Results

Parcels with personality

Fragile

Glass, teacups, telescope mirrors. While you carry one, every ledge is a wall: take the stairs, a bridge or a gentle lift.

Heavy

Barley sacks and oil casks. Each one adds a spark to every step, so carry it last and shortest.

Glowing

Moth-lamp seeds and embers. They reveal ghost walkways around you, until you hand them over and the light goes with them.

Light crystals

Carry them like parcels or set them into old sockets, so the planks around stay lit while your hands are free.

Five districts, forty missions

Levers open lock gates, platforms turn in the river, lifts climb the cliffs. Every mission is checked by a solver, so there is always a way, and the best routes are tight.

Thimble Meadow mission with stairs between grass terraces — Thimble Meadow

1 Thimble Meadow

Green terraces, stone stairs and a pond in every garden. Learn the lanes, hop down ledges and handle the teacups with care.

Millbrook Fen mission with a lever, lock gates and a turning platform in the river — Millbrook Fen

2 Millbrook Fen

Boardwalks over the fen, lock gates on two-way levers, turning platforms in the river and sacks of barley that weigh down every step.

Glowwood Hollow at night: glowing ghost walkways lit by a crystal set in a socket — Glowwood Hollow

3 Glowwood Hollow

Ghost walkways that appear only in the light. Carry glowing parcels and light crystals, and set crystals into old sockets to keep the planks lit.

Copper Cliffs mission with two lifts between tall terraces — Copper Cliffs

4 Copper Cliffs

Tall terraces, lifts you ride or call with levers, seesaw lifts that share one chain, and lenses too fragile for the quick way down.

Skyreach Ridge at night above the cloud sea — Skyreach Ridge

5 Skyreach Ridge

Ruins above the cloud sea and the Great Lantern, burning low. Everything the Vale taught you, in the last eight missions.

Between deliveries

Meet the Vale

Postmaster Odo, Poppy the farmer, old Corwin of the locks, Sorrel the herbalist, Tuck the miner, Archivist Quill and Lumen the lamplighter, each with something to send and something to say.

The Courier Station island with decorations bought with sea-glass — Courier Station

Decorate the station

Vale Journal with lore notes found in missions — Vale Journal

Find every lore note

Each mission hides a note about the history of the Vale and its Great Lantern. The Secret Compass and the Echo Lens help you search once you have earned them.
