The Spirit at Northpointe
As Mogloween approaches, word spreads about a cursed video and a dead pixel that has become a Phantom Pixel. At Northpointe, Artix asks you to help Yurei, a spirit who can’t pass on. The curse has scattered thirteen artifacts across seven worlds, and seven are hidden in Lore. Kurok Gravefang wants the last of them, Death’s Hourglass, to conquer the lands of the living and the dead.
You follow Artix’s leads from Tasanee’s Unholy Wasabi to a ChickenCow claw hidden in Cysero’s dreams. After you find the sixth artifact in the Secret Underground Lab, Gravefang says he can feel the hourglass’s power. Yurei whispers a warning, then giggles. Artix is ready to back you up, though he expects you to win the duel yourself.
Death’s Hourglass
You defeat Gravefang before he can claim the hourglass. A beam of light reveals it at a fountain in Northpointe, where it had been all along. You find Yurei by the well and bring it to her. Once the artifacts from the other six games have been gathered too, all thirteen turn back into the dead pixels they once were. The picture is whole, and Yurei can finally move on. You call after her in the dark, but the scene cuts you off and hints she might visit the viewer’s own world.
