Provoking Performer

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Provoking Performer** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Gratitude who offers the  Kabuki expression. The performer is found to the left of Forest's Brook, in a tunnel entrance. The collectibles offered by this spirit are  Hair, a  Mask, and  Music Sheet 7.

## Memory

The Provoking Performer can be found just inside a covered entrance to a tunnel to the left of the brook. The entrance is on the ground near one of the trees with a Winged Light and has a dark plant immediately to its left.

This spirit is a carry memory quest with 5 memory fragments and no overall time limit. As you carry the light through the tunnel, you will find a Treasure Candle and two Dark Crabs in a small cave off to the right. While all memory fragments are sheltered from the rain, the light is at risk from the rain outside the tunnel, so you will have to carry it quickly from the exit of the tunnel to where the last memory fragment is under a tree.

At the end of the memory, the Spirit performs the Kabuki emote, which you echo back. There is no additional end-of-memory cutscene.

## Expression

The  Kabuki expression (officially called **Sarcastic**) has 4 levels.

Kabuki Level 1Kabuki Level 2Kabuki Level 3Kabuki Level 4
* Level 1 will make your avatar step forward, swing your palm down to where you are facing and your avatar’s head to spin and nod with a whistling sound effect as if you were a Kabuki performer.
* Level 2 makes the same motion as Level 1 with light sparkles flying all around you in dramatic motion, following your movements.
* Level 3 will make your avatar hop twice to the left and twice to the right (while making little punching movements as if you were fending off something, then jump forwards while thrusting out your palm, similar to the motion made at the end of Level 1/2
* Level 4 makes the same motion as Level 3 with light particles flying all around you in dramatic movements, following your motion

As a Traveling Spirit, the prices of the three expression upgrades were the standard 4 , 3 , and 6 . During the Season, Levels 2 and 4 were free, but were only available to Season Pass holders.
