Mission Description

That Janus' Maze you fiddled in memory wasn't merely a door lock — it served other purposes for outsiders. Search the area. You might find something noteworthy...

"Sanctum of Prophecy" Janusopolis

(Talk to Priest Monnta)

Priest Monnta: You're late, acolyte. Quickly, take your position. Several lost-item requests are still waiting to be traced.

You must have mistaken me for someone else.

Priest Monnta: Someone else? Indeed, I've never seen you in the sanctum before... The temple is well-guarded. How did you manage to get in?

Alright, I'll just start working.

Priest Monnta: Wait, I've never seen you in the sanctum before... The temple is well-guarded. How did you manage to get in?

Priest Monnta: Or perhaps... it's a sign of permission granted by JanusPassage Titan. Tell me, do you know anything about the mechanism on this wall?

Played that game twice before.

Priest Monnta: The containment mechanism didn't stop you, and you even call the intricate extrapolating process a game... Perhaps you're exactly the person I've been looking for.

Isn't it... a door lock?

Priest Monnta: That's not something you should say lightly. Still, if you're privy to such details, perhaps you really are the one I need.

Priest Monnta: This device is called Janus' Maze, a divination tool of the Gate of InfinityPassage Titan. It can trace the location of anything. There's a backlog of requests this month, and the acolyte meant to handle them is nowhere to be found. And now you appear...

Got it. I'm on it.

Priest Monnta: That's some quick understanding. Don't you think this is the arrangement of the Fate Titans? Don't worry, you'll be well-compensated.

Priest Monnta: Now, let's give it a try. Stand in front of the Maze. I'll use a simple question as an example to get you familiar.

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us — "Where is the cookie I saved yesterday?"

The Maze groans deeply...

Priest Monnta: The Maze has been revealed. I'll leave it to you.

I have other things to do...

Priest Monnta: That's fine. If you ever feel interested, come back and find me.

Step Description

By a twist of fate, you're now an acolyte of the divination tool — Janus' Maze. Since you've started, might as well help the priests of the Temple of the Three Fates finish their backlog of "lost and found" assignments.

"Sanctum of Prophecy" Janusopolis

Speak with Priest Monnta

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: You've got talent. This is how the extrapolation works: Pose a question, deduce the path, and find the answer. My job is to transcribe the path into text on the slate. Let's see —

(Quick read)

I

Client: Priest Monnta

Item Sought: Leftover cookies from yesterday

Path Guidance: Can be found in Priest Hanna's belly

Priest Monnta: ...That grandma's cookies are a delicacy even the former Holy Maiden praised. I was saving them to enjoy later... Now I'll need to have a strong word with that priest.

Priest Monnta: Let's try another practice. This time, let's trace — "Where is the true acolyte?"

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us —

Priest Monnta: The Maze has been revealed. I'll leave it to you.

Pass the challenge of the Janus' Maze and complete the extrapolation

The Maze groans deeply...

Speak with Priest Monnta

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: Excellent, the extrapolation is complete. Let's see the result.

II

Client: Priest Monnta

Item Sought: Janus's acolyte who should be in the Archive of Prophecies

Maze Guidance: Can be found in Odysseos's banquet hall

Priest Monnta: ...JanusPassage Titan above! I declare the acolyte position vacant. Congratulations, you're now appointed.

Priest Monnta: You've mastered the mechanism of Janus' Maze. It's time to tackle real requests. Let me check...

Priest Monnta: From a follower named Siphone — "Where has my father's intelligence gone?"

That's quite abstract.

Could it be dementia...

Priest Monnta: ...Unfortunately, I know this follower. Her father is indeed elderly and mentally diminished. But if the Gate of InfinityPassage Titan wills it, recovering the father's intellect may not be impossible. Take your position, acolyte.

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us —

Priest Monnta: The Maze has been revealed. I'll leave it to you.

Pass the challenge of the Janus' Maze and complete the extrapolation

The Maze groans deeply...
(After solving the puzzle)

Speak with Priest Monnta

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: Well done, acolyte. This is your first request, a notable occasion. Let's see the transcription.

(Quick read)

III

Client: Disciple Siphone

Item Sought: Her father's intelligence

Path Guidance: It flew away

Priest Monnta: ...

It flew away...

Quite unhelpful.

Priest Monnta: This surely isn't the answer the client wants. Luckily, I've studied remedial methods for such cases. By refining the question and asking again, we may get a better result. Allow me —

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us — "Where has the knowledge in Siphone's father's mind flown to?"

Priest Monnta: All right, try again, acolyte. As the question deepens, the extrapolation becomes more complex, but I believe you can manage.

The Maze groans deeply...
(After solving the puzzle)

Speak with Priest Monnta

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: You've fully grasped it, acolyte. I can sense it in the transcription — this omen is clearer. Let's see.

IV

Client: Disciple Siphone

Item Sought: Where her father's intelligence flew to

Path Guidance: All over the world

Still not much better!

Scattered across the world...

Priest Monnta: It seems that even with JanusPassage Titan's power, what no longer exists cannot be entirely restored. Yet, I have a feeling this outcome may not be as bad as it seems.

Priest Monnta: Acolyte, take this slate to the client. She's just downstairs.

Take the extrapolation result to the client

(Talk to Priest Monnta again, optional): Priest Monnta: Acolyte, take this slate to the client. She's just downstairs.

(Talk to Believer Siphone): Believer Siphone: Hello, can I help you?; I've come to deliver Janus's prophecy.; Believer Siphone: Ah, you're the priest! My father has been senile for a long time now. Please, tell me, where can I find his wisdom?

(Quick read)

IV

Client: Disciple Siphone

Item Sought: Where her father's intelligence flew to

Path Guidance: All over the world

Believer Siphone: So... this is the answer. JanusPassage Titan, I offer you my gratitude.

Did you figure something out?

I don't quite get it...

Believer Siphone: Priest, you might not know this, but my father was a renowned lecturer who taught countless students before retiring due to poor health.

Believer Siphone: And JanusPassage Titan's response is undoubtedly reminding me that my father's wisdom has long taken root all over the world through his students... He was a great man.

Believer Siphone: In any case, praise JanusPassage Titan, and thank you for your efforts. I plan to contact his students — perhaps meeting some old faces might help improve his condition. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude.

Speak with Priest Monnta

(Talk to Priest Monnta)

Priest Monnta: Are you satisfied with the reward? Let's continue.

Priest Monnta: The next request comes from a city guard. The content is — "Where is my true love?"

Janus can find that?

Priest Monnta: To be honest, I'm not entirely confident about it either. Matters of love should ideally fall under the domain of Mnestia. Still, let's trust the great JanusPassage Titan and give it a try.

Did his lover go missing?

Priest Monnta: I don't think so... As far as I know, this guard has always been single. It seems they sought love from the wrong Titan and ended up at JanusPassage Titan's temple. No matter, let's trust in the great JanusPassage Titan and proceed.

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us —

Priest Monnta: The Maze has been revealed. Do your job, acolyte.

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: You're getting better at this, acolyte. Have you considered formally joining the temple? First, let's look at the results on the slate.

V

Client: Disciple Zelos

Item Sought: Place where true love dwells

Path Guidance: Among the streets of Janusopolis

Priest Monnta: As expected, we'll need to refine the question for a clearer answer. Great JanusPassage Titan, please grant our follower more detailed guidance —

Priest Monnta: I'll leave it to you, acolyte.

VI

Client: Disciple Zelos

Item Sought: Place where true love dwells

Path Guidance: In Janusopolis, at Dwelling 117

Priest Monnta: Such precise directions — surely this will satisfy the follower. The slate is yours to deliver.

Take the extrapolation result to the client

(Talk to Priest Monnta again, optional): Priest Monnta: Acolyte, please deliver the slate to that guard.

(Talk to Zelos): Zelos: Um, what brings you here?; I've come to deliver Janus's prophecy.; Zelos: Oh! Thank you, great one! This is the tenth time I've submitted a request, and finally, there's an answer! Please, let me receive the prophecy!

(Quick read)

VI

Client: Disciple Zelos

Item Sought: Place where true love dwells

Path Guidance: In Janusopolis, at Dwelling 117

Zelos: Room 177... No, no, that's my old friend's place. I've seen her face too often. There's no way it's her!

Zelos: But the Titan's prophecy cannot be wrong. Yet... she... What... What should I do?!

This devout guard is likely to stew over this for a while. They say interfering in love can get you kicked by a dromas, so let's quietly slip away.

Speak with Priest Monnta

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: Now for the final request in the backlog. This is the only request that the other priests abandoned due to insufficient pay and excessive complexity.; Priest Monnta: The request comes from a child — a devout follower named Pam — and it reads: "Where is my mother's soul?"; ...; Can we ever find a soul?; Priest Monnta: ...Take your position, acolyte.; Priest Monnta: Great JanusPassage Titan, embodiment of countless ways! We seek your guidance!; Priest Monnta: I'll leave it to you, acolyte.

VII

Client: Disciple Pam

Item Sought: Her mother's soul

Path Guidance: The Nether Realm

Priest Monnta: As expected... The nether realm — Thanatos' domain. A perfectly reasonable answer.

Should we just tell the child this?

It doesn't feel enough.

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us — "Where exactly is the nether realm"?

Priest Monnta: Forgive my presumption, acolyte. But I... I also wish to know. Your turn.

VIII

Client: Disciple Pam

Item Sought: The location of her mother's soul in the nether realm

Path Guidance: Walls made of fabric

Priest Monnta: The omen has changed, but what does it mean...?

A philosophical theory?

Mythological connections?

Priest Monnta: I think we need one final extrapolation. This will be the last attempt.

Priest Monnta: O Gate of InfinityPassage Titan, please guide us — "Where exactly is the nether realm where Pam's mother resides"?

Priest Monnta: Go, acolyte, and bring closure to this request.

IX

Client: Disciple Pam

Item Sought: The location of her mother's soul in the nether realm

Path Guidance: Walls made of fabric, suspended above the heart

Priest Monnta: Three attempts are the limit for a single question. No matter what, we've done our best.

Priest Monnta: Acolyte... Could you deliver this slate to the child? I'll wait here for you.

I'll be on my way then.

Priest Monnta: Oh, may the Passage guide us.

Take the extrapolation result to the client

(Talk to Priest Monnta again, optional): Priest Monnta: Acolyte, please deliver the slate to that child. May the Passage guide us.

(Talk to Pam): Pam: Who are you, (big brother/big sister)?; I've come to deliver Janus's prophecy.

(Quick read)

IX

Client: Disciple Pam

Item Sought: The location of her mother's soul in the nether realm

Path Guidance: Walls made of fabric, suspended above the heart

Pam: A cloth? A heart? I understand now! It's the amulet in my jacket pocket — the one Mom made for me! Is my mom's soul inside?

The child pulls out the pouch and begins to tear it apart. Before long, you both notice writing on the inner silk lining.

"Dear Pam: No matter how far apart we are, Mom will always be with you."

Pam: Waaa, waaa... *sobs* Waaaaaa...

Pam: Thank you, (big brother/big sister)! I'm going home to sew this amulet back together! Mom taught me how! See you next time!

Return to Priest Monnta and report what happened

(Talk to Priest Monnta): Priest Monnta: You're back... How did it go?; You recount the events to the priest...; Priest Monnta: Is that so... Well...; Priest Monnta: Acolyte, though I've previously recommended you for a position in the temple, truthfully, it's not a great career. A priest's life is dull and monotonous, often involving dealing with ignorance and corruption. I've no desire to linger here longer than necessary.; Priest Monnta: But... when interacting with people's faith, there are always a few moments that make me forget those frustrations and immerse myself in my duties. These requests were such moments.; Priest Monnta: Great work, acolyte. Now that all the backlog has been completed, go to the Fate Titans and extol your virtues — you've earned it.; Priest Monnta: Additionally, there are a few old scrolls left, mostly unidentified and masterless entries, offering no rewards and posing significant difficulty. Resolving them would truly be a priest's glory. If you're interested, come find me.; Priest Monnta: ...May your path be clear, acolyte. The Passage will always remain open to you.
