## Objectives

* Talk to people in the Library.
* Head to the 1st Year Building - BF.
* Explore the 1st Year Building - BF (Mist).
* Talk to people in the Library.

## Walkthrough

This act starts automatically once the final scene of Act of Gluttony: Slothful Philosophy transitions to the Library.

### The first Ideal

* Talk to Kokoro and Vanitas in the Library.
* Leave the Library and enter 1st Year Building - 1F for a scene.
* 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 Kokoro.
* Try to leave the Library and then talk to Vanitas.
* Go to Main Building - 1F for a scene.
* Go down to Main Building - BF via the west stairs for a scene.
	+ The east stairs lead to a different part of the basement. Going down there is optional. There is a memo and some SPIRIT to pick up.
* 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 into the Basement Storage room to the south.
* There is a memo here noting "Wedding Anniversary." Cromwell: Misc. Notes II has the date of the relevant wedding.
* Use the code 0621 on the locker on the shelves by the west wall to get Steward's Secret Room Key.
* Go back to Main Building - BF.
* Head back up the stairs to Main Building - 1F.
* Go to the Steward's Office located just to the east of the Dean's Office.
* Unlock the door in the middle of the office.
* Take the ladder down to Main Building - BF.
* Go west, south, and through the door.
* The lockers along the east wall have the following combinations:
	+ The north locker is 0000.
	+ The south locker is 0090.
* Go to the south end of the table in the middle of the room.
* 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.
