Walkthrough[edit]
- Subdue citizens
When Rata Novan citizens become 
Kryptis-Possessed, deal damage to them until they reach 25% health. They will be 
Stunned and gain 
Demonic Aura for 30 seconds, so you have to use the special action skill Purge Corruption to subdue them.
- Golem configuration
Interact with a H.O.X. golem to gain the effect 
Time Remaining and the skills:
| # | Skill | 
|
|
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sequence Beta Sigma | ½ | No skill description found. | |
| 2 | Sequence Rho Delta | ½ | No skill description found. | |
| 3 | Sequence Upsilon Xi | ½ | No skill description found. |
Then play a mini-game similar to "Simon says" machines in Club Canach and successfully follow the sequence of up to three buttons in a row.
- Musicians
Interacting with the Music Sheets allows you to read the music note sequence required for this part of the event:
Then talk to a Rata Novus Musician and make them follow your lead. Your weapon skills will be overriden with the following:
| # | Skill |
|
|
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Note 1 | None | ||
| 2 | Note 2 | ... | ||
| 3 | Note 3 | None | ||
| 4 | Note 4 | None | ||
| 5 | Note 5 | None | ||
| 6 | Note 6 | None | ||
| 7 | Note 7 | None | ||
| 8 | Note 8 | None | ||
| 8 | Stop Playing | Stop Playing |
Play the notes 1-4-2-3-8-5 in quick succession next to a musician so the speech bubble disappears and they throw some confetti.
- Painters
Interact with a canvas to gain 
Painterly Stance and 
Time remaining. Your skills will be overriden with the following:
| # | Skill |
|
|
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Painterly Stroke | ½ | Paint a perfect stroke. | ||
| Missed Stroke | ½ | Paint stroke is sloppy. | ||
| 10 | Quit Painting | 3 | ... |
They will be randomly organised and change positions every time you paint a stroke. If you successfully paint correct strokes without missing any, you can stack up 
Perfect Stroke, although it doesn't appear to do anything.

Dialogue[edit]
- Prior to the event
- Breidr: Look, we really don't have a great handle on what allows these incursions to happen.
- Breidr: Fear, despair, sadness; in sufficient quantities, they all lead to possession.
- Zinn: This is Rata Novus! You'll find no such negativity here. I'm confident in our safety to six significant digits.
- Zinn: If you're concerned, then help us prepare. If everyone stays happy, then there's no danger, right?
- Breidr: Well, in theory... Fine, we'll help with the preparations.
- During the event
- Zinn: Start with the golems. Switch them to "COMMAND: Party." Can't have a celebration if they're not serving refreshments.
- Zinn: Possession? No, this can't be right. This is a celebration! Unless... Deal with them while I make some calculations.
- Zinn: Perhaps music is the missing variable. Go get the musicians playing. Quickly, now!
- Zinn: No, no, this doesn't add up! Take care of them while I make some adjustments to my figures.
- Zinn: So, if the coefficient of joy is... Hmm...
- Zinn: Perhaps artistic inspiration is needed as a counterbalance... Well, don't just stand there, make a masterpiece already!
- Zinn: I don't understand... The more joyous the celebration, the more possession there is. That makes no sense, unless they...
- During the event (repeated lines)
- H.O.X.: (beeps happily)
- Possessed Rata Novan Citizen: More... I want more.
- Possessed Rata Novan Citizen: Another banquet, just for us.
- Possessed Rata Novan Citizen: What's wrong, don't you want to celebrate?
- Rata Novus Citizen: Ah, my head...
- Rata Novus Citizen: Did I miss the party...?
- Talking to a Rata Novus Musician
- Rata Novus Musician: Are we still going to perform? What's going on out there? I'm so confused...
Just follow my lead.
Just keep waiting.
- Talking to a Painter
- Painter: Are we making these paintings for the celebration?
- That's the plan.
- Okay... but I don't actually know how to paint.
- Let me show you.
- Can't help you. Sorry.
- Event success
- Breidr: What's going on? I thought you had a plan here, Zinn!
- Zinn: I'm afraid I've gravely misunderstood the nature of these creatures.
- Zinn: We assumed that the creatures targeted negative emotions, but all that matters is the magnitude of the emotions.
- Zinn: By keeping everyone happy, we've inadvertently drawn even more of these "Kryptis" right to Rata Novus.
- Breidr: And here they come.
- Event failure
- Zinn: No, no, no, this party is a disaster! We'll just have to postpone it for now.
