Labyrinth Commission
Special Event
Labyrinth Commission
Story Description: Shepherd has returned with a special commission tied to the founding master of Proxies. You need to venture into the Papago Hollow and search for the Labyrinth Carrot left behind by Joyous.
- Shepherd: Phaethon, my old friends! Long time no see! Uncle Shepherd is back with more good news today!
Finally decided to get a membership card?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What, finally decided to get a membership card with us?
- Shepherd: Uh, no... I'm a middleman, so I'm here because I've got a commission for you, obviously! Since you two are Proxies, how would you like some intel on your great predecessor?
Predecessor?
Joyous?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (You mean Joyous? The ace of the Void Hunter Investigator's Guild?You mean Joyous? The ace of the Void Hunter Investigator's Guild? /
You mean... Joyous? The Void Hunter pioneer of Proxies?You mean... Joyous? The Void Hunter pioneer of Proxies? Tooltip for You mean... Joyous? The Void Hunter pioneer of Proxies?ⓘ) - Shepherd: That's right! As everyone knows, the Divine Maze, Papago Hollow, has insane Ether properties. Observing it is hard enough, let alone making a Carrot.
- Shepherd: And legend has it Joyous made it through Papago Hollow alone and came back with something special: an artifact that can navigate that bizarre labyrinth like it's nothing!
- (SiblingSibling): (I know! The Labyrinth Carrot!I know! The Labyrinth Carrot! /
You mean Joyous's Labyrinth Carrot?You mean Joyous's Labyrinth Carrot?) - Shepherd: The famous Phaethon really does know everything! Now that's why I like working with pros!
Labyrinth Carrot?
What's that?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Um... Could someone explain to the other, much less famous Phaethon what this Labyrinth Carrot is?
- Fairy: Retrieving HIA internal files: Labyrinth Carrot. A special device once carried by Joyous. It can calculate routes through Papago Hollow without Rosetta Data.
- (SiblingSibling): Wait, didn't the HIA (saysay /
announceannounce) it disappeared along with Joyous? - Shepherd: You actually trust what the HIA said? You would be better off trusting me! According to my intel, the Labyrinth Carrot is just lying somewhere in Papago Hollow. All you have to do is bring it back!
- Shepherd: The client also gave us its approximate location and offered a very special reward. Though, for Dennies they're only covering basic travel expenses...
- (SiblingSibling): Eous, see him out.
- Eous: Nhe-nha, en na! (Home! Home!)
- Shepherd: Hold on, hold on, wait! There is a but! A very important but!
- Shepherd: The "but" is, once you find the Labyrinth Carrot, you can keep it as your reward. My client only needs a copy of the analysis data.
No way.
This sounds like a trap.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): They're offering us such a precious device from Joyous? (That's almost too tempting... This sounds like a trap...That's almost too tempting... This sounds like a trap... /
Sounds like a trap...Sounds like a trap...) - (SiblingSibling): (So true!So true! /
That's a reasonable suspicion.That's a reasonable suspicion.) HAND sent out a warning bulletin (thatthat / stating that:stating that:) dangerous, sound-wave-like Ether was detected inside Papago Hollow. Without special protective equipment, even Bangboo can be (affected...affected... / affected.affected.) - Shepherd: Relax! When have I ever done you dirty? I managed to get you intel on your great predecessor's Carrot, so you can bet I came prepared with protective gear too.
- Shepherd opens the case behind him. Inside are six devices: four large and two small. The smaller ones are clearly gear for Bangboo.
- Shepherd: The latest product from Porcelumex, exclusive gear for the HIA and HAND: the Ether silencer. Active noise cancellation, a high-purity Porcelume inner layer, and 200 hours of battery life. Rock-solid protection!
- (SiblingSibling): Sounds impressive... but why does it look (secondhand?secondhand? /
used?used?) (There'sThere's / There isThere is) even an investigator's name (engraved:engraved: / engraved on it:engraved on it:) "S. Herd"? And (thisthis / thethe) Bangboo-sized one (hashas / is markedis marked) "Sheeppy"... - Shepherd: Uh, well... Business is tough these days, and good intel is even tougher to come by. A man's gotta do everything himself... Considering how hard I worked to get all this gear, surely you'll take the commission, right?
We'll take the commission.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Fine. Since it has to do with Joyous, we'll take the commission. Eous, check your battery. We're heading out.
- Eous: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne? (Huh? Master? Weren't we going out to buy me new batteries today?)
- Eous: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (Shepherd tricked Master away! You meanie!)
- Shepherd: Aw, come on, little Eous. Here, have some Dennies as an advance on the commission, okay?
- Eous: Ehn... ehn-ne... (Mm... okay...)
- Shepherd: Then it's a deal, Phaethon, old friends! When you hand over the data, please return the equipment too. The HIA is pretty strict with its equipment inventory...
- Shepherd hums a little tune as he leaves. Meanwhile, (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) begins contacting available Agents, preparing to investigate the Papago Hollow's Divine Maze.
- (Interact with the HDD)
- (SiblingSibling): This commission arrived on short notice, and we have yet to find an available Agent... I may have to trouble you and Pyrois with it for now.
- (SiblingSibling): Once you're ready, (fire upfire up /
startstart) the HDD! I'll use it to remotely connect to Eous and back you up.
Let's go! Into Papago!
Hold up, let me get ready real quick.
- (Enter Papago Hollow)
Labyrinth Illusion
Special Event
Labyrinth Illusion
Story Description: Upon entering Papago, you encounter the familiar Janus Quarter. It turns out that the special Ether within Papago can extract the mental memories of those who enter and mimic the corresponding space.
- (SiblingSibling): Wait... Huh? Is this... Janus Quarter?
- Fairy: My apologies, Master. Second Assistant appears to have failed to make proper preparations. How embarrassing.
- Fairy: According to investigation data released by HAND, the special Ether sound waves inside Papago Hollow can extract entrants' mental data and use it to generate illusions.
- (SiblingSibling): (That's not true! I did my homework! Wise, I've already marked the coordinates Shepherd gave us on the map. The Labyrinth Carrot should be somewhere up ahead. We better check every possible area.That's not true! I did my homework! Wise, I've already marked the coordinates Shepherd gave us on the map. The Labyrinth Carrot should be somewhere up ahead.

Thanks for the explanation, First Assistant... Belle, I've marked Shepherd's coordinates on the map. The Labyrinth Carrot should be somewhere ahead. Let's search all possible areas.Thanks for the explanation, First Assistant... Belle, I've marked Shepherd's coordinates on the map. The Labyrinth Carrot should be somewhere ahead. Let's search all possible areas.)
Let's go!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, let's move. Keep an eye out for anything that looks like a chip along the way. If Shepherd's intel is right, it should look similar to a regular Carrot.
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Wait. Up ahead...Wait. Up ahead... /
Wait, up ahead...Wait, up ahead...) are those Hollow Raiders?
- (Approach the Hollow Raiders)
- Anxious Hollow Raider: Yo, boss, something's off about this thing... It's giving me seriously weird vibes. Maybe we should bounce?
- Fierce Hollow Raider: Bounce?! No way! I dropped so much cash on protective equipment, and now you want me to walk away?! I'd be taking a massive loss...
- Fierce Hollow Raider: Let me break it down for you — every heist has three phases: search, fight, and get away. During the search phase, just focus on finding the loot! Don't overthink it.
Sorry to bother you.
What are you guys looking for?- Anxious Hollow Raider: Aaaaaah! Where did you come from?! You scared me half to death!
- Fierce Hollow Raider: Don't get spooked — they're clearly here to steal our kill! To arms!
- (Ongoing)
- Anxious Hollow Raider: Hey boss, what phase are we in now? Searching, combat, or extraction?
- Fierce Hollow Raider: Is that not obvious?! The combat phase!

- (Interact with the Mechanical Strongbox)
- (Tips)
- Special Supply found: Blade of the Other!
- A [Blade of the Other] unlocks a special ability for [Pyrois].
- Once equipped, the blade can be used inside the Hollow.
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Is this...Is this... /
This is...This is...) a sword hilt? It doesn't look anything like a Labyrinth Carrot... - Fairy: Analysis: This is a special Porcelloy product, capable of controlling Ether.
- Fairy: I suggest equipping it as a precaution.
- (Approach the area)
- (Displays the Alter Skill: Phase Dash and Alter Skill: Powerful Slash tutorials)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): After equipping the sword hilt, I can feel (aa /

- Fairy: Speculation: This illusion was likely extracted from the memories of an unknown visitor.
- (Ongoing)
- Eous: En-nhe-na! (A newsstand, Master! There's scratch cards!)
- (Interact with the Handbag)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Do they even have scratch cards in the Papago Hollow?)
(Scratch open a crack and take a look.)
(Scratch 'em all off — go hard!)- You scratch the coating off and get a pattern of colorful stripes you've never seen before. After flipping it over a few times, sizing up the thickness and feel... you think this thing's way more like an access card than anything else...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Wait, this is a... electronic key card? Whatever, I'll just pocket it for now...)
- (Ongoing)
- Fairy: Discovered Papago's exclusive "Random Play".

Cut In
Special Event
Cut In
Story Description: Shortly upon retrieving the Labyrinth Carrot, HAND and White Star Institute operatives show up to intercept it. In the middle of the standoff, an Ether Activity detection device suddenly triggers an alarm.
- You link the Labyrinth Carrot to Eous to begin analysis...
- (SiblingSibling): Based on the analysis, this thing periodically sends out Ether energy waves to scan its surroundings, (kinda like a sonar device...kinda like a sonar device... /
like a sonar...like a sonar...) No wonder it can navigate without relying on Rosetta Data... - (SiblingSibling): It may only be a fragment of the Labyrinth Carrot, but it can already scan for nearby spatial fissures with ease... Wait, this fissure's waveform is so stable. It almost feels artificial...
Joyous!
That's terrifying...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's Joyous for you... (Incredible...Incredible... /
Absolutely insane...Absolutely insane...) - Bringing the Labyrinth Carrot downstairs, you're about to start navigating a path to a fissure out of the Hollow when you hear footsteps from behind.
- Ray: I'm sorry, but unfortunately, I can't allow you to take that...
- Nanson: Allow me to handle this, Ray. I didn't expect to meet our Special Guide here again, (Mr. Wise.Mr. Wise. /
Miss Belle.Miss Belle.) It seems we are both after the same thing: the Labyrinth Carrot... - (SiblingSibling): (Whispering) (Not good...Not good... /
Oh no...Oh no...) It's HAND and the White Star Institute... - Nanson: Please do not worry. We have no intention of taking it by force. I simply hope you understand that this is valuable equipment left behind by Mr. Joyous, and that the HSO is in the best position to realize its full potential.
- Nanson: As the head of intelligence for Hollow Special Operations Section 2, as well as the Deputy Commander of this search operation, I would like to hire you once again as our Special Guide...
(Politely decline)- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Er... Sorry, I can't really accept your offer...
- Nanson: I understand you have concerns. However, by HSO's usual standards, the commission fee would be quite generous. Together with the remaining payment from your previous commission, a rough estimate would come to 600,000 Dennies...
(Keep politely declining)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's not about the Dennies. It's just that I've already accepted someone else's commission. It doesn't feel right if I just handed it to you...
(That's a lot of Dennies... hard to turn down)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): On second thought, maybe we can work something out. After all, my client only wants a copy of the analysis data...
- (SiblingSibling): (Hey hey, hold your horses, Wise!Hey hey, hold your horses, Wise! /
Calm down, Belle!Calm down, Belle!) I know the electric bills have been piling up lately, and (money's tight,money's tight, / we need the money,we need the money,) but we still need to talk to Shepherd before handing anything (over, right?over, right? / over!over!) We'll ruin our reputation like this!
- Nanson: We'll also ensure you receive a fair share from any future research profits. Considering that lower-tier research projects on similar topics have already generated hundreds of millions in Dennies, the returns would be substantial.
(Stand your ground)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, I still (need to discuss itneed to discuss it /
have to talk it overhave to talk it over) with my client before making a decision...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, I still (need to discuss itneed to discuss it /
(Give in to the Dennies)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... HSO's research team really would make better use of such a valuable device. Mr. Nanson, I have to admit, you make a rather convincing argument!
- (SiblingSibling): Snap out of it, (Wise!Wise! /
Belle!Belle!) (Seriously, you're calling him "mister" all of a sudden?!Seriously, you're calling him "mister" all of a sudden?! / What's with the sudden change of tone?What's with the sudden change of tone?) And it wasn't his argument that was convincing; it was his (Dennies! The Dennies!Dennies! The Dennies! / Dennies!Dennies!)
(Sorry, sorry)
(Almost lost to the power of cash)- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Whispering) Sorry, sorry. The moment he mentioned hundreds of millions of Dennies, I lost control of my words...
- Ray: Everyone, this area is unstable. I suggest we leave the Hollow and continue this discussion outside. I believe Miss Yanagi will have a good solution... Wait, what...
- As the negotiation continues, Ray's portable device suddenly starts beeping...
- Nanson: One signal indicates some activity, two — significant activity. Three is an intense reading, and four... Is this...?
- Ray: This is bad. Prepare to evacuate, Everyone. Something big is coming, and I don't think we can handle it.
- (Displays the The Hound - Ulidim tutorial)
- (Ongoing)
- Ray: Isn't this the part where a sword-wielding Void Hunter swoops in to save us?
- Nanson: Quit the wishful thinking and focus on finding a spatial fissure so we can lose it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Labyrinth Carrot has detected a fissure straight (ahead. Keep moving!ahead. Keep moving! /
ahead! Don't stop!ahead! Don't stop!)
- Ray: Don't stop! Keep moving!
- (Approach the fissure, ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The fissure is just (ahead!ahead! /
ahead of us!ahead of us!)
Save Eous
Special Event
Save Eous
Story Description: While the group is attempting to escape the special Ethereal, Eous is unfortunately caught. The mysterious hound-like Ethereal grabs Eous and vanishes into the fissure behind it...
- File:(Operation Bagel) Labyrinth Commission Cutscene Quest Still 01.png
- Nanson: Everyone, watch out!
- Eous: Ehn-ne... (Aahhh! Master...)
- Eous: Ehn-ne-ne! (H—Help!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Eous!
- Your hand is just short of catching Eous' outstretched arm when the strange hound-like Ethereal disappears with him into a fissure behind it...
Regroup
Special Event
Regroup
Story Description: Eous being kidnapped and taken away is a hard pill to swallow. After taking a moment to collect themselves, the group agrees that the best move is to temporarily pull back from the Hollow through the fissure and figure out the next steps from there.
- Ray: It just... vanished? Was that an Ethereal capable of manipulating spatial fissures?
(Say you need to go find Eous)- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Eous! Eous!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (No.No. /
I gotta go back.I gotta go back.) I have to save him! - Nanson: Please wait, (Mr. Wise.Mr. Wise. /
Miss Belle.Miss Belle.) Our current priority is to evacuate and request backup. Rescuing Eous and recovering the Labyrinth Carrot will require considerable technical support... - Ray: Right, and we can commandeer equipment from the Institute or HAND to locate Eous later.
(Force yourself to stay calm)- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, (I—I need a moment...I—I need a moment... /
let me just...let me just...) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): You're right. Let's (leave Papago Hollowleave Papago Hollow /
get out of hereget out of here) first. I'll need (BelleBelle / WiseWise) and the others' help too to find Eous. - After calming yourself, you enter the fissure behind you with Nanson and Ray.
Secret Research Station
Special Event
Secret Research Station
Story Description: The fissure leads everyone to a mysterious research station, whose master control construct suggests it can try to restore the hub to search for Eous. Meanwhile, Nanson departs temporarily to seek assistance from HAND.
- Nanson: Hold on. I am Nanson, Hollow Special Operations Section 2, head of intelligence. Here are my credentials. These are my colleagues, Ray and (Wise.Wise. /
Belle.Belle.) - ???: Re-authenticating. Credentials confirmed. Alert status deactivated...
- ???: Apologies, Mr. Nanson. It seems its long hibernation is negatively affecting our system's judgment.
- ???: Welcome to Omond Research Station. This is the core site of Operation Bagel. I am D. Ata, the station's master control construct.
- Nanson: Come again? I don't recall any organization running an operation by that name. Nor have I heard of this... Omond Research Station.
- D. Ata: Research designation: Operation Bagel. Research institution: Helios Academy. Database offline. Unable to verify naming rationale. Possibility one: The initiator may have enjoyed bagels.
- D. Ata: Possibility 2: The research station's Porcelloy Hub suppresses and blocks Ether, creating a cavity zone. Viewed from above, it forms a concentric circle with the Hollow, resembling a bagel.
- Nanson: Helios Academy... Then it's most likely a very old project. No wonder the name doesn't ring a bell.
- Ray: So we're currently at the center of Papago Hollow? And that device in the middle can suppress Ether, creating an isolated cavity inside the Hollow?
- D. Ata: Correct. The Porcelloy Hub uses the Labyrinth Carrot and the properties of Porcelume alloy to suppress and block the Ether sound waves in Papago Hollow.
- D. Ata: It can also connect to anchors deployed throughout Papago Hollow to monitor conditions inside the Hollow.
It can monitor the Hollow?
Can it help me search for Eous?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): If this hub can be used to monitor the Hollow, could it help us track down my Bangboo? He was attacked by an Ethereal and pulled into a special fissure when we came into the Hollow.
- D. Ata: My apologies. Your request cannot be executed. The hub remains in standby mode, and its monitoring functions remain inactive. The special computational Bangboo capable of taking the hub out of standby, Boorilliant, has been dormant for too long and can no longer boot up normally...
- D. Ata: If required, I can retrieve Boorilliant from the stasis chamber and attempt repairs.
- Nanson: I see... Is there any way for us to contact the outside?
- D. Ata: My apologies. Remote connection functionality has also failed to activate. However, a link has been established with an anchor near the Hollow's edge. You can leave the Hollow through the corresponding small anchored fissure.
- Nanson: Then let's leave and get reinforcements first. We can return and continue the search afterward.
(Express desire to stay)- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, I want to check on Boorilliant first and try to restore the hub's monitoring function. Every extra second Eous is out there puts him in greater danger.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Mr. Nanson, once you're out there, please help me contact my (sister, Belle,sister, Belle, /
brother, Wise,brother, Wise,) and let (herher / himhim) know the situation. - Ray: Hmm. I would like to stay and help repair Boorilliant too. Besides, this research station has some impressive tech. I'd like to do a bit of investigating...
- Nanson: Very well then... I'll be back as soon as possible. You two stay safe.
- Following D. Ata's instructions, Nanson leaves the research station. After a bit of setup, D. Ata successfully retrieves Boorilliant's chassis.
