The Void Within: Orion’s Epilogue Quest

Following the plot's conclusion on June 16, 2026, the Epilogue (Chapter 19) was available as a continuation of the main story. As noted in the June 17 Release Notes (v0.8.40), this final chapter will be available until further notice.

Upon viewing the first page of Chapter 19: Epilogue, you will witness a conversation between Orion and his partially possessed self. During their discussion, Orion reveals that his lyre must be repaired using the Strings of the Four Waves before the quest can continue. To recover the missing strings, you'll need to complete the new card-reading game successfully four times, with each success unlocking a riddle that leads to one of the strings.

Tarot Card Game

The card-reading game uses 22 Major Arcana cards. At the start of each round, one card will be revealed while the next remains hidden. You must correctly guess whether the hidden card is higher or lower in value than the revealed card to progress. Each correct guess reveals the next card, but a single incorrect guess will end the round.

Simply click on either the higher or lower buttons to guess the value of the next card.

Guessing correctly three times in a row will complete a game and reward you with an item prize. You must complete a total of 4 games to unlock all 4 riddles and earn every reward. See item prizes for each game completion below.

The Riddles

After unlocking all 4 riddles, you will need to solve each one to recover the Lyre's missing strings. Each riddle consists of two parts, with the second unlocking after solving the first and visiting the hinted location (some locations require additional steps to trigger). This second part will then point you directly to the location of the corresponding Lyre string. Completing both parts will reward you with a Lyre string and an additional item prize.

Once you have correctly reached the location hinted at in each riddle, or met any required conditions at that location, a pop-up window will appear with a message from Orion.

For your convenience, we have provided the solutions to each riddle and their rewards below.

Riddle One
Riddle Two
Riddle Three
Riddle Four
Part One
The ocean never settles, for the moon is forever pulling at the tides. But there is a moment, within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky. Between the beat of old and new an inquiry for the tranquillity of the ever-moving waves may be granted if within the hallowed walls. But a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars.
Even the most solid of foundations can shake and crack, for the ground all walk upon is not as calm as it appears. There is no anger within the rumbling, simply an energy forever seeking an escape; a run without the race, a fight without a brawl. So quake the earth with the strength of a thousand, but only destroy if an even match.
To capture the breath of the land is a nigh on impossible feat. The patience it takes would drive many to their wits' end. Only those who can stare into the depths for days and return with favour may know what it takes. However, even then, repetition is key for they must lure in a success times three.
It would take a tetrad of the brightest minds traversing the stars four millennia to grasp even a quarter of the secrets the ever-expanding universe holds. And yet, acquiring its power is simple. For it is not about how far one goes, but about what they can truly acquire in their travels.

Part Two
It's appeared somewhere under a great, swirling pressure. The very essence around it appears to be boiling within a deep darkness.
There is not a lick of moisture where it has appeared due to the intense heat all around. However, despite the lack of water, its force feels fully submerged.
It feels as though it has appeared in a place one can not easily reach. So far up that it's almost in the sky itself, and yet there is very little sun as echoes bounce around it.
There is only the vacuum of nothingness all around. But, there is still somehow a steely presence nearby where it has appeared.
String Locations

Prizes

When visiting the final location of each riddle you will be awarded with an elemental string and an additional item prize.

Riddle One
Riddle Two
Riddle Three
Riddle Four

Lair of the Beast

Once you have recovered all of the strings and repaired the Lyre, you will be ready to meet the friend of the being inhabiting Orion. To continue the quest, make your way to the Lair of the Beast.

Upon arriving at the Lair of the Beast, click the button to Enter the Cave and continue your search for Orion's mysterious friend.

After entering the cave, you will be presented with another prompt. Click the Climb the Rope button to proceed deeper into the lair.

Once you have climbed the rope, you will be met with complete darkness. A faint image of the Lyre will appear somewhere within the darkened area of the screen, and you must quickly click it 5 times. After each successful click, the Lyre will move to a new location, so you will need to react quickly before the Beast attacks. If you fail to click the Lyre 5 times before the Beast attacks, you will need to wait until the next day after midnight NST to try again.

Successfully completing this challenge will reward you with an avatar and an additional item prize. You will also unlock the ability to revisit the Lair of the Beast once per day to collect items as a new daily activity.

Lair Beast Locket

Conclusion

After completing all of the riddles and the Lair of the Beast mini-game, return to The Void Within Story tab to continue the story. Upon returning to page one of Chapter 19, the layout will have changed to reveal an image of a possessed Orion, an opened locket, and a short prophetic verse hinting at what lies ahead.

Another anchor and I grow stronger, More power added to my roster. Now as if an echoing chorus from the pews, I hear my name the worldly Muse, My dear Orion, as we grow closer still, I can feel the world resonate with my will. Those like me wish to stop this, and yet they hide in the abyss. Let me show what they want to stay hidden, this goes far beyond just one villain.
