Whose Leak Is This? is an Anomaly Commission in Neverness to Everness (NTE) tied to a Class III Object Anomaly called Level Proliferation. The commission sits in the Miguel District and revolves around an elevator that no longer connects to its real floors, instead opening onto distorted Anomalous Realms that you have to dispel to restore the building.
Quick answer: Enter the apartment building southwest of the Saint Torres Avenue phone booth in Miguel District, ride the broken elevator, and on each floor collect three elevator buttons while avoiding the black water. Return to the elevator after each floor until the realm collapses.
Where to start Whose Leak Is This in Miguel District
The commission begins inside an apartment building on Saint Torres Avenue. Fast travel to the Saint Torres Avenue phone booth, then walk southwest to the building marked on the Anomagram. Interact with the elevator inside to accept the commission and trigger Level Proliferation.
The Anomaly itself is a malfunction phenomenon, so the elevator panel reroutes you to fragmented floors instead of the building’s actual levels. Each floor is a small puzzle area you have to clear before the next one becomes accessible.
How Level Proliferation works
Once you enter the elevator, you are taken to a series of altered floors that don’t match the real building. The goal on every floor is the same: locate three elevator buttons hidden around the area and bring them back to the elevator panel. The buttons are scattered on platforms, ledges, and at the end of short detours.
Black water covers parts of each floor. Stepping into it interrupts your run by damaging or staggering the Appraiser, which forces you to take detours and use higher ground. Stick to dry tiles, jump over the dark patches, and approach buttons from the cleanest path you can find.
After all three buttons on a floor are collected, return to the elevator and use it to advance. You repeat this loop across multiple distorted floors until the realm is dispelled and the elevator is restored.
Stepwise clear order
Step 1: Enter the building southwest of the Saint Torres Avenue phone booth in Miguel District and interact with the elevator to start the commission.
Step 2: Ride to the first distorted floor. Walk the perimeter first, identify the black water lanes, and pick up the closest elevator button before doubling back for the others.
Step 3: Collect all three buttons on the floor. They sit on raised surfaces and side rooms, away from the flooded sections, so use jumps and short climbs to bypass the water.
Step 4: Return to the elevator on that floor and interact with it to load the next floor.
Step 5: Repeat the same pattern on each subsequent floor. Each one shares the rule of three elevator buttons plus black water hazards, but the layout changes between visits.
Step 6: Once the final floor is cleared, the elevator returns to its original state, and the commission is marked as complete in the Anomagram.
Rewards for completing Whose Leak Is This
Whose Leak Is This is a common-tier Anomaly Commission, so it pays out the standard mid-tier reward bundle without an Arc weapon drop.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Hunter EXP | 200 |
| Annulith | 30 |
| Fons | 10,000 |
| U-00NE | 20 |
| Beetle Coin | 5,000 |
| Anomaly Material Selection Box I | 4 |
| Arc weapon drop | None |
How to confirm the commission completed
You know the Anomaly is dispelled when control returns to the normal building lobby and the elevator behaves as a regular fast travel option again. The Anomagram entry for Whose Leak Is This switches from active to completed, and the reward popup lists the Hunter EXP, Annulith, Fons, U-00NE, Beetle Coins, and Anomaly Material Selection Box I drops shown above.
If the commission still appears active after you exit, it usually means a button on one of the floors was missed. Re-enter the elevator and check each floor again for the third button before assuming the run failed.
Common reasons the commission stalls
- Stepping into the black water repeatedly, which resets your position and slows the floor clear.
- Missing the third elevator button hidden on a higher platform or behind a side path.
- Leaving the elevator before interacting with it after collecting all three buttons on a floor.
Once Level Proliferation is dispelled, the elevator in Saint Torres Avenue stays restored, and the commission counts toward Miguel District Anomagram progress alongside neighbors like Plot Hole Repair Project, Power Saver, and This is Not a Painting.
