Chaos Zero Nightmare Flame That Illuminates Memories is Blazebell’s story event, available after the 11 November 2026 maintenance until the 2 December maintenance. You need Captain Level 35 to take part, and the story is set after Galactic Disaster Season 5 Chapter 2, episode 11, Return.
Don’t expect to clear Blazebell’s story in one sitting on launch day. The Prologue and First Memory are available at the start; Second Memory and Last Memory open one per day afterwards. Each chapter moves through story, mission and Memory Illumination, where you hold the screen to reveal hidden memories.
How to unlock Chaos Zero Nightmare Flame That Illuminates Memories
You need Captain Level 35 to take part. The story is set after Galactic Disaster Season 5 Chapter 2, episode 11, Return. Smilegate describes that story placement but doesn’t explicitly say completing the episode is a separate unlock condition, so use the requirement shown on your event banner if it doesn’t open.
Open the event from its banner once you’re eligible. The Prologue and First Memory become available when the event opens. The Second Memory and Last Memory are staggered, with one further memory opening per day, so don’t expect all the stages to be available immediately after maintenance.
The event closes before the maintenance on 2 December. If you’ve left it until late in the run, look at the current stage availability and any remaining reward claims in the actual event menu. The patch text does not promise that unclaimed rewards can be collected after the closing maintenance.
How the Memory Illumination mechanic works
Each memory follows the order Story, Mission and Memory Illumination. During the illumination section, press and hold the screen to ignite a flame. Moving that light across the ruined mindscape reveals traces of the past that would otherwise remain hidden.
If a memory is hard to find, tap View Hint to see its location. Keep the flame over the hidden area briefly rather than tapping at random. Once you’ve found everything in an illumination stage, you can enter Place of Memories to review what you uncovered.
Once illumination is complete, the Place of Memories becomes available for reviewing what you’ve uncovered and the records left behind. This makes the event partly an exploration puzzle, not simply a series of combat encounters. The exact positions of hidden memories vary by stage and shouldn’t be guessed from the event description.
Prologue, First Memory, Second Memory and Last Memory
The First and Second Memories each finish with a battle beside Blazebell aboard a train in the mindscape. The Last Memory ends with the epilogue story called Embers. That sequence matters if you’re following a mission that asks for a particular memory, since the final stage cannot be completed until its unlock day.
It’s worth clearing each available chapter before waiting for the next unlock. That keeps you caught up on the story and stops the final days of the event turning into a rush through multiple memories. The Arkhianon Supply season missions also include an objective connected with completing Last Memory: Embers.
Chaos Zero Nightmare Flame That Illuminates Memories event rewards

Chaos Zero Nightmare Flame That Illuminates Memories puzzle tips
Check whether the next chapter is still time-locked before assuming you’ve missed a quest. If you’re in an illumination stage, remember to hold the flame over the hidden shape and use View Hint rather than tapping randomly. If the stage wants a battle, complete the story and mission parts leading up to it.
The main deadlines for Chaos Zero Nightmare Flame That Illuminates Memories are the daily chapter unlocks and the 2 December maintenance. Finish Last Memory to earn its Core of Annihilation, then complete the other missions if you want the A Promise Toward the Future sticker.
