Wind Speed
Alex
Another instrument we'll need to bring abroad our aerial vessel is a Cup Anemometer.
Do you know what the Anemometer is for? It's for measuring wind speed, of course. This way we'll be able to determine which way the sind blows us. And if we keep a close eye on it all the time, we'll always know our position.
-
Invincible Hero
Isabelle
The ancient Greeks also valued the virtue of courage. Its personification was Hercules; an unstoppable warrior that battled evil and laboured tirelessly. His weapon was a club that destroyed vices. can you find the Statue of Hercules?
All of Hercules' life was a battle. Defeating, subduing and destroying all the monsters that represented vices. The Statue of Hercules wears the skin of a Nemean lion whilst holding the club, that symbolises crushing force and destruction. It will add true beauty to the City.
-
Measuring Altitude
Alex
I read in a manual that safety when flying a Hot-Air Balloon depends on several navigational instruments. One of them is the Altimeter, or altitude meter. We need to get hold of one.
The Altimeter will be essential to us. You can only take a Hot-Air Balloon up to a certain height. If you go heigher, a catastrophe is inevitable.
-
Looking into the Distance
Alex
I had another idea. While we fly through the sky in our Hot Air Balloon, we might see some new unknown regions of the City; if the fog openes up for a moment. We should take a Spyglass along so we don't miss anything important at a very high altitude. Find one.
Fantastic! A powerful lens, elegant carving... This Spyglass was made by a true master craftsman. Now we can watch not only the land and its outline, but the roads and tracks as well.
-
Drawing a Circle
Alex
A Vernier Caliper can't be used in cartography without a Pair of Compasses. We'll need to find a pair.
My expectations were correct. A Pair of Compasses without any extravagances, as if straight out of the Middle Ages.
-
Cause of the catastrophe
Detective
To find out what happened in the cockpit before the crash, we have to find the "black box", which actually looks like a bright orange ball. Everything is recorded into the black box for protection in case of a crash. I... also have a personal favor to ask. I saw a life vest in the cockpit - it would be useful to Juliette, who's scared of water.
A life vest! How did you know about my problem? A friend? He has my gratitude. Indeed, I'm scared of large bodies of water. This phobia has grown since the medium mentioned a flood and I can't sleep peacefully. Once I close my eyes it's like a black wave is swallowing me and I'm drowning. If I sleep with this vest it may fix my phobia.
-
Secret code
Conductor
Of course I'll help. Thanks to you I have my "joy" back again. I used to like deciphering, even created a small decryption machine. Haven't used it in a long time and hid it in City Hall.
Hello, old friend! I last used this machine a long time ago. We need to connect up the dictaphone... Here, it's working.
-
Squeak and knock
Detective
We have to search for a dictaphone at the Station, near the nose of the plane where we found Hughes's photograph. But be careful, it's dark and the City's not even safe during the day.
Look, a dictaphone, exactl like the Book of Memory showed us. Turn it on! do you hear that noise? Clicks, static... some kind of a rhythm. The recording is encrypted, how can we decrypt it? The Conductor once told me he was fond of deciphering; we should ask him.
-
Book of Memory
Detective
Martha says we'll learn about the item in Hughes's pocket if we use the Book of Memory. This book reads the lost item's images and shows them. Martha has business to attend so we have to find the book in the Room of Fate ourselves. Night is falling so it will be hard to find, but we can't postpone our search till morning.
What an interesting book; the huge gem on its cover looks like a sapphire. What? It refuses to open. Maybe we should place the photo on the gem. See, it opens by itself and there's a picture of a dictaphone. That's what we have to find at the crash site!
-
Straight Lines
Alex
To draw the map, we'll need some cartography tools. The simplest of them is the Vernier Caliper. Find one, please, and I'll think about what else we'll need.
You managed to provide the simplest of measuring instruments with a multitude of additional functions. It's astounding.
-
Crocheting
Juliette
Mon cheri! I made an excellent Lace Napkin! Even the Mistress liked it, which is rare. Now I'm going to learn how to crochet. But I'll need a Crochet Hook and some sort of sample - I can't understand anything just by looking at the pictures. Will you find them for me?
I'm going to try and finish this star-shaped sample today. The guide says that crocheting is very easy. I'm going to check this statement in practice soon.
-
Lacework
Juliette
I put in a whole lot of work, but I never managed to make a Beaded Butterfly. I'm ashamed to show what I ended up with. This is why I decided to try and master another craft for now - lacework. Please find me something simple as a sample - like a Lace Napkin.
I'm looking at this Lace Napkin and having doubts. Will I manage to do something like this too? Maybe lacework isn't for me?
-
Threading Beads
Juliette
I want to show you something! I learned how to stich really quickly. Now I want to start on bead weaving. I saw an example of it in the guide - it was called a Beaded Butterfly. Do you think you could find a similar one? I'll try to copy it.
No picture, no matter how good, could convey the beauty of this finished work. This Beaded Butterfly is lovely. I'll try as hard as I can to make a similar one.
-
Insidious Basilisk
Juliette
Because of the plane crash I cannot perform the errand Mistress entrusted me with; I feel I'm in trouble. When the plane fell I was polishing her favorite Basilisk statuette near the Manor Gates. I was so surprised I dropped it then ran to the crash site. when I returned I looked for a long time but the statuette is nowhere to be found. I wonder if the Mistress put a spell on it so I can only see silhouettes near the Manor Gates. How will I find the Basilisk?
Here it is, this insidious basilisk. Thank you so much for your help. Sorry, but I have to hurry; Mistress may be angry with my absence.
-
Stitch to Stitch
Juliette
After reading the guide a little, I understood that it's easiest to learn how to cross-stitch. I just don't know where to get the special "Aida" Fabric. I'll be very grateful if you could help me find it. You can also choose the pattern that you want.
Thanks a lot! The fabric is of excellent quality and I love the pattern. You have great artistic taste! No wonder Martha praised you as an artist.
-
If a girl asks
Conductor
Do you know Valerie? She's a girl from around here, very curious and active. I like her, though she can be very annoying. I'll acquaint you later but I want to ask a favor, first. Valerie says there's music at the crash site as if a music player is turned on. If it's true, can you get it for me? If not, she'll torment us even more.
That's it; now Valirie will leave me alone. Look, there's Juliette and she looks depressed. Someone else is in need of help.
-
Famous owner of a photo
Martha
You're right, the photograph has a strange aura that's hiding something from view. To solve it we need a revealing solution. Look for it in City Hall.
The revealing solution! That's just what we need. Let's apply it to the photograph... Look! Ah, a face is showing through the image of the UFO. I'm sure it's the photograph's owner due to his aura being imprinted on it. Wait, I recognise him!
-
Cup of Coffee
Conductor
What's all this chaos in my Station? The nose of a plane is here, the tail is there, belongings are everywhere and this smoke makes my throat dry so I cannot talk properly. Maybe you could bring me some coffee? Martha, the medium, has some great coffee.
Just what I need! I'd have preferred something stronger, but coffee will do.
-
Mysterious Plane Crash
Juliette
A few city residents have gathered around the plane that crashed on the Station. They're pretty excited - such a thing has never happened before. Oddly, this crash coincided with your arrival, though I personally see no connection. There's to much smoke... Do you see that oxygen mask? It'll help us cope with all the smoke, could you fetch it?
This mask is very useful - it'll make examining the crash site much easier. Look, here comes the Conductor.
-
Flame of Passion
Huntress
The fire-breathing dragon that appeared in the mirror could scare anyone, not just a sissy like Juliette. I can imagine which qualities might be in the dragon's fiery nature! Find its embodiment in the temple. Hurry up!
You did it! This vessel holds an inextinguishable flame. Dragons, which have conquered the element of fire, are dangerous and can cause not only fires, but even the eruption of volcanoes. The heat of the soul and the pursuit of perfection - these are the qualities that lead sucu dragons to success, but also make them a bit pompous.
-
Crushing Steel
Isabelle
We're all in danger - the Dark Dragon is about to awaken. Only the Chosen One, who possesses the same qualities as the mighty serpent, can tame it. Steel, silver, gold - are any of these in the dragon's armour? Search the temple for a clue about which quality gives the dragons their metallic nature.
Excellent! This vessel contains the dragon's qualities - common metals. A brilliant mind, perseverance and the desire to achieve goals makes them holders of the inevitable, like the stroke of a blade.
-
Rock Hard
Cardsharp
Here's what the Keeper says about the first test: "To stop the dragon, the Chosen One must be like him. Once every 12 years, when its time arrives, the dragon takes one of its guises associated with one of the five elements. To begin, search the temple for a clue about the qualities the Dragon's nature embodies."
Look, the dragon's earthly nature is contained in this vessel. These dragons, with serpent-like faces, embody their own strength and firm principles. They are connected to the earth and are able to control its expanse, causing earthquakes. Powerful creatures...
-
Wisdom and Patronage
Isabelle
You said that the City was full of Demons of Vice? Maybe we shouldn't try and catch them. Might it be better to just force these creatures to leave and go far away ourselves? Let's place some statues of Greek gods that symbolise various aspects of virtue. The demons will feel uncomfortable in their presence and will run away. Let's take Athena, the goddess of wisdom, cities and states as an example. Help us to find her statue.
Athena is depicted with a spear because she's also the goddess of organized warfare and military strategy. This warrior-woman is just right for us - after all, we are at war with the Demons of Vice.
-
Fears are Confirmed
Cardsharp
My dear friend, I didn't want to bother you about what I've seen but... In the Temple there is a bell held by the statue of a Dragon! Don't laugh, I heard words in the ringing bells. They're probably the chilling prophecy about the City's destruction... Bring me this bell and we can listen together.
It's the dragon's bell for sure. Do you hear it? "Tremble! At the Spring Festival the mighty ruler - the Dragon - will rise above the world! All living things shall bow before it, and the unfaithful will shudder..." You call this 'wise and fair'? And you didn't believe me... A protective shield to all of us.
-
Peaceful Balance
Martha
The Eastern Temple didn't appear in the city on the eve of the Chinese New Year by accident. However, I just can't believe that a dragon - a wise and majestic creature - wants to rise above all others... There should be a Zodiac of animals in the temple. Find it!
Excellent. You found the Zodiac. You can see here that each year, one of the zodiac animals becomes the main animal. They follow each other in sequence, and the dragon is one of them. The dragon is the strongest of all but thanks to its wisdom it doesn't want to rule, which is why it keeps its power in check.
-
Practice Meditation
Huntress
Mein herr, did you forget about the Cardsharp's prophecy about the dragon that threatens the City? We're now in the magical Eastern Temple, and I'm sure there are items here that will help make sense of this prophecy. For instance, look for Singing Bowls. Their voices can tell many secrets to anyone who knows how to listen.
Do you hear the voices of the Singing Bowls? Their song is about a dragon that slumbers in this temple. I'm sorry, but they say nothing about what awaits the City of Shadows on the eve of this year's Spring Festival.
-
Image of the Magisterium
Isabelle
But why did this temple appear in the City? Examine everything carefully. We need to find some kind of unique artifact connected to this place. Look for a magical stone amulet.
Can you believe what you've found? This image of the Pearl of Wisdom, the Chintamani, is similar to the Philosopher's Stone. It holds the secret to peace, harmony and immortality. I'm now certain that this temple is from Shangri-La. A place of eternal life where there is no death, just long sleep.
-
Collect the Ash
Cardsharp
Now, talking of ashtrays, I propose looking for something special, possibly handmade, with a beautiful picture.
You got everything right. You could just stand by this ashtray and admire its decorations.
-
Cut a Cigar
Cardsharp
Basically, I've become a bit absentminded as I'm so busy with the gaming business. I ordered some cigars, and you fulfilled this request. However, I didn't think to order a Cigar Cutter. You will have to correct my mistakes.
That's really good. The simpler and sharper the better. The cutter shouldn't be covered in diamonds,, or they might steal it.
-
Magical Mantra
Detective
My friend, we have to find out who this temple is dedicated to. Intuition tells me that the dragon statue at the entrance, and the Cardsharp's prophecy are somehow connected. In the City of Shadows, such coincidences aren't accidental. Find something that indicates where in the City this temple came from.
What a find! It's a Buddhist prayer wheel. Look how it hovers in the air by itself! It obviously couldn't do that without magic. This temple must be from some magical place in Tibet.
-
Fire in the Pocket
Cardsharp
I have another little request. You found some cigar matches earlier. They're good for pipes as well. However, some visitors can't do without a Lighter for cigarettes. Will you bring one?
Looks like a rare Lighter of some kind. It also looks like it's set with real precious stones. Everyone will be so surprised.
-
Tobacco Storage
Cardsharp
I'd also like to ask you to find some tobacco. I think you'll need to gather a lot of different types to please all of the visitors. I think they'll also need to be immediately put into a pouch. They will keep better and can be carried around if needed.
You haven't just found some elite tobacco, you also found a handmade, exclusive pouch. Excellent.
-
Smoking Pipe
Cardsharp
There are many details to think of in order to create the right kind of atmosphere in a gentlemen's smoking club. First, we need some pipes made out of valuable woods. Could you find at least one for me?
You're really quick on the uptake. There are brier, pear and oak pipes in the collection! There's even a meerschaum pipe. We'll have something to surprise the most sophisticated of visitors.
-
Soldier of the Ocean
Detective
It's time to find the last statue - the soldier of fourtune... It's difficult to imagine who it might be. It must be a fish that can swim without rest for a long time, with excellent camouflage and weaponry... Hmm... What could it be armed with? It could be an Electric Ray! Find an Electric Ray statue!
What a beauty this enchanted Electric Ray is! A real soldier of fortune! We've been very productive. We should visit Martha as soon as we can.
-
Personal Guard
Detective
The next enchanted servant of the Lord of the Sea is his bodyguard. Could it be a Shark? I don't think so. It's someone else. Someone that's invisible, that you wouldn't recognise as a guard for the sea lord... I know! It's the Siren! Find the Siren statue.
Who would think that this gorgeous sea lady could use her beauty to beguile and cloud minds with her voice? It seems that when they talk of a killer beauty they're speaking of Sirens. Our search has been a success so far.
-
Floating Postman
Detective
It will be easier going forward now that we know how the Lord of the Sea assigns duties. I can even guess who's the postman. It's the Dolphin! With his speed it would be an express delivery!
You deserve every praise again. We found a statue of the Dolphin - the postman of the sea.
-
Adviser from the Ocean
Detective
Don't you think that the adviser to the sea king would be an Octopus? One that is wise cunning, and always hiding in his master's shadow. Shall we try and find it?
We're doing great! I was right. The adviser is an Octopus. But why is it golden? Maybe it's because of the sorcery?
-
Marine Labourer
Detective
Of all the sea servants that Martha mentioned, I can only imagine one - the Labourer. Like a ploughman or workhorse... I got it. The Labourer is a seahorse. We need to find a statue of a seahorse.
Martha was telling the truth - this is not a stone statue. It's an enchanted Seahorse. Well then, worker, we'll take the enchantment off you. We just need to find your fellows in misfortune first.
-
Broken Hopes
Rayden Storke
Soon I will find out what happened to Jay. But we need one more item for Miss Martha's ritual. When Jay went mad, I tried to stop him. He pounched on me and knocked the lantern out of my hand. Find this lantern and we'll know the whole truth.
I never thought I'd see these shards again... When Jay broke my lantern, I left the Fellowship - there were no spare ones at the time.
-
Self-writing Pen
Valerie
It seems the Conductor has told us everything he knows. But I've thought of what to do next - a magical self-writing pen will point us to the next autograph.
Crazy little thing. Martha insists that this self-writing Pen knows the answer to every question.
-
A Feather in His Cap
Rayden Storke
When something inexplicable happened to my friend Jay, I was right next to him. Suddenly, for no reason at all, it was like he went mad! He ripped off the lamplighter badge he was so proud of, and broke it. Find this badge.
I couldn't believe that Jay broke his precious badge. Then when I tried to stop him, he hit me...
-
In Search of Information
Valerie
We can't assemble the missing autographs until we find out who they belonged to. the Conductor has been in the City for a long time. For a bottle of wine, he'll tell us whose signature to look for next.
This bottle of wine looks like it should do the trick. I hope we didn't put all that effort into finding it for nothing.
-
Talented Inventor
Rayden Storke
The magic from your part of the City will lift the veil on Jay's disappearance. He was not only zealous but also an inventor of useful tools. Jay made special respirators for the fellow lamplighters. Find the one he made for me.
Jay improved ordinary respirators so that we could breathe for longer in the fog This saved many from memory loss.
-
Diligent Colleague
Rayden Storke
My friend Jay left the Fellowship and I've always wondered why. After all, he was a very diligent colleague. Jay didn't just patrol regularly, he worked more than the others! Find his pedometer to prove it.
Each lamplighter had to patrol their territory. But Jay used to go around the whole City; he often covered for others, too. With his disappearance, the Fellowship lost a valuable member.
-
The Waiting Room Quest
Valerie
Night fell upon the Station of Forgotten Dreams. In the City it isn't just a time of da; darkness thickens suddenly over a house or a section of the City. Night complicates the search for items but offers a chance to find rare artifacts. Could you please find my teddy bear? I dropped it at the Station.
Ah, here's my bear! Right under my nose! We missed it serveral times in the darkness. He's in one piece, but a little dusty.
-
Dark Elegance
Isabelle
I was certain that outsiders couldn't enter Jack's realm. But the discovery of glasses with blood inside says that a vampire couple are freely walking around here. Look around, maybe they left something else behind. Hopefully you won't find anything worse.
Show me. It's a woman's headband! What an elegant little thing. It's decorated with a bat. I don't recall anyone who has worn something like that. A beautiful headband, but there is something repulsive and dark about it.
-
One of Many
Rayden Storke
To find out what happened to my friend Jay, we need to find his belongings related to the incident. As the City's chosen one, I'm sure your talents will be useful here. Let's start with the symbol of the Fellowship of Lamplighters. Jay was very proud when he was accepted into the Fellowship, and his lamplighter patch was very important to him. Let's find it.
You've managed to find the Lamplighter Patch! All lamplighters have one with their name on the back. Now I really believe that we'll find out what happened to him.
-
Spartacus's Daring
Mayor
While we're gathering up things from the brave heroes, we can't forget about the gladiator slave who broke the Roman legiouns. I'm of course referring to Spartacus. Find the Thracian sica and you'll understand how only a fearless warrior can wield it.
The sword's unusual curve was specially designed that way. The sica was used to strike enemies hiding behind shields.
-
Indian Valour
Mayor
The Native American's had a brave man of their own. You'll need to find the Headdress of Military Fortune, which belonged to the Indian chief Geronimo.
It's easy to see from this headdress that Geronimo was a remarkable warrior.
-
Help from the Homeland
Martha
Where's Jack? With each passing minute I become more worried about the Halloween Spirit. I feel like something bad has happened. All the things that we've found so far have a dark aura. Bring me some of the decorations, I'll try to make sense of it. For example, bring me that strange pumpkin.
Even for Halloween the pumpkin's grimace looks frightening. And what's inside it? Dirt from Transylvania! according to legend, vampires gain strength from the dirt in which they were buried. It seems that we're dealing with Dracula.
-
Alexander's Courage
Mayor
The next item belonged to a legendary man - the unconquerable general Alexander the Great. Find his royal seal.
According to legend, Alexander never took off this ring, so it constantly absorbed the general's courage.
-
All Bets Are Down
Cardsharp
We also need a more serious game for real players. I'm talking about roulette! Do you know the thrill of playing roulette? Your heart pounds and skips a beat... Then when you win, you jump for joy and are ready to make more and more bets. I propose that we put a roulette table right by the craps table. Let the visitors choose where to play.
Thanks to you, my dreams are coming true very quickly. Only a few are able to continue to play after roulette. But these few are unique talents!
-
Odysseus's Bravery
Mayor
Find the bow and arrow of Odysseus. Legends of his bravery and courage have been with us for many centuries.
Odysseus's Bow hasn't lost its quality over the years. They knew how to make things last in t he good ancient times.
-
Sweets Lovers
Isabelle
Today, I'll tell you about the boggarts. They're the most harmless anomalies in the city. They love mischief, petty thieving and driving the townspeople insane. Did you hear all the commotion at the station? That's the boggarts pestering the Conductor. They carried off his favorite flask. Move carefully and the boggarts won't cause you any harm.
These little beasties do have a sense of humour - hiding the Conductor's flask in such a way. Now it's quiet again at the Station all the boggarts have left.
-
Warning
Cardsharp
A mummy appeared in the City, you say? Of course! The smell of decay, the swish of bandages, the sound of shuffling feet... Why didn't I think of that? The guy I lost to was looking for inexpensive, ancient Egyptian trinkets. So he decided to make a cat's paw out of me - what a beast! Now a monster runds about the City through his fault! We hould warn the Detective so he can look for it, too. He's a law enforcement officer, after all. Maybe you could tell him?
A mummy?! That's dangerous - why didn't you tell me at once? I'd think it was bloody Halloween if w weren't in the City. Let's return to the Sewers and hope it didn't get too far yet. On the way we can decide how to fight it.
-
Group Game
Cardsharp
I propose that we should have a separate room with a table for playing Craps. Many players will be able to play at the same time. I'm sure that you support this idea.
I was not mistaken about you, dear friend! I'm sure that the excitement of Craps will make players look for a more serious game.
-
Remnants of a Picnic
Conductor
I noticed a couple of glasses on the edge of the fountain. Weird, isn't it? It's believed to be impossible to enter here. Not a soul around, but someone was drinking out of glasses? Bring the glasses and take a closer look at them.
Ah, the glasses! I'm scared just taking them in my hands. And what's in them? Wine? Hmm, it's blood in the glass! It seems that real vampires have appeared in the City of Shadows. And did you notice traces of lipstick on one of the glasses?
-
Means of Transportation
Huntress
I'm very worried about why Jack didn't show up. And this whole atmosphere around us: whispering, the sound of footsteops... I turn around, but nobody's there. It's creepy here. Also, I noticed Jack's cape by the trees. Maybe the Spirit himself is there? Bring the cape, we'll examine it.
How odd. What you found is not a cape. It's wings, like the wings of a bat. I've never seen such huge wings. What sort of creature might they belong to?
-
Something's Wrong
Valerie
It's strange... the Halloween Spirit invited us to his realm, but he hasn't shown up. Let's look around, it's possible Jack left some couse? Pumpkins, candles, skulls,... All traditional decorations for Halloween, but I think I noticed Jack's knife at the fountain. Bring it, please.
Lo and behold, it really is Jack's knife. And what's on the brade? Wow, it's blood! Why is there blood on Jack's knife? What a discovery.
-
Empty Station
Alex
It's very kind of you to see me here - I always get lost in unfamiliar cities. The Conductor is not at the Station, could you wait with me? I'd like to look around in case something awakens my memories. When you remember nearly nothing about yourself, it's weird...
I found a broken guitar between the railroad ties. Something's scrathec on the fingerboard: "Alex". It reminds me of... it's mine! Perhaps I'm a musician? Then where did I get the money for an expensive car? Someone's coming... Is that the Conductor? I don't remember him. Please talk to him.
-
I'll be in Luck
Cardsharp
If someone has come to play, we must provide them with everything that they haven't even thought of. For example, there's a little Blackjack box by the Lottery and the Slot Machines. The visitors will want to test their luck... I can see that you understand and support me.
Brilliant. Blackjack is the first stage of increasing bets.
-
A New Entertainment
Cardsharp
Oh, by the way, about the Mayor. I think he'll be very happy to see something from his past. I propose that we put a Slot Machine in the hall of the bowling club. Retro-style, of course. This will cheer up the Mayor, attract visitors and increase income. Or should I say, our income...
How grand! How absolutely grand! This ancient one-armed bandit belongs in a museum! Hopefully we'll manage to get a bit of a profit from it.
-
Lucky Ticket
Cardsharp
Now I understand that you can't earn much with bowling. An entry ticket and some drinks are the only sources of income. I thought about how to raise the profitability of the venue and I had an idea. Why don't we set up a casino in the neighboring hall? You must admit, it's a genius idea. Help me to organise this and I'll be in your debt. First, you will need a lottery ticket. Where could a working Lottery Machine be found?
You're doing magic. I'm sure that the income into the City treasury, even from the sales made by the Lottery Machine, will even make the Mayor accept this new plan.
-
Amnesia
Alex
I'm so glad you're here! I started to think I was invisible - people passed by paid no attention to my call. Where am I? I came round next to my broken car... I hit the statue and lost consciousness. I don't remember anything else... What's this city? And my name?!
Money... guns... I don't remember anything; it's not mine after all! You found a torn driving license issued in the name of Alex... I vaguely remember the name and the picture resembles me. Let's assume I'm Alex. Hold on... There's a note in the license. "Don't trust the Conductor." Who's he? I think I should meet the author of this note.
-
Mirror Glass
Martha
You've gathered all the pices of the mirror's frame. We're just missing the mirror's glass. It is tempered with such strong magic that it can resist even the Gorgon's gaze. Find the mirror glass.
Not a single crack or chip has appeared on the mirror glass in hundreds of years I can feel the magical waves emanating from its surface. It was created by a mighty magician.
-
Castle Gate
Martha
One more step and we'll be able to enter Jack's realm. We've come here at our own peril and can only rely on ourselves. Go on in, don't be scared!
Here we are in the realm of the Halloween Spirit... A blue-grey haze has fallen to the ground, and the pointed spires on the turrests of Jack's Castle prop up the heavy sky. Silent guardians of stone stand on either side of the bridge leading into the inner sanctum of the Halloween Spirit. Unbelievable! We're the first people allowed to enter here!
-
Important Trifles
Cardsharp
Great... We have food and drink fo the Easter picnic. But we can't eat it all with our hands! And where will we sit? On the cold ground? It's a good thing Cardsharp is here. I've taken care of such accessories for the picnic - a plaid blanket, plates and napkins. I collected it all, your task is to bring it. Can you do that?
You see, it wasn't hard to bring the accessories for the picnic. I worked a lot harder collecting them all. I'll go lie on the plaid blanket and rest from my labours.
-
Drinks for the Picnic
Conductor
All the townspeople are so anxious about the preparations for the picnic that I had to help. I made an excellent Refreshing Punch. You'll find my drink right across the Bridge.
Here's the punch! Want to give it a taste? Just a few drops...
-
Spring Treats
Juliette
The Easter picnic is one of my favourite traditions in the City of Shadows. I admit, I spent long winter evenings thinking about how to surprise the Spirit of Spring this year. I've made an outstanding dessert. Look for it over the Bridge.
Well, what do you think of my dessert? It's not only tasty, it's also very beautiful. I tried to make it reminiscent of the coming spring.
-
Fresh Greens
Isabelle
Have you already started preparing for the spring picnic? Great! I want to make a little contribution in the form of a salad of Fresh Greens. The dish is already done, I left it on the other side of the Bridge. Bring it to the park, to the picnic spot. You can do that easily, right?
Here's the Spring Salad. Mmm... It smells of spring and freshness!
-
Dazzling Luxury
Mr. Black
Delamode did his best: in his Atelier, even the doorknob is luxurious. But if he's involved in a crime, his wealth won't help him escape any repercussions. The door isn't locked: the counturier's ready to receive customers. Let's go in without knocking and take him by surprise!
The atmosphere of wealth reigns in the Atelier Delamode. Why did such a wealthy man like the couturier risk his position and reputation by violating the curfew? Let's figure out what kind of secret he keeps in a conspicuously expensive wrapper.

Main Dish
Martha
You and Valerie always arrive first. Now down to business - this is no simple picnic we need to organise. If it all works out, the Spirit of Spring will visit us at the end of the celebration, which is very important! She brings the power to wake nature from its wintery slumber. You want spring to come soon, don't you? Then help us do this Easter picnic properly. We have to put all the warmth of our souls into its preparation. Let every townsperson make their favourite dish. I, for example, will make my best treat - a special Easter cake shaped like a lamb. Search for it across the Bridge.
Here's the main dish for the spring picnic - a traditional Easter cake in the shape of a lamb. I really hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Medusa's Head
Martha
The frame is almost assembled, but we're still missing the large central piece. It looks like it was made in the shape of Medusa's Head. Let's try to find it.
The golden Gorgon Medusa head mars the elegance of the other pieces. How could one look at such a mirror without a sense of horror?
-
Carved Ornament
Martha
We've found two parts of the mirror, but there are still more to find. If you look closely, you can see that there should be an elegantly carved ornament on the frame. Find the third part of Medusa's mirror - the Carved Ornament.
Yes! This carved ornament you've found perfectly matches the other mirror frame pieces we already have.
-
The Bravery of Hercules
Mayor
I learned from Martha that ridding the Huntress of fear is very easy, especially in the City of Shadows. We need to make a Pill of Bravery for her. It isn't too hard to make: we find things belonging to famous brave people, perform a simple ritual and the pill will be ready. You can start by finding Hercules's leather bracelet.
Are you sure this is Hercules's real bracelet? All the responsibility is on you.
-
The Last Loss
Detective
The only thing that can't be found is the Creamer. Let's have a look around. I have a very interesting version of how this all happened.
Exactly as I thought. The Creamer is just laying under the table. It looks like it wasn't even stolen, sjust hidden a little.
-
Oddities in the Investigation
Detective
This is really unusual. Circling around the crime scene, I found everything quickly. I have a feeling that the Sugar Bowl will be found by the Teacup.
So, my nose really is like a bloodhound. Just look! The Sugar bowl is almost in the same place as the Teacup. Well, just a bit further on. But why throw all this away?
-
Searching for Trifles
Detective
A lot of attention is needed when looking for the silver Jampot. It's really small and inconspicuous.
Just look at that! The Jampot was lying near to the other items that were found. What a strange thief that visited the Manor today. I'm afraid he might have had other motives than silver, and this was just a distraction.
-
The Lost Tea Kettle
Detective
What do we have next? A Tea Kettle with a stand? No problem. We'll find it right away.
And here's the silver Kettle. It was lying a little further away than the cup. Doesn't look like it's been polished, either...
-
Start of the Search
Detective
Juliette says that the Tea Set is made of pure silver. It's unlikely that the monsters in the City would go for that, especially in the Mistress's Manor. Looks like it's a real person. Time to get to work. We'll start with the Teacup and Saucer.
It didn't take much time to find this silver Teacup and Saucer. It wasn't far away either.
-
Energy Supply
Martha
We'll need a huge amount of energy to carry out the Resurrection Ritual for Alex. Look for artifacts - lots of powerful artifacts, while I carry out the last preparations.
That's great, there should be enough energy in the artifacts for the ritual. Invite Valerie and I will explain how to arrange the magical items. First, I'll start the clock with the ummoving pendulum and stop time.
-
Freeze the ghost
Martha
Resurrection magic requires an item that can temporarily freeze the Ghost. I've heard that the Huntress has a stalactite from the City dungeouns... It would really help us if you could persuade her to give it away.
The freezing stalacite! I've never seen it, I've only read about it. It's exactly what we need. Keep it far away from the fire darts.
-
Magical Flash
Martha
We need Magical Gunpowder for the ritual. I think there's definitely some in the City. We will use fire darts to make it burn.
We have the Magical Gunpowder! You're even better at searching than Detective himself!
-
Stopping Time
Martha
To carry out the Resurrection Ritual without mistakes, we need to take our time. We must stop time for this. Bring me a clock with a pendulum that has stopped.
So that's what the clock that can stop time looks like... Excellent, you're a talented discoverer!
-
Coalescing the Ghost
Martha
We need a magical mist to come together to bring Alex back to life. But we can only get it through the careful arrangement of certain amulets. First, bring me the Embalming Oil.
Have you brought a whole flask of Embalming Oil? It's an important ingredient for the ritual.
-
Catch an Aura
Martha
Alex's spiritual core is out of balance. I can bring Alex into our world for a while, but it will depend on how much energy he has left. Valerie will also need to see what magical artifacts and energy she can share with him. But you must remember - she'll be in danger of becoming a ghost herself. If you want to help, try and find a Ghost Trap. There are many in the City.
We have the Ghost Trap. But this is only the beginning. Get someone to help in your search.
-
Golden Filigree
Martha
The beauty of the ruby incrustation is a sign that the other parts of the mirror are just as elegant. Find the second part of Medusa's mirror - the Golden Filigree.
What a spectacular thing. Imagine how rich the mirror's creator must have been!
-
Men's Sneakers
Cardsharp
And you, dear friend, should try and find something that looks like Sneakers. There's also a compulsory requirement for the sole to be non-slippery and to have a low heel.
Just the ticket. If we have more of this kind of footwear we colud rent it out for a small fee. It will be an additional charge, of course.
-
Shoes for the Players
Cardsharp
While you were looking for the Balls, I looked through the instructions for assembling the lanes and playing games. It turns out that the lanes are covered with a special type of varnish and the players need to wear special footwear. Now that's something I never thought of. I'm pinning my hopes on you - you're legendary at searching.
You think you can take a run-up and throuw a ball in these shoes? Hmm... You have an interesting view of sport. These are women's shoes for an evening walk. I think I'll keep these for myself - maybe I can give them to someone as a gift. Juliette or even the Huntress, if it comes to it. Or maybe I could risk it and give them to the Mistress? Anything's possible.
-
Scrying with Balls
Cardsharp
In Germany, knocking over pins was actually considered to be a religious ceremony. Every believer would come to the church with their pins, place them in the gallery and throw a ball at them, which was provided by a priest. It was thought that the more pins the churchgoer knocked over the more righteous their life had been. We could also do with getting some Balls for the game.
Did you really find all of this in the luggage compartment? The Balls are brand new. I'm really bad at noticing large and heavy objects... At least I didn't have to drag them around.
-
Bowling Ball Target
Cardsharp
Do you know the history of bowling? They say that they knocked over pins with balls even in Ancient Egypt. By the way, we also need some pins.
This is really lovely. Let's count them: one, two... then. Ten pins - that's one full set. Excellent!
-
A Mirror for Victory
Martha
If you still intend to return to the Manor's past, you will need to know how to defeat the Gorgon and its withering gaze. There's a special mirror that can protect you, but the Mistress broke it and hid the pieces in the darkest recesses of the City. The first part won't be hard to find thanks to the ruby encrusted in it. It shines with a bloody light.
The beautiful ruby incrustation, from the frame of the Gorgon Medusa's mirror, has been found.
-
Handsome Jack
Isabelle
Search for the final missing card from the Deck of Images - the Jack of Hearts. Juliette says this might be difficult because it's the Detective, so finding him won't be easy.
That's the Jack of Hearts that Juliette divined on. Somehow he doesn't really resemble the Detective. Or is it my biased opinion? In any case, it's good that all the cards have been found.
-
New Entertainment
Cardsharp
I was recently out for a stroll on the platforms by the site of the plane crash, and I found an old newspaper with an article about the blowling world championships. I had an amazing idea about organising a championship like that in our City, especially as it turned out that we have packed up blowling lanes in the luggage compartment. We just need to choose a place to install them. Unfortunately I didn't find a Pinspotter - it's a special mechanism for stopping and returning the ball and resetting the pins.
How did I manage to lose such a huge box with a Pinspotter? I have no idea. It's probably heavy too. Well, I shouldn't have to drag around anything too heavy...
-
Courageous Club
Isabelle
The Huntress was the Queen of Clubs when Juliette divined with the Deck of Images. Look for the Queen of Clubs in the most dangerous places in the City. The Huntress can always be found there.
Well done! Bring the Queen of Clubs here! Look, she's the spitting image of the Huntress! Is she okay? That's good, she's tough as nails. It's time to gather up the whole Deck of Images and safely hide it. Hold on, where's the Jack of Hearts?
-
Fifth Piece
Huntress
One last item remains... the armoured glove. I can't say that a different fate awaited its wearer. This glove is the only piece of the poor man's armour that remained intact.
Perfect, we have the last item we need - the armoured glove. Now we'll see if the old legends lie or speak the truth.
-
A Terrible Fate
Huntress
The werewolf leader flew into a rage from being tricked. The frightened Mayor asked a blacksmith to create a heavy-duty breastplate for protection; but as you've no doubt already guessed, by morning both the blacksmith and the breastplate had disappeared. The breastplate must be somewhere around here.
Look, there's a trace of dried blood on this breastplate! I fear it was unable to protect the poor blacksmith from his terrible fate.
-
An Unsuccessful Trap
Huntress
In revenge, the Mayor decided to poison the werewolf leader. He made a trap with a cup full of poison and spread the rumour that there was a potion in the cup that could turn any werewolf back into a human. By morning, the cup had gone, but no one had seen the thief. Find this cup.
I suspected that the werewolf leader may have stolen the cup, but that the poison didn't harm him. This empty cup proves it!
-
A Silver Mockery
Huntress
The second item is a silver medallion. It displays a portrait of the Mayor's mother. The werewolf leader created it to mock the Mayor. Why would it mock him, you ask? Because it was made from the silver bullets with which the citizens tried to kill the werewolf leader.
The Mayor has promised many times to reward the person who takes the medallion from the leader. Well. if we're going to get the crown, why not give the old ghost a nice surprise?
-
Restless Diamond
Isabelle
We must find all the missing cards from the Deck of Images urgently. After all, they could change a person's fate! Most of all, I'm worried about Valerie. I think she corresponds to the Queen of Diamonds. Look for this card where this restless person loves to be.
Great! You were able to find the Queen of Diamonds from the Deck of Images and, it's true, she has Valerie's face. We made it just in time before anything bad happened to her. What sinister magic these cards have!
