The Orion Sub-quest (that began on 4/30/2024) is to find "anomalies" throughout Neopia. The anomaly could be in one of the following locations each day. Based on the dialog, there might be 8 days of these, but we shall see.
In the correct location for the day, you should see a foot or tail (or...?) on one side of the screen, similar to finding Raina in the advent calendar for the last few years. Click on it...
The possible locations are:
The Bakery The Crumpetmonger Lost Desert Foods Merifoods Molten Morsels Mystery Island Volcano Qasalan Delights Tyrannian Foods...Once you click on the tail/foot/??, a popup will indicate how many locations are left to find. Go back to the Festival hub and click on Orion. If he mentions a need to rest, then you are caught up for the day.
Orion 1st day text:
Finding the weird thing: I don't know what just happened, but my visions are a bit more clear! It seems like there are now only 7 places around Neopia flashing before my eyes. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: So you saw something strange around the same time my visions got slightly clearer? But you didn't get a good look at it? Okay, well, that is something to work off of! Keep an eye out for more; maybe we can figure out how it's all connected!
Orion 2nd day text:
Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 6 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: Hmm, so the strange thing is some sort of creature but it disappeared before you could get too close? Well, I suppose it's only a theory at this point but this seems connected. Maybe try and figure out if there is any sort of connection between the places it shows up.
Orion 3rd day text:
Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 5 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: Okay, this strange creature you keep seeing has to be connected to my visions. It seems like each time you chase it away my visions dwindle. It's almost as if the creature is being chased away for good. But why would it go there in the first place?
Orion 4th day text:
Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 4 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: It seems like this creature appears in warm places, often at places that have food as well. That doesn't narrow it down too much, but it is certainly something! Keep up the good work!
Orion 5th day text:
Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 3 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: The visions of places around Neopia are too hectic for me to really take in, no matter the number. Yet, one place is getting clearer and clearer as we progress. Perhaps, once we eliminate all the other locations, I'll be able to make sense of it all.
Orion 6th day text:
Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 2 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: I can't help but think that this creature is lost or something...maybe once we figure out what is going on we can help it. For now, though, we are almost there, I can feel it!
Orion 7th day text:
Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 1 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: These visions have taken a lot out of me, but I get the sense that this is all for something important. Please keep searching a little bit longer!
Orion 8th day text:
Finding the weird thing: Great job! Things are still very confusing, but it's all becoming clearer! Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps!
Back at the hub: Thank you for all your hard work! It seems like my visions followed the creature wherever it went, I wonder how it travelled so fast. But I suppose it must be done moving now, as most of the visions have stopped. I know we may be short on time, but I need a little while alone to hone in on what is left! Please come back soon, and I'll have more information, I promise!
9th day:
Orion: Now that the visions have calmed down, the original one of lava returned. And this time, much stronger. I was able to play the Lyre to intensify it for myself and saw what looked like a crevasse next to a very tall building.
This is the last time I'll ask this of you I promise, but could you please take a look around anywhere that may fit this description and report back to me if you find anything?
Visiting
Moltara and clicking near the base of the Moltara Obsidian Company nets a pop-up:
You enter a small, newly formed crevasse at the base of the building, and find a sort of cave at the bottom. It seems like this cavern must have been sealed up before the crack formed. Inside you discover a rather large petpet asleep by the flowing lava. Better bring it back to Orion to see if this has anything to do with his vision!
After completing Scene 8, this shows up:
