This place where you once ignited your trailblazing journey now veils itself in new mysteries. Treasure chests waiting to be unlocked, Aether Spirits lurking around corners, and formidable Challengers lie in ambush.

As you journey deeper into the Victory Zone, you're confronted with a myriad of tasks, from deciphering cryptic treasure maps to decoding bizarre hints in unlikely places like a circle of toilets. It's a test of wit, observation, and perseverance and one that will culminate in an exciting encounter with a familiar sassy character.
Before embarking on 'Battle of Wits! Herta Space Station!' ensure you have successfully completed all preceding quests in the 'Aetherium Wars' event, specifically the 'Onward! Cloudford!' quest. Only then will this new challenge be unlocked.
After initiating the quest, a quest marker will direct you to Herta Space Station, unlocking access to the Herta Space Station Victory Zone.
Upon arriving at the Herta Space Station Victory Zone, you're immediately greeted by Giovanni. After some dialogue, Herta tasks you with retrieving Treasure Maps from various service robots across the space station, hinting they're essential to the next phase of the quest. March 7th swiftly spots a potential service robot, nudging you both to pursue the quest's next step.
During your journey through the Herta Space Station Victory Zone, you are tasked with locating the elusive Wubbaboos concealed in seriously crafty spots. To locate each one, you'll need to solve Treasure Map puzzles provided to you by various service robots in the vicinity.
While the Treasure Maps will picture the Wubbaboos' exact locations, getting to these spots won't be straightforward.
Most of the Aether Spirits youll encounter in this Victory Zone will be Abherrant Type (purple). Youll benefit from including Mechanical Types (blue) on your team. Try adding in the Spirits you recruited from the Cloudford Victory Zone, such as the Aurumaton Gatekeeper and Entranced Ingenium: Illumination Dragonfish.
Navigate to the eastern portion of the map. There, in the distance, you'll spot a Voidranger: Reaver Aether Spirit in a kneeling posture. To reach this foe, you're tasked with solving a floor tile puzzle called the lucent passageway.
Move left into the teleportation black hole, which will transport you to the other side. Once there, activate the tiles in a 'U' formation.
Keep in mind that this puzzle boasts multiple solutions, so feel free to plot your own course.
After reaching the other side and defeating the Aether Spirit, continue in the room right next to you, where youll find the first Wubbaboo. Talk to the Wubbaboo to acquire the Elevator Encryption Key, which is what youll need to find the rest of the Wubbaboos (located on the next floor).
After reaching the Storage Zone First Floor with the Elevator Encryption Key, talk to the floating service robot positioned in front of you. Upon interaction, it bestows upon you Treasure Map No. 1. Revealing its contents, you're presented with a peculiar clue: a circle of toilets.
Follow the quest marker which will lead you on a winding path towards the west side of the map, where youll also have the opportunity to take on and recruit a new Aether Spirit, the Voidranger: Eliminator.
After duking it out in a few battles (including one with a Drowsy Player), youll find yourself in a room with a circle of toilets in the middle. Referring back to the Treasure Map, sit on the toilet thats directly on the left side of the open tablet screen.
After a brief black screen, youll be whisked away to a new location, greeted by a friendly Wubbaboo wholl offer you your first Championship Contender Pass, along with Treasure Map No. 2.
The second Treasure Map will depict a Wubbaboo surrounded by floating paper cranes.
Starting from where you obtained Treasure Map No. 2, there are rooms flanking each side. Walk into the room on the right (which will lead you to the east side of the Space Station. Activate the controller to materialize a transparent bridge thatll let you proceed, and keep walking straight.
Pass by the room with the toilets and the Drowsy Player, and eventually youll reach the area depicted in the second Treasure Map: a room with a formation of paper cranes.
One corner will be conspicuously empty, requiring you to locate the missing piece. The missing paper crane is deeper in the same room, on the other end of a lucent passageway, similar to the one you did at the start for the Elevator Encryption Key. While this puzzle offers a tad more challenge, it remains navigable.
Step on the first tile, move one tile right and forward, then turn and walk straight for three tiles. Next to the teleportation void, enter to emerge on the pathway's opposite end. Traverse the tiles in a wide 'U' pattern to activate them, and voil.
Now that youre on the other side, pursue the lone paper crane. Itll begin teleporting in the direction of the other floating paper cranes, and once it settles in the correct position with the rest of its paper brethren, another Wubbaboo will present itself, giving you your second Championship Contender Pass, and Treasure Map No. 3.
The third and final Treasure Map depicts a dimly lit room filled with artifacts, relics and a Wubbaboo! If youre keen-eyed, youll realize your next destination lies in the northeast of the Victory Zone map, in the room where Herta stores all her mysterious curios.
Start heading back in the direction you came, but make a slight turn into a command room. Go through it, and exit through the left door and keep running, sticking towards the left side when it comes to split paths. On the way youll encounter several Voidranger Aether Spirits - either run past them or clear them out.
Keep running until you come across a staircase and a large entranceway with another Aether Spirit in plain view. Walk up the stairs, get past the Aether Spirit, and go left until you enter the room depicted in Treasure Map No. 3.
The key to solving this Treasure Map Puzzle will be to shift the items between the pedestals until the arrangement matches that shown in the Treasure Map. Take the Crackup Conch and move it to the display at the end of the room, then take Total Eclipse of the Heart and place it at the Crackup Conchs previous spot.
Once completed, yet another Wubbaboo will grace your presence, triggering a cutscene and presenting you with last Championship Contender Pass you needed.
After securing all three Championship Contender Passes, return to the stairway entrance and head in the opposite direction from before. Use your passes to unlock the door, leading you straight to the 'Demon Lord,' Herta.
Equip your Aurumaton Gatekeeper with the Saturated Activation Chip. This will regenerate 3 Energy for your Gatekeeper at the start of each battle, letting it activate its trump card Sanction Mode immediately. This will greatly increase its stats and also summon 2 Entranced Ingenium: Illumination Dragonfish (super effective against the majority of Hertas Aether Spirits).
After your successful battle in the Victory Zone, Herta graciously hands over the Mastery Mark. This symbolizes the conclusion of the Victory Zone challenge, but there's more to be done.
To truly mark the challenge as completed, a formidable foe awaits: the Voidranger: Trampler Overlord Aether Spirit, located on the initial floor. Defeating and recruiting this spirit is essential if youre looking to complete your metaphorical Aether Spirit Pokdex.
Before finishing 'Battle of Wits! Herta Space Station!' you'll make one last stop at the Goethe Hotel for a meeting with Wilder. After some backstory, March 7th and the Aether Spirit prompts Wilder to suggest you continue your journey with the spirit.
