Wriothesley's Story Quest Act 1 Walkthrough

An Opportunity for Rebirth

Objectives
1
Go to the Fortress of Meropide through the Dormitory Block, until you hear a voice of a person inside a box. Faissolle then tells you that he has lost his hat.
2
After offering to help him search for his hat, go down the Administrative Area and look for the hat near the lift. After seeing it's not there, look for the hat hear the railings next.
3
Seeing that the hat is nowhere to be found, go to the Rag and Bone Shop to purchase a hat for Faissolle. You're greeted by Chamboduc, Alvard's proxy. He then gives you the hat for free after talking to him.
4
Once you've gotten the hat from the shop, head up to the Dormitory Block, and give it to Faissolle. To his disappointment, however, it's not the same as his lost one.
5
Wriothesley then tells the group that he has found Faissolle's hat from somewhere. After giving him his lost hat, go to the Coupon Cafeteria at Wriothesley's behest.
6
While catching up with Wriothesley at the Coupon Cafeteria, Guelet suddenly appears carrying a box of contraband they're intercepted from the latest shipment of cargo. Guelet leaves promptly after completing her report.
7
While perusing the contents of the box, Wriothesley tells you to pick whichever you like as a gift from him. Paimon then picks up a dark gem that looks worth a ton of Mora.
8
After touching the dark gem, Paimon, Wriothesley, and the Traveler, all experienced similar bouts of flashbacks of unpleasant memories. Deciding to investigate about the gem further, the group heads over to the Beret Society's gathering place.

The Proud “Beret Society”

Objectives
1
Go to the Beret Society's gathering place just few steps away from the Coupon Cafeteria. There you'll meet Dourgie, the society's leader.
2
While Wriothesley is talking to Dourgie, talk to the other members of the Beret Society. All of them are just steps away from each other, and are all within the gathering place!
3
After talking to Rigas, Aucelet, and Boulmier, head back to Wriothesley and talk more about the dealings of the society with Dougier. In a few while, an anxious Faissolle walks past the gathering place.
4
Once you and Wriothesley have gotten away from the gathering place, he then tells you about his ongoing investigation of the society. At his behest, go back to the gathering place and talk again to the members.
5
Realizing that there's something off about the Society, head back to Wriothesley and share your thoughts to him. Afterwards, wait until nighttime (18:00 - 24:00), then head over to his office.
6
Once inside, talk more about the society and what his troops has found about them. Afterwards, wait with Wriothesley inside his office.
7
A knock then resonates inside, revealing an anxious person behind the door, named Avice. She then tells the group that someone is following her.
8
As Avice tells about her beloved Faissolle who was currently in danger, Dougier abruptly enters the office beckoning for Avice to stop. After a few while, both of them leaves the Duke's office.
9
Left with nothing, the Traveler thinks of where did Avice hide the secret. To know where Avide hid the secret, do the following:
  1. Select Avice's Head and interpret it.
  2. Then select Avice's Head again, and trigger an association with “Beret Society” Beret
  3. This should bring up the Lost Hair Clip option. Submit it as your conclusion to progress!
10
After hearing the Traveler's conclusion, Wriothesley tinkers with Avice's Hair Clip, which he then pokes straight through the dark gem.

Once you've concluded what Dourgie is doing with the members of the Beret Society, go back to the society's gathering place near the Coupon Cafeteria.
2
After arriving at the gathering place, several of Wriothesley's men have forestalled and taken some members of the society into custody, after an attempt to flee.
3
Then, look for more clues around the gathering place. Paimon calls you over once you're near enough, while you can simply walk towards Wriothesley to talk to him. Lastly, view the clue near the typewriter to progress!
4
After discussing the clues, Wriothesley's men reports back that the society's gathering place is empty, and has been deliberately tampered to make it look like it's being used.
5
Upon realizing this, go to the Production Zone to investigate further. Simply use the Waypoint to go there, and the quest should automatically continue as soon you've arrived at the floor!
6
Once on the Production Zone, investigate with Wriothesley, until you see the fallen guard with a member of the society. Go after them as soon as they bolt away!
7
After a quick interrogation of Wyler and Gouzien, head down to the Abandoned Production Zone to reach the real headquarters of the Beret Society.

Rotate the device twice to open a door on the left side of the room.
10
Continue exploring through the newly opened door, down several levels and past two groups of Hilichurls and Slimes.
11
You will encounter another room with a new set of mechanism puzzles. The door behind you will also close. Remove the purple Limiting Device on the central device to be able to use the Operating Device.

13
Defeat the Clockwork Meka to open the door in the next hallway and proceed to the quest cutscene.

15
Use the central Operating Device to rotate the leftmost mechanism once, and then select Exit Operations.
16
Remove the Limiting Device on the rightmost, blue mechanism and rotate both devices twice to open the door.
17
Go through the door to get back to the large room and platform where the first puzzle is waiting.
18
Install a Limiting Device on the remaining red mechanism as well as on the device directly across from it.
19
Rotate the remaining device twice to open the final, large door.

Head inside the door, where you will see the remaining members of the Beret Society gathered around the supposed punishment of Avice and Faissolle.
21
After a brief dialogue with Dourgie, defeat the Gardemek enemies, and conclude the cutscene with Wriothesley and the society's leader.
22
Once the events involving the Beret Society have concluded, and their dissolution has been set, wait for two days, and catch up with Wriothesley at the Coupon Cafeteria.
