When players arrive at the Abandoned Shrine near Chinju Forest to carry out the investigation, they will find a Mysterious Shadow – she is a ghost, you heard us right. To complete “Continue the Investigation at the Abandoned Shrine” players have to find and interact with three Mysterious Shadows to move them in the central area.

To move a single Mysterious Shadow to the central area, players have to interact with the shadow two times. Upon first interaction, the shadow will change its location. So, in total, players have to interact with Mysterious Shadows six times.
