Talk to Adler (Peaceful Morning)

Reach Eibon by teleporting to the nearest phone booth by Bluebeard Road.

Approach Adler by the stairs.

Wait for the guest to come in for a detailed discussion (Unexpected Visitor)

Simply wait for Nanally to walk into Eibon.

Talk to Jensen (Commission from Sterry)

Jensen comes in behind Nanally. Approach him once he stops walking.

Go to Sterry Express (Sterry’s Invitation)

Leave Eibon and head west to the northern end of Torchwood Avenue.

Approach the Sterry Express building.

Talk to Jenson (Host’s Hospitality)

Approach Jenson, who stands in the garage doorway.

Follow Jenson (Return Visit)

Head inside, following Jenson.

Wait for a little dialogue before a cutscene plays.

Chat with everyone (5) (Action Is Better Than Waiting)

Speak with all five of the people in the garage, located in these spots. There are dialogue options as part of these conversations, but the choices don’t affect the outcome.

Wait for the mysterious esper to arrive (All Waiting Will Eventually Be Answered)

Stand by Jenson for a few moments until a cutscene begins.

Return to Eibon Antique Shop (Time To Head Back!)

Use the phone booth by Eibon to get back to it quickly. Then, head inside.

Talk to Hotori (A Topic Just for Us)

Once inside, approach the front desk to trigger a cutscene.

A dialogue option appears here, but you can choose whichever option you want.

Talk to Jiuyuan (Promise with Sterry)

Make your way back to Sterry Express.

Approach Jiuyuan, who sits on her red car.

Take a ride with Jiuyuan to the destination (Moment of Action)

Interact with the car to get in.

Drive to the signing event (Road to the Signing Event)

Drive the car down the highway to the destination. Park in the space marked with yellow paint.

It’s worth knowing that if you decide to hop out of this car for any reason during this objective, then you need to find your own way to the destination. You can’t use this car for the rest of the trip.

Go to the signing event venue (Road to the Signing Event)

Get out of the car and take the stairs on the east side of the venue.

Before going up the rest of the way, go to your left and sync with the Wertheimer Tower. This unlocks the entire map for the Unheard Shores region.

At the top of the stairs, walk into the stage area.

Talk to the security guard (Plan A in Progress?)

Turn back around and approach the security guard on the east side of the venue entrance.

Go to the side door location (Plan B, Activate)

Go down the stairs to the east and make your way to the parking lot there.

Wait for Settyn to appear

This objective prompts when you reach the bottom of the stairs and a cutscene begins.

Approach Settyn and synchronize the invitation 100% (Real Rock vs. Fake Invitation Showdown)

You regain control on a motorcycle. Follow Settyn’s car.

You need to maintain close proximity to the car in order to sync information from Settyn. The range required is quite generous, and you know when it’s working by the yellow percentage gauge that appears in the middle of the screen. Just follow the car until the gauge reaches 100%.

Return to Sterry Express (Everything Is Under Control)

Return to Sterry Express by either driving or teleporting to a nearby phone booth.

Talk to Jenson

Enter the garage for this objective to prompt just before a cutscene begins.

Return to Eibon Antique Shop (Good News to Share!)

Head back to Eibon.

Talk to Hotori (Ask, Ask, Ask)

Head upstairs and approach Hotori in the common room.

Hotori lets you ask questions of her here. Ask whatever options you wish. However, you need to select “No more questions for now…” in order to progress the quest.

You will earn a mid-mission reward now:

Hunter Level EXP x1000, Annulith x120, Mind Shard – Zero, Elite Hunter Guide x15, Chaotic Dye x15, Fons x40k, Beetle Coin x100k.

Approach the entrance.

Meet up with everyone (Wait for the Echo)

Wait at the entrance until the objective changes.

Enter the Kape Grand Hotel (I’m Ready)

Wait for the Auction to Begin

Head over to the table where the group is seated.

See what Hotori is up to (The Temptation of Bacchus)

Approach the table to trigger a cutscene.

After the scene, you take control of Hotori in a bid duel.

Just keep selecting “Raise” and it always lands as a super effective hit.

After three rounds, select Fever.

Haniel’s discovery? (Time for Tea Break!)

Turn around and follow the Bell Boy that’s waving you down. It leads you to a bunch of pastries.

Illica’s discovery? (Time for Tea Break!)

Head back into the hall and find the Bell Boy standing by the bar. Interact with him to continue.

Talk to Jiuyuan (Nothing to Do at Halftime but Gossip)

Follow Nantani (Banquet’s Prelude)

Interact with the doors ahead of you.

Defeat The Never-ending Arachne (Dance Until Dawn)

Before fighting the level 45 Arachne, you need to contend with five level 35 Oddities.

These Oddities do two things you must avoid. First, they send out red pulses on the floor that deal damage and stagger you. You can either dodge or jump over them. Then, they do area-of-effect air bursts. Dodge through those as well. This part is frustrating simply because of the volume of animations to avoid on the screen at once. Otherwise, once they stop spamming those attacks, take them out one by one.

After that, Arachne steps off the stage. It occasionally shoots lasers at you that you must dodge. Then, it does sweeping attacks. It also has an attack you can parry with once the yellow prompt appears.

At about halfway through its health, it triggers a series of lasers that shoot in different directions. Move around to avoid them. It also does a version of it shortly after that with the ground pulses from earlier.

At about a third of its health remaining, a cutscene plays where she takes control of the Appraiser. After that, her health bar disappears.

The lights go out and spotlights show up on the dance floor. Stand in the spotlights or the darkness quickly slows you down, giving Arachne free reign to do damage to you.

After a little preamble, Arachne executes a parry attack. Use this opportunity to deal damage to her. If you miss the parry, you can still do some damage to her before she disappears again.
