An Odd Textual Mystery Walkthrough

Go to the Akademiya

Go to the Akademiya at the suggestion of Collei back in the Kingdom of Breezes and Bells. Inside, you'll see Faruzan looking preoccupied by something else. Talk to her.

Search for clues nearby

After hearing the story about the conspiracy about the book, Reasoning Knows Not Time of Day, but Suspense Always Follows a Blizzard, search for clues nearby. Walk towards the entrance to the House of Daena, continue walking until you see a familiar face.

Talk to Layla

Upon seeing her, talk to Layla about the mysteries surrounding the book. She'll tell you that Kaveh was also interested with the book, and was found to have been searching for the marked-up copy. Once you're done talking to her, find Kaveh, who's inside his house at Treasures Street.

Go to Treasures Street

After bumping into Alhaitham, and talking to Kaveh, tread down the road that leads to the level just below their house, and along the way you'll run into Dehya browsing the goods of a peddler. Tell her about the book you're currently investigating, then talk to Kaveh who was just panting from running after you.

Talk to Tighnari

At Kaveh's suggestion, talk to Tighnari at Gandharva Ville, where he'll tell you that he has also encircled names on the book along with Kaveh's initial mark ups.

Go to Treasures Street

Go to Treasures Back, but this time use the Teleport Waypoint near Lambad's Tavern, and head to Puspa Cafe, and talk to Dehya and Candace about the book. Afterwards, go to the House of Daena to gather more clues!

Go to the Palace of Alcazarzaray

Go to the Palace of Alcazarzaray after talking to Nahida back at the House of Daena, and head towards Cyno, Sethos and Dori, who are all coincidentally discussing about the book. Once you've exhausted all their dialogues, return to the House of Daena, and relay to Kaveh everything you know so far.

Catch up to Kaveh as he leaves

After buying the marked up book, catch up to Kaveh as he leaves, and watch his conversation with Alhaitham to conlude the quest!
