The Mind of a Long-Dead God (Guide)

Early MYN Content and Onwards

Getting Here

To get here, you must raise Stormy-Eyed to 19 and Having Recurring Dreams: What the Thunder Said to 15. This will make the storylet The Thunder Takes Me Away available anywhere in London.

HRD:WtTS can only be gained through the relevant dreams cards. See Dreams (Guide) for details. Once HRD:WtTS reaches 18 the first time, you can play the card Who is the Third That Walks Always Beside you? to gain Stormy-Eyed

Once you have Stormy-Eyed, the HRD:WtTS dream cards will have options that will raise it. Alternatively, you can grind it out at Mutton Island with I bid the wind speak once you have it. See Time Passing on Mutton Island (Guide) for full details, but it amounts to 0.81 CP/Action over 16 actions.

General

There's not too much to do in The Mind of a Long-Dead God, but most of it revolves around gaining Dangerous and Shadowy CP, or gaining Aeolian Scream while lowering your Stormy-Eyed. If you come here at exactly 19 Stormy-Eyed and you fail every action, it will take 38 actions to escape, generating 380 CP of stats in the process, or 38 screams.
