Secrets of the Boneyard: A Gameplay Guide

The Secrets of the Souls

The Boneyard, where souls join the cycle of reincarnation, holds countless tales of souls that have yet to fade...

Listen carefully to their whispers—ease their sorrow and confusion, and guide them once more into the tide of rebirth.

Soulbound Secrets I: Soulrift Remedy

Gentle melodies carry the warmth of distant shores, protecting souls from suffering.

Soul Ocarina: A healing instrument. The Parksolians can play the Soul Ocarina to perform healing and to ferry souls.

In the Boneyard, Nikki can use the Soul Ocarina to enter the Soul Realm and heal Parksolians affected by Soulrift.

♦ Obtain the Soul Ocarina by progressing through the main story quest [Where All Souls Return].

[Important Notice] Follow these steps when healing Parksolians:

Step 1: Play the Soul Ocarina to enter the Parksolian's Soul Realm and help stabilize their soul as the Soulrift subsides.

Step 2: Purify any Esselings that appear to interfere until the Parksolian's soul stabilizes.

Step 3: Play the Soul Ocarina again to enter Soulglow form and delve deeper into the Soul Realm. In this state, collect all memory fragments within the Soul Realm, then guide the Soulglow back to the Parksolian to complete the healing.

Nikki: The Parksolians in critical condition must be in great pain...

Secrets of the Souls II: Ferry of Souls

Listen to the soft whispers of drifting souls, and guide them toward the path of reincarnation.

The Boneyard is filled with lingering souls. Approach a lost soul or use Momo's Camera to reveal its true form. Once revealed, play the Soul Ocarina near the soul to enter the Soul Realm and guide it onward.

[Tales of the Souls]

• A little cat spirit that refuses to leave only wishes to play with its yarn ball one last time. Help fulfill its wish by guiding the ball into the glowing ring.

• A lost insect spirit, longing to grow bigger and stronger, needs help finding nourishment. Guide it to consume food and help it grow.

• A traveler's soul has lost its way. Help it find the Heart Gate and guide it into the next life.

Heal Parksolians affected by Soulrift and help lingering souls to earn Diamonds and growth materials. On top of that, you can also participate in the events [Soothing Songs] and [Ethereal Return] during Version 2.5 to claim limited-time Diamond rewards in the Events interface.

The Secrets of Dragonbone

Approach the scattered remnants within the dragonbone ruins and summon the spirit that has fallen silent through time.

[Dragonbone Master Outfit: Luster Covenant] — a revelation born from the Heart of Infinity.

With the Dragonbone Master's abilities, let broken ribs form bridges, collapsed spines rise into stairways, and weave the bones together to reveal the origin of this land.

Secrets of Dragonbone I: Dragonbone Restoration

There is a kind of special dragonbone in the Boneyard, marked with faint golden imprints. Search for the scattered dragonbone fragments nearby, use the Dragonbone Master's abilities to carry them, and complete the reconstruction to uncover the forgotten past of this land.

[A Little Secret Not Easily Shared]: After assembling the dragonbones, take a closer look at your surroundings... you might notice things have changed a little~

Secrets of Dragonbone II: Dragonbone Puzzle

The murals scattered across the Boneyard carry memories of long ago, while also leaving behind unresolved mysteries. Try using the Dragonbone Master's abilities to move the stone slabs, restore the murals to their original form, and uncover the secrets hidden behind them!

[!!] Behind the mural, there's still... (visible only to the destined)

Momo: Still what? What were you going to say? Nikki, let's go take a look!

Secrets of Dragonbone III: Uses of Dragonbone

Beyond this, the dragonbones in the Boneyard have many unexpected uses as well~ Make full use of the Dragonbone Master's ability and explore freely!

[Restoring Whimstars]

Dragonbones can act like a magnet, attracting Lumies carrying fragments of Whimstars. Gather all the fragments together to form a complete Whimstar!

[Dragonbones Shrouded in Light]

When you encounter this type of dragonbone, give it a good shake!

[Climbing Dragonbones]

In areas where the terrain is too high, make good use of nearby dragonbones. Join or place them in the right positions, and you can use them to reach higher ground.

[Volatile Dragonbones]

Momo: Nikki, be careful when manipulating the dragonbones—whoa!

Nikki: Momo, look out! I didn't expect the dragonbones to be this volatile... nearby pots and crates were destroyed in an instant...

The Secrets of the Fragments

A collection of secret fragments about the Boneyard has been compiled. Decipher them carefully and try to piece together a small part of the Boneyard's history.

Secrets of the Fragments I: Collecting Crystals of Blessing

Lumies in the Breeze

Gently brush against the lingering Soultrace left by the Lumies, and soothe the panic of those who have lost their way. Guide the Lumies by drawing those of the same color together, helping them remain calm and return to the Great Lumie Tree!

[! Reminder!] Be careful! Corrupted Lumies can affect others nearby! If you gather 3 or more corrupted Lumies, you can purify them!

Hollowbreath Passage

Follow the mysterious echoes deeper into the Hollowbreath Passage. Windbones roll endlessly within, blocking the path of intruders. Search through the winding corridors for scattered Crystals of Blessing that have drifted into the mortal realm, and complete the collection.

Nikki (thinking): If those Windbones are made from dragonbone... does that mean I can control them with the Dragonbone Master's ability?

Momo: I guess we're about to find out!

Rewards for collecting Crystals of Blessing:

Resonite Crystal

Sketch: Ancient Remnants

Sketch: Starlight Pursuit

After collecting them, you can also claim Diamonds in the Events interface! Stylists, be sure to keep an eye on the time so you don't miss out!

Firmament Echoes

The faint glimmer traced as the arrow leaves the bow is like a dream still stirring within the dragon bone.

Seamlessly chain together Whim Combat Skills, and, with the Dragon Spirits' Blessing, defeat Esselings more easily!

Momo's Cloak: Frostfall

Donning this cloak, Momo fancies himself a mage who wields the powers of growth and decay.

Secrets of the Fragments II: The Relic Tracker

Herod, a scholar obsessed with historical research, has come to the Boneyard carrying the Antiqua Probe. Place the Antiqua Probe in the correct position, and it will sense nearby relics. Use the Artifact Discovery Record to exchange information with Herod for rewards~

Herod: When you touch these relics, what you may feel... is the lingering warmth left behind by a craftsman from long ago.

[Tips] After discovering relics, you can obtain either Discovery Records or Diamond rewards. Hand in Discovery Records to Herod to exchange them for the following furniture sketches:

Sternum Fossil

Patterned Pottery Jar

Scale Fossil

Spiral Fossil

Dragon Pendant Light

Across the Boneyard, there are many Incense Worktables. By combining different incense materials, you can craft Incense Burners with a variety of effects.

Find an Incense Burner Stand within the Boneyard and place your Incense Burners on it. Every 48 hours, you can collect a batch of rewards, which can be accumulated for up to four days~

Nikki: The effects of these Incense Burners vary so much! Some can even attract small animals. How amazing!

[Aromancer's Notes]

Scattered throughout the Boneyard are many Aromancer's Notes. By reading the recipes within them, you can craft the corresponding Incense Burners. However, freely combining different incense ingredients might also unlock entirely new recipes.
