Walkthrough of the quest “Shattered Memories” in XSR
To find the shopkeeper and start the quest, you need to:
- Unlock the map of Ochema;
- Complete the quest “O Curtain of the Night, Hide the Silent Past” from the main storyline of Amphoraeus to open the location of the Pool of Fate.
Having finished with the preparations, Move to the anchor at the Marble Fairin the southern part of Ochema and approach Demetria, who is clutching her head and whose fruit stand is in the alley opposite Kiros' restaurant. The old woman will tell our main character about her grief: six months ago, her daughter and her husband went missing during an expedition, and just yesterday, Demetria dreamed of a quarrel between spouses in a small camp. An acquaintance of the Hecate family volunteered to find evidence and asks to join our hero's search.
Inspect the camp in the Pool of Fate
Go to the place of the supposed missing spouses, located at the edge of the road west of the anchor Dark lands of silence in the Pool of Fate. Hecate, waiting for a companion, left the place untouched so that the search in memories would go smoothly.
Look for clues in the past
Now you need to examine the memory fragments contained in three purple crystals: above the pillow, by the cliff, and next to the tent. There is no need to follow a specific order of viewing. To find out what happened, go to each mechanism and select the action “Activate a fragment of memory“, and then eavesdrop on the dialogues from the past.
Crystal above the pillow (1)
A tile can be obtained from the shard above the maroon pillow: it testifies to the conflict and subsequent attack of Hades on Posephone.
Crystal in front of the ravine (2)
From a Shard Before the Cliff drops a tattered scroll: it contains the screams of Hades, apparently attacked by ill-wishers.
Crystal by the tent (3)
After examining the shard before the tent can be used to get the link stone: the upset Posephone wanted to use it before she set the Titan's offspring on Hades.
Talk to Hecate about the evidence
Having found three important clues in the camp, approach Hecate, standing near the scroll of revelation “The Titan Supporting the World” and discuss the investigation. You can choose to discuss any clue, since you will still have to talk about each one separately. The girl will simultaneously reconstruct the picture of what happened and suggest returning to Demetria.
Tell Demetria about the results of the investigation
Return to Ohemu to the fruit shop at the Marble Fair and give Demetria your report on what happened at the abandoned camp.
Choosing one of the three items found in the camp will influence Demetria's attitude towards the situation:
- Tile (bad outcome) may lead the old lady to think that Posephone is already dead;
- Link Stone (good outcome) gives hope that Posephone managed to escape from her treacherous husband, which means the search must continue;
- Scroll(neutral outcome) informs about the conspiracy against both spouses, but does not provide specific information about their future fate.
By clicking on one of the options and listening to Demetria's reaction, you can change your mind and provide another piece of evidence (after the answer “Let me think…”), but this will not affect the final amount of rewards and achievements. After the results of the investigation are announced, the quest will be completed.
As a reward for helping old lady Demetria, you will receive the following trophies: 10 jades (+5 for collecting the achievement), 2 Memory Shards, 5 thousand credits and 2 condensed ethers to raise the levels of cones.
