Editing The Mind of a Long-Dead God (Guide)

{{GuideFor|Location=The Mind of a Long-Dead God}}{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=yes}}[[Has icon::File:Delirium.png|right]]

==Getting Here==
To get here, you must raise {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}} to 19 and {{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: What the Thunder Said}} to 15. This will make the storylet [[The Thunder Takes Me Away]] available anywhere in London. 

{{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: What the Thunder Said|Appearance=HRD:WtTS}} can only be gained through the relevant dreams cards. See [[Dreams (Guide)#What the Thunder Said|Dreams (Guide)]] for details. Once {{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: What the Thunder Said|Appearance=HRD:WtTS}} reaches 18 the first time, you can play the card [[Who is the Third That Walks Always Beside you?]] to gain {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}}

Once you have {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}}, the {{IL|Having Recurring Dreams: What the Thunder Said|Appearance=HRD:WtTS}} dream cards will have options that will raise it. Alternatively, you can grind it out at {{IL|Mutton Island}} with [[I bid the wind speak]] once you have it. See [[Time Passing on Mutton Island (Guide)#Stormy-Eyed Strategy|Time Passing on Mutton Island (Guide)]] for full details, but it amounts to 0.76 CP/Action over 17 actions.

==General==
There's not too much to do in {{IL|The Mind of a Long-Dead God}}, but most of it revolves around gaining {{IL|Dangerous}} and {{IL|Shadowy}} CP, or gaining {{IL|Aeolian Scream}} while lowering your {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}}. If you come here at exactly 19 {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}} and you fail every action, it will take 38 actions to escape, generating 380 CP of stats in the process, or 38 screams.

===Other Options===
* With {{IL|Seeking Mr Eaten's Name}} 3, there is a foolish choice of [[But I am one of them]] on [[I Demand Appeasement!]] that lowers your stats and raises {{IL|Nightmares}}.
* If you wish to get out as fast as possible, [[I Will Ask a Friend for Help]] is a social action that will get -20CP {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}} as long as you have at least {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}} 6.
**The fate option [[I will Pay the Price]] for 5 {{FontFate}} will also quickly eject you with -50CP {{IL|Stormy-Eyed}}, and also raise Dangerous and Shadowy by +35CP Each. 
*The {{IL|Renown: Urchins}} 40 item can be found here in [[A Light to Bright the Dark]].
