This act starts automatically after Act of Sloth: Shield of Hope ends.

### The first Ideal

* Go to the Dean's Office.
* After the long scene, talk to Sora Jingu and Shinya Yuda.
* Go to the 1st Year Building - 1F.
* Go to the staircase a short way northeast of the entrance and try to go downstairs to 1st Year Building - BF for a scene.
* Vanitas will supply a new number for the Singularity connecting this basement to the depths of the Otherworld. It's a good idea to call in and destroy the Singularity before continuing on.
* Go north and take either door into Basement Storage at the end of the hall.
* *Be careful of the student in here,* who will approach and emit waves of madness if the protagonist comes too near.
* There's a locker on a shelf next to the north wall. The memo, written by H.C., next to the locker offers the needed clue: "Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy."
	+ Each desire cooresponds to a number. Various Cromwell notes in library material, such as Cromwell: Monarks and Cromwell: Authorities, list these in a consistent order using Roman numerals. Thus, "Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy" works out to 2653.
* Enter 2653 at the locker to receive 1st Year Building B2 Key.
* Leave the Basement Storage room.
* Return to 1st Year Building - 1F.
* Head north and east, continuing all the way around to the other staircase on the first floor.
* Unlock the door by the stairs.
* Go through the door into the Basement Passage.
* Go through to 1st Year Building - BF2.
* Contnue through the door ahead.
* Go to the southeast corner of the room.
* Prepare for a fight and answer the call. Defeat the fiends to destroy the first Ideal.

### The second Ideal

* Talk to Nozomi and Vanitas.
* Leave the Student Council Room for a scene. Most areas now contain Mist.
* Go to the 2nd Year Building - 1F.
* Go to the staircase to the east of the entrance.
* Continue downstairs to 2nd Year Building - BF for a scene.
* Vanitas will supply a new number for the Singularity connecting this basement to the depths of the Otherworld. It's a good idea to call in and destroy the Singularity before continuing on.
* Head to the west and enter the first accessible room, another Basement Storage, to the south.
* There is a locker here on a shelf at the east wall. The memo nearby has the clue: "the anniversary of her death."
	+ The answer can be found in Cromwell: Misc. Notes IV.
* Get the 2nd Year Basement Depths Key from the locker using the combination 1230.
* Exit the Basement Storage room.
* Head west to the end of the hall.
* Go south through the door to Basement Room.
* Open the door at the south wall using the key.
* Go through to another part of 2nd Year Building - BF.
* Head through the hallway to the door to the south. Avoid the student to the east of the this door at the end of the hall, as he will emit waves of madness.
* Go through the south door into yet another part of 2nd Year Building - BF.
* Go neat the southeast corner of the room. The correct spot is a step or two back from the corner.
* Prepare for a fight and answer the call. Defeat the fiends to destroy the second Ideal.

The protagonist will then either:

* Be returned to just after Intermission: Dusk technically ends if the protagonist hasn't yet entwined their fate with all three of the other companions.
* Continue on to Act of Woe: The Gate.
