Bad Gifts
Isabelle
Perhaps they have come after the bracelet you found. This ancient and valuable item would not be here without a reason. How would the guides know?
You want to know what I was doing the day before this bat invasion? I believe it was...I inspected the tracks, patched my jacket elbow, had a couple of glasses, and found this pendant...I wanted to clean it up and give it to my wife. I wanted to clean it up and give it to my wife, in case one day I need to keep her in a good mood. And inside I found a portrait of a young woman. I knew my wife would not appreciate such a gift. If you want it, I'll give it to you.
-
illicit love
Detective
Do you think the dark artifact is spreading unpleasant dreams and trying to get everyone in town to bring their gifts here? There is only one way to find out for sure. Find out what the sleepwalkers left behind in the plaza. I hate to say this, but I think the ceramic rose I gave Juliette was among the gifts...
It's a ceramic rose... fragile and pale like Juliet. I can't believe she gave this away herself, man. There's a note in her hand. 'I want to be the most beautiful woman so that all the men will look at me and only me! Are you saying she wanted this when she took this gift?
-
Angry guide
Conductor
A new paranormal phenomenon has appeared in this city. Bats. They are hiding, of all places, by the gates of the lord's mansion! I went to get the bottle. I left it there yesterday. But then things started to look double. It was like looking in a slanted mirror. And I couldn't find anything. I'd be in your debt if you could get the bottle back for me.
You look as if you've been greeted by the Grim Reaper! I guess the bats gave you a bad time. But you got your liquor bottle back, didn't you?
-
Blade of Light
Mayor
We cannot dawdle. The faithful should be eliminated. Unfortunately, the shadows protect their slaves very well and only special weapons can defeat them. The blade of light is hidden in the catacombs. A woman hunter will help you get there.
The mayor asked me to hide this sword here. And we need it now. When you go to defeat the faithful, will you take me with you?
-
survey
Mayor
Thank you for your cooperation. You can never underestimate a guide. Though a bit of a drunk, the guide can lead the city's inhabitants and offer them shelter. As for the faithful...he wanders the deserted streets on the outskirts of town as if he is looking for something. He needs the detective's help. It will be difficult for the detective to work with the creepy creature, but he is a professional. We can start an investigation.
Witchcraft again...the ghost mayor has ordered me to find out what the devil and his minions need in the city. I'm not sure, but I'll take on that investigation. There are no other incidents in town, and there will be no more in the future.
-
spy
Mayor
A Samurai has appeared in the city. They are followers of a dark cult. The cult worships an evil sorcerer of the shadows. It is amazing how willingly people are willing to give their souls to the darkness. If we don't get rid of this monster soon, other believers will follow. To get rid of it, you will need allies and weapons. First, you should talk to the guides.
The faithful are a bad omen at all. Things were finally looking up. I even gave up drinking! We must fight. Let's block all the exits of the station. I will also be prepared to evacuate the city's inhabitants if necessary.
-
Switching lines
Conductor
We need to find the lever at the junction point and connect it to the track we drew. Finally, the ghost train will be able to get out of the cul-de-sac. Hurry up and find the lever.
We're almost ready for the turnout point! If you're not scared, let's go to the abandoned rail yard and send out a ghost train together!
-
Lack of detail
Huntress
Assembly is simple and such a cannon is easy to put together. While you go looking for one of the main components, the magnetic coil, get to work. Look near the angel statue. The guide may not have taken all the parts from over there yet.
While you were away somewhere I finished my work. The blueprints were too old and I had to correct a few things. It said to use maidenhair.
-
Weapons blueprints
Huntress
What shall we do? In such cases, we usually look for them in the archives of the city. The city is home to some talented inventors. Their ideas can be useful. The jokes of the guides actually work too. It's not funny, though. The power of the magnet paralyzes the gargoyles. That's what it takes!
Look here. A magnetic paralysis cannon! The inventor's name is not given, but the note says it was designed to immobilize knights in their armor. It's a strange idea, but it's exactly what we're looking for!
-
Strike into fastening device
Conductor
To lay the tracks, I need my work tool. It's the track worker's hammer. I don't even want to think about where it is anymore. Just find the hammer. Otherwise, the ghost train won't let me sleep!
You brought the track worker's hammer! Look, I put my name on all my tools. All right, I've got most of what I need to lay the tracks.
-
Whatever you can get your hands on.
Huntress
Are you saying that the city turned something brought here into an artifact for the Newcomers? Then we should look for the leaves of protection. We always have to protect Newcomers from trouble and monsters. That artifact is useful.
Are you telling me that this is a leftover guardian leaf? This is supposed to protect us from hardship, bad weather, and curses. But this is just a vein.
-
Women Hunters Proposal
Huntress
Believe it or not, an iron gargoyle just showed up in town. These are real killing machines! They have amazingly rustproof blades and claws. That's not all. Our guide saw it right by the train station. We have to take this monster down before someone gets hurt. Are you coming with us?
You noticed just in time! The iron gargoyles are already in town. I hope it's just one of them, but it would be better not to attack it. Normal weapons will not work. Don't even try to get close. They will kill you on the spot. Do not carry magnets either. They can attract very sharp objects.
-
Friendly Ghosts
Juliette
Your wife ordered me to get a scroll with a seal in the shape of a skull at City Hall. I have no right to ask why such an ominous object is needed. My job is to carry out the order. The problem is that the scroll is enchanted and invisible during the day. I can't go into City Hall at night, but I don't have time to explain why. Your wife needs the scroll immediately. Can you give me a hand?
Thank you. You've been really helpful. If you're interested, I can tell you why I never try to go into City Hall at night. Sometimes, especially in the dark, I feel like a ghost is following me. Sometimes it comes right up to me, right behind me, and with its cold, skinny fingers, it takes my hand...
-
City Excavator
Huntress
Can you believe it? I met a drilling crew in town! In all my years in the sewers, I had never seen one before. I was caught off guard and almost passed it off as an odd looking resident, but upon closer inspection... you want to know where it was?
The driller is no longer here, but he was definitely here. A spent flare, two rounds and one unused. This could be put on anywhere, even in a dungeon. Why did the excavator decide to come to town?
-
Good health comes first
Valerie
Are you looking for an artifact made at a charity market to help newcomers? What you need is a wild strawberry of health! When I first came to town, I wasn't very healthy and had a hard time adjusting. I even lacked the strength to run away from werewolves.
Are you sure these are healthy wild strawberries? I got a much stronger impression from your letter. What about the others who ate these? I don't feel particularly stronger or healthier.
-
Original Idea
Detective
Can't find your Thanksgiving artifact? Me neither. I have no idea what was wrong with the item or why the town hid this event. The letter mentions a blessed fruit that produces new ideas. Why don't we use it? Let's find out.
Is this the fruit of a blessing? The seed case that's supposed to contain new ideas is empty, man. This artifact is totally useless. I can't believe we're in such a dire situation. I'm kind of worried.
-
endless melancholy
Alex
Do you really believe that such a well-intentioned artifact could bring bad things to this plaza? I don't want to believe it. But you know what? The letter mentioned a festive pumpkin that uplifts the souls of others. Find it and I'll take it. I need it.
This pumpkin was a disappointment. It's empty inside, just like me. There is not a bit of joy in this artifact to ease my melancholy.
-
Cinderella berries
Juliette
You think the clue that the fog has hidden the gala is in the last Thanksgiving artifact, don't you? Let's look for the golden berries, dear friends. I want to feel like Cinderella! If what you wrote in your letter is true, then maybe I have a little secret wish too...
It must be a hidden box of golden nuts! But... it looks like it's just a shell with nothing in it. And my wish didn't come true. I wonder if it's broken?
-
fertility
Mistress
If you think the miracle of the city resides in this gilded object, you're wasting your time at all. Put this flag aside and look for the horn of fertility. It is more magical than any other Thanksgiving symbol.
This fertility corner is almost empty, isn't it? Maybe it's to hold some of the fall harvest. I don't sense any of the magic you're looking for.
-
Street Magic
Detective
What's the symbolism of a Thanksgiving celebration? In New York, we decorated our homes with colorful flags for every holiday. Inside and out! Look, buddy. Isn't that one of those flags?
It's a celebration flag, just like the ones I saw back home! But none of it looks like magic. I don't know who made it, but it ain't finished yet.
-
Princess of Corn
Conductor
I don't know much about miracles, but I do know about Thanksgiving. Every year my daughter makes corn dolls to celebrate the holiday. It's a simple thing, plain and simple, but the dolls have a soul. Even in the old days, someone's daughter must have made dolls for the event...
Yes, this is the corn doll made just for Thanksgiving. May I have one? I don't think you've finished making it yet. What? No, something just caught my eye...
-
Golden Harvest
Valerie
Did you find any clues about the ancient miracle? I noticed some golden berries growing there. It looked so good I tried it. It was so hard I thought I was going to break my teeth. Then I threw away the "tasty-looking fruit. Here it is, a lovely golden pumpkin... maybe there's a clue to the miracle?
Golden pumpkins are wonderful to look at, but they don't look like the magic of the city. But it doesn't look like the magic of the city. This one is a work in progress. I wonder if they ran out of golden paint during the Tsai?
-
Miracle of Hospitality
Juliette
What kind of miracle rewards compassion? Speaking of good deeds, hospitality. Why don't we just look for miracles that have to do with hospitality? I think I saw a beautiful turkey flower crown. They are meant to be hung on doors on Thanksgiving Day as a sign of hospitality. Find it!
Very pretty turkey flower crown. But it doesn't look magical. I wonder if something happened to the maker, though. This crown is still in the process of being made.
-
Under the mysterious arch
Adeline Svensson
This is Adeline Svensson. We are at the entrance to the Palace of Prayer. What a unique building with multiple oriental styles mixed in. Even in my long career, I have never seen anything like it! I can't wait to see what it looks like inside. Come on, let's hurry up and see what's going on under that magnificent archway of the Palace of Prayer! We can't keep Miss Peacock waiting too long, can we?
I met Miss Peacock. She told me that the inside of the prayer palace is as beautiful as the outside. She said there were fountains, statues, cushions, and feather-light fabrics on the walls...even flowers. He said it was as if they were waiting for Miss Peacock to visit. What does that mean?
-
meeting place
Agent Jones
We were to meet an informant nicknamed "The Collector" and give him the x-rays in exchange for some data. We were to meet in front of a bulletin board where the informant was to collect evidence of anomalies. Please find the location.
I went to the bulletin board and found no one there. Just as I looked at my watch, I heard someone's footsteps. I turned around thinking my informant had arrived...you already know the answer. There was an explosion and a flash of light... I think it was the collector who flew me into town.
-
Which witch?
Martha
Well, it looks like we found most of the Halloween Talismans. Now it's my turn. I hung a doll of a witch on a broom in the park. Please, find it.
Yes, this is my little witch. She looks a little like me, don't you think?
-
Barking Robot
Huntress
I'm donating my robodog to the ceremony. He's somewhere in the park, but you should be able to find him easily.
My dog ....... Won't be long now, will it?
-
Spider looking happy
Cardsharp
I heard they needed a talisman to help Juliette and the detective. I hear it's a special doll made for Halloween. You can have the little spider my grandfather used to make.
Oh, you found this cute little spider already? I'd be happy to have it back later.
-
Even monsters can be cute.
Conductor
I'm not much for crafts, but I made a Frankenstein's monster toy. Well, it's Halloween. Take it if you want it.
I hope Frankenstein's monster serves a noble purpose.
-
Impediments to the Lesson
Juliette
The melody coming from the back of "The Academy" sounds familiar. It is as if I have danced to this music before. I wonder if Charlotte, who wrote this letter, is one of the young ballerinas dancing in this hall? I don't want to interrupt your lesson. But what if Charlotte is in danger right now? Let's hurry inside!
As soon as we entered the "Ballet Academy," the music stopped. The ballerinas who were dancing disappeared into the sunlight! The scent of the flowers in the vase has turned to the smell of mold. The floor under my feet was shining, but now it is dusty and squeaky... My dear friends, what happened?
-
Little cute skeletons.
Mayor
Do you need a Halloween talisman made for the occasion by the people of the city? I used to have a stuffed skeleton. It was made especially for Halloween and stayed with my family for years.
Yes, this is my skeleton. Hope this helps Juliette and the detective.
-
final string (of a shamisen, etc.)
Valerie
According to Jack, there is only one more thread needed. It's the thread of enthusiasm. Let's find it together!
This yarn is incredibly beautiful! And this is going to save the holidays! Yay!
-
Strange photo
Detective
Even if it's true that Command was trying to get rid of Jones, the poison in the vitamins and the bomb in the car had nothing to do with him being flown into town, right? I mean, I don't see the connection at all... perhaps it has something to do with that "common purpose" or something like that? Let's open the book container and see what else is in there.
There is nothing unusual at all in these x-rays, even though they were placed in a special container and transported by a spy... I get it. So this mission and what was in the book container was all a hoax. It was a fake mission to get rid of Jones.
-
Inconsistent data
Agent Jones
Just the other day, I almost had a blast. Fortunately, I dropped my keys just before I got into my car. When I bent down to pick them up, I noticed a strange device under the car. I immediately realized it was an explosive device. It was well hidden, but I recognized it immediately. Would you like to take a look?
It looks like a nondescript box, but just turn on the engine and bam, it explodes, smashing everything to pieces. I had no idea that it was the command center that put this in my car.
-
Without love
Valerie
I must find a thread of love! With those wonderful senses, you definitely have the power to defeat any evil!
I'm no Martha, but I sense a strong aura of love emanating from this thread.
-
Joy over sorrow
Valerie
Now that you've found the thread of laughter, there must be a thread of joy! Let's find it!
Well! The moment I touched this thread, I was suddenly very happy! This is just magic!
-
best medicine
Valerie
I'm so embarrassed. I've caused so much trouble ....... I just wanted to play a little prank and make everyone laugh. ...... Do you think laughter can fix this trouble?
Hmmm, looks like regular yarn to me. But when I hold this in my hand, it kind of makes me want to laugh out loud.
-
A good win
Martha
I convinced Jack that the humans deserved his protection and goodwill. Heavenly power, thank you! You have given us hope that we will be saved from the invasion of spirits. Next we must find the five "threads of brightness." We need to get the right fabric and stop sewing festival costumes that allow the spirits to take over the people of the city. Let's start with the Thread of Kindness.
Yes, I feel it. There is an aura of kindness emanating from this thread. Keep up the good work.
-
Purple pumpkin
Cardsharp
I heard you were looking for something. I saw a weird purple pumpkin. I don't know where it's from, but it's not from around here. Come on, I'll show you.
See? It's a purple pumpkin with little wings. It's foreign, no matter how you look at it. I've never seen anything like that.
-
Pumpkin with another hat
Conductor
Before she became Dracula's bride, Juliette told me she saw a traditional French pumpkin in a park with a nifty little hat on it. Suffice it to say this, right?
Interesting looking pumpkin. Did it really come from France?
-
bloodthirsty pumpkin
Isabelle
I saw a lot of pumpkins burning by the statue in the park, and one of them was a vampire pumpkin. I think it's Romanian. Maybe that's exactly what you're looking for.
Very cute pumpkin. It does have a vampire face though.
-
Egyptian Pumpkin
Huntress
I heard you are looking for pumpkins from different countries? I saw an Egyptian pumpkin in the park. It was wrapped up in bandages like a mummy. It was really scary because I saw it in the dark!
Yes, these are Egyptian pumpkins. Good luck with the rest of your search.
-
Pumpkin of Salvation
Martha
Halloween spirits are angry. And it's all because of Valerie's shenanigans: ....... We need to show Jack that we all respect him and his traditions. Pumpkins are the symbol of Halloween. If we get pumpkins from all over the world, they will know we are honoring this holiday. I saw a pumpkin in a hat in the park. Can you bring it to me?
A traditional English pumpkin. Keep up the good work and you may be able to ask Jack for forgiveness.
-
payment
Huntress
Jack must be the first person to fool the devil twice! Next item on the list is the Devil's coal. Somehow I have a feeling that Jack will end up in the devil's hands in the end: ......
You brought coal. So now we know what happened to Jack!
-
power of steel
Huntress
Now we have to find the jackknife. It should be in the same place.
What a nondescript knife. I had better knives when I was a kid.
-
Unusual Fruits
Huntress
Jack is not a one trick pony! It's not easy to trick the devil! To hear any more stories, we need to deliver a kind of special fruit to the werewolf. I saw a strange fruit tree in the park by the statue. I'll show you. Let's go.
What kind of fruit is it? I don't know. But the important thing is that it will help us find out what happened to Jack!
-
sign of the cross
Huntress
Next the werewolf told me to bring the cross. I guess we need to find the same place as the coin. That means the park.
I see you found the cross! Good! Now let's hear the rest of Jack's story.
-
Old coins
Huntress
The werewolf said he needed an old coin that Jack had when he was alive. I think you can find it in the park near the horse rides.
The old coin is completely worn out, but you can still tell it's gold. Let's hear what role this played in Jack's fate.
-
Vampire Amulets
Valerie
Martha says that I don't choose the king of the ball. She says the spirits choose. Isn't that a shame? Anyway, I have to find my Dracula impression. Maybe that's where the name of the festival's headliner will come up.
Wow! A seal ring with Count Dracula's coat of arms on it! Is it real? It looks so old. ......
-
Nice stick
Valerie
Let Dracula have a walking stick so that he looks real from every angle. What are you talking about? Aristocrats in the movies always walk around with walking sticks!
Nice stick! Wow, the skeletal hand is holding a bloody ruby that looks like a heart. Makes Dracula's costume even more gorgeous!
-
Count's ornaments
Valerie
I flipped through the encyclopedia. Did you know that Dracula was a count? That means the costume has to have an upper class feel to it. A sophisticated brooch, for example.
Very well made! Definitely a very valuable accessory. The blood red stone in the center is the mark of a vampire.
-
Bloody Fangs
Valerie
There's a "D" sewn into the cape. Same as the others on the letter. This looks like Dracula's cape. If so, the person who wears the Dracula costume will be this year's "King of the Masquerade Ball. Great choice. I can't wait! Now let's continue our search and find the other parts of Dracula's costume. The fangs should be around here somewhere.
Look, look, look! Those fangs are so realistic! Did you pull them out of a vampire by any chance?
-
under cover of night
Valerie
Martha and the mayor scolded me for a full hour. ...... But I don't think there's anything to worry about. The spirit of Cerwyn whispered his first command before he was turned into a stone statue. "Bring me the two headliners of the masquerade." That means everything is in order and preparations for the holiday can go ahead! I'll definitely find all the parts of the leading couple's masquerade. And most of all, I have to find out who that honored couple is. I'm dying to know. Hurry up and find the parts for the festive costumes.
The black cloak with red satin lining is ...... so beautiful! Oh, there's a letter next to it. It would be interesting to read it.
-
The Call of the Spirit
Martha
Valerie, next we must accomplish the most important of the series of events leading up to the feast day. It's the summoning of the Halloween spirits. I can hear the sound of Sirwin's stallion's hooves as he gallops through the spirit world. It's coming! Find the bells of Cerwyn. With that sound, the spirits of Halloween will find their way into our world.
Oh heavenly powers, ...... the spirit of Thurwin has entered the world of the living. Valerie, take one step closer to the rider and say hello. You are the caretaker of Halloween.
-
air mobile
Valerie
I just put on the outfit and thought, I need one more piece of equipment. I need you to find me a witch's broom to finish it off. Not the kind that sweeps the city streets, but a special, enchanted broom.
A broom. That's nice! You found it quickly. Well, you can even fly! I need to practice my "caretaker flying" skills. On the night of the festival, people will be amazed to see me flying through the air wearing a gold mask and fluttering cloak.
-
cover one's face
Valerie
To complete the outfit, I need a golden mask. It's very valuable and scary rare. ...... Can you find the right one for me?
Wow! That's a very cool mask. It's pure gold! It's very heavy, but I guess that's the weight of responsibility. I'll do my best.
-
Cloak of Stars
Valerie
Next we need a cape. This will make the costume stand out clearly and let everyone know who is the best!
Did you find the cape? That's neat! It has a really bright little star on it! Now I won't get lost in the crowd!
-
Caretaker's hat
Martha
Valerie as a Halloween caretaker? I can't say I'm surprised. But it's the spirit's choice and it can't be overturned. The caretaker must awaken the spirit of Halloween. To do that, Valerie needs to dress up as a Halloween caretaker. Hat, cape, and mask. Find the witch's hat. It should be around here somewhere.
Well, what a cute hat! Let me try it on... it fits perfectly! It's amazing!
-
Who is the greatest?
Martha
So you've found the lair of the Halloween spirits! Look here ...... it's full of Sirwinian magic. I bet this is where all the big stuff happens when Halloween rolls around. Then let's find the names of the Halloween caretakers. Look carefully. Watch for anything unusual. A medallion, for example.
Did you find the medallion? I really ...... feel Sirwin's aura. Open it! I have to know the name of the sponsor. Who is the most honored citizen? The mayor? The lady hunter? Me, by any chance? Ah, the medallion has been opened! It contains a name written in flame-glowing letters. "Valerie." Valerie? Curious choice, don't you think? I think Valerie is too intriguing for the Halloween caretaker job.
-
Failed Poisoning
Agent Jones
Could it be that the command center was trying to get rid of me...? I thought it was Greensnake who was trying to poison me... because since she escaped, I have received several poisoned gifts from her. Most recently, the vitamins that the doctor at the command center prescribed for me were poisoned. Would you mind taking a look at them?
The label on the flask has only a bar code. All information is classified, but I have studied the greensnake process for so long that I knew it was poison at first glance. The color of this liquid is a bit of an unnatural blue, isn't it? That's because there's something else mixed in with the vitamins.
-
Last message
Detective
In order to find out how the Johns came to town, Martha is going to reenact the events leading up to their arrival here. Watch closely. There could be big clues hidden in the small details. Hey, can you hear me? There's a pay phone ringing somewhere! Let's find it and listen to what they have to say.
Oh, there it is! Here, hurry up and pick up the phone! I hear a wrinkled voice... "Foreman Jones has accomplished his mission. Therefore, his help is no longer needed in achieving our common goal. This is probably a message from headquarters.
-
Knot Antenna
Kira Woodville
The pyramid of fireflies is almost complete. We are gradually learning how it works, but one important part is missing. Yes, the ring of wisdom. My father called it an "antenna-shaped wire puzzle. Could you help me find it?
Have you found your circle of wisdom yet? My father helped me with this part when I was a kid. Will this really work as an antenna? Let's assemble the pyramid of fireflies and find out.
-
(electronic) communications jamming
Mr. Black
Keira Woodville is a fighter with a work ethic. I don't understand why she insists on those boring puzzles she received as a child. What? You need a "secret triangle"? Well, then find it for her. I want Keira back to work as soon as possible.
You found it. Hmmm, this is interesting... it seems that this triangle blocks extra signals coming into the communicator. It seems that the pyramid of fireflies that Keira got from her father is no ordinary puzzle...
-
Vintage case
Detective
There must be some kind of violin case that holds a small graceful gun. Try looking for it once. With a little weapon like that, you can search all over the sewers without fear of the monsters. I bet you could find the Mafia's secret hideout. All thanks to Mr. Lucaccio!
In the violin case was an Apache revolver. It's a very old, graceful gun. It's a pistol, a Merikensack, and a knife all in one. I will give this Apache revolver to Juliette when I search the sewers and find the secret lair of the Five Families. She won't need it at all, but it will be a comfort to me. Let's see what happens...Yo, what's that at the bottom of the case? There's a sheet of stave paper in there! It must have a message on it.
-
A trap to finish off an agent.
Martha
I will answer the questions of the detective and Agent Jones. In short, Mr. Jones was connected to the cult without realizing it himself. Bring me the artifact and I will tell Agent Jones what happened.
The artifact told me the truth. Agent Jones was meeting someone to hand over a container of books. When I arrived at the rendezvous point, I heard a sudden explosion and was blinded by a blinding flash of light. When my vision cleared, I saw a "shadow" disciple standing in front of Mr. Jones.
-
Spy Ploys
Agent Jones
I am surprised when you still have doubts about my identity. I understand. Let me show you some devices I have that have nothing to do with magic. In fact, I had the detective put a tracking device on it. Look carefully. There should be a small bug on his old-fashioned cloak.
This tracking device was put on while you were being chased by the detective. The detective seemed to think that I had dodged the dart, but he did not realize that I had a small insect on my clothing. Thanks to this bug, I knew where you people were searching and was able to successfully escape. I didn't take any magical help from you.
-
Pistol and Orchestra Blues
Detective
I miss the sound of the saxophone! No time for nostalgia now, though. We need to find the saxophone case! I don't know what kind of guns the mafia hid in it, but it will definitely help us find the secret hideouts of the five big families in the sewers.
Hidden in the saxophone case they found was a Mauser rifle. All right, we're almost fully armed now. Those sewer-dwelling monsters, they'll be running for their lives when they hear our footsteps. I think I'm ready to go looking for the Mafia's secret hideout!
-
Hidden Threats
Detective
I like the sound of the cello. I'm talking about a real cello, of course. I'm not talking about the one the mafia hides in a case. Based on the dimensions, I'm guessing it's a shotgun. Now let's find it. In order to find the Mafia's secret lair, we're going to need more protection from the monsters that live in the sewers. Hey...I think I can already hear something roaring from the bottom of the pipe!
You found the cello case! Be careful. The mafia must have hidden some hand grenades in there along with the shotgun. This is a real surprise weapon! When this is all over and we find the secret hideout of the Five Families, we will put them all in a locked and secure place. We'll be prepared for anything...
-
Popular Hideout
Huntress
There's got to be a guitar case in there somewhere. Look over there by the pipes. What the hell kind of gun do they put inside... anyway, the new gun should help us get through the basement unscathed.
Yay, I got my guitar case. Inside...wow, wow, that's a Browning! This guy's a perfect fit for your hands! If we run into a monster that lives in the sewers, it won't be a problem if we have the Mafia's hidden gun. I bet you're getting closer and closer to your secret lair!
-
Large stringed instruments
Inspector
Why don't we start by looking for double-base cases? It's the biggest one. We'll find it soon enough. There's a Tommy gun inside. With a weapon like this, there's no need to fear any underground monster! We'll find the Mafia's secret lair for sure.
Nice one, young man...I got hung up on it! No, never mind. You did it, you found a double-base case with a tommy gun in it. Good, now continue your search for other weapons. That way we can protect ourselves from the monsters that live in the sewers. Or you can find the Mafia's secret lair.
-
Cult's Offer
Rayden Storke
I've studied the note found in the first cache. The message was written in haste, and the text suddenly breaks off. Help me find the mailbox we saw with the Shadow Lamp! Maybe we'll find another message for Carlos in it.
Thank you for finding the mailbox! This is a great place for a cache, because no one has sent mail in the Foggy Backstreet for a long time. And here is the note: "Shadow disciples came to our group and offered us to join them, but we refused..."

Survivors in the Fog
Mr. Black
We managed to find out that someone left Carlos messages throughout the Foggy Backstreet. Let's look into every cache we can find - what if Carlos forgot to cover his tracks? Check out that forged ventilation grate, it's easy to hide something behind it.
Ha, I was right! Behind the ventilation grate, there was a message on crystal chip paper: "We're alive! The scavengers taught us how to survive in the fog." Hmm, the handwriting is the same as the Comet's note, which Rayden found in Carlos's workshop.

Secret Observer
Mr. Black
We examined most of the Foggy Backstreet, but there are no traces of Carlos here. It's as if he vanished into thin fog. I also feel someone's eyes on the back of my head. Try to find the doors with peepholes without attracting attention.
Well done! So there's only one peephole - on the Pawnbroker's door. He's most likely watching us. Well, since the Pawnbroker is peeping on us, let's drop by on him. If he watches every passerby like this, then he must've seen Carlos.
-
Underground Bidding
Mr. Black
I was informed that an underground auction is being held today in the Foggy Backstreet. What if Carlos decided to attend this illegal event? The letter might've been an invitation to it. Get some auction signs, we'll go there disguised as bidders.
Great, we have the auction signs! We'll disguise ourselves as guests and get inside the hall. Rumor has it that at these underground auctions, you can even buy anti-fog crystals. I hope Carlos didn't come here to sell a few crystals from the City's reserve.
-
Professional Robbery
Mr. Black
What if these scavenging bandits lured Carlos to the Foggy Backstreet so that he'd help them crack some tricky lock? Carlos has the best understanding of complex mechanisms in the City. Look, there's a handle from a cracked safe there, let's examine it!
See how professionally this handle was removed from a safe? It's the work of a specialist who knows his trade! Carlos once designed a reliable lock for the Security Service's safe. It's possible that the scavengers used Carlos's skills for their own purposes.
-
Fresh Tracks
Mr. Black
I hope that Carlos will have something to say in his defense when we find him. Look - fresh shoe prints! Maybe they belong to Carlos? There's something shiny over there, where the tracks disapper into the fog. I can't make out what it is from here. Let's try to get it!
Is it a plate for making coins? Hmm, it could well belong to the person Carlos met here. I know several counterfeiters who worked in the Foggy Backstreet but they've allegedly retired. We need to interrogate them!
-
Document Dealer
Mr. Black
Let's examine the Foggy Backstreet - maybe Carlos's tracks are still there and we'll get lucky and find him! What's lying on the pavement over there? It looks like a passport. Maybe Carlos dropped it? Let's see it!
This passport is fake! See, there's no photo in it yet. Johnny One-Hundred-Names sells such passports. I didn't think he was still trading in the Foggy Backstreet. When we find Carlos, I'll definitely come back here and shut down this rogue's shop!

Traditional curved brim
Inspector
I need to find the hat of the last mafia traitor on the list. Gino Gambitti. Probably that sturdy looking Homburg hat. There's a gray felt one on the bench. Can you bring it to me? I can't wait to open the way to the Mafia's secret lair.
Good job! I got the Homburg hat of Gino Gambitti, a Mafia traitor. The Mafia is cruel to traitors. But I don't feel sorry for them. They must have killed many people without knowing it. But they had a good reason to betray the Mafia. "What makes me qualified to desert people?" I don't know if I'm qualified to desert people," they used to say.
-
historical exoticism
Detective
I don't see anyone wearing a border hat anymore. I saw one on the stairs. Bring it to me. I can tell you for sure that none of the living have it. That's exactly what we're looking for. Mafia bosses are waiting for proof of a traitor's death.
That's a Giovanni Floriano border hat. Thanks, buddy. You sure you weren't a cop in the real world? Oh, well, whatever. Find that last hat and you'll pave the way to the secret lair of the Five Families.
-
broad-brimmed
Isabelle
I kind of feel like I'm getting to know the gang's fashion sense more and more as we work. According to Juliette, this hat is a Borsalino hat. Bring it to me. I know who it belongs to. Hopefully this will pave the way to the secret lair of the legendary Five Families.
You found a Borsalino hat! This one belongs to Jim Ribinolli. He's the guy who went against one of the five big family bosses. Typically, there's always a reason for betrayal. But we don't have time to go over all the details. We're close to opening the door to the Mafia's secret lair.

Precious container
Agent Jones
You seem to have lost your mind, Detective, suspecting involvement with an evil cult. Then how about we make a deal? Bring me the container of my book that was confiscated when you were captured by the detectives. I will prove to you that it is not an item influenced by witchcraft.
You are a wonderful person! As you can see, there is nothing magical about this book container. Nevertheless, I am relieved that this book container, including the key, is safe. I'm sure the detectives would have a temper tantrum if they knew you returned this to me. What? He already knows? That's too bad. I was so happy that you and I could keep our little secret...
-
dark horse
Detective
This Jones, who pretends to be an agent, with all his falsehoods about important events and ciphers in the newspapers... I'm pretty sure it was the shadow cult that gave him the assignment, not the command center. The chain fell on the cobblestones right next to Jones. That's the same one worn by the Shadow's disciples. Let's check it out, buddy.
Okay, you found the chain. Based on the symbol, it seems certain that this was made for a "shadow" apprentice. And it seems that this abominable accessory belongs to Jones. But a werewolf would never attack a "shadow" apprentice...

Foundations
Rayden Storke
Can you see why Keira is so eager to put the puzzle together? Everyone in the City of Shadows is desperate to get something related to their family. Let's find a three-dimensional puzzle to use as the foundation for the pyramid of fireflies.
So you found a three-dimensional puzzle. That's great! From what Keira told me, her father was not the type of person who would make a run-of-the-mill puzzle. The pyramid of fireflies she is trying to assemble is probably no ordinary toy.

Elegant items
Juliette
Oh, there's a trilby hat on the tree. Please go get it. That way I'll know whose hat it is. I don't think I can reach it. I bet it's one of the five hats needed to pave the way to the Mafia's secret lair.
Thanks for bringing the trilby hat. What a graceful gem. It has a name on it. "Emilio Ruppolo." That's exactly what we've been looking for. Only three hats left of the men who betrayed the Cosa Nostra. That should pave the way to the Mafia's secret lair.
-
A hatter's nightmare
Inspector
There is a reason why the Mafia bosses named the traitors in their last message. Perhaps the names are in the hats that are scattered all over the clearing in the woods. Let's start at the beginning of the list. Look for Giuseppe Armano's hat. Hopefully I'll find it as I expect.
I see that this luxury fedora hat has a tag with the letter G on it. It belongs to Armano. I hate to think about the fact that its owner is dead. I shudder to think about it. Find another hat. It will lead us to the secret lair of the Five Families.

King of glitter and poverty
Inspector
I think I saw a cigar case with "Lecony" inscribed on the corner there. Yes, the Lecony family is the oldest mafia family in New York City. But it started out as a mere street gang in Brooklyn. Bring me that cigar case. That'll give Lucky a clue as to the Mafia's secret lair! I can't wait to find out what is hidden there.
That's a Lecony cigar case. It's the only one made of wood! Looks like at least one of the Five Families had moderation. That doesn't mean he was a nice guy, though: their boss was shot dead by Vito Giovenezo himself in 1925. This was the beginning of a war between Mafia families. We all know how it ended. Lucky must be happy with what we've got. Perhaps now he will tell us about his secret lair.
-
Second Name
Detective
Well, here's why we spent so much time looking for this cigar case! You see, the Colombino family used to call themselves the Profitt family. In honor of their boss, Joe Proffitt. We need to find something with that name engraved on it. We can't stop here! We've collected almost all the cigar cases. If we find two more, Lucky will lead us to the secret lair of the Five Families. And we'll find out about Ms. Crawley.
Good job, buddy! My guess was right. We found a cigar case labeled Joe Proffitt. But this one belongs to the Colombino family. We've collected almost all of the cigar cases. One more to go. That'll give us Lucky's next clue.

Messages from distant lands
Agent Jones
My name is Jones. I came to this city on orders from the command center. I am to receive my mission instructions through messages in the newspaper. There will be a special crossword puzzle for me in the newspaper. Would you like to see it? Why don't you try your hand at it? Yesterday's newspaper is on the stand there. Please look for it.
As you may have already noticed, this newspaper is not published in this city. And the crossword puzzle in the entertainment section is, what can I say...not for amateurs. Let me tell you how to unravel some of the messages. You read only the second letter of the first word in the question.

suspicious character (person, figure)
Detective
We need to find out what the connection is between this guy and the shadow cult. We also need to find out why he left things at the homes of the residents and why those five were chosen... Hey, it looks like the female hunter's decoction helped her regain consciousness. I'm sure a lot of things will come to light soon. In the meantime, let's take a look at this guy's ID.
That's a hell of a lot of paperwork. Is this guy a journalist? Or maybe he's a doctor... or a lawyer. Hey, these are all fakes! Well done... the photos are all the same, but the names are different on each document. Which one is this guy's real name? Who the hell is this guy?
-
Let there be light!
Isabelle
According to my anomaly analyzer, an unusual level of magic was detected during the fight. So it looks like the werewolf appeared in response to something else, not the man. To confirm this, we can follow the fire serpent anomaly into the pack. That should take care of the werewolf and you should be good to go. Be sure to return it later.
Looks like it worked. The wave of black magic being created by the fire serpent anomaly is weakening the magic on the werewolf. See, the monsters are waking up and fleeing!

Weapons that stun the enemy
Huntress
That guy the detective is chasing is putting up a good fight against a bunch of werewolves! By the way, those monsters look like they've been hypnotized. They don't run away no matter what I do, and they don't seem to feel any pain when they're attacked. Hey, can you bring me the slingshot I use when I hunt? I can teach you how to use it. I'm going to help him out.
This slingshot is a simple but reliable weapon. Hold the pachinko firmly and set it down with whatever you have to replace the bullets. And aim at the werewolf's hairy face! Okay, here we go. Pull carefully... yes, now! Bravo! I got him!
-
pinch
Detective
We still don't know who these newcomers are, but if they are being attacked by werewolves, we need to help them. But to do that, we'll need something more powerful than a pitchfork... yes, can you bring the ultrasonic blaster that the professor made for us?
I've used ultrasonic blasters to scare off monsters many times before, but it doesn't seem to be working so well this time... those werewolves are rampaging instead of running away. Look at that guy, he's frantically punching away...he seems to have mastered the technique of bare-knuckle fighting!
-
Abnormal Movement
Huntress
Looks like the werewolves have gone hunting, even though the full moon is still a long way off. This must definitely have something to do with the shadow cult! I'll try to scare them off using the characteristic pitchfork... yes, I left it at Isabelle's place! I was going to have her add runes to it to make it an even more powerful weapon. Hurry up and go get it!
This projectile, powered by runes, makes a loud noise when you twist it. Werewolves don't like the sound and usually run away quickly... but most of them don't seem to shy away.

Keep the tracks safe.
Conductor
Ah, the hardest part of the work is finally done. Just a few more details need to be worked out to build the track for the ghost train. Fasteners. Go get the dog nails.
Finding a lot of dog nails was definitely a good decision. I just hope there are enough to lay tracks for the ghost train.
-
tree linkage
Conductor
At night, I can't sleep because of the rattling noise of the ghost train. I have to build a track and connect the cul-de-sac tracks to the main line so the train can leave. Besides the tracks, we also need sleepers. Bring them to me... and hurry up.
Thank God, the sleepers aren't as heavy as the tracks. But I still need more. I have to work a little more. I never thought it would be this hard to make tracks for a ghost train.
-
Modern atmosphere
Inspector
Strange...no ticket booth here, no one to check tickets. It's all the rage now! Okay, why don't we sit right in front of the troops? From there, you can hear the play and clearly see the wonderful costumes and decorations.
That's fantastic! As soon as I got to my seat, the actor and actress went in opposite directions and I froze. The actress stopped moving in the dark. The male actor's last line was about someone not on stage...their voices stuck and disappeared. Is this part of the play?
-
Glitter and strife
Inspector
Did Alex really know this? There's a cigar case with the Giovenezo family name on it, but it's covered in diamonds, isn't it? Whatever it is, find all the cigar cases anyway. Then we can ask Lucky about the mafia's secret hideout.
Oh, the diamonds on this Giovenezo cigar case are just sparkling! Let's find another cigar case and get this job done, shall we? Speaking of Vito Giovenezo, he is thought to be one of the men who started the famous Castellammarese War. It's the case where the gangsters fought for the dispatch of New York City. Hopefully Lucky will be satisfied.
-
Barrier of thorns
Detective
It turns out that the guy who showed up in this town and left things in the homes of the residents is related to the cult of shadows. But if he is being attacked by werewolves, he must not be a disciple of the Shadow. Look, he's surrounded by werewolves! Okay, we'll use the same strategy here. We're going to surround these werewolves with silver water chestnuts made of pure silver. Hurry up and find them!
Buddy, scatter the silver ginglings on the streets where they are hidden. It should distract the monsters and prevent them from entering the residential area. Werewolves don't like sharp objects. They'll be in a panic!

A slightly different vase
Lady
It seems that my mansion has been visited by a...well...newcomer. But nothing that belongs to me is missing. On the contrary, there seems to be more stuff. Someone left an elegant bouquet holder. I was going to give it to the detective, but I think I dropped it somewhere... can you help me find it?
It's a very beautiful and elegant bouquet holder, but if you put flowers in it, they die quickly. Besides, ever since I found it, I have been having a lot of dark thoughts. I would never have done that before. Whoever left it must be good at putting people under psychological pressure.

Living a life of luxury is not a sin.
Alex
Have my eyes gone crazy, or do you see a gold cigar case on that bench? I'm pretty sure that's Carlo Gambito's. He was the model for Vito Corleone in "The Godfather. Have you seen that movie? You haven't seen it? Well, forget about the movie. Just bring me that cigar case. Lucky will tell you where the Mafia is hiding. Without him, we can't save Angela Crowley.
Wow, those mobsters must have lived in luxury! What's next, a cigar case covered in diamonds? Anyway, I need all five of the cigar cases to finally get Lucky to tell me about the Mafia's secret lair.
