Essential Tips for Living Memory

Zone Progression: The islands are disconnected. You must use the ziplines (Electro-rope) to travel between them, which are unlocked strictly via the Main Scenario.
The Puzzle Quest: "Perplexing Puzzles, Endless Fun" asks you to follow riddles. Look for the interactable points (lampposts/gates) described in the quest text rather than a simple map marker.

Embarking on this quest is an invitation to explore the memories of the departed. From the Venetian canals to the volcanic forges, every discovery brings you closer to mastering the skies of this digital world.
