Taste of your favorite
Angelique
This hall is pitch black. Getting to the screen is going to be harder than I thought. I just tripped over something that looks like...spilled popcorn. Let's gather it up and analyze it. I'm starting to get some idea of what happened here.
The Capuchins laced the popcorn with a sedative to put Director Black to sleep and release the monster in front of an unsuspecting audience...that's what I thought. But when I examined the popcorn, I found that nothing but salt had been added. In other words, there was nothing suspicious about the preview planned by the couple, but some anomaly must have occurred during the screening.
-
Rose-colored glasses
Vera
The batteries in my flashlight are dead. And the emergency lighting isn't very bright, so I can't see much around me... the screen at the back of the hall is flickering. There doesn't seem to be an audience here. There is only the monster. Let's go to the screen. Wait a minute. I think I stepped on something. Are those... glasses? Check it out.
These are polarized glasses. When you wear them, the movie on the screen looks three-dimensional. There are several pairs of similar glasses... Perhaps the monster appeared after the movie started showing as usual and the audience panicked and ran away. Oh, and the werewolf walked by! But that was weird... why didn't he attack?
-
Monster Nest
Vera
This is the "White Hall" mentioned in the invitation. There's a big chair blocking the entrance. It's as if they're trying to trap something inside. I wonder if the Capuchins did this. Let's move the chair out of the way. Be careful...
Watch out! A huge gargoyle just came flying out of Whitehall! That's why the chairs were blocking the entrance. Where the hell did that gargoyle come from? Let's go inside...it looks different from the rest of the hall.
-
drop of gold
Angelique
When making perfume, the balance of ingredients is very important. Therefore, all ingredients must be accurately weighed with a perfume dropper. Could you please find a small bottle with a dropper?
The small bottle with dropper can be used as a perfume bottle. Thank you for helping me find just the right one. Now I can not only accurately measure all the ingredients, but also put the finished perfume in it and take it to Fabian right away. I hope he will like it...
-
one's dream house
Carlos Light
Ready to step into a movie theater that has become a monster nest? Please be careful! Enter the Capuchin Movie Theater to find out where the monsters came from and how to get rid of them.
This movie theater is filled with the smell of velvet and old films. I would love to bring my daughter and son to this lovely theater, if only there were no monster attacks. Let's find out what happened here. Find out where the monsters came from and where Director Black and the others went.
-
Moon Shine
Salem
I hope we can get the boat in Carone safely out of the dreaded Snake River maze. May the red moon be on our side...yes, I just thought of a great idea! Make the moonlight even brighter with artifacts. That way, we should be able to steer the carrone in the other world toward the moon.
Then I'll begin the ritual. Keep your eyes peeled for the sight of the boat in Calone. The smoke from the millennium tree slice summoned the spirits, the stone from the abyss dispelled the darkness... and the moonlight lit our way back from the other world! Looks like it worked! Look, a boat of carrons has emerged from the darkness!
-
Overcoming Dangers
Salem
In the Snake River, thick darkness and blackness surround you at all times. So Karoun must not be able to see much around him. But I have heard about a rare stone that was taken from the abyss. With it, we should be able to break down the wall of darkness. Will you help me find it?
Wow, you found the stone of the abyss! I can't imagine how much you risked to bring this to me. While you were looking for the stone, I thought of a way to use it to dispel the darkness. If you arrange the stones in a special shape like this...
-
Circle Magic
Jack
If I could bring the boat back from the Snake River, then Karone would firmly deliver the invited guests from the other world to the Ball of the Immortals. To protect the boat from the magic of the dark manipulator, I will build an amulet for the return trip. Will you lend me a hand?
Thanks to you I got a great amulet! I placed a miniature of the Karoun's boat inside the circle of amulets. As long as it is inside the circle, the boat should be protected from the magic of the dark manipulator.
-
Dancing with the Wind
Salem
If the dark manipulators find out that we are trying to bring Karoun back from the Snake River, they will try to stop us by any means necessary. I'll ask the spirits dancing with the wind to increase the speed of our boat. Do you know where we can find wind chimes to call the spirits?
You found a nice wind chime! It rings so loud when the wind blows. I'm sure the spirits dancing with the wind will hear it and come running right away. It's a request from the Queen of the Night. I'm sure she'll lend a hand. In return, I will invite them to the ball.
-
long root
Jack
The Snake River, as its name suggests, is serpentine and rough. There are rapids and sharp rocks, but the spirit of the tree would protect a boat of carrone trees heading this way. I want you to look for a piece of wood from a millennium tree. We need to burn it to communicate with the spirit.
You brought a piece of wood from a thousand year old tree! The one you cut from a fallen branch without damaging the tree? The millennium tree has roots so long that they reach to other worlds, where the spirits of the tree live. If Salem lights this piece of wood on fire, the smoke from it should bring her call for help to the spirits.
-
last ray of hope
Salem
The creatures of the other world will be outraged if the Ball of the Immortals is not held. That's what the Dark One wants. We need to get Karoun's boat back from the Snake River before the long midnight hour is over! Can you help me get a ball of algae out of the river? I'll explain why later.
You cast a spell on the ball of algae they brought you and tie the end to the dock. Then give the other end to the river spirit. I'll have them stretch it all the way to the boat in Carone. That should free the boat that got caught in the complicated Snake River current.
-
Capturing the Image
Salem
Perhaps even Karoun himself has no idea how deep into the other world the boat has been taken by the dark manipulator. I'll manage to locate the invited guests through the ritual. Can you help me find the catcher's mirror? With it, I should be able to project the images that have surfaced in my consciousness!
I'm going to send the image I saw during the ritual to this mirror. See the cobwebs on it? This will capture what the medium sees and keep it from escaping. Imagine. Everything that is happening in my consciousness will be reflected!
-
The Feathered Messenger
Jack
There is a raven that often visits the docks to see Karoun, and Salem intends to call him during the ceremony. The raven is said to be connected to the spirit world and will help him find Karoun and his guests. But in order to call him, they need the image of the Raven at night.
With this statue, Salem would be able to call the Raven of the Night. To ask him to find Karoun and his invited guests in the other world. It is said that ravens have the ability to call out what is happening in the spirit world. That's why the ancient wizards are said to have tamed them.
-
an ethereal world
Salem
Once the ritual begins, we'll need to go to the ethereal world to find the boat of the Carron. We need a celestial pendulum to guide us along the way. We must complete the ritual before the long midnight hour is over. Where can I get such a pendulum?
Thanks for finding the celestial pendulum. You saved me again! Mediums use this as a compass. I'm sure it will show you the way out of the ethereal world. Oh, if only I knew enough to perform the ritual successfully...
-
Energy Traces
Jack
Once the ritual begins, Salem would go into a meditative state in order to sense the energy of the distant Kalone. But to do that, he would need something of Kalone's. I believe there is a cracked oar around here somewhere that he left behind. Find it with me!
We are lucky to find the oar that was cracked when Kalone last went to the other world. It is no longer useful, but it still contains traces of Kalone's energy. If we can free this energy, it should be able to tell Salem where Kalone is.
-
Magic Communication
Salem
I am going to try to use magic to communicate with the boat in Calone. That way we can see where we've been taken by the dark manipulator. But you know, I've never actually tried that before. Can you help me gather the things I need for the ritual? First, the shells that Karoun scraped off the side of the boat earlier.
You found a shell that Carone had scraped off when he was cleaning the boat. This is no ordinary shell. There is a water spirit living inside. Here, put your ear close to it. Can you hear them whispering? I'll ask them where Karoun's boat is now.
-
First Kidnapping
Salem
Any information you can give me about the dark manipulators would surely be helpful. I once found a witch's pouch when I was locked in the dungeon. That means someone had been kidnapped before me. I brought the pouch back with me with the intention of finding out who it was. Let's go over it together!
Look, the name of the first Queen of the Night is embroidered on the witch's pouch. Oh, by the way, Jack told me that the Dark One once kidnapped the Queen of the Night in order to stop the Ball of the Immortals. Unlike the other creatures of the other world, he wanted to bring back the Red Moon Night Hunt.
-
A Corner of Darkness
Jack
The one who controls the darkness is called the "primordial Dark Lord". They are said to live in a place where even creatures from other worlds stay away, but what kind of place is that? All I remember are the walls of the dungeon in which Salem was confined. I'll need my eyes in the dark to peer into his world. Find out with me.
It must not have been easy to find this dark eye. Well done. Now let's take a peek into the world of the dark manipulator... oh, what a creepy place! That guy apparently lives on the frontier of darkness. A place inhabited by unspeakably horrible and evil things. Don't look there unless you want to have nightmares later.
-
real face
Salem
All the knowledge I have gathered about the dark manipulator should help me in confronting his dark magic. When I was locked in the dungeon, I managed to take off his mask. I still have it. Here, take it in your hand. It still radiates cold air!
I took off his mask because I wanted to see what was underneath. But there was something horrible hidden there. I saw there everything I feared. It is said that the face of the Dark One is made up of the nightmares of those who live. So it is better for you not to see his true face!
-
one who fears the dark
Salem
He made me a master of darkness before I had eternal life. Now that I am Queen of the Night, I have no fear of him. He enchanted the door latch and locked me in the dungeon. Jack broke it and saved me, but somehow he came back with the latch. Come on, I'll show you!
Look, the magic cast by the Dark One is still very subtle. His magic was created from a very dark energy that originated in the heart of another world. But Jack's love for me broke the spell on the latch. Yes, love is stronger than darkness.
-
The Otherworldly Abyss
Salem
I will not let a dark manipulator interrupt the ball! I suggest we find out everything that is known about him in this world and in other worlds. Maybe then we can find out what his weakness is. He kidnapped me using something called the "tambourine between worlds. Find it with me!
This tambourine reminds me of when I was kidnapped. That guy came out of nowhere and hit the tambourine. Then a portal opened and pulled me into an otherworldly abyss. He used the magical power of this tambourine to gain the ability to travel between two worlds.
-
What wins the first dance
Salem
The Ball of the Immortals will last until the end of the "Long Zero Hour," which occurs only during the red moon. The first guest to arrive at the ball will have the right to ask me for the first dance under the red moon. Will you help me find my dance card?
You found a downscale card that fits my costume well! I'm sure many of the guests at the ball will want to dance with the Queen of the Night. I am sure they will sign up in advance. I must write down the number of the dance and the name of the dance partner on the dance card so that I don't forget whose request I accepted.
-
taste of fear
Jack
The Ball of the Immortals began with the wish that the creatures of the other world could enjoy the red moon night without preying on those who have life. But the invitees would need something to quench their thirst. Salem prepared a special drink for them. Will you help me bring this cauldron of horror to the Great Hall?
Okay, let's put the cauldron of horror here. Thanks for lending a hand! This cauldron is filled with the fears of the living. Just one sip and you will feel their immense fear. It is an exquisite treat for creatures of another world. They love the taste of fear.
-
River of Roses
Jack
I sent Kalone to pick up the invited guests. Before his boat returns from the other world, let's decorate the river of oblivion with more rose petals. Because it's not enough at all as it is now! Can you help me find some petals with me?
You've collected a basketful of fresh petals. Salem will be very pleased! Look, look. The river of floating petals is as red as the moon. This should whet the appetite of the otherworldly creatures. There will be plenty of treats waiting for them at the ball.
-
The Moon's Chosen One
Salem
I still have a lot of work to do for the Ball of the Immortals, but with your help it should be over soon. Oh, I forgot to put the red moonlight in the amulet! While I get ready for the ball, will you take this amulet and hold it up to the moonlight?
Thank you! Thanks to you, my amulet is filled with moonlight. As long as I have this amulet, the red moon will protect me. Now I won't be attacked by creatures from other worlds. It is said that only the chosen ones can receive the blessing of the red moon.
-
Last Hunt
Salem
It was a long time ago. Otherworldly creatures went hunting every night of the red moon, terrorizing the living and feeding on their fear. But a wise queen put a stop to it. Can you help me find the empty sheath that symbolizes the last hunt? It should be on display at the entrance to the Great Hall.
Invitees who see this empty sheath will be reminded that the hunt for terror is a thing of the past. The wise queen put an end to this terrible tradition and held the Ball of the Immortals to commemorate it. At this ball, she was given the title of "Queen of the Night.
-
A feast of horrors
Detective
Since becoming Queen of the Night, Salem has taken on a great deal of responsibility. Poor thing, she looks completely exhausted. I didn't know there was going to be such a celebration, but why don't I help you prepare for it? I'll write down everything Salem taught me in my investigation journal!
-
Under the Red Moon
Detective
There's something eerie about bright red moonlight. What in the world can a flesh-and-blood person like us do for the Queen of the Night? Hey, let's go to the River of Forgetfulness. Salem may be waiting for us there. Aren't you afraid of ghosts? Be prepared for a lot of ghosts!
What an eerie place. It gives me goosebumps! An empty boat bobbing on the pier. A river decorated with rose petals... a sight I've never seen before, but it goes well with the red moon. Candles are burning in the pumpkins and the suspicious light of a flashlight is flickering on the wall. Where the hell is Salem?
-
Wild Beauty
Juliette
There's another very beautiful lily called the Pizantine Lily. It's a flower that grows in the fields of Greece. But you can find it in the City of Shadows. It is a worthy addition to the greenhouse.
What about the Pizantine Lily? I know you do, it's so beautiful! Hey honey, my greenhouse will be the best!
-
A word for everything.
Detective
I've used a lot of paper to master the art of haiku. Sometimes it was just a string of words, even though I felt like I could have done it! But we gathered many fans and uchiwa (fans) to understand the symbolism of Japanese poetry. For the sake of Juliette and her friends, I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by. It's one or the other. Magic of the city, help us! Let the trials begin.
Martha used an artifact. Oh, I'm beginning to see words on this fan or fan. I think of you, the flames of Fuji burning in my heart...! Did I say this? Look, a box of cherry blossoms. And there's a letter, too!
-
It's time to be patient.
Mei
I have never heard of a Westerner trying to master the poetry of the East! If your detective is going through the "poetry ordeal", he will be the first one to do so! As part of my studies, I am learning Japanese haiku. Look for the fan with the pine tree on it, which symbolizes waiting.
A fan with a picture of a pine tree on it. It will give the detective patience and bring to mind the words of a haiku. It is important for both trials and matters of the heart.
-
fork of the road
Detective
For me, support from Juliette is very important. Especially in this ever-so-ordinary "poetry ordeal." But is it wrong to do this ordeal for her? No, let's not mess around anymore! Everywhere in the world, the sun and the moon are used as images of man and woman. Japan is no exception! Would you look for a fan like this one in the garden?
This military bandage depicts the sun and the moon. It's as if you and I are always close, but we will never be together forever... This guy is not a haiku, buddy. Yeah, I feel like I'm drowning, man. That's too hard.
-
From the soil to the sky
Juliette
So the detective has decided to take on the most difficult of the garden ordeals! How can I help him? Okay, I've heard the lyrics to this song! I've heard the lyrics to a song. "Only he who writes poetry finds love." The song was also about the lotus flower. My dear friend, please find me a lotus fan!
It's a feminine fan with a lotus on it! The lotus symbolizes the purity of life in the mud. The lotus takes root in the mud and emerges on a clean lake. Dear friend, I hope this will help you to master poetry!
-
The Yellow Rose of Sorrow
Mistress
Get the "poetry trials" out of the way. I'm sick and tired of all this hoopla. You say it's a symbol of haiku? Some unfortunate soul once gave me a fan with a yellow yamabuki on it. That Japanese rose represents melancholy and sadness. I saw a fan similar to that in the garden. Find it and bring it to the detective. Give him something to think about.
Ah, the yellow yamabuki fan. I recognized it immediately. The Japanese confetti symbolizes the fleeting nature of life. It's the same emotion that women have for those who admire them!
-
blaze of Mt Fuji
Valerie
It wasn't just bonsai that I learned. I also read haiku. Translated, of course. I want to help the detective with his "poetry trials! Japan has many unique poetic images. Fuji, for example. Fuji, for example, and there are many poems written about it! I saw a fan with that picture on it somewhere in the garden... can you help me find it?
Fuji on this fan! In haiku, you see, the flame of Fuji is compared to the flame of love. I am sure that the detective is trying to spell out his love for Juliet through the words of haiku by trying to "perfect the art of poetry".
-
devil of many faces
Alex
Juliette has to go through the "people-reading ordeal." To do that, she has to become a master human reader. My band was once looking for an evil image. Then I saw a tengu mask used in another theater. Can you find it for us in the gardens?
The mask of a hideous monster, right? It's called a tengu, a horrible red devil. Usually it symbolizes all the bad qualities a person has. I hope this helps Juli.
-
true hero
Detective
My Juliette is going through a "people-reading ordeal"? If it doesn't work out, she'll lose her compassion and turn into a cold, icy person. No, I don't even want to think about that! In Japanese Kabuki, the actors wear special makeup. Search the gardens and you will find masks of kabuki heroes with makeup.
This is truly the face of a hero! The red lines on this mask symbolize an aggressive nature or something...I hope this helps Juliette.
-
man of many talents
Conductor
I'm not much of a theater or play guy. But Juliette has a kind heart and I'd like to help her with her "people-reading ordeal." I've seen the puppet masks at the museum. It was the face of an old man used in bunraku. It was described as "the mask of an old artisan. Look for it in the garden.
It's the old craftsman's lieutenant's face! This has a meaning, you see. It means that a "man of many talents" with a heart of gold is lurking behind that simple old face. Just like me, ha ha. Hope this guy is useful to Juli.
-
Trampled symbols
Mr. Black
I wouldn't feel safe walking around the building until I've checked out the points of concern. For example, the Security Department flag is missing. It was displayed in a prominent place at the entrance to the building. Did the Shadow disciples rip it off when they raided the building? Look for it with me!
Did it fall on the floor? And there's even shoe prints on it. It was definitely the cult's miscreants who pulled this off. I will never forgive them. It is nothing but an insult to treat an important symbol of the TSA like this!
-
The long-awaited reunion
Mr. Black
This is the entrance to the Security Bureau headquarters. Funny...the password I used to use to open the door doesn't work. Who the hell changed it? Fortunately, I'm the one who invented the defense system here. Now, get out of the way! Turn this, lift the lever... okay, it's open. Follow me.
It has been a long time since I have been here. I still remember the day the fog approached. I ordered my men to protect the classified documents, but as you can see, they didn't make it with everything. What the hell is going on here...my portrait is on the floor. And your assistant Violet's portrait is on the wall!
-
hidden value
Juliette
You have to master the art of reading people. Do you think Japanese masks will help with that? I remember a story about a young woman's Noh mask called a ko-mask, used in the Japanese Noh play. I can't remember who told me about them! Could you please find those masks in the garden?
The masks of young women used in Noh theater represent purity and innocence. It can be difficult to find. Because purity is defenseless and must be hidden from evil.
-
Hook a liar.
Cardsharp
I hear our compassionate acceptance has decided to learn about the human heart in order to get through the "human reading ordeal"? That old card cheater is good at what he does! I wonder what it must feel like to look into the soul of a liar? Hermes in Greek mythology, Loki in Norse mythology...I read something about them. In Japan, lying masks, also known as Hyottoko, are used in Kyogen. Search the gardens to find it.
The lying face looks like it's blowing cigarette smoke. But the truth is, he's whispering a sweet lie. Let's let that sweet Juli tell the difference between a swindle and a joke.
-
narrow path over a rock
Huntress
Valerie will get you through the "trials and tribulations of manufacturing". She's a fighter, just like me. How can I help her? I've seen a picture of a bonsai tree "made with stones". I think it is a symbol of conquest in life. Fighting through and through, even through the stones. Find Valerie a bonsai like that.
It's a bonsai made with stones. Small, but a true warrior, like Valerie! Or like me. Even as a child I fought my way through the dungeons and found my way... give her this tree.
-
generation bridge
Lady
The only way to show the invisible referee of the Japanese garden that Valerie is successful in the "trials and tribulations of monozukuri" is to understand not only that bonsai can be beautifully cut, but also the meaning of its form. I once grew a stock-stand bonsai for my grandmother. Would you be interested in finding something similar to that?
Valerie could learn a lot from a stock-built bonsai. See how all the trunks are coming from one stock? My grandmother said that this tree symbolizes the continuation of generations.
-
Toward the Wind
Lady Peacock
The Japanese Garden has put Valerie through the "trials of monozukuri". Please help her overcome her ordeal! Valerie has mastered the basics of the art of bonsai better than my royal gardener! In fact, I once had a bonsai made of oblique trunk. Let's see if we can find something similar in the garden.
The intricate shape of the slant-trunk bonsai represents the way the tree constantly bends and struggles in the wind. That's what my gardener taught me. Valerie is going to learn bonsai.
-
Stability and Harmony
Juliette
If Valerie fails her "trial of making things," even her talent will be lost. She told me that it would be a good idea to start by mastering the "straight" bonsai. It's called a straight trunk bonsai, a symbol of stability and harmony. Find it in the garden, dear friend!
A straight trunk bonsai resembles a pyramid. I'm sure this will help Valerie master the basics of the Japanese art form. Valerie is mumbling something as she carefully observes this tree...
-
Just in time.
Detective
I'm surprised Valerie decided to take on the "manufacturing ordeal". She should be commended. Yes, she may not be the most patient, but she is certainly the most creative person in town. If Valerie can't beat herself up and follow the path of the maker, all is lost. Valerie sent me here immediately to look for cliff bonsai in the garden. Let's get to it, shall we?
Valerie said that this suspended bonsai resembles a tree growing on a cliff. In Japan, he said, this symbolizes the harshness of survival. I hope this guy helps with the ordeal.
-
golden rat (any rodent of family Rodentidae, esp. the Japanese grass rat, Rodentia japonica)
Cardsharp
Martha can only overcome the "ordeal of meditation" when she has tamed the demon that lives within her. She asked me to find her some Japanese netsuke to help her concentrate? These little darlings are more than just souvenirs. These antique netsuke bring good luck. My favorite is the rat netsuke. It is a symbol of wealth! Find it in the garden.
The rat netsuke helps Martha meditate on the material world, and gamblers like me have them for a reason. There is a reason why gamblers like me have them!
-
The Cycle of Life
Monk
In the "ordeal of meditation," Martha must know not only her own mind, but also the Japanese philosophy and how to use it. For example, there is a very special relationship between death and longevity. This is symbolized by the netsuke of the crane. Look for it in the garden.
It is not only in Japan that the crane netsuke is a symbol of longevity. It is also true in other Oriental countries. Concentrate on Martha there. You will learn something about the value of life and death.
-
moon rabbit
Juliette
I have to help Martha in her "meditation ordeal." A detective once gave me a rabbit netsuke and a postcard as a souvenir. The postcard said, "The rabbit is a symbol of compassion and self-sacrifice. Let's go to the garden and find the rabbit netsuke for Martha. Compassion might come in handy for her.
This adorable rabbit netsuke sees through people's hearts! The Japanese people of old really understood the nature of compassion, didn't they? Give this rabbit to Martha. It will help her in her ordeal.
-
Tiger in the Garden
Detective
I can't find what Martha needs to pass the "meditation ordeal". Why don't we try to guess somehow and help her? My boss has a tiger netsuke on his table. In Japan, the tiger is a symbol of power. We need to find a tiger in the garden.
Who knew finding a tiger netsuke could be so tricky, huh? Look at this beast. Through this netsuke, Martha will find power and blessings in her own soul. I hope it does.
-
The Beauty of Snakes
Valerie
I wish I could help! Martha has to go through this "meditation ordeal". I borrowed a pamphlet from an Asian store. It's all about netsuke. Here's something interesting. It's a symbol of magical powers, telepathy, and space-time. It's a snake netsuke! Let's look for it in the garden.
This snake netsuke has beautiful scales carved into it! This symbolizes feminine beauty as well! I hope Martha can focus on this snake and take on her ordeal.
-
tight knot
Monk
I know a little about the Japanese Samurai tradition. Why don't we help women hunters prepare for the "warrior trials"? In their home country, it is no exaggeration to say that a warrior's symbolism and appearance represent his or her fighting ability. Find the decorative knots of armor in the Japanese garden. Then I will explain it all to you.
These decorative knots are worn on samurai armor and are shaped to symbolize the warrior's character. Why don't we use this knot to give the female hunter the blessing of her ancestors?
-
Warrior Stability
Inspector
Women hunters need to be fully equipped for the Trials of the Mononofu. A warrior who has made a name for herself needs more than just skill. They need stability. They need foot armor to support it. I have read about a pair of koukake tabi, which were worn by the samurai. I think I might be able to find it somewhere in this garden. We need to find it!
Is that a Tabi Shoes? It's made of very hard leather! I hope the female hunters can wear them. If not, you will fall into the "warrior's ordeal".
-
strong defence
Isabelle
I bet a woman hunter could master any weapon and pass the "warrior's test." But a skilled warrior also knows how to defend herself. I have a piece of armor I've been wanting to make for her. So I learned about a type of armor with a pattern called tortoiseshell. I saw it today in the garden. Look for it!
The tortoise shell pattern on this armor will protect the female hunter from enemy attacks. But this armor is hard to move in. It takes some getting used to.
-
well-known blade
Detective
The lady hunter is an incredibly brave woman, man. If she fails to master the art of the Samurai, if she fails to overcome the "warrior's ordeal", the Japanese garden will take away her strength and fighting skills. Let's help the lady hunter become the perfect Japanese warrior. Find a sword in the garden.
I've read about the sword. The sword is the very symbol of Japanese warriors! Take it to a lady hunter. She will handle it perfectly and pass the "warrior's test".
-
The Cruel Stars
Huntress
How could I refuse an ordeal from the Japanese Garden? Especially since we are all going to eternal sleep. I would rather fight, be defeated, and be punished than surrender! I am a man of the warrior's way. Find me some Japanese weapons and armor in the garden. It will sharpen my skills as a warrior. Start with the shuriken, will you?
Be careful with this shuriken. These blades are very sharp! Shurikens were used by those mysterious ninja. But the Samurai also used shurikens at times. Let's start training immediately.
-
The first friend
Cardsharp
As I have said before, the life of a pirate is full of dangers. The captain's fifth friend had only one eye. And his most prized possession was his eye patch.
This silk eye patch. What a hand-knit piece of work! Looks like this pirate had good tastes!
-
The One and Only Hand
Cardsharp
It was common in battles at sea to be wounded or left with scars. The captain's fourth ally was someone who had lost a hand in a battle in which he had participated. Well, what the heck, he decided to replace it with a metal hook.
This pirate is clearly not a mere plunderer. Look at this iron hook. It is covered with jewels and beautiful patterns. A mere sailor would never have been able to acquire such a thing.
-
A Pirate's Friend
Cardsharp
The captain's third ally was a notorious drunk. His most prized possession was a bottle of Cuban rum. Well...let's find it and taste it right away!
No pirate can refuse rum. With this trusted friend, we can overcome both joy and sorrow. And so it stays with the sailor at sea... at least until the bottle is empty.
-
Dokuro ornaments
Cardsharp
The captain's second friend doted on his little pet parrot, Polly. He just could not say goodbye to this bird after she died. So he had her skull polished and embedded with jewels, which he wore as an ornament. Damn those pirates...the poor parrot never seemed to find peace in death.
These ornaments aren't bad. It's surprisingly cool. Or so I might have thought, had I not known that this was the skull of some poor parrot.

Wooden prosthesis
Cardsharp
Well then, let's start by looking for a wooden leg. It is unlikely that there will be any prosthetic limbs mixed in with the treasure.
The original owner of this wooden leg was a famous pirate, a storm conqueror....... I'm getting a little carried away with my pirate ramblings.

Under the symbol of the tiger
Juliette
I really like the tiger lilies. The Tibetans and the rulers of the east used to revere them. I hope you can bring some tra lilies to my greenhouse.
I've read all about how to grow tiger lilies... how to water them, how to light them, etc. I will put this flower in an important place in my sound quality.
-
Whiter than snow
Juliette
I've already decided what I'm going to plant. I will plant in my greenhouse... lilies. After all, the lily is a symbol in many aspects of life. For example, the Romans revered the lily as the flower of Juno. It was a symbol of hope. They are called white lilies. Could you bring them to me?
Zeus' mantle was woven of white lilies, and he would sometimes adorn the hair of Musa and the others. It was that important.

Towns mapped
Isabelle
I've almost got it. Just one more thing. A map of the city. Any kind of map will do, as long as it's detailed.
This map will do. Now we have everything we need. Can you help me? Put the map on the table and put all the balances on it. Don't forget the weighing pan.
-
The weight of everything
Isabelle
I need a set of weights to weigh them. Can you find them for me?
A brand new set of weights! It looks as if it just came out of a museum and has never been used.
-
stop the wind from blowing
Isabelle
To make sure the scale is accurate, you can't have even a hint of wind blowing. I use a vacuum bell jar. I don't have one of these.
I knew you would find me. You always find me so quickly.
-
balance dish
Isabelle
There's still something missing. We have the balance, but we don't have the plate. Let's find them.
You found me very quickly. I figured it out. It was probably in a little store that sells Chinese stuff. No, don't worry about it.
-
street manuscript
Isabelle
While exploring the city's catacombs, I found an old ritual. It told me how to get the symbol of equilibrium. It is a very valuable amulet. It balances the good and evil in a person. It also points to a special place where the magical field is out of balance. Can you help me? First we need to find the city codex. It's a symbol of stability in the city. It's an essential part of the ritual.
Yes, this is it. It describes what happened before the city of shadows was built.

A Warm Solution
Valerie
I'm racking my brain for other good ideas for your romantic date. If you're going to follow my lead, the date should be a little later in the day. It's going to get cold down by the river then. You'll need something warm. Bring a fleece blanket. It's the best solution.
This fleece blanket is amazingly lightweight. It's soft to the touch, yet warmer than a regular woolen blanket. Perfect for a romantic date. Thanks for my advice.
-
Noble lightness
Valerie
I'll have to think about what to have with her. Dry sparkling wine goes well with cake, marshmallows, fruit salad or cookies. Let's have a cake. Bring a French cake called "dacquoise". That would go perfectly with this sparkling wine.
What kind of stuff did you find? Is it coconut dacquoise? I've only had it once, but it's a taste I'll never forget. This cake is made from almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts. They all taste completely different.
-
Message from Italy
Valerie
I don't know about your girlfriend, but I love sparkling wine. That light, elegant drink is perfect for your date. Plus, it sets the mood and puts you in a festive mood. Yes, bring the sparkling wine.
Now what kind of sparkling wine did I find? No way, it's Italian Lambrusco! Tell me where you found it. I know you got it from your guide... but do you think there's one for me?
-
Romantic City
Valerie
As you know, the City of Shadows isn't that romantic. With all those werewolves, gargoyles, and boggarts... we'll just have to make our own place with a nice atmosphere. Go find a picture of Paris. Use them as if they were the actual view from the window. It'll make this place a little more romantic.
I never thought you had this kind of imagination. This scenery is really lovely. Wouldn't you like to ask me out on a date? I'm cute, I'm single, and I'm....I'm kidding, just kidding.
-
Set the mood.
Valerie
Funny, I get asked to plan dates a lot! I've never done anything like this, though. Tell me, who are you going to date? All right, you don't have to tell me. I'll find out on my own. Well, first I need a bouquet of flowers. A big, beautiful bouquet. She's younger than you? Then something in a softer color would be preferable.
This bouquet of flowers is simply stunning. But maybe a little too big...I hope you know what the situation is. How are you going to walk around with such a big bouquet? I mean, you need to settle down somewhere. I have an idea. We're going to the Red Rose Cafe by the river. What do you think?
-
omen of spring
Valerie
The last thing we need to summon the fairies is primrose or ruebeckia. According to the document, this flower makes the invisible visible. Bring me the primrose. Then you will be able to see the fairies.
According to the handbook, in order to summon the fairies, you have to eat some of the primrose flowers I brought with me. These aren't the ones that bloomed on the highway....
-
Beauty has its thorns.
Valerie
I still need something for the fairy summoning ritual, thistles. I could pull it out myself, but thistles are full of thorns. It'll work better if you bring them to me.
You can kiss them! You're not afraid of thistle thorns, are you? You can't leave it by my side. How on earth can you hold it without getting stabbed?
-
Summer Drinks
Cardsharp
I too would love to finish off a cocktail. A lime margarita would be perfect. But that's not important. I need to know the end of the pirate captain's story.
Lemon martinis are a decadent and aristocratic drink. I'll take it to the nymphs right now. Otherwise, I am going to drink it myself.
-
Citrus exhilaration
Cardsharp
Nymph's orders are getting bigger and bigger, aren't they? So, what cocktail shall I make this time? How about a lime margarita? It's unique and very tasty.
This is my kind of drink... by the way, do you have enough ingredients left to make another lime margarita? Oh well, too bad...
-
Tropical Abundance
Cardsharp
What an interesting story! Now we just have to find out how it ends. It's easy enough to find a cocktail called the Tropicana. Then the nymphs will tell us what happened to Captain Drake in return.
You were able to find the ingredients for the Tropicana so fast that you've already decorated the glass with a piece of pineapple? Your bartending talents are innate!
-
Mint freshness
Cardsharp
The nymphs wanted something cool and refreshing. I think a mojito would be just the thing.
A fresh mojito with sliced lemon and mint leaves makes a lovely drink for those who live by the sea.
-
Raspberry Delight
Cardsharp
It turns out that nymphs love light summer cocktails. Let's win them over to our side with something a little different and delicious, such as a raspberry rose cocktail. They may loosen up a bit and give us some important information about the captain of the Wandering Dutchman.
Raspberry Rose...that's where rose petal jam goes! Too sweet for me, but the nymphs would love it.
-
Symbols of my hometown
Vera
We often encounter many difficulties, but the misty backstreets are where we foragers go home. So we should add something from the misty backstreets to our memory charms. How about a potted rose, for example, which every traveler who comes there is sure to see?
Did you bring me a potted rose? Thank you. Todd hated it at first. He complained about the pawn shops that put them all over the street. But you know what, this rose is a symbol of the foggy backstreets, cozy but always dangerous. Now, let's add this to the amulet of memory.
-
Funny Hat
Vera
Todd asked me to add as many of my personal items as possible to the memory charm. The more things that remind me of me, the less likely I am to be lured into a haunted house by the fog. Could you look for my defense hat? You'll recognize it when you see it.
Yes, this is my defense hat. Todd is the one who put these cat ears on me, but I've been wearing it for a whole day without realizing it! Todd says he'll always come back from the fog, no matter what, just to make fun of my ridiculous appearance.
-
Time and Fog
Vera
A stopwatch is one of the most important tools a collector can have. Todd's stopwatch broke in the fog a long time ago, and he almost got into a dangerous situation because of it. Since then he has borrowed my stopwatch with the butterfly ornament on it. Can you bring that to me? You'll need it to make a memory charm.
I knew you could easily find the stopwatch. Isn't the butterfly ornament very fancy? And yet Todd kept it with him because I once used it to save his life. Add this stopwatch to his memory charms, and I'm sure he'll be able to resist the lure of the mist's calling.
-
inevitable sacrifice
Mayor
In order to weaken the wind and make it obey us, we need a wind map. It is the last item we need to perform the ritual and invoke the logbook.
No way! You've already found a wind map? Your talent as a discoverer is truly astonishing.
-
west wind
Mayor
Now all that remains is to find the unpredictable Zephyrus, the winds of the west. Sometimes it's a gentle breeze, sometimes it's a raging hurricane. You'll find a way to control his fiery temper.
Zephyrus, you have caught the unpredictable West Wind. You are qualified to call yourself a true windman!
-
Transient East
Mayor
Eurus migratory, the winds of the east. Easy to find, easy to catch... but beware. Eurus frequently calls up storms. So strong is its power, it can harm humans.
You got him? Hold it tight. Don't let him get away no matter what. The shifting East Wind, Eurus, is not to be underestimated. But you beat him with dignity.
-
Southern heat
Mayor
The next step would be to start looking for scorching notos and southern winds. Hopefully that warm breath will ease the bitter cold of Boreas.
Burning notos, did you catch the southern wind? Wonderful! Even I am just starting to feel a little cold being near the north wind.
-
Cold in Scandinavia
Mayor
The pirate treasure is unstable. The winds and storms have been blowing in it ever since Martha disappeared. We must catch the right wind. Let's start with the very cold Boreas, the north wind.
Watch out for the extremely cold Boreas. If they escape, the city's summer will turn into a harsh winter.
-
Sweet and mysterious scent
Angelique
To make a spring perfume, essential oils are essential to add richness to the fragrance. You can buy them at any salon, but if possible, you will want to get the ingredients yourself and make them by hand. To make essential oils, you need a special distiller. Can you please find one for me?
This distiller is brand new. The copper parts are shiny and bright... You have a very useful talent for finding things. Shall we start extracting the oil? It is a slow but very interesting process. Would you like to watch with us?
-
Buds and petals
Angelique
I know that it is very reckless for me to try to make a perfume when I don't know how to smell. But I like to take on difficult challenges. To create a spring fragrance, you need to use real flowers as ingredients. Dried petals have a sweet and sour scent. It would be nice to have that.
What do you think about the petal scents you have found? According to books on perfume, floral scents are particularly popular. Perhaps our atelier clients would like such a scent...
-
Let's add some color.
Valerie
The painter's ghost was very happy to see you. He has found almost all of his pencils. Now he wants me to find him some colored pencils. That should be easy, right? Bring the pencils. And that's the end of the matter.
Yes, this is it. This is my ghost colored pencil. Now I have found all his lost pencils. He won't be in my dreams anymore. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
-
Dandy purple
Valerie
There's even a crocus in the fairy summoning ritual. The funny thing is that the city of shadows has to gather them during the night... Not easy, but you can do it. Bring me some crocuses as soon as you can.
It's amazing! To collect buckets of crocuses in the middle of the night without the fear of gargoyles and werewolves. No doubt, this Nakayoshi's summoning ritual will be a success.
-
Collector's bond
Vera
To make a memory amulet, I need a memento... a navigation ring, for example. It belonged to Todd, but he dropped it somewhere in the backstreets. It's very important to the collector, so I really want to find it for him. Will you help me look for it?
You found a navigation ring? That's an amazing talent! Every gatherer has one of these rings. They are used for orientation, but they also serve to bind the gatherers together. It's like a ring that has been handed down from generation to generation.
-
Where the Soul Dwells
Alicia
This area of the garden is especially weedy...it looks like no one has set foot in it for a long time now. It would not be surprising if the mazes and treasures in the legend really exist. I see what looks like a house behind those trees over there...is it an optical illusion? Let's investigate together.
Oh my god! This is an impossible structure! Look at this strange structure. This must be the building that the legend calls "the maze. But what is that sound we have been hearing since a while ago? Could it be that the spirit of the designer's apprentice is really trapped inside?
-
buds of spring
Angelique
I found one of Fabian's books on perfume making. I would like to experiment by making a spring perfume. I have no sense of smell, so I have to rely on calculation and knowledge. Could you please bring some freshly picked spring flowers?
Spring flowers are so elegant. No wonder Fabien draws inspiration from spring flowers when creating his accessories. A perfume made from such flowers would surely have a gentle and delicate fragrance. I would love to smell it myself...too bad.
-
Elegant custom-made products
Anna Weber
Thank you for finding my sewing tools. Now I can finish my embroidered breastplate. Oh, what is this? It seems that part of the linework was damaged because the threader was bent on the way I brought it here! Do you have the tools to repair this? I need it to complete the breastplate.
Thanks to you, we were able to get through the pinch! Without your tools, the threader would have been useless and the linework damaged... but the embroidered breastplate was successfully completed. You see, it turned out beautifully! I'm sure your customers, who are picky about their tastes, will be delighted.
-
Pearlescent Pearls
Anna Weber
The embroidered breastplate is almost finished, but there is something that makes this an even more attractive item. Among the items Angelique brought from the mist, there should be a ruffle with pearls on it. Look for it in that box.
You found the ruffles with pearls on them. How can I thank you...Angelique brought back so many things from my home, which had been engulfed by fog. I could not have found the smallest of details so quickly among so much stuff on my own.
-
wire-work border decoration
Anna Weber
The customer who requested the embroidered breastplate is very strict with time. Failure to complete the project by the due date will cause trouble for Fabin. Would you please find some gorgeous wirework among the items Angelique brought from the fog?
This is it, the line work I was looking for! Now I just need to work on a few details and I will be able to complete the embroidered breastplate.
-
Lace pattern
Anna Weber
I was in trouble. The tatting shuttle is essential to complete the breastplate. Tatting" is the art of lace knitting, but in French it is called "frivolite. Can you help me find a shuttle, which is the tool for this? In return for your help, I will teach you a delicate technique that is my specialty.
Yes, this is my tatting shuttle! With it, I can quickly complete an embroidered breastplate. I am amazed that you found it among so many items. Angelique is a very kind mannequin, but I think she overdid my request.
