All Is Foretold Walkthrough
Return To The Base
Following the events from obtaining the Crimson Moon's marrow from the pocket space opened by Arlecchino, return to the base to reconvene with the rest of your group. Once inside, chat with everyone while waiting for Nefer and Lauma.
Talk to Nefer
After listening to Dainsleif about Rerir and the rest of the Five Sinners, immediately head over the Curatorium of Secrets and talk to Nefer. Then, follow Nefer to the ceremony, to officially start a deep-dive into Rerir's memories.
Start Looking Through the Files
Once the ceremony has begun and Nefer has teleported inside Rerir's brain, sit beside the office table and start looking through the files. These files contain the status of all the remaining members of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, which Nefer would have to go through to progress the quest.
Look For Vedrfolnir
Afterwards, stand up and look for Vedrfolnir, who's just outside, along the hallway. The Sinner in this cutscene will be just a voice, so simply exhaust the dialogue between Rerir and him to continue. Then, investigate the Black Mist in the Space, which contains another of Tholindis' memories.
Go to the Training Room
Next, go to the training room where you'll spot of a bunch of wooden figures that you have to knockdown by hitting them with attacks. These figures are pretty flimsy, but you'll have to hit them constantly, until the voice has completed talking to you. Afterwards, two Black Mists will appear again, so simply investigate them apiece to continue.
Return to the Office
Once completed, return to the office where another cutscene with Rerir and Tholindis plays out. The quest will ask you to head to the corridor, where Nefer will bring out a chess piece bearing the head of Thoth, which will overhaul the interface into a chess-like puzzle, that you have to solve to progress the quest.
Talk to Dainsleif
To talk to Dainsleif on the chessboard, you'll have to move your chess piece until it reaches the marker. To do this, each movement of the piece costs 1 action, which you can replenish by landing on square with the floating green numbers. These numbers will increase your current remaining action by its value, for you to move your piece.

| 2 |  Then, head upward three times. This resets your action value to 3. |
| 3 |  From the 3-point square, head right once, followed by one square down, then make your way to the bedside by passing the 2-point value square to talk to Dainsleif! |
Follow Dainsleif
To follow Dainsleif on the chessboard puzzle, you'll have to move your chess piece once more all across the board. This time, movement squares are laid out on the board, which enables you to move without expending your action value.

| 3 |  Afterwards, go two squares to the right, then another two downward. Close this off by going two squares to the right, right on top of the square with the 5-action point. |
| 4 |  Next, jump two squares to the right, followed by going up by three squares. Once you've landed on the square with the 3-action point, continue heading up three times to investigate the black mist on the board! |
Examine the Other Dark Fog
To examine the other dark fog, simply move the chess piece once more until you reach the quest marker. This round is a combination of enemies and movement squares, so follow along!
How to Examine the Other Dark Fog

| 3 |  Next is to go left once, then go three squares down while defeating the enemy blocking the way. Land on the 6-point square by heading left once. |
| 4 |  Afterwards, head to the left two times, followed by going down twice. You should've defeated an enemy blocking the way by doing so, as well as have landed on the 3-point square after. |
| 5 |  Lastly, go one square down, then make your way across the board by riding along the movement squares to examine the other dark fog! |
Head to the Palace
To head to the palace, move your chess piece across the board again until you reach the square where two enemies are blocking your way!
How to Head to the Palace
| Head to the Palace on the Board | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Go up once, then head left three times right on top of the 4-point square. |

| 3 |  Next, go up once, then head right til you land on the 5-point square. Continue heading right until you land on the second 5-point square, just past the 2-point enemy. |
| 4 |  From the 5-point square, go two squares down, followed by three to the right until you've landed on the 4-point square. |
| 5 |  Lastly, head two squares down, then another two to the right to head to the palace! |
Head to the Prison
To head to the prison, move your chess piece southward, until you spot Vedrfolnir's prison. This is the last chess board puzzle, so follow along!
How to Head to the Prison
| Head to the Prison on the Board | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  From the starting point, make your way to the 5-point square, right beside the enemy piece. |
| 2 |  Then, go 4 squares to the left, followed by moving up once. This replenishes your action point so you'll have enough to ride along the movement squares. From the 3-point square, head down and get off the movement squares, then make your way on top of the 4-point square. |
| 3 |  From the 4-point square, go to the right once, then make your way to the 6-point square. |
| 4 |  After defeating the enemy, go back to the 6-point square to replenish your action points, then head over the 4-point square by going five squares down, followed by a bump to the left. |
| 5 |  Lastly, from the 4-point square, go three squares down to head to the prison! |
Hurry to the Universitas Magistrorum
After concluding the cutscene with Vedrfolnir, hurry to the Universitas Magistrorum to go to where Tholindis is. Unfortunately, Tholindis had thrown herself into the gate the leads to the unknown, which sparked Rerir's official fall from grace.
Collect Your Thoughts
Once you and the crew have you realized you're trapped within Nefer's chess artifact, collect your thoughts to find a way out. This immediately ends this quest.
