Exhale the Past / Inhale the Future Blacktail Quest
Group: Main Story
Season: Spring
Forced out of her village, accused of an unholy alliance with Baba the Witch, Yaga set out on a quest to find her sister and friends.
A mysterious voice led her to the Hut, the domain of a gracious Black Cat. Inside, events unimaginable transpired. Putting Yaga’s mask on an unknown idol spawned a trail of crumbs. Having followed it, she found a disturbing yet familiar doll.
As she touched it, a vision was bestowed upon her – a vision of an abominable monster taking someone’s life...
Having relived a part of her past, she now understood the truth. Dragoy had been murdered by Baba soon after Yaga had made her desperate escape, three years ago.
She awakened in a familiar place – by the Red Oak she had sought all this time. And yet, Zora was nowhere to be found. There was still something more afoot...

Objectives of Exhale the Past / Inhale the Future
1. Get to the Red Oak
When you regain control of your character then just move forward (you will be slowed down) and after a while you will reach the red oak tree.
2. Confront the Faceless Idol
Interact with the faceless idol and choose how you want to use the shelloks you managed to collect during the mini-game.
Let your past tip the scales.
The SHELLOKS you collected during the flashback sequence will go toward the morality aspect of your choosing.
Choose wisely.
3. Bring the mask to the Hut
There was an ancient idol by the tree. She felt judged, but it was unclear by whom. Another mask emerged on the idol’s face. Once again, she felt... secure.
She remembered the path had opened the last time she pressed her mask against the idol in the Hut. And although how exactly her fate was intertwined with the land was not yet clear, she knew what she had to do. The Hut held many questions, but their answers lay there as well.
At this point, the ability to use Blink Idols will be unlocked. Simply shoot the idol to leap toward it. This way you will get to the other side of the ravine. Then return to the hut.
4. Press the Seal
The Hut seemed unsettlingly welcoming. Yaga felt that a revelation awaited upstairs. It was time to press the mask against the Faceless Idol.
Simply climb the stairs to the upper floor of the hut.
After completing Exhale the Past / Inhale the Future you will get or will be able to get Story Repeating Itself.
