When the Night Knocks

Go investigate in the Whining Aix's Mire

Cultured Exile: Three days ago, the delivery van reached Waving Battlefield near Whining Aix's Mire!

Cultured Exile: Journeying from the New Federation to Jinzhou, it braved countless trials to arrive at its destination, but alas...

Tianhu: Enough. Explain it in five words.

Cultured Exile: Suspicious! Courier escaped! Package lost!

Tianhu: You're the one who's in charge of this.

Cultured Exile: Y-yes, but Boss...

Tianhu: Whatever you do, do it right and do it clean. That's the Cruising Drake's principle. Finish what you started.

Cultured Exile: Ah, Lollo Logistics! How despicable! Utterly insufferable!

Cultured Exile: I shall reclaim the package myself, that much is clear!

The Exile grunts and storms toward the delivery station.

Rover: (He better not be stirring up any trouble.)

Rover: (No time to call the Patrollers. Let's see what he's up to.)

Follow the Exile

Cultured Exile: I've already explained what happened, just give me the package.

Cultured Exile: If you can't, I'll... I'll file a complaint with your manager!

Courier: Don't worry, Lollo Logistics always takes care of its customers. We'll definitely get back to you within three business days.

Cultured Exile: Three days!? What if it's broken or lost? Don't you know how serious—

Courier: Oh, if it's broken or lost, you can get a full refund. Plus, the shipping insurance you have covers it. So really, there's nothing to worry about!

Cultured Exile: ...If you say so. Come to think of it, Lollo Logistics has never missed a delivery... In that case, I'll come back later.

The Exile stresses the package's importance, and after a member of Lollo Logistics assures them it will be retrieved, he leaves in reluctance.

Courier: Oh, I know you! You're the Rover! A household name in Jinzhou!

Lumi: Hiya! I'm Lumi, the logistics team's good ol' captain. I head up the delivery team.

Lumi: Oh, he's a regular customer. He might seem unfriendly, but he follows the rules.

Lumi: It's a bit complicated... The lost package is labeled as "high value." My team member Fulei was supposed to deliver it.

Lumi: He mentioned seeing weird things in Whining Aix's Mire, kinda like the stuff happening over in Tacet Fields.

Lumi: I didn't notice anything unusual lookin' around, but...

Rover: But what?

Lumi: I'm not sure if it's related... but ever since I've returned from the Whining Aix's Mire, I haven't had any dreams.

Lumi's Terminal: We promise, we deliver! We promise, we deliver!

Lumi: Ah, it's my coworker. Sorry, I need to take this call.

Lumi: It's one of my team members. She crashed while delivering an express package.

Lumi: The doctor told her to rest, but she's already back to work...

Lumi: Hmph... I need to bring her back. She can't be pushin' herself like this.

Lumi: I was planning to search Whining Aix's Mire again, but now...

Lumi: Amazing! Thank you so much!

Lumi: No problem. I'll make sure you're well rewarded!

Investigate the depths of Waving Battlefield

Rover: What happened here?

Rover: The Somnoire gateway must be just ahead...

Rover: But why is it closed?

Defeat the enemies

Check on the white cat

Strange White Cat: Meow!

Step into the strange gateway

Complete Dreamscape Odyssey: Against All Odds

Rover: Nobody's here, just this cat. What's going on...

Approach the giant black cat?

???: Just know that even the great Rover cannot stop me now!

A moon with an ethereal brightness, a pond glimmering beneath the night sky, and a massive shadow lurking in the darkness... In an instant, it feels as if every memory has slipped away, like a fleeting nightmare. You sense that you've traveled back to the moment you first stepped through the gateway.

Talk to the Illusia

Illusia: It's you... you've returned.

Illusia: Here, countless dreams rush in...

Illusia: These dreams... I no longer wish to have them, to remember anything.

Illusia: But I do remember things about you...

Illusia: You're the only one who can restore everything to its rightful place. That's what he said to me.

Illusia: Farewell, Dreamwalker. May your thoughts remain unclouded.

Illusia: ...

Enter the gateway

Investigate the dumpster

Rover: What is this? I've never seen this in the Somnoire before.

Rover: I should look around for more information.

Rover: (This is... a delivery checklist. The name signed here is "Fulei.")

Rover: (The rest is smudged. Someone must have lost it here.)

Investigate the pile of crates

Rover: (Some kind of fragment lodged between those rocks. Something from a delivery crate?)

Rover: (This is probably where Fulei lost the package, but where is it now...)

Continue forward

Talk to the strange white cat

Continue forward

Defeat the enemies

Rover: (Is that... Lumi? The Tacet Discords are after her!)

Enter the gateway

Defeat the enemies standing in your way

Catch up with Lumi

Defeat the enemies

Talk to the strange white cat

Enter the gateway

Lumi: Work finished... Best get movin'. Too many tasks, too little time.

Rover: Why can't she hear me?

Rover: No, she's in danger！

Defeat the enemies standing in your way

Defeat the enemies

Talk to the strange white cat

Enter the gateway

Reach the other side

Earlier, over on Lumi's side...

Lumi: Fulei said the package was lost nearby... Hmm, where is it?

Investigate the dumpster

Lumi: Oh! It's his delivery checklist!

Lumi: The paper's all smudged, can't read a thing...

Lumi: This fragment is from the delivery container... Ugh, where's the package? What if it's been damaged...

Lumi: Where could it be? Hopefully, I'll find a clue ahead.

Investigate the pile of crates

Lumi: Nothing here...

Enter the gateway

Lumi: Ah! Where did those Tacet Discords come from?

Lumi: Can't waste my time with them...

Get out of here

Run!

Continue onward

Lumi: Phew... made it out at last. But why did those monsters stop chasing me?

Lumi: Ugh, I keep getting sidetracked. Focus, Lumi! Think about what you're gonna do next.

Lumi: First, find the missing package...

Lumi: Second, make sure Tangtang gets back safely and help with the express order...

Lumi: Third, organize a welcome party for the new recruits... get my own work finished...

Lumi: Best get movin'. Too many tasks, too little time.

Lumi: I'm their leader. Got to act the part. They're counting on me...

Talk to the strange white cat

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Enter the Gate

Defeat the enemies

Lumi: This must be where Tangtang crashed... I need to find her first, Fulei's package can wait.

Lumi: Why are there Tacet Discords here? Where is Tangtang? Is she...

Defeat the enemy

Rover: Lumi! Thank goodness you're safe!

Defeat the enemies

Lumi: Rover!!!

Rover: Let's deal with it first and go find Tangtang.

Lumi: Let's do it!!!

Go look for Tangtang with Rover

Lumi: Phew, finally... Rover, let's go find Tangtang!

Leave the Somnoire

Tangtang: You're here, Lumi! I've been looking for you!

Lumi: Looking for me? I should be the one saying that. I heard you had an accident...

Tangtang: A small scratch, no biggie.

Tangtang: I was worried you might run into a Tacet Discord, so I came looking for you.

Lumi: Thanks, I'm fine. Let me help you with the delivery.

Tangtang: It's okay. The address is around here somewhere. It won't take long.

Lumi: But you're hurt. You relax and let me handle it, alright?

Tangtang: I can manage, really. You have your own tasks to do. I can even help you later when I'm done!

Lumi: It's my job to look out for you... That's what a team leader should do.

Tangtang: I know, and you've been doing great. I just want to lighten the load.

Lumi: Aww, Tangtang...

Tangtang: Don't worry! I'll catch up with you after I finish this order!

Lumi: Okay!

Lumi: Thank you, Tangtang. I mean it.

Lumi: And you, Rover...

Talk to Lumi

Lumi: D'ya know what, I had a dream just now! And guess what? You were in it!

Lumi: My team members were asking for help, but I couldn't get to them.

Lumi: I kept getting blocked or showing up too late.

Lumi: I was so worried, thinking they might be disappointed or not need me anymore.

Lumi: But later, I managed to find a girl who'd got into an accident.

Lumi: I don't know how, but I felt like you were guiding me.

Lumi: Talking with her made me see how important it is to support each other.

Lumi: I help my team, and they help me right back.

Lumi: I think that's where I found the strength to escape that nightmare.

Lumi: I wouldn't have realized this without your help. Thank you so much, Rover.

Talk to the white cat in the carriage

Strange White Cat: Only a bit...

Strange White Cat: Somnoire breaks into world. My authority... lost.

Strange White Cat: A sharp mind. You are smart.

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Rover: (Lumi hasn't had any dreams since visiting Whining Aix's Mire.)

Rover: (And the Illusia I just saw of her... This abnormal Somnoire seems to be trapping parts of people's consciousness in their dreams.)

Rover: (If this has been going on for a while, Lumi might not be the only one trapped here.)

Rover: (She dreams about her team, but what about the others? I need to find more clues.)

Complete Dreamscape Odyssey: The Mountain and Six Credits

You feel your body grow heavy, as if you're sinking beneath the water, and finally find yourself in an unfamiliar dream.

Art Manager: If you don't paint, you can't earn! You don't wanna end up broke, do ya?

Art Manager: So what? Your clients' preferences are what matter most.

Art Manager: Don't worry, Master Zhezhi! I handpicked your clients and know them like the back of my hand.

Art Manager: That painting was outstandingly popular, I would know.

Art Manager: Of course. Take your time, Master Zhezhi. Let me know when you've decided.

Go look for inspiration

Zhezhi: Ha... I need a walk now. Maybe I'll find some new inspiration.

Find a good viewpoint to design your composition

Zhezhi: This place...

Zhezhi: It's all so beautiful... I have to capture it.

Zhezhi: Let me find the perfect spot to stop and paint.

Zhezhi: The landscape looks great from this side. It's perfect for planning my painting.

Zhezhi: Waters and mountains rest by the pane, valleys and peaks in the dream remain...

Zhezhi: The composition looks fine, but something's still missing...

Zhezhi: Maybe I should get closer to see the tiny details of the trees and rocks.

Talk to the strange white cat

Zhezhi: That place should be close enough.

Zhezhi: Waterlamp, Dewvetch, Pearl Leaf, and Bittberry...

Zhezhi: These vibrant plants harmonize exquisitely with the cold stones.

Continue onward

Showcase Tacet Discords in your painting

Zhezhi: Didn't expect to see Tacet Discords like that here.

Zhezhi: Hmm... They do complete the scene I had in mind.

Return to speak with your manager

Zhezhi: The details of the stones and trees... I got it.

Zhezhi: I can show this draft to my manager.

Art Manager: ...

Art Manager: Zhezhi, you're a true master! Would a master present a client with a half-finished piece?

Art Manager: Your last painting sold for the highest price at auction! Give the people what they want, that's what I always say.

Art Manager: With all due respect, Master Zhezhi, not everyone will buy whatever you paint.

Art Manager: I've worked so hard to find a few clients who love your style. How can I sell your paintings if you can't cater to their needs?

Art Manager: Please focus on recre—I mean, creating tonight! I won't disturb you. I'll come and pick it up tomorrow.

Art Manager: No more indulging your every creative whim. All I'm asking for is another Winter's Serenade in Bloom. I'm counting on you, Master Zhezhi!

Paint?

Zhezhi: ...

Zhezhi quickly completes yet another copy of the Winter's Serenade in Bloom. However, her manager soon requests another one.

Zhezhi: I have to make another copy...

Zhezhi: ...

Zhezhi loses track of how many times she recreates the same painting, the stack of scrolls growing ever taller.

Paint...?

Zhezhi: ...

Perhaps I'm nothing more than a tool for copying paintings.

Zhezhi: In their eyes... am I only capable of copying my old work?

Zhezhi: Can I really call myself an artist then?

Resist the nightmares

Rover: Zhezhi.

Stop the nightmares from corrupting Zhezhi

Rover: What do you really want to paint?

Rover: Do you remember when you painted the first Winter's Serenade in Bloom?

Zhezhi: Yes. I saw flowers blooming in the middle of winter, and birds were circling around...

Rover: You worked really hard on it.

Zhezhi: And... that hard work should be noticed.

Defeat the nightmares

Stop the nightmares from corrupting Zhezhi

Confront the nightmares

Rover: Believe in your judgment, your brush, and yourself.

Zhezhi: Believe in... myself.

Activate Dream Link and defeat the nightmares together

Defeat the nightmares

(Zhezhi musters her courage and continues to work on the unfinished draft.)

Zhezhi: Waters and mountains rest by the pane, valleys and peaks in the dream remain. Colors of vanity washed away, the painted world fades, forgotten today...

Zhezhi: This giant bird... It's... it's the one from Winter's Serenade in Bloom!

Art Manager: I keep telling you, your clients only want that one painting!

Art Manager: Don't be so stubborn, Zhezhi! A painting that doesn't sell well is meaningless!

Zhezhi: I'm the artist, not just the brush.

Zhezhi: It's the soul I put into my paintings that makes people appreciate them!

Leave the Somnoire

Zhezhi: Thank you, Rover...

Talk to the white cat in the carriage

Strange White Cat: Dreams cleansed! Power restored! I can talk now.

Strange White Cat: Somnoire is growing faster... If this keeps up, Solaris will be in danger.

Strange White Cat: Walk through more gateways. Save people from dreams. Fight that person. I'm counting on you!

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Strange White Cat: Meow...

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Rover: (From the looks of it, I'm probably the only one who can enter the Somnoire as I please...)

Rover: (Besides that cat, the only other people here are the ones trapped in their dreams.)

Rover: (I will be the one to help them escape.)

Encore: A long, long time ago, there was a brave warrior in the Magical Kingdom. Her name was Encore.

Encore: One day, she met her good friend, Cloudy.

Encore: Come on, Cloudy!

Cloudy: Baa!

Talk to Cosmos

Encore: But not everyone in the Magical Kingdom was very nice...

Encore: One day, Warrior Encore met Cosmos.

Encore: There you go, Cosmos!

"Cosmos": I used to live in the Magical Kingdom, but I went on a big adventure far away.

"Cosmos": When I came back, no one knew me, and they wouldn't play with me...

"Cosmos": Really? That's so nice of you! Sob, sob...

Defeat the monsters sent by the Big Bad Demon

Encore: Sad little adventurer Cosmos was so moved by these words.

Encore: This special friendship made him join Encore's team.

Encore: With his brave heart, Cosmos decided to fight the Big Bad Demon and save the Magical Kingdom with Encore!

"Cosmos": Baa!

Talk to the strange white cat

Encore: In the end, Encore's super team took care of the monsters! But the Woolies got hurt...

Find the magic Golden Sprout

Encore: To help them feel better, Warrior Encore climbed all the hills and swimmed all the rivers.

Encore: She walked a long way and finally found the magic Golden Sprout!

Collect the magic Golden Sprout

Encore: She picked it up carefully, and ta-da! She made medicine that healed the Woolies!

Encore: Then, the super team marched on their way to fight the Big Bad Demon.

Talk to the strange white cat

Continue your journey to defeat the Big Bad Demon

Rescue the Candlestick Fairy and Gray Ear the Rabbit

Encore: The Big Bad Demon sent more monsters to stop Encore.

Encore: But every one of them was defeated by her super team!

Encore: Their amazing feats made lots of people in the Magical Kingdom excited.

Encore: More and more people wanted to join Encore's team.

Encore: After careful picking by Warrior Encore, they chose the Candlestick Fairy, who breathes fire.

Encore: Encore also picked Gray Ear the Rabbit, who can slice bread into 100 pieces, and the Stool Spirit, who likes to zoom around on four legs.

Encore: Then came Miss Clover, Uncle Broom, and Grandpa Coal...

Encore: With more friends joining, Encore's team got bigger and stronger, becoming the super-duper awesome team!

Rescue Grandpa Coal and Miss Clover

Talk to the strange white cat

Continue your journey to defeat the Big Bad Demon

Head to the final battlefield

Encore: At last, it was time to fight the Big Bad Demon!

Encore: Gray Ear the Rabbit made yummy bread for everyone so they wouldn't fight on empty stomachs.

Encore: Cloudy put on a show about a brave princess the night before to cheer everyone up.

As the curtain rises, Rover takes his seat among the audience.

Look around and wait for the final battle

Find a place to sit down and watch the final battle

Encore: On the big battle day, Adventurer Cosmos led the super-duper awesome team to dodge traps and face the Big Bad Demon.

Encore: They battled it out!

Encore: Gray Ear the Rabbit held Uncle Broom and rode the Stool Spirit to charge at the Big Bad Demon!

Encore: Everyone fought bravely!

Encore: Finally, Warrior Encore and the Woolies teamed up for the final blow!

Encore: They defeated the Big Bad Demon! Encore's team stopped his evil plan and brought peace back to the Magical Kingdom.

Talk to the Big Bad Demon

Big Bad Demon: Hmm... Huh... You beat me today, but there'll always be more demons in this kingdom...

Big Bad Demon: Someone's gotta be the Big Bad Demon!

Encore: But why did you have to pick this path?

Big Bad Demon: Before I was big and bad, nobody paid any attention to me.

Big Bad Demon: Now they all fear me!

Encore: But you could be a hero like me!

Big Bad Demon: Me? No... I can't.

Big Bad Demon: I don't have your bravery. More importantly, I don't have any friends...

Encore: It's okay!

Encore: Being a hero isn't just about fighting or going on adventures.

Encore: Uncle Broom keeps the castle spotless. Candlestick Fairy keeps things bright.

Encore: They don't need to be on my team to be heroic warriors. They already are.

Encore: Just do your best at everything and have fun! That's how heroes do lots of cool stuff!

Encore: Don't worry. You can do it too!

Talk to Encore

Leave the Somnoire

Find the gateway to leave the Somnoire

Rover: Didn't I just leave the Somnoire... Why am I still here?

Rover: Encore's not here. Did she leave already? Let me see if I can find another gateway.

Leave the Somnoire

Rover: The Gatekeeper? Who's the one beside him?

Approach the Ebony Gatekeeper

Shadow of a Girl: Excuse me, sir. Is this all real? Are you the god of this realm?

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: ...How did you get in?

Shadow of a Girl: I don't know... I was supposed to be at my Grandma's funeral.

Shadow of a Girl: I was watching over her and lost track of time.

Shadow of a Girl: The next moment, I was here... Maybe I fell asleep?

Listen to the Ebony Gatekeeper and Illusia's conversation

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: A part of your consciousness entered Somnoire when you fell asleep.

Shadow of a Girl: Somnoire? What's that? Some kind of Sonoro?

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: No, but you can think of it that way.

Shadow of a Girl: Well... just now, I met a girl around my age. She had the same name as Grandma.

Shadow of a Girl: She lived in the same town, had a group of friends, and liked to catch dragonflies in the mountains.

Shadow of a Girl: The only difference is, the temple that should be demolished by monsters was still there, east of the town...

Shadow of a Girl: Grandma used to say that people would pay tribute to their ancestors in that temple every year. The ceremony would be as grand as the Moon-Chasing Festival.

Shadow of a Girl: As much as she loved that town, she never stopped wanting to explore the world outside it.

Shadow of a Girl: Um, I heard the Sonoro Sphere can keep memories of people or even a place's history. Is that true?

Shadow of a Girl: What I saw just now, is it real? Is that girl my Grandma?

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: My apologies, but I cannot answer that.

Shadow of a Girl: Can I come here again?

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: ...No.

Shadow of a Girl: What happens when I wake up? Will this place and my memory of it disappear?

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: Everything you saw here will be erased, except your memory. That I have no control over.

Shadow of a Girl: That's a relief... Thank you, kind sir. That's given me some hope.

Shadow of a Girl: In my memories, Grandma always took care of everyone in the family.

Shadow of a Girl: She raised her children and they left home, then her grandchildren, repeating this cycle her entire life in that old house.

Shadow of a Girl: I always wanted to travel, but I couldn't bear to leave Grandma alone.

Shadow of a Girl: This dream showed me a different side of her. She was once a young girl with dreams... just like me.

Shadow of a Girl: She dreamed of traveling, meeting new people, and starting a family.

Shadow of a Girl: Now I feel grateful to be part of such a family. And even more grateful to have this side of Grandma live on in my memories.

Shadow of a Girl: I used to think she was old and lonely, but she really glowed with her hopes and dreams.

Shadow of a Girl: Thank you, sir. Thank you for showing me this.

Ebony Gatekeeper's Phantom: ...

Rover: That happened in the past... I was looking at their Illusias.

Rover: The Gatekeeper showed this to me... What is he trying to tell me?

Warning: Please leave the Somnoire. Data from the last phase will be deleted. Repeat, data from the last phase will be deleted.

Get out of this room!

Rover: It's about to collapse... Better leave now.

Talk to the Ebony Gatekeeper

Ebony Gatekeeper: It isn't. It's due to Somnoire's innate design.

Ebony Gatekeeper: It appears so, but the answer is something more fundamental.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Such a large and complex creation is necessary to save a world torn apart by the Lament.

Ebony Gatekeeper: The dreams it stores contain countless possibilities...

Ebony Gatekeeper: Millions upon millions of dreams converge in Somnoire... Perhaps within one lies the key to vanquishing the Lament.

Ebony Gatekeeper: They're closely connected to you... But that's not important right now.

Ebony Gatekeeper: One day, you'll find out who they are.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Every day, people dream, but Somnoire's capacity is finite.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Dreams that don't aid in defeating the Lament are deemed worthless.

Ebony Gatekeeper: My duty is to erase them, like a heartless executioner.

Ebony Gatekeeper: By this reasoning, the two dreams you just witnessed should also be erased—they offer no solution to save our world.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Indeed... those dreams are truly precious.

Ebony Gatekeeper: They deserved to be remembered.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Somnoire has tens of millions of gateways that lead to numerous realms... but it's still too small compared to Solaris.

Rover: Those gateways that appeared by the Whining Aix's Mire... It's all because of you.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Yes, those places will become part of Somnoire, to merge with the other dreams.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Just think of it! They will be forever saved and remembered!

Ebony Gatekeeper: Not every dream holds the key to saving the world... Most are personal, trivial, even selfish.

Ebony Gatekeeper: People may eventually forget them, but Somnoire won't!

Ebony Gatekeeper: Tell me, have you ever erased another's dreams? Their memories?

Warning: Please leave the Somnoire. Data from the last phase will be deleted. Repeat, data from the last phase will be deleted.

Ebony Gatekeeper: For millennia, I've been doing this tirelessly.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Those dreams and I are no different in nature, yet I've done nothing but extinguish them.

Ebony Gatekeeper: I don't expect you to understand me. We're not in the same position.

Ebony Gatekeeper: Just know that even the great Rover cannot stop me now!

Rover: This realm is about to collapse...

Rover: I need to wrap this up quickly and get out of here.

Leave the Somnoire

Talk to the white cat in the carriage

Strange White Cat: It's you...

Strange White Cat: Black cat. He's formidable. My power. Limited again. Stop him, Dreamwalker...

Strange White Cat: Meow...

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Rover: (The cat's weaker than last time. What's worse, the Gatekeeper said the expansion is accelerating...)

Rover: (I have to stop it before it's too late...)

Complete Dreamscape Odyssey: Neverending Inferno

Defeat the enemies

You feel your body grow heavy, as if you're sinking beneath the water, and finally find yourself in an unfamiliar dream.

"Red Eagle": Yinlin, do you copy? Got an emergency for you to handle.

"Red Eagle": We need you to infiltrate the Blue Camel and get their latest transaction records.

"Red Eagle": Remember, don't get caught, or they'll destroy the evidence.

Yinlin: Infiltration... Hmm, I'll need to suit up right.

Yinlin: Gotta sever communications at their camp first. Can't have them calling for backup.

Turn off the communication device

Look for a set of Exile clothing

Yinlin: This outfit should do the trick.

Head to the Blue Camel's camp

Change into the Exile clothing

Yinlin: That's their hideout. Time to find a discreet spot to change.

You change to blend in with the other Blue Camel Exiles.

Locate the mission file

Yinlin: This is it... Need to send it back ASAP.

Yinlin: Better hang onto this outfit in case I run into the guards.

Leave the Blue Camel's camp

Patroller on Duty: Open it. We need to check what's inside. We've had reports about Exiles conducting illegal business recently.

Yinlin: I confess, sir. This is proof of their crimes...

Yinlin: I can't stand their dirty deeds anymore, so I'm taking this to the Public Security Bureau myself.

Yinlin: If you don't trust me, you can come along.

Patroller on Duty: Well... It's good that you want to bring them to justice.

Patroller on Duty: Alright, I'll escort her to the Bureau. The rest of you, resume your duties.

You are struck with a wave of dizziness as the Patroller's voice grows distant...

Yinlin: What happened... Huh? Why are they all lying on the ground?

Yinlin: No injuries. Looks like they just passed out.

Yinlin: They'll wake at any moment. I need to get the evidence back to him.

Yinlin: This place... something feels wrong. I need to be on my guard.

Deliver the file to "Red Eagle"

Talk to "Red Eagle"

"Red Eagle": I've told you before not to come barging in here.

"Red Eagle": You've been fooled! I never gave you such an order!

"Red Eagle": Can't you spot a fake transmission?

Yinlin: (Was the intel false, or did someone impersonate him when they contacted me?)

Yinlin: Blaming me won't make any difference. I need to get to the bottom of this.

Yinlin: Give me some time. I'll figure it out.

Find out the truth

Look for the source of the anomaly

Yinlin: Back at the Blue Camel’s camp again? This isn't right...

Confront the Dollmaker

Dollmaker: I've been waiting for you, Yinlin.

Yinlin: You! Why are you here?

Dollmaker: You were once part of the Séance Society, until you betrayed me...

Dollmaker: Ask any Patroller if they recognize you. They would only see you as a defector.

Dollmaker: You are no Patroller, Yinlin. You never will be.

Dollmaker: That's right, Yinlin. That's who you are...

Dollmaker: And you don't belong anywhere.

Dollmaker: No one will ever accept you or see your worth. You're nothing!

Yinlin: I'm... nobody...

Your thoughts drift back to before this quest began. The lines between memories, dreams, and reality blur together, making you forget that you've experienced all of this before.

Stop your past self

"Red Eagle": Yinlin, do you copy? Got an emergency for you to handle.

"Red Eagle": We need you to infiltrate the Blue Camel and get their latest transaction records.

"Red Eagle": Remember, don't get caught, or they'll destroy the evidence.

Yinlin: What is this? Time's rewound to the start of the mission?

Yinlin: That's... me.

Yinlin: No, I have to stop this. How can any of this be possible?

Just before you can stop yourself, a blade intercepts one of your filaments.

Rover: He's the mole in the Public Security Bureau.

Rover: No, you knew it all along. Just not in this place.

Rover: The mission was a success. You caught the mole and put an end to the Blue Camel's dealings.

Rover: No, you've always been cautious.

Rover: You're just too afraid of making mistakes, that's why you dream these things.

Rover: You've only ever had yourself to rely on, but still, you never waver.

Talk to the strange white cat

End the nightmare

Defeat the nightmares

Dollmaker: You're nothing, Yinlin!

Yinlin: Enough talking, Dollmaker. You've lost yourself.

Rover: Yinlin!

Rover: Yinlin!

Yinlin: Rover, you came because you were worried about me?

Rover: Let's take them down together.

Yinlin: Hehe, no rush. They'll be leaving soon.

Dollmaker: You betrayed the Patrollers. You betrayed me! Who will ever trust you after this?!

Yinlin: I know who I am. I have my own path to walk.

Leave the Somnoire

Talk to the white cat in the carriage

Strange White Cat: Power grows. Strong enough to fight him.

Strange White Cat: I'm no cat, you know...

Strange White Cat: Meow...

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Rover: (From the looks of it, I'm probably the only one who can enter the Somnoire as I please...)

Rover: (Besides that cat, the only other people here are the ones trapped in their dreams.)

Rover: (I will be the one to help them escape.)

Complete Dreamscape Odyssey: A Study in Snow

You feel your body grow heavy, as if you're sinking beneath the water, and finally find yourself in an unfamiliar dream.

Changli: ...Interesting.

Changli: It reminds me of the Hongzhen in my memories.

Investigate the area

Changli: In that year, a peculiar incident occurred.

Changli: A parent lost their only child, and despite extensive searches around Mt. Firmament, no trace of the missing boy was discovered.

Investigate farther ahead

Uneasy Father: We were having lunch together, just two days ago.

Uneasy Father: She said Jing was out playing with his friends... but he never came home.

Uneasy Father: I've been worried sick ever since, unable to eat or sleep... Jing, where are you now...

Talk to the Illusia

Desperate Mother: Jing had been increasingly withdrawn, preferring to stay home. He stopped playing with his friends.

Desperate Mother: But that day, he said he wanted to play with them. It seemed odd, so I asked those kids later, but none of them had seen Jing...

Desperate Mother: ... Oh, how can I go on without my Jing...

Talk to the strange white cat

Investigate farther ahead

Changli: Beyond the wolves' howls, there's another sound lurking in this storm.

Changli: Hehe, if you truly are the untamable beasts you claim to be, then why have you let yourself to be so easily at someone's disposal?

Defeat the enemies

Explore farther ahead

Investigate the cabinet

You cautiously inspect the wooden cabinet and discover something strange.

Changli: All of the boy's clothes since his infancy are neatly folded...

Changli: Except for... his pajamas.

Changli: Hmm... the board is set, but the final move is yet to be made.

Further investigate

Talk to the strange white cat

Defeat the enemies

Enter

Talk to the Illusia

Uneasy Father: Did you find Jing?

Uneasy Father: What?

Desperate Mother: W-what are you talking about? I don't understand...

Defeat the Fractsidus

Changli: Ah, a defensive move?

Changli: Not bad, but the game is already finished.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound erupts from the other side.

Talk to Rover and the strange white cat

Changli: No child would go out in thin pajamas in such freezing conditions.

Rover: Then why didn't you try to escape?

Changli: To win a game, you must first play it.

Changli: Besides... someone who knows they're dreaming is more dangerous, don't you think?

Rover: Making yourself part of the game... that's something you'd do.

Rover: I need you right now, Changli.

Enter

Defeat the enemies

Changli: Hehe, he's not the same as the one we faced before.

Rover: If they lost back then, they'll lose again today.

Changli: Don't worry. While my flames can't destroy this Somnoire, they're more than enough to handle these pests.

Leave the Somnoire

Talk to the white cat in the carriage

Strange White Cat: Meow! Haha!

Strange White Cat: Yeah, yeah, try to meow or speak three words yourself. You don't want to know how it feels...

Strange White Cat: Anyway, we're down to our last gateway.

Strange White Cat: Once you rescue the last person from their dream, I can finally balance my control over Somnoire with the Gatekeeper's.

Strange White Cat: "We" will finish this! Together!

Strange White Cat: Meow! Hey! Don't treat me like a cat!

Complete Dreamscape Odyssey: Blooming Reverie

Move forward

Camellya: Is this real or just another dream?

Camellya: Hehe... If it's a dream, it better be juicy!

Camellya: Huh... He's here too?

Camellya: Wait for me to catch you, Rover.

Approach Rover

Eliminate the enemies standing in your way

Camellya: Oh, you wanna play hide and seek?

Camellya: The tastiest meal is always the one you've worked hardest to catch.

Talk to the strange white cat

Continue looking for Rover

Go find Rover

Camellya: There you are.

Camellya: Quit the running and come play with me. Let's not waste our precious time.

Eliminate the enemies standing in your way

Camellya: Ugh, what a bother...

Camellya: Why does the Black Shores keep dumping these dull missions on me?

Camellya: ...This doesn't satisfy me at all!

Go find Rover

Eliminate the enemies standing in your way

Camellya: ...Hello? He disappeared again.

Camellya: Boring, boring, boring...

Camellya: ...I hate boring!

Look for Rover

Camellya: I live for a good thrill.

Camellya: But it's so hard to find one that meets my standards.

Camellya: Some have potential, but they're still too dull.

Camellya: Only you can really get my heart racing, Rover.

Defeat the enemy

You swing your final strike at the struggling enemy, but your blade cuts through nothing but air.

Camellya: ...You?

Camellya: No... Impossible.

Camellya: I remember the way you fought—your blade's strong enough to sever the air itself.

Camellya: Powerful, beautiful, intoxicating...

Camellya: Ah... My head... It hurts. No, that's not you!

Rover: Is that... Camellya? She needs help.

Rover: I need to go to her, quick.

Break through the blockages

Rover: Too slow...

Touch the white cat

Break through the blockages and reach Camellya

Rover: Gotta be faster...

Touch the white cat

Rescue Camellya

Eliminate the nightmares surrounding Camellya

Camellya: ...Hehe, I knew I was right.

Camellya: ...I know. After all, you're the one I've chosen, my beloved seed.

Camellya: Oh, is that an invitation? You do know how to please me.

Leave the Somnoire

Talk to the white cat in the carriage

Strange White Cat: Yes, finally we're here.

Strange White Cat: I and all those you helped in the Somnoire are prepared for the final battle.

Strange White Cat: Once you're set, we'll be ready to face the one responsible for all this.

Strange White Cat: Let's repair the Somnoire and shut down his mischief for good!

Strange White Cat: All set... It's time to fight!

Encore: Here we come, Big Bad Demon!

Yinlin: I'll give this show a grand finale.

Zhezhi: If I can help then, I'll... I'll do my best!

Changli: It's time to end this charade.

Camellya: Oh, to dance alongside you in battle... I can't wait any longer.

Strange White Cat: Now, give me your battle cry!

Lumi: We promise, we deliver!

Strange White Cat: Not that one. It should be "Let's go save the world again!"

Confront the Ebony Gatekeeper

Ebony Gatekeeper: Somnoire has tens of millions of gateways that lead to numerous realms... but it's still too small compared to Solaris.

Ebony Gatekeeper: I need more space to store these precious dreams and memories.

Just know that even the great Rover cannot stop me now!

Defeat the nightmare of the lake

Ebony Gatekeeper: You will never understand the meaning of dreams...

Encore: Warrior Encore, ready to attack!

Yinlin: Zapstring, it's our turn.

Rover: This power... I can feel everyone's support!

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Ebony Gatekeeper: Why do you resist? Everything you hold dear can remain in this dream forever!

Ebony Gatekeeper: Only by keeping them here can the dreams live on forever!

Changli: So, this is our opponent?

Zhezhi: Rover, I-I'll do my best!

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Ebony Gatekeeper: You are no longer a Dreamwalker. You are... an obstacle that must be removed!

Lumi: Hiya, Lumi's here!

Camellya: This fight... better not disappoint me!

Strange White Cat: Meow—

Ebony Gatekeeper: Foolish... You're doing this for nothing!

Enter the gateway and confront Ebony Gatekeeper

Talk to the white cat

Strange White Cat: Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him.

Strange White Cat: Hmm... If things get serious, I can call on you again, can't I?

Strange White Cat: Because you, or maybe your past self, told me to keep it hush-hush.

Strange White Cat: If I were to tell you why, well... that's already saying too much!

Strange White Cat: What I can tell you is, you're the Dreamwalker, the only one who can come and go in Somnoire as you please.

Strange White Cat: You've got control over me, this gateway, and that sneaky black cat.

Strange White Cat: Basically, you're the only one who can see this gateway and all the anomalies it causes...

Strange White Cat: This is what happens when Somnoire expands into reality.

Strange White Cat: The black cat turned off Somnoire's filters, so it started copying every dream in Solaris.

Strange White Cat: To store all those dreams, he opened more gateways that started to leech into reality.

Strange White Cat: The dreams you just went through are from folks who got stuck in Somnoire by accident.

Strange White Cat: But since you control these gateways, you can help them escape.

Strange White Cat: When they wake up, all they'll have is a vague feeling of what happened.

Strange White Cat: Just like a real dream, mmm?

Strange White Cat: I can finally go back through the gateway I came from, and you... It's time for you to wake up, meow.

Strange White Cat: Of course, silly! You didn't think that was all, did you?

Strange White Cat: The black cat might be nursing his boo-boos now, but he's not out of the game yet.

Strange White Cat: I'll find you if I need help, Dreamwalker.

Leave the train

Lumi: Maybe a bit, but you know what? My team always has my back, dream or not.

Lumi: Thank you, Rover.

Lumi: It was your support that kept me going.

Lumi: So come find me in reality! I'll be waitin' for you!

Yinlin: The crisis is over. Why are you still hanging around?

Yinlin: Outside, more dirt's getting swept under the rug.

Yinlin: I'm ready to get back. But there is still one thing that's nagging at me...

Yinlin: You. When I screwed up, you... had my back.

Yinlin: Heh, is that right? Prove it to me in the real world, then.

Encore: Of course they count! We are all brave warriors!

Encore: No problem!

Encore: Maybe the white cat can be the bad guy next time...

Zhezhi: Thanks for your help, Rover...

Zhezhi: I still find myself swayed by my doubts.

Zhezhi: Painting, for me, isn't just in the finished piece. It's the only place I can let my emotions out.

Zhezhi: When I worked on that Xiehua Village piece, I felt like I was capturing the very essence of life around me.

Zhezhi: Thanks to you, I felt bold enough to capture those fleeting moments.

Zhezhi: I really need to be truer to myself...

Zhezhi: Okay...

Zhezhi: I'll be waiting for you.

Changli: I realized this was a dream through careful observation. It's often that same keen observation that reveals the deepest truths.

Changli: Have you ever considered how someone with lost memories might confuse a dream with reality?

Changli: It's just a theory. I could be mistaken...

Changli: But when I found myself in Hongzhen in my dream, my mind was a blank slate.

Changli: I knew where I was, but I had no idea why and for what purpose.

Changli: Yes... I would advise you to pay close attention to the subtleties around you.

Changli: If you've learned something from this dream, then it wasn't for nothing.

Camellya: But I'm actually quite content here.

Camellya: Then why not stay a bit longer?

Camellya: Well, what a shame.

Camellya: But waking up isn't so terrible. After all, you never fail to keep things interesting in reality.

Pick up the abandoned package

Rover: Hmm? What's that over there next to the train?

Rover: "Delivered by Fulei"... This is the lost package. How did I not notice it before...

Rover: I should give it to Lumi.

You pick up the abandoned package.

Deliver the package to Lollo Logistics

Cultured Exile: It's already been three days and my package is still—

Lumi: Oh, oh my!

Lumi: This is your package, sir!

Cultured Exile: Huh? Let me check... Wait! Look at this, it's damaged!

Cultured Exile: Don't expect me to accept a damaged package! This is unacceptable!

Lumi: This is our fault... Please accept my sincere apologies. We will compensate you for your loss.

Cultured Exile: I don't want your compensation! I want my package! In one piece!

Cultured Exile: Do you have any idea how important this—

Tianhu: Ah, the Rover himself.

Cultured Exile: B-boss? Why are you here in person? I'm just...

Tianhu: Silence.

Tianhu: No need for compensation. The contents are still intact. We'll pay you the delivery fee.

Tianhu: I'm Tianhu, leader of the Cruising Drake.

Tianhu: The package is secure, and we won't give you any more hassle. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting to know you better.

Tianhu: Not in that way, of course. I heard you took down that beast at Norfall Barrens. The wilds have been quieter since then, which means more opportunities for folks like us.

Tianhu: We're in need of skilled individuals like yourself more than ever. You'd fit right in.

Tianhu: Think about joining us one day. The Cruising Drake always welcomes the best of the best.

Cultured Exile: Hey, wait up, Boss! Why do you always have to walk off like that after talking...

Tianhu: Shut it! It's about showing our style and drawing in new blood. Pipe down...

Lumi: Huh... Well, thank you so, so, so much for helping me find the lost package!

Lumi: Heh, that's er... interesting! Didn't know you had such an imagination!

Rover: (Just like what the white cat said. Only I can see these things...)

Lumi: By the way, you won't believe what happened last night!

Lumi: Can't quite remember the details... but it felt sweet!

Lumi: Haha, because I'm Lumi, Luminary of Logistics!

Lumi: Oh no, just got a rush order... Let me give you the payment first.

Lumi: Again, thanks a bunch for your help! If you ever swing by my hometown, Yuezhou, I'll treat you to some local delicacies!

Lumi's Terminal: We promise, we deliver! We promise, we deliver!

Lumi: Got it, got it! Sorry, gotta dash! Catch you later!

Lumi: Bye, Rover!

After bowing deeply, Lumi grabs a delivery crate and rushes out of the station.
