Different and the same
The Pioneer is preparing for another hyperspace jump, but something strange happens: a new face appears among the Nameless. The girl introduces herself Constance "Dahlia"The crew members claim that the stranger has been traveling with them the entire time, which raises even more questions.
When consciousness begins to “float away,” it intervenes Elio's follower, Kafka, and reminds us of Finality. The mysterious figure, frustrated that her powers have no effect on Kelus/Stella, makes another attempt to become part of his/her memories. However, after another failure, she takes direct action: she brings the Pathfinder into her "heart" to reveal the true motive behind her actions. Georgina's task is to restore everything connected to Finality, to save the future of the cosmos.
Non-existent cavalry
Memories of the dream planet are jumbled, some fragments are completely lost. To restore them, we'll have to revisit familiar pages of history. The first— Firefly: Infiltration of Penakonia.
SAM cannot restore the ability to see dreams, and therefore enters dreams only with the help of Silver Wolf's colleaguesEven though the Pioneer has forgotten, the girl is willing to sacrifice much to keep the promise of reunification. Even warnings about the Family's boundless power cannot deter Firefly, so, ready to face the clan representatives face to face, she passes through the primary memory zone without fear or hesitation.
Thus, the memories push her into unexpected encounters with the illusions left over from the Swarm Invasion and with the Iron Cavalryman Glathiramer AR-214.

The moment before my death
Part 5 - Robin: Exploring the Past of the Dream Lord.
В Reef of the Dream Stream The "huntress" and Constance team up with Robin and learn that the Dream Lord personally killed AR-214 to create paradise through the Proliferation. His evil plans don't end there, but the investigation itself is coming to an end due to the emergence of Black Swan.
A follower of the Garden of Memories reveals the true identity of her former colleague and sworn enemy: the demoness is an accomplice of Gopher Tree, using her unique abilities to pose as allies of various factions and betray them after achieving their goals.
Before SAM can react, Georgina teleports her to another location. Robin, though saved, will soon lose her memories of her encounter with Cremator. So, along with Black Swan, Constance, still playing, sets off for Dreams of rotten oaks, where he burns the Law and thus once again betrays the Lord of Dreams himself, that is, another ally.
A sign among the trees
Parts 6, 7, 8 and 9 - Sparkle: The Truth About Rotting Oak Dreams | Ready to Blast и Firefly: Meeting an Ally | Uncovering the Dream Lord's Conspiracy.
Following a clue from a klutz, SAM finds one of the Laws left behind by Gopher Tree and joins the investigation into the conspiracy. At the end of her journey, she discovers the Cocoon of Annihilation, where the Swarm Invasion is brewing. The villain's plan is to recreate the insane tragedy—thus, the dream-dwellers will call upon the Order and resurrect Aeon Enu.
Choose the path to take next 1
In the Dreamstream Reef, examine the doll and enlist Twilight's help. Then head to the northern zone of the new location and uncover the truth hidden by the former head of the Family. Follow the linear path until you reach a dead end. Then, spin the device and recreate the path to the two statues.
Here you'll be presented with a fork in the road: choose the right or left path (red or blue arrow). Both paths will lead to the same destination. The only difference is in the lines Law III will speak to SAM.
Find the mosaic fragments and assemble the Dream Mosaic
Investigate the Dream Lord's conspiracy and ascend to the upper level of the area. Here, pick up the mosaic fragment hovering above the statue's palm, then return to the puzzle and solve it.
Choose the path to take next 2
Continuing forward, you'll reach the Eye of Dreams and another fork in the road. After activating the device, follow the L-shaped path and choose the direction for the module:
- one turn — the road of Distribution;
- two turns — the path of lies of Harmony.
As in the first case, this choice will not lead to any differences in the Finality story campaign. SAM will encounter the Swarm Invasion under any circumstances; the only differences are in the lines of Act III.

Meanwhile, the klutz blows up Penakonia so the Nameless can meet with follower of Order, Sunday.
How to defeat Death Harbinger: Swarm Terror
Harbinger of Death: The Swarm Terror is the primary enemy in the Finality campaign, vulnerable to physical, fire, and wind. It deals fairly high damage and is supported by summoned creatures—Immature Stingbugs. Therefore, before the battle begins, it's important to put a healer or shielder in the squad.
- Due to the large number of enemies on the battlefield, the battle itself will be easier if the chosen hyper-carry's skill set consists of AoE abilities.
- After being summoned, Immature Stingers enter the "Accelerated Evolution" state: select a character (preferably the team's main damage dealer) to combat them. This will apply the "Nemesis" effect to the hero, allowing him to ignore "Accelerated Evolution" when dealing critical damage.
- Tactics for a quick victory - Breaking through the boss's durability: Once you lower the white bar to 0, you will be able to inflict great damage and remove a large percentage of the enemy's HP in the shortest possible time.
After the battle with the Harbinger of Death and short cut-scenes, another story battle will begin - this time the main opponent will be Sunday, Fruit of PhilosophyThe squad will consist of members of the Star Express crew: coordinator Himeko, mentor Welt, Nameless March 7 и spearman Dan HengThe battle can be completed in automatic mode: the heroes' superpowers will charge automatically and a powerful R-skill will be offered.

Unfortunately, this is not destined to happen: the incident triggers the "hunter's" entropy loss syndrome, and she begins to fade before their eyes.
In the end, using the power of Completion, the Pathfinder slightly alters the past to spare his friend her regrets—thus filling in the final "gap" in her memory of the events on the planet of celebrations.
