Through A Glass Darkly Summary

Follow Firefly to the Secret Spot

After talking with Firefly, you both head back to the Golden Hour to meet with the Astral Express Crew. However, you instead find Sampo while everyone is missing. Approach him and a cutscene will commence.

Leave the Suspicious Room

You'll wake up in a suspicious room after the cutscene with Sparkle. Go through the door and talk to Firefly, who is standing just outside the room. She'll come with you as you try to find an exit.

Find an Exit From the Mysterious Space

Follow Firefly's instructions and keep moving forward until you see a huge gap in the floor. Go through the left door and keep moving until you see a Bubble Charge mechanism. This allows you to do Dreamwalker puzzles.

Search For an Exit From the Room

Interact with the Bubble Charge mechanism and approach the dispersed bubble near the wall in front of you. You can use Bubble Charges you get to construct a Bubble Bridge, which allows you to traverse the wall. Use one Bubble charge on the wall and walk on it.

Use Other Bubble Charge on Next Wall


Move forward and fight or avoid the sitting Heartbreaker until you see another dispersed bubble near another wall. Use your last Bubble Charge on it and traverse it to get to the next area.

Continue Forward

In the next area, proceed forward and walk through the door to see yourself on the other side of the large gap in the floor earlier. Enter the double doors and go up the stairs until you see the giant fountain, where a small dialogue with Firefly will play.

Head to the Hall's Exit

To get to the exit, you need to do another Dreamwalker Puzzle. Down the stairs on the left, you'll see another wall you can traverse and another Bubble Charge mechanism. Interact with it to get your charges and approach the wall.

Use First Bubble Charge

You'll get three Bubble Charges this time. Use your first charge to traverse the wall. Move forward and you'll immediately see the next wall you need to traverse, so head on over.

Use Second Bubble Charge

Use your second Bubble Charge on the wall and traverse it. You'll see the huge fountain sideways and a Treasure Chest. Approach the fountain and a small dialogue with Firefly will commence. On your right, you will see the third wall you need to traverse.

Use Third Bubble Charge

Use your third Bubble Charge to go down the wall. Follow the path to see another Bubble Charge mechanism and some monsters. Fight the monsters first so you can interact with the mechanism freely.

Recharge Your Bubble Charges

Use the Bubble Charge mechanism to refresh your three charges, since you'll be needing them to traverse down walls next. Just in front, use a charge to go down the wall that leads to the next area.

Use Next Charge on the Right Wall

In the next area, you'll see another wall on the right you can traverse. Use your second Bubble Charge on it and head up to the next area. You'll see another Heartbreaker and a Treasure Chest.

Use Last Charge on the Left Wall

To the left of the Treasure Chest is another wall you can traverse, so use your last Bubble Charge on it and move up to the next area. Follow the path to and go up the stairs to see the exit door and another Treasure Chest.

Continue Forward Again

Head through the door and continue moving forward until you see a Dream Jigsaw puzzle. The pieces will move to another area, so you'll have to find them to complete the jigsaw puzzle.

Find the First Lost Piece

The first lost jigsaw piece is in one of the destructible purple soda bottles. Approach them and destroy them to get the first jigsaw piece. Go on and find the next jigsaw piece in another area.

Find the Second Lost Piece

The second lost jigsaw piece is held by an Origami Bird standing on a pile of books. Interact with it and you'll get the second lost jigsaw piece. Return to the Dream Jigsaw puzzle to complete it.

Solve the Dream Jigsaw Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, just rotate and fit in the pieces in the missing slots. The door will appear after you solve the jigsaw puzzle.

Open the Suspicious Chest

Go through the door and you'll be in a dark room with a lone chest in it. Open the chest and a small event will happen. The lights will all turn on and you have to try and leave the room.

Leave this Place Through Any Portal

When you try leaving the area through any door, you'll just end up returning to the same place over and over. The door you choose doesn't matter since every door brings you back to the same area. After doing this multiple times, a cutscene will play.

Fight the Something Unto Death Boss

After the cutscene, you will encounter Memory Zone Meme Something Unto Death and a battle will commence. This battle can be a tough one, but focus on the Sepulchers when they spawn to remove Morbid Dream inflicted by the monster.

A cutscene with Black Swan will soon play after. After the fight, you'll wake up and talk with Black Swan. This marks the end of the Through A Glass Darkly Mission!
