Cearch the Past
Cardsharp
Did you open the City Dungeons doors? I've leaned that the City's Exploration Chest is there, with the artifacts that can change the City's rules. I've found it, but it's locked and there's no key. Maybe old records will tell us where it may be?
You found a piece of a newspaper? It's at least a hundred years old and has almost completely faded. I'll try to read it but I need to find my golden pince-nez.

Valuable Cargo
Isabelle
Well, here's what I managed to find out. Vasco Da Gama attacked the ship and robbed it, as well as killed the crew. The ghosts asy that a Golden Kiwano, which was being brought as a present for the Sultan, was among the things stolen. If you manage to find another one, they'll tell us where to find the ghost of Vasco Da Gama. However, I have no idea what the Golden Kiwano looks like - I've never seen anything like that. So, will you take part in the search?
So this is the Golden Kiwano? We always called it a golden horned melon. It's a valuable item. I'll tell the ghosts that our search has been a success.
-
Companion
Cardsharp
I'm not overly keen about third parties joining us, my friend. Nobody lieks to share a secret, not to mention a profit... But do what you want. Maybe the Huntress will prove to be useful since she knows something about the diggers.
Oh mein Gott, I knew the diggers reappeared for a reason. The treasures from their cache sound very tempting, but with the Cardsharp on board as well... Hmm. I need to think about this.
-
Hurrying to Help
Detective
Mike Stone lived up to his name and turned into real stone. But I still feel sorry for the poor guy. Although, on the other hand, Juliette is safe now. I think it's time to head back to the hall and see if we can bring everyone back to life!
No dice! We can't help them. I tried to smash the Gorgon's head, but it's protected by strong magic, invulnerable to weapons!
-
A Glass Tear
Detective
What should I believe? My eyes, or the iron logic of a detective? Are these living people or just statues that seem alive? Look! Something flashed next to one of them and fell onto the floor.
Just look at that. It's a tear! But it's made of glass! What magic is happeneing in thie place? Martha has to help us this time!
-
Victory Seal
Detective
I don't feel so good! The gorgon's cruel gaze is penetrating right through me, and I can't move! Soon I'll be the newest addition to the Enchanged Hall's secret collection. Save yourself! Protect yourself with the gleaming seal!
Did you see? The gorgon closed her eyes as soon as you used the gleaming seal! It looks like you made the right choise, buddy.
-
An Evil Phenomenon
Detective
We're finally at this dammed ball! Look... the champagne is still sparkling in the glasses but there's not a single person here - just statues. It looks like all the guests disappeared a second ago. We need to throughtly investigate what happened here.
What's this? I can't believe it... That's not a chandelier, it's a gorgon's head! These ghosts definitely have a sense of humour. A gorgon appeared in the hall! It must be the eveil Martha was so afraid of!
-
Visiting the Ball
Detective
The portal is open, and now we can get into the ghostly ball. But this is a one-way ticket if ever I saw one! If our heartbeats end with the chime of the clokc, then how can we go through the portal and remain alive? Maybe we could use the Beating Heart potion. Juliette said someone brought it as a gift for the Mistress.
To your health, buddy!
-
Getting to the Ball
Detective
You hear that? It's almost midnight, and the sounds of music and the clatter of wheels are coming from the Manor. It seems Juliette was right - it really is happeneing. Now I just have to untangle this story, even if I have to take the whole Manor to pieces to do it! Let's use the Master's and Dr. Frankenstein's invites to pay the ball a visit.
I'll remember this outing for a long time. I haven't been this afraid for years! But it seems as though nothing has changed in the Mysterious Hall! The figures are still motionless, everything is still covered in dust and cobwebs, but I hear the sound of voices and footsteps! What can we do?
-
Hidden Passage
Angelique
The woman in the mask and cloak turned into a dead end t the edge of the fog. She stopped in front of the blockage obstructing the path, took out some object from her pocket, and then seemed to melt into the stones. I saw a similar object - it's a direction scanner, find it.
The woman in the mask and cloak used such a direction scanner to find a passage through the blockage, which was invisible to the eye. It took me a while, but I found the passage without this instrument and ended up in an unfamiliar place.
-
Firm Steps
Angelique
I did not approach the woman in the mask and cloak, but I oculd clearly see where was going. Her steps ignited sparks from the pavement. I suppose her shoes had special heeltaps, like Kira Woodville's. Kira should have a store of such heeltaps, look around.
A good heeltap not only allows a shoe to last longer, but also turns it into a means of self-defense, says Kira. I don't know whether the woman in the mask and cloak used the heeltaps for this purpose, but she walked very decisively.
-
Protected by the Crystals
Angelique
The woman did carry something luminous. And she turned into an alley full of the fog without putting on a breathing apparatus. It was dangerous; she might have needed help. This was evidenced by the readings of the fog activity indicator. Find it.
This is Carlos Light's fog activity indicator. He asked me to take measurements in different parts of the City. The fog activity in the alley where the woman went was high, but she did not stop. This means she must have been protected by anti-fog crystals.
-
Light in the Darkness
Mr. Black
The woman in the mask and cloak could've been carrying a similar illuminated bag. It was late, and it's quite difficult to hide luminous crystals in the dark. Did Angelique see them?
-
Treacherous Gift
Agvid Hanson
For my hospitality, the monk gave me some rock crystals. When I took them, I felt the spring warmth energy leaving my heart. It was flowing away into the monk's magic box! I instantly threw the rock crystals away - somewhere over there, I think. Let's look for them!
The monk who gave me these rock crystals turned out to be a troll. With them, he pulled the warm energy out of my heart and into his box. All in order to disrupt the arrival of spring.
-
Mysterious Traveler
Agvid Hanson
I assure you, I haven't done anything wrong. I was tricked! The day before the arrival of spring, a wandering monk asked me to let him stay overnight. He collapsed wearily into an armchair, hiding his face in his hood, and threw his belt book in the corner. Look around, it must still be here!
You found that wanderer's old belt book! I immediately remembered it because of the leather "tail" with which it was tied to the monk's belt. Before meeting him, I'd never seen such books. Have you?
-
Incredible Power
Doorkeeper
Have you heard that Martha's getting ready for a complex ritual? She's making some kind of potion right now. All in order to destroy the stone shell of the box, which attracted the Drydad Key. She asked me to get a dandelion root for the potion, help me find it.
It's great that you noticed the flower between those large stones. It's incredible - how did this little dandelion sprout destroy such a hard rock? I think Martha will apply its ability to destroy stone in her ritual.
-
Ancient Embroidery
Martha
The stone enveloping the box is the same stone that covered the troll due to the sun. This material is woven from negative energy. During the ritual, I will destroy it with a shisha pendant. Can you find it for me?
You don't really think I sent you for a simple mirror with colored patterns, do you? Shisha is an ancient Indian embroidery technique. The bright threads around this mirror symbolize the rays that will destroy the negative energy around the petrified box.
-
Flowers for the Spirits
Doorkeeper
As soon as Martha's magic destroys the box's stone shell, I'll open it with the Dryad Key, releasing the spring energy within. During the ritual, Martha will turn to the spirits. For this, she'll need an offering bowl. Let's find a suitable one!
I can see you know your offering bowls! Thank you for finding a suitable one so quickly. You've put flowers in it too! Is this in order to appease the spirits and help Martha to perform her ritual successfully?
-
Depths of the Subconscious
Doorkeeper
The Dryad Key was drawn to the troll box and now it won't budge. The key clearly wants us to open it. But its lock is covered in stone. Martha asked me to find a magic candle for the stone shell destruction ritual. Could you help me find the right one?
You have the magic candle, thanks for the help! Martha says that this candle's smoke helps her plunge into the depths of the subconscious. There she'll find clues that will help us perform the ritual successfully and remove the troll box from its stone shackles.
-
Space for Concentration
Martha
I will try to destroy the stone shackles that prevent the Dryad Key from opening this box's lock and releasing the spring energy. Help me prepare everything I need. First, find me a crystal mandala!
This crystal mandala will help me create the right magical space in which to concentrate my power and destroy the troll box's stone shell. This way, the key that was pulled to it will be able to open the lock freely.
-
Talking to the Air
Angelique
I will report everything I know about the woman in the mask and cloak, as well as her route. I followed her because she called to me. Or rather, I though she did, but I quickly realized that the woman was talking on an intercom. Carlos Light had a similar one, look around.
-
Water Spirit
Doorkeeper
I recall the spirits telling me that Agvid had a kelpie figurine. It's a water spirit that lives in rivers and lakes. Kelpies appear before travelers in the guise of a horse and lure them into the water. Let's find the figurine together!
You found the kelpie water spirit figurine. The Maiden of Spring told me that Agvid took the figurine with him as a talisman before he set sail. He believed that the kelpie helped him survive the shipwreck. It's surprising, considering that usually these spirits are hostile to people.
-
Accessory from Afar
Doorkeeper
The Dryad Key needs a lot of spring energy to open the gate to the Forest of Spirits. I hope there's enough of it in the previous gatekeeper's Agvid had a brooch in the from of a Viking ship. I wish I could find it! Will you help?
Great, you have the Viking ship brooch! The Maiden of Spring said that Agvid greatly appreciated this thing. He found it among the shipwrecks that were washed ashore. It was then that he came up with the idea to build a ship out of the wreckage and sail for warmer lands.
-
Dreams of Warmth
Doorkeeper
The nature spirits gave us a clue that Agvid's belongings store the spring energy we need to supplement the Drayd Key. The Maiden of Spring said that Agvid treasured a wooden flower, which he carved himself. If the flower is here somewhere, we'll definitely find it!
Thank you for finding this wooden flower. Do you feel the warmth coming from it? Surely it has the energy necessary for the Drayd Key. According to the Maiden of Spring, Agvid carved this flower as a child, dreaming of running away from the cold to someplace warm.
-
Natural Insulation
Doorkeeper
I've been told that Agvid used to grow Iceland moss. Maybe you could help me find some? I'm not sure if, over the years of its caretaker's absence, the moss has survived, but in order to fill the Dryad Key with spring energy, we should look for this plant carefully.
Wow, you managed to notice the Iceland moss in the most remote and wet nook of the terrace! I didn't even notice it growing there between the tiles. It was probably Agvid who insulated the roof with it, as they did in the frosty lands where he was born.
-
Harsh Land
Dooekeeper
I hope the former gatekeeper's belongings still store the spring warmth energy that the Dryad Key desperately needs. The former gatekeeper's name was Agvid Hanson. I was told that he always carried a fire-starting kit with him. Let's try to find it!
You managed to find the fire-starting kit that belonged to Agvid. He used to live in the northernmost part of Norway, where it's cold even in spring. With this kit, he could start a fire and get warm. Once in the City, he carried the kit with him out of habit.
-
Helish Machine
Fabien Delamode
The guest was so insitent in her effort to see Angelique that I was losing my temper. I politely explained Angelique isn't in the Atelier, but the lady didn't believe me and started some device to find her. This hellish machine - a mechanical scorpion - is still here, look around.
This mechanical scorpion is the Puppeteer's invention, which he used to turn off complex mechanisms. I got scared for Angelique and kicked the scorpion, which broke it. Ooh la la, I denifitely wasn't going to make deals with such a strange guest!
-
Delicate Matter
Fabien Delamode
It's a delicate matter. The visitor knew all about angelique. She calimed that she'd recently seen the Puppeteer, and even got a special tools for fixing animated mannequins from him. She gave it to me. Take a look at this repair multi-tool.
I've actually seen such a repair multi-tool in the Puppeteer's workshop. I thought that perhaps this lady was indeed the Architect and met with other members of the Order of the Five? I have no evidence to the contrary.
-
Serious Device
Mr. Black
I don't see evidence of Mr. Delamode's innocence yet. Did the guest send him regards from the lamplighter, by any chance? Because I noticed a serious device among all this hiny garbage in the Atelier - a crystal starter. Bring it.
I wasn't mistaken - this really is a crystal starter used by the lamplighers. Delamode insists that the visitor brought it as well. Such devices don't grow on trees though. Where did she get it from?
-
Sharp Hint
Fabien Delamode
The visitor said that the scavengers want anti-fog suits. As a deposit, she didn't offer coin but a fabric cutter. I refused, but she left it at the atelier anyway. Find the cutter, but be careful - it's very sharp.
This is the cutter I was talking about. It's a scavengers' thing - the blade is made of a special alloy, so it doesn't lose its sharpness, even if you cut a lot of dense fabric with it. According to the lady, this was required for tailoring the anti-fog suits.
-
Sign of Privilege
Fabien Delamode
Ooh la la, Monsieur Black, I've got mixed up in this missing crystals matter, but I will certainly find you evidence of my innocence! The visitor didn't give me any coin but brought me gifts. For example, a Cabaret club bracelet. It's around here somewhere, find it.
This Cabaret club bracelet offers you some privileges, such as the right to have a talk with Mademoiselle Haze after her performance. But along with the bracelet, the lady sent me greetings from Monsieur Avocado, which sounded more like blackmail.
-
Misleading Shine
Kira Woodville
Mr. Black asked me to find out something to supplement Sophia's dossier. He noticed gemstones on her couture dress. The rubies are similar to ones stolen during a famous jeweler robbery. Help me find the dress!
We found the couture dress belonging to Sophia! One gemstone fell from it and I accidentally stepped on it. It crumbled under my boot, which means these rubies are fake.
-
Long Cruise
Rayden Storke
Mr. Black has started quite a through study of Sophia's past. He learned that she once spent a whole year on a ship. She still has a mirror from the cruise liner. Come on, I'll show you where it is!
On the mirror from the liner you found, there's an engraving: "Special order for the singer's cabin." It turns out that Sophia was performing on the cruise ship.
-
Musical Connection
Mr. Black
Sophia's dossier still needs to be supplemented. I made inquiries and found out that the singer has an instrument similar to the guitar of a jazzman, who was involved in several crimes. Inspect the instrument for authenticity!
Keep it up, you have the jazzman's guitar! See, the musician's inscription is on the back: "To Sophia - the talented vocalist of our band." Do you think they were connected by more than music?
-
Starting Up a Star's Path
Kira Woodville
The Cabaret's singer prefers to keep her past a secret. When Black ws compiling a dossier on her, he found Sophia's photograph taken at a casino. Was she gambling there? Let's find a concert hat made in the style of playing cards. I noticed it in the old photo.
Well done, you found the concert hat! The accessory turned out to be part of the concert costume young Sophia wore when performing in the casino at the beginning of her career.
-
Unfinished Song
Rayden Storke
What if the musician is sad because he couldn't protect the singer and the bullet still wounded her? Let's look around - sometimes , when other musicians accompany her, Sophia performs with a musical score. Maybe evidence still exists from that concert? Let's look for it.
I hoped, right up to the last minute, that I'd be wrong, but the score you found has blood all over it. It looks like the bullet did hit someone!
-
Self-Sacrifice
Sophia
Dearie, the saxophonist romthe projection had a sad, yet in-love kind of expression. Maybe he was performing with a singer? Let's try to find some accessory, for example, aconcert headband - it was very fashionable!
Sugar, I put on the concert headband you found and sang again. You won't believe it... The Collector's microphone showed the saxophonist, and then - bang! - a shot rang out, and the musician shielded me with his body.
-
Real Evidence
Mr. Black
I was informed that Sophia found a song that caused a projection to appear, and it was of a musician who tried to stop a bullet with his saxophone. Although the murder attempt was committed a long time ago, I'm sure that the used bullet cases are still here somewhere! Follow me, I know where to look for them!
Great job! The used bullet cases you found have their bullet caliber indicated on them. Let's compare it with the hole in the saxophone. The diameter is the same. Hmm, did he get in somebody's way?
-
Crime Against Music
Rayden Storke
The musician from the projection had a winged saxophone. Sophia recalled that she'd once found the same one, but the instrument was terribly out of tune, so she threw it away. Let's try to find the sax: I'm sure it will reveal the details of the sad musician's story!
Yes, such a winged saxophone is one in a million. Although I'm not a musician, it seems to me that there's a bullet hole in it. Maybe this is why the instrument is out of tune.
-
Visit with a Concert
Sophia
The saxophonist projection created by the Collector's microphone was very downcast, as if he had experienced something terrible. Let's look among the old posters - maybe he once performed in the City and there's still his concert poster somewhere?
Dearie, the concert poster you found announces that a certain famous saxophonist did come to the City as part of his tour.
-
Millions of Records
Sophia
Sugar, when my songs were praised around the world, I lacked the opinion of my most important listener - my father. When I received the Golden Octave... But where is it? Help me find it in one of these suitcases!
Thank you, you found my Golden Octave! Without you, I would've been sorting through my baggage forever. I got this award for selling millions of records.
-
A Repentant Letter
Mayor
The Puppeteer burned down his studio and skipped town. No one knew why or for what reason. That same day I got a package from him. It's somewhere in the yard, please be so kind as to bring it to me.
The package contained a book with a mechanical covering. Inside were the Puppeteer's notes on his attempts to create a living doll and his idea of animating it using Sarah's own desires. He repented and confessed that my daughter's soul is now in the doll's body.
-
Burn Everything
Martha
While investigating the disappearance of the Mayor's daughter, we found out that something terrible happened. The Crystal of Desires transferred Sarah's soul into the doll. How did the Puppeteer plan to fix things? Let's have a look through the yard, I'm sure we'll find the key there.
Give that sinister thing here. My inner gaze is seeing dolls on fire! It looks like Sarah's doll was just the first - the Puppeteer made other toys and also put shards of the crystal inside them so that they could make children's wishes come true. But he knew how dangerous a wish and its consequences could be. In order to avoid any more tragedies, he tried to burn them all in his studio!
-
Dreams Come True
Detective
The Mayor's daughter disappeared after she was given a doll that granted wishes. The craftsman who crated it was shaken to the core and hid away from everyone in his studio. Why? What was he researching? I bet we'll find the answers near his house in the Yard of Forgotten Toys.
You found the remains of the complex device. Nearby was a note: "The doll granted Sarah's wish and came alive, but the crystal couldn't create a soul to implanat in the doll. Instead, it took Sarah's soul. It's terrible! My doll is the reason behind this tragedy! I need to fix this!"
-
Shut Off From the World
Martha
I remember that after the Mayor's daughter disappeared, everyone in the City got really worked up. The Puppeteer shut himself off from the world and stayed locked away in his studio. Thanks to a Crafty Lock, no one could get inside. You don't believe me? Find the lock and see for yourself.
You see how complicated this lock is? The Puppeteer obviously didn't want to be bothered. But why? What was he doing behind closed doors?
-
A Missing Girl
Mayor
The morning after her birthday my little girl disappeared. All I found in her room was the doll. It even felt like she was looking at me, but that was probably just from the grief. I looked for my Sarah everywhere, turned the City inside out and posted missing person signs. One of them is still hanging on the tree in the yard. Bring it to me.
Yes of course, that's my missing person sign for Sarah. I offered up a huge reward fo any information on her, but it was all in vain.
-
Above Them All
Sophia
I received the fllowing awards without any excitement, because I was sad my father had remained silent about my success. Did I mention receiving the Starry Award? Let's unpack another one of my suitcases, I'll show it to you!
Dearie, congratulations on your debut, as you're the first person in the City to see my Starry Award! I was awarded this figurine for the most rapid career takeoff.
-
The Birth of a Star
Sophia
I wrote to father about my awards, but there wasn't a single line of praise in his letters. I thought that the rewards weren't good enough and went on winning new ones. Look for my lyre figurine, there's something special connected to it!
Sugar, be careful not to drop the lyre figurine, it's very valuable! I got it for the main role in a musical, after the premiere I woke up a star.
-
Award for Sadness
Sophia
My suitcases full of awards are my whole life. I with I'd had time to show them to father. I needed his praise so much, an I transferred this sadness into my music. I don't remember in which suitcase I put the Golden Neck, help me find it!
Dearie, have I told you that this Golden Neck was awarded for the best instrumental composition of my former jazz quarter? Ah, we captivated music critics with the first notes!
-
A Cappella about the Past
Sophia
When I decided to become a singer, my father said that, when gaining popularity, many lose themselves in applause and adoration. He believed only his prayers, not that I would be able to handle fame. But I didn't back down and soon received my first award. Let's find the First Voice figurine in one of my suitcases!
Dearie, we've found my First Voice figurine! It's been a long time since I've taken it out of my suitcase. I got it for the best a cappella performance of an original song.
-
Familiar Emblem
Sophia
Dearie, I'm sure that the notes in the bouquets are left for me by someone whose feelings I didn't reciprocate. Oh, what if he wants to take revenge on me? Curiosity is my enemy. Please let's go together and look for the silk roses mentioned in the next note!
Sugar, thank you for finding these silk roses! It's good that the surprise gift turned out to be harmless. But why is there a Security Service emblem on the box of lowers?
-
Unrequited Feeling
Carlos Light
Having received a surprise gift with a trick, Sophia is now suspicious of any anonymous gifts. Her secret admirer puts a note with a hint in each bouquet. Let's help Sophia find a bouquet of dried flowers. It was hidden somewhere by the gift giver.
Great job, we found the bouquet of dried flowers! In the enclosed card, the admirer wrote that Sophia's feelings for him were always as dry as these flowers.
-
Expensive Gift
Sophia
Dearie, I'm afraid that behind all of these flowers and notes lies some kind of catch. Another note from the secret admirer says to find a precious bouquet. Is it really made of jewels? Quickly, let's go find them!
Sugar, thank you for finding my bouquet! It was very cunningly hidden. I can't believe that my secret admirer decorated these flowers with real jewelry.
-
Bouquet of Memories
Carlos Light
Someone prepared a surprise for Sophia, but she's afraid this might be more villainy by an ill-wisher. The note from the secret admirer spoke of flowers symbolizing memory. I think it's about poppies. Help me find some!
Thank you for helping me find this bouquet of poppies. Maybe for the giver, they symbolize the memory of the past that connects him with Sophia? Who knows...?
-
Flowers Instead of Words
Sophia
Dearie, there's a line in the anonymous giver's note that seems to explain what to look for. Listen: "I didn't know what to write on the paper, so I made flowers out of it..." It's about paper flowers, right? If we follow the instructions in the note, we'll quickly find this bouquet!
Sugar, you found the paper flowers. It seems there's nothing dangerous about them. Oh, and there's a note inside too. The surprises don't really end with this bouquet, do they?
-
Unpleasant Detail
Fabien Delamode
Another detail of the guest's image was an unusual embellishment on her hand. At first I thought that her fingers were adorned with rings, but then I realized that it was a weapon! I have the same elegant brass knuckles among the Atelier's curiosities, find them.
Ooh la la, I never thought I'd see such brass knuckles - regardless how elegant - on a lady's hand! I tried to have a quick talk with her, offered her a drink, but, frankly speaking, this unexpected visit disconcerted me and was very unpleasant.
-
Scent of Discord
Fabien Delamode
The lady insisted that I sew the anti-fog suits for the scavengers. I was amazed that she was with those ragamuffins! This didn't fit in with her elegant image and exquisite perfume. You'll get an idea of her perfume if you find a freesia bouquet.
This lovely freesia bouquet exudes almost the same aroma as the visitor's perfume - floral, light, and feminine. I can't help but note that it contrasted the lady's rather harsh way of talking.
-
Crystal Inspiration
Fabien Delamode
Monsieur Black is right: the lady had crystals with her. Perhaps the very ones you're looking for. They looked great in her minimalistic bag. I even made a new accessory - a pouch handbag with gemrocks. Bring it, it's around here somewhere.
Isn't this a great combination - a simple fabric pouch handbag with the shine of gemrocks? I have several orders already... Ooh la la, Monsieur Black, I never touched the crystals brought here by the lady, I swear! I don't need any trouble!
-
Taking up the Glove
Fabien Delamode
I emphasize that the visit wasn't planned. There was no collusion! The lady simply rang the bell and, when I went out to her, she shook my hand firmly. She was wearing glovelettes - almost the same as in my spring collection, look in the shop window.
Glovelettes favorably highlight the grace of a woman's hands. Although, I must say, the visitor's handshake was very firm - I immediately knew that she wasn't some pampered girl.
-
Exquisite Adornment
Fabien Delamode
you see, the lady asked me not to talk about her visit, and I tried... But Monsieur Black is so insistent that there's no way around i - I will tell you the distinguishing features of my guest. This lady has delicate taste: I noticed that she wore ear cuffs. There are similar ones in the Atelier, look around for one.
Bravo, you found the most elegant ear cuff from the Atelier's assortment! Extraordinary women choose such jewelry, and that visitor was clearly one of them.
-
Furry Pet
Doorkeeper
It's good that the spirits told us how to return energy to the destroyed key. In the garden, a rabbit lives in a cozy enclosure. I found it with a damaged ear and have been treating it with natural ointments. could you hold the rabbit during the last procedure? We'll let it out together afterwards!
This rabbit in the enclosure doesn't like it when I try to apply ointment to its ear. It's good that you agreed to hold it and calm it down while I treat the injury. Incredible, the injury has already healed! Now we can release the rabbit and return the key some of its spring energy.
-
Temporary Home
Doorkeeper
The Maiden of Spring will come to the City and decide for herself what to do with this petrified troll that foiled her appearance. But first, let's fill the Dryad Key with spring energy by releasing the gecko I found in winter from its terrarium. Help me inspect it too.
See, my gecko feels at home in this terrarium. When I found it, it had a graze and a few of its scales were missing. Look at how nimble it is, I can't catch him alone. Can you hold it? Excellent! New scales have already grown, so it can now be safel released.
-
Fragile Creatures
Doorkeeper
Have you seen the butterflies from the Forest of Spirits? They winter inside old trees. A blizzard fell such a tree and harmed them. I settled them in a small shelter. It's there, come! When we're convinced that the butterflies are stronger, we'll release them as was ordered by the nature spirits.
I'll open the door to this small shelter with butterflies, and you make sure they don't fly away prematurely. One of them had its wing damaged. I don't want it to become easy prey for someone.
-
Sudden Frost
Doorkeeper
Because of this troll thief, spring energy has left the Dryad Key. But we'll fill the key with its old magic by releasing the animals that I cared for. Don't be surprised, but I have a frog living in a glass jar. come and see!
I found the frog that's in the jar you're holding in the garden. It had damaged feet from trying to dig up the icy soil. The hopper didn't have the time to bury itself in the ground before the cold came . If you're not afraid, hold it, and I'll see if its legs are healed. great, there's no ta scratch!
-
Frostbitten Wing
Doorkeeper
If I've interpreted the spirits' message correctly, the spring warmth energy settled in my pets' hearts. I'll open the locks and set them free, then the Dryad Key will be filled with spring energy once again. Let's see if that caged bird's wing has healed!
I'll open the cage, and you hold the bird carefully. I found it with a frostbitten wing and nursed it all winter. Let's make sure the wing is all right now. Let's see... Wonderful, the frostbitten area is covered with new feathers an the wing is now stronger!
-
Unique Component
Martha
The Dryad Key was created by the spirits of nature using ancient magic. Hence, it's magic that will rejoin its parts. I see that you haven't yet found the key's masterwork bit. Without it, I cannot begin the ritual. Find it where the troll dropped the key!
You're holding the masterwork bit of the key. Thank you for your haste! This bit doesn't look like an element for an ordinary key, but then it wouldn't, as the magic gate's lock isn't ordinary either.
-
Important Element
Detective
Buddy, Martha needs every single element of the broken key to rejoin all of them, so we can't miss anything. I think I see a petrified key stem in the grass over there. Let's check it out!
Great, we've found the key stalk! At this rate, buddy, Martha will quickly perform the ritual and rejoin the Dryad Key. I hope the Doorkeeper will soon be able to open the gate and meet the Maiden of Spring!
-
Lost Colors
Doorkeeper
The Dryad Key's elements look so undermarkable and dull now... I hope that when Martha rejoins them, the spiring colors will return to the key. Before it broke, its foliar decoration was bright and vivid. Let's try to find it!
Oh well, the foliar decoration you found has completely lost its color when it petrified in the troll thief's hands. Now my key looks like a pale imitation of the nature spirits' creation.

Remnants of Magic
Martha
To restore the Dryad Key, I need all of its components. A bow in the form of a filigree disk similar to an open flower bud is an important part. Please find it!
Thanks to your efforts, we now have the filigree disk! I sense the remnants of the nature spirits' magic in it, as pure as dew. But because the key was broken, it almost ran out.

The Queen of Country
Rayden Storke
Sophia has already prepared for the reconciliatory concert with the country star. Let's put one of the ghostly singer's musical awards on stage! This will show he rthat we remember and lover her music.
The music award you put on stage looks great! The crown and microphone symbolize Cecci Barto's musical title - "The Queen of Country".

New Outfit
Sophia
Since my concert dress was stolen by the contry star's ghost, I'll wear her dress. By performing in each other's outfits, we'll show everyone that music unites. Look, what a beautiful fringed dress I found!
This fringed dress hasn't gone out of fashion even after many years! I will order a similar one for my performances, I've wanted to update my concert wardrobe for a long time.

Body Language
Huntress
As a child I loved to dance, and my parents once gave me a Ballerina Doll. She spun around on her base, and it was really inspiring to me. I bet the Puppeteer also made ballerinas that danced and fluttered like butterflies. Let's find one like that in the yard.
Oh! A Ballerina Doll that does different dances. I could watch its practised, light-as-a-feather steps for hours! And this note from the Puppeteer might be of interest to you: "I not only taught the doll how to move, I forced her to dance! But, alas, it's all mechanics, none of it is real..."
-
Words, Words
Cardsharp
You're on the lookout for unique dolls and you didn't even call the old Cardsharp? Well I for one just searched the archives and leaned that the Puppeteer didn't just make violinists and beauties. He also had a doll that could speak! Let's go find it!
There it is, the Talking Doll! And what's this paper here, one of the Puppeteer's notes? "I found out how to make dolls speak, but they only repeat the last words they hear! Why can't I get this right?"
-
Laughter and Tears
Valerie
I heard you're looking for super-dolls that the genius craftsman made. I'm in! Onwards, let's search the yard!
We found the doll, but it's so gloomy... What does this note have to say? The master Puppeteer writes: "Real people can be both happy and sad, but this doll is always sad. Another failure."
-
A Maestro's Game
Isabelle
I heard you need help looking for the genius Puppeteer's dolls. I'm ready. Let's hurry up and go to the Yard of Forgotten Toys.
What a wonderful Violinist Doll... I wouldn't mind having one myself! Look, there's a page from the Pupeteer's diary here too: "Talents are an important human quality, so I created a doll that is capable of playing the most complicated symphonies. But it can't feel or improvise... Again, not what I need..."

Beauty Will Save the World
Detective
The Mayor decided to give his daughter a living doll? That's impossible! We must figure out how the Puppeteer planned on creating a living doll. Let's look around in the Yard of Forgotten Toys for other dolls he made. I'm sure they'll reveal his secrets. I saw one of them near the entrance to the house. Bring it here, please.
What a beautiful doll! And it looks so real! Although, that's where its similarity with people stops. The Puppeteer left some notes here too: "External beauty is good, but how can I capture the charm and appeal of a real person?"
-
A Mechanical Wonder
Mayor
Finally, I came up with a gift that would definitely fill my Sarah with amazement! I needed a living doll! Somehow I got my hands on a surprising little business card. It was in the shape of a mecahnical fan and had info on a certain Puppeteer. I understood at once that he was the only one that could create what I needed. I bet if you combine all the gifts you found and added some City magic, you'd be able to get that fan-like business card.
Oh, you did it! You received the mechanical fan. It's truly a work of art! If that Puppeteer has business cards like that, imagine what kind of toys he could make! So I decided that I could trust him to make a doll for Sarah.
-
Mayoral Games
Mayor
I simply couldn't manage to pick out a gift worthy of my Sarah. She deserved the very best, so I decided to give her a city. A toy one, of course. Go find this Toy City, it was somewhere in the yard.
You brought me the Toy City! But, alas, it too proved not enough. Once, when I was watching Sarah play with her dolls, I heard her say, "It's too bad that you don't understand me and can never say anything back." It was in that moment that I realised what I could get to truly surprise my little girl.
-
A Wild Imagination
Mayor
I wanted to surprise my little girl so badly on her birthday that I even ordered an exotic present: a lynx in a gold an amethyst collar. I have no idea how, but this animal is still bounding about in the Yard of Forgotten Toys. I hope you'll be lucky enough to catch it.
You caught the lynx! Your talents will never cease to amaze me. However, this animal also couldn't pass as an acceptable gift. Despite being domesticated, it was still a wild animal that could injure a child.
-
Night-time Observations
Mayor
At night I would of ten shate up at the stars and think over what I could get to amaze my little Sarah. Then it dawned on me: get her a Telescope! My baby girl would be able to observe the heavens and admire how they sparkled. Bring me the Telescope, I saw it near the Puppeteer's house.
There's the Telescope I planned to give my daughter. And yet, this gift didn't work either. As Sarah was only seven years old, a child of that age should be asleep at night, nog gazing up at the sky.
-
Table Tracks
Mayor
Instead of a dress I decidd to give Sarah a Toy Trainset for her birthday. I think I saw it near the tree in the Yard of Forgotten Toys. Please, be so kind as to bring it to me.
I see you've brought me the Toy Trainset. Was it heavy? Of course it was - it was meant for an enormous dining table. An excellent gift, but my Sarah was a delicate and fragile little girl. I decided that maybe she wouldn't like a trainset.

Quarrel's Consequences
Anna Weber
That unusual evening, I couldn't concentrate on my work. Sounds of a quarrel distracted me. Fabien was shouting at the visitor! Later, I saw a broken glass in the bin. If someone threw it, there should be traces of spilled wine. Let's look for them.
-
Fit for a Princess
Mayor
You brought the items I asked for, so I'll tell you my family history. It began almost 200 years ago. An important day was approaching, the seventh birthday of my daughter Sarah. I decided to put on a huge event - all the City's residents were invited, and the tables buckled under the weight of all her treats. Naturally, I had a special gift waiting for my little girl. For starters, I wanted to give Sarah a dress fit for a princess, sewed with golden thread and accented with peals. Find it for me, please.
You tracked down the dress for Sarah. Look at the fine lacework and rich detailing! I really tried to get only the best for my daughter. However, when I saw the dress, I realised that it didn't show Sarah's beauty or charm well enough. I was forced to look for another gift.

Alarming Signal
Anna Weber
I know that an unusual event occurred in the Atelier, although I didn't see anything. But I heard it! Fabien doesn't receive customers in the evenings, and although it was already late, someone was persistently ringing the bell. It's very loud, try ringing it.
This table bell makes a shrill sound. Fabien uses this one on purpose so he can always hear it and rush to his clients. The ringing distracted me from my work, and I wondered who it could be, as it was much too late to receive clients.
-
Fine Work
Anna Weber
Mr. Storke is so nice, he complimented my bracelet... Yes, I told him about the unusual incident in the Atelier. But I didn't see anything. I was in my room, making lace for a dress trimming. Find the lace and you'll see why I didn't get up.
When you make such a lace, you need to be very careful not to make a mistake in the pattern, so I sat and concentrated on my work. But I was distracted and almost ruined the lace! Such an event that interferes with work is very unusual in the Atelier.
-
Jazz Origins
Sophia
I like the idea of reconciliation by means of music. Let's arrange a duet with the ghostly country singer. Please get me a concert banjo for my image! Although I don't play, it will do for the entourage.
You're back with the concert banjo! Thank you. Did you know that they used a banjo not only for playing country, but also for jazz?
-
Country Jazz
Rayden Storke
In order for Cecci Barto's ghost to leave the Cabaret, let's show her that the listeners still love country songs. Sophia will perform in the guise of a country performer in a duet with the ghostly singer. To do this, she'll need a microphone with a harmonica. Let's look for it!
You found the microphone with a harmonica! It has a special mount for a mouth organ, which allows you to conveniently switch from singing to playing.
-
Wooden Safe
Kira Woodville
A few more steps, and we'll see... a stump? Have I made a mistake in my calculations? No, I remember, it's a cache! You see, my memory is already failing me a little, we need to make a memento pendant urgently. I believe that it'll work. Just help me open the stump cache.
The stump cache is now open, you quickly determined what to push to access it. Were your parents special agents too? Well, I've got the stone for my memento pendant. I'll tell you a secret: it's a spellstone. They say it causes mutations and reveals superpowers.

Reason to Talk
Rayden Storke
We need to get some valuable information rom Anna for the investigation. What would get her talking? Perhaps I can praise her savvy. Have you seen that convenient bracelet Anna made so that her sewing things were to hand? Look for this needlewoman's bracelet, it's worth a look.
This needle woman's bracelet is a very practical thing. Anna said that she came up with this device herself. I should do something like this for myself so I don't lose important spare parts and tools. But for now I'll find out what unusual things Anna saw in the Atelier.
-
Don't Panic
Rayden Storke
On Mr. Black's instructions, I was looking for witnesses to the transfer of the stolen rystals to the counturier. It seems no one saw it. Seamstress Anna was very nervous answering questions though. I'll find out what she's hiding. But I need to calm her down first. Look for some smelling salt.
Thank you, this smelling salt falcon will come in handy when talking to Anna. She swore that she didn't see the crystals, but the question about unusual incidents in the Atelier made her as pale as a sheet. I'll continue the conversation, with smelling salt at the ready.

Pinpoint Accuracy
Kira Woodville
It seems that the place where the stone is hidden is fog-free. But I'm not certain. To calculate its position according to the coordinates, we'll need the geodetic device my parents used. Let's find our old distance meter.
This distance meter has been through a lot, and it still works just fine! Now I'll determine where the stone for my memento pendant is located with pinpoint accuracy. Follow me!
-
Time-Tested Device
Carlos Light
Ancient knowledge will help me determine whether the tower clock is showing the right time. I think the keeper of the City's clock used a proven device such as the merkhet clock in his work. Have you found one?
Precisely, this is merkhet - an ancient Egyptian instrument for determining time during day - by the sun, and at night - by the North Star. Hmm, we just need to find it in the fog.
-
Stone Chronometer
Carlos Light
Black's assignment to find tout it the City's clock is wrong turned out to be harder than I thought. It's difficult to determine the exact time in the City, but I'll manage! Let's look for a hemicyclium sundial.
The hemicyclium sundial is one of the most reliable designs. Its dial is in the form of a stone bowl and is convenient for observing the passage of time. This is what I'll do.

Stellar Calculations
Calros Light
The zodiac clock you found brought us closer to our goal - I almost determined the accurate time. If only the fog wasn't covering the stars...

Secret Code
Kira Woodville
Mom and dad tracked illegal mining of valuable minerals. They encrypted their reports and taught me to do the same. It was back then that I encrypted the information about the unusual stone I want for my parent. To read it, we'll need a pocket decoder. Find one.
This pocket decoder will help me find out the coordinates of where the stone for my memento pendant is hidden. It'll take just a minute... Done! I haven't lost my decryption skills, I have the coordinates.

An Elegant Accessory
Valerie
What's a birtuday party without presents? Exactly - it isn't one! And every gift needs a cool package. A pretty box wrapped up in an enormous Silk Bow is nothing short of spectacular. Bring it here, please.
What an awesome bow... You can wrap an elephant in it! What kind of gift did the Mayor have in store for his daughter?
-
Valuable Skills
Kira Woodville
I'm a daughter of special agents, that's why I'm so... brisk. My parents gave me valuable skills. I need the memento pendant so that I don't forget any of them. In gratitude, I can show you a couple of nimble tricks. Let's find the exerciser for developing dexterity.
This dexterity exerciser helped me keep fit from a young age. I never thought I'd see it again, because we suddenly left and abandoned it here. Workouts always awaken memories in me. Now, back to finding the stone for my memento pendant.
-
Undercover
Kira Woodville
My parents and I were in the City long before the fog enveloped it. A pendant with the stone we're looking for will remind me of them. By the way, some of our things from those times still remain here. For example, my sheathed umbrella, look for it.
Want to know why the umbrella is shethed? Because, like any other object, it can be used as a weapon for self-defense - that's what my mom and dad taught me. Officially, they were gold hunters, but I can tell you in confidence: my parents are special agents.
-
Secret Exit
Kira Woodville
The hardest thing to remember is how I escaped from captivity. Perhaps this is the key. I often see a door in my dreams... I was led through it by a man without a hood. It was kind of special, this door. I will try to make a maquette of it, help me.
Thank you! With your help, I made a nice maquette of the door from my memories. I've realized what it was about: the door was hidden, my savior led me through a fireplace! And before that, he was arguing with a man in a black hood. That man called him... "Collector"!

Treacherous Cover
Carlos Light
I always stay away from table No8. Many people fall for no apparent reason when walking past it. Or is there a reason after all? Inspect the red carpet lying near the table, and I'll shine a torch on it for you!
The red carpet lying next to table No8 seems to deliberately tuck into folds underfoot in order to make the visitors fall, believe it or not!
