Wise Grandparent

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Wise Grandparent** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Belonging who offers the  Wise Stance. The Wise Grandparent is found on a square platform at the start of the Vault Archives. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Cape, a  Mask, a  Memory Lantern, and a  Music Sheet 11.

## Memory

The Wise Grandparent can be found on a square platform at the start of the Vault Archives, in the large room before the maze. This Spirit is a standard memory quest with 9 memory fragments, with a 15-minute overall time limit.

Deep Calling is recommended to flip the many Dark Crabs inhabiting the hallways of the Archives, to prevent them from attacking during the memory.

As you relive its memory, you can see the Wise Grandparent ponderously explore the maze-like Archives until they reach its end.

At the end of the memory, the Wise Grandparent stands thoughtfully with their hands clasped behind their back. The player then grabs a bell from underneath their Cape and rings it, catching the attention of the Spirit.

## Stance

The Wise Grandparent does not offer an Expression, but instead offers a Stance. The  Wise Stance will give your avatar wise look, with your hands folded behind your back. The Stance will affect your avatar's position when standing, kneeling, sitting, and lying down.

* Sitting will make your avatar sit with crossed legs and your head propped up on your right hand, slightly hunched forward.
* Lying down will make your avatar lay on your side, legs bent and your head propped up on your arm, eyes closed.
