Tidiness in Small Things
Somnia
We’ll also make a magical dream duster for Ole’s new umbrella. Why? If people remember fragments of dreams in the morning, it means that they didn’t get enough sleep. The duster will help.
Great job! Your duster made from Martha’s charmed herbs is first-class! Now you can drive fragments of dreams away from those waking minds. This new device is many times better than Ole’s old umbrellas!
-
Free Hands
Martha
We’ll make a new umbrella for Ole that’s more convenient. He used to open his umbrella over a child and hold it - but he won’t have to with a stand. Can you find a bird-legged candlestick? I’ll show you how.
You found a wonderful candlestick - its leg is shaped like a bird’s leg, which makes it very stable. Let’s fix the umbrella’s dome on this leg. There won’t be any need to hold it, so Ole’s hands won’t get tired!
-
A Membrane Dome
Somnia
Let’s make Ole’s umbrella durable so that it doesn’t break again. How do you feel about designing a batwing-folding mechanism for it? Find the right drawing!
Great job! You found a detailed drawing of a batwing among Jack’s notes. Now we’ll be able to make the folding mechanism of Ole Lukøje’s new umbrella naturally strong.
-
Dream Matter
Martha
I have an idea for how to fix Ole’s umbrella. Or rather, create a new one! Living yarn will be perfect for this: Jul spun it from monsters’ wool, creating a magical fabric. Please find it!
Wonderful! We’ll weave an umbrella fabric from the yarn you found that creates vivid pictures and reflects darkness if necessary. This way, Ole won’t have to carry two umbrellas with him!
-
A Sleep-Guarding Monster
Cardsharp
We’ve eased Boogie’s fear, but we need to make sure children are no longer afraid to sleep in the dark! Martha found a baby who was most easily scared. Bring me some artifacts; let’s see how he sleeps!
Incredible! For a moment, we saw a little bed where the baby was sleeping peacefully. It seems it’s completely safe there. Have you seen one of Boogie’s nightmares standing guard over the child’s sleep?
-
Conquering Fear
Martha
We’ve learned how Boogie became a monster, and how fear lingers through the generations! The monster’s no longer dangerous, but I feel that children may still be afraid of it. Let’s help them! Hand me that child’s rattle!
You brought me an old rattle: Parents put such rattles in their children’s crib at night. I enchanted it, so now by blowing the silver whistle, you’ll hear a lullaby sung by your mother’s voice. It will dispel any fear.
-
Assuming a New Form
Martha
But how did Boogie become a monster hiding in closets? Maybe we’ll find clues as to why he grew fond of closets in the very first one? Jack hid everything connected to Boogie here. Have a look.
You found the first closet that Boogie used to hide in! I touched it and saw the pirate’s cursed spirit wandering through the streets and houses. It was frightening everyone, just like in scary sailor legends.
-
It’s Boogeyman Time!
Martha
We’re close to solving the mystery! It looks like Boogie was once a pirate and cursed with a black spot. But how did he become such a monster? Let’s search the place to find something of his, and I’ll inspect it.
You found a wristwatch with a trace of a curse. I’ll examine it with my inner eye! Oh, I see - as a cursed pirate, the Boogeyman was killed in a naval battle, and his killer took his wristwatch.
-
How the Horror Was Born
Cardsharp
Let’s search the maze again to try to understand the origins of the Boogeyman’s power. I sense a powerful, cursed item somewhere nearby, you can trust Cardsharp on that! Ugh... Could it really hold the secret of that monster’s curse?
You’ve found a stencil seal, used to curse items with a black-spot symbol. Pirates used these black spots in the past.
-
Who Are You, Boogeyman?
Cardsharp
Let’s rummage through all the nooks and crannies of Jack’s maze to find clues from the Boogeyman’s past. I’m sure there must be a key to the origins of his power. Bring me anything suspicious that you find!
You’ve found an antique puppet that Martha claims is related to the Boogeyman. Interesting! I won a puppet like that once in a game of cards. It’s a toy Indonesian pirate. I don’t understand...
-
Changing the Prison
Somnia
Boo needs his own warm bedroom, but you have to look after him. I’ll give you this medallion lock so the monster can sleep peacefully, and you can check up on him.
Now Boo is under reliable supervision, and I can finally give people beautiful dreams. Good night, and sweet dreams!
-
Spooky!
Detective
After the Boogeyman’s capture, I can conclude the victims are... asleep. Let them think it was all a dream. Hmm... What other dangerous prisoners could be held in Jack’s dungeon?
-
A Lulled Horror
Somnia
Let’s protect Boo from the nightmares that might wake him! Salem and I combined the magic of Halloween with dream magic and created a nightmare catcher. We need your artifacts to power it!
Now that nightmares won’t ruin Boo’s sleep, I know we’re safe. We did it! Thank you!
-
Fantastic Colors
Somnia
I’ll give Boo a magical kaleidoscope that creates unique dreams so Boo’s dreams never repeat. This way, it will be interesting for him to sleep longer. Can you figure out how to secure it?
Your sleep mask idea is brilliant! Now the prisoner will see pleasant dreams until the end of time. He’s mumbling... It sounds like Boo is really pleased!
-
Quieter than a Bat’s Flight
Adeline Svensson
For Boo to sleep longer, let’s put a nightlight with white noise near his cradle. I turn it on when I write my articles so nothing bothers me. Can you help me charge it?
Now not a single rustle will wake our cute monster. The nightlight will work for many centuries, and we’ll visit to make sure everything’s under control.
-
A Dream’s Embrace
Jack
We should surround Boo with care to ensure nothing interferes with his sleep. I’ll give him my pillow, and our prisoner will sleep like a baby in its cozy embrace.
Boo sleeps so deeply that I envy him a little. I hope he has the sweetest dreams of world domination. He’s clearly happy; he’s smiling!
-
Under the Cover of Night
Juliette
To help Boo sleep soundly, let’s make it eternally nighttime in his cradle. Somnia gave me the stars from the dream world’s sky in a small garland. We’ll use them to embroider a blanket and cover Boo with it!
Thank you for helping with Boo’s blanket. Now the morning won’t wake him up. The stars from the dream world are so beautiful! That’s why people love to sleep so much; dreams are magical!
-
Softer than Clouds
Salem
What if the Boogeyman wakes up? Let’s put him into a sound sleep! I just wove a hanging swing for my owl Ibis; we can use it as a cradle. Can you help me hang it in the maze?
It looks great! We should assign the maze guardian to rock the Boogeyman’s cradle. But I can’t call him "the Boogeyman" now. Let’s call him "Boo!"
-
Terribly Cute
Somnia
The Boogeyman found us! Turn on the neuroconductor, pull the lever, and imagine a funny monster. Then touch the crystal and drink the milk. But we’ll also need some artifacts!
Gotcha, you rascal! Look at this cute Boogeyman! I can’t help smiling. We captured him! What a joy!
-
The Taste of Dreams
Somnia
We mustn’t get hurt fighting Boogie. For protection, we’ll make a drink that gives you the sense of security babies feel in their cradles. Can you help?
You made a delicious childhood drink! They give these to babies at bedtime. Did you know this is milk from the Milky Way?
-
A Pinch of Feelings
Salem
Let’s use as many good feelings as possible to drain Boogie of his strength. I’ll share with him my tenderness for Jack. We need to place it in the crystal Martha gave me. Can you help?
You’ve become a conductor between me and the crystal. Now, all my tenderness is in it. This will prevent the Boogeyman from having any evil intentions.
-
Mind Games
Jack
For the monster to become harmless, we need to clearly imagine a new, innocent form. There’s no room for error, so let’s use a constructor of fears. Can you find it?
Good job. I made this constructor for a Halloween game. I’ll replace some of the dice so we can make the Boogeyman’s new form adorable!
-
Fear Has Merry Eyes
Detective
We’ll catch this rogue! I know a trick from my past interrogations. Let’s confuse the Boogeyman and reconfigure the lever that locks the maze door.
It’s done! Martha says Halloween magic powers the lever, which is good for us. We’ll connect it to our biofield and switch our fears.
-
A Secret Weapon
Martha
We’ll deceive the Boogeyman by making him think we’re afraid of joy and laughter. Fear has low vibrations, and joy has high ones. We can reprogram them! Help me find the staff of distortion!
Good job finding the staff of distortion. With it, we’ll distort the vibrations responsible for our greatest fears, and joy will temporarily stay at low frequencies.
-
On Soft Feet
Jack
We have to find the mistress of dreams and evade the Boogeyman; he may be somewhere nearby. Martha will make us a cat balm so we can move silently. Let’s enhance it with some artifacts!
With the help of the cat balm, we made it to the heart of Somnia’s lands. She must be here! Call and tell her that Jack needs her help!
-
Old Sins
Jack
We still haven’t found Somnia, and the Slumbering Lands are in disarray. Has something happened? There are lockboxes from the archive cabinet scattered around... Find each one, quickly!
Great, you’ve found all of Somnia’s lockboxes with corrupted dreams. She kept them to study the Boogeyman’s tricks. Now we’ll learn more about them! But why was the archive scattered?
-
Bitter Reminders
Jack
When she’s not busy sowing dreams, Somnia dwells in the Slumbering Lands. We need to hurry; it’s already night, and she will soon leave. Look for the Slumbering Lands!
We’ve found the Slumbering Lands, a magical place between sleep and reality. Let’s explore!
-
Mist on the Horizon
Salem
Jack says Somnia is somewhere on the other side of the portal to the dream world. Do you see it? We have to tell her about the Boogeyman!
We found a portal to Dream Land! Don’t be afraid; there are no real dangers in the dream world. Do you see Somnia? I hope she can help. My strength has almost left me...
-
Fickle Matters
Martha
I used my magic to probe the dream matter. It’s too unreliable, so to search there for Somnia, you’ll need special shoes. Jack should have some. Help me find them!
Wonderful! Somnambulist shoes allow you to travel the ephemeral world of dreams. Put them on and search for Somnia; it feels like she’s somewhere nearby!
-
Journey of the Soul
Jack
Somnia can be contacted through a baby’s first dream. There have been no newborns in the City for a while, but once she gave me a box with a first dream as a keepsake. Find it!
Great! This is the box with the first dream we need! Somnia created her own dream world for everyone to visit in their sleep. We’ll find her there.
-
A Malicious Master Plan
Salem
How did the Boogeyman escape? I found a trap in the maze, unfamiliar to me and Jack. I’ve seen these in other parts of the City, too. I think this is the fugitive’s work. Let’s study it! Pass me some artifacts.
Thanks to you, we found out the trap is based on a loop of horror. Whoever gets into it will eventually cease to distinguish real life from fantasy.
-
A Monster on the Loose
Jack
The maze’s prisoner somehow found a way out. There are a thousand doors locked with a thousand locks. We have to examine them all to understand how the Boogeyman escaped.
You’re right; this prison lock has been broken, and there’s a clot of dark matter stuck in the keyhole. It looks familiar... It’s one of the Boogeyman’s nightmares! I fought the same one during his munity.
-
The Land of Monsters
Jack
I imprisoned Boogie when he challenged my dominion over Halloween by conspiring with some monsters. A candle of memory will shed light on these events. Find it!
Thank you for finding the candle. I put evidence of the Boogeyman’s mutiny inside. There’s a whole forest of them in the dream kingdom! They illuminate the nooks and crannies of lost memories.
-
Shadow of the Dark
Jack
The Boogeyman became dangerous, so I had to imprison him. Nightmares deprived people of sleep, and Somnia’s magic weakened. Poisoned sand will confirm my words. Find it.
You found the sleep sand that was once golden but turned to red. The plague of fear struck Somnia, too, and she could no longer create good dreams for people.
-
Rule of Fear
Jack
The dream will tell the story of how the Boogeyman became my prisoner. Once upon a time, he, Somnia, the mistress of dreams, and I, the Spirit of Halloween, lived in peace. But the villain sought to overthrow us. Find the orb of omnipotence!
You’ve found the orb of omnipotence, which symbolizes the Boogeyman’s power over human fears. He created this pumpkin to proclaim himself the King of Terror.
-
Chronicles of Dreams
Jack
How did the Boogeyman end up in my dungeon? Well, I’ll show you the past... Oh, no! I dropped a box of dream flowers that allows you to have waking dreams. Please find it!
You found the dream flowers! By inhaling their aroma, we’ll plunge into a waking dream and see the story of the Boogeyman. He’s not the story’s only character, either...
-
A Horrible Find
Detective
The victims’ evidence and the bestiary will help us determine who the mysterious monster is. Why don’t you collect some artifacts, buddy - they’ll help us tie the clues together.
The artifacts pointed to a bony hand we didn’t notice before. Its owner is a skeleton guard, just like the one at the dungeon’s entrance. A motley rag is clamped in its fingers; it looks like it’s from a prisoner’s uniform!
-
Suspicious and Incredible
Martha
A predatory chest, a serpent crown, a ghostly straitjacket... I’ve never heard of such things. Let’s look in Jack’s bestiary, a monster manual. Maybe it will help?
Jack himself created this relic. By reading it, you can learn about various monsters. There’s disturbing information here about a monster that can take on different forms. Maybe this is the one?
-
The Queen’s Fear
Salem
I was preparing for Halloween when I heard a rustle behind me. I turned around and noticed the edge of a white canvas, and then something ghostly pounced on me. Check it out, please!
Whoa! It’s not a ghost but a straitjacket. The thought of madness makes me tremble... What if I’m delusional and only imagined the City and Jack’s love?
-
A Journalist’s Bane
Adeline Svensson
Just like Jul said, a monster broke into our bedroom, but it looked like a notebook with glowing eyes. Its sharp pages bristled, and it rushed at me! Here it is!
Thank you for your help! I don’t have the courage to look at this monstrous notebook again on my own. It reminds me of the fear of a blank page when I’ve got writer’s block...
-
Poisoned with Fear
Juliette
I’ll describe the monster! Frightened by the news of the attack on Cardsharp, Adeline and I decided to spend the night together. But the monster attacked us! It consisted entirely of snakes and even dropped a crown. Here it is!
Have you studied the serpent crown the monster lost? These snakes wriggled around, trying to bite and poison us with their venom! Then my mind began to blur...
-
Cardsharp’s Worst Nightmare
Cardsharp
Cardsharp will describe the monster! I was walking home late when it jumped out from around the corner, baring its fangs and throwing something sharp at me. It’s still there; look for it!
What do you think of this predatory chest? It was throwing sharpened coins! What kind of monster uses these? It reminds me of the gambling debts of my youth...
-
Looking Fear in the Eyes
Detective
Our townspeople are horrified and sleep-deprived, an unknown monster is on the loose, and Jack seems to have vanished. Things aren’t looking good. I’ll get the file ready so I don’t forget anything.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
An Empty Dungeon
Detective
What’s out there that we haven’t faced? Let those shameless monsters be afraid of us! ...What are you waiting for, buddy? I don’t want to go into Jack’s castle dungeon alone!
The space inside the dungeon is distorted, as if it were a trap... But it’s completely empty! Are all the monsters hiding?
-
On the Verge of a Nightmare
Martha
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
A Critical Situation
Rayden Storke
I heard that Zaenti’s house is full of inventions. So if Wise wants to hurt someone, he’s got all the means... Let’s go around the building first and map out our escape routes.
Well, if there’s a back door in Zaenti’s house, we couldn’t find it among these crystals. The glitter even made my eyes hurt. Also, why do you think Zaenti built these hot-air balloons?
-
The Trap Has Sprung
Detective
We’ve collected every one of the oil vessels. When the culprit returns for them, we’ll make our move. Sh... someone’s coming! This slick criminal is moving too quietly. Lend me some artifacts so that we can catch our sneak in the act.
I couldn’t have held this slippery fellow without your artifacts, buddy. Let’s see who we got. Mr. Mayor?! You’ve been making sunscreen all this time? Of course, you’re free to go. Take the oils, too.
-
A Sweet Guess
Detective
I have a new theory: Our culprit slips into the salon at night to make oils out of different ingredients. I know; sounds weird. But let’s test it by taking a look at those delicious-looking raspberries over there.
These raspberries look ripe and tasty. You think there’s a raspberry drink in the carafe? I bet it’s oil. Aha, I guessed it - it’s raspberry-seed oil. It’ll come in handy for catching our culprit.
-
A Surprise Bag
Detective
I see another oil stain near that canvas bag. It looks too plain for this fancy salon, so I think the culprit left it here. What kind of scheme is this, anyway? Let’s see what’s in the bag.
As a coffee lover, I immediately recognized these as green beans. They don’t make for a great drink, but there seems to be one in this cup... Nope, it’s oil again. Who needs coffee-bean oil?
-
Some Colorful Bait
Detective
I have a theory that we’re dealing with a secret lover of rare plants. If that’s the case, we’d better set up an ambush near one. I think there was a branch with brightly-colored flowers nearby. Help me find it.
Great job. The flowers are bright - they should attract the culprit. Ah, it’s camellia. Jul loves it. Mmm... it smells so good, maybe that’s perfume in the bottle? Ugh, now I’ve got an oil stain! Why is oil everywhere?
-
A Memorable Fragrance
Detective
Do you smell that nice aroma? It’s like herbal tea. I don’t think someone would sneak into the salon under cover of darkness to make a cup of tea, but let’s test the theory.
This herbal tea has gone completely cold... Ugh, it’s oil. I’ve already seen the plant it’s made from. Right, patchouli! Jul once gave me a fragrant patchouli boutonniere.
-
A Special Treat
Detective
We should find whatever it is in the salon that caught the intruder’s interest, and then lurk nearby it to catch the sneak. Let me know if you find anything that looks unusual or valuable.
What kind of exotic fruit is that? I’ve never seen anything like it. You’re saying it’s called buriti? I don’t think the thief snuck in here to make buriti juice... Wait... it’s actually oil. Very strange.
-
A Wonderful Result
Roger Doubledeal
Bingo! I found a note written in the Mistress’s horrible handwriting that lists what was in the order. It looks like a potion recipe. The note was lying next to a tightly-sealed jar. Lend me some artifacts, and I’ll open it.
There’s cream in the jar! The artifacts highlighted this quality: "rejuvenating." But the cream itself hasn’t changed, so it’s not magical. Why would the Mistress need one of these? She seems to have a problem with her youth charms.
-
A Forbidden Component
Roger Doubledeal
There’s a rule that snake venom can only be sold to healers, but it’s rather old, and the order was so expensive... Anyway, snake venom was also delivered to the Beauty Salon. Look for it.
The snake venom is still here, so I guess no dark mage has used it for vile purposes. Unless they only needed a little bit. Don’t worry; we’ll figure out what all these ingredients are for.
-
A Fun Activity
Roger Doubledeal
Admittedly, my fancy-client theory doesn’t explain everything. For example, the salon ordered some snail slime, which is definitely not a treat. Have you seen a vial of snail slime around here?
Filling this vial wasn’t easy. Snails secrete the most slime when they giggle, so they had to tickle them. I can’t wait to find out what this ingredient is for.
-
Along the Milky Way
Roger Doubledeal
My guess is the salon has a client with rare taste whom they’re trying to please. They even ordered donkey milk to put in the client’s coffee. The carton should be around here somewhere. Look for it.
It’s donkey milk, all right, in the zoo’s signature packaging. It’s not enough for a bath, like Cleopatra famously took, so I think it was used in some other way. But how, exactly?
-
A Hot Topic
Roger Doubledeal
I know there was also some bee venom being delivered to the salon. Maybe the customer wanted honey for his tea but made a mistake? I hope no one was treated to it. Help me find the vessel of bee venom.
This vessel was opened, but not much bee venom was taken. I’ve heard healers use it to treat back pain, but there’s no service like this listed in the Beauty Salon. I’ve checked.
-
An Exotic Dish
Roger Doubledeal
I’ve heard the Beauty Salon offers free drinks and even desserts to its clients. Maybe they ordered edible bird nests as a treat. But I don’t see any on the tea table. Can you find one?
This is a swiftlet’s nest, which is edible. These taste peculiar and are very expensive. And the salon ordered several packages at once. Why would a salon offer such exotic food?
-
Striking a Balance
Isabelle
In order to banish the Disorder Anomaly, I’ve reproduced the same special scales Daebyeol-wang used to separate humans and spirits, as shown on an old drawing. Now I need to set them up, so please lend me some artifacts.
The bark powder stifled the noise, the bow and arrows removed the excessive heat and cold, and the special scales separated humans from those who belong in the spirit world. We’ve banished the anomaly and restored order!
-
Removing Celestial Bodies
Isabelle
I found a picture of the weapon Daebyeol-wang used against the Disorder Anomaly - it’s a bow-and-arrow set. The Huntress was sweet enough to make it. She did a great job, too; take a look.
The bow and arrows look just like the ancient engraving. Daebyeol-wang used them to knock out the extra sun and moon so that it wouldn’t be too hot during the day and too cold at night. I think the Huntress can do it, too.
-
Silence the Noise
Isabelle
So it was actually Daebyeol-wang who banished the Disorder Anomaly. After setting my devices to search for information about him, I found out that he made a powder out of pine bark. Can you find some?
Daebyeol-wang sprayed this dried pine bark powder across the world to squelch the unbearable noise. The animals and plants fell silent, and only humans have been able to speak ever since.
-
Belated Remorse
Isabelle
The world of the living was entrusted to Daebyeol-wang, but Sobyeol-wang took over instead, by deceiving his brother. So he was the one who had to deal with the havoc brought on by the Disorder Anomaly. How did he deal with it?
This is a vial of Sobyeol-wang’s tears, a sign of his remorse. He was unable to overcome the anomaly and tearfully begged his brother to help him. The kind Daebyeol-wang forgave him and rid the world of disorder.
-
A Sneaky Move
Isabelle
The ancient texts are vague: It’s unclear which of the brothers banished the original Disorder Anomaly. Wait a minute... They had a flower contest for the right to reign over the world of the living. Let’s find out who won.
The lotus grew in Daebyeol-wang’s silver pitcher, but its flower was broken off and put into Sobyeol-wang’s brass pitcher. He won by deception! But what’s important to us is how Sobyeol-wang brought order.
-
Deep in the Past
Isabelle
The Grand Disorder anomaly is so ancient that we’ll need the expertise of the sky god’s sons to banish it. One of them ejected it from the world of the living once, but which one? Let’s look for a clue.
The brothers Daebyeol-wang and Sobyeol-wang ascended to heaven on gourd sprouts. Their father entrusted one of them with the world of the dead while the other had to bring order to the world of the living. We need to learn who’s the latter.
-
It’s in the Hat
Martha
There’s a replica of the dokkaebi’s invisibility hat somewhere in the salon. It’s just what we need to hide the City from the witch. But first we have to find it. Use the artifacts for this.
Please accept my thanks. Only you could find the dokkaebi’s invisibility hat. I’ll use this magical item to strengthen the cloaking charms, and the evil witch won’t be able to find the City.
-
On the Lookout for Change
Martha
We learned how the beauty salon ended up in the City and helped our guest find so much goodness in herself that she was able to perform a miracle. Will she continue to do good deeds? I’m sure the dokkaebi will see to it.
-
A Sweet Moment
Martha
Jumi is close to her goal of reversing the spell so she can go back home. Her intentions have more and more good energy in them. Bring me some artifacts. I’ll concentrate this flow on the witch’s pin.
The hangwa sweets that Jumi and dokkaebi prepared for Yi-seul contained so many sincere wishes for good luck that the power of good filled the pin. A magical whirlwind swept up the building!
-
The Gift of Lightness
Jumi
I have to give a gift from the bottom of my heart to fill the pin with the power of good. I saw a beautiful City of Shadows butterfly and thought it would make a lovely souvenir. Can you help me catch it?
Thank you for catching the butterfly so cleverly! Now you’d better wash your hands. They say that if you touch a butterfly and then your eyes, you can go blind... Oh, you’re right, it’s not the most cheerful gift.
-
A Sea Treat
Jumi
Yi-seul’s birthday is coming up, and to mark the occasion, I made a delicious seaweed soup, a traditional dish. But where did the pot of soup go?
So the dokkaebi was hiding the soup? But why?\n Wait, I know: It’s believed that the seaweed in this soup can make knowledge slip out of your head, and Yi-seul will soon take an exam for a massage-expert certificate.
-
The Long-Awaited Rest
Jumi
Here’s a gift that will fill the witch’s pin with the power of good: a set of bath bombs to make Yi-seul relax after work. But the fragrant gift is changing... Can you see it?
There were three bath bombs in the gift, and now there are four - an unlucky number. Dokkaebi’s tricks! But the spirit is right. I’m not really sincere. All I can think about is going back home.
-
A Feather Step
Jumi
Why not give Yi-seul some comfortable shoes? She’s on her feet all day long. Look at this pair of soft ones I made for her. I’ll give them to her as soon as I get back.
These are nice shoes, aren’t they? They’ll make Yi-seul’s feet less sore. Oh, I didn’t realize that this gift conveys a dark hint - "Get out of my life." I’ll offer something else.
-
A Red Mark
Jumi
To get back home, I need to fill the pin with positive energy. I had wished Yi-seul harm, but now I’ve written her a note of apology and wish her good luck. I lost it somewhere, though. Can you help me find it?
Thank you; it’s the same note, but the letters are red now. They say if you write a person’s name in red ink, an evil spirit will come after them. But I wrote it in black ink...
-
In a Vortex of Energies
Martha
We found out what was really going on in the salon before it moved to the City. But why did it end up here? We’re going to need some charged artifacts to find out.
The City’s magic showed me the exact moment the salon was moved. Oh, what a powerful burst of magic! The witch’s spell was destroyed, and it was Jumi’s energy that did it. A true magical cataclysm!
-
The Loss of Strength
Jumi
To become as successful as Yi-seul, the client gave me a pin and told me to place it on the masseuse’s clothes. So I did. Yi-seul turned pale, and the flowers in the salon began to wither.... Take a look.
When the flowers withered, Yi-seul refused a client for the first time, saying she had no energy at all. I got her client instead, so I was happy and tried not to think about how I’d hurt my colleague.
-
A Costly Trust
Jumi
After the dirty towel trick, one of Yi-seul’s clients did sign up. She praised my massage and gave me an unusual coin. Now, where did I put it? Help me find it.
Thank you for finding my coin. The client I got it from was so understanding! I told her all my secrets. The coin is enchanted to make you trust your listener? I got played, then.
-
A Dirty Trick
Jumi
I wanted to become a hairstylist, but trying to copy Yi-seul’s success, I started to learn massage. I tried hard, but the customers kept going to her instead. Then I planted a stained towel on Yi-seul. Look for it.
I deliberately stained this towel and placed it among the clean ones that Yi-seul used. I thought it would make customers uncomfortable, and they would come to me instead of her.
-
A Profitable Investment
Jumi
Yi-seul was no angel, either: She was polite to her clients, but she was only interested in money. You should have seen her face when she put all that dough in her heart-shaped money box! Look for it; it’s around here somewhere.
That’s right; it’s Yi-seul’s money box. She chose the heart-shaped one because money is her love. She does a great job with facial massages, and she’s trying to improve her technique, apparently to get paid even more.
-
Someone Else’s Success
Jumi
Wait, I’ll tell you everything myself. Oh, first a witch, now a dokkaebi! I just wanted to be successful like Yi-seul. She had countless clients. Check the schedule.
See, Yi-seul had her whole day booked. She made more money than I could ever dream of. I worked from dawn till dusk, too! I confess - I was very jealous of her success....

A Wizard with a Club
Martha
We’ve collected items that look like traces of magical creatures. Which one of them inhabits the salon? I’ll uncover what’s hidden when I peer into the essence of these things. Lend me some artifacts.
The power of the artifacts is swirling the items you found into a glowing circle. I see a silhouette in its center. It looks fuzzy, but I’m sure that the creature is holding a magic club.

A Suspicious Accessory
Valerie
Since we don’t know what kind of spirit inhabits the salon or what its traces look like, we need to look for something unusual. What do you find odd about the salon? I think that red belt is rather strange; take a look.
Wow, that’s a strong belt! Even Jumi doesn’t know where it came from. She says it’s the kind of belt you wear to compete in a ssireum wrestling match. Who would wrestle in a beauty salon?
-
A Ghostly Shell
Martha
The magical creature living in the salon isn’t necessarily friendly. If it’s an evil wongwi spirit, it could attack. I’ll weave a protective spell, and you look around for any signs of a wongwi.
Oh, you found the spirit garment... Though Jumi says it looks exactly like the cape that protects the clothes of salon visitors during beauty treatments. But she doesn’t look sure about anything anymore.
-
An Unusual Lion
Valerie
What if there’s a haechi spirit living in the salon? I’ve read that it looks like a lion covered in scales. I doubt haechi can write, even by magic, but finding a water lion’s scales would be cool.
The scales you found are so beautiful, with those aquatic motifs! Jumi assures me they’re just fake nails, though. But she didn’t know anything about the spirit in the salon, so she may be wrong here, too.
-
An Iron Appetite
Valerie
Martha says there might be a pulgasari demon living here that feeds on metal. It doesn’t feed on humans, so we shouldn’t be afraid. There was a piece of bitten-off metal nearby. Can you help me find it?
If you look closely, this metal fragment is a fancy-shaped spoon used to get the cream out of the jar easier. But it could have been made by a demon, right? I’ll show Martha what I found.
-
Fox Jewelry
Martha
We need to find out what kind of magical creature we’re dealing with. I think I saw a red tail in the corner of the salon. Let’s carefully see if it belongs to a nine-tailed kumiho fox, as I suspect.
Such a luxurious tail would surely please a kumiho. Jumi assures me that it’s used as a hair decoration, but the strands glow as if from contact with a mystical creature.
-
A Shadow Pointer
Martha
I’ll carefully check to see if there are any charms in the items we’ve collected: the rings, embroidered apron, books, toy, and the pouch. I’ll use artifacts to make sure there’s no mistake. Can you lend me some?
In the artifacts’ light, the items from the salon cast shadows that stretch toward Jumi. The shadows converge, pointing at a mysterious pin embedded in her clothes.
-
A Masseuse’s Treasure
Martha
Jumi says her coworker also had some sort of magical pouch. Many witches store their potions in special pouches. Help me find the pouch; we need to examine it.
You found the same pouch Jumi was talking about. Yet it doesn’t contain potions, but a remedy for strengthening your fingers. Makes sense for a masseuse although charms require finger dexterity, too.
-
A Magical Helper
Jumi
Yi-seul also had a magical helper! That’s what she called her tiger figurine. It looks like a toy, but we’d better check it out, right? She kept the talisman near her workstation. Please find it.
Thank you for finding Yi-seul’s toy talisman. I don’t know much about sorcery, but this wooden tiger could be her witch’s spirit helper. Let Martha figure it out.
-
Interesting Reading
Martha
Jumi remembered that Yi-seul, a very successful coworker, often reads ancient books. If she used magic, those could be witchcraft folios. Let’s see what kind of books these are.
These books are indeed ancient folios, but they contain descriptions of massage techniques from masters of the past, not spells. There might be concealed magical writings, though, so I’ll doublecheck.
-
A Flower Mark
Jumi
Yi-seul always stands out; is that the sign of a sorceress? She embroidered her work apron to make it different from everyone else’s. Is there a secret meaning to the embroidery? Please find it and let Martha have a look.
You found the right embroidered apron. All the salon employees wear those, and I do, too, but Yi-seul embroidered a hibiscus flower on hers. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a witch’s mark in it.
-
Meaningful Jewelry
Jumi
If we look closely, we might find that Yi-seul could very well be a witch. She wears antique rings and only takes them off when she’s working. Let’s find the rings and see if they’re magical.
That’s right, those are Yi-seul’s rings. She said these simple rings were very dear to her. Allegedly, they were given to Yi-seul by her grandmother, but I think they may be related to witchcraft.
-
A Fog Crystal
Martha
I admit it - the beauty ritual does work without magic... But what’s that? Jumi’s pointing a fog-emitting crystal at Valerie. Quick, give me the artifacts; we have to protect her!
The artifacts are glowing, but the crystal continues to emit fog. Jumi says it’s a skin-moisturizing device. It makes steam out of water and aromatic oils. True, it does smell nice.
-
A Fabulous Transformation
Martha
Something is amiss: Jumi doesn’t weave magic, but there are echoes of it in the salon. She needs a royal makeup kit to complete her beauty ritual. Find it and bring it to me, please.
Thank you for finding the royal makeup kit. It’s not magical, but Jumi is so skillful with it that it almost works wonders. She’s transformed Valerie drastically.
-
Power of the Lotus
Jumi
See, the beauty ritual is yielding its first results, even though there’s no magic involved. Now I’m going to put some youth serum on Valerie’s face, which isn’t a magic potion at all. Here, check it out.
Martha admitted that there wasn’t any magic in the serum, only an extract of lotus and other flowers. She whispered over the bottle, and now it’s shimmering. I hope that didn’t make the cosmetics go bad!
-
Cold to the Touch
Martha
I can feel the chilling magic! Ah, but it’s just... cold. It’s coming from some suspicious spheres that could be magic wands. Let’s take a look before giving them back to Jumi.
The cold spheres turned out to be facial massagers. I watched Jumi skillfully use them to massage Valerie, but try as I might, I couldn’t see any magic.
-
The Glowing Depths
Martha
Traces of magic are scattered throughout the salon, which makes it difficult to determine their source. The trainee said she’d need some pearl powder. Isn’t that a magical ingredient? Let’s find the powder.
Thank you for finding this unusual vessel containing pearl powder. Although it made Valerie’s skin look brighter, there’s definitely no magic in it. Jumi called it a scrub.
-
Clean Work
Jumi
I can’t believe I’m being accused of witchcraft! I’ll have to prove that I don’t use magic in my work. Oh, I can’t think straight. Where are the soft washcloths?
Thank you so much for finding these soft washcloths. They’re made from the plant rhizomes and contain absolutely no magic. But they are good for cleansing the skin, which is the first step of any beauty ritual.

A Magical Riddle
Martha
A beauty salon shrouded in enchantment has appeared in the City. What secret lies within its walls? I’ll find out what kind of mage caused this, and I’ll write down the most important things I learn in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.

The House of Charm
Valerie
A beauty salon in the City of Shadows! I haven’t had a manicure in ages, and I could definitely use a haircut. Do you think we can get an appointment? I’m looking forward to this!
Wow, it’s so beautiful and flowery in here! I don’t feel any magic, but the place definitely smells nice. The photos on the walls are really stylish, too... Okay, I’ve already picked my new hairstyle.
