Vessel of Mediocrity (Part 2) is an Adventure Mission that uncovers more secrets behind the tragedy that befell Cyrille, a Mysterious Child who you first meet in the Backwater Pass. While she remains a ghost of Belobog's dark history, the second installment of her Mission will shed more light on what transpired once upon a time. I thought that the puzzles in this quest were a little trickier than the first, but I broke down all the steps below to walk you through how to complete them from start to end.
