Simple pleasures
Juliette
I've been thinking a lot about what Martha said. Dear friend, one thing came to mind. A soul without a body is not afraid of the cold. But a living person needs a nice warmth. In general, there must be at least one rustic and cozy scarf in the fall, right? Find one, please!
What a soft and cozy scarf! The desire for comfort is what makes us human... I hope Jack can somehow feel this feeling.

Tragedy caused by panic
Kira Woodville
I was supposed to go to Lower City that day on an airship. In other words, I had the perfect alibi. However, on the way to the post office, the "asteroids" ran into Carlos... The knuckle duster that was recovered as evidence from the crime scene should have been around here somewhere. Please bring it to me.
Confused and panicked, the foragers hit Carlos with a knuckle buster. They almost seriously injured him. I am so sorry. We eventually got the crystal, but since then, everything has gone wrong.
-
theft plan
Vera
Keira and I came up with a simple plan. While I was in the cabaret calling Mr. Avocado and telling him about the anti-fog suit, the "asteroids" would break into the post office and steal the crystals... "asteroids" being my people. The Cotton Festival had carefully planned everything. Keira even provided us with a duplicate key to the post office. Here, look at that.
Using the key to this post office, the "asteroids" planned to access the crystal stash. This was to prevent them from forcing their way in and making noise. Keira and I had already set a date for the theft, but things did not go as planned...
-
Terms of the Transaction
Kira Woodville
I will tell you everything. But, Director Black, it is not for you to decide who is right and who is wrong. The leader of the collectors, whom I dare not name, refused to lend a hand. However, in a foggy backstreet, he met someone who was willing to make a deal with him. If you bring me a crystal thread, I will tell you about the deal.
Look closely at this crystal thread. This was made by Vila while preparing the materials for the anti-fog suit. The terms of the deal were simple. Half of the crystals would be used for the "sunbeam" and the other half would be given to Vila and the gatherers.
-
Birth of the Immoral
Mr. Black
Let me tell you all about it. That fake designer visited Keira and told her that there was a kind of anti-fog device in the designer's garden and that it needed crystals. Then Keira betrayed me and many other citizens and stole the crystals. Can you bring me some colorful eyepieces? I'll tell you how that relates to this story.
Every collector has this colorful eyepiece. They use it to distinguish between the illusion created by the fog and reality. When I discovered it in Keira's belongings, I began to think about the possibility that she was connected to the enemy side.
-
ill ominous sound
False Architect
I never thought the day would come when I would have to look for that thing... Everyone has tried to hide this... But in fact, that "shadow" is connected to the Five Wise Guardians. And he also contributed to the creation of Sunbeam. Go find the distorted clock of "The Shadow".
When the "Sunbeam" was created, the "Shadow" had not yet left the Guardianship. But I can already sense a hint of darkness from this distorting clock... this clock generates a supernatural phenomenon of time. I never thought I would need something like this to fix Sunbeam...
-
Apparatus of Harmony
False Architect
Repairs to the anti-fog device are almost done. Oh...my God! Look at this. The energy capsule is shattered. Please go find another energy capsule for the collector! Please, before Director Black returns!
Thank you for finding the collector's energy capsule so quickly. It seems that the sturdiness has not changed over the years. This is the main stabilizer of the "Sunbeam". It receives a large amount of energy and distributes it to all parts of the device.
-
Equally important calculation
False Architect
An astronomer also contributed to the creation of the "sunbeam". He used to study the effects of the stellar and lunar cycles on fog. Some of the functions of this device are also set up based on such cycles. Would you like to join us in the search for an astronomer's synchronization device?
Yes, this is it. When the "sunbeam" is activated, this astronomer's synchronization device controls the part of the sky that needs the power. It seems that when I activated the device, I accidentally broke this part.
-
Shinto ritual
False Architect
If the "sunbeam" is repaired with the help of items created by each member of the Five Wise Guardians, it should be possible to clear the fog in the city! However, this device cannot be touched by human hands because of its very delicate and fragile structure. Only a puppeteer's manipulator can do that. Can you help us find it?
I see that you have found a puppet master manipulator. Thank you for helping me in this way. With this puppeteer's manipulator, you can repair the delicate parts woven into the anti-fog device "Sunbeam" by its designer. The most important thing is to work slowly and without haste!
-
Accurate to the second
False Architect
In the first step to activate "Sunbeam" I accidentally broke it. As you may have already noticed, that is why the security system "P-2" was activated. In order to repair it, I need the master chronometer. If you bring it to me, I will explain why.
The master chronometer controls the time for each process of the "sunbeam". The designer did not build this device alone. He had the help of the members of the Five Wise Guardians. That is why it is so difficult to repair.
-
Symbols of Identity
Mr. Black
The evidence found so far is all against you. Dear designer, we would like to see proof of your identity. You were a member of the Five Wise Guardians. Please show us the medal that proves it.
Hmm, this is indeed a medal of the Five Wise Guardians. No, wait a minute...let's look at the back. This is a counterfeit! It is also of low quality. Which of the designers, the situation is getting serious. If we find one more piece of evidence like this, we will be forced to detain you on suspicion of identity fraud!
-
Picnic in the garden
Mr. Black
Why is there no sign of life in this house? May we come in and check it out? We can get a warrant if necessary. If the closet trunk is here, it seems that the defensive system of this mansion is preventing you from getting inside yourself. Let me check the trunk for you.
Which designer, I did not even check the personal belongings in the trunk. I just wanted to make sure the closet was being used regularly. Still, you might want to be careful with the trunk. The door is about to come off. Could you tell me why you are living in the garden and not in the mansion?
-
Beginner's Tools
Rayden Storke
Which designer, I know everything about you. I am an admirer of yours! While Director Black is searching the gardens, could you please teach me how to use the Fibonacci compass? I have always been very interested in this tool.
So the Fibonacci compass is a tool to determine the evenness of a circle? That's funny...I thought this compass was for calculating the golden ratio...what? Is the golden ratio to be determined by eye?
-
Defense or offense?
Mr. Black
Dear designer, do you have any weapons? It is the duty of the Director of Security to know how many weapons exist in this city. We are not asking you to hand over any guns. We just want to check your holster.
As far as I know, the designer must have hated the idea of weapons. Every device she made to protect herself was intended to intimidate, not harm. Funny that such a designer would have a gun...
-
organizational chartered organization
Mr. Black
Designer Which, while I was looking for the P-2 instruction manual, I saw in your desk drawer a coat of arms with a symbol that closely resembles the defender's emblem. Would you mind if I examine that? Eh? Refuse...? Then I will let you see it without permission.
It's funny. This coat of arms looks as if it were made by a child from materials that were available. As far as I know, there were no defenders in your childhood... who made this coat of arms? And why do you have it? I see...you are not going to open your mouth.
-
guiding star
Rayden Storke
The "S," or designer, made sure that the P-2 could not be easily deactivated. According to the instruction manual, the first item the designer made for the city needs to be inserted into the switch. I know what it is. Ever heard of something called "designer's star?" Look for it.
The "designer's star" you have found contains a special power bestowed by the fog. It is a legendary item for the people of this city. It is a legendary item for the people of this city because when the Fissure was created and the power went out all over the city, it illuminated the entire city.
-
Nuclear-free sculpture
Mr. Black
The switch to release the P-2 consists of two parts. According to the designer's note, there is something like a sculpture here. He says that is the body of the switch. Look for a statue shaped like a chipped circle. It should be slightly charred inside.
Let's compare that to the picture in the instruction manual. Yeah, it's definitely the body of the switch that disarms the P-2. Like the designer's other creations, it's a very elegant construction. She was able to transform an object just by a mental reminder. That's why she was able to create a structure that defies the laws of physics.
-
Complicated instructions
Mr. Black
While you were looking at the model, I was looking for the instruction manual for the P-2 security system. I thought if I knew how it worked, I could figure out how to disarm it. But there are so many documents that I don't think I can do it by myself. Would you mind going through the stack of documents there?
So this huge folder is the P-2 instruction manual? Okay, let's take a look inside. No, not this one... not this one either... oh, here it is... a note by "S" - a circuit for a switch to turn off the mass of lightning caused by the P-2's activation.
-
visual help
Rayden Storke
We are told that the designer made very detailed models of everything he designed. So there must be a model of this mansion somewhere...and it must include this security system. Find the model of the designer's mansion. Let's examine it.
You found a model of the designer's mansion among hundreds of models! She rebuilt the Upper City after that devastating earthquake that occurred before the "warping". Here, look at the model: two wires extend from the house to the garden. And there it says "P-2". This is the security system we have to disarm.
-
Thread Finishing
Mr. Black
Don't move! It's a trip wire! I'm holding it down by stepping on it with my foot. It's okay... relax. Where's it leading to? Oh, we're in trouble... we can't see anything because of the "do not disturb" sign! Try looking under the sign. There's got to be a trap hidden somewhere.
What? The "Do Not Disturb" sign fell off and set off the trap a long time ago, so I don't have to worry about it? Hmmm... this sign saved my life! This garden seems to be littered with traps, what secrets are the designers hiding?
-
grease the machinery
Martha
Maybe the phonograph isn't broken. Maybe it just needs to be oiled. Find the machine oil.
Now that you've gone to the trouble of finding machine oil, please clean and oil the phonograph. Oh, yes. Now let's put a record on it and listen to it.
-
Listen to the record.
Martha
I can't listen to Alex's records without a gramophone. Go find it.
This phonograph seems to be broken. It makes a squeaking sound inside, and the record doesn't spin.
-
Sudden escape
Mr. Black
I was going to climb the fence or break the lock on the gate, but what the heck, it's open... and the key is on the ground. Okay, let's get into the designer's garden. Let's disarm that pesky security system before things get any worse.
It's kind of unbelievably quiet, even though the old security system is causing lightning storms. I'd like to ask the designer how to turn that thing off, but I can't see him... Hey, look at that. There's a cup of tea on the table. And the ink on the paper isn't even dry yet...
-
Tea Wisdom
Isabelle
The ritual of raising a tea toy is a special meditation. By doing so, Martha should be able to gain strength. But to do this, she needs a special mascot that represents a Chinese animal. When you make a pot of tea, pour the tea into the tea toy. It is said that the tea toy, in return, will enhance the owner's spiritual power. First, look for a traditional tea sage figurine!
You found a ceramic figurine of a tea sage! The figurine was modeled after the first person in history to write a treatise on tea. He is revered as the "God of Tea.
-
Hime's preference
Juliette
The important thing in calligraphy is the paper, dear friend. If you give Princess Yuy a strange piece of paper, you'll upset her even more. I understand! There's all kinds of weird stuff in town, but I'm sure they had "straw paper" too.
This "straw paper" looks like it's going to get torn up pretty quickly... but I shouldn't doubt the sensibilities of the princesses! Take this to Yui. Help her get over her nightmare.
-
Better than Flowers
Kira Woodville
For my infusion, we also need larch cones. They're not only useful, but also extremely beautiful, which is why they're called "polar roses." You'll be able to appreciate how suitable this name is when we find the pink larch cones.
-
Power of Light
Huntress
No matter how cold it is, warm memories will also warm your heart, mein Freund. At home, we used to make a Christmas pyramid in the form of a carousel. I'll give Herr Nicholas such a gift to remind him that he's always welcome in the City.
When Herr Nicholas becomes Lord of Frost, he won't be able to leave the Crucible of Cold for a long time. This Christmas pyramid will remind him that there are those in the City who miss him.
-
An Arctic Expedition
Detective
The Polar Quarter seems long deserted. But there must be a reason why Icy's portal to the North Pole opened here! Let's take a look inside. This place was clearly part of a northern town. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't let them freeze over, buddy. We might be heading right into the Snow Queen's trap!
I don't see a single living soul in the Pola Quarter. But the blizzard is weakening. Wow, what's this? Santa's festive sleigh! So he went to the North Pole before us to save Nicholas! Look, there's a frost-covered not in the sleigh.
-
Ginger Heat
Lady
You've done so well - your cookies are perfect! When Nicholas becomes Lord of Frost, he'll need a lot of strength to resist the magic of the Crucible. And where can he get it, if not from cookies made with love?
-
Pocket Christmas Tree
Valerie
So that Nicholas's heart never gets covered with ice, he'll need the most important Christmas attribute - an elegant Christmas tree! I doubt he can carry a tree to the Crucible of Cold, so a pocket souvenir will be perfect here. I had one somewhere, help me find it.
-
Weightless Time
Isabelle
The Five Wise Guardians were fighting the Shadow. Their inventions speak for themselves! But you can't stop the Scarlet Star with what you found. I can feel the anomaly emerging. It's here, out in this Chamber of Secrets! That hourglass is spinning by itself. It's weightless in there! Get that bowl!
I can't believe it. The weightless anomaly in this vessel is the same magical bale that holds Juliette captive! How in the world did "The Shadow" get his hands on that guardian's invention? I can break Julie's chain with this!
-
It's nobody's house.
Martha
I can feel the soul-transfer rituals already beginning. The Scarlet Star is rising! Which of the Five Wise Guardians' legacies do we need to use to stop this demonic deed? The doll's house on top of the mirror shines in the light, doesn't it? Is this a sign of something? Bring that house here.
This isn't a doll house, it's a magical model house! What precision...the creator of this thing has left notes in the instructions. This will stop the "Scarlet Star"!
-
Mechanical Assistant
Professor
Did you not expect to see me here? Isabelle asked me to help you guys with your crazy inventions. I remember that pretty blonde. I'm sure those machines will save her. What is that knocking sound? Pigeons are knocking on the window. Let the bird in. Oh, it's a machine! Catch that pigeon!
I've seen the work of puppeteers before, and this mechanical pigeon is one of them. This bird will lead us to the Scarlet Star. To do that, we need to get this thing in shape.
-
Star Trap
Isabelle
The members of the Five Wise Guardians were good at inventing things. But which of their inventions could they use to stop the Scarlet Star and save Juliette? Look, something is spinning around the chandelier. At first I thought it was just a balloon. No, the chandelier has transformed into a model of the universe! Get your hands on it.
This model of the universe is amazingly precise! I've seen something very similar before at the Institute of Time. Does this mean that its owner is a member of the Spirit Guardians? With this model, we can find the Scarlet Star.
-
documentary film
Detective
The "Five Wise Guardians" had an anti-artifact that could destroy the "Scarlet Star" and save Julie. But how are we supposed to find it? We don't know anything about that guardian group, do we? The room went dark, and the projector just projected something on the wall! Five figures are gathered around a sixth. This image was cut off in the middle. But there must be a camera or a projector here! Let's find it!
I'll bet you my cop badge that I'm not the only one. I've seen blueprints of this camera in a collector's room! Isabelle said that this film can record what you can't see. With this one you can see the Scarlet Star.
-
Ornaments of Death
Mistress
I don't know how the paranoid souls of these lowlifes are going to help the "shadows" defeat the "Five Wise Guardians," but I need to have my wench returned to the mansion immediately! The mosaic on the wall broke off and turned into skeletal beads. They became a necklace in mid-air. Look for it in the Chamber of Secrets!
What you may not know is that this death necklace is a symbol of the Indian goddess Kali. I don't know what this has to do with the characteristics of a killer, though.
-
Ominous rewards
Cardsharp
How are the murderers going to help the "shadows" and deal with the "Five Wise Guardians"? Anyway, I don't want to be there! Do you hear any strange noises coming from the vents? I'll ask my guide to check it out. I'm busy, I can't risk it! Hey, I found some coins! There's a sachet. Collect your rewards.
Are you saying that this wonderful new rupee coin is the proof of this room? Isn't it a reward for our work? A tragedy, indeed. Are you saying that the third killer was taking money?
-
be strangled to death.
Lady Peacock
I do not see how these murderers can harm the "Five Wise Guardians". I think it would be better to return them to the circle of samsara... Look, the shadow of the strangled woman is reflected on the wall! The moment the shadow disappeared, only the noose that was tightened became real. Find it. It was like a yellow handkerchief.
I recognize this white and yellow handkerchief. It's a stole, called a rumal in my homeland. In India, there were evil people who used these stoles to kill people. I have heard that they were like Raja demons!
-
Silent Wings
Huntress
The three paranoids help the Shadow fulfill the prophecy. But how are they supposed to triumph over the "Five Wise Guardians"? It's sheer madness. What role does Julie have in all this? Oh, shit, it was an owl coming out of the chimney! I almost shot him. I managed to hold off, though. Catch me in the Chamber of Secrets!
This owl is very aggressive! What is the Chamber of Secrets trying to tell us? Are you trying to tell us that the third killer is a nocturnal hunter? Or a wizard? I saw the ritual jewelry on the owl's foot.
-
Don't dig another hole
Valerie
I wonder how the "shadows" are going to use the souls of the murderers to defeat the "Five Wise Guardians", they are protecting us, right? I didn't know we had a guardian attached to us. Eh, hey! I was scrubbing coal from the fireplace and the poker suddenly turned into a mulberry. And the fireplace turned into a grave! I got scared and threw it out. It's in the Chamber of Secrets. Can you find it?
It's a nightmarish mulberry. It's so different from the ones I saw on the ranch when I was a kid. It's got a pattern on the blade... maybe the third killer dug his victims' graves with it?
-
Expensive liquid
Huntress
I don't know how "The Shadow" and his followers brought paranoid souls into town, but I can't let that happen! Whoa! A hunting crossbow from the weapons rack just fired at me. I dodged it just in time. There was some kind of flask attached to the arrow. Look for it.
I swear on my sword, it is blood in this magic flask! The second murderer is not just a paranoid nutcase, he tried to perform an alchemical ritual with the blood of his victims! Or something even more horrifying.
-
From children to adults
Detective
The "shadow" spoke in that letter about the paranoids needed to fulfill the prophecy. But who was the second "famous" murderer called out? A big puppet fell into the fireplace. When it burned up, all that was left were... bones. It was like a real creature. Find me those bones, buddy.
Whoa, these bones are definitely covered in black magic! All these little bones...they look like children's bones, don't they? What kind of paranoid lunatic could do such a horrible thing?
-
Wish the children good luck
Lady
I don't know much about the morals of the city. But why would the "Order of Shadows" want to bring a murderer here? The evidence that the Chamber of Secrets shows is also frightening... a child holding a creepy doll was reflected in the mirror! The child has disappeared. But the doll was left somewhere in the room... can you find it?
This antique doll looks as if it has been tortured, or maybe even executed...is this the second paranoid person who killed the children? Or is this a ritualistic murder?
-
Looking for a woman.
Cardsharp
Why do you think "The Shadow" brought paranoid souls to town? Perhaps those pretty ladies on those expensive carpets would know? No, this card cheater is out of his mind. The patterns on those carpets change. Now it is a picture of a dancing lady with a golden medallion. Trust my eyes! Collect the jewels.
It's a medieval French commemorative medal ornament. Your old friend, the card swindler, really knows how to appreciate expensive antiques! Each medallion is inscribed with a picture of a woman. Is this the victim or is this the killer?
-
Secrets Hidden Under the Keys
Conductor
I don't even want to think about why the "Order of Shadows" was bringing evil spirits into town! We have enough problems as it is. I was checking out the Chamber of Secrets and found a secret door in the wall. It definitely wasn't there before! Inside, there was a weird key stuck in the keyhole. Can you find it?
There's blood on this cursed key. And it won't come off! We're dealing with a very sinister killer, it seems. Did he keep his victims locked up somewhere?
-
The Devil's Dance
Martha
The Chamber of Secrets has given us enough evidence to ritually invoke the city's power. Now we can characterize who is responsible for the first kidnapping. Once we know who the culprit is, we will know more about the ritual regarding the purpose of The Shadow. Help me prepare. This clue has a tremendous aura of darkness about it.
Dark energy covers the evidence at the site of the first abduction. Blood, I can feel the fear in it. The smell of cheap perfume and booze... I see the murder weapon and the belongings of the unfortunate victim. And the devil's tarot cards have appeared on the table. The devil's face is Jack the Ripper!
-
Drink Heat
Detective
Nicholas is going to the Crucible voluntarily to take the place of the Load of Frost. The things we do for love, right, buddy? Alghough it's not magic, I'll give this guy a shoe cup to warm him with a hot drink. Now where did I put it? Will you help me find it?
Yes, that's exactly what we're looking for. I bought the cup for my first Christmas in the City. Oh, it brings back so many pleasant memories!
-
Light of Hope
Icy
Nicholas has decided to go on a suicide mission, and for what? Oh well, it doesn't matter. We have to do everything we can to prevent the powers of the Crucible settling into his heart. I will give him a Christmas arch so he remembers that he has friends. Will you help me find it?
The Christmas arch lamp is usually placed by the window during the winter solstice, when there isn't enough daylight. May hits lamp warm Nicholas during the polar nights.
-
Ice Wind Test
Detective
All this talk about the Crusible has made my hands go cold. I found information about the curls called the Snowstorm Whirl, but the wind snatched the page out of my hands. Help me find it, buddy.
It says here that the Snowstorm Whirl is a trap. Before the Crucible even existed, the Northern winds raged in its place, and passing through them was a test for the mages of the dawn of time...
-
Blizzard Dance
Juliette
The name of the next image in the tales is the Frosty Dream. It depicts what looks like blizzard spirits circling around the moon, trying to shroud its light. Does this symbol also hold the story of some exile? Let's find out, mon ami.
The Frosty Dream is a symbol of oblivion and nothingness... The blizzard spirits hide the roads, lead travelers astray, and call them to join the ice army that serves only the Crucible of Cold and the ice desert.
-
Polar Night
Lumica
You found the necessary information about the amulet! It says here that it captures the polar lgihts. It was created by an ice mage who was expelled into the ice desert. He called it the Night Aurora.
-
Tune of Cold
Adeline Svensson
To find out the Crucible of Cold's story, we're restoring the information recorded in the tales. I found the image of a lyre in the book, but I don't know if it's connected to the Crucible. Will you help me figure it out?
-
Gift of the Ancients
Nicholas
In the tales, I found a part devoted to the story of the Crucible's creation, but its text is partially missing. We have to restore it in order to understand how to resist the ancient magic that froze the christmas Book. Look, it depicts the Windstorm Wings artifact here. Let's find information about it - this will help us learn the story of this source of eternal frost.
Yes, you're right, this informatio is dedicated specifically to the Windstorm Wings. It says here that the ancient mages used it to raise a powerful wind, as if from the flapping wings of a giant bird.
-
Bold Decision
Vera
The flash bomb is almost ready. It already emits a powerful glow, which is about to burst out. It needs to be masked, put it in something so that I can get to Lucas unnoticed. Try to find a bag made of light-absorbing material!
The bag you gave me really masks the bomb's glow! With it, I'll go into the fog unnoticed, until the time comes to use the bomb against the Dark Hunter. I've decided to go after Lucas alone. I can no longer expose others to such a threat.
-
The Last Clue
Martha
Accoridng to Santa, the Christmas Book is enveloped in strong magic. Before, only the Snow Queen could control such power. I feel her magic around the Book. Let's find an explanation for this.
Did you find Lumica's ice brooch? Let me see... Hmm, it's been imbued with so much frost magic that it began to exude cold itself. But it's unlikely it could freeze such a powerful artifact as the Christmas Book.
-
Fatal Accident
Icy
What if no one is to blame? What if the Christmas Book just froze by accident? I noticed an elf's cap in the corner and thought that Santa's helpers might have inadvertently knocked over frost phials or cold elements. Let's check, maybe there are some traces on the cap?
It seems that the cap's owner dropped it, trying to leave unnoticed. Well, someone's getting into trouble for losing part of their uniform! But I don't feel traces of ice magic on it.
-
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Valerie
Look! A mystical whirlwind rises from behind the huge gate of the Witches' Abode. I can't see where it's coming from: the gates are covered with some kind of thickly intertwined plants. We must go inside quickly. Do you have a knife or scissors to cut through this overgrowth?
-
Clanging of Chains
Valerie
Oh, you won't believe what I just saw - huge traces of clawed paws in the snow and a broken chain next to them - it's Krampus! It was this Christmas hater, who likes scaring children, who froze the Christmas Book! Or maybe it's just someone's wicked joke? Check it out for yourself!
As I said - Krampus's chain, and it's lying here for a reason! What if Lumica is conspiring with this monster, and the Christmas ball is just a distraction?
-
Green Trail
Detective
I don't believe a single word Lumica says. How can you trust a person who shares the interests of a well-known Christmas theif, anyway? Take a look, his green shoe is being flaunted just in the middle of the hall! Come on, let's examine the clue. Maybe they're accomplices?
Yuck, the Christmas thief's green shoe smells like treacle and ginger! It seems this thief visited a candy factory, but that doesn't mean he has anything to do with freezing the Christmas Book.
-
Snow Painting
Lumica
Nicholas is right! Santa's accusations are just empty guesses. I will find out who froze the Christmas Book! It has an imprint of ancient magic and a snowflake painting - it's the handwrintg of Jack Frost. Help me find evidence of his involvement in the Book's freezing.
You found Jack's staff with which he draws snowflakes. Hmm, what made him leaves his powerful artifact here?
-
Special Fuse
Carlos Light
The flash bomb has to work on the first try, otherwise we'll have no chance of escaping the Dark Hunter. I'll equip the bomb with a special fuse so that we can detonate it from a distance. I'm sure you know where to get some crystal fiber for this.
You didn't waste any time and found a whole coil of crystal fiber! If we can't get close to the Dark Hunter, we'll throw our flash bomb at him adn detonate it from a distance. Oh, hold on, little Lucas, we'll find you very soon!
-
Winter Flower
Mistress
As a gift to Lumica, I prepared a Christmas cactus that blooms in December. Like the Lady of Frost, it's quite plain, but nonetheless very popular during the holidays - like Lumica. I'm not being too harsh, compare them yourself!
Did you find the cactus I prepared for Lumica? May it remind her that it's time to regrow her spines, otherwise what kind of Lady of Frost is she?
-
Bright Flash
Carlos Light
Oh, my poor boy Lucas, why is the Dark Hunter after this good child? I'll stuff the flash bomb with some magnesium chips - to enhance radiation. Such chips should be in old photo flashes. Will you help me find at least one?
Great find! There are still some magnesium chips left in this old flahs. I'll mix it with the one that I managed to find, we need everything we can get. When ignited, magnesium emits bright light, which the bomb's shell will multply tenfold.
-
Trust but Verify
Isabelle
As a gift to Lumica, I prepared a special artifact - the top of the patron of traveler's staff. I admit that the Snow Queen's essence may still prevail, so I've ensured that the artifact won't allow this to happen again. Come, I'll show you.
See, I inlaid some gemstones in the topping, addeda wave covered with runes, turning it from an ordinary ornament into a powerful artifact.
-
Guiding Star Charm
Nicholas
Do you know the story of Lucia? one Christams night, dark forces stole the moon and stars from the heavens, and Lucia stepped onto a cliff's ledge with a lantern to become a guiding light for those who were still at sea. I will gift her crown to Lumica. Will you take a look?
Lucia's crown is talisman that won't let my queen go astray no matter what path she's chosen. You know that I don't care where we go as long as I follow her.
-
A New Beginning
Icy
I believe that the Snow Queen's cruelty remains in the past. Lumica spent the whole year in this palace, trying to understand who she really was. From me she will receive a symbol of the awakening of like - the koliada wheel. There it is, see?
The kolida wheel is a symbol of the sun's birth and the emergence of a new life. I with Lumica to free herself from the icy bonds of her past so that she can start a new life.

Reliable Detonator
Carlos Light
I'm assembling the flash bomb from memory: I once saw a drawing of it, but it was a long time ago. I'll need a device that can create small electrical discharges. Maybe an electric purse lighter? Get it if you know where to find one!
You're back with the electric pulse lighter. Thank you for doing so much to save Lucas! I'll modify this lighter and install it into the flash bomb. It'll detonate and the burst of light should stop the Dark Hunter.

Burst of Light
Carlos Light
Mr. Black is right, going to save Lucas without a weapon is not the way. I've been thinking, the Dark Hunter is a clot of fog, and crystals work best against the fog. I'll try to create something like a flash bomb, will you help? To start, let's find a multifaceted orb!
You found a multifaceted orb ideal for the flash bomb. Such bombs don't explode but release a powerful flash. The special shape of this sphere will allow it to scatter light rays over a long distance. This is just what we need!

Holy Boundary
Yui
The heavens should like the alley decorated with paper lanterns in the form of temple roofs. In China, they erect paifang arches at the entrances to sacred places. Look for the arch's paper copy!

waiting for delivery
Detective
Why would the "Order of Shadows" order a dirty kidnapping of an upper class English gentleman? There's a picture of London in the snow globe on the fireplace. There's a blizzard bellowing inside! You've popped the snow globe and the blizzard is blowing into the room! It's taking up the curtains! What the hell is this? A package? Let's check this out!
The ominous parcel has blood stuck to it. It's addressed to the London police. Inside is...ew. I don't want to eat anything else today. Apparently, the guy we're looking into is a paranoid nutcase!

Hat Business
Inspector
This room seems to be alive! All of the marvels found seem to show us not only evidence of the first kidnapping, but also the motive of the "shadow". My shadow started dancing on the wall. And finally, he threw his hat. A real hat! Can you help me find that, please?
This isn't just any hat. I believe this is the possession of an English gentleman from the turn of the last century. So you are saying that the "Shadow" ordered a high society murderer to do his bidding?
-
butcher
Lady Peacock
You are performing evil rituals to frighten the people of the "Order of Shadows." But why? In the Chamber of Secrets, there was a portrait of a lovely woman with a changing face. Suddenly, a candle burst into flames and burned the picture! There was a hidden safe behind it, and I think I found a knife in it... will you help me find it?
This big butcher knife looks wicked. Is this rust or blood? It looks like there is something engraved on the blade... "1888"...could this be the year the murderer committed the murder?
-
Two faces
Mayor
They saw a rag doll with two faces blink! Could the Chamber of Secrets be trying to tell us something about the first victim? That creepy doll just fell apart in my hands. There was some sort of torn glove compartment inside. Perhaps it belonged to the abducted woman? Look for the glove compartment in the Chamber of Secrets.
This glove compartment is gorgeous. I'm sure it belonged to the missing woman. I hear she was on the cutting edge of fashion at the time. Is "Chamber of Secrets" trying to say that the killer was targeting brave women?
-
Ominous veil
Valerie
I was in the Chamber of Secrets looking for evidence of the first kidnapping. Then the strangest thing happened: I heard banging on the wall. It was as if someone was being held captive there! What if that was the first victim of the ritual? The wallpaper was peeling! There was a hole in the wall. There was a shawl with a weird stain on it. It was disgusting! You have to find that shawl. I don't want to touch it!
A woman's shawl with paint stains. Is it a woman's or an artist's? I'm starting to think it's not paint... but what does this tell us about the purpose of shadows?
-
making the impossible possible
Isabelle
I didn't like what "Chamber of Secrets" showed as evidence left behind by Juliette's abductor. The vase on the table fell off. Red stuff poured out of it. It formed a geometric pattern that drew a doorway to the hiding place. It looked like some kind of triangle that couldn't possibly exist in real life. Can you find it?
An impossible triangle is a shape that denies the laws and theories of this world. It resembles a puzzle used as a portal, a portal to another world! I sense residual energy from the teleportation.
-
A Drop of Freedom
Conductor
Will these poltergeists lead us to Julie's abductor? The cork popped off a bottle on the bar. Smoke and bubbles came out of it. It was like it was alive...and one of the bottles started rolling and went away. Isabelle said there was this chaos signature on the bottle. I don't want to drink out of a bottle like that... can you find me that bottle?
Isabelle told me very tightly not to drink anything from this guy...it seems to be an extract of chaos. She said that even one drop of it will start to negate all laws and values. So, Julie's kidnapper is a traitor?
-
Follow his eyes.
Huntress
The Chamber of Secrets is putting up funny signs to lead us to Juliette's abductor! I saw the eye of one of the items move! It was oddly shaped, kind of like a directional magnetic needle. If you will examine that eye, I will keep an eye on that creepy thing to make sure nothing crazy happens.
A directional magnetic needle with a live human eyeball on it? I'm no coward, but this guy gives me the creeps! The eyes point in the direction the needle is pointing, right? And it's pointing to a place hidden by the fog in the city!
-
Even if you lose everything.
Valerie
Are you sure that "Chamber of Secrets" will tell us who kidnapped Juliette? I'm scared of this room! A cup just appeared on the table. It had some kind of weird black stuff in it! I dropped that cup. I saw a gold-rimmed obsidian capsule pendant in the murky liquid. Can you help me find it?
Martha says this obsidian pendant contains a fast-acting magic poison. Do you think the kidnappers were wearing these to take their own lives in the worst case scenario? Yeah, it's crazy!
-
Hidden Faces
Detective
No one knows how to handle the Chamber of Secrets. I hope that room knows what we're hoping to find. Ugh! The stuffed crow suddenly came to life and came at my head! I threw a book at it, but it dodged. But he dropped something. Some kind of hood. You'll have to look for it here in the Chamber of Secrets.
This creepy cape was worn by Juliette's abductor. Hmmm, what can we draw from this? I'll wager it's something from a secret organization.
-
The sky is burning.
Juliette
Dear friends, the prophecy about the awakening of the artifact in the case is ominous! It will awaken when the heavens explode in flames"... I don't remember any meteor shower happening on New Year's Eve. Maybe the artifact is still "sleeping" on the plane? Let's find the key to unlock the mystery of "burning the heavens."
Who would have thought that "burning the heavens" could refer to holiday fireworks? Sure, on New Year's Eve, the city skies were filled with a firework storm.
-
Winter plant specimens
Valerie
Think the "sleeping" artifact in the case is from the holidays? Don't you think the Road to Dreams is about Christmas? The fourth riddle mentions winter. Icy said. She said that when there is a sudden frost in the middle of a thaw, the plants freeze! Let's see if that's what happened on New Year's Eve!
Ice covered plants, how beautiful! I remember it was a warm New Year's Eve, then there was a frost. Oh! Isn't this what the prophecy said? I wonder if the artifact really woke up?
-
Keep everything in order
Detective
Princess Yuy will need something to store her brushes away. She needs to make sure she doesn't lose it before she starts her calligraphy. If one goes missing, so goes the other. That's what a senior detective once said. Find a brush hanger.
My boss always said. Keep your desk clear and your thoughts organized. I hope the "brush hangers" help Yui.
-
humming with activity
Martha
Perhaps the case was going to "wake up" some kind of celestial artifact? Wouldn't that have opened the way to his dream in the stars? The prophecy mentions a celestial visitor, doesn't it? Could it be about some souls, perhaps...the planets? Could you look for something like that in your case studies?
From what was found on the plane, Case was expecting a parade of planets in the city! I forgot this was going to happen on New Year's Eve. Totally embarrassing.
-
black night
Martha
Hecate likes witches like me. But what does that have to do with the awakening of the artifact in the case? But...the inventor probably solved the mystery, you know. Otherwise, how else could he explain his smugness? Keep looking on the plane for anything with the Hecate symbol on it.
Hecate's coat of arms is the symbol for the new moon! Of course, this passage is referring to the moon on New Year's Eve. The second verse of the prophecy is also clear.
-
The Great Cycle
Mayor
Do you think the case brought to town a dangerous artifact? The first clue in the prophecy was that the artifact would awaken on the night that time dies and creates one half of its twin. I hope it was just a metaphor. When do you think it was the night that there was a flight?
When the werewolf moved the plane, he broke the calendar on the case. This is going to stay on this date forever...January 1! All right, the day of the prophecy is New Year's Eve! The old year will die and a new year will be born. First of all, I know the first one!

Sisters' concerns
Mei
I can't believe that she is suffering from nightmares now that we are sisters again! Take her some of my calligraphy brushes. I'm sure Yui will find it useful to calm her mind with calligraphy. But where has it gone?
Well, here's my "brush. Juliette wanted to borrow it. She said it would be perfect for applying face powder. But I think it is my sister who needs it now.
-
Expensive stone
Inspector
I hear you're helping Princess Yuy fight her fears. Isn't that admirable? If you want to learn to write, you'll need a tinhori. Find one for the princess.
Princess Yui will be pleased. This "suzuri" is truly an art form. I almost mistook it for an ashtray, though.
-
the smell of ink
Yui
I was a troubled kid as a child. To help me get rid of my insecurities, they taught me to learn calligraphy. I guess they thought a little calligraphy might help restore the harmony that had been disturbed. My teacher used to say. The calligraphy begins with the ink. Find the ink.
You brought me some "solid ink." The smell of this solid ink reminds me of my childhood. I feel a little calmer. I've only just started, though.
-
I'll take it all.
Valerie
Have you seen the number of cases they've packed? And many artifacts of great value. They packed it all into that little plane and brought it with them. Find me a model that shows me how they were able to pack so much in. If I were a genius, I would start by looking for a transport plane.
Howard Case built a jumbo transport. But instead of using it, he decided to increase the payload capacity of the little super-aircraft.
-
Invisible Aircraft
Isabelle
Case's experimental plane also needed to be able to keep secrets from being tracked down. He didn't want to share his knowledge of how to reach the city with anyone. There must be a transparent aircraft, or a reconnaissance plane, in Case's luggage. Could you find it for me?
From the model, this aircraft was able to hide in the clouds. What's more, it didn't show up on the intelligence community's radar. So the intelligence community lost the case of the genius inventor.
-
improvement
Detective
For Case to escape the agents and reach the city of shadows, he would have had to build something out of the ordinary, something amazing. An enclosed cabin? Automated driving? Without that kind of improvement, you can't push the limits of humanity, man. Can you find me some kind of improved model?
Based on this model, wasn't the largest and fastest airliner that Case was going to build in the first place? But in the end, he poured all that experience into assembling an aircraft that would take him to the shadow city.
-
Lost Drugs
Valerie
Hey, listen to what happened! I tried to eat a sea berry and it was so hard. I almost chipped my teeth. They weren't wild strawberries. It was a gemstone that looked like a wild strawberry. Can you believe it? Go get some sea berries and try them.
Hey, you weren't lying when you said that Seaberry is a gemstone. Who would waste time and energy digging up carnelian into a fruit like this? Too bad you can't find real, fresh sea berries. They are good for burns and rich in vitamins.
-
To be on high
Huntress
You're going to have to find out what was so special about Case's secret plane. He saw a vision of the city above the clouds. And he was going to find it again. In other words, Case needed a plane that could maintain a high altitude and still protect the pilot from G-loads. Could he find a model of a high-altitude aircraft?
From the model of this transcontinental aircraft, it looks like Case was going to fly pretty high. That means his new plane would have needed a super-powerful engine.
-
Fast as a bullet.
Alex
I'm sure speed was important to Case's experimental plane. Think about it. He had to outrun his pursuers...Case needed the fastest plane in the world. Did you see any models of super-fast airplanes in his luggage?
When it comes to these fast planes, even the miniature models are like bullets. If my car was as fast as a bullet, maybe our fates would be different...
-
Memories
Inspector
We have already learned that the FBI, British, Soviet, and Chinese intelligence agencies are involved in the Case case. What could they have learned about Case's shadow city research? I saw a slide projector around here with a commemorative photo of Karen Halberg. Could you help me find it?
Apparently, the relationship between the pliant Karen and Case was not genuine either. Because this slide projector has a Danish intelligence camera on it, you see.
-
Pearls of Poison
Detective
Odd that no actress felt sorry for Howard. Hey, buddy. Do you think Faye Dommer was spying on anyone too? She must have been very young when she was having her affair with Case. I saw a strange pearl pendant in the pilot's belongings. Let's go look for it, shall we?
At first glance, I knew I recognized these strange pearls. They are made in China. Whoever is drenched with it falls asleep. While Case slept, Faye went through his things.
-
Excellent foul
Inspector
These Hollywood beauties must have received tremendous quid pro quo from their respective agencies for spying. Where were they chasing the secrets of the case? I saw a flower brooch for a woman here. They looked very expensive, though. But there was something suspicious about it. It's an investigation. Can you help me find it?
I had no idea that a British microphone was planted in these expensive flowers. How had I not noticed? Jane Purcell wore this brooch on her chest to spy on the case.
-
Assassin's makeup
Detective
The actress who spied on the case must have been cunning. Do you know how much can be done with a mere makeup kit? I saw that vixen, Jane Harlem, with her dubious box of face powder. She's a seductive young blonde actress. Find that guy.
They change gradations when exposed to air. Jane used this to transcribe the letter on the case. There's an engraving right there. It's a sickle and hammer symbol. Jane was spying for the Soviet Union!
-
Heel sound
Inspector
Do you really believe that the glittering actresses that Case dated had spies in their midst? They had no respect for Case's talent. He had accomplished so much! To their surprise, they found one of Lady's high heels by Case's plane. I'm beginning to understand what's going on. Can you help me find the other shoe?
There is a slot in the heel of this high heel. There's a cryptograph in it! These are Eve Garden's high heels. She's one of the beauties in the case... she was both beautiful and cunning.
-
Footprints of a secret agent
Detective
What we found indicates that the case was successfully collecting evidence of the shadow city. Did the guy even come to my office by any chance? I once found one of the collector's puzzles when I was investigating some missing persons. Look for it in Case's luggage!
The case went to my office in New York! He got the collector's artifact and also learned that I had mysteriously disappeared while investigating a mysterious case!
