they say, nest near kind-hearted people. Since then, I have never had a bad harvest. The spring girl allowed me to be a part of her entourage and work for the spring.
-
glittering traces
Agvid Hanson
The breath of spring, even when squelched, radiates sunshine. Take a closer look. Do you see the gold pieces left behind? Let's split up here. You look at the garden. I'll check around the water mill.
You have found it! There are pieces left on this sieve. It is obvious that someone has grinded the spring breath particles. Can you feel the heat coming from the sieve? Perhaps there must be a bag containing the shards nearby.
-
snow dust
Agvid Hanson
If someone crushed and froze the spring particles, there must be other evidence left behind. Look at this mechanical scale. It looks like someone measured a bag of something on the ground. Check the scale to see if there are any traces of stolen particles left behind.
There was only flour on the mechanical scale, but this flour was cold... at first I thought that the particles had been frozen and milled, but there was no sign of the breath of spring that brings life. Let's keep investigating...
-
Last ice
Agvid Hanson
I noticed that the last spring breath that flowed out of that heron, like all the other particles in the river, was rushing to the waterwheel. Please help us investigate!
It's strange. All the snow has melted around here and the sun is warming up, yet there is still ice on the waterwheel. Did someone break the particles of spring breath and freeze them?
-
Stone Life
Agvid Hanson
I, too, wish the grain in the river were gold. But the situation is more serious than you think. These particles are the breath of spring. And the fact that they appear is never a good sign. Take a good look at the mating herons near the waterwheel.
As you may have noticed, one heron has turned to stone. Almost every particle of the life-giving spring breath has left this heron. The same thing has happened to the flora and fauna near the river. Something has literally taken the life out of them.
-
Stone Watchers
Huntress
To regain your strength, you first need an amulet of perception made of gargoyle skin. These statues have lined the roofs for ages, keeping watch over the precious artifacts. Perception is an indispensable trait for the gargoyle.
You found a perception amulet! It should help you in your future explorations.
-
Light and warmth
Valerie
Brrrr... it's a little chilly in the room Madame Miyuki has created for the cats of Dusk. These cats basically prefer lower temperatures, but sometimes they need some warmth. For example, how about an aroma lamp with an extra flame? Let's look for it!
Nice aroma lamp with a solid lid so you won't get burned by the embers. Dusk and her kittens will be more comfortable with a heat source like this nearby. And it would be a nice addition to a cat café!
-
reliable watchdog
Valerie
Madame Miyuki is trying to create the best environment for the twilight cats, but she can't do it all at once. The kitties have to know other critters, but it's hard to find ones that like twilight. Hmmm...maybe you could go get some silver-winged beetles?
Wow, you caught a silver-winged beetle! I could never do that...because Eddie would scare the crap out of me. This nocturnal beetle thrives in the absence of light and has a very hard outer skin. They don't get hurt when the kittens play with them, so I'm sure they'll get to know the world a little better!
-
Magical capture
Cardsharp
I have an idea! Let's fish some grains of gold out of the river and examine them. If the gold in the river is cursed as I predicted, it would be foolish to do it with our bare hands. We'll use a net instead!
You made a net out of flowering vines to scoop up the rare grains! Wait a minute... the grains in the net float like feathers. How can gold float like this?
-
source of attraction
Cardsharp
The house by the river is probably a water mill. I hope it's abandoned, but if there's an owner, he'll have all the treasures the river has brought to him all to himself. Let's check out the property!
The water mill yard is well kept and the shed itself looks new. It obviously has an owner, but he doesn't seem to be around right now. This is a surprise! Like a magnet, the shining grains in the river are attracted to the blades of the waterwheel. But where do they go after that?
-
fountain that never dries up
Madame Miyuki
I have been feeding and watering the cats in the twilight. Because of the anomaly, these cats need fresh water from a mountain spring. Could you please find a spring so that the cats in the twilight can drink fresh water at any time?
Thank you for the fountain stone. It was created by a mountain goddess for her beloved storyteller. Centuries ago, the goddess took her beloved storyteller to heaven, leaving only the stone in this world. From now on, it will be useful for the cat in the twilight.
-
figure of a cat with one paw raised (usu. white porcelain)
Martha
Your next job is going to be a little harder. Look for the beckoning cat, also known as the "beckoning cat. They know how to invite good luck.
You found me a beckoning cat with its right hand raised! Actually, I forgot to tell you... the right hand brings good luck, but the left hand invites customers into your store or restaurant. Maybe the card scammer's casino has one. They seem to be quite prosperous.
-
lucky horseshoe
Martha
I also need a horseshoe for the ritual. It works best if it's made of precious metal, but let's try it first.
Silver horseshoes! It must have been someone's amulet! I hope you didn't steal it?
-
lucky clover
Martha
I hate to say this, but I knew you were right. That detective is being held captive by the Spirit of Gambling. A small, lowly, ancient spirit with a half-priest in it. It robs him of self-control, blinds him to unreasonable risks, and makes him crave money. Let the forces of fortune, fate, good luck, and blessings be on your side. First, find a four-leaf clover. Then I'll tell you what to do next.
The leaves are dry, did you borrow them from someone else? Or did you originally have some and gave them to me to do some good?
-
Troubling situation
Cardsharp
Ninjas don't always fight you face to face. Detectives can even have a blade to the throat in the blink of an eye in a smoke of poison. A "shuriken of ideas" would give you the strength to handle any situation. Find that one.
Hmmm, the "shuriken of ideas" is decorated with jewelry... If the detective doesn't have to fight the ninja with the garden, I would love to have this rare object myself.
-
Tiger bravery
Inspector
It takes more than courage to spot a shuriken flying toward you. Look for the "rigid shuriken." With that, the detective will be able to overcome his hesitation in his fight against the ninja.
I see the shuriken you found is encrusted with yellow sapphires. This will give the detective more courage than he ever imagined. I guess he'll need this to fight the ninjas.
-
Overcoming height
Valerie
According to Madame Miyuki, the kittens at Dusk are shy. That's why she wants them to get used to the cat café as soon as possible. But where do the kittens play and sharpen their nails? Mother cats and kittens need a place to climb, so could you please help me find Midnight Willow together?
I see you found the Midnight Willow! Martha told me the best thing about this tree. She said the branches grow even when cut from the trunk, which glows in the dark. I'm sure the cats at twilight would feel right at home up in this tree!
-
Work Notes
Martha
The detective is terribly depressed. To help him enjoy life, let's find him a notepad and a pencil that will never run out of lead. Because he is always complaining that he doesn't have the tools to record evidence.
With a notepad and pencil like this, the detective won't be able to resist returning to this life. The terrible depression would completely disappear!
-
Useful Gifts
Martha
All it takes to restore the hope of life to a guide is... what? A lot of whiskey? No! It has to be something more useful. Find a bolt in the rail. He loves to fix railroad defects.
With a bolt in the rail, the guides can keep working. So it should revive interest in life.
-
Happiness in the Past
Martha
This coin, also known as an "obolus," is cursed. Whoever holds this coin will be drawn to the Carrón of the Underworld. We need to find something of value for each person who holds the coin to drive away the distractions to the underworld and make them want to return to this life. Balloons would work well for Valerie.
With these fun balloons, we should be able to lure Valerie over here from the dark underworld... Oh, I totally forgot. We need to get the coins back from the cursed people and give them to Karoun.

The Road in the Mist
Huntress
Bao is a young man of great skill. Even I am amazed at his knowledge of the Chinese art of war. To prepare your defense, you need a special two-wheeled chariot with a small statue on it. Find it before the monsters arrive.
The Shihan Chariot is explained in the Wujing Soukyou. It helps you find your way in the fog. The image of a man with outstretched arms serves as a compass.

Debt to Detective.
Cardsharp
I told you earlier that I've been rushing to pay off my debt since meeting with the enforcer of the curse. In fact, I owe the detective three coins as well. I want you to take the three coins out of the bag you brought me and give them to me when you meet with the detective.
Could you, by any chance, help us return the coins to our creditors? The list is getting rather long...and I'm getting tired of running around town.

Images of the Future
Martha
My inner eye is turning to images of a possible future. A horde of monsters is attacking the city, but there is a remedy. The defense caves that Bao read about in the Kiyo-ei Shinsho. Find it!
You have found the defense yagura. You see a new vision of the future. You have a better chance of surviving this attack.

Tricks of the Sea
Mei
This doubles our opportunities, my father, the emperor, said. The city's defenses are not complete without taking into account the possibility of attack from the sea. Find the burning fire ships!
Fire ships are essential to skillful sea combat. It is necessary to create a maritime domain map of the city, such as the Chia-Kun map in the Wu-Bi Zhi book of military strategy.

Signs in the Mist
Yui
Monsters will soon flood the city! Hurry up and plan your defensive strategy. Chinese books will help. One of them mentions rocket cannons. Can you find it for me?
When we were preparing for battle I read in the Houlongjin book about the use of rocket cannons. We could use these to signal each other when monsters were coming.

soft light
Madame Miyuki
Twilight's cat and her kittens were brought to the cat cafe and I decided to watch over their care. There was an anomaly and those kittens were much more nervous than before. I ordered some "moonlights" so the kittens wouldn't be frightened by the bright light. Can you help me hang them?
Thank you for your help in installing the lights. This was made by a craftsman who could reproduce the light of the moon. The soft light is gentle on the kittens' eyes, and we thought they would relax in a room lit by that light. I hope those kittens will adjust to their new home.

Silver freight car
Cardsharp
Excuse me, can you please save the poor Trump scammers from having their blood, sweat and hard earned money taken away? I'm in danger of getting a lot of creditor orders. After recent events, I had to rush to pay my debts before someone cursed me. I have already given away one bag of coins. Can I ask for your help for another bagful?
For me, this is a tremendous burden, you understand... The truth is, handing over a bag full of coins to a creditor is not a decision I made on my own.

Flowering Power
Juliette
I too would like to help a kitten affected by fog. I recently got sick from overwork, but Martha gave me a special concoction that made me feel better right away. I thought I brought that medicine with me, but where did I put it? Please help me find the golden root elixir!
I see you found the golden root elixir! Thank you! This elixir will help my kitties feel better after I get rid of the fog. Martha says the living plant gives this elixir special powers and I treasure it as much as my flowers.
-
thread of salvation
Madame Miyuki
While removing the fog from the cat, one must not frighten the cat. After all, fog creates anomalies. It is better to set up a protective ward around the cat. I have made a special rope, a crystal shimenawa, to put up the warding. Can you bring it to me?
Thank you for the crystal shimenawa. This rope is woven with crystal fibers and is enchanted, so it has strong spiritual power. If you make a ring around your kitten with this shimenawa, you can protect it from dangerous anomalies.

light brown
Isabelle
Chinese white tea would be another great addition to my collection. It's one of the most precious and popular types of tea in all of China. It is truly the tea of emperors. I am sure you will find it.
You really do work wonders! I finally have some white tea in my collection. The name comes from the white hairs that grow all over the buds of the tea leaves. The entrancing honeyed aroma and the refreshing bitter taste make it perfect for morning sipping.
-
green tea
Isabelle
Green tea is a must in my elegant tea collection. It's right up my alley for its health benefits, such as relieving fatigue. Will you look for it for me?
You found green tea! I can't believe I found it so quickly. Is this your first time drinking this tea? The directions say, "It relieves fatigue and exhaustion, quenches thirst and lightens the body..." Oh, it sounds like the instructions for a water pipe, doesn't it? What? "It also has anti-aging properties. That's the best part!

Oolong tea or Oolong tea
Isabelle
I've got a growing collection of teas, but I haven't gotten my hands on Aurong tea or Oolong tea (it's pronounced Chinese, so it doesn't matter which) yet. Oolong tea is supposed to help with style. Could you please go look for it for me?
What wonderful luck to have found that famous Oolong tea! It is known as the tea with the most complex aroma and taste. That is why this tea was often drunk at important tea ceremonies.

The key is breathing
Madame Miyuki
It is not enough to keep the cat away from the fog and clean its body. If you don't let it exhale all the fog it has inhaled, the fog will circulate in its body forever. This is why we need young storm pine trees. Can you help us find them?
You have found the end of the storm! This plant has the unusual property of purifying the air. I used to grow these plants in the infirmary in my family's inn... This pine tree purifies the air that cats inhale and the bark absorbs all the mist that they exhale.

Precious toys
Juliette
The detective said that Madame Miyuki takes very good care of her cats. I, too, want to help the cats that have been altered by the fog. She says she needs her favorite blowfish toy to calm them down. Let's find it together.
Is that a blowfish toy? Very cute! Madame Miyuki told me that Foggy Kitten had been homesick for a while because she could not get used to being in a cat café. At that time, the kitten had a soft blowfish toy all to herself and played with it. I'm sure this will help the kitten calm down.

A powerful blow
Bao
To protect the city and its people from the coming of the monsters that emerge from the mists, you should collect the most effective fighting equipment described in the ancient Chinese books. With these, you will not be defeated! Find the triple crossbow in a hurry.
The triple crossbow is first mentioned in a book called the Wujing Soumu (Compendium of the Martial Arts). It can damage large objects with a single extreme blow. It will protect us even if monsters attack us.
-
Elegant Protection
Madame Miyuki
By removing the fog from the cat, you can save the cat from possible harm caused by exposure to the dangerous fog. First, move the cat to a safe and comfortable place. We have prepared a special protective box, can you bring it from the counter?
Thank you for bringing your protective box. The walls of the box, made of pine (nezumi) wood, protect the kitten from the fog that accumulates. It is always comfortable thanks to the soft bedding inside. You need to be prepared for every eventuality because you can't help this kitten if he remains anxious.

strategic disappearance
Detective
Not a great outfit, but still not enough to fight a ninja. I've heard that there's a hidden shuriken somewhere in the city. I bet that would help us defeat the ninjas. Help me find it.
This shuriken you found is a wonderfully burnished gem. This will come in handy fighting the ninja spirits in the "Japanese Garden.
-
Agile as lightning
Valerie
If detectives are going to fight ninjas, they need to work on their speed. But we don't have time for that. We need to find the Shuriken of Speed. You'll be as fast as lightning.
Yes, this is the "swift shuriken." The ninja used to use these all the time. Not as a weapon, but as a distraction. If you use it, you can beat the ninja spirits in the garden.
-
Monkey Technology
Martha
If you intend to defeat the ninjas of the Japanese Garden, detective, you should learn a new fighting technique. A ninja wins a fight by using the enemy's strength against him. A skilled shuriken would not only teach the detective the art of fighting, it would also give him the energy of an ancient soul. Can you help me find some shuriken?
You've found a well-crafted shuriken. Legend has it that the warrior with it was invincible. With this, detective, you should be able to hone your martial arts skills and get your hands on the garden flowers.

Blood Seal
Huntress
After the trial, the Countess was imprisoned. She was locked up in her own castle, and her dragon crest has been unlucky ever since. Can you help me find that crest? It should help us free Juliette from the Countess's spirit.
The Bart seal found was from a letter written to her by the countess's son. He writes that the key witnesses were executed before the trial. How unfair can a trial be?
-
Blood Ruby
Inspector
The Countess's blood-red necklace had some sort of payment promise note attached to it, you know. You'll find that necklace. It will help to dispel Juliette's nightmares. Free her from the Countess's influence.
The note on the necklace reads. The Hungarian lord owed a great debt to the countess. He launched an investigation into Bator. He started an investigation on Bator, so that he would not have to pay the debt.
-
warm bath
Juliette
So this is the bath the blood countess used. What is this liquid? Tell me it's an infusion of herbs. I'm getting goosebumps. I want her spirit to go away right away.

Taste of Hygge
Nicholas
There is something so familiar about the taste of Hygge that it feels a little like a celebration. It's tea with honey, almond cookies... yes, everyone in town should have a traditional drink, grog! Can you find it?
Glögg is a traditional Nordic wine-based drink. It warms both your body and your soul. Try drinking it. You'll feel the hygge right away. Cinnamon, spices, citrus peel...
-
Hygge scent
Icy
A well-chosen Hygge fragrance can calm any anxiety people may have. They put you on the right wavelength for the magic of celebrating Christmas. Find and smell the "cransekerke" of almond cake!
The "Crane Cake" is a multi-layered "wreath cake." The aroma of almonds and syrup gives a feeling of warmth and comfort. This is exactly what the residents need!
-
Hygge sensation
Nicholas
If residents are to prepare for Christmas without fear of a new threat from the "Snow Queen," they need to be surrounded by easygoing, comforting, hüge items. Can you help me find the "carved wooden reindeer?"
With this "carved wooden reindeer" toy, I think you too can understand the feeling of hygge. It's the feeling you get when you touch something that feels so good. It's something that brings back the best memories of my childhood and my life.
-
Praise the sea.
Madame Miyuki
With the detective, I also saw a cat spirit nearby, but it did not approach me. That's strange. If there is nothing to scare you, the spirit should come out. Hmmm...I think I may know why. Could you please prepare some fish to offer to the ghost?
See, ghosts are not supposed to eat, but offerings are being eaten. So what we are looking for is not a ghost but a special animal. We need to protect them before they are harmed by someone frightened!
-
Calming scent
Detective
The spirit of the cat shows no sign of coming out no matter what we do. Let's change our strategy. According to Madame Miyuki, the cats in her store love balls of matatabi...or something like that, with special herbs inside. Perhaps the cat spirits will like them too. Buddy, can you find me some matatabi balls?
That's quintessential, buddy! These matatavi balls will help attract cat spirits. The cats in the cat café are crazy about the matatavi balls, but I don't smell anything... Hey, look over there! There was a ghost right now, but it hid right away. What went wrong?
-
Perfect look
Madame Miyuki
The spirit of the kitten has yet to appear. It may not be an evil spirit that the kitten fears, but something of this world looking for the kitten's mate. To pretend to be a cat spirit, you need to be in disguise. Can you find our special obsidian masks?
You have found an obsidian mask! Look at the inlaid opal. This is a gemstone that creates an illusion. Its power strengthens the aura of my soul and makes me look like a ghost. Nope, this is no good either. Why can't the spirit of the cat come out?
-
melody of purification
Detective
According to Madame Miyuki, the cat spirits will not come out until we ensure their safety. I'm not a magician by any means, but I can't leave the kitty spirits alone. I asked the madam if there was anything else that could protect the cat spirits, and she told me about the rain wind chimes. Buddy, will you help me find one?
Is this the rain wind chime? Thanks for the help, buddy. I asked Madam Miyuki how it works. She said the water in the bell is sacred, and it dispels evil spirits. And she said the sound of the wind chime spreads the power of purification to the surrounding area. I hope this helps the cat spirits.
