Objective: Navigate through the shifting memories and solve puzzles to proceed.
-
Memory Corridors: The party must travel through corridors lined with doors, each leading to a significant memory. Each memory is a puzzle or a combat encounter representing different aspects of Ateos’s life:
-
Memory of Creation: The players find themselves in a workshop where Ateos is crafting a powerful magical item. The puzzle here involves helping Ateos complete the item by solving a riddle related to the properties of different magical materials.
-
Memory of Fear: The players are transported to a battlefield where a young Ateos faced his greatest fear—a powerful dragon. They must either defeat the dragon or find a way to quell Ateos’s fear, perhaps by uncovering a hidden truth in the memory.
-
Memory of Loss: The players witness a tragic event—a loved one of Ateos’s dying. Here, they must solve a puzzle that symbolizes letting go, such as arranging items that represent different stages of grief.

Mindscape Hazards: As they navigate these memories, the mindscape itself begins to react to the players’ presence. Shifting corridors, sudden gravity changes, and reality-warping effects force them to stay alert.
