Counterfeit Classics Walkthrough

Defeat the Opponents

Counterfeit Classics - Defeat the Opponents

As you approach the quest marker in Mahavaipulya Chamber, you will be welcomed by two Domain Keepers. Go ahead and defeat the Domain Keepers; a scene will start afterwards.

Look for Clues to Liberate the Paper People

Behind the paper, there is a restoration core that you can interact with. Go ahead and interact with it and place it on the red wall. Once the wall turns yellow, hold the skill button and drag Dex left or right, then release the button.

A new space will open, liberating the paper people. Speak with them, and be sure to claim the chest afterwards!

Head to the Library

Follow the quest marker in the center of Mahavaipulya Chamber to reach the library. You can travel between islands by transforming into a Plume Moth using the Harpasta nearby!

Use Dex’s Ability to Open the Door to the Library

Once on the island, get the restoration core, which is guarded by the Domain Keepers. Once you have it, proceed on the path above to reach the red wall. Place the restoration core and then use Dex to open the library.

Enter the Library

Proceed inside the library until you reach the quest marker. Be sure to pick up the chests you come across along the way!

Flip the Pages to Open the Passage

Once you've reached the wall, you'll need to remove it with Dex's ability. First, interact with the glowing wall, then drag the right blue arrow left to open up another space.

Find a Way to Obtain the Restoration Core

Make your way to the room with red cubes inside, but don't go all the way inside; instead, stand in front of the glowing door.

Use Dex's ability to flip through the pages of the glowing door, then drag the top arrow downwards to uncover a room containing a restoration core.

Insert the Restoration Core and Use Dex’s Ability to Restore the Space

Counterfeit Classics - Insert the Restoration Core and Use Dex’s Ability to Restore the Space
Pick up the restoration core and turn the pages back to the previous room. When done, insert the restoration core and use Dex's ability to open a new path.

Continue Exploring

Counterfeit Classics - Continue Exploring
Continue walking within the library until you reach the end of the corridor. Once you reach the end, turn right then left to find an elevator that will take you to the next floor. When you reach the next floor, simply move to the center of the room.

Find the Restoration Core

Enter the room with the half restoration core and follow the quest marker until you reach the next pages. Drag the bottom arrow halfway of the page to open the gate!
2
Continue until you reach a room with an energy terminal. Within the room, you will find another page to flip; simply drag the right arrow halfway across the page to reveal an energy storage.
3
Pick up the energy storage and put it next to the terminal. This should open the gate, with the restoration core inside.
4
Once you've picked up the core, the floor will open up, with Domain Keepers waiting beneath. Simply defeat them all and then speak with your companions.

Find the Other Half of the Restoration Core

Counterfeit Classics - Find the Other Half of the Restoration Core
Proceed into the hallway with the chest and up the stairs to another page. Interact with the page, then drag the arrow above down to obtain a full restoration core.

Retrieve the core, then insert it and use Dex's ability to open up new space. Continue inside the library until you trigger a dialogue scene.

Continue to Investigate the Library

Counterfeit Classics - Continue to Investigate the Library
Follow the quest marker inside the library until you reach the elevator, then take it to go to the next level. Then climb the stairs and defeat the Hilichurls before continuing inside to a room with a large book.

Enter the Book

Counterfeit Classics - Enter the Book
After the conversation, interact with the book to enter it. Inside the book, you will have a character that you can move around. There will be several fold points that you can use to create a path for your character.

Remember that fold points can only be dragged to their parallel point, and you can't fold a point that hits the character.

How to Find and Retrieve the Restoration Core
