THE LANTERN KEEPER’S FIELD GUIDE

A little patience. A brighter gift.

  1. Gather. Move over the garden’s fireflies. They follow your lantern. Drag on touch; use arrows or WASD on a keyboard.
  2. Offer. Carry your swarm to Nyx’s stone at the top center. Each offering resets the 20-second curiosity clock. Survive three minutes to see dawn.
  3. Evolve. Every 9 seconds, three beats announce Nyx’s pulse. Activate Shield during the third beat: all carried fireflies evolve. The first two beats evolve only half. A shield outside the beats only protects; without one, most of your carried swarm escapes.
  4. Plan. Summon costs 5 light. Shield costs 10 and lasts until the next pulse. Light slowly recovers; offerings replenish it. Release a swarm before a pulse to protect it, then return to gather it again.

Uncarried fireflies are always safe. Higher tiers are worth 5, 15, 25 and 40 points. Consecutive successful shields multiply offerings, up to ×3. Timeless practice has no curiosity limit and no ending.
