Eleventh Rite

Chasing her father's shadow, Ruka returns to the mysterious Sōgetsu residence. Upon entering the living room, she glimpses a figure—the Ghost: Sōya walking in the hallway.

Following the spectral trail, she spots the Ghost: Sōya returning to his room at the corner. Attempting to follow, she finds the door sealed by a powerful force.

Aiming the Camera Obscura at the door reveals an image of a sealed mask.

She must find and remove the remaining masks with talismans to break the seal. Returning to the junction, she heads toward the entrance hall as a shrill phone rings.

A mask talisman is stuck on the door to the left of the phone. As she tears it off, she feels a presence: the Ghost: Sayaka standing there, silently watching.

Proceeding down the hallway, she sees the Ghost: Sayaka standing and entering a room.

Following her into the living room overlooking the courtyard, she spots the Ghost: Ruka standing in the courtyard deep inside.

Nearby at the altar, she finds the document Sōgetsu Family Secret Records. Then, she heads to the 2nd floor.

Piano music echoes. Entering Ruka's room, she finds the Ghost: Mother and daughter playing piano.

On a small table, she retrieves Ruka's Diary 4.

Examining the piano, she finds the music sheet her mother once taught her. Playing it, Ruka recalls her mother's promise of a gift once she mastered the instrument...

Returning to the hallway, she enters Sayaka's room. The closet door shuts automatically; investigating it yields the Tsukimori Secret Records and the key item Tsukimori Mirror.

Search for secrets in the closet

Recalling this mirror needs a stand, she checks the bedside and finds Letter to Sōya, revealing her mother's Tsukimori bloodline.

Removing a mask talisman from the shelf, she spots a mirror stand near the window. Placing the Tsukimori Mirror on it, the reflected moonlight reveals a musical score projected on the wall.

Returning to the entrance hall, the Ghost: Takahisa Sendō attacks. After defeating him, she heads to the Apprentice's Room.

On the desk, she finds Sōgetsu Family Artisan Genealogy.

Finding the final mask talisman in the corner, she tears it off, triggering another attack from the Ghost: Takahisa Sendō.

With all three seals removed, the door at the end of the hall to the Master's Room is now accessible.

Inside a cabinet to the right, she finds the Lunar Musical Score and Sōya's Notes 2, revealing how to open the entrance to Tsukiyomi Hall.

Method to open the entrance to Tsukiyomi Hall

Deep in the room, behind a screen, the Ghost: Sōya reading an ancient book is focused on his study.

She retrieves the Player Mask that once brought fear and a Decoding Table used to rewrite ancient lunar sounds.

Beneath a wall scroll, she finds Sōya's Notes 1, revealing his extreme obsession with the Lunar Eclipse Mask.

Returning to the living room, she sees the Ghost: Islanders in the living room gathered as if the festival were about to begin. Pushing open the main door, she proceeds to Lunar Eclipse Hall 2.

Walking along the corridor, she witnesses the Ghost: Players heading to the ritual. Following them, she heads to Lunar Eclipse Hall 1.

Entering the basement via the left hallway, she follows the Ghost: Ancient islanders as they descend the stairs toward the Welcoming Room.

Entering this place, memories of being forcibly taken away as a child rush back. Five Player ghosts surround her (a smaller group than previous encounters).

After the battle, she investigates the altar and places the Player Mask, activating a lunar-phase sphere mechanism. By aligning it with the musical score, the secret door opens, leading to Tsukiyomi Hall.

Walking along the path past the save point, she sees ghosts moving downward. Descending two flights of stairs, she spots the Ghost: Two people walking down the path.

Going down further, she sees the Ghost: Two people heading to the Rite of Descent.

Reaching the Tsukiyomi Path, she watches the Ghost: Two people walking on the Tsukiyomi Path silently moving forward.

Continuing to the Tsukiyomi Gate, she watches the Ghost: Two people entering Tsukiyomi Hall vanish through the door.

Entering the Resonance Cave, she picks up the Black Mask Fragment (Left Eye) from the central altar (previously held by Misaki).

Pick up the mask fragment on the ground

Touching the fragment, memories flood back: Ya's forbidden 'Rite of Descent' to heal Sakuya failed because the mask Sōya crafted shattered. The miko and players lost their memories, and Sakuya was sent to the Forbidden Palace in a coma...

As she tries to leave, the powerful Ghost: Shadow Sakuya attacks! With no chance to win, she flees back to the middle of the path to survive.

Escaping back to the basement, she sees the Ghost: Regretful Sōya. Following his shadow, she enters Lunar Eclipse Hall 2.

Walking to the front of the First Appearance Hall, she sees the Ghost: Sōya entering the Mask Casting Hall.

Opening the doors, she finds the Ghost: Ruka going to see her father.

On the altar, she retrieves the Black Mask Fragment (Mouth).

Entering the Mask Casting Room to the left, she finds the Ghost: Lost Ruka standing there.

Her father's ghost, Sōya Yōgetsu, attacks. After a fierce battle, as he fades, he whispers his final words:

Ruka learns her past: Sōya, the mask-maker, forced his daughter and others to wear 'Player Masks' and made Sakuya the 'vessel' to wear the ultimate Lunar Eclipse Mask for the Kagura dance.

This was the forbidden Rite of Descent.

The ritual failed; Ruka lost her memory, and Sakuya fell into a coma... But that day, Sakuya awoke... becoming a being that should never have existed.

The disappearances and deaths eight years ago were all products of Sōya's obsession. With the Lunar Eclipse approaching, how can she end this tragedy? How can she atone for her father's sins?
