Please note the manual contains some mild spoilers. If you'd like to avoid these spoilers and look for help, I'll tell you what pages to look on. If you're stuck in Albumen Shore, refer to page 13! If you're stuck in Center City Cenote, check out pages 14-17! If you're stuck somewhere beyond that, you can drop by our Discord for help.
Page 8 contains some control tips for 3D. Page 9 has tips for the Dimension Dive minigame. You may find the tip for 2D movement on Page 10 to be helpful!
Check out this mini-guide we made on Steam.
If you'd like, very minimal tips are also below. The above guide has more details/spoilers.
(Highlight to read)
General
Be sure to buy the Card Detector! It'll let you know if the 3D area contains any cards still. If not, that means you need to shrink to Nanoscale to find the rest of the cards!
Outer Sands North
There's something you need to do with the trees here. The order in which you talk to them matters... but in what way?
If you've already solved the trees, and are missing a card, try speaking to everyone in the area.
Outer Sands West
Have you closely investigated everything along the shoreline?
Outer Sands West Nanopoint
1. Try following the petals.
2. Investigate the southeastern rocky barriers closely.
3. Try riding the train.
Outer Sands East
In addition to the NPC on the hilltop, there are two other NPCs in the area you'll want to talk to.
Fast ways to collect dust after Cards 5-12
It's very quick to get Dust from Iwasaki Antimon. However due to his distance from Blue Vale Center, you may find going to a Cenote character, fighting the enemies, then saving and dying, to be a faster option. (Dying will respawan the enemies!) Likewise, the Pastel Horizon has some very convenient entry points for collecting Dust.
