Get to Port Romaritime Flower and talk to the girl near the water
After teleporting to a new waypoint located in the realm of Farahkert, you will need to get to the port area. To do this, jump down and call Wavewalker on the shore near the anchorage. You can also try eating endurance meals and using the glider to fly over to the other side.

How to distribute magic bags and collect materials
Lyney will tell you about the prophecy and give you magical bags that you need to give to the locals: Etienne, Augereau and Galatea. The first two are on the pier, and the last one is on the ship. Their location is shown in the pictures below. Next, chat with the illusionist again.
Before heading to the capital, you will need to collect materials to create new magical bags. This is about romarines which can be found nearby. Select a Hydro character and attack the flower before collecting it. After picking up three plants, chat with Lyney again.

Shadows of lies under the spotlight
Explore the opera house for clues
After watching the cutscene, you will receive the Magical Exchange at the Opera House Case Log, which you can use to study the evidence and organize the evidence. Now you need to find clues. To do this, press the "E" key. A lot of magnifying glass icons will appear for you to interact with.
First place with evidence is on the stage where the water cage crashed. Already visited points will be highlighted with green checkmarks. Near the open chamber hatch you will find a special rope. Chat with the gendarme Maurice to find out information about the missing girl. Chat with Quentin to find out that the Random Number Generator always produces the same result. This completes the exploration of the first place.
Second place is located near the second magic box, which can be reached by stairs. After examining the closet, talk to Esildor to get a clue about the strange sound during the performance.
Start climbing even higher and exit into the lobby. A cutscene with Navia will start here. With her support, look around third place. You will need to chat with the gendarme Tristana. You will get clues about entrances and exits.
After examining the evidence, return to the main opera hall to find out how Lyney is doing. You will learn the secret of his trick, and get new clues - a magic trick, a magic box device on the stage and a magic box device in the auditorium.
Explore the tunnel for clues
When the conversation is over, press the "E" button to see new places with evidence - start exploring them. Pay attention to the clothes, the broken vase, the hook on the rope and the ventilation hatch for the relevant clues. You need to explore both sides of the tunnel.
After examining all the evidence, return to the surface and talk to Navia again. After a snack, you will receive another clue - the possibility of a third party.
Take part in the trial
Use the Paimon menu to scroll through the time to tomorrow morning (08:00-10:00). Next, go down to the stage at the opera house and watch the new video. Then the court hearing will begin. As part of it, you can look at the journal at any time to check the collected evidence and evidence.
The meeting will be interrupted as you learn that Lyney and Lynette belong to Fatui. Talk to your clients again. You agree to continue to protect them despite the deceit. By the way, you can choose any dialogue options, since they do not affect anything at the moment. You will receive new clues - Lyney story and a voice in the room with the Oratris core.
Keep participating in court
Return to the courtroom to continue the session. So, you will be able to call pieces of evidence invalid based on the other side's account of events. For this, it is necessary to use the evidence and evidence collected earlier. You will need to convince the audience that you are right - you can see their support with the help of Oratris (huge scales).
You will need to find and refute all existing failed links by completing the rebuttal cycle and revealing the truth. Select any link, and then click on the "Search for contradictions" button and start substituting evidence:
- Lyney enters the tunnel - here you have nothing to refute Furina's words, since the illusionist really entered the tunnel.
- Lyney attacks Halsey - when looking for contradictions, you will need to select Lyney Tale as evidence.
- Lyney kidnaps Halsey - when looking for contradictions, you will need to select "Voices in the Tunnel" as evidence.
- Lyney stuns Cowell - when looking for contradictions, you will need to select "Girl's Clothes" as evidence.
- The incident on the stage - here you have nothing to refute the words of Furina.
That is, it is enough to refute only 3 links in the chain in order to tip the scales in your favor. However, the lawsuit does not end there.
Next, you will need to choose proof that Lyney was not in the tunnel at the time of the crime. Right choice:
- Strange sound during performance.
Now you have to determine the real culprit of the crime. After receiving three clues, you will have to choose the last clue out of three possible ones yourself. Correct option:
- Cowell
Then you need to draw up Coll's criminal plan to see all his moves:
- How can we understand that Lyney could not have participated in the crime? - select " Lyney Tale".
- How to prove that there really was a conflict in the tunnel? - Select Strange sound during performance.
- Who is the prime suspect now? - Select Cowell.
- Where did Halsey go? - There are no correct options here.
You will not be able to understand where Halsey has gone, but then you will try to make a new plan. The first three clues will be the same, but the fourth one:
- Broken vase.
When things come to a standstill, the gendarmes will examine the personal belongings of the victim and discover a new piece of evidence - the Water of the Primordial Sea. You again have to restore the killer's plan. To do this, select the following options:
- Who is the prime suspect now? - select the Cowell clue.
- What prop did the killer use to control the dissolution time? - select the clue "Thrown hook on a rope."
- How did the killer dissolve Halsey? - select the evidence "Water of the Primordial Sea".
- What props did the killer use to hide the mechanism of the murder? - select the evidence "The device of the magic box in the auditorium."
Furina will build another version of the events that happened, which you will have nothing to cover. However, the disappeared Halsey, who is actually called Lillian, will suddenly appear. The thief confesses to everything, so you will need to disprove the Hydro Archon again, using the new evidence:
- Lyney enters the tunnel - there is nothing to refute here.
- Halsey's dissolution - here you need to select the "Strange sound during the performance" clue.
- Lyney and Cowell are fighting - here you need to select the "Broken Vase" clue.
- Lyney stuns Cowell - here you need to select the "Girl's Clothes" clue.
It will be enough to refute the three links of the story so that the scales again pass to your side. Watch the long video.
At the end, leave the theater, but Navia will stop you at the exit. Talk to her. This concludes the entire chapter. As a reward for the quest, you will receive 1425 adventure points, 62.2 thousand pestilence, 6 hero books, 30 primogems and 11 magical enhancement ore.
