Duet Night Abyss: Paper stars box guide (Stars of Hidden Dreams)

“Hello, Icelake” splits into three short investigations tied to the items Margie hands you: a prescription, a key, and a box of paper stars. That last one leads to Stars of Hidden Dreams — a compact side quest that hinges on a Wisdom gate and a quick mini-game. Here’s the full route, where to go, what checks you’ll face, and what you earn.


Unlock Hello, Icelake, and pick up the paper stars box

First, finish the On a Gentle Breeze main quest. Then find Margie at Icelake Suburban Square (by the bulletin board) to start Hello, Icelake. You’ll be prompted to inspect three “new arrivals,” each tied to an Impression check at Difficulty: 120. Passing the checks lets you take the item and grants a small bonus.

Item Impression check Difficulty Immediate bonus Linked side quest
Prescription (poem on the back) Morality 120 Secret Letter Clue ×2, Coin ×2000 A Dangerous Prescription
Box of paper stars Empathy 120 Secret Letter Clue ×2, Coin ×2000 Stars of Hidden Dreams
Key (matches Henrik’s) Wisdom 120 Secret Letter Clue ×2, Coin ×2000 The “Final” Contract
Note: Dialogue responses during these conversations can add small +3 boosts to specific Impression tracks. Some players report progressing after clearing one check, but be prepared to clear all three to pick up every item cleanly.

Stars of Hidden Dreams (paper stars) — full walkthrough

Step What to do What to look for
1 Talk to the Old Scavenger in the Slums He’s by the trash bins beside Outsider’s House. He points you to the ticket booth outside Icelake.
2 Head to the ticket booth outside the city wall A cutscene plays showing a dispute between a foreign merchant and the ticket seller.
3 Speak with the Foreign Merchant Pass a Wisdom Impression Check at Difficulty: 130 to defuse the situation and advance.
4 Talk to the Ticket Seller Resolve the conversation; a simple mini-game begins afterward.
5 Complete the mini-game Guide the white hexagon to the hole on the opposite side within the time limit.
6 Speak to the Ticket Seller again This closes Stars of Hidden Dreams.
Tip: The merchant conversation offering the Wisdom check is repeatable — if you fail, you can back out and try again after raising Wisdom or picking dialogue lines that grant +3 to the right track.

Finish the other two threads to complete Hello, Icelake

To wrap Margie’s overarching quest, complete the prescription and key threads tied to the other two items:

  • A Dangerous Prescription (prescription): Find Luna near the Asphodel entrance after a short scuffle. Track down medicine at Hypnos’ House and resolve the follow-up choice.
  • The “Final” Contract (key): Meet Lina on Hypnos’ House second floor to start. Pass an Empathy check (Difficulty: 105) and a Wisdom check (Difficulty: 110), then use the key in Henrik’s office to open a safe via a simple puzzle. Inside is Henrik’s will and the narrative payoff for Lina.

Return to Margie at Icelake Suburban Square once all three side quests are done to turn in Hello, Icelake and collect the final payout.

If you’re stuck on the 130 Wisdom gate, build the stat through conversations that grant +3 Wisdom when offered, then reattempt the foreign merchant dialogue. The prompt is repeatable, so you won’t lock yourself out by failing once.
