The continent of Arthetine has the usual seven hidden stories. The capital, Stern, has both a three and a four-part story, while several of the outlying areas have single-part tales you just need to find the location for. Only one story offers a real challenge, with its third part being at the end of the Verdantier dungeon with quite a tough time limit. But where would the fun be if it wasn’t a challenge?

This is a four-part story that, once started, is on a timer. If you don’t find and read the next part within the time limit, you’ll need to start the whole thing again. However, all four parts of the story are in the Origins of Stern area, and you have a generous 20 minutes to find each one.

Each part of the story is activated by clicking on a computer screen panel. The first is just to the right of the entrance to the Stern Times Office, which is the building just west of the Business District Triport in Origins of Stern.

Once you’ve begun, portal over to the Market District. Go down the stairs southeast from the triport and you’ll see Gold Shop NPC Halmond. Just to his right is a bank of computer screens – and the second part of The Answer to the Agony.

Now head to the Industrial District. From the triport, head northeast towards the Hall of Transcendence, but turn right just before you get there and follow the path southeast. You’ll see Abyss Trade
