Brief context:

In July of 2023, books across the dream world started to mysterious disappear. It was soon tracked that the books were being taken inside the world of another book: 'A Dystopian Nightmare' which is a book combining 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. While the DPF did not want to venture into the book, it was up to Lucid and Nate to go in and save the books from Big Brother!

Before starting: Reading the dialog throughout the quest will be very important for later! Be sure to pay attention to certain keywords and names of organizations and people as you play through the quest.

Step 1: Upon reaching Lucid's realm, talk to Lucid and Nate. Then, jump on the red book that's on the table to your right to be teleported inside of it to Chapter I. Note: This will teleport you to another external map.

Step 2: Talk to Lucid and Nate at the beginning and continue walking straight ahead. You will pass a barn with a male NPC and eventually reach a house to your left with a female NPC.

Step 3: Upon entering the house, head to the room on the right and there is a card under the bed. Click it to obtain the INGSOC Card.

Step 4: Head back out of the house and continue going straight. You will eventually reach a tunnel that's blocked off. Equip the INGSOC Card and use it on the tunnel. It will then be unblocked and you will be able to proceed to Chapter II. Note: This will teleport you to another external map.

Step 5: Talk to Nate and then continue straight until you catch up with Lucid. Once you're done talking to Lucid, take a left turn.

Step 6: You will eventually reach the Chestnut Tree Cafe that should be located to your left. Enter it and talk to the bartender.

Step 12: The interior first floor of the Minitrue is a maze. You will need to find a code located in one of the cubicle rooms on a white board. Nate will be standing by the code in the correct cubicle room. Once you find it, remember the code.

Step 13: Once you have the code, you will need to find the locked door that leads to the storage room. Once you find the door, Lucid will be standing next to it. Simply type the code in the chat to unlock the door. Note: You can reset your character to go back to the start of the maze as there is a checkpoint there for convenience and work your way from there.
