🏛️Ancient Artifacts Enter the Gothic Manor
When the treasures of the Palace Museum awaken in Oletus Manor, a chase across time and space begins—free skins, artifact furniture, and story puzzles—this collaboration seamlessly integrates the essence of Chinese culture into the asymmetric battle world.
The ninth season of Oletus Manor has brought a cultural collision spanning thousands of years. On September 25, the collaboration between Identity V and the Palace Museum Guantang officially began, integrating elements of the Palace Museum’s artifacts into the Gothic horror world of the game.
This collaboration not only introduces rare skins inspired by "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and the "Gilt-Copper Clock with Rural Scenes" but also offers a wealth of free rewards and immersive storyline activities. The event will run until October 22, providing nearly a month of cultural immersion for players.
👗 Crossover Skins & In-Game Store Content
The highlight of this collaboration is two rare skins. The Feaster transforms into "Scroll of a Thousand Miles," inspired by the Palace Museum’s treasure, A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. The accompanying accessory "Mountain River Boat" also draws from the artistic conception of this masterpiece.
Meanwhile, The Dancer receives the rare skin "Loomsong Awakening," recreating the exquisite mechanical aesthetics of the Palace Museum’s "Gilt-Copper Clock with Rural Scenes." Both skins are available for purchase in the store at a 30% discount.
Players can also purchase a special collaboration discount coupon, offering a savings of 888 Echoes on purchases over 2,888 Echoes. Those who pre-registered for the event can claim this coupon upon logging in, while others can buy it in the store for 60 Echoes.
In addition to the rare skins, the store also offers matching rare accessories—The Feaster’s "Mountain River Boat" and The Dancer’s "Key to Liberation," each priced at 1,888 Echoes.
🎁 Free Skins & Event Activities
Non-paying players also have the opportunity to obtain multiple collaboration skins. By completing the "Tracking the Landscape" storyline puzzles, players can earn The Antiquarian’s unique skin "Scroll Holder" for free.
Participating in the "Clockwork Mystery" storyline unlocks The Explorer’s "Clock Collector" skin. Both of these skins require no Echoes—just time and participation in the events.
During the event, players can earn event tokens called "Hometown Tickets" by completing matches or exploring storylines. These can be exchanged in the event store for The Painter’s rare skin "Sealed Chronicler."
Daily check-ins are another key way to earn rewards. Logging into the "Collection Overview" each day not only teaches players about the artifacts but also grants them trial cards for The Painter’s skin, avatar frames, and other rewards.
🏮 Artifact Furniture & Storyline Experience
The collaboration specially features an artifact display system. Players who complete the first day’s storyline exploration will receive the "Collection Display Cabinet" furniture, used to exhibit replicas of five Palace Museum artifacts in their "Manor of Recurrence."
These artifacts include digital replicas of precious items such as:Gold Cup with Jewelry Inlay,Painted Enamel Butterfly-shaped Box and Gilt Bronze Equatorial Sundial etc.
By collecting event tokens, players can also exchange for rare furniture like the "Red Sandalwood Frame with Enamel Five Ethics Pattern Screen" in the store. The public map shop offers limited-time furniture such as the "Simple Display Cabinet" and "Vase with Various Glazes."
In terms of storyline, "Tracking the Landscape" invites players to help The Antiquarian restore the original appearance of A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, while "Clockwork Mystery" tasks players with assisting the clocktower weaver in regaining her confidence. After completing all storyline puzzles, players not only receive skin rewards but can also unlock corresponding Manor of Recurrence music.
🗺️ Public Map & Mini-Program Events
The optimized public map "Mirage in the Oasis" makes a limited-time return, renamed "Ocean of Treasures." This map adds interactive features like the Mooncake Workshop and "Big Talk" Card Game, providing a richer cultural experience for players.
Beyond in-game activities, an official mini-program event has been launched. By completing tasks like trivia quizzes, photo check-ins, and creating artifact wallpapers, players can earn additional rewards such as collaboration character voiceovers and exclusive avatars.
The NetEase Cloud Game platform also supports this collaboration, allowing players to experience the game directly without downloading. Even those with lower-end devices can enjoy smooth gameplay, making the event accessible to more players.
🎉 Benefits & Login Rewards
During the collaboration, the game offers generous login rewards. Visitors can claim 10 Memory Spheres (Old Seasons) and 100 Clues just for logging in.
During holidays, daily check-ins offer additional rewards like Clues, Fragments, and Trial Cards. Activities such as "First Three Daily Matches," "Weekly Login," and "Rank Match x3" also enjoy double rewards.
Due to the National Day holiday, the next game maintenance is scheduled for October 11, giving players more uninterrupted time to enjoy the collaboration—a considerate arrangement for the holiday period.
In the corners of Oletus Manor, the green-and-blue landscape of The Feaster’s costume shimmers under the moonlight, while the ticking of The Dancer’s clock accessories intertwines with the sound of heartbeats. This is no longer just a battlefield for chasing—it’s a space for cultural exchange.
Players worldwide are sharing their collaboration experiences on social media, from the exquisite details of the Palace Museum artifacts to the clever design of the storyline puzzles. This collaboration transcends the game itself, becoming a cultural dialogue across time and space.
When millennia-old artifacts meet modern gaming, Chinese culture reaches the world in a brand new form—and every player becomes a participant and witness to this cultural journey. 🌟🎮
