History Explorer's Notes

The History Explorer's Notes are hidden interactables that can be read to give the player more information about the lore and world of Castle of Temptation.

# Overview

The History Explorer's Notes are hidden throughout the levels of the game, and there are currently only two known ones. History Explorer's note 1 is located in the secret area of the Obsidian Hall level, and History Explorer's note 2 is located in the lounge of the Magic Dollhouse

# History Explorer's Note 1

History Explorer's Note 1 can be found by completing the chase sequence in Obsidian Hall's secret room

## Obtaining

To find History Explorer's Note 1, the player must first find the secret room in Obsidian Hall. This can be done by scaling the pillars on the left side of room seven. This is the room with the large chest in the center. Upon climbing high enough, the player will find a misaligned area of the left wall. When the player jumps over to it, they will find that it is actually a fake wall, inside of which is a hidden door leading to the secret room. Inside the secret room is a large chest containing Paradise Key 1. After opening this chest, a wall will open to the player's left, revealing a door the player must enter. Entering the door will begin a chase sequence, in which the player must make it to the "hidden" exit on the right side of the room, while avoiding the succubi chasing them. After exiting the chase sequence, the player will enter another room containing several bookshelves and a desk, on which is the History Explorer's Note 1, which the player can read.

They were used for Apotheosis ritual purposes 500 years ago. However, at some point, the Apotheosis disappeared mysteriously, since then the castles remain abandoned.*

This time we're exploring the castle in the northeast of the west continent. The troops used to forbid anyone to be near to the castle before the peace agreement with the devils. According to the troops, monsters tend to hide in places like this, which could be dangerous. Even though we got permission, the troops told us they weren't really sure what's in the castle, hence couldn't guarantee safety.*

> *The Castles we've investigated were mostly like this, just some angel statues and useless stuff. The same statues can be found in Apotheosis churches. Therefore we believe these castles were used for church purposes.*

> *According to the kingdom's record, humans can be traced back to the year 1300 BP (before peace), with the help of the Apotheosis and the republics founded by the royals, the Apotheosis back then did missionary works and helped the local population grow. Around the year 500 BP the long war between the humans and devils began until the peace agreement.*

> *These are just official statements, which we can't find almost anything about pre 500 BP on the streets, other than urban legends. None of the Apotheosis activities were recorded as well. Things before 500 BP were only the kingdom records. Hence we're skeptical about its historical accuracy.*

>
> *This is why we began to investigate things before 500 BP, these castles were build during that unknown period. Although little has been discovered so far, we believe the lost history can be found in these castles"*
