Introduction
Touhou LostWord’s third event is almost upon us, and you know what that means: Another pre-event! This time, it seems Marisa Kirisame's in training to be a...detective? Sure, she's looking rather fashionable, but I'm not sure if she quite looks like a detective - but still, her new outfit's yours to earn for free! This guide will walk you through exactly what you need to earn that outfit - and a host of goodies, besides. No mysteries to solve here, just a bunch of tasks to do. Do keep in mind you do not need to own Marisa to unlock this outfit - but uh. You probably should own Marisa, unless you Parted Ways with her or something. You wouldn't do that to your favorite magician who's got your back, would you!?
Like the previous pre-events, Marisa-detective in training is a series of time-gated missions, which you can check from the missions menu. There are two different types of missions: those which unlock daily, and can be completed in sequential order at your leisure, and those which expire daily. Missions are unlocked at the same time daily for all players - so if you start working on the pre-events, say, 8 days from when it starts, you can blast through it all at once.
If all you want to do is unlock Marisa's new costume: What you will need to do is complete the “Clear Stages” missions. These unlock in sequential order, and will involve stages from Chapter 1, and Chapter 2 Act 1. These missions will need to be completed on Normal difficulty, and are not retroactive - even if you’ve already finished the stage, you must complete it again once you have the mission for it to count. If you start late and only see one mission, don't fret: they unlock in sequential order, so each time you complete the current mission, you'll unlock the next one, up to the currently available one for all players. You'll obtain Marisa's outfit once you clear the final mission: additionally, you’ll also obtain some skill books and tile pieces along the way.
If you want the full rewards, you’ll also need to complete the other missions, which are spread into the two different types.
For the time-limited missions: Once per day, you will need to log in and win 30 battles total - these missions expire at daily reset, and do not carry over, so if you miss a day, you lose out on those missions. Completing these missions will give you scrolls, tiles, incense wood, and skill books.
For the other missions: These missions are unlocked daily for the entire playerbase, so if you start late, you effectively get a new copy of the mission each time you complete the current copy. They’re split into four different missions: Completing 3 Errands, finishing training in the dojo once, providing the school with food once, and using 500 Spirit P in battle. Completing these missions will grant scrolls, skill books, and wagashi (school food).
All in all, this pretty much just boils down to logging in, and playing the game.
