Walkthrough of the Mastery mission “Through a Glass Darkly”
How to start a task
The quest will appear in your journal immediately after the mission ends "A Night Called Tenderness". You can also track your goal in the quest log.
Travel to the Golden Moment
Teleport to the corresponding location in the Dream World, to Chasik Square. There won't be anyone there.
Travel to the southern part of Golden Moment, to the entrance to the Dreams Hotel.
Instead of crew members, you will find Sampo here. A conflict will flare up between him and Firefly, after which the man will send you to the “real Dream World” - falling into sleep, you will see that behind Sampo’s appearance there was a girl in red.
You will wake up in a hotel and receive a message from Himeko, but you will not be able to answer her - the messages simply will not be sent.
Leave the room
The room you find yourself in is called “Child’s Dream”. Here you can examine some items. Examine the table in the southern part of the room to obtain a sticker "Grandfather's Work" and a gear "Sadness".
Closer to the exit of the room you can take a sticker "Sparkle", and a little further, behind the screen, open an ordinary chest.
After leaving the room, talk to Firefly. She will offer to go together in search of a way out.
Before moving forward, we recommend going in the opposite direction, opening the regular chest and taking the sticker "Memories I".
Find a way out
Run along the corridor to the north. You won't be able to go further due to the unstable floor, so you'll have to turn left.
After some time you will come across a bubble fountain. Take the dream bubbles and run further.
Go to the bubbles against the wall and use yours to build a bubble bridge.
Run along the ceiling, create another bridge and go to the other side of the room.
Open the chest and click on the special mechanism to make the floor stable.
This way you can get your bubbles back and use them in the location shown in the screenshot.
Using the created bubble bridge, you can get to the wall and pick up another chest.
Move on
Once you've completed exploring this area, run through the next door. You'll be back in a room with an unstable floor, but you can now use the mechanism to fix it to collect the sticker "Memories II".
Nearby sits a Sweet Gorilla (fire, physical and imaginary vulnerabilities), defeating which you will receive a luxurious chest.
Go to the exit
Talk to Firefly and go down the stairs. Take the bubbles and use them near the wall to build a bridge. Run a little further and use this ability again.
Explore the waterfall with Firefly and move on. Re-create the bubble bridge to go down.
On the next area, you can run past the enemies and return the bubbles to build the next bridge. After it, turn right and create another one.
Turn the corner and run past the enemies again to the next bridge. Climb up and, before reaching the enemies, turn right.
Go up the stairs. On the site you can pick up a luxurious chest and a sticker "Ice Fountain of Memories". Exit the palace.
Solve the puzzle
After going through a couple of doors, you will see a puzzle. Examine it.
Two pieces will scatter around the room.
In the right corridor, defeat two waves of memes (enemies and vulnerabilities are shown in the screenshots), after which you can pick up the sticker "Memories III". Nearby is a regular chest.
To get the lost puzzle, break the two purple bottles near the bookshelf. This will also help you replenish your vehicle points.
In the room to the left of the main puzzle you can pick up a sticker "Toy house". Behind it there is a stack of books and a paper bird. Pet her to get the second puzzle.
Open the gate
Complete the puzzle to open the door. You can pick up a sticker at the exit "Memories IV".
Go through the doors. In an empty room you will find a chest. Open it.
In the chest you will find fragment of a mysterious mosaic.
Leave this place
Go through the doors and listen to the cries for help. At some point they will turn into white noise, and an unknown monster will attack you.
Defeat the creature
Memory zone meme: Something has to do with death fire, wind and imaginary vulnerability, so we recommend taking a team from the appropriate damage types. Characters that use bonus attacks and deal periodic damage will be especially effective. The fight with the meme takes place in two phases.
In the first phase, the monster deals physical damage to one or all of your allies with normal attacks. Periodically uses the skill "Fading Glow" : When your characters perform any actions (except bonus attacks), the boss accumulates the Sunset status. Having received 3 levels of status, the boss casts a Painful Sleep on the last active hero and imprisons him in Shrine of Souls. If all your fighters are imprisoned, you will immediately lose.
Tombs are presented as separate enemies and have the same vulnerabilities. Their HP bar is divided into 5 parts. Any attacks, penetration of vulnerabilities and periodic damage are removed one part at a time. If your hero is imprisoned in the Tomb, we advise you to switch your attention from the boss to it and finish it off as soon as possible.
After the first phase, a short cutscene will begin in which the Black Swan will join you. After this, the second phase of the battle will begin.
In the second phase, you can call on the Black Swan for help: she breaks through the wind vulnerability, inflicts periodic damage and removes 1 part of the HP bar from the Tomb of Souls. The ability to use Swan's help accumulates as the battle progresses.
At the beginning of the battle, 2 of your heroes will be imprisoned in the Tombs, so we again advise you to get rid of them as soon as possible.
The boss mechanics in this phase are slightly different. Applying a skill "Towards the Moonrise", he chooses two heroes to act next. On his next turn, he inflicts Painful Sleep on these characters.
Having defeated the enemy, you will wake up in a hotel. Swan will suggest telling your friends that you are safe.
