Open Sorcery: Sea++: Firefighter & Across the Universe achievements

Every mote in the game is valuable and there’s a limited amount of them. In this walkthrough I tried to collect as many as possible and spend as little as possible.
Basically, for the achievement you need 5 motes of each: Water, Dark, Light, Fire, Earth, Air (or Suffero() instead of Air) to impart all the prophecies. I’d say the Earth is the hardest, especially if you are on a Nightmare route.
If you feel like you’re very close to collecting all of them, you can use this guide by searching for the motes you need. Search “Earth” on this page, for example, and you’ll see all the locations where I collected some Earth (and all the locations I used it since sometimes it’s unavoidable, at least on a nightmare route). Don’t forget that you can exchange motes 5:1 in Olympus.

If you want to obtain the “Firefighter” achievement without using this step-by-step guide from the very start, here are my tips for that:
— you have to be on the Nightmare route (meaning you have the Nightmare() spell);
— even if you are on a nightmare route, it doesn’t mean you should be cruel af. In this guide, my friends are Peep, Octopus, Mathias & Susan. The last two are quite crucial for The Mind part;
— finish the race first & with intact health if possible;
— impart all the prophecies (you can kill BAL/E without it, but it will be harder);
— feed your anger everything you can and a bit more (you can find a feeding guide here, made by Puffles);
— you can return to the Web and heal yourself a bit if you haven’t used those options already (Lost Soul’s Diner, The One Below);
— you can bring more than one of your friends/relatives to The Pier.

In this guide I don’t post solutions to memory assemblies. If it’s your second playthrough (if not the third), you can use Speed Mode for that, just turn it on in the General Options. Or you can use this excellent guide made by Velorien.
For directions I use NSWE (North South West East), feel free to use keyboard arrows for this (I somehow missed this on my first playthrough)
Once again, there are huge spoilers, shortcuts & no explanations for them, so it’s not recommended for the first playthrough.
