Detailed Walkthrough
Reaching Delesyia
Travel to the capital city of Delesyia. To gain entry through the castle gate, you must be wearing the Visione Helmet. Equip it before approaching the gate; the guards will allow passage once they recognize the helmet.
Reading the Memory Fragment
Once inside Delesyia, access the Visione Helmet's memory feature. Hold the D-Pad left to open the armor selection menu, then use R1/RB to navigate to the Visione Helmet in the top right corner. Select it to open the memory fragment selection screen. Choose the Delesyia tab, then under "Recollections" view the Visione memory entry. A recording of Marni will play, revealing the helmet's true nature and completing the quest.
Lore Significance
The Visione helmet was not simply a recording device. Through this quest, Kliff discovers that the helmet was designed to read and collect the emotions and thoughts of its wearer. This allowed its creator to understand the principles of human behavior. The revelation implies that Kliff's experiences throughout the entire journey were being observed and catalogued, adding a new layer of meaning to the events of the main story.
