Orion's Epilogue Quest
On June 16, 2026, The Void Within plot concluded with the release of an epilogue. The epilogue of The Void Within is a mini plot that will always be available to players. It begins with Orion waking up and having a discussion with his half-possessed self. Help Orion fix his lyre by collecting magical strings.
To figure out where the strings are located, you will be introduced to a game of Tarot cards.
Orion will only use 22 Major Arcana cards. You will be shown two cards, one which you can see and the other which is hidden. You have to guess whether the hidden card is higher or lower than the one shown. If you guess correctly, you must guess whether the next card is higher or lower than the previous card. If you guess incorrectly, you lose. You can still continue playing until you get three wins in a row.
Every game is four rounds of "card reading" and you will earn an item prize, as well as a special riddle to help find the lyre strings.
If you make an incorrect guess, you will start your rounds over.
Once you've done the full three rounds of the game, you will receive a prize and riddle.
You must play this game an overall of four times to receive all four riddles and proceed with the epilogue.
Each riddle will lead you somewhere around Neopia to complete. Click the spoilers below to see how to answer each riddle.
Riddle #1
The ocean never settles, for the moon is forever pulling at the tides. But there is a moment, within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky. Between the beat of old and new an inquiry for the tranquillity of the ever-moving waves may be granted if within the hallowed walls. But a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars.
Answer: Visit the Lunar Temple between 12:00:00 AM NST and 12:59:59 AM NST.
Riddle #2
Even the most solid of foundations can shake and crack, for the ground all walk upon is not as calm as it appears. There is no anger within the rumbling, simply an energy forever seeking an escape; a run without the race, a fight without a brawl. So quake the earth with the strength of a thousand, but only destroy if an even match.
Answer: Score 1,000 or higher in Destruct-o-Match III (HTML5 version).
Riddle #3
To capture the breath of the land is a nigh on impossible feat. The patience it takes would drive many to their wits' end. Only those who can stare into the depths for days and return with favour may know what it takes. However, even then, repetition is key for they must lure in a success times three.
Answer: Successfully go fishing at Ye Olde Fishing Vortex for three days.
Riddle #4
It would take a tetrad of the brightest minds traversing the stars four millennia to grasp even a quarter of the secrets the ever-expanding universe holds. And yet, acquiring its power is simple. For it is not about how far one goes, but about what they can truly acquire in their travels.
Answer: Have 4 items with the word space in its name in your inventory.
Completing each of the first set of riddles will show a secondary riddle.
riddle #1
It's appeared somewhere under a great, swirling pressure. The very essence around it appears to be boiling within a deep darkness.
Answer: Visit the Bubbling Pit.
Powerful waves of water crash around a single string.
Waves seem to swell in every direction, making it almost impossible to keep an eye on the string within. But the right steps were taken to quell its power, and as Orion wades through the tide, the string floats peacefully right to him.
riddle #2
There is not a lick of moisture where it has appeared due to the intense heat all around. However, despite the lack of water, its force feels fully submerged.
Answer: Visit the Magma Pool.
Powerful earthquakes shake around a single string.
The ground cracks, and magma bubbles around the red-hot string that somehow doesn't burn within the lava. But the right steps were taken to quell its power, and the string instantly cools as Orion braves the heat to pick it up.
riddle #3
It feels as though it has appeared in a place one can not easily reach. So far up that it's almost in the sky itself, and yet there is very little sun as echoes bounce around it.
Answer: Visit the Mysterious Negg Cave.
Powerful gusts of wind blow around a single string.
The wind whips in every direction, and the string moves so fast that it could cut through anything in its path. But the right steps were taken to quell its power, and so it slowly but surely falls into Orion's palm.
riddle #4
There is only the vacuum of nothingness all around. But, there is still somehow a steely presence nearby where it has appeared.
Answer: Visit the Kreludan Mining Corp.
Powerful gamma waves emit around a single string.
A vortex of radiation bounces off the string as it swirls through space, making it practically impossible to get close. But the right steps were taken to quell its power, and Orion is able to safely catch it.
Once the second part of the riddles are completed, you will earn a prize and the strings you need for the lyre.
Ah, my poor, sweet Lyre. You've been through so much. Now that you've regained some of your past strength, though, I can tell you're excited to get back out there!
Okay, Orion, you should be able to face my old friend now. No need to fret about learning the song, the Lyre knows what to play. All you'll need to do is keep up, and you should be fine! But if you do mess up, just umm be sure to run!
Or at the very least, throw my dear Lyre to safety before you get eaten.
Find this "friend" to continue.
The "friend" that you will be finding is none other than a beast. Head on over to the Lair of the Beast and enter the cave.
First, enter the cave, and then climb the rope. You will then choose to enter the darkness.
You will see a black screen where a small lyre will float. You must click on the lyre fives times in a row to proceed. If you miss the lyre, you need to wait until midnight where the lyres reset.
Once you click all five lyres, you can approach the Lair Beast.
Without a word, Orion starts walking out of the cave, never taking his eyes off the strange thing in his hands.
You'll have to meet back up with him to learn more about what it is you just found.
The locket is an item that will automatically be placed in your inventory.

You will see the following to know that you've finished the epilogue quest:
Another anchor and I grow stronger,
More power added to my roster.
Now as if an echoing chorus from the pews,
I hear my name the worldly Muse,
My dear Orion, as we grow closer still,
I can feel the world resonate with my will.
Those like me wish to stop this,
and yet they hide in the abyss.
Let me show what they want to stay hidden,
this goes far beyond just one villain.
