Walkthrough of the Favorite quest
How to start
The quest will begin automatically after the mission “The Only Way to Meet Tomorrow”, after you get to the selection site.
Get ready to leave
Go through a couple of corridors to reach the area with the Delight. Here Mr. Aiden will briefly explain to you the rules of the future competition. In dialogues you can choose any answer options.
Go to the entrance to the first stage
Continue north. The guide will ask you to choose one of two competitions: Acting or Action. To make a choice, walk to the sphere in front of you, interact with it, and then press the button with the desired challenge.
Acting
Go forward along the corridor and talk to the guide. Then go up the stairs and turn left.
First test
With the first answer, you can choose any option, with the second – “Penaconia is truly the land of possibilities!” If you choose a different answer, Firefly will prompt you to think again.
Second test
Climb the stairs that appear.
In this challenge you need to choose the right moves for each situation:
- I'll roll in the sand.
- Stand up and bang your fist.
Again, you will not be punished for incorrect answers, so do not be afraid to make mistakes.
Third test
Go up the next stairs and talk to the strict judge. She will offer 3 options for the development of events, from which you can choose any – all of them are incorrect. Firefly will get tired of her and offer to edit the judge's emotions.
Interact with the Judge's Clockwork and change her emotion to “Delight”. The woman will consider that you have passed the test and will let you go.
Action
Talk with a guide.
Talk to the first judge. Your opponents will be 2 Soda Hounds and 2 Fortune Merchants – their vulnerabilities are shown in the screenshot below. We recommend defeating the merchants first to restore your energy.
After winning, go up the stairs that appear and talk to the second judge. This time you will have to fight the same enemies, joined by 2 Sweet Gorillas. The enemy vulnerabilities are shown in the screenshot.
Up the stairs, you will meet last opponents: 2 Overcooked. Try to hit them as many times as possible to cause a Kitchen Accident and reduce their HP.
Go to the entrance to the second stage
After passing any of the tests, head to the exit of the location and talk to the guide. Next, you will again have a choice: “Hour” and “Fire”.
Fire
< p>Talk to the guide and follow the corridor, then interact with the TV to transform into Hana.
Interact with the pipe on the opposite wall to get to the next location. Continue down the corridor and talk to the gentleman with the mosaic.
Collect the puzzle pieces
The first piece of the puzzle is in the corner on the opposite side of the room to the gentleman. We advise you to go behind the sofas to avoid being seen by the monsters. Use the teleportation device next to the puzzle.
You will be taken to the top of the bookshelf. Follow it to the second fragment.
A little further you will find a regular chest. Even further you will find a vase that you can push onto the monster below.
Go to the end of the shelf and teleport to the floor. Approach the monster and take the mosaic fragment.
Go back to the mosaic and assemble it.
Interact with the TV again, then go up the stairs. In the next room, talk to Hanu and Chasik. Interact with the new TV to transform yourself again.
Exit the room and turn right. Walk past the boxes to reach the storage room.
The rocket launcher is on the opposite side of the room. To get to it, run, hiding from the monsters under the shelves. Now you can destroy all mobs in the room.
Then 3 more monsters will appear – shoot the one in the middle to destroy everyone at once.
After the victory, several more opponents will arrive and walk around the room. Don't forget to pick up shells and hide behind the shelves, otherwise you will be quickly discovered. Try to wait until the monsters are close to each other in order to get rid of them all with one shot.
Interact with the next TV. As a reward for the test you will receive a luxurious chest.
Hour
< p>Talk to your guide and learn the rules of the game. Then run forward and talk to the huge walkers. Chasik will decide to help the unfortunate walkers and ask you to collect the missing parts.
First detail
Go east and go down the stairs. The part floats between the balls.
To get to the rest of the parts, you will have to solve an additional puzzle.
Interact with the Eye of Dreams nearby and go down to the next road .
Launch the Dream module and move it to go to another location.
Second detail
Exit the Eye of Dreams and move on. Along the way, you'll come across an origami bird stuck in Overcooked's tail. Defeat the monster (there will be 2 more Fortune Merchants with him), save the bird and take the part from it.
Return to the Eye of Dreams and launch the Dream module. Close the eye and head south.
There, open another eye and follow a new road. Launch the dream module and rotate it. On the way, pick up a regular chest.
Third detail
On the next small area, open the new module and rotate it. Close the Eye of Dreams and move on.
Run past the monsters and go down the stairs. Take the last part.
To return to the walkers, use the spatial anchor. Return the parts to the walkers and enter their emote face. Now you have to solve a couple of puzzles with Chasik.
First puzzle
In the first puzzle, just move the part closest to Chasik to his platform.
Second puzzle
This time you need to move the previous piece a little more, flip the blue and orange pieces twice, and move the mirror and the last yellow piece down. The movement diagram and the final result are shown below.
After this, chaos will begin in the inner world of the walkers, and you will have to use the Clockwork Mechanism.
Third puzzle
Move both yellow pieces down, turn the orange piece 2 times, blue – once.
Go to the entrance to the third stage
Follow the corridor north and talk to the guide. You have a final test ahead of you, which you can pass in one of two arenas. They are no different, so your choice will have virtually no effect.
Go forward along the corridor and talk from Argentina. The Superstar contender will challenge you to a duel, and the fight will begin. Read about the tactics of fighting Argenti in our guide to this boss.
How to convince Argenti let you pass
It is not necessary to fight this boss, as you can persuade him to let you through by choosing the following answers when talking to him:
- So you are the red-haired participant?!
- U saving the world is on my agenda, so step aside, okay?
After that, without hiding, tell Argenti about the Watchmaker and Stellaron. The Beauty Knight will trust you and will not stop you, so he will let you go ahead without a fight. This will allow you to get a slightly different achievement.
Get to the finish line
After a victory or successful negotiations, walk the carpet. Sunday will meet you at the final site. He will report that the Oak Clan cannot meet the demands of the Star Express.
You will see a flashback with a conversation between Welt, Sunday, Robin and the Lord of Dreams. The head of the Oak clan admits that all his life he and his sister followed the path of Order, not Harmony.
Afterwards you will be transported to the inner world of Resurrection, and the quest will be completed.
