Walkthrough the mission of Mastery “Through a Glass Darkly”
How to start the task
The quest will appear in your journal immediately after finishing the mission “A Night Called Tenderness”. You can also track your goal in the quest log.
Go to the Golden Moment
Teleport to the corresponding location in the Dream World, to Chasik Square . There will be no one there.
Go to the southern part of the Golden Moment, to the entrance to the Dreams Hotel.
< /p>
Instead of crew members, you will find Sampo here. A conflict will break out 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 the hotel and receive a message from Himeko, but you will not be able to answer her – messages simply will not be sent.
Leave the room
The room you find yourself in is called “The Child’s Dream”. Here you can examine some items. Examine the table in the southern part of the room to obtain a “Grandpa's Work” sticker and a “Sadness” gear.
Closer to the exit of the room you can take the “Sparkle” sticker, and a little further, behind the screen, open a regular chest.
After leaving the room, talk to Firefly. She will offer to go together in search of a way out.
Before moving forward, we advise you to go in the opposite direction, open the normal chest and take the “Memories I” sticker “.
Find the exit
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 near 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 place indicated 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 get the Memories II sticker.
< /p>
Sitting nearby is a Sweet Gorilla (fire, physical and imaginary vulnerabilities), defeating which will give you 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.
< /p>
Examine the waterfall with Firefly and move on. Create a bubble bridge again 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.
Climb the stairs. At the site you can pick up a luxurious chest and an “Ice Fountain of Memories” sticker. Exit the palace.
Solve the Puzzle
After going through a couple of doors, you will see a puzzle. Inspect 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 “Memories III” sticker. There is a regular chest nearby.
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 the “Toy House” sticker. Behind it there is a stack of books and a paper bird. Pet it to get the second puzzle.
Open the gate
Assemble the mosaic to open the door. At the exit you can pick up the “Memories IV” sticker.
< /p>
Go through the doors. In an empty room you will find a chest. Open it.
In the chest you will find a 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 to death has fire, wind and imaginary vulnerabilities, so we recommend taking a team from the corresponding 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 Fading Glow skill: when your characters perform any actions (except bonus attacks), the boss accumulates the Sunset status. Having received 3 status levels, the boss casts a Painful Sleep on the last active hero and imprisons him in the Tomb 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 Tomb, so again we advise you to get rid of them as soon as possible.
The boss mechanics in this phase are few are different. When he casts Moonrise, he selects two heroes to act next. On his next turn, he places Painful Sleep on these characters.
After defeating the enemy, you will wake up in the hotel. The swan will offer to tell your friends that you are safe.
