Headwear
Isabelle
Find a ghost? Whose ghost? Do we even have a name? Is there any item that belonged to him left? Was he wearing a Hat? Find it!
This isn't a hat, this is a chaperon. I think your ghost happens to be of very noble birth That sort of headwear was worn in the fifteenth century. Who knew how to play cards back then?
-
Spring Berries
Conductor
I'll hlep you find some spring berries. I have a nose for them - I'm an expert in alcoholic berry beverages. Fllow me, I'll show you where to look.
The first berries of spring! They weren't easy to find amongst all the belladonna! There's no need to thank me for the help. Anyone sick of winter would have done the same in my place.
-
Fluttering Buterflies
Juliette
The park is full of frozen butterflies. It seems that all the spring colours have disappeared from the nature spirits' world. But all is not lost - only a couple of minute ago, I saw some fluttering butterflies. They frew by some little distance away - I'll show you where.
Such bright spring butterflies! They have a touch of spring magic within them as well. I hope this will help the Spirit of Spring dispel the evil charms.
-
The Trees Awaken
Isabelle
This year, the world of the nature spirits is full of anomalies. The sunshine isn't warm, and even the trees don't want to open up their leaves. But recentl, while walking through the park, I saw a few branches of a blossoming willow. Find them for the Spirit of Spring.
What a wonderful and delicate bouquet the blossoming willow made! I'm sure this beauty will help the Spirit of Spring. The nwinter will finally come to an end in the City.
-
Marks of Excellence
Valerie
I looked in the City Hall archives to learn more about the train driver. It turns out that his uniform requirements included special Lapel Badges. I think I saw similar ones on the platform. Bring them, please.
Let's see what you've brought. Wow! These Lapel Badges are made of silver! Yes, Sanetti is truly a luxurious train. Even the driver's Marks of Excellence are made of precious metal!
-
Exact Time
Conductor
To save the Detective, you need to find out why the passengers turned into toys. The kid may know the answer to this question, but he's as silent s the grave. Using my device we could find out something aobut these events. This requires the belongings of someone who is aware of all the details, such as the driver. Start with the clcok. The driver is obliged to keep the train on schedule, so he cannot do without a chronometer.
You managed to find the driver's Hanging Clock. Look, it even has the railway company logo on it! Apparently, these clocks were given to drivers so that they could check their travel time.
-
Obedient Diamonds
Cardsharp
When I have two suits, I again feel the secret connections between the cards. When I lost the deck I lost a part of my soul... The Diamonds are in the Manor Gate area. They are very amenable.
Yes, my diamond! Let me put the cards together... Hey, guys, stop quarreling; don't you recognize each other? You are united again, so get used to it! Don't look like that - I'm not crazy! Don't you hear the fuss the cards make? No? Only a professional card player can hear it.
-
Song of the Lark
Valerie
The Spirit of Spring asked you to find items of true spring? I'd be glad to help - I have an excellent ear. I hear the warbling of a lark in the distance. I'm sure it hasn't been touched by winter magic. I'll point you in the right direction to look for it.
The songs of the lark fill my heart with hope. In them lives a spark of spring magic. I'm glad I could help!
-
First Flowers
Detective
The Spirit of Spring has asked us to find little pieces of spring that have avoided the corruption of the withering magic. But where to look? The park is full of withered flowers, frozen birds and butterflies, needles and belladonna... Wait... I think I smell snowdrops. Yes! There's definitely some nearby. Let's find them!
I thought all the flowers had withered, but no - you managed to find a Flowering Snowdrop! Within it is sealed part of the lost spring magic!
-
Two Suits
Cardsharp
I spread a few combinations and the cards confirmed my guess: the Top Clubs are near where the lower ones were. You claim they aren't there? But they could be nearby, at the Station, say. Cards don't lie; it's worth checking.
We now have Clubs and Hearts, black and red, righteous warriors and crafty fellows - they balance each other. Half the deck is in my hands... Oh no! The Ace of Clubs is missing!
-
Severe Clubs
Cardsharp
Clubs are next. When that plane crashed into the Station I felt a burst of magical energy - my cards calling. They must have been hidden nearby and the accident woke them. Magic cards can't be damaged by fire, but I'm still worried about my Club Suit. Please find it quickly!
You found only the lower clubs? But I can feel the others in the Station area! Give me them, I want to hold them in my hands again.
-
Code Equation
Kira Woodville
The inventor's suitcase is filled with some kind of glass covered with formulas. I sorted them by number for an hour to put in the file! Hey, where did tablet go? Black will skin me alive! Please help me find it!
This is the one. Without your help, I wouldn't have found this glass piece full of formulas! And why did the inventor write his formulas on transparent glass? Has he never heard of paper?
-
Spring Helpers
Maiden of Spring
Wonderful! You managed to assemble the Spring Fairy outfit. Now I can perform the ritual to summon this beautiful little careature. All I need are a few spring amulets to strengthen my weakened spells.
Wonderful, we did it! The outlines of the fairy have appeared in a twinkling cloud!
-
Spring Amulet
Maiden of Spring
The power of nature awakening is reflected in the Sunshine Talisman. It's somewhere nearby, I feel it. Bring it, please - it's the last piece of the traditional Spring Fairy outfit.
Here it is, the Sunshine Talisman. This amulet is full of the warmth of the spring sun. It's the final piece of the Spring Fairy outfit.
-
Spring Branch
Maiden of Spring
Every Spring Fairy must have a staff. It looks like an ordinary branch, but it has so much of the power of nature within it that new flowers keep growing and growing on it. Find one, please, and make sure not to mix it up with just any old stick.
Thank you. One glance is enough to see that this Flowering Staff is full of the magic of spring.
-
Leaf Belt
Maiden of Spring
The traditional Spring Fairy outfit always includes an elegant belt woven from green leaves. It won't be easy to find green leaves in the park right now, but I'm sure you'll manage it.
You made an elegant belt of fresh leaves. The fairies themselves are no less elegant, believe me.
-
The Path Begins
Hanako
The melody is drawing me inside the Riverside Abode. I feel that I'm destined to help the musician pass the trial of the Unseen Judges! Let's go inside, it will be calmer for me with you there.
It seems that someone was going on the road but never took their belongings, including lunch and a sun umbrella. Take a lock - the biwa, the sounds of which caused the snowfall, is lying on the Riverside Abode's threshold. Has the wanderer not started his journey?
-
Flower Crown
Maiden of Spring
Spring fairies love wreaths. Look for flowers for a wreath in the park. Try and bring me a wreath made of meadow flowers.
Yes! This is the perfect wreath, woven from the first flowers of spring! This wreath is the best decoration for a Spring Fairy.
-
Grass Outfit
Spirit of Spring
Thank you! As soon as you took that terrible Black Wreath away I was able to break out of my prison, but my mind is still clouded. One of the spring fairies might be able to help me. They love outfits and always appear if there's a chance to try on something new. Bring me a Spring Fairy outfit. Start your search with a dress woven of fresh green grass.
Oh, you found the Grass Dress for the Spring Fairy so quickly! It's beautiful, don't you think? I hope the other parts of the outfit turn up just as quickly.
-
Poisonous Fruit
Detective
While inspecting the park, I hurt my hand badly and now the wound is swollen... The first greenery of spring is usually gentle. What did I injure myself on? Could you find out, while I bind the wound?
You found some Belladonna? So that's what I pricked my hand on! Belladonna is terribly poisonous. It's as if nature has been corrupted. All around are spines and needles, and Belladonna is one every bush.
-
Frozen Hues
Detective
In the winter, everything takes on a grey tone. But spring comes, and right before our eyes, a transformation takes place. Nature is full of vibrant hues and greenery. But the first butterflies...! Juliette loves the spring butterflies. But where are they now? We spent all day at the picnic, but didn't see a single butterfly. Look around - maybe you can find one of them.
A spring butterfly covered in ice? Alas, in this state they won't please anyone but entomologists. Without these wonderful creatures, spring won't be anywhere near as bright and beautiful.
-
Without Warmth
Detective
What else has gone wrong in the world of the nature spirits? In the spring, the world awakens from its winter sleep. That means that in a few days, green leaves start to appear on the trees. Inspect a few of the trees in the area.
The buds on many trees haven't even opened up. Some evil force is preventing the trees from awakening.
-
Talking cards
Cardsharp
I spoke to the cards you found. The lower Hearts told me their higher borothers and sisters were near a gilded gate - the Manor House Gate. How can Cards talk? Not with words but the combinations when they're spread. This Deck... I can use it to play the whole City. I'll tell you later what it means and let you learn wonderful things. But now, please, look for the remaining cards by the Gate.
Now I have all the Hearts. I was wrong to doubt your abilities.
-
Unliftable Knowledge
Kira Woodville
It's said in the newspaper that the scientist came to the City with a large suitcase: "It was very heavy for others due to the weight of knowledge that was stored in it." Hmm, it would've been more useful to know the size or material the suitcase was made of, or any distinctive features. All right, I'll figure it out myself. Do you think it may be one of those suitcases? Let's check!
Wow, it's such a heavy thing! Help me out! The inventor's suitcase is absolutely unliftable! Let's look at its contents and put everything in order so that it'll be easier for me to organize later.
-
Something Valuable
Kira Woodville
To find out about Jacob's fate, we need to send a capsule through a special pneumatic tube. But we need to give something valuable in exchange, filled with special memories and meaning. Let's find it!
The Secret League Badge? You said it was the only thing from your world... You were a member of that society with Jacob. Well, that's a worthy gift!
-
Bang-bang-clang-clang!
Detective
There's such clatter near the temple that I thought the dragon had arleady arrived! However, it turns out that our new musicians are practising. I know this will be a fitting addition to the orchestra. Bring the Chau Gong.
I didn't know the Chau Gong was so big. Now it's clear why they use it in street processions rather than indoors. Hmm... I'm going off to practice getting the loudest rand clearest sound from the Chau Gong.
-
Dong-bong-chang-clong!
Valerie
wow, you've just assembled a percussion orchestra! Could you also bring Brass Cymbals? After the dragon's awakening I'll give them to Alex... Maybe we could even put a band together.
Let me try to play... Whoa, what a sound! I'm sure the sound of these clanging cymbals will wake up the dragon!
-
Shimmering World
Carlos Light
I wanted to add a phantom opal to the superlamp glass. I experimented a bit, but then I changed my mind. The glass was good and even glowed a little, but it distracted the lamplighters from their service. I inserted it into that screen, take a look.
It turned out to be an entertaining kind of screen - its glass with phantom opal flickers, and pictures running on it... You could sit here all evening, just watching them flicker.
-
Green Light
Carlos Light
I had high hopes for phytoglass with clayoprase and chalcepeat. In such a lamp, the crystals gradually grew larger. Black rejected it all though, so I attached that glass to a garden spinner. Help me find it.
Would you look at that, the spinner is overgrown again. That's because phytoglass is good at stimulating growth. It was difficult with the lamps: you couldn't put them down for a second without bindweed twining around them.
-
Source of Cool
Carlos Light
I've tried many compounds and I think I'm ready to make the glass for the superlamp. It's a shame you can't add frost quartz to it - a lamp with such glass would make your hands freeze. I need to install the window casing. It's here somewhere, look around.
The frost quartz glass is clear and very cool. In the heat, I simply fix this casing above the window and enjoy the cold.
-
Dreams in Color
Carlos Light
Have you heard about wizard gemrocks? I added these stones to the lamps' glass once. It turned out to be very beautiful, but it made the lamplighters fall asleep. Now this glass is in my bedroom window. Come, let me show you.
This glass with gemrocks inspires colorful dreams. I agree with Black, it's not very practical to use in the lamps, but I continue to experiment. Although he did ask me to stop.
-
Light and Warmth
Carlos Light
Not everyone likes my inventions. Mr. Black almost closed down my workshop once. He burned himself on the fire glass I put on his lamp. I meant well: to make a lantern that would emanate light and warmth, but I miscalculated. Now I'm heating my house with this glass, I've put it into the fireplace screen. There it is, look.
Inside this fireplace screen, there's glass made of a special alloy with sparkling pyrite. It emits heat, can you feel it? I don't need my fireplace burning anymore, now I just bask in the fire glass.
-
Ardent Engine
Carlos Light
I have no doubt in the portable turbine's power. Judging by the description in the statute, it needs to be installed at the fog trap's base. Let's hurry up and complete the work by assembling a powerful turbine.
This portable turbine is small yet efficient. It will energize all the fog trap's component parts. I can't wait to run it!
-
Light and Color
Carlos Light
The next step in building the trap looks impler: we need to assemble polychromic searchlights. I don't know how they'll keep the fog in, but I already have some multicolored glass for them. Help me assemble the parts correctly.
The polychromic searchlights turned out great! They look a bit frivolous, but their description was written by the Collector himself and I trust his knowledge.
-
Special Part
Carlos Light
An important part of the fog trap is the topological catalyst, a special solution in an intricate flask. I've already made the flask and prepared the solution, but pouring it inside isn't so simple. I need your help.
Phew, we made it! The topological catalyst seems strange but it matches the description in the statute. It should enhance the trap's effect on the fog.
-
Gravitational Pull
Carlos Light
To trap the fog, we need magnetic funnels - it's what the instructions in the Fellowship of Lamplighter's statute say to do. I have magnets, let's try to make funnels out of them. Help me assemble them.
These magnetic funnels turned out to be quite powerful! I haven't noticed the fog reacting to magnets, but we'll check how it works soon enough.
-
Strong Net
Carlos Light
In my experiments with the fog, I've not made much progress: I only know that the fog samples disappear without a trace from any test tube or box. In the statute's description, it's recommended to assemble a force net as the shell of the trap. This is genius! I've prepared the necessary elements, let's combine them into the net.
The force net looks very thin and... netlike. How can it hold the fog in? It's only the first part of the trap though. Let's continue.
-
Boom-bam Thumder in my Ears...
Conductor
Why are you messing around, pal? A small drum, bells - you want to wake the dragon with these? I suggest finding a serious noise maker. Bring Taiko Drums.
Here is a worthy instrument! The Taiko Drum is used in street processions and orchestras. Its booming sound will completely shatter the dragon's sleep!
-
Tram-tam-tam-taram...
Alex
We need to wake the dragon! Maybe you could try a Damaru Drum? I used this instrument as concerts because of its mobility and interesting sound. Find the damaru. It's a drum with a handle and two balls on strings.
I'll show you how to play the damaru. You have to rotate the drum around its axis so the balls strike the drumhead. You see, it's not at all difficult. Get the hang of it and you can even scare away evil spirits like they do in Tibet. I hope this also helps to awaken the Dark Dragon.
-
Ding-dong-ding...
Huntress
mein herr, Valerie is right! What's the point of collecting weapons if the enemy is asleep? Also, this is the right strategic move to wake up the Dragon. We'll know exactly when and where we can expect the enemy! We'll continue to follow Valerie's plan. We'll make a huge racket. First, find something simple, such as Bells.
You found excellent Bells, which are called "wind catchers". Only it seems to me that their ringing is so melodic they will lull the dragon to sleep rather than wake it up.
-
Let's hurry to the rescue!
Inspector
A different dimension? I still can't believe that a whole park, not to mention me, could have teleported from jolly old England to here, the City of Shadows. I'd really like to know more about this place. I'm sure this City is full of secrets and mysteries. But I'm afraid there's no time. We need to open the gate and find out what happened in the park. Hurry, Miss Angela could be in mortal danger - I heard gunshots.
The park is breath-taking: a quiet lake and a lawn, flower beds and shrubs... clear air filled with the scent of flowers. I can see a large house covered in greenery. The harmonious landscape leaves no doubt that this place was created to inspire. Angela sure has good taste. But where is she?
-
One Hundred Years of Waiting
Lady Peacock
I can't believe that 100 years of seclusion are coming to an end. Please, take my hand and escort me to the Pier. I don't feel steady on my feet and I'm afraid of fainting upon seeing my Captain...
What's this?! There's not a single living soul on the ship's deck? It's completely empty! No, no, this can't be! Where is my dear Captain?
-
Source of Life
Valerie
The Dark Dragon is evil and heartless! Our mission is to return the Eastern dragon's benevolence and mercy. The Master's Wand surely has a detail in the shape of the dragon7s heart. Find it to make the scaly creature kinder.
This stone is definitely the Dragon Heart! See, it shines with five colours and glows as if it contains all the fire of the earth... It even seems that while holding the dragon heart in my hands, I become nobler, more honest and wiser.
-
Moissanite's Uniqueness
Carlos Light
For the experiment, I'm ready to sacrifice a very rare minerarl - moissanite. It's found only at the sites where meteorites fall. I had a polished piece of moissanite in a frame, let's look for it.
-
Imperial Claws
Conductor
After I came across the "Law of the Five Claws" from Tianxia in the City Hall's archives, it seems to me that the Dragon Master's Wand must include dragon claws. They'll be small, no more than half a metre. Look in the nooks and crannies, they must be around here somewhere.
That's it! You found the Dragon Claws that decorate the Master's Wand. Chinese law declared the five-clawed dragon to be the symbol of the emperor. Ordinary people, under the threat of death, were forbidden to wear clothing with this animal's image. Have you counted how many claws are on our wand?
-
Ornate Decoration
Cardsharp
Remember the winged shadows that have been sailing over the streets of the City of Shadows lately? I'm certain the Dragon Master's Wand must have wings, to help stop these flying nightmares. Look for the Dragon Wings in the temple.
Right on! The wings you found are a piece of the Dragon Master's Wand. Did you know that Chinese dragons don't always have wings? It turns out their ability to fly isn't a physical but magical property. I've heard that Chinese dragons rise into the sky thanks to a lump on the back of their head.
-
Intricate Knob
Huntress
Martha will use the Master's Wand to tame the dark force that lies in the scales of the powerful and wise Eastern dragon. If the cane is made in the shape of a serpent's body, there's no doubt that a dragon head will top the wand. Find the top of the wand.
You did it! See, I was right! The top of the wand turned out to be a dragon's head. Did you know that Chinese dragons hear not with their ears but with their horns? It's such an interesting feature.
-
Solid Foundation
Detective
So, Martha is the Chosen One capable of subduing the dragon... I'm not surprised. To defeat the monster, she needs the Dragon Master's Wand. Well, now the objective is absolutely clear - we must scour the temple in search of the missin wand pieces. Let's start with the cane. It's fairly big, so finding it should be quite easy.
Excellent! You found the cane so quickly. I hope the other pieces will be as easy. By the way, did you notice the cane is made in the shape of a dragon's body? We need to count the scales on the wand. A Chinese dragon should have exactly 117.
-
The Key to Life
Angelique
Everything is ready for the reverse soul transfer process. We have to start right now to save Anna, but I see that to start the equipment we need an unusually shaped key in the form of an arc. Perhaps the scissor handle will do. Let's try.
You have brought graceful silver scissors. These are your favorites, are they not, Fabien? I thank you, but they are not a suitable key. We have to urgently find another solution, Anna's time is running out.
-
Special Pipes
Kira Woodville
No one knows why, but some pneumatic tubes are different from others. I'm certain that if you send a gift through them, you can get something valuable in return. But first we need a Pneumatic Mail Capsule. Bring it.
Great! We have a capsule and Jacob's ID card. This is enough to ask a question to someone who is considered all-konwing in the Upper City.
-
Basalt's Durability
Rayden Storke
I saw the head of a deity made of stone here somewhere. Carlos says it's basalt, a mineral of volcanic origin. Let's check how the locket's power is going to affect it. Find the basalt statuette for the experiment.
-
Sandstone's Reliability
Carlos Light
For the experiment, I have an ancient contraption I traded with the scavengers - millstones. I hope they can withstand the locket's power and charge with some anti-fog energy. Bring the millstones, I left them at the door.
These millstones are made of durable sandstone. Let's try to awaken the anti-fog properties in this mineral during the experiment with the locket.
-
Granite's Hardness
Carlos Light
For the experiment, we need to collect the most persistent minerals. I'm counting on the fact that the locket's power won't destroy them, but instead give them some anti-fog properties. We should definitely test granite - it's avery hard stone. I have a granite statuette, look around.
You found my little granite sphinx. It's thousands of years old, yet it's still as good as new. Let's see if granite can withstand the energy of the locket.
-
Negative Result
Carlos Light
So, Rayden's locket contained some kind of energy that has released and changed the crystals. Now we need to check how they affect the fog. Bring me the trap, a fog sample is locked up in it.
There was a substantial sample of fog, but now it's gone. The trap is reliable - it's one of the Collector's inventions. That means the locket's energy destroyed the fog. Unbelievable!
-
Energy Charge
Carlos Light
I don't see any other source except the locket from where the energy could have erupted, but that's absurd. Let's look at the crystals modified by its energy wave. Find my refractometer.
Judging by the refractometer's readings, the anti-fog crystals' nature has changed. I'd venture to suggest that they've been recharged... by at least one thousand percent!
-
Great Change
Carlos Light
Are you all right? Some strange energy wave swept through the workshop when I tried to test Rayden's locket. There were some exhausted crystals lying here. Did you see where they went?
Are you sure you found the same defunct anti-fog crystals? No, I believe you. It's just that now they look... different.
-
Durability Test
Carlos Light
Take a look, the locket isn't just shaped like an apple - it is an pple, only made of metal... or stone. I can't determine by eye. We need to try and affect this material. Pass me the punch stamps.
I'll preff with this punch stamp here... Monsters and Defenders, what was that?! A lightning bold? It was as if I were in the epicenter of an explosion... but nothing was destroyed.
-
Exquisite Workmanship
Carlos Light
Rayden's brought me quite an intersting locket. He was hesitating so much when he gave it to me, as if he didn't want to part with it. Well, let's try and run a quick analysis to find out what makes this small locker so heavy. We'll need a ball vise, look for it.
This bullseye vise is very convenient for holding jewelry. Hmm, what exquisite workmanship! I don't know who made this locket, but they were a real master.
-
Help from Nowhere
Kira Woodville
To get information about Jacob, we'll need help. Perhaps the recipient sitting on the other side of the pneumatic tubes will answer you. But to send a message, we need capsules. Search for the Mail Machine, it must be here.
Pneumatic mail capsules are usually stored in mail machines so that they don't lie around. Let's get a capsule from the Mail Machine.
-
Someone on the Other Side
Kira Woodville
Many in the Upper City don't believe that the department's pipes lead somewhere. But I know for sure that there's a recipient on the other side. And he knows a lot. To send a capsule, you'll need a token. Will you look for it?
With this token, we'll be able to send a message and learn about Jacob's fate. The token serves as a sort of payment instead of coins.
-
Complex Cipher
Mr. Black
Soon we'll find out who is behind these threats. The contents of the backpack will lead us to its owners! To pick the combination lock on the backpack, I'll use Jefferson's Disks. Now, where are they? Help me find them.
Thank for the help, I've got it now! So, Jefferson's Disks rotate on the axis... The logic's clear to me. Now I'll twist here... I've obtained the combination! Let's check.
-
Iron Ink
Mr. Black
Have you noticed that some of the symbols in the message are rough? I guess they're written in ink containing iron chips. Let's try to find the ones we need using a Search Magnet. I had one somewhere around here. Let's look for it now.
Thank you, this magnet you found helped me reveal the iron symbols. Now we need to determine their correct sequence and enter them into the combination lock on the backpack.
-
A Tip from the Post Office
Mr. Black
Instead of focusing on the case you suggest using the pneumatic mail to hopefully get an answer in a special capsule? Hmm, maybe this is a reasonable idea. The ones we are looking for may be on the other side. Let7s find a capsule.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself! We were sent a capsule with a clue. It's a sheet with strange symbols on it. Is it the combination to the fugitive's backpack?
-
Dangerous Mineral
Mr. Black
I received a letter, where its authors dared to advise me not to pry into other people's affairs! Whoa re these ignorant people? Maybe Scavengers hanging around t he Rift? Let's exmine the evidence - the Mineral Fragment - using a geological magnifying glass. Pass it to me.
Yes, this is ecactly the Geological Magnifier we need! Let's take a look... So, I see a cut on the dark rock... It was mined in the fog zone! This mineral is still dangerous.
-
The First Clue
Mr. Black
I remember that during the chase one of the characters dropped something. It looks similar to a piece of mineral. This clue will lead us to whoever is threatening me. Let's find that Mineral Fragment.
Among all the dusty stones on the edge of the fog, you found the exact Mineral Fragment we need! It has a strange glow - perhaps it's not safe!
-
New Clue
Carlos Light
I remember being pleased: I caught a lot of fireflies in the jar containing the bait. I wanted to close it so they wouldn't fly away... And that's where my memory lapses again. You're a search genius: please find another clue.
This lid is similar to the one I closed the jar of firefiles with. Wait... I didn't close it! I suddenly heard someone's footsteps, I dropped the lid in surprise, and it rolled away.
-
Bright Thought
Carlos Light
What was attracted by my bait? Midges, butterflies... The fog causes little harm to insects. It seems that yesterday I thought about it, and a bright idea flashed in my mind... Oh, it just flashed again! It's not an idea, but an insect. Catch it!
This is a special Sparkling Firefly. See how bright it shines? The light is even stronger in the dark. And when there are a lot of them... So yesterday it seems I left everything and went to catch fireflies!
-
Strange Feeling
Carlos Light
So, yesterday I was studying a weak crystal... Why do I have a memory lapse as if I've been out in the fog? something unusual happened, I can feel it. We must find something that doesn't fit the situation.
You're right, this saucer with butterflies doesn't relate to my scientific work. Although... I remember that I made bait for insects so they wouldn't distract me from my research.
-
Scientific Data
Carlos Light
You see, I don't only clean the lamps, I also do some research. I'm trying to find out how to replace the crystals. Their stock is stolen, and the remaining crystals in the lamps are gradually dying out. In the observation diary, I wrote that yesterday I investigated some kind of radiation. Let's look for the device I used.
You're a genius! I used the Polariscope to study the properties of a certain light source. I'll check the testimonies now, they might be imortant.
-
Great Society
Rayden Storke
Who would've thought that the Fellowship's story is also the story of Carlos! Thus, we're one step closer to obtaining the statute. Carlos said he decided to make the Fellowship great, and he needed a coat of arms for this. Let's look for it!
These are the first sketches of the Fellowship's Coat of Arms. Carlos drew them himself to attract people. He clearly succeeded... But then the fog overwhelmed us again.
-
Sad News
Carlos Light
My memory is becoming clearer. Soon we will know the whole Fellowship's history and get the statute! The records of the Master Lamplighter's assistant mention dim lamps... What does that mean? Let's look for such a lamp: maybe it will give us a clue.
As soon as I touched the lamp, my memory started to return... Every lamp in the City dimmed because the Master Lamplighter was gone and there was no one to take care of them.
-
Hero's Assistant
Rayden Storke
At this rate we'll soon retrieve the statute of the Fellowship! So, we've learned that the Master Lamplighter saved the boy who later became his assistant. Let's look for items belonging to the boy. Maybe they'll give us more information?
This bag is full of tools, but all of them are small, as if made for a child's hand. It seems that the rescued boy desperately wanted to help the Master Lamplighter. There are records...
-
Records of a Genius

To open the box containing the Fellowship's statute, we'll need to find items from the organization's past. After the Collector's departure, the maintenance of all the lamps fell to the Fellowship. Many lamplighters learned this thanks to the notes of this famous explorer of the City. Let's inspect the stash with these records, maybe they'll tell us something.
A hidden stash in the book, that's very resourceful! Look, there's information about the Master Lamplighter. Let's read it...

Useful Invention
Carlos Light
We will soon find the statute of the Fellowship. When the first lamps were developed, the question of maintenance arose. The Master Lamplighter did all of this: he repaired the glass, recharged the crystals... We have his Portable Measuring Device somewhere.
With a Portable Measuring Device you can find out how much light is left in the crystal and how long it'll last without recharging. All lamplighters have one.

Historical Treasures
Rayden Storke
The Fellowship of Lamplighters' statute is hidden, but there are marks on items from the Fellowship's history that'll lead us to it. What could be ore important to their history than the first every lamp's prototype? Let's take a look at it.
Just as I thought, the prototype of the first lamp also has a mark. We're very close to finding the Fellowship's statute!

Unexpected Help
Carlos Light
We will find the statute of the Fellowship, I'm sure of it. when the Collector realized that crystals alone were not enough to fight the fog, the Master Lamplighter came to his aid and helped him create some special glass. Find this glass and I'll explain.
This is the Experimental Glass for the first lamps. The Master Lamplighter designed them with the Collector to enhance the light of the crystals.

Weak Crystals
Carlos Light
Thank you for helping me look for the Fellowship's statute. At the beginning of the war with the fog, the Collector obtained the first crystals somehow. There were no lamps back then, so the Collector used crystals in a frame. I saw one somewhere... It's made to look like a pendant.
These first crystals emitted very little light and didn't help much against the fog. Take a look... There's something scratched on the rim. That's clearly a symbol that'll help us find the statute!

The First Crystal
Rayden Storke
Carlos is looking for the Fellowship of Lamplighters' statute. We should help him because the statute contains important information about the fog. Lamplighters always leave marks and signs - I used to do so myself. I'm sure that if we find the things that are important to the Fellowship, we'll be able to find the statute. Carlos mentioned a Crystal Sample, let's look for it.
This Crystal Sample is very old, and its light can no longer disperse the fog. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the first crystals found by the Collector.

Information
Kira Woodville
It's believed that some of the department's pneumatic pipes are special. If you send a gift through them, you can get information or even rare artifacts in response. If you're lucky, you will receive news from your friend Jacob by sending items in a capsule that are related to him. Let's try do you have his photo?
You've found his ID Card? If Jacob was assigned this card, it means that he really has been in the City before.

Memories of Care
Kira Woodville
We'll be able to help Carlos return the memories of his family. The Security Service had specific rules to follow in case the fog ever surrounded your house. Surely Carlos taught the children these rules. Look for some kind of instruction manual.
Carlos folded the instructions into a paper house so that little Lucas learned the safety rules while playing with him. Smart! Carlos is a good father.
-
Memories of Kindness
Carlos Light
I can't let myself forget my children! Lucas and Vera wanted to stay in our house when I moved here for work. But they gave me a key with their address so that I could visit them. Help me find this key.
My lovely children attached their address to the keychain. They knew I might forget it because of the fog's proximity. I visited them every day and spent my nights in the Workshop.
-
Place with Beautiful Songs
Carlos Light
We will soon understand where the criminals went. On the last piece of the recording, they were talking about a singer. Remember someone saying: "Sings like a siren. Maybe it's the microphone?" I think we should look for a microphone.
I wanted to make a walkie-talkie out of this Microphone so that the lamplighters would have the means to communicate. But there's too much background noise in the fog. It's all right, I'll think of something else.

Warm Mark
Fabien Delamode
If we're collecting items that Anna's hands often touched, then let's add an iron. She's a very nest girl, and her outfits have always been well sewn and ironed to perfection. A charcoal iron should be somwhere nearby.
Yes, this is exactly the iron Anna used... while she still had her soul with her. I hope we can fix my involuntary slip-up and that Angelique's sacrifice won't be in vain.
-
Clear Imprint
Angelique
Thank you, Fabien. We need to use everything we can to increase the chances of saving Anna. Let's collect the items she often used that have the imprint of her energy on them. For example, a set of sewing tools. Look around, where can it be?
You found the craftswoman's box - a set of sewing tools that Anna used daily. When she retrieves her stolen soul, she'll be able to do what she loves again.
-
Chances of Success
Fabien Delamode
Ooh la la, Angelique, my love, I never dissuaded you from this suicide! Oh well, I will help you save Anna and redeem myself by suffering. I saw what the Puppeteer did to increase the chances of success. We need Anna's sewing machine.
Anna used to spend all day at this sewing machine, so it's probably absorbed some of her energy. The Puppeteer used such charged items to make his equipment work better. I hope we can do it too.

Commercial Amulet
Cardsharp
My dearest friend, I know exactly what you need to find. Look for the Pixiu, the Lion Dragon. I'm sure it's enough to complete the collection. This is a very advantageous animal. Something will come to poor Cardsharp...
Excellent, you found the Pixiu! They say the Lion Dragon has a great sense for gold and silver, and attracts wealth to itself and wards off misfortune. The Pixiu is also the keeper of merchants. After all the rituals, I'll be allowed to keep the Pixiu, right? I really need a guardian...
-
Place with Coffee
Rayden Storke
We'll be able to find out where the criminals went if we analyze the tape recording. It mentions the place where coffee is served. Pretty vague... Well, let's try to find a Coffee Maker.
Carlos's old Coffee Maker! Oh, now I really want coffee... just like the man in the recording. But it's not the time to relax, we need to finish the investigation first.
-
Place Without Weapons
Mr. Black
We need to find out where the criminals went. The criminals mentioned that weapons are prohibited in this place. Yet I presume they want to slip inside with homemade knives disguised as mechanisms. I know these kind of knives. Search for them in the post office amongst the confiscated items.
If you fold such a knife, it looks like a magnifying glass used by scavengers. But these tricks won't work on me.
-
Touching Memories
Carlos Light
To return the memories of my family, help me find the items related to them. My daughter Vera is also a mechanic, she made me a special Signaling Watch. But where is it?
I can't believe I almost lost this watch! Vera attached a signaling light to it so that I could be seen in the fog while patrolling. She is a real jack-of-all-trades!
-
Place for the Elite
Kira Woodville
We won't solve the case of the crystals' theft unless we know where the criminals went. In the recording, there was a phrase about the elite dropping into the place. Well, in that case, let's find something expensive.
These cufflinks are not only expensive, they also have the Security Service's coat of arms on them. That is they're particularly popular with the elite. A good find!
-
Happy Memories
Rayden Storke
Carlos and I are good friends, so I want to help him get the memories of his family back. I remember that he has two children. He constantly pampered his son and gave the boy a lot of toys. We should look for one of them.
Yes, yes, I remember this airplane very well! I helped Carlos make it myself. What happened to the boy, why did he leave his favorite toy?
-
Sad Memories
Carlos Light
Kira is a very kind girl, even though she seems, um... What's the word... "Strict"! She agreed to help me recover my memory. But this will also require your help in finding things related to my most important memories: memories of my family. Help me find my Double Ring, the foundation of family life.
Two rings from thie one: the first is mine, and the second belonged to my late wife. I'd like to always remember her. Lora was a wonderful woman...
-
Scavengers' Gathering Place
Carlos Light
To find out where the criminals went, we need to collect everything they mentioned in the recording. On the tape, they were talking about the "gathering place for scavengers." Scavengers are a special group in the City who go through the fog. They're known for their inventions. By the way, I had a stalker monocle somewhere...
I studied this monocle once. I thought about using its lens for anti-fog lights, but nothing came of it. Now we'll put the monocle to good use.
-
Marked by a Sign
Kira Woodville
We'll soon find out what happened on the night of the theft. We need to find something with the same sign as the one on Carlos Light's hand, then find out why he changed his route on the day the crystals were stolen. Look, the same sign is depicted on that wall. Maybe there's something there? Let's take a look.
What a compact safe! On its bottom, the same lamp symbol is displayed. This is clearly the thing that we need. But how will we find the code for the lock? Hmm, why is there a half-erased number here? What does it mean?
-
Drawing Experiments
Mr. Black
The case of the theft has become more complicated. Carlos Light couldn't have committed the theft while he was unconscious. But changing his route is suspicious, so he could be an inside man. Let's copy the sign from his hand while it's still there and look for something with the same marking.
The sign is almost erased, but I can just make it out. It looks like a lamp. Hmm, who would've doubted. A lamplighter, a lamp... I hope this isn't just a pretty picture.
-
Information Integrity
Mr. Black
It's common practice among lamplighters to make marks and signs for themselves. But his memory won't recover simply by looking at the symbol. We need to find something else marked with it. There will be information about why Carlos Light changed his route near it. Let's draw the sign first. Surely there's paper in the post office...
Carlos Light! Give me your hand. Keep it straight so that we can see the sign clearly.
-
Crucial Recording
Mr. Black
I want to figure out what happened on the night of the theft and who is to blame. But an empty tape recorder only confirms Carlos Light's guilt. Why did he hide the tape? The box is full of reels. It'll take time to find the right one. Your help wouldn't hurt.
The date on this reel coincides with the date the lamp crystals were stolen. So this is the one! We need to listen to the recording and write down everything we hear.
-
Tricky Lock
Rayden Storke
We're getting closer to finding out what happened on the night of the theft. I know how to open the box of tape recorder reels: I helped Carlos make it. As I recall, a copy of the key was made for the Security Service. If we're lucky, it may still be in the post office.
Yes, that's the key! Since the box of lamplighters' records contains crucial information, the lock was designed to be tricky. We're very lucky to find the key.
-
Unexpected Find
Mr. Black
The crystals have been stolen, and the suspect remembers nothing. He did record his entire shift with a tape recorder though. This is our chance to find out what happened. Let's look around: maybe there's a box of reels somewhere. Surely the one we need will be among them.
The City is on your side after all. I wouldn't have found this tiny box of reels alone. But it's locked, and I don't see a key nearby...
-
Vindication Opportunity
Carlos Light
I knew where the crystals where. And I actually patrolled near the post office on the night of the theft. But what happened? My body is full of bruises, and my head is in a mist... I remember! On patrols, I always take my Tape Recorder. Find it, the records will shed light on this case.
I remember this recorder... I'm sure I turned it on that night to record everything. But where is the tape? There's only empty reels here... Has this all been for nothing?
