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!
-
A place far from us.
Inspector
Case believed in the existence of the shadow city. And he never gave up on collecting evidence of it. Miraculous evidence. If he could infiltrate a secret organization, perhaps there was no doubt that he had access to secret records. Find the police's mysterious criminal records.
Hmmm. Case found a tape recording of a conversation between my friend Angela Crowley and mobster Joe Volani. They were talking about the Mafia's hidden vault in "a city hidden from our eyes".
-
Aura Pictures
Martha
It's not just the missing places that Howard Case has found, but perhaps the humans as well. We, too, have left our families and possessions behind in the human world. When I was younger, I once gave my children a picture of me. I gave them a picture of me when I was younger, one with a healing spell on it. I didn't think much of it. Let's see if Case found it.
My aura is a joke, and I'm not even kidding! Look at the picture. The background of the human world has changed to that of the city of shadows! More evidence for the case.
-
one-way ticket
Conductor
What is the reason why Case believed in another world and pursued the existence of a city of shadows? Isn't it, by any chance, the story of that missing train, the Sanetti? Remember, that train came from the human world to the city station? Let's find out what Case has found out about this story, shall we?
That's an old conductor's badge with the Sanetti logo on it! Totally Case is a master at sniffing out these stories. I've learned that when the train disappeared from the human world, it was in a fog.
-
documentary film
Lady Peacock
What made the case pursue the existence of a shadow city? That's right! When I arrived in Nice to wait for the Colonel at his hotel, a film shoot was taking place there. A few days later I came to the city with the hotel. Perhaps Case got hold of that film? Please look for the movie film!
The movie shows a hotel on the beach. And here's a picture of an empty beach taken by Case a century later. He must have thought it was not the sea that took the hotel.
-
Signal from Space
Valerie
I heard Case was obsessed with evolution. Surely he could have found that famous secret society MJ-13. They were looking for weird knowledge too. Not in dusty books, but in space. Did you see any cosmic symbols?
I knew that the MJ-13 crazies existed apart from the UFO article! I knew they had found something "from another world," Case.
-
The Secret of the Profound
Huntress
Case, you're also getting your knowledge of artifacts from a secret society called the "Stormy Cooperative". It was my countrymen who led that mystical study. It was done thoroughly, with a truly Germanic meticulousness. I wonder if you can find their symbols near the plane?
You're on the right track with this investigation. Case was interested in the Storm Coalition. In their search for Atlantis. From the relevant documents, it seems they regarded this urban island as a treasure trove of miracles. Kind of like this city, don't you think?
-
the powers that be
Inspector
Howard Case was searching for the mystical knowledge that secret societies possess. To gain the power to become a superhuman. My gut tells me that he is also visiting the Mesers. Because they have the power of truth in their hands. Why don't you look for the symbol of the Mesers near the plane?
I was following the thoughts of the case. I knew you would find the symbol of the Mesers! This secret society believed in the existence of mystical forces.
-
Modern Knights Templar
Martha
Was the case interested in mystical knowledge? If so, we should probably look for symbols of mystical secret organizations. The Knights Templar of Gold come to mind; they consolidated the best occult beliefs in the world at the beginning of the 20th century. Could you look for their symbol on the plane?
From this symbol, it seems the case was able to infiltrate the Golden Templars. He gained some mystical knowledge there. Looks like the investigation is headed in the right direction.
-
the philosophy of the European Enlightenment
Detective
I have heard about the Enrights Society. Maybe Case turned to them in his quest for otherworldly knowledge. In their "Enlightenment," or Enlightenment philosophy, science was considered a great art. It is the kind of science that contributes to advancing the world, as Case was doing. By any chance, did you see anything in Case's possession with the Enright symbol on it?
We were right, man. The case was visiting the Enrights! Is that their symbol on the folder full of papers? Let me see... they revolutionized science with their "mystical items".
-
The heart under the armor
Huntress
I'm not a knight, of course. But I do know something about historical armor. If we are talking about real knights and not carnival clowns, look for the breastplate. A knight will go into battle with just his pants on, but he must protect his heart at all times.
With such a fine knight's breastplate, I'm not afraid to face a spear. I can even stand up to a crossbow. Look at all these layers of steel! Wow, there's some letter here...
-
Fame and Honor
Martha
Are all these knightly items from intelligence records? Don't make me lecture you on heraldry now. To a knight, you see, a family banner is more important than land or heritage. A coat of arms tells more than all of the family chronicles.
Yes, this is the banner of a real knight. This crest definitely belongs to one of the legendary Knights of the Round Table. We're getting closer to our goal. But we need more items from King Arthur's Globe.
-
Great horse.
Valerie
Wow, what an unusual record! The agent writes that he saw Colonel Gallahard washing his horse's armor. He was preparing for a fight with a dragon! Did they really meet the dragon? Okay, okay. I'll help you find the horse armor.
Look, this armor is polished and shiny. The Colonel was going to have a real fight with the dragon. Even if it didn't exist!
-
originally two horses head-to-head or ten at a time, esp. May 5th event at Kamigamo shrine
Detective
Was the mysterious apparition the Colonel saw really caused by King Arthur's Globe? In the next transcript, the agent writes that he saw the plankmaster of the Lancelot polishing a gold spur. Gold, he said! How insane. Oh, yes. I was into horseback riding when I was younger. It's definitely worth it to find that guy.
What a sharp spur! If I wore one of those in New York, I'd get a complaint from the Humane Society in a heartbeat. Well, let's keep exploring. A spur is not enough for Martha's ritual.
-
banquet on the occasion of a knight's death
Conductor
The record of one of the agents who was on the voyage with the colonel describes the strange behavior of the crew. He said the first mate tried to use a knight's cup. If you're looking for something knightly, this is the cup!
What a cup! I wish I could sip from such a nice cup. What do you think, did King Arthur serve good drinks to his knights with his own money?
-
Prayers in the Smoke
Martha
The elements of nature are unpredictable. An alley decorated with the paper roofs of temples symbolizes the citizens' hope for protection under the cover ot the heavens. Find a lantern in the form of an incense tower, where the haze of smoking sticks takes away prayers for the deities.
-
The Lovely Girl
Juliette
Mon ami, are you helping lovely Kira Woodville get her things back? I'd like to help too. I saw a wonderful perfume bottle nearby, and I know for sure we don't have such bottles in the Lower City. Let's show it to Kira!
There's not only perfume in the bottle, but also a stiletto knife under the lid! A bit strange, but you have to admit: the smell is just wonderful. Kira is very nice, I hope we will be friends.
-
The Resourceful Girl
Kira Woodville
Thank you for helping return the items I lost. When I lost my parents as a child, I had to roam alone and people often tried to rob me. Fortunately, I had the luck coin my father gave me. Will you look for it?
This seemingly ordinary coin turns into a razor. It is a pity my father didn't tell me why he ordered it. I hope I'll discover the truth one day.
-
The Practical Girl
Huntress
I want to help Kira Woodville return what she's lost. Wnat to know what I like about her? She's a good fighter, and her adornments serve a practical purpose. I respect that. Let's help her by returning the necklace she told us about.
The blade of the Dagger Necklace is so well-balanced! I definitely want to know where Kira Woodville got it, I wouldn7t mind having something like this.
-
The Savior Girl
Rayden Stroke
I want to return Kira's lost things. When I first saw her, I didn't believe this lovely girl was a bodyguard. But then I realized how good she was at her job. Let's find her earrings. She values them very much.
One night, a dangerous fellow attacked us. Kira knocked the weapon out of his hands, took off her earrings and put them to his throat. You should have seen his face!
-
The Prudent Girl
Kira Woodville
When preparing for the trip with Rayden, I didn't know what was waiting for us. The inhabitants of the Lower City could've been villains! So I brought my special brooch with me. I've learned to protect myself since childhood, but girls were not allowed to carry weapons, so I disguised them as adornments. Find my brooch and I'll show you.
The precious brooch is decorated with tiny shapphires and its blades are sharp. I don't want to brag, but I'm quite an accurate thrower.
-
Secret Button
Vera
There's a tracker on Lucas's backpack, but its signal is gone. The tracker must've turned off due to his long stay in the fog. I'll try to activate it remotely. There's a special button inside my pencil. But where is it...? Help me find it!
Thanks for your help! I thought we wouldn't find my light bulb pencil. It's very convenient for making notes in the fog, as the light bulb illuminates the notebook. If you unscrew the light bulb, you'll find a button that activates Lucas's tracker. Shall we?
-
Beautiful Doll
Huntress
Your doll collection for Isabelle wouldn't be complete without the Elian doll. Her hat by the way, is a tru work of art. It's made from g reen muslin and is trimmed with gold thread. Come with me, I know where to find it.
I have to say that the Elian doll is a perfect addition to your collection.
-
Doll With Blue Hair
Martha
I've heard that you are collecting dolls for Isabelle. What a good idea. I saw the Chantal doll near here. She's hard to miss - blue hair and gorgeous dress. Come on, I'll show you.
You did great with the search for the Chantal doll. She's beautiful, isn't she?
-
Hazard Identifier
Vera
The scavengers' devices will help me find Lucas in this foggy streets maze. When I determine my brother's location, I'm going after him at once. I'll definitely need a device that scavengers call "the fog's cradle." Help me find it.
Great, we have the fog's cradle! The principle is quite simple. The oscillation of the balls accelerates in particularly dangerous areas of the fog, warning you that you'd better not go there. I'll take the device with me when I determine where Lucas is, then I'll go after him.
-
Breadcrumbs
Vera
I'm sure Lucas will also be looking for me. I want to leave a trail of "breadcrumbs" for him - it's what we call the signs left for our people in the fog. For this, we'll need a special stamp! Let's look for it.
Thank you for finding this fluorescent stamp for me. It makes a sign in the form of an eight-pointed star - it's a symbol of our scavenger group. Lucas is a smart boy and will definitely notice these "breadcrumbs" left for him.
-
Motion in the Fog
Vera
I feel how scared Lucs is, alone in the fog where the Dark Hunter roams. With the help of the scavengers' devices, we'll determine where my brother is. I heard that someone brought a scavenger's navigator at auction in the Foggy Backstreet. Help me get this device!
Thank you for persuading the owner to lend us the scavenger's navigator! This device picks up any motino in the fog from a distance. If you take the readings correctly, you can understand the motion of whatever subject the navigator senses, be it a rat, bird, or human.
-
A Day of Love
Juliette
I wonder what the last island in the Caribbean brought to Col. Gallahard writes: "He said that a monster appeared in the trees and called the last flower a ghost orchid. He says a monster appeared in the trees and called the last flower a ghost orchid. How ominous.
Is this the ghost orchid? Ominous but beautiful! This was once seen in the Bahamas. It was once seen in the Bahamas, but died out a long time ago. Gallahard writes that this rare flower withers in a day, but his love for Miss Peacock is eternal.
-
Kiss from afar
Juliette
Colonel Gallahard's diary is getting more and more desperate by the minute. The only thing keeping him sane is his love for the princess. He writes: "I have found a tender kiss for her. I have found a kiss full of tenderness for her. I will take it to the hotel." That's what he means! Is this a clue to the next flower?
Oh, of course! Psychotria, the kiss of flowers. Now and then, these flowers can only be found on the slopes of the Costa Rican mountains. How romantic! But the research expedition did not find the boat tracks they were looking for on the new island. All they found were strange flowers.

Gourmet Desserts
Valerie
Think about it! The Colonel writes that he found a chocolate cosmos for Miss Peacock. This is a flower that should be extinct. It smells of chocolate and vanilla! Oh, I kind of want to smell it...maybe even lick it.
Chocolate cosmos! It's true that they smell sweeter than any dessert. I've read that the last time this was found was somewhere on an island near Cuba. In the Colonel's travel diary, it says that instead of finding a Templar ship, they found a new island. It says all they had there was flowers and tropical heat.

Mystery Whispering
Martha
The Colonel's travel diary says that he picked some "whispering flowers" for Miss Peacock on his journey. No flower in its right mind would whisper. The Colonel is writing about Arisaema. I'll have to take a look.
This arisaema is a luscious flower. But I don't sense any evil in it. Gallahard writes that he picked this flower on an island off the coast of Florida and got nothing else. But it was the luring sounds and whispers from the depths of darkness heard there that drove his companion mad.

heartbreak
Juliette
So romantic men did not die out! According to the Colonel, the first exotic flower he collected for Miss Peacock was the Titulis. Beautiful and hopeless, just like his feelings. Do you know what a titulis looks like?
How sad that the Titulis is a symbol of heartbreak... The Colonel's travel diary states that such a flower is not to be found even in the British Museum. Gallahard found it on the coast of North America. A research expedition had arrived there after searching aimlessly for the wreck.

The Royal Ploy
Detective
This letter doesn't seem complete to me. There are too many allusions that hint at something. What "serious arguments" is the intelligence chief going to make to get the King of India to approve this disproportionate marriage? There is a white royal elephant at the end of this letter. Is this by any chance a signal of some sort?
It's a white elephant figurine made of bone! You say this was in the file along with intelligence agency records? Hmmm, what's in the file...
-
Key Policy Tra
Detective
Is chilly diplomacy next? The intelligence chief is exchanging pleasantries with the king of India. It's all social pleasantries, man, and you're sending him an expensive dagger as a gift. Have you ever seen anything like this?
A dagger with tiger tusks is a gift fit for a king, man. The letter from the director of intelligence is even more interesting. He is asking the King of India to allow the marriage of the princess and Colonel Gallahard. He asks for a private meeting with the King of India for "more serious discussions.

At least if these were real wild strawberries!
Cardsharp
Dear all! You are wrong to doubt me! The fact that wild strawberries have turned into jewels has nothing to do with me. It's a fascinating story, though... even I tried to eat a white currant. I tried to eat them, but I couldn't. Just go get a gooseberry and try it.
See how, not even one of the white currants is a real wild strawberry! They are hard red quartz! But then again, these wild strawberries are of excellent craftsmanship. They look like the real thing. I'd give all these gems for one wild strawberry, to be honest!
-
A Desperate Step
Detective
Looks like the Secret Intelligence Service has started looking for a cure again. If we are to believe this letter, it seems that Colonel Gallahard had some special favor to ask of the Director of Intelligence. And as a gift, he sent an expensive jade jug from the West Indies. If we find this jug, maybe we can find out what that request was.
Hmmm...from Gallahard's letter, this poor man was so desperate that he asked the British intelligence agency for help. He asked them to arrange for the King of India to marry Miss Peacock. In exchange, he made a promise to the agency directly under his command.
-
Golden Cage
Juliette
See the rest of the letter! The King of India is thanking Colonel Gallahard for his courtesy. And it looks like he gave him some kind of jeweled bird, a "true" symbol of the King's power. So that represents the King of India's response. But I'm not sure what it is. Did you see a bird made of gold?
How sad! There's a priceless bird representing Miss Peacock in a golden cage. The king of India turned down the colonel. He said he was not worthy of a royal princess. Oh my God, I wish those lovers all the happiness in the world...
-
royal bird
Detective
We need to find the pier. We need to find the letter that the king of India had corresponded with the colonel and the intelligence agencies. Oh, by the way, there was a hawk near the ship. There was a case of letters tied to its leg. I didn't know hawks could replace pigeons! Can you catch it?
In a letter to the King of India, you wrote that Gallahard brought back this falconry hawk from a military mission. This falcon is a symbol of royal power and then...then he asks you to marry his daughter! Oh my god!

Adventures in the search for the Holy Grail
Isabelle
There is no legend like the Holy Grail. The agents must have searched for it for the queen. Drinking water from the chalice cures diseases and makes one immortal. But even if it exists, it can only be found by the right person. So, shall we go find the chalice?
Of course, they wouldn't have found the chalice. What they found was a duplicate of the cup, a false legend. Apparently, the intelligence community was in desperate straits. The queen was on her deathbed.

Five Stones of Immortality
Martha
Have you read about the great Persian physician, Ahaz ba Banung? Allegedly, he found a way to cure all ailments by using five magic stones together. The agent's records say that he was also on a search for that cure for the queen. Find out if he found it.
I see only three of these stones are genuine Ahasu ba Banungu stones. Look, the queen's agent writes that the other two were just colored stones. So they couldn't save the queen.
-
Bloody Legend
Huntress
On the ship, I saw an imaginary drawing of an ancient unicorn. No doubt the agent was testing a well-known legend. The healing power of unicorn blood. I don't like the idea of hunting magical animals. But I would like to try unicorn blood.
Just as I thought, the agent couldn't find the unicorn blood. Based on incorrect information, they got a cup made of "unicorn horn." But it belonged to a rhino. This is my area of expertise, believe me. I have records that tell me the agent's mission failed.

Route Through the Fog
Vera
Have I told you that scavengers use special devices to search for members of their group lost in the fog? With their help, we'll determine where Lucas is now. Running away from the Dark Hunter, I dropped my corner counter. Help me find it!
You found my corner counter! This device captures all the turns and doesn't let you miss the one you need. In the fog, where there's zero visibility, this is useful gizmo. I have my route data saved in the counter... Ah, I almost picked up his trail. It will definitely come in handy!
-
Absolute Darkness
Vera
What other evidence of the Dark Hunter's existance does your Black need? When the spawn of the Cult separated me from Lucas, I searched for my brother in the fog for a long time, but I only found this... Damm, where is it? Please help me find Lucas's belt lamp!
Praise the Defenders, you found my brother's belt lamp! It's broken and has the fog swirling under its glass. It's much darker than what you're used to seeing. Scavengers call it "the Dark Hunter's shade."
-
Devastating Grip
Vera
Thanks for bringing my brother's ring! See this crack? Right before my eyes, the Dark Hunter wrapped himself around Lucas's hand, trying to grab him. Luckily, my brother managed to free himself and hide in the foggy maze. I only managed to pick up this ring, but it's chipped by fire.

Tribute to Traditions
Lady
Preparing a gift for Lumica is a very delicate matter, as this is her first Christmas amongst friends. Therefore, I made a traditional Christmas wreath of spruce branches and decorated it with candles. Want to take a look?
There was a time when a Christmas wreath was used instead of a calendar to count down the days before the holiday. With this gift, I want to give Lumica happiness with the anticipation of a miracle.
-
Anomalistic Ability
Vera
Father warned me - if Black found out that I was a scavenger, he'd consider him a traitor. That's why he acted in secret - so that Black wouldn't stop us from trying to save Lucas from the Dark Hunter. Even stones melt from his touch. Help me find one!
Thanks for finding this molten stone. Trust me, as a scientist, few anomalies can melt such hard rock in an instant! Oh, I hope the Dark Hunter doesn't find Lucas while I waste time justifying myself to Black.
-
Burning Through Barriers
Vera
I'm scientist, and the scavengers' lifestyle attracted me because I can explore the anomalistic terrain. But since you need proof of the Dark Hunter's existence, let's find my burned book, it shold be here somewhere.
Thisis my book! You'd make an excellent scavenger! The ability to find the right things is highly appreciated in our circles. When the Dark Hunter rushed at me, I threw this book at him, and this is what happened to it. The Dark Hunter burns through everyting in his path.
-
Piercing Cold
Vera
Believe me, I wasn't going to steal the crystals. I needed my father's help to save Lucas from the Dark Hunter. I'll provide evidence of the monster's existence. I found frozen woold not far from here. Find it and I'll explain everything!
Where the Dark Hunter files, all that's left of trees are these frozen stumps. I'm sure you haven't seen this before. The scavengers said that the Dark Hunter emanates a cold that freezes anything from the inside in an instant.

Lost Trail
Mr. Black
I went back through Carlos's memories in the Shadow Lamp he left with the Pawnbroker for safekeeping. I saw a place where another cache in the Foggy Backstreet is located, protected by a combination lock. I'm sure it contains more valuable information. Help me find it and open it!
You not only found the combination lock cache but also figured out the password for it. Hmm, I think I know what these numbers mean... It's the birth date of Carlos's son! Let's see what's in the message: "I'm sorry, but I've lost Lucas's trace, I hope he was able to escape from the Dark Hunter."
-
Cache Entrance
Cardsharp
I'm positive that the entrance to the Diggers' Cache is under that statue. But how do we get in... Think, Cardsharp, think! Don't give up! Of course... The statue in the picture is holding a pick. Eureka! The Conductor had one just like that. Once I almost won it at cards but it's not so easy to one-up this drunkard. Maybe we could stealthily take the Pick from him?
Your nimble fingers are amazing! I've tried to borrow from the Conductor many times before but to no avail. Again, I'm so thankful that I brought you with me. Now let's just add to the composition... Place the Pick into the statue's hands - as if it's always been here! Look, the slabs near the statue are moving! They're forming a stairwell down!

Poor Lucas
Rayden Stroke
I don't understand how Carlos is connected with the events described in the messages. We need to find all the caches with these notes. The Shadow Lamp showed Carlos's memory: how he was taking a letter from a cache in a streetlamp. Help me find the right one!
Thank you for helping me find this streetlamp cache! There's a note inside: "Lucas is in danger, the Dark Hunter has divided us and is following him. I need help! Comet." Hmm, if I understand correctly, Carlos's son, Lucas, is in danger!
-
Hunter in the Fog
Mr. Black
It's good that Rayden figured out how the Shadow Lamp works. Now we know that in the Foggy Backstreet, there are caches with suspicious messages to Carlos. Let's find a mascaron in the shape of a lion's head! I clearly saw in the projection that it had a scroll in its teeth.
You're quite observant, having immediately noticed the mascaron in the shape of a lion's head on the wall! There was a scroll in its mouth. Here, maybe you can figure out the meaning of this: "In the fog, our group began to be eliminated by the Dark Hunter sent by the Shadow Cult..."
-
bitter (harsh) medicine
Martha
I see in the records of the British agents there is a description of the primrose flower. They say they can make a potion from the flowers that will cure all ailments. All you need is to infuse it with the right magic. Find the infusion and find out if it saved Queen Victoria.
This bottle definitely contains a primrose decoction. But there's a note on the bottle. "The legend could not be verified." It seems the decoction did not cure the queen.
-
Miracle Cures
Detective
What item of ancient lore was the British agent looking for? And what does that have to do with the Colonel's mission? The intelligence chief's letter said it was an Asklepios directive. Asklepios is the ancient Greek god of medicine. Perhaps there is something on the pier that has to do with this god?
The staff of Asclepius? That's exactly what I'm looking for! But look, there's a note attached to it. 'Experiments failed to recognize the healing properties of the wand. The legend could not be confirmed. The mission failed." Yeah, the wand didn't heal Queen Victoria.
-
flood
Huntress
I saw a diving helmet while searching for the Colonel's final passage. No doubt it was used by sailors to protect themselves when diving into deep water. With that helmet, I think I finally know the purpose of this research expedition. Can you help us find it?
Just as I thought. Colonel Gallahard must have brought his old diving helmet with him on this research expedition. But for what? Was he going to look for something at the bottom of the deep ocean?
-
unusual preparation
Valerie
I was just taking a stroll through the ship myself. Hey, there's a deep-sea mine on this ship, the kind you'd find in a military history museum! I didn't know they used them in the 19th century. Don't look at me like that, I didn't touch it. You don't believe me? See for yourself.
I hope this deep sea mine is no longer operational! Why would they need to sail this thing on a regular British frigate? Was he going to fight someone? Apparently the Colonel's mission was more military than diplomatic!
-
Experiment in a Bowl
Isabelle
Are you saying that wild strawberries turning into jewelry is the work of credit card scammers? Sure is a quick and easy way to get rich. I saw a card cheater with a bowl full of gooseberries. Bring it to me. I'll find out what kind of magic is being used.
Yes, this is it. I saw the same Western currant in the card scammer's possession! These wild strawberries look fake, too. These are perigot. How is it possible for a card cheater to turn fruit into jewelry and then rob a citizen of his wild strawberries?
-
Use the latest technology
Detective
That strange drill-like object would make the frigate's mission obvious! I've never seen this kind of equipment on a ship before. Buddy, bring that thing over and I'll take a closer look.
This thing is a drill, sure. But what did he use this thing for? At the bottom of the ocean? I mean, was that the expedition mission?
-
Accuracy is the key to success.
Conductor
You want to know where the Colonel is headed? It's easy, find a navigational instrument. You may not recognize it from the name, it looks like a compass, but this thing is ten times more complicated than that.
Isn't that great? I've got a device that points the course of this ship. Hmmm...apparently the Colonel was heading west across the Atlantic. Wanted to relax and soak up the sun?
-
The right course
Conductor
I heard you are going to find out where this frigate came from. As your guide, I have some advice. Wow! This ship is full of the latest 19th century equipment. Look for the sextant on board. That will give you a clue as to the route.
This sextant makes me want to quit training and become a sailor! This thing is shaped like a compass, but it takes into account the deviation of the magnetic axis. Yeah, but there's nothing left on this one that tells us anything about the final course of the ship.
