All Lacrimosa locations in Neverness to Everness Long Dream Event
Moby-Dick Bookstore, Nacupeda Park
The first encounter takes place inside the Moby-Dick Bookstore located near the intersection of Davidia Avenue and Onion Road, north of Nacupeda Park. Enter the bookstore and you’ll find Lacrimosa reading manga among the shelves. This is one of the easiest locations to reach and serves as the starting point for most players participating in the event.
Origami Market
Head to the northern side of Origami Market and look for the vending machine area along the circular roadway. Lacrimosa can be found standing nearby. Interacting with her here also unlocks the Jelly Belly achievement, making this stop worth completing as early as possible.
Bureau of Anomaly Control (BAC)
Teleport to the Bureau of Anomaly Control and make your way toward the upper floor near the CSU staircase and lounge area. Lacrimosa can be found resting on a couch, disguised among the furniture. This interaction additionally rewards the Once Upon a Dream achievement.
Bluegaze Campground
Travel to Bluegaze Campground in the Unheard Shores region. From the campsite, climb toward the elevated cliff overlooking the surrounding landscape. Lacrimosa appears relaxing on a cloud-like resting spot near the viewpoint. The scenic location makes this one of the more memorable encounters in the event.
Kyllene Promenade
Near Kyllene Promenade, start from the nearby ReroRero Phone Booth and move south along the promenade path. Lacrimosa can be spotted sleeping inside her coffin outside a building. Some players have also reported alternative nearby appearances around Saint Torres Avenue, though only one interaction is required for event progress.
Caltrop Lake Station
The sixth location is located in Miguel District at Caltrop Lake Station. After teleporting to the station, walk toward the vending machine area. Lacrimosa is waiting nearby and can be interacted with immediately. This is one of the fastest event checkpoints to complete.
Yuanmu Hill
Head to Yuanmu Hill in New Herland District and locate the southern observation platform overlooking the amusement park area. Near the railing, you’ll discover Lacrimosa in coffin form. The elevated viewpoint makes the location fairly easy to identify once you reach the hill.
Sunward Island
The final Lacrimosa location is on Sunward Island. Begin from the local ReroRero Phone Booth and follow the eastern pathway. You’ll eventually find an Anomaly Bureau vehicle parked nearby, with Lacrimosa sitting on top of it. Interacting with her completes the eighth and final encounter for The Long Dream event.

The Long Dream event gradually unlocks clues over several days, but players discovered that Lacrimosa is already present at all eight locations from the beginning. This means you can visit every location immediately and collect all available rewards without waiting for future clue releases.
Complete your Long Dream journey before Version 1.1 ends
The Long Dream is one of the simplest yet most rewarding activities in NTE Version 1.1. Since every encounter only requires a quick conversation with Lacrimosa, you can finish the entire event in a short session while collecting a substantial amount of Annulith and progression materials. If you’re looking to maximize Version 1.1 rewards, finding all eight Lacrimosa locations should be one of your first priorities.
