Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Meet the Research Team

Impa's team has set up a camp in the outer courtyard. Team leader Maris briefs Link: three wing investigations, then the throne room. Each wing has worsening apparition activity.

2

West Wing — Soldier Apparitions

Phantom Royal Guards patrol the west wing. Use Recall to reverse their patrol patterns. At the wing's end, a ghost captain drops a fragment of the Royal Guard Commander's last order.

3

East Wing — Courtier Apparitions

Spectral courtiers crowd the east gallery. A hidden Zonai Resonance Stone in the wall, activatable with Ultrahand, dispels them and reveals a mural of the final banquet before the Calamity.

4

Throne Room — The Great Phantom

A massive spectral form occupies the throne room — an ancient shadow cast into the castle walls. It can only be dispelled by placing Sage's Will fragments at four cardinal pressure plates simultaneously.
