How to Start the Quest
During the Phantom of Ballett I mission, you will need to talk to Old Man Rhodes near the entrance to your video rental store on Sixth Street. After finishing the conversation with him, you will receive the corresponding order.
Next, go to your office, interact with the HDD system and find the desired task in the “Main Line” of Chapter 3. The game will advise you to take ethereal and ice characters of at least level 32, but you can choose any pumped heroes that you have, since the enemies in this test have no resistance to certain attributes.
Find the place where the twins perform
Once you appear on the playing field, start moving up, and at the fork, turn right and pick up the 1st surveillance data package. Then continue to the right side to the very end and go down, engaging in a fight with the etherials. A combat test will begin, where you will have to deal with a group of ordinary mobs.
After collecting all the coins and the suitcase at the bottom, go back and now start moving up, following the arrow. This will take you to the stage. Pick up the 2nd surveillance data package at the top and stand on the cell with the letter “Z”. You will learn that it is impossible to film due to the lighting, so you need to turn off all the lamps.
Turn off the lights in the auditorium
To turn off the lights, simply stand on the cells with lamps. However, after turning off the lights, the monsters nearby turn into insurmountable obstacles, so you will need to go around them, finding alternative routes.
The screenshot above shows the entire hall with lighting. In this picture, you can see the location of all the monster obstacles. We also showed the optimal path to turn off all the lights in the room.
Next, you will need to shoot a video on the camera, standing on the same cell as before, located in the center of the hall. Watch a short performance on the stage, after which you will have access to a new area in the north.
Take a video in the dressing room
Go upstairs, turn right and go even further north. Then turn left and you will see a secret path a little higher leading to a lamp – stand on it to light it. Collect two purple suitcases and a coin.
Now go left and collect the 3rd surveillance data package. Continue moving left until you see a secret passage at the top leading to another lamp. Stand on it, collect the money, and then explore the sound room upstairs – press all the buttons. As a result, some shadow will appear below, which will leave behind a golden key.
After taking the key, return to the place where the data packet was, open the door at the top and light the last lamp. Then stand on the cage with the folder and magnifying glass to shoot the last video. Next, you will need to stand on the cage with the flag that appeared at the top to start the combat test.
Deal with a group of Ahrimans and Ghosts, and then go to the large arena, where you will have to fight the Armored Hati. The first thing you will need to do is remove his armor, quickly stunning him, and then dealing maximum damage with chain attacks and the ult (if ready). Then you can deal with this mini-boss without any problems.
This will end the order. If you followed our instructions, you will receive an “S” rating and the maximum reward: 270 Internet credits, 30 poichromes, 18 thousand denni and a lot of materials for leveling up.
