maintain (preserve) peace
Monk
The process of making origami is very delicate. It is similar to a ritual. It is best to protect the workshop with a piece of paper called a kamidaru, which is used in rituals. Somewhere in the "tea room" there will be a paper tare made up of a series of square pieces of paper. With them, you can direct the attention of the soul to your work.
You have found the "paper tare." With this you will mark the place where you will work. You must use it to attract the attention of the souls and gain their help.

Special Techniques
Valerie
You use a folding method called wet folding? How cool, I'll do that too! Well, first I'll have to find a "misting spray" with water in it. The paper needs to be constantly moistened to create this beautiful weave. Look for a "misting spray" in the Tea Room.
How odd! This misting pump is so old. Will this pump still work? It works! It's still full of water. It's great! Come on, let's fold some origami.
-
Best Materials
Detective
Buddy, I've decided what I'm going to wish for. I'm going to write it on a piece of paper and fold it. But Valerie snatched the last piece of washi right under my nose. Help me find some special paper in that "tea room" so I can make origami. So that I can make origami.
Wow, this looks good. It's called chiyogami for origami... it even has a pattern on it. You found the place where Hanako kept this one right away. Now, let's take a look at the chart and fold some origami.
-
Old books
Isabelle
I prefer to get my knowledge from books. I think there are books and old documents about origami in that "tea room". Go ahead and look for them. I think the best way to master this ancient art and to fold your favorite origami is to learn from books.
It's not "The Book of Secrets of Paper Cranes." You found it! I can't believe you have this old folding book in your hands. Lend it to me after you've folded the origami, ok?
-
Expert Advice
Martha
Have you decided what kind of origami you are going to fold? To fold origami properly, you need the experience of a master. It is best to learn from those who have accomplished something. Let's turn to the spirit of the master. Through the origami of his self-portrait. He will show us how to fold origami.
It takes a great master to fold a self-portrait with origami, don't you agree? I bet you'll reveal the secret of your technique.
-
Lion Help
Martha
The amulet for the "Twelve Zodiacal Bouncers" is based on Helen's own zodiac sign. According to her diary, she was born on August 1. That means she was born under the sign of Leo. Her constellation should be somewhere in the Observatory. Find it quickly. I'm going to start the ritual.
Well done. The Leo symbol belongs to Helen. Now we are ready to perform the ritual. I will create the Wheel of the Zodiac and give her life energy.
-
help from a scorpion
Mistress
I'm a little curious about Helen. If you're going to save that girl by building the "Twelve Star Bouncer," I'll be happy to join in on the sideshow. What are you looking at? Find Scorpio. It's my constellation. Hurry up. She's dying.
Well done. This Scorpio symbol is exactly what I need. With my energy and the Zodiac Cart, it should be powerful enough to save Helen.
-
The Power of Women Hunters
Huntress
I swear on my blade. Helen's life will not end today. I have decided to save her. I will participate in the ritual to create the Wheel of Twelve. Help me find my constellation in the Observatory. What constellation was it? Yes, Sagittarius.
I thank you. I'll take this "Symbol of Sagittarius" to Isabel. I'm going to make a talisman of the "Twelve Zodiac Wheel" and help her get ready to help Helen.
-
Weight and Fluctuation
Alex
Saving girls was a longing of mine when I was alive. I would gladly give a part of my soul to save Helen by building the "Zodiac Wheel. My star sign is Libra. Look for the symbol in the Observatory.
I guess it's the influence of the Libra Symbol. My heart sways like a balance. This symbol will help me create the "Twelve Zodiacal Wheel of Motion."
-
The Power of the Maiden
Valerie
In order to save Helen's life, Isabelle said she's going to build the "Twelve Constellations Bullet Wheel". She wants me to collect the artifacts of the Twelve Constellations for that purpose. I want to save her and participate in the ritual. Please find the symbol of my constellation, Virgo, in the Observatory.
Doesn't the found "Virgo symbol" look a bit like me? I'll take this with me and get ready for the ritual. If Helen survives, I hope we can be friends.
-
confusion of characters
Inspector
I've been keeping it a secret, but I love to solve ciphers. If it's a transposition cipher, I know how to solve it. To solve the riddle and find out why the astronomer didn't call for Helen's help, you need a "Scutarey Transposition Cipher Instrument." It's a thin cylinder wrapped in parchment. Can you try to find that at the Observatory?
Let's see what this "Scutaree Inverted Cipher Instrument" can tell us. This method was invented in ancient Greece. It seems that astronomers used Latin as a cipher.
-
Deliberate Mistakes
Martha
Some of the star charts in the "Observatory" had errors. There were too many bright stars in each constellation. This must be on purpose. It's a cipher. I'll solve the cipher using the Cardan Grill Cipher Edition. It should be somewhere in the Observatory.
I've been able to read the message the astronomers tried to hide by applying the star chart to the "Cardan Grill Cipher Edition" that I found. But it's going to take some time.
-
Cipher on a Thread
Huntress
There were several "Aeneas cipher disks" at the "Observatory." Aeneas made a cipher disk. There is a hole in the disk. You put a rope through it. Bring me all the disks. You're trying to figure out why the astronomer didn't call for help. I'll give you a hand.
Every hole in the "Aeneas Crypto Disk" that I found corresponds to a letter. Untangle these tangled threads and I'll read you the astronomer's coded message.
-
Practice Test
Alex
The astronomer's drawings are very conceptual. It's like an indistinct dream. Do you think these drawings are also encrypted? I think we can get a good deal on a cylindrical mirror. Why don't you try to find it at the Observatory? I'm sure we can break the encryption.
I took this "cylindrical mirror" and brought it close to a drawing I found in an astronomer's diary. It became clear to me. I think this symbol-like thing is part of a cipher code. Am I wrong?
-
Astronomer Abracadabra
Isabelle
What a disorganized string of letters. It's as if they are dancing around under the spell of "Abracadabra". This could be another shift cipher. Maybe we can crack it using a cipher ring with two strings in a row. Find the cipher ring at the observatory. With it, we can break the astronomer's code. It would also explain why he didn't call for help when Helen was in such a state.
Look, this "code ring" has symbols on the back. It looks like the astronomers moved the letters five places to the right. That should solve the cipher.
-
Funny Pictures
Isabelle
I noticed a photo of Aura in the Observatory. Perhaps it belongs to her. I think that if we collect those photos, we can figure out what caused the explosion. Find me the clearest photo you can.
Judging by the "aura photo" we found, it seems that Helen herself has become the energy source for the anomaly. She may be the generator we are looking for. We don't know for sure.
-
Energy refraction
Martha
I examined the aura of the "observatory." The conclusion is that the energy flow here seems to be constantly condensed through an "energy lens". Perhaps this is the cause of the Observatory's explosion? Let's find out.
This "lens of energy" is focused on a wavelength of faint energy. But this does not appear to be the cause of the explosion. But we are getting closer to an answer.
-
Forces of Repulsion
Detective
I've been staring at this moon and floating planet for an hour. How is it suspended in the air? I've been looking for a magnet or a thin string, but there's nothing. Help me catch this planet. My gut is telling me this thing has something to do with the explosion.
The "floating planet" is suspended in mid-air. It's affected by the energy of whatever is inside. But this thing is just papier-mâché. Who put the energy source in this thing?
-
Woman wearing gloves
Juliette
I saw that Helen had a large collection of gloves at the "Observatory." None of them looked like something you would use fashionably. I can tell a lot about a woman by looking at her gloves. Can you bring them to me? I'm sure they will tell us something about the explosion at the Observatory.
I'm pretty sure the owner of these "protective gloves" worked with electricity. Very classy, but there are some heat stains. Oh, here's a note.
-
bolt of lightning
Cardsharp
I only talk about jewelry? Who told you that? Liar! I only admire rarities and treasures... I came to the "observatory" because of the brilliance of the "flash rocks". It's a rock created by lightning. Let's look for it together. We can find out what caused the explosion. That way, we can both agree, right?
The "flash rocks" are formed when sand is burned by lightning. Hmmm, lightning should burn everything, but there is no sign of fire anywhere. That means this lightning was induced. With tremendous skill.
-
New Perspectives
Juliette
Dear friend, I found one photo. That mystery girl is wearing some unusual glasses. There's a note on the back. "...remember to look at things from other angles." I wonder if she was blind. Let's find these glasses. Maybe they can tell us something about the owner.
These "rainbow glasses" have very thick lenses. It makes even very small objects look bigger. With these, you can embroider on very thin fabrics.
-
Looking for "The Way of the Stars"
Inspector
Have you noticed that the Observatory is full of all sorts of drawings and maps? Let's look for "drafting tools," shall we? Perhaps there is something inscribed with her name, or a clue to her name.
There's something written on the compass of your drafting tool. It's hard to read. The inscriptions are fading. But there is a date. It says, "118 days of fog. Is this some kind of code?
-
Astronomy Formula
Detective
There's a lot of weird machinery here, man. It looks like the guys who lived here used "ancient calculators" to do their calculations. Which of the calculators scattered around the Observatory are the ones in the memo? Can you help me find them?
Buddy, are you sure this is a "big old calculator"? I wouldn't even recognize this thing as a calculator. This mystery girl seems to be very smart. She must be very smart to be able to handle this thing.
-
Astronomical Sands
Valerie
There was a "frame with silica sand in it" on the table. The sand was moving freely inside. It looked like he was painting something. Let's take a closer look. Maybe we can learn something about the owner of the Observatory.
Look, there's a card in the frame. It says. "Happy Father's Day! I hope you finish the math soon. I bet this kid worked with his dad.
-
comfortable and wise
Lady
You can tell a lot about the owners by looking at the objects that were used on a daily basis. It seems that the inhabitants of the Observatory often drank tea. Look! This teapot has a machine built into it! But why? Bring me that "smart teapot". Maybe it can tell us something about its owner.
I told you so! This teapot sets the perfect temperature for infusing...80 degrees. The owner of this teapot is definitely a creative person.
-
Excess storage
Inspector
To save that girl, Isabelle needs something to accumulate anomaly energy. She saw an electrostatic machine at the Observatory. It's in bad shape there, but you need to find it and get it to Isabelle.
Nice work. The "static machine" doesn't seem to have been destroyed by the explosion. When it spins, static electricity collects and discharges. That should help break the anomaly.
-
creative process
Isabelle
From the information I've gathered, I've got a pretty good idea of how to break the anomaly. See that stone with the golden glow? I think it is a meteorite. Bring it to me. I think we need it to break the anomaly.
I can't remember the last time a meteorite hit a city. This one contains a rare metal. Its special properties could be useful in destroying the anomaly.
-
Light pressure
Professor
To measure the light pressure of an anomaly, you need a "Crookes' Radiometer. It's a four-feathered impeller balanced on a column inside a glass ball. Find it. The quill will help Isabelle destroy the anomaly around the girl.
This radiometer turns according to the intensity of the light. By measuring its value, Isabelle can learn how to break the anomaly.
-
Anomaly wavelength
Isabelle
I can't measure the mass of this anomaly because there is so much white light all over everything. We need to change this white light, use an X-cube. We need to separate the prisms with it. Then we can determine the size of the anomaly.
This "X-cube prism" has cut off the light that was emitted from the anomaly. Now the light that flooded all of the "observatory" is gone. But it's still around the girl.
-
Celtic Indicator
Martha
We don't have time to play around. We have to move quickly. Check the Observatory. I saw a rattleback somewhere. It's an elliptical frame with no bumps or corners. That's the indicator for the machine that will destroy the electrical anomaly.
You found "Rattleback." It can change the direction of rotation. This would help Isabelle create an opportunity to destroy the anomaly.
-
Eternal Protection
Mei
We are looking for a symbol of the heroic deeds of the "Heavenly Archer. It will help Martha to speak with his spirit. We must protect the world from the Wind Dragon. Did you know that the archer became a threat to the demons after his journey around the world? Look for the peach tree in the pagoda. That is the symbol.
You found the "peach amulet" of the "Heavenly Archer." The aura of this amulet repels demons. With what you have found, you are close to restoring the "Wind Pincers" that slay dragons!
-
Eternal Charm
Cardsharp
Just before I came here, the wind blew away all my cards! I want to help you communicate with the spirit of the "Heavenly Archer". Did you know that the archer has been searching for years for the elixir of immortality? It would be difficult to find a jar containing such a thing, but I know you can do it!
You've got the legendary "elixir of immortality"! Let's see... this bottle is real, but it's empty! Someone has stolen the elixir. Poor old, poor old card cheat. Not a drop left in the bottle! No, according to legend, the hero drank it all. I hope this stuff helps Martha communicate with the "heavenly archer".
-
lesser cuckoo (Cuculus poliocephalus)
Yui
The dragon is waking up! We must hurry! For Martha to communicate with the spirit of the "Heavenly Archer," she needs symbols of his heroic deeds. One of them is the legendary arrow with the sky-blue cloth. Find it in the chedi.
That's great! This arrow I brought you has a magic cloth attached to it. It is the same cloth that the Heavenly Archer used when he killed the Great Wind, a dangerous storm-breathing monstrous bird. With this, Martha will be able to communicate with his spirit.
-
Mountain Gifts
Mistress
I heard that the psychic is trying to communicate with the "heavenly archer" in the spirit world. You should go to that pagoda and look for the old ring that the archer had. The ring is not easy to find. It is enchanted. But with it, Martha will be able to communicate with the spirit of its owner. We all want this dragon mess to be taken care of, and quickly.
You brought the ring worn by the world's first archer. The Archer of Heaven found this ring in the rubble of the collapsed Silk Mountain. What's with your eyes? I read ancient Chinese legends when I was a kid.
-
Many suns
Yui
In order for Martha to communicate with the "heavenly archer" in the spirit world, you'll need to collect symbols of his heroic favor. Legend has it that there were once several suns burning in the sky. These suns threatened to destroy the world. But the "heavenly archer" was so accurate that he shot down all the bad suns, leaving only one. Look for the symbol of that last sun in the pagoda.
You've spotted a three-legged raven. This bird is a symbol of the last sun left in the sky by the "heavenly archer." This will help Martha to communicate with his spirit.
-
the power of the wild
Inspector
There was once a case of a missing Chinese weapons collection. I once worked on the investigation. Ever since then, I've been interested in ancient Chinese combat. Did you know that the durability of the tip of a bow is due to the horns of a wild ox? I remember there was a horn ornament on a pagoda. Bring it to me. Let's use it for Bao's new "ceremonial bow.
Wonderful! You have brought the "horns of the wildebeest." This will make Bao's new bow stronger and more durable. It shouldn't break in the wind like before!
-
Pearls in wine
Detective
I talked to Martha about it. She said that once we collect all the gifts, the ritual will summon a message from the Colonel to Miss Peacock. First we'll find Cleopatra's pearls. Legend has it that Marcus Antonius gave them to her in a glass of wine. Pretty weird packaging, huh? The pearl must be in town. Find them.
This thing really is "Cleopatra's Pearl." Wow, that's a big one. That's why you put them in the glass. Martha will perform the ritual for Miss Peacock with it.
-
God's Favorite Enemies
Yui
The Suzaku, which I have served for 18 years, is the natural enemy of the Wind Dragon. Its flame feathers must be among the things left behind by the bloodline of the "Heavenly Archers". Bring me a few of those feathers. Those feathers would make a nice decoration for Bao's new bow. But more than that, they can add the power of the Suzaku flame to the arrows.
Thank God, it's a "Vermilion Bird Feather"! You didn't get burned by the sparks from the feather, did you? Excellent! Use it as a feather for Bao's arrow. It will slay the dragon and restore harmony to the world.
-
thorny silk
Huntress
Friends, Bao is making a new bow. To perform the ritual of invoking the ancestors. I want to help him. As you know, I am a master weapon-maker. I need you to find silkworms among the thorns in the chedi. Silkworms make strong silk threads. With a strong string of silk thread, I will be able to make a strong bow.
You've brought the "silkworm thread." It looks fine, but this guy is as strong as his loyalty to the military. Thank you! Now, let's make Bao's new weapon stronger.
-
The Secret of the Flame
Detective
Buddy, while Bao is working on the foundation of the "ceremonial bow," we should think about the arrows. We're going to use the flaming arrow to put fire into the brazier at the top of the chedi. To do that, we need to fill the tip of the arrow with gunpowder. We need to get a lot of gunpowder. Can you find it for me?
Okay, this much gunpowder should be enough for all the arrows! BTW, gunpowder was made in ancient China. We should thank them. They use it for all kinds of things, right?
-
hard foundation
Bao
I have the blessing of the "heavenly archer". I am ready to fight the Wind Dragon. First of all, I need a bow. I used to have a bow. My grandmother gave it to me. But the wind knocked it against a stone and it was cruelly broken. There is no choice...I will have to make a new one. Please find young bamboo from this chedi. It will serve as the foundation for a new "bow of etiquette.
You brought the young bamboo. Thank you very much! My grandmother turned the bamboo into a sturdy bow foundation, but I have to remember how she did it...
-
plunge into the abyss
Detective
Buddy, Bao doesn't admit he's the chosen one. He doesn't think he can get rid of the wind dragon. He doesn't have the courage. But I saw a sail glider at the pagoda. Why would Bao have something like that? Was he trying to scare the crows? Bring me the sail glider. I'll find out what it was used for.
It's a homemade "sail glider," isn't it? That shy little boy who claims to be just a kid apparently jumped off a cliff with a homemade glider! Oh my God. Looking deep into his heart, the boy is a daredevil!
-
He who catches the wind
Bao
Your psychics are looking into my past. They are looking for proof that I am the chosen one. That I have the power to defeat the Wind Dragon. I don't know what I can prove with my fishing "sailboat," but Martha wants me to find it in the pagoda.
Ah, my "sailboat". This sail has always had the best winds... but I didn't do anything, it's all because of the wind. I'm sorry, but that doesn't prove anything.
-
Whirlwind Melody
Lady Peacock
Martha is going to look into Bao's past and prove he is the chosen one. He has the power to defeat the wind dragon. While Martha was looking into his past, she heard the sound of a charming flute. It was as if the wind itself was playing music. Look for that flute in the chedi.
That's wonderful! You found the "bamboo haisho flute." Bao was a very good flute player. He has lungs as strong as a dragon.
-
operation of heaven
Huntress
Friends! Martha is looking into Bao's past. We must find proof that he is the Chosen One, for we too cannot fight the dragon. Martha saw a dragon made of cloth and bamboo dancing in the wind. So we're supposed to look for that guy at the "legendary stupa"?
Well done! This "floating dragon" is made of bamboo and cloth. It is very difficult to control it. According to Martha's recollection, Bao was a very skillful boy.
-
Alchemist Beginner
Cardsharp
I, too, have read through the Beginner's Guide to Alchemy in order to participate in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. The next step is to work with liquid materials. For this we will need a glass measuring cup! Can you find them for me?
This guy looks just like the glass measuring cups from the alchemy guide, doesn't he? There's a funny symbol on the gauge...I hope Isabelle can figure out what this is. My dear stone, we will see you soon...
-
Warrior Games
Martha
Bao lacks confidence. He can't accomplish his goal with that kind of attitude. He needs to show Bao that he really is the chosen one. He has the power to fight the wind dragon. Let's look at Bao's past with my mind's eye. The first thing I see is an oval-shaped jar. It looks like something used for target practice... but I'm sure we'll find it in the pagoda.
What you have found is a "throwing jar. Throwing pots is a game in which arrows are thrown through a small metal ring attached to the pot. From what I saw, Bao was very good at throwing the arrow.
-
The Power of the Palm of the Hand
Mei
The spirit of the pagoda is trying to show us clues to help us find the purpose of the phantom boy. It is so that he can come to the city. As we continued our search, we learned that the dragon had attacked the "legendary stupa" before. But how did you stop the dragon then? Behold, the spirit has lit a new incense burner! Bring that one.
I thank you. This is the "Incense Burner of the Hand of God." The inscription on the censer reads. "A heavenly archer challenged the dragon to battle and won. And he has put the power of the wind in his small hand."
-
First attack
Yui
Look at the phantom boy! The boy's shadow seems to be getting darker. The spirit of the pagoda is helping us to find out the purpose of that boy. To bring him back to the city. See, there, that's the next brazier lit, a new clue. Look for the brazier among the relics in the chedi.
The brazier you found has dragon decorations. Another dig. "Once upon a time, the Great Order was in danger. The dragon called the wind and extinguished the blue flame.
-
Connection to All
Valerie
The spirit of the stupa gave me a clue to find out what the phantom boy is up to, but it's kind of unclear. He's like a monk! Oh look, there's smoke up there too! The spirit must have lit another dodgy censer. Find the chedi.
Wow! This incense burner is a disk with the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac molded into it. There's a digging in it. Praying to the souls of our ancestors is the foundation of the "Great Order."
-
Sacred flame
Yui
The spirit of the pagoda has lit a new "brazier." Do you see the smoke rising into the sky? Let's check out the next clue to find out what the phantom boy is up to. We're going to save him. Bring me the brazier.
By using an unknown secret science, a magical blue flame came to life in this "brazier". There's something inscribed here, too. 'On the lunar new year, a flame was lit at the tip of the stupa to call the spirits of the ancestors.'
-
Faraway Harmony
Mei
He decided to follow the guidance of an invisible soul living in the stupa. According to Martha, that soul will help us understand the purpose of the boy in the vision. Let us rescue the boy from the shadows of the world. Look, there is smoke rising from the censer over there! Could it be the spirit of the pagoda? Bring it to me. Find the clue smoldering in there.
This stupa-shaped incense burner looks very expensive. Behold, there is an indentation here. It seems to be an introduction to the legend, "Long ago, the caretakers of the chedi were descendants of the founder.
-
Disturbed Holidays
Martha
It was the wind that broke that heavy stone brazier. It was the wind that stopped the rituals of the pagoda. Because of the dragon's aura, I can't really sense what happened next. Please bring me the evidence of the exact time when the time of the chedi stopped.
The big dragon scales sticking up here broke this lantern. But other than the holiday decorations, nothing else seems to have been destroyed in the pagoda. In other words, the city stopped time at the moment the dragon attacked.
-
The Power of the Wind
Yui
I knew that the rituals held in this mysterious chedi were to worship the souls of my ancestors. But what happened to this ritual? We investigate the area. The answer may be somewhere in the chedi.
The stone brazier found seems to have been kept on fire throughout the ritual. The coals from the broken brazier are still smoldering. Surely the ritual was not over yet...did that wind destroy this brazier?
-
Ancestral Memory
Mei
I understand that there was a feast held in this pagoda. But there are a million traditions to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Let's find out the answer to the question of what traditions were about to be celebrated: the birth of the gods, the Lantern Festival, fireworks, lion dances, and so on.
What you have found is an ancestral tablet. These usually contain the names of the ancestors who are the guardians of the pagoda. In other words, this pagoda is a Chinese temple, a mausoleum. As per tradition, it is a place to worship ancestors.
-
Symbols of Holidays
Valerie
I understand that there was some sort of function going on in this chedi. But what was it about? Um... hey, Eddie! Where are you going? My ferret has climbed up the fruit tree! Hurry up and chase after it! What was he pulled into? Do you have any new evidence?
Eddie, what did you bring, a sprig of mandarin oranges? Were you hungry? Look, here's a red envelope for the New Year's gift! Apparently, the ritual that took place here is related to the Lunar New Year.
-
Scent of Holidays
Detective
A strange chedi has appeared in the mountains. Moreover, the dragon clearly doesn't like this building... Buddy, your evidence-gathering skills could come in handy. First, we need to understand what this place is. What in the world is that rich aroma? Let's search the chedi and find the source of the smell.
How did you find it? This is a Chinese style "whirlpool incense". The monk told me that this is a scent used in special ceremonies. That means there was some kind of ceremony here.
-
Warmth from within and without
Conductor
You think Martha's evergreen Christmas wreaths can handle this damn cold weather? Let me tell you something. Look for the branches of the Rat's Nest. Those trees are tough. It's the same in the Arctic as it is in the subtropics. Can you find it?
It's the scent of a branch of nez! Martha's warmth magic doesn't work without it. By the way, if you put it in your drink, it warms you up from the inside out!
-
love nest
Valerie
Icy says she needs a few more mementos to summon the "Snow Queen". Then she'll defeat the Queen and bring back Nicholas and Santa. We can celebrate Christmas! Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself again, aren't I? Anyway, did you see anything in "North Pole Town" like a geyser?
What a lovely sculpture! The Christmas spa must have been made of pebbles. From what the inscription says, Lumika and Mathias met at a geyser in the forest. Then they built a hot spring decorated with pebbles.
-
northern heart
Juliette
Every object Mathias showed me was a heartfelt gift for his love for Lumika. But how serious was their relationship? To summon the Snow Queen and save Nicholas, find a heart like the one the ghost was showing in his hand gestures! Have you seen anything with a heart in Arctic Town?
Heart of Amber. No wonder! Mathias seems to have imitated a heart or a wave. So he used a piece of amber he found on the shore of the Northern Sea to make this heart pendant. It's for Lumika!
-
Winter Red Flower
Lady Peacock
To lure out the "Snow Queen" we need to dig deeper into the past! There is no other way to save Nicholas and Christmas... I saw an old wreath hanging on the door. No doubt that was made by Lumika. Judging by the claw marks, it seems that a "mating pair of liar birds" used to perch there. Why don't you look for those birds in "Arctic Town"?
Lumika knitted a Christmas wreath for Mathias. The mating birds perched there are a symbol of love. I hope it will help to call the "Snow Queen" and save Nicholas.
-
flower of immortality
Conductor
This young man, Mathias, was just a hunter. But it seems he knew how to capture a woman's heart! His ghost wants to tell Lumika that he was picking flowers. If only we knew where in the Arctic he had found them! Perhaps he made them himself out of snow? Look for the flowers in "Arctic Town."
I never thought flowers could bloom in the Arctic. And a flower as bright and yellow as the sun. I wonder if this flower could melt the heart of the "Snow Queen" even now?
-
delicacy
Icy
Only three people know about Lumika's old possessions that could remind her of her love for Mathias. They are Mathias, Santa, and the "Snow Queen". Find that item and you can save Nicholas! Look, the ghost is acting like a strawberry picker. What kind of strawberries was Mathias picking for his loved ones? Find out in "Arctic Town."
This "northern wild strawberry" is covered in ice. This delicacy is a very rare luxury in the Arctic. Mathias was trying to please his loved ones as much as possible. I hope this helps save Nicholas and Christmas.
-
The Origins of Alchemy
Monk
The card cheaters' desire to obtain the Philosopher's Stone is understandable. In the ancient Chinese Empire, alchemists and monks also pursued this mysterious object. There, the stone was called "holy vermilion sand. Find the distiller used to distill and refine it.
This distiller is one of the oldest instruments in alchemy. It is used to distill the ingredients of the Philosopher's Stone, which were mixed in a flask by the imam Isabelle.
-
three heads
Isabelle
I hear the card scammers are already working on generating the Philosopher's Stone. For the record, it's not even a stone. Legend has it that it is called an elixir. In some complicated alchemical rituals, it is simply called a reagent. But the recipe sounds interesting. Look for a three-necked flask. They are used to synthesize medicines.
The three-necked flask is used to create a synthetic reaction. This will help us to mix the amount of liquid material in the preparation of the Philosopher's Stone.
-
Snow Journey
Juliette
The mother and Elias were very afraid of the "Snow Queen." I wonder if that's why they kept Mathias' child locked away? How did that child learn about a world that needed his magic? Dear friend, I saw a "snow kickboard" in "Arctic Town." I wonder if he was out on it? Can you find it for me?
This is a "snow kickboard" for kids! Looks like the kid is coloring. I wonder if the Mathias boy had some artistic talent? Oh, the "snowkickboard" started moving by itself. There's no dog to pull the sled, and it's not even on a hill!

The sweetest fruit
Valerie
I hope Mathias' kid turns out to be a good hero. So he can save Nicholas from the "Snow Queen". Then Santa will come back and we can celebrate Christmas! By the way, I also saw a Christmas miracle on North Pole Street. It's a Christmas tree with candy! Find it and see for yourself.
I ate the candy on this tree. Then it grew back! I hope Mathias' kid didn't eat too much and get a cavity. Oh, by the way, is the kid a boy or a girl?
-
Burning snow
Isabelle
Talented kids can be dangerous at times. Like Lumika's ice magic. Icy thinks that with the help of the Christmas miracle, we can figure out why Mathias believed the child was so important. Maybe it's not a miracle, but there does seem to be an anomaly. Apparently, it has something to do with snowballs. Find them in "Arctic Town."
What's so special about this snowball? Ah! Touch it, this snow is warm. No way, this is a flaming snowball. Did Mathias' kids play with these things?
-
Christmas Breeze
Lady
Why did Mathias think that a child not yet born had talents so important that he would sacrifice himself to protect them? I saw some ornaments with Christmas stars on them at the North Pole. Would you look for it?
This Christmas decoration with lots of stars looks just like the windmill in my yard! But it spins without the wind blowing. Perhaps Mathias' child had a talent for wind magic?
-
Parenting by Magic
Icy
Mathias' children were born with special talents. Elias' job was to develop that talent. The family must have left town before the baby was born. But I see a lot of toys in that town. So they were back in town after that. A Christmas miracle will help us find out the truth. For starters, look for a rattle in "North Pole Town".
Oh, this rattle sings Christmas songs by itself! Who made these magical toys for Mathias' children? They seemed to love the child very much!
-
Voices from the North
Juliette
At first I thought the spirit of Mathias was dancing. But then I figured it out. He's spinning around, mimicking the blizzard that's hitting the city. Now he is imitating the blowing of a battle horn. I wonder if he is referring to the horn at the end of the "Snow Queen" letter. Let's go to the Arctic Circle and look for that horn!
Amazing! Looks like the spirit of Mathias doesn't want to be anywhere near this sinister northern horn. Oh, look. The blizzard in the City of Shadows just intensified with the appearance of this horn.
-
The Wonders of Comets
Helen
The Snow Queen terrorized people on an icy planet. As the daughter of an astronomer, let me tell you this. I'm an astronomer's daughter, and I can tell you that a comet could wipe out Christmas! But I don't see any such omens anywhere on the celestial map. Icy says she senses a certain stellar magic coming from "North Pole Street." Can you help me find the source of it?
This looks more like a mace, a medieval weapon, than a comet! Did I take too literally what the "Snow Queen" said in her letter?
-
feathered god of death
Huntress
I saw a shadow with horns near the woods. Do you think the "Snow Queen" brought those monsters here to make Christmas disappear? I haven't found any connection yet. Maybe they are flying monsters. Look for their feathers in the Arctic Circle. I'll see what kind of monster I'm dealing with.
This is an "ice harpy feather." Sharp as a razor blade. In my opinion, as an experienced hunter, this creature must have driven every animal in the forest away from that town. The Snow Queen has taken away their prey and their means of transportation!
-
Deep freeze
Martha
Why did the "Snow Queen" lock those poor hunters in town? Even Nicholas was trapped in that frozen land! And what did she do then? I can see her face, it's like a mask of ice. Look for something like that in Arctic Town.
Apparently, wearing this ice mask increases the power of the "Snow Queen". The rivers around the town have frozen over, down to the smallest waterways. Even the riverbeds are completely frozen over. People couldn't even get water or fish!
-
No candy, only whips.
Inspector
We have been involved with a few witnesses who were not able to speak. The ghost of Mathias wants to assist us in our investigation. I suspect that his suffering is due to the fact that the town was razed to the ground after the "Snow Queen" attacked it. See, here's a new clue! The ghost is acting like he is whipping someone. Let's look for the whip in "Arctic Town," shall we?
I gestured and talked with Mathias. The "Snow Queen" used this magical "ice whip" to create a strong wind. This made it impossible for people to leave the town.
-
Rough ice
Juliette
Poor Lumika. She's been torn away from everyone she loves and driven out of town. And to top it off, her genie friends have turned their backs on her! But why did she stubbornly set out for the Crucible of Cold? According to the vision Martha had, it must be a bad place...did Lumika freeze to death? Look for something completely frozen in "Arctic Town".
Oh my god! Poor kingfisher, it froze while flying! Could this be because of the "melting pot of cold"? Did Lumika go to this place to die?
-
Castle or Luke
Cardsharp
There is only one piece left. There is one name for the piece that is still complicated. It's a translation problem, and it's called a castle, a tower, a rook, or even a chariot. Find me the rook of Friedrich the Great of Prussia. That will finally allow you to defeat Robbie Schieffer!
Here it is, the rook of Friedrich the Great. You know, he played chess with that Voltaire. No, they played against each other in correspondence. But that doesn't take away from his talent, does it? Besides, it would give him plenty of time to think.
-
Peak of force
Isabelle
Everything that Lumika's magic has created, both accidental and intentional, is quite brilliant. But they are a long way from true power. Perhaps she went looking for power in the Crucible of Cold? Look for powerful symbols of the north in the Arctic Circle!
Oh my God, you found the real "Northern Lights." On her long journey to the Crucible of Cold, Lumika was practicing her northern magic. Until she reached the peak of her power. And she lit up the heavens with the Aurora Borealis!
-
as white as snow
Valerie
I still have no idea why on earth Lumika's story would help save Nicholas. Surely the "Snow Queen" is keeping Nicholas in the "crucible of cold" where that lonely girl is headed? Yes, it is! Lumika was making friends in the snow, wasn't she? Maybe one of those friends came to her rescue. Let's go look for her!
I found a bear-like block of ice. Martha said the good winter nymphs have started avoiding Lumika and her magic. They've abandoned their snowy bodies and flown away, she said.
-
uncontrollable force
Icy
Even if she could not control her powers, to me there is nothing wicked about Lumika's winter magic. But her talent is too powerful for a mere girl! I am sure she was trying to suppress her powers on her way to the "Crucible of Cold". Look for anything...elaborate that she tried to create in "Arctic Town."
These "ice flowers" were created by Lumika's magic! Does that mean she was able to control her talent through the hardships of her journey? Oh my God, there are drops of blood in the ice!
-
Rewards for Courage
Detective
There's always plenty to do for the Shadow City detectives. There's no rivalry between us. I remember the day Dip got his badge of courage. We're gonna find that thing.
I'm glad to have a trustworthy guy like Agent Dipp on board. Hopefully this badge will remind him of the joy of being a detective and the pride that comes with it.
-
Hunter of the North
Martha
The spirit of Mathias spoke to me! He didn't even speak to me in the spirit world, but from his memories I was able to match the frequency to Lumika's aura. And to connect with her possessions. Mathias wants to know what happened after she went to the Crucible of Cold. She didn't even take any food with her... we need to find some plants to eat.
This plant was frozen and not edible! Lumika must have been very hungry. But everything she touched turned to ice. I have no idea how she survived.
-
Dangerous needlework
Martha
Lumika has fallen in love with Mathias, the hunter. But I don't think he is trying to interfere with Nicholas' investigation to tell his love story. There is something going on. I can feel Lumica's aura from the knitted woolen thing in the sleigh. It looks like a girl spun the yarn for him. Look for the girl's spinning wheel in the Arctic Circle.
From this powerful northern aura, it seems that Lumika used this spinning wheel a lot. Oh, what a powerful illusion... the spinning wheel is spinning, creating a blizzard! The power of the orphan increases!
-
Winter Fun
Detective
I don't know how Lumika's story will help Nicholas, but let's look into that orphan's past to save Christmas, shall we? Maybe the girl even had some winter fun with her friends? What do kids like to do? Sledding? Let's find out!
The Finnish sled can only be used by two people, you know. Apparently, the orphan had a friend. There's a heart and a name engraved on the inside of the sleigh: "Lumika" and "Mathias"! Who the hell are they?
-
general
Cardsharp
I think we could use Timur's talents. This general was so passionate about chess that he even changed some of the rules of the game. After his death the new rules have been forgotten. Find me a knight of Timur.
You found a knight from Timur's chess set! That's phenomenal! Even from a distance I can feel the power and strength you have built into this little chess piece.
-
Arctic animals
Lady
It turns out that Lumika was born with a natural talent for northern magic. So she gave life to objects made of snow and lived on the outskirts of the hunter's town of Korjula. We also learned that the orphan was found in the woods. Could there have been a connection between her and nature? We have to look for objects that would indicate a connection between her and these animals!
Are you really saying that Lumika made this "frozen feeder"? As expected, she was feeding the birds and animals of the forest. This girl seems to have a good heart!
-
Frozen Gifts
Icy
From the cradle of Lumika, we feel the magic of the North! By the way, Lumika means "white snow". The magic of this region may help save Nicholas and Christmas. I sensed the same magic from the snowman in "North Pole Town." Please go find that one.
The snowman began to come to life! The snowman told me. It was the orphan Lumika who created him! She had the gift of winter magic. She could speak with the spirits of the north and avoided people.
-
monster slayer
Huntress
The Shadow used something disguised as a notebook to put a curse on Agent Dip? Dip did more than me the other day in slaying the monster. This master hunter outranks the lady hunter. Look for the "Shadow Mastery Trophy."
The "Shadowy Greatest Trophy" is awarded only to the most outstanding vanquisher of villains. It's a testament to the hand of the resident concessionaire. Hopefully Agent Dip will be back with us soon.
-
Child of the North
Juliette
Dear friends, I kind of know what that ghost is trying to show me. It's like a gesture game. He's trying to tell us what happened to this town. So it was just a bunch of hunters who lived here, and some lonely person lived on the outskirts. If we find a cradle in this plot, maybe we can find out what happened.
Inside this "warm cradle" is a name engraved "Lumika." There doesn't seem to be a last name. The ghost was referring to the woods. Oh, okay. The hunters found the girl there!
-
Celebration Pie
Huntress
Me and Isabel gathered the last remaining ingredients and made a "pumpkin pie" for the feast. But on the way here we ran into a monster and an anomaly. We took a side road. I had to leave the pie in the Valley. Friends, bring it to the table.
I appreciate it! Hope the "pumpkin pie" turned out well. Isabel and I worked very hard on it. To tell you the truth, Isabelle is like a sister to me. In fact, we are a lot alike!
-
Taste of Childhood
Martha
No good Thanksgiving feast is complete without "sweet potatoes". I can't make them, but that's one thing that sets them apart from just another dinner. Can't you get it from somewhere? Look in the valley.
This "sweet potato" smell reminds me of my childhood. The mayor promised to teach me how to cook sweet potatoes! Sometimes the mayor is like an uncle who cares for everyone.
-
Overwhelming heat
Icy
We cannot bring Peter and Dorothy back without fighting off the eternal cold. It is a terrible cold that comes after every living thing that exists out there. We must find a way to get rid of it. Speaking of which, the anvil of the witch doctor contains a primal flame. It is exactly what we need. Can you help us find it?
This anvil emits such intense heat that it makes one dizzy. Let's heat this up even more and release that heat into the halls of Krampus. This should help to fight off the eternal cold.
-
omen of spring
Sharon Winter
When those boys come home, I will warm them up right away and tell them that they have nothing to worry about anymore. Icy said that there is a magic maypole that will surely provide warmth no matter how bad the weather is. Can you help me find such a maypole for my children?
The silk ribbons on the maypole are swaying so gracefully... Icy says that this maypole can attract spring sunlight, fight off winter cold, and even melt snow. With this, Peter and Dorothy should be able to return without freezing or catching the wind!
-
Sweet and tangy
Conductor
I hear you are gathering food for a family feast, but what about drinks? I made some fruit cider from what I had in storage and brought it with me, but I left it in the "valley". I'll set the table with Valerie and you can fetch it for me.
That's what I'm talking about! Fruit ciders are sweet, spicy, and don't give you a hangover. Valerie will be pleased...she's a good girl. She reminds me of my girls.
-
Sweet and red.
Mistress
I'd be interested in restoring your "Autumn Mirror" too. I made a "berry sauce" out of the last wild strawberries from my garden. I think it's worth it just to invoke the energy of the feast. Bring me the Berry Sauce. I left it in that "valley."
This "berry sauce" would stand out on the banquet table. But don't let Juliette see it. She might get nervous when she sees this color...don't be silly. I'm not worried about her.
-
Holiday Basics
Inspector
The "messenger" believes that if we feast together, the family magic will restore the Mirror of Autumn. So that the city can reap the harvest. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the turkey. According to the tradition-loving detective, the turkey must be roasted until the skin is crispy. You'll have to find me a "festive turkey" from this "valley".
What a nice smell when it comes to this "festive turkey"! Actually, the reason why the detective and I have become such good friends is because we share the same taste in food.
-
Sharp-eyed shovel
Valerie
The professor is looking for an "owl shovel. Not only is it useful in the greenhouse, but it also frightens rats with its screech. He needs the energy collected by the shovel to recharge his search machine. Can you help me find the owl shovel here in the valley?
Ew, "owl shovels" are so creepy! Oh no! As soon as Scoop squealed, my pet Edward hid behind my neck, too. Oh...ouch! Eddie, don't get your claws in it!
-
quality and quantity
It's embarrassing to lose the "Mirror of Autumn." And to cause so many problems. I heard that you are going to charge the "search machine" which can find the mirror in the fog. Can I help? I saw the "turkey rake" in the valley. It's definitely one of the professor's inventions! Can you bring it to me?
Wow, when it comes to this "turkey rake", I can plow a vegetable patch in minutes! May this help the professor with his "search machine".
-
Dangerous scent
Lady Peacock
The professor asked me to find him a "sunflower tiller" to recharge his "explorer." That quirky machine not only plows the fields, it also makes them smell like flowers. Look for the "valley." The Sunflower Tiller should be there somewhere.
Have you found it already? There are many dangerous flowers in my hometown. But the fragrance of the flowers produced by this "sunflower cultivator" is a hundred times more dangerous than those!
-
Patiently gardening
Detective
The professor is looking for a "rooster funnel" to fill his "search machine" with fall energy! The inventor built it so he wouldn't forget to water his greenhouse. Besides, he says, the sound of the rooster's cry calms him down. You'll find the rooster funnel in the valley, buddy.
That was quick. Well, I'm not surprised. This "rooster's funnel" is definitely broken. It's been whimpering like a madman! I'm going to take this to the professor. In the meantime, you look for something else. I'm counting on you.
