Rage of the Sea’s Depths
Huntress
This sea spirit takes its duties very seriously, so don’t be surprised if it studies you carefully. In fact, the City can really benefit from its presence. When the spirit gets stronger, it will be a good defender. Will you try calling it over?
And here’s our sea spirit! Don’t mind its tiny size, it’s still growing. It... Oh, I still haven’t come up with a name for it! Do you have any ideas, mein Freund?
-
A Sleeping Mind
Rayden Storke
The werewolf who made its way to the Upper City turned out to be a scientist who contracted lycanthropy to escape from the Shadow, a monster maker and... the Huntress’s father! She wants to cure him, but for now he’s in anabiosis and isn’t dangerous. But we’re looking after him.
-
Under Surveillance
Carlos Light
The Huntress is determined to continue her father’s research to cure him of his lycanthropy. In the meantime, I’ve configured the anabiosis installation at her request and I’m ready to set the timer to infinity. There’s one more important thing to do. Can you lend me some tools?
Now everything is as it should be. I’ve put a collar with sensors on the werewolf scientist. He’ll be in anabiosis until we learn how to return werewolves to their human form, and the sensors will alert us if something changes in his state. We’ll have to watch him. After all, he’s still a monster.
-
A Scrupulous Test
Huntress
My heart is beating like crazy. Have I really found my father alive, even if he’s in the form of a beast...? But I can’t just take a werewolf’s word for it. My father taught me the basics of his craft, so I’ll be able to do a blood test. I need a chemical analyzer.
Looks like you found the chemical analyzer that I practiced on. It’s still familiar to me, so I should be able to do the test. I’ve never had to apply my knowledge in such strange circumstances, so I’d better clarify my thoughts.
-
A Bouquet of Memories
Huntress
The werewolf says that the scent of violets confused his plans. I love violets and wear a perfume with their fragrance, but it doesn’t affect werewolves. Ah, its smell reminds him of his daughter? He keeps a book with the bunch of violets she put inside. Help me find it, mein Freund.
I know this book and this bouquet of forest violets! I once collected them myself and put them between the pages... So the scent of violets attracted the werewolf scientist’s attention. He suddenly realized that I am his daughter, and I fled to avoid a duel. Incredible!
-
Irresistible Call
Rayden Storke
Allegedly, the scientist was looking for his daughter, from whom he was separated. But he felt that his animal essence was taking over. In the end, he decided to take revenge on someone who gave him to the Shadow, and set psy-werewolves on them with the help of a whistle. He claims that the whistle is here somewhere. Can you find it?
Hmm, this psy-whistle seems real to me. They say someone in the Lower City had one... Let’s not test it though. What if the psy-werewolves hear the whistle and break into the Upper City, finding a way through the dungeons and the rift?
-
Strong Chains
Huntress
The werewolf scientist doesn’t deny that he’s connected to the Shadow Cult. He says that they forced him to make monsters for them. The Shadow held the scientist prisoner, he had no choice. The proof is his shackles. They aren’t ones used on ordinary werewolves. Let’s see.
True, the werewolf’s shackles have some special signs glowing on them. I’m not an expert like Martha, but I can make out the runes of subjugation that affect people. To weaken their influence and escape from the Shadow’s power, the scientist decided to become a werewolf.
-
Source of Horror
Rayden Storke
I suspected that something was fishy. This monster was luring us into a trap! I have a theory as to why. Have you seen an unusual lamp around here? It seems to exude not light but darkness. Have a look and find it.
Horror emanates from this lamp of darkness. When I was just a lamplighter boy, I once saw a Shadow disciple touch a lamp, which made it the same as this one. This werewolf scientist is clearly connected to the dark Cult. Will he confess what kind of ambush he was planning for us?
-
One-Way Ticket
Carlos Light
The chair is steady, the torn wires are soldered, and the broken gears have been replaced. The de-lycanthropy apparatus is ready to launch! I only need to clean the rusty key so it doesn’t jam. I’ll be quick, just lend me some tools.
I’ve started up the device. The lights came on, and the dashboard lit up. But its arrow is only pointing at the image of a human turning into a monster. No matter what I do, I can’t turn it the other way. Wait a minute... Did they make monsters here?
-
The Key Moment
Carlos Light
Almost everything is ready to transform the werewolf back into the scientist. But there’s a catch: we need a key to start the apparatus. I asked the scientist where to get it, but he says he doesn’t remember. Perhaps the animal’s nature has clouded his mind. Do me a favor, find the key.
When you brought this key, the werewolf let out such a growl that I flinched. I thought maybe the key was wrong, but it fits perfectly into the hole in the research chair’s dashboard. We’re one step away from turning the monster back into a human.
-
A Call from the Past
Huntress
It would be ideal if we could repair this chair and turn the scientist back into a human, but according to Carlos, we're missing some parts. I saw a strange toy with gears around here. Maybe we could use that part? Could you go look for it?
Danke, you found the toy made of gears. They’ll be useful for repairing the research chair. I had a similar toy as a child... Almost identical... For some reason, I see more and more things here that remind me of days long gone.
-
A Reliable Tool
Carlos Light
I’ve checked the devices and I’m sure I can fix them. We’ll turn the scientist back into a human and be able to have a normal conversation with him. After all, he scares me as a werewolf, and he gives increasingly strange instructions. Have you seen my crystal soldering iron?
Right, this soldering iron is exactly what I need. I’ll fix part of the research chair with it. The werewolves did their best here - it’s been badly damaged by claws. Maybe the process of becoming a human is unpleasant? Or do the monsters not want to be human again?
-
Commencing Transformation
Carlos Light
It’s a great idea to learn how to turn werewolves back into humans. I think with my technical background and the scientist’s knowledge, we should be able to succeed. If he was conducting experiments, he must have prepared a suitable device, something like a table or chair. Can you look for something like that?
What luck - you found the research chair! It’s big enough to fit a werewolf just fine. We’ll use it to return him to his human form. He confirmed that the chair was used for this. It doesn’t matter that the appliances on it are broken. We’ll fix them.
-
Moon Mark
Huntress
We’ll use the scientist’s work to cure his lycanthropy! Strangely, the werewolf seems to object. He says the process of transforming into a beast is irreversible. He even calculated the exact date on the astronomical calendar. Have you seen one here?
Yes, I know how to use this astronomical calendar. My father taught me as he had the same one. Hmm, I see that the next full moon is marked here. Will the scientist really become a werewolf forever so soon? Bitte, let’s hurry and help him in time!
-
Clock Is Ticking
Huntress
While Herr Lamplighter was sorting out the technicalities, I tried to understand why this place seems familiar to me. I found a cache among the books. It seems to be connected to the anabiosis device. Perhaps it’s a switch? Lend me some tools, I’ll check.
Danke, I used your tools to open the cache. There’s a timer inside! This means that the scientist puts himself into anabiosis and wakes up when the timer turns off the installation. But our manipulation has interfered with the numbers. Now only we can free the werewolf.
-
A Terrible Roar
Carlos Light
Even with the net mushrooms, I can’t turn off the anabiosis installation. But we’ll weaken it enough that the werewolf will be able to speak. Which is awkward to do, but we’ll understand his growl if we use a speech converter. I think I brought it with me. Look around.
Yes, this is my speech converter, an experimental model. I tried to understand the sounds coming from the fog at night. You know, they resemble whispers... but I haven’t been able to decipher them. It’ll be easier with a werewolf. Now I’ll set the device to his growl.
-
Increased Capacity
Rayden Storke
It’s risky to turn off the anabiosis installation, as the monster might attack. But we need information, and there’s no other way to get it. Let’s de-energize the device with some net mushrooms. Look for them, and I’ll position myself to shoot the beast, just in case.
You found the net mushrooms! But don’t hold them in your hands for too long, otherwise you’ll feel weak. My grandmother Clarissa told me that they absorb energy. I think if you add some net mushrooms to the energy absorber, you could discharge any device.
-
Energy Distribution
Carlos Light
I hope that the werewolf has something human left in him and that he’ll answer our questions. He was definitely a brilliant scientist. To come up with such an apparatus that’s impossible to turn off! I’ll try to de-energize it. Have you seen my energy absorber?
Excellent, you found my energy absorber. It’s a useful gadget. When you repair lamps, you want to remove the residual energy in them, because the crystals charging them are so powerful you can get a forceful discharge. But the device hasn’t enough capacity for the anabiosis installation.
-
Power Source
Carlos Light
If this werewolf was an outstanding scientist, I hope we can talk to him. I’d like to know more about this invention of his, the anabiosis thing. The device requires a high voltage, but I can’t find its power source. Can you help?
That’s a perfectly assembled autonomous generator! It uses crystals similar to anti-fog ones, but they’re different. They produce tons of energy. The problem is that we need to stop the generator to bring the werewolf to his senses.
-
Great Potential
Carlos Light
To get answers from the werewolf, we need to figure out how he was put into such a deep sleep. The technology used here isn’t simple. Let’s start by finding out if there’s lots of energy in this anabiosis installation. Find a voltage meter.
Thank you for finding my voltage meter. I’ve had it since the Octopus was just a scientific unit of the Security Service, and not Violet’s gang. Let’s see what potential the apparatus that keeps the werewolf in anabiosis has. Wow!
-
An Insignia
Huntress
Herr Lamplighter is right - I’ve seen a similar medallion too. Here it is, on the werewolf’s neck! Do you think the beast took it after killing its owner? But werewolves don’t collect trophies. I’ll examine the medallion and compare it with the one in the portrait. Lend me some tools, bitte.
The werewolf is still in anabiosis, so I was able to get a good look at the medallion. I feel as if I’ve seen it before... There’s no doubt: the medallion is the one in the picture. Alas, this means that the werewolf is the man in the portrait.
-
A Canvas Mystery
Carlos Light
Do you think the werewolf was lured here by the tower’s dweller? If anyone lived here, they did so in secret, because I never saw them. My memory may fail me though. Right, before I forget - I think I’ve found a portrait nearby... or rather, what’s left of it. Take a look.
The portrait was also attacked. It’s hard to recognize the man from this fragment, but he resembles the Huntress, don’t you think? Anyway, the portrait is old. Things could have changed. But I’ve recently come across a similar medallion to the one in the picture.
-
Picture of the Past
Huntress
It seems that a scientist lived in the tower, and the werewolf ran to them. Mein Freund, I have the feeling that I’ve been here before. Is it an effect of the fog? I wish we could find out what the tower’s dweller looks like. Let’s take a closer look at the paintings. Maybe we can find their portrait.
You found a broken picture frame? Hmm, it’s not just broken - a piece was bitten off by large sharp fangs. I’d say a werewolf gnawed the frame. For some reason, it clearly had a grudge against this picture. Let’s try to figure out what it showed.
-
Subject of Study
Huntress
Even if someone made a wolfberry potion in the tower, it’s unlikely that the werewolf ran to its smell. It easily turned into a monster without it, I saw it. The beast was attracted to something else, something important. Do you have any idea what it could be?
The science exhibit you found is a creepy thing. But now we know that someone was carefully studying werewolves here. I wonder why... To destroy them? Or maybe cure them? We have to find and question the tower’s dweller. They couldn’t have evaporated.
-
Looking for Victims
Huntress
The werewolf’s prints are painted red. This may mean that it rushed here to attack the tower’s dweller, and they fought each other. Look around, maybe we’ll find the victim. There seems to be a bigger blood stain over there. Check it, mein Freund.
You found a broken flask of red liquid? So that’s what colored the tracks. That’s better than finding the werewolf’s victim. The liquid is colored by some kind of fruit. These are wolfberries! As far as I know, their concentrate accelerates the transformation into a werewolf.
-
Double Tracks
Huntress
If we discover why the werewolf rushed to the tower and what happened to it, then we can solve the mystery of its behavior and save the Upper City from a monster invasion. What attracted the beast? Let’s look for pawprints. Usually they’re quite informative.
You found a very important clue - a mixture of handprint and a pawprint. I would say that this was the spot where a man turned into a monster. But the hand-paw print is painted red... Perhaps the werewolf attacked someone. Quick, we need to find out!
-
Moon Potions
Rayden Storke
The testing process isn’t the easiest, but at least we’ll know for sure if the Huntress is a werewolf. We’ll need to prepare some ingredients. I’ll give you the wolf amulet and the revolver with silver bullets for now, if you lend me your tools.
With your tools, I opened up a box of special potions for the lycanthropy test. It looks exactly as Grandma described. I hope the potions haven’t lost their potency since the Defenders’ time, and that the amulet will work. Let’s follow the instructions carefully, they’re here somewhere.
-
Sign of the Beast
Rayden Storke
It’s hard to believe that an almost dead werewolf smashed my airship. Maybe it’s been here for a long time, and the Huntress only pretends to be surprised? I have an idea how to test her for lycanthropy. We just need to find a wolf amulet. Have you seen one here?
Yep, you found the wolf amulet. My grandmother Clarissa once told me how the Defenders used it to determine if someone had contracted lycanthropy after a fight with werewolves. I wasn’t sure if this was a fairy tale or not, but since we have the amulet, we might as well check the Huntress with it.
-
The Hottest News
Huntress
The best way to prove I’m not a werewolf is to find the beast I was chasing. I followed its trail, but I lost it on the tower’s stone steps. All I’ve found so far is a stuffed monster. The real creature is still hiding, but I’ll find it. Bitte, pass me my thermal imager.
It’s easy to find ambushing werewolves with a thermal imager. Let’s see... There’s no one behind the columns, the curtains, or the stuffed monster... Oh, life is glimmering in the near dead werewolf. It’s in a deep sleep and only just alive. It’s in anabiosis! How did this happen?
-
Protective Herbs
Carlos Light
So the Huntress was flying through the fog on the outside of the airship. How did she manage to retain her memory? She says she wore a special green mask that helps her hunt down monsters in foggy neighborhoods. Let’s check out this mask.
I’ve never seen such a mask. It looks flimsy, but somehow doesn’t let the fog through. It’s made of grass and flowers, so breathing through it is even pleasant. It’s as if it refreshes your thoughts. Yes, this mask could have protected the Huntress’s memory. But if she’s a monster, she didn’t need it.
-
Flexible Force
Huntress
The werewolf jumped into the airship just as it was taking off. I couldn’t let it go to the Upper City! The monster pushed me out of the airship, but I managed to hold onto the outside of the flying aircraft with my bone whip. The whip is very strong. See for yourself.
-
A Runic Weapon
Huntress
I’m ready to prove that I’m not a monster. You see, I came to the Upper City chasing a werewolf. A pack of psy-werewolves surrounded the Manor. There was a man among them, so to protect him, I used rune-tipped arrows. Here’s one, take a look.
The runes on the arrow’s tip are still flickering. They activate upon contact with psy-werewolves, proving I had a skirmish with them recently. I managed to disperse the pack, but when I approached the man, he suddenly turned into a werewolf and ran.
-
Chasing the Unknown
Rayden Storke
Uninvited guests have arrived in the Upper City, and one of them is definitely a monster. We need to find and neutralize it. Will the Huntress help us with this, or has she become a werewolf herself? She was seen running towards the Full Moon Tower. Will we find any clues there to solve this mysterious story?
-
Regained
Huntress
We managed to create new voices for Insu and Inhyo, and they have regained control of the celestial sea. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll find the Puppeteer in one of the worlds they travel to. I wonder what happened to him.
-
A New Tide
Isabelle
Since Insu and Inhyo are regaining their power to control the celestial sea, let’s help them stop the rising storm. They haven’t yet mastered their new voices, and taming a storm isn’t easy. Will you bring some artifacts? They’ll help the twins control their voices.
Strengthened by the artifacts, Insu and Inhyo’s new voices sound steady and melodious! The storm clouds have cleared, the waves have calmed down, and the sea spirits are no longer rushing about, for the rulers of the celestial sea have expelled darkness from their hearts.
-
Homecoming
Isabelle
I’m sure that the connection between the celestial sea and its guardians will now improve. Of course, it will be difficult at first. They need to get used to their new voices. But the celestial waters are already obeying them, which means that we can share the wonderful news with the gossiping crab. Will you find it?
Just look! As soon as Inhyo told the gossiping crab about her and Insu’s return, it set off a small firework and immediately started spreading the news across the celestial sea. Harmony will soon return to these waters.
-
Dancing Drops
Isabelle
We need to restore Insu and Inhyo’s connection to the celestial sea slowly. They’ve been apart for too many years. Let’s see if small water molecules will obey their voices. Could you bring me that sparkling stingray?
Thanks for bringing the sparkling stingray here. As soon as it flew up to Insu and heard his voice, it immediately turned into a small fountain out of joy. Inhyo then turned it back into a stingray. That means they can control water again!
-
And the Storms Will End...
Isabelle
It’s difficult for Insu and Inhyo to restore their connection to the celestial sea, as it has plunged into chaos. A storm is coming, and the sea spirits are nervous. The strange fog frightens them... We should look for one of the main spirits of the celestial sea, the sunny jellyfish.
You found the sunny jellyfish so fast, even though it was almost completely covered by thunderclouds! The jellyfish is also scared and confused. But it’s okay. I’ll calm its mind a little, and the sun’s rays will illuminate the celestial sea, if briefly!
-
Guilt Is Poison for the Heart
Isabelle
To restore Insu and Inhyo’s connection to the celestial sea, we have to relieve them of their guilt before the heavenly abyss. Guilt is one of the most destructive feelings. Even the celestial sea feels it. Just look at this star from the deep.
This star from the deep is poisoned with guilt because the twins’ souls share a connection with the inhabitants of the celestial sea. Insu and Inhyo’s negative feelings are reflected in their voices, so the waters refuse to obey them. But the twins have realized their mistakes, and I will cleanse their hearts of guilt.
-
Her Name Was Many
Isabelle
To remove the fear that is poisoning Insu and Inhyo’s hearts and restore their connection to the celestial sea, we need to eliminate its root. I can feel the horror that the dark abyss instills in them. Could you catch that sea spirit over there? Insu says it’s a dweller of the abyss.
Insu and Inhyo are afraid of this creature. The eyes that cover its entire body reflect fear, despair, and the abyss from where the witch came and took away the most precious thing they had: their voices.
-
A New Voice
Isabelle
We have assembled everything we need to make new voices for Insu and Inhyo according to the Puppeteer’s instructions. I thought we’d never decipher them, but we did it! I need some artifacts to complete our project. May I borrow yours?
The artifacts imbue the hydrogen crystal in the necklace with the volume of the Vinyl Whales and the beauty of the siren’s voice... Look how the crystal shines! Did it actually work? Insu, please put the necklace around your neck!
-
Weaved from the Stars
Huntress
Insu and Inhyo’s new voices will have extraordinary qualities. No ordinary metal can withstand such vibrations. We’ll need crystal hydrogen. Luckily, I’ve just received a batch of it! Could you bring it here?
Thanks for bringing the crystal hydrogen, mein Freund. It’s amazingly hard and offers great protection against supernatural influences. I believe such hydrogen can be found only in the City of Shadows in the rifts closer to their edge. I wonder where it comes from.
-
Ripples of the Universe
Isabelle
Making new voices for Insu and Inhyo isn’t easy. The celestial sea is made up of foreign matter, and their voices will have to resonate with it. I’ll need my earth sphere. Please bring it.
That’s the one. This sphere senses the ripples across the universe and its matter. I’ll use it to tune the frequencies of Insu and Inhyo’s voices to the celestial sea... What an amazingly beautiful sound. I’ve never heard anything like it.
-
Echoes of Eternity
Huntress
What other qualities should Insu and Inhyo’s new voices possess? How about echolocation? It could prove useful. We’ll need my sonar for this... Now where did I put it?
Thanks for finding my sonar, mein Freund! It’s shaped like a narwhal for a reason. Did you know that narwhals have the best echolocation of all the ocean creatures? If they need to, Insu and Inhyo can navigate the celestial sea without relying on eyesight.
-
Songs About Love
Isabelle
You want to know what we need for Insu and Inhyo’s new voices? The celestial sea is vast, so their voices should be able to reach even its most distant inhabitants. I know! We should use my record with whale songs. Could you look for it?
The record you’ve found is called "Vinyl Whales." It features the voices of these sea giants at their original volume. Don’t listen to it unless you need to. Your ears won’t thank you. Still, whale voices are so loud they can reach anyone.
-
Come Closer
Huntress
Let’s try to make new voices for Insu and Inhyo, mein Freund. First we need the foundation: the vibrations of a melodic voice. I think I have something suitable. Please help me find my siren pendant.
Danke for helping me find the siren pendant! This curious accessory produces vibrations that resemble the hypnotic voice of a siren. It can bewitch anyone. The perfect foundation for the voices of those who control the sea.
-
A Promised Meeting
Yun Insu
That’s how we met and lost the Puppeteer, the man who helped us get our voices back. Without hesitation, Inhyo and I set out to find the fog-covered city. We were guided by jade reflections in the fog. Please lend me some artifacts. I want to find out what this was.
The magic of the artifacts has strengthened the pearl of the depths, making it shine with bright light again. Look! It’s pointing at a cache with the Puppeteer’s symbol on it. There’s a flexible jade mannequin inside... I wonder what this means.
-
Gifts of the Currents
Yun Insu
The Puppeteer needed to continue his journey, as the portal that had transported him to the desert was beginning to close. He promised to find us and bring us our new voices. This guiding pearl of the depths was supposed to show him the way to our house. Here, take a look.
My sister Inhyo found the pearl of the depths on a reef where sea and sky meet to become one. Its shine was supposed to guide the Puppeteer to our house, but he never came. A few days ago, the tide brought the pearl here.
-
Hi, I’m Here Again
Yun Insu
We told the Puppeteer our story through gestures and drawings in the sand, and he said he could help us. He took several parts from the ship’s puppet crew and made two dolls... Find the one that belongs to Inhyo. It should be somewhere in the house.
We can speak through these dolls, but, as you must have noticed, their voices are emotionless. Unfortunately, Inhyo’s doll is broken. I tried fixing it but only made it worse. The Puppeteer is a true master of his craft. I have no idea how he managed to create such dolls.
-
Foggy Tales
Yun Insu
At first we mistook the Puppeteer for a sorcerer, but he turned out to be an ordinary human with some knowledge of magic. He said he had come from the City of Shadows, where magic and science coexisted, and showed it to us in multi-colored flames. Would you like to take a look too?
The Puppeteer used the campfire to tell us about the greatness of the City of Shadows from which he had come from, its wonders, the fog, and mysterious monsters that appear from the shadows. He seemed like a man of great knowledge and skill.
-
A Crash in the Dunes
Yun Insu
When the fennec fox’s tracks led us to a wrecked ship in the desert, I started believing again that we could regain our voices. It was an incredible sight! Inhyo captured it in a figurine. Take a look around. It should still be here somewhere.
The man we found on the ship in the middle of the desert called himself the Puppeteer. His entire crew was made up of living puppets that he used to steer the ship at sea. But in the desert, the puppets quickly broke down because their mechanisms got clogged by sand.
-
Glimmers of Hope
Yun Insu
Inhyo and I found hope for the return of our voices in the desert, where we went to ask the spirits of the prehistoric seas for advice. But in the sands, we stumbled upon a fennec fox sitting in a hat. The little creature is now in the yard. You can find it.
We found this fennec fox weakened and hiding under a hat. The hat was clearly not intended for travel in the desert and looked almost new. I realized that the person the fox had stolen it from must be in trouble somewhere in the desert, so we set out in search of them.
-
You Can’t Build Happiness...
Yun Insu
Eventually, the sea witch who stole our voices showed up. A demigod I know found Kaeul’s trail and sent me a figurine of her house with magical coordinates. Please lend me some artifacts, and I will show you how it works.
The sea witch Kaeul wasn’t lying: she crossed the sea to meet her lover. She used my voice for the ritual to become a mortal and Inhyo’s voice to talk to her lover.
-
Three Times Around the Planet
Yun Insu
When we realized that the witch had stolen both our voices, we set off in pursuit. The celestial sea was calm and, saddling up our flying fish, my sister and I followed the witch’s trail. Come, I’ll introduce you to our riding fish. Here is one of them. Take a look.
Saddled on our flying fish, we searched the heavenly and earthly seas three times without rest or relaxation. We looked under every rock, illuminated every cave, and all in vain. Not a single trace was left of the sea witch Kaeul or our voices.
-
Captor and Captivated
Yun Insu
During the night, Kaeul broke out of the trap and attacked me. She gave me an ultimatum: either I would give her my voice, or she would take my sister’s life. I knew what this creature was capable of, so I took the deal. Please find the singing shell, and I’ll show you something.
Such shells are called singing shells because you can hear the sound of the sea in them. But I put my voice in one in exchange for my sister’s safety. The voice took the form of a dolphin, and Kaeul took it away. I rushed to my sister’s side, but found that she was mute now too.
-
Love on a Pebble
Yun Insu
The sea witch claimed that she was looking for a way to her beloved on land, so she crossed the celestial sea. We didn’t believe her, for evil is insidious and multifaced. We threw away her amulet, a heart made of pebbles, stripping the witch of her powers. The surf brought it back. Can you find it?
You’re right. There’s no magic power in this stone. Kaeul provided this water-carved stone as proof that she didn’t intend to do evil. But we didn’t believe her. We thought it was a trick, so we trapped the witch!
-
Imprisonment of a Demon
Yun Insu
When we heard about the sea witch, we put saddles on the flying fish and went in search of her. At that time, we still ruled the celestial waters with our voices, and it cost us nothing to trap the witch. There are still traps like that in the house. Find one, please.
That’s the trap I was talking about. There’s a mischievous little spirit in it now who sees imprisonment as rest, but on that fateful day we sealed a desperate and bitter sea witch named Kaeul in that bottle.
-
Evil Seeped In
Yun Insu
I’ll tell you how Inhyo and I lost our voices. One day my sister noticed that the sea spirits were frightened, dark spots were appearing on the sandy seabed, and the reef was overgrown with dark-colored coral. This meant that evil had settled into the celestial sea. Here’s that coral. Take a look.
This coral isn’t dangerous, even though it looks scary. It became this way because of the touch of the sea witch, a spirit filled with longing and envy. Unfortunately, we didn’t notice how she was transfixed by darkness and had snuck into the celestial sea.
-
Ride the Waves
Yun Insu
I’m being sincere with you, honored lady. Everything I have said is true. Our home is a lighthouse built on a reef at the edge of the earth, where the sky and the ocean meet. Lend me some artifacts. I will make the lighthouse brighter, and you will see all the worlds where its beams reach.
I pass a beam from the lighthouse through the artifacts, and its guiding light disperses the darkness in all worlds, showing the way to travelers. By following this light, one can travel through worlds even through the thickest fog. It was this light that led us to the City.
-
Care for Children of the Sea
Yun Insu
Dark energy is gathering in the celestial sea, which is why the storm is brewing. I’ve tried everything that could affect this celestial element, but in vain. Help me find the Wave Master’s staff. It has power over earthly waters. Maybe it can affect celestial waters too.
With the Wave Master’s staff, I will try to control the celestial sea. Perhaps the elements will obey this ancient artifact. Oh, it’s no use! Only magic voices have power over the celestial waters!
-
Exalt the Worthy
Yun Insu
To prevent dark energy from polluting the celestial waters, I will catch the turtle. To do this, I need a fishing hook decorated with brightly colored feathers. I will use it to distract the Storm Turtle. Then it won’t be able to intensify the storm that’s brewing. Help me find it.
Thank you for your help! The fishing hook you found looks like a dragonfly, don’t you agree? I will use it, and it will distract the turtle that has a storm settling on its shell. It will hold back the storm gathering in the celestial sea over the City.
-
Keep Order
Yun Insu
Since then, my sister and I have kept watch over harmony in the celestial waters. Different creatures carrying particles of dark energy are constantly entering them. Look at the turtle floating above our heads.
This creature is called a Storm Turtle. In its shell, it carries concentrated negative energy that has taken the form of a storm. My sister and I always made sure that such creatures didn’t swim into the waters of the celestial sea and provoke unrest.
-
Reflect Evil
Yun Insu
The celestial sea that cares for my sister and me is a ghostly reflection of the earthly sea. We keep a celestial mirror in the house. If you find it, I can tell you the story of the celestial waters.
Once upon a time, with the help of the celestial mirror that you found, the gods reflected the earthly sea to save all its inhabitants and to purify the element of water from the darkness that evil spirits had sown in it, wishing to bend water to their will.

Protect the Sky
Yun Insu
Inhyo and I are celestial fishers and guardians of the celestial sea. We gave our lives and hearts to the element of water, and it rewarded us. One day, a mother-of-pearl dragon rose from the depths of the sea and gave us a blessing. Look at the pendant around my neck.
This pendant, the gift of the mother-of-pearl dragon, was not always so dull. It once shone like a star, giving us the power to rule the celestial waters.

Rulers of the Waters
Isabelle
I happened to observe a strange anomaly: the sky above the City has turned into an ocean, where whales dash around majestically. It seems that this miracle is the work of celestial fishers. But a storm is brewing, and they can’t help calm it down. Why not? I will make notes in the book.

New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.

Frightful Decor
Rayden Storke
It’s settled, then: we’ll find the Huntress and question her. I don’t want to believe that she’s become a werewolf, but it won’t hurt to be extra cautious. Let’s go up the tower, but stay behind me. I have a revolver with silver bullets that Black gave me before the trip. Let’s go!
Watch out, monster! Oh, it’s just a stuffed beast. I almost shot it! I’ve never heard of a backlit stuffed monster in the Full Moon Tower. Why would anyone need such a terrible decoration?... I don’t see the Huntress anywhere. Strange.

Light in the Window
Carlos Light
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!

Lighthouse of Hope
Isabelle
The House on the Reef looks like a lighthouse: it looks upward, and on the roof, which rests against the sky, a light as bright as the sun itself shines. There are no doors, but a spiral staircase leads to the top. Come on, I can’t wait to see what’s on the second floor!
As soon as I went up to the second floor of the House on the Reef, I immediately felt so peaceful, like I was at the seashore on a summer day... and all my worries disappeared. It’s cozy here, though the hut is noticeably dilapidated. I wonder where the owners of this house are.

House of Clouds
Huntress
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!

Old Fortress
Mr. Black
Since the Defenders drove out the monsters, the South Fort has been desolate, but on the anniversary of their victory, it becomes a masquerade venue. I’m not averse to having fun on Triumph Day, but the thief ruined the holiday for me. We danced over there, look.
You can see in the distance how many people in the Fort are dressed up as beasts today. Finding one particular monster at the masquerade won’t be easy, and the culprit was clearly counting on that. We have to catch her without causing panic among the townspeople. And most importantly, return the key to me, or there will be dire consequences.
-
Glare of the Multi-Colored Sun
Lady
I know that some events in the City have made us treat newbies with caution, but soon you’ll understand why I trusted Helga. Her Easter Veranda is over there in the distance, sparkling in the sun with its multi-colored glass. Let’s get closer.
There are cows, goats, and geese grazing around the Easter Veranda... They’re scared of the thunderstorm, but are actually very friendly. You can stroke them if you want. Helga welcomes guests on her cozy veranda, so the animals are used to people.

Forgotten by Their Owner
Pawnbroker
All the items were found and handed over to their owners. But there were a few things left in the office that no one came for. I examined them and realized that they are parts of one object. Use the tools to assemble it, and I’ll check if I missed someone’s request.
I see you’ve managed to assemble the parts. And I found another loss claim, but it’s not signed. The owner asked me to retrieve his portal peephole. I think that’s what we’ve got! It must have fallen out when dancing and then someone stepped on it, breaking it apart.
-
Youthful Dance
Pawnbroker
The townspeople lost many things at the ball. Hopefully, we’ll find all of them. More often than not, the lost items belong to those who were too focused on dancing. For example, a venerable lady lost her set of spare dancing heels. Can you look for them?
Three, four... Yes, you found all the dancing heels! I couldn’t have done it without you. These heels are indispensable for dancers of a certain age. Thanks to their clever shape, they relieve fatigue from their owner’s feet so they can dance as they did in their youth.
-
Locked up Feelings
Pawnbroker
The loss claims keep coming to my office. Take a look at the request from this gentleman. It seems more interesting than the others. He lost his heart control mechanism. I’ve never heard of such a thing. Let’s find it and learn how it’s used.
-
A Family Story
Pawnbroker
I don’t like inattentive people, but when they pay for what they’ve lost at festivities, I’m in the black. Among the artifacts we need to find is a piece that I made, a container of memories. Please find it.
Great, this is the container of memories I was looking for! It’s one of my best works. I made the carved doors from gold with added crystal powder. The aristocrat who bought the container was going to place his memories of the former glory of his father, who was a Defender.

Enchanting Moves
Pawnbroker
The commotion of big celebrations always ends in the citizens losing their valuables. We’ll have to retrieve them. A young woman came to the lost and found office this morning asking me to find the clip for her dress’s train. Can you search for it with me?
Yes, this train clip matches the description. Its owner said that the clip was a gift from a masked admirer. The lady was able to dance all night long wearing this accessory. Maybe the clip is enchanted? On second thought, it was probably due to her partner’s charms rather than any magical effects.
-
Feminine Wiles
Pawnbroker
I was relieved to hear that you’ll help the townspeople search for what they lost at the ball. With your help, we’ll find it in no time. Now, let’s take a look at the details of the request. Hmm, I see... It seems a certain lady has lost a very rare dance card. Let’s find it!
A lady from high society tearfully begged me to find the dance card you found. She let it slip that any guest of the ball whose name was written on it would immediately invite her to dance. It would be quite interesting to write down Mr. Black on the dance card, but let’s refrain from any mischief.

A Man-Made Diamond
Anna Weber
Ah, Sophia will soon be on the masquerade ball’s main stage to sing for everyone who came to the celebration honoring the Defenders. But she hasn’t even tried on the dress yet because it’s not ready! Please lend me some tools. I have a couple of stitches left.
I can’t believe we did it! Sophia looks amazing in her new outfit. It suits her perfectly. No one will even suspect that this morning it was a completely different dress. Fabien is a genius, isn’t he?
-
Individual Disguise
Anna Weber
The embroidery on the bodice is the most striking and memorable element of Sophia’s outfit, but it’s the same as on Madame Roger’s dress. We need to properly hide it. We’ll do this using a feather bolero. It will conceal the embroidery and make the image airy, to match Sophia.
The feather bolero you found is perfect for updating the cabaret singer’s outfit. I’ll sew it on with invisible seams so it looks like it’s separate from the dress. This way, Sophia won’t lose it while dancing.
-
Finishing in Time
Anna Weber
Ah, the sewing machine I’m using to rework Sophia’s dress is jammed. We can’t possibly finish everything on time by hand. I know what will help! Find a can of concentrated foggy oil to lubricate the parts.
Thank you, the foggy oil you found should be enough to get the machine up and running. I’ve been sewing on it for a long time, but sometimes its old mechanisms jam. The foggy oil envelops the parts faster than usual and makes them more mobile.
-
The Magic of Buttons
Anna Weber
Fabien was very upset that Sophia and Madame Roger had the same outfits, so he decided to completely change the design of the masquerade dress. But there’s no time for that. I think I know what to do! Help me find my wonderful buttonhook and I’ll tell you.
Thank you for helping me find my wonderful buttonhook. Look, I can use it to "move" the buttons so that the dress’s design will visually change without altering anything else. This way we can convey Sophia’s complex inner world through her outfit.
-
A Good Decision
Anna Weber
You know what would be the perfect solution for the dress? Ribbons! Delicate blue ribbons will really suit Sophia. I just need to find self-adhesive tape to stick the ribbons on the outfit as quickly as possible. I don’t have time to sew it all on.
You found the tape so quickly! I wish I had such a knack for searching. This self-adhesive ribbon tape is enough to decorate Sophia’s outfit and highlight the singer’s lightness. Ah, her dress will be the most luxurious in the City!
-
Rebellious Spirit
Anna Weber
Details will help us add individuality to Sophia’s outfit. She’s very spontaneous in her work, even a little... rebellious. Let’s decorate her dress with an unusual brooch. We’ll make this accessory from the aigrette she adorns her hair with. Look for it.
I’ll decorate Sophia’s aigrette you managed to find with precious stones and then sew it to her dress. Such a brooch should look great on her dress, as if imitating the Order’s ancient brooch without actually copying it.
-
Grand Opening
Augustine Capuchin
There’s absolutely no time left. The exhibition dedicated to the history of the Defenders’ Order is about to open, and I haven’t installed all the exhibits yet. Please lend me some tools. I forgot mine.
I fixed the lights, tightened all the screws, and removed the extra parts. Now everything’s ready! Come on, I want to see them open the maroon velvet curtains at the entrance to the exhibition hall. It always looks so dramatic!
-
The Wheel of History
Augustine Capuchin
There’s another exhibit that requires immediate restoration. Someone spun the slide wheel too hard, making some of the slides fly out. Can you help me find the lost frames to restore the chronology of events on the slide wheel?
Thank you! I’ve arranged the frames you found on the slide wheel in a logical order. Look through the magnifying glass. You’ll be the first of the masquerade ball’s attendees to see the fight between a monster and a Defender. I’m sure you’ll be impressed!
-
A True Gem
Augustine Capuchin
If you’re interested, I can show you my favorite exhibit. It’s a unique shot that shows the daily life of the Defenders. Oh no, the lamp with the slide is gone! Please find it. We can’t let something happen to it!
Oh, you found it! Did they really want to throw out this lamp? I guess I will have to make it clear to the masquerade ball’s organizers that this lamp contains a true gem - a frame showing a fencing lesson given by the head of the Order himself!
-
Images of the Past
Augustine Capuchin
The filmosphere is the most amazing piece at the exhibition in honor of the Defenders’ Order. It consists of many unique frames, most of which are now lost. Please help me find all the frames to restore the filmosphere.
You’ve collected all the filmosphere frames. Now I’ll glue them into a ball again. We’ll shine a light through it and images from the Defenders’ Order’s past will be displayed across the walls. It will be stunning!
-
Square Frame
Augustine Capuchin
I counted the cube slides and three are missing. They look very similar to the souvenirs, but we still need to retrieve them. Otherwise, the presentation on the history of the Defenders’ Order will be incomplete. You’ll easily recognize these slides. They’re inserted into cubes with fog swirling inside them.
The cube slides you found are extremely important to complete the Order’s story. They show footage of a battle in the fog. Lewis also filled the cubes with fog to make them more vivid.
-
Important Shot
Augustine Capuchin
One of the most ancient and valuable slides is called "The Explorers." It shows the Defenders at the first place of battle against the monsters. Only one frame was saved from an entire film, but it’s the best one. Please help me retrieve it.
Monsters and Defenders! You did it! "The Explorers" slide is fully intact: no scratches or cuts... Ah, there are a few fingerprints here. But that’s okay, I’ll get rid of them in no time!

A Dream Come True
Roger Doubledeal
The golden bees are buzzing busily, my hat, the wheel of fortune, the tarot card, and the oriental amulet are vibrating, and the Hesperides’ apples are emitting golden sparks. My deepest desire is about to come true. Oh, I can’t wait! Will you lend me some artifacts to speed up the process?
I feel that the golden bees’ magic has worked, and now I’ll get what I want most in my life. Countless treasures, come to me!\n What’s this? A honey cake?! Yes, I dreamed of it, but only when I was a child... So, this turns out to be my deepest desire?
-
A Favorite Hat
Roger Doubledeal
Look, the golden bees are starting to gather! This means that our bait is working. Mamma mia, I almost forgot! In order to direct the energy of change to my desire, I need to place an item I’ve been using for a long time among the flowers and amulets. Where’s my favorite hat?
Yes, this is my favorite hat. You’ve done me a huge favor by finding it! I’ll place my hat close to the flowers that the golden bees are circling over. This will make the particles of my aura mix with the energy of change. Let’s hope this spring magic works.
-
Cherished Fruits
Roger Doubledeal
I’m a little worried whether the golden bees will collect enough energy of change to make my wish come true. I’ve come up with an idea to lure the bees not only with flowers but also fruits. But our bees are unusual, which means that we need special fruits. Let’s collect the Hesperides’ apples!
Wow, you managed to find the Hesperides’ apples! At least they’re very similar to the mythical fruits from the nymphs’ garden which give eternal youth. So much the better: these apples look delicious, are clearly full of energy, and should be quite attractive to the golden bees.
-
A Flow of Positivity
Roger Doubledeal
What’s my desire? Mamma mia, it’s a truly grand one! It took me a long time to formulate it correctly. All that remains is to attract the golden bees and use their energy of change. I think an oriental amulet will help me with this. Have you found one, by any chance?
Grazie, you found an oriental amulet consisting of five coins. This means that it balances the five elements: wood, metal, earth, fire, and water. The amulet creates a flow of positive energy, and I expect that this flow will bring the golden bees to me.
-
A Happy Prophecy
Roger Doubledeal
I need some particles of change to fulfill my desire, and only the golden bees of spring can bring them. Rumor has it that they come when they feel positive energy, so I’ll put my luckiest card next to the flowers. Can you find it in the deck?
You found my lucky nine of cups card! Bravo! Did you feel a positive charge from it? An experienced fortune teller told me that this card brings success and fulfillment of desires. I hope the golden bees will be attracted by this kind of positive energy.
-
A Lucky Twist
Roger Doubledeal
I came up with a way to attract golden bees to make my wish come true. First, we’ll need some flowers and also a reliable good luck charm so that I’m lucky enough to interest the bees with these flowers. The Wheel of Fortune would be perfect, but I lost it recently. Can you help me retrieve it?
Thank you for returning the Wheel of Fortune to me! The goddess of luck herself adorned it with fragrant flowers. According to my calculations, this increases their attractiveness at least twofold, which means that our chances of getting the golden bees interested in these flowers are very high.

No One Is Forgotten
Maiden of Spring
You’ve found numerous Easter eggs, but the bunny feels that someone was left without a gift. He prepared a special egg for the City, as this is an unusual place with its own soul. I’ll hand the gift to the City, but I’ll need artifacts. Please bring me some.
The energy of the City’s artifacts surrounds the Easter bunny’s gift with a glowing haze, and it disappears into it. This means that the gift has been accepted. The fog will no longer hinder the celebration. Thanks to you, the bunny is jumping for joy. And here’s your gift. Come on, open it!
-
A Lucky Find
Cardsharp
What did you say? Gifts? Valuable gifts? Of course we need to find them! The fog has snatched lots of stuff already, so losing Easter eggs is the last thing we need. The bunny hinted that my gift would bring good luck. If so, it must be a talisman egg. Have you come across such a thing?
Luck is going straight into your hands! You found the talisman egg, but I need it more. Thank you. I’m glad that the fog didn’t get this gift from the bunny. I can already feel it charging me with luck. Well, I’m off to try it out!
-
Elegant Patterns
Juliette
Ah, mon ami, many people have already received their gifts from the Easter bunny, but I just can’t find mine. It must be a gorgeous, delicate, and a fine work of art, just like I love! I think it’s a wonderful lacy egg. Please help me find it.
Merci! You’ve found a gorgeous lacy egg for me. Ah, I wish I knew how to create such beautiful patterns! Maybe the Maiden of Spring can teach me the complex technique for weaving such lace. After all, she’s the one who helps the Easter bunny make gifts for the citizens.
