You awake from your slumber to the voice of a man named Jacob. He says that your people are in peril and you, the Empress of the Deep, are the only one who can save them.

You open your eyes and see the room around you and a title informs you that you’re inside the Sky Palace. The game will ask you if you wish to have interactive help. This is a tutorial, and you can either accept or refuse it without any effect on gameplay. 

The numbers on the Images are related to the corresponding instructions below.

NEW QUEST: Open the Big Doors

BEDROOM DOOR PUZZLE

NEW QUEST: Look to the East

• 8. Go through the doors that you’ve just opened. On the terrace you’ll find another CRYSTAL LENS (3rd) for your inventory (circled in green above). 
• 9. Place the three CRYSTAL LENSES from your inventory onto the TELESCOPE (circled in red above). Once you do this, the TELESCOPE will automatically position itself forward. Take a peek.

•  

NEW QUEST: Burn that which is corrupted

• 11. Head back inside and investigate the area near the phoenix statue once again (circled in blue above).

• 12. At the base of the statue you’ll find YOUR OLD BOOK. Take the COLOSSUS IMAGE and place it on YOUR OLD BOOK’s screen (circled in white above). This will cause it to short circuit and shake practically the entire foundation of the Sky Palace. Jacob will instruct you to burn the book and it will be placed in your inventory.
• 13. Take YOUR OLD BOOK and place it on the plate (circled in green above). This will cause it to burn which in turn brings the PHOENIX back to life.
• A cutscene plays as you and the phoenix escape the now burning Sky Palace. It lands in the water near a floating island and it leaves you behind as it transforms into a giant statue. Jacob offers you both an explanation and some words of advice. The adventure it seems has yet to truly begin.
• QUEST: Burn that which is corrupted: Complete
