Start by following the quest navigator up the stairs that will take you to the inside of the castle. Once inside, you will enter a small room with fallen game soldiers. You have to interact with the soldiers on the ground by choosing the dialogue that says “This is a bit strange…”

Doing so will trigger enemies to spawn. Defeat them and claim the Chest reward, then continue.

Your path will be blocked by a locked gate. To get past it, you have to talk to the game soldier, who will respond with speech bubbles. Since there is no real dialogue sequence, you have to be patient and wait for it to finish talking. You must speak to it twice, with the following answers:

• what happened
• Leave it to me!

Afterwards, the gate will open, leading to a staircase full of enemies. Defeat all enemies and claim your Chest reward, then continue.

When you enter the corridor, turn left to reach the balcony where more enemies await. Defeat all enemies to save the game soldier.

After defeating the enemies, talk to the game soldier to get a Chest reward. Once donetalk to it again twice to ask about the Stars and Gears.

Then, return to the hallway and enter the door ahead, which should lead you to a staircase. Go up the stairs to meet another set of toy soldiers. Talk to the toy soldier to ask what happened, then talk to it a second time to “leave it to me!”

Defeat the enemies ahead, then interact with the two game soldiers guarding the star get it

This part is optional, because you only need the stars to reach the top of the tower. However, I suggest going to the pond ahead and defeating the Hilichurls, then talking to the toy soldier to trigger a Paper Frog Choir challenge, as it offers a reward.

Otherwise, go back to the position of the two guards who gave you the star, then go up the stairs right next to them. At the top of the stairs, defeat all the Hilichurls.

You will find three toy soldiers stuck on the wall. You need release the two on the left first.

You need wait for the two freed soldiers approach the last soldier stuck on the biggest goop on the wall. Once they are both close, the dialogue will change to allow all three to take out the last soldier together. After taking out the soldier, talk to them to get the star and loot the Chest.

The gate will open and reveal a manual elevator. Step on the elevator and attack the device using Normal Attacks several times until it reaches the highest point in the building. From there, just go to the shiny spot to continue the quest.
