Completing the Exploration mission “A Night Called Tenderness”
How to start a quest
Access to it opens automatically immediately after completing the last quest in the line called “A Good Omen, My Friend.” Just take a look at your mission log and start tracking it if it hasn't already been prioritized.
Follow Firefly and Chasik
Start running after the girl until you run into Chasik. Talk to him, and then start following the cartoon character. You will approach a group of people surrounding Misha and Acheron.
Then Chasik will teach you how to use the energy of the Clockwork Mechanism to transform negative emotions into positive ones. Approach the gang leader and talk to him, and then select the option “Feel the power of the Clockwork!” Next, find the “Peace” emotion and click on the “Customize” button.
As a result, the bandits will calm down and leave. Chat with Misha and Acheron. After completing the conversation, continue running after the Firefly. Approach the yellow sphere. You will again have to solve the puzzle with the spheromet.
Spheromet 1 puzzle solution
You will have two charges – use them to turn on two screens. Next, rotate the screen closest to you once to create a connection between the spheres. Finally, press Space. The picture below shows the finished solution.
After going upstairs, approach the girl. Climb into the hatch and watch a video in which they will show a conversation between Sparkle and Aventurine. You will find yourself in a new location – the Dream Border. Climb the ladder and continue running after the Firefly. Next, go to the quest marker. The guard will not let you through.
Use the Clockwork Mechanism
Interact with the man from the Hound clan and try to count his emotions. The current one is “Peace”. You will need to select “Anger” to provoke it. Then there will be a fight with the TV Belly and the Soda Hounds. Their vulnerabilities are shown in the picture below.
After dealing with the guard, go down the stairs. It is not necessary to fight the enemies you meet along the way. Approach the purple bird to begin solving the next puzzle.
Solution to the Eye of Dreams 1 riddle
The camera will move away from the player, opening up new passages for you. Go down the stairs that appear on the left. Then go to the glowing beacon and close the Eye of Dreams to return to normal game mode. You will receive the achievement “This Endless Garland”.
Move on and launch the Dream Module. Move it to create a bridge for yourself and move forward. Once on the other side, use the module again and move it back to go to the quest marker.
Fight telebellies and dancing beaks along the way. The latter cause physical damage and have a small chance of causing Bleeding.
Solution to the puzzle Mosaic of Dreams 1
Having dealt with the enemies, go to the Mosaic of Dreams, standing slightly ahead, and interact with it. You will need to assemble it by dragging the missing pieces onto the picture. The screenshot below shows which parts need to be placed where.
If you need to rotate a fragment, first move it to the picture, and then click on it once. In this case, only one part will need to be deployed. Again it is shown in the image above.
After solving the puzzle, start the dream module and rotate it once. Now go up the stairs to the sign. To go further you will have to fight two groups of enemies. Their vulnerabilities are shown in the pictures below. Here you will most likely meet the Spring Dealer for the first time, which can reduce the resistance of your characters to effects.
Solving the spheromet puzzle 2
Having dealt with the opponents, go further and interact with the sphere launcher. You will have 5 charges to activate the screens. Turn them all on, then rotate them as shown in the screenshot below and click on Spacebar.
You will be able to climb to the roof of the building. Continue up to the next marker. You can take a break and appreciate the Bolshoi Theater (optional) by going to the platform on the left. Talk to Firefly.
Solution to the Eye of Dreams 2 riddle
Go to the second owl statue and click on it. Take the stairs on the right to the dream module and move it, creating a bridge for yourself.
Go downstairs, and if you want to pick up another chest, then go to the second dream module on the left and move it. Now you can close the eye by approaching the statue near the barrier.
Solution to the Eye of Dreams 3 riddle
Move on, collecting chests along the way. There is no need to fight enemies. Approach the next owl statue and interact with it. Here you just need to go up and then exit eye mode.
Solution to the puzzle Mosaic of Dreams 2
Run forward and deal with two groups of enemies so that they do not interfere with you in the future. Then approach the next dream mosaic. However, this time she will not have enough fragments, so you will have to find them.
Luckily, they are both marked with markers. Go down the stairs and talk to the Dreammaker sitting on the floor. He will not have the emotions you are used to, so first you will need to find the lost gear. To do this, go upstairs to a couple in love and absorb their emotions. You will receive the Rapture Gear. Return to the Dreammaker and launch the emote dial. As a reward you will receive the first fragment of the mosaic.
Now go to the second sign – here you will have to fight a group of opponents. Their vulnerabilities are shown in the picture below. Having dealt with them, you will receive the last fragment. Return to the mosaic.
You will need to place two parts on the picture as shown in the screenshot below. One of the fragments will need to be rotated once.
Solution to the Eye of Dreams 4 riddle
Click on the bird, and then go left to the dream module and move it once to open the way to the second lighthouse.
Close the Dream Eye and then go upstairs to launch another Dream Module and rotate it.
Return to the owl statue below and reactivate the Eye of Dreams mode. You can now move forward to the valuable chest. Return to normal mode and approach the quest marker. Run forward and go up the stairs.
How to defeat Overcooked
We are talking about a new elite enemy, whose vulnerabilities are shown in the picture below. He is capable of inflicting huge fire damage to both one character and all your heroes at once. When receiving damage, it will increase the Furnace Heating status. When Overcooked reaches all levels, he will immediately perform a powerful attack.
For this reason, we advise you not to bring the situation to a boiling point, but try to reduce the enemy's resistance as soon as possible by breaking through his vulnerability . Having dealt with the opponents, rise even higher and chat with Firefly.
You can choose any answers, so how they will not affect anything (only some dialogues will change). Taking a selfie will complete the mission. As a reward, you will receive 900 Mastery experience, 110 star jades, 100 thousand credits, 450 hour credits, 12 traveler's guides, 10 lost crystals and a new song. Plus, you will have access to the next mission, “Through a Glass Darkly.”
