swan lake stage 12
Complete Walkthrough
Welcome guys to Blue Moon Game’s Dress up! Time Princess Swan Lake stage 1 – 12 walkthrough. In this guide, we will continue following through the story of Princess Signy and her friends as the truly dark times have befallen them of late. Also, we will include our clothing item choices for the stage, including short tips on how to obtain recipes or items.
So far, the story has taken us through many emotional and action rollercoasters. We’ve met the ominous Owl Sorcerer, named Audwin, and we now know that he is the source of the curse placed upon Prince Aldous and his servants. However, Signy did not know that Audwin can assume the shape of another man.
Now, in the previous two stages, Signy has taken the fight to Audwin, sort to say. She actually went after him and has found his tower in the dark forest. She took a poisoned dagger with her with the intention of killing him since she knew he will be weakened after using so much of his powers last time, as Aldous told her.
However, as she had him in dead rights, Signy has had a few choices, or rather we had multiple branching paths in the previous stage 1-12. Of course, choosing to kill Audwin and making Signy a killer was the wrong one, as was quitting, so Signy had to try to convince him somehow.
She has managed to get under the sorcerer’s skin a few times, probing into his emotions a little. But, ultimately, Audwin’s shield of anger and darkness proved too thick and he sent Signy away, not budging. She went back to the castle and was unsure how to tell their friends that her plan has failed. That she had this one chance of protecting her kingdom and she failed.
As you can see, there are no special clothing requirements for Swan Lake stage 1- 12, but you do need to get Goodwill with Prince Aldous to Lv. 5. Aldous likes gifts with the Collectable and Tool traits, but don’t forget to use up any One-Tap Interactions if you have them. You will need a lot of experience to reach Lv. 5 from Lv. 4 (2370).
As always, the best gift for Aldous is the Silver Saddle, which awards 90 Goodwill experience. It is made from Metal + Fabric. However, you can also use the Rose Perfume (Spices + Water) and Hunting Musket (Metal + Wood), but Silver Saddle yields the highest amount of Goodwill exp. Gifting other items that have either Tool or Collectable designations will give too little to Aldous standing so it is not recommended that you waste them like this.
Stage 1-12 requires Noble and Formal clothing item traits. The hint recommends that you craft several clothing items and it is recommended that you do so to get the best possible result in the dress-up phase. The items are Unbending Will, Glorious Sunflower, Dazzling Freedom, Ringing Roses, Ode of Determination, Resilient Conviction, and Bold Steps. Most of these you already have from the story progress so far, but if you lack a recipe, visit the Parven’s Shop regularly to get it when it appears.
It is necessary to have a perfect score at the end of the stage in order to get all the rewards, including this Blueprint: Blooming Dance, so you can create these shoes without which you won’t be able to play the next stage. Now that we have all we need, let’s see what lies in Store for Signy next…
It seems that Signy gave everyone a scare when she snuck out of the castle to go after Audwin. Just to remind you, only Roslin knew about it and strangely accepted it. Signy sneaked something into Aldous’s drink to make him sleep because he wouldn’t have let her go alone otherwise, and she did not tell anyone else. Now, as she is coming back, it would appear that they are looking for her.
The guards are scattered about, looking for her all around. Signy is missing since yesterday and everyone is dead worried. However, she arrives now and ends this stressful occasion. A guard sees Signy returning and announces it to everyone.
The king is worried the most, of course, for his daughter. He calls her “baby” and asks Signy where was she. It would appear that he did not worry for a long time for the guards only notified him that Signy was missing this morning, a little while before she came back. Naturally, the king assumed the worst…
Ms. Roslin is here as well to welcome her. She was worried too, regardless of having known about it all along. Signy apologizes to everyone for making them worry. She explains that she wanted to try and resolve the issue with the Sorcerer quickly, but she admits she failed and says she is sorry again.
The king’s stress is not veining and it is even increasing as Signy tells him she was out to see the sorcerer. Signy is now speechless… Ms. Roslin scorns her for going on such a dangerous task alone. It was Roslin that gave Signy the sleeping pills she used on Aldous, so she is mad about that as well.
When morning came, Aldous transformed back into the Swan Snowy, as his curse is still in effect, but Roslin saw the hurt in his eyes still for Signy’s subterfuge. It would appear Signy now has to face the consequences of her actions.
She admits that it was all her doing but she did so to avoid putting others in danger. Luckily, her uncle Arthur is on her side. The chief minister tells everyone that Signy could not have anticipated this and that she shouldn’t blame herself for anything. He is kind and observing too, for he notices that by the looks of her she did encounter the sorcerer…
Arthur optimistically asks if Signy was able to negotiate with Audwin, but the king attacks him before she can speak. He calls him a wicked and heartless man because he doesn’t even ask Signy if she’s hurt. He only cares about his own business. The king continues sobbing while the chief minister coughs and rolls his eyes.
Signy reassures everyone she is not hurt and is touched by all their care. She tells her uncle Arthur that she did find the sorcerer’s tower and she did see him. Arthur’s suspense grows as he is curious how she managed to pull it off. He admits he secretly sent soldiers on scouting missions but they couldn’t find anything.
Signy explains her plan from the start. She knew that he weakens after using his sorcery, as Aldous revealed. And, she knew about the animal spies he sent to her every night, so she tells them about the fluorescent powder she used to mark the trail back to him.
She simply followed it later and found his tower deep in the forest. Signy them proceeds to tell them the worst part of it all. She admits she wanted to kill Audwin and that she has had the chance, but… However, before she can finish, the king can’t restrain his worry…
Signy tells them that if she had killed him, the curse would never have been lifted, so she couldn’t do it. The king asks what king of black magic did the sorcerer us and then he comes to an idea – what if the sorcerer was lying?
It would appear that Signy also toyed with the idea that Audwin’s words are perhaps empty threats he uses only to scare them. He does have power, but he might also be bluffing for most of the stuff. Arthur interjects. He has been studying, reading through scrolls, and has found out something interesting…
It would appear that Audwin’s death could have two effects on his curses. Some may be lifted, while others might remain forever. However, whenever a sorcerer casts a permanent spell, he has to be hit with a recall. This is why he is weakened as he was.
Signy is again sorry for not killing him, but it would appear that was the right choice since the curse he cast on Aldous might very well be permanent. The king comforts her again, telling Signy it is not her fault. No matter what, the king tells them that they must remain morally upright. There must always be another way to solve this…and before he can finish his sentence, the king starts coughing uncontrollably.
The talk they had is interrupted by now SIgny’s worry about the King’s health. Signy orders Roslin to take him to his quarters so he can rest. She will remain to discuss the topic at hand further with Uncle Arthur here. The king tries to feign not being that weak and coughs still and Ms. Roslin finally convinces him to go to his quarters and she also summons the physician.
Signy again reassures her father that she can handle this as she is showing signs of growing into a very responsible queen. King Edward XII finally agrees to entrust this matter to his daughter and his brother but advises Signy not to exert herself too much. Arthur says that he thinks Signy is stronger than they all think and the king agrees.
Signy cannot help but be worried about her father. This man was her protector and her idol for so long, but now he is so frail and sickly. This only serves to strengthen her resolve to grasp her responsibilities. She sends the maid to fetch her a change of clothing, so she can get to it and learn from Arthur the basics of running state affairs. And, now it’s the dress-up time!
As shown above, this stage’s outfit tips call for Noble and Formal clothing items, which Signy needs to wear when she goes to Chief Minister to talk about Audwin and their strategy for the future. We will adjust the filter for those traits and we will prioritize Swan Lake items, or more accurately the ones we made especially for this stage as suggested.
For our hat slot, we will use the suggested Glorious Sunflower pin, which we have at 4 stars. It awards us with 397 in both Noble and Formal. The blueprint for this item is gained after reaching Audwin Goodwill Lv. 2 and it is an essential item for the entire Swan Lake storyline because it is required in many recipes.
Out hair will be set for Unbending Will style. We have it at 3 stars and this hair will contribute in both Noble and Formal by 323. It is also a very common Swan Lake clothing item and the blueprint is obtained by having a perfect score in Stage 1-3, so please refer to our walkthrough for that stage if you need it.
There are no special requirements for the glasses/mask slot in this stage, so we will just use the best item we have, which is currently the Triangle Mark. We have it at just 2 stars and it will contribute with 180 in Noble for our current outfit needs.
Swan Lake stage 1-12 outfit tips suggest Ode of Determination as our go-to dress and that’s what we will use. It is obtained in the first stage and it is needed on multiple occasions. We have it at 4 stars and it will contribute us with 754 in both Noble and Formal.
For our feet, we will use the Bold Steps shows, also suggested by the stage tips. The blueprint for these is obtained from Stage 1-10 in Swan Lake by having a perfect score in the end. These are currently at 3 stars and award 303 in both Noble and Formal.
There are no special requirements for socks, so we will use the Spotless Socks as our best fit for this slot. There is a good chance to get these from the Encounters with Charlotte Harris during Gotham Memoirs. This item is currently at 3 stars and will contribute with 188 in Formal for our outfit needs.
The suggested necklace for this stage is the Dazzling Freedom, which we crafted especially for this opportunity and we will use it, even though we have others with a higher rank. This one, however, adds to both Noble and Formal, so it’s still the highest value. At 4 stars, this collar contributes 330 in both needed traits. The blueprint can be found on Parven’s Shop, in a random rotation, so keep an eye to purchase it.
For our earring slot, we will use the also suggested item Ringing Roses. They are an often-used item in Swan Lake, needed for multiple occasions and recipes. The blueprint can be found on Parven’s Shop, in a random rotation, so keep an eye to purchase it. These are currently at 4 stars and award 330 in both Noble and Formal.
Despite having many higher-tier gloves, we will use the Resilient Conviction gloves. Frequently used in making other clothes, these are easily found on the Parven’s Shop or from the Audwin encounters. We currently only have these at 2 stars, but they will contribute with 214 in both Noble and Formal.
There are no particular ring requirements for this stage, so we will use our best one that meets these requirements. It is currently our Prayer of Love ring, that we have at 5 stars and it will give us 423 in the Formal stat. This item is obtained randomly from opening Magical Gifts.
For the hand-held item slot, we must use the Ancient Legend scepter. There are no particular requirements for this stage and this is the highest-ranking item we have with the highest value for our trait needs currently. It is at 6 stars and will contribute to us with 825 in Noble. This item is awarded when you activate a Season 4 Fashion Booster and reach a specific member level.
Any cat with either of the stats at the highest possible value will do. If you do cat dating much, you will probably get one that has both Formal and Noble. We will use this one as it is our only option for this outfit, with 125 in Formal.
Lastly, we will use the Porcelain Cup for our relic as it is the only option that makes sense and that is available to us. It is currently at level 19, and it will contribute 243 to our final score and it gives +38.9% to the value of the traits of our handheld item. Now, let’s see how we did currently:
With this setup, we have a final score of Great with 7749. Of course, we must have the perfect score, so we will try to achieve it later on, probably through leveling up or changing the relic and trying to get a better cat companion, since we are just a couple hundred short. But, let’s see what happens with the story next anyway.
As we go back to the story, Signy and Arthur have already spent some time discussing and planning their strategy for handling the immediate threat to the kingdom. Arthur, the Chief Minister, is even suggesting that it’s time for them to stop now and rest for today.
As Signy is slowly learning what managing her kingdom entails, she is also beginning to appreciate the job her uncle does. Arthur is naturally flattered but tells Signy to save her worry as it is his duty to serve her and the kingdom. Signy promises him she will work hard and be a worthy successor.
However, the matter at hand still remains, and that is dealing with the cursed sorcerer. Arthur says he must be handled swiftly. Signy is again lamenting for giving up the chance to kill him. It would appear that marrying him is her only option now to save her kingdom from his wrath. But, Arthur disagrees…
Signy doesn’t want to hear it. Instead, she looks defeated as she tells him they should start the wedding preparations… However, Arthur reminds her that the wedding isn’t due anytime soon and that they still have time to come up with solutions for their problem.
It seems that Signy is starting to lose hope and that she is slowly accepting defeat. She leaves Arthur and the study and returns to her room, as night has already fallen. Aldous is there, waiting for her, in his human form. Signy doesn’t have the courage to face him.
Even though she has passed on the chance to kill the sorcerer for his sake, and therefore placed him in front of her kingdom, she still feels guilty for not being able to protect him and everyone. Also, she is worried about the bad things the sorcerer might do in the future, for nobody guarantees they will be safe after they marry. She is slowly growing desperate, giving up her search for the solution for their fates…
As Signy is trouble by these dark thoughts, Aldous welcomes her with an optimistic smile. He asks her how she’s been. Signy immediately begins apologizing to him for what she did, referring to her failed assassination attempt. But, Aldous is of course on her side…
He is dismissing her guilt and at the same time feeling some of his own for not being able to help her more, to be by her side through all this, and protect her. When Aldous says this, we get our first branching choice in this stage. In our walkthrough for Swan Lake stage 1-12, we can’t go through both as they are directly influenced by what we chose in the previous branching point. When Signy stays silent, she must now choose to Trust Aldous.
Stay silent
The choice where Signy stays silent
Signy says nothing, thinking how none of this is their fault. Aldous continues admitting to her that, while she was gone, he panicked. He felt even more helpless for being a swan and not being able to do anything to help her. He also read many scrolls trying to find some trace of hope for their problem but to no avail.
Aldous also gives in to desperation, but Signy says that perhaps they shouldn’t be too hard on themselves. They are both victims after all. Although she has no desire to marry the sorcerer, Signy adds, if that is the only way she can save her kingdom, she will… Before she can finish her sentence, Aldous interrupts her…
It would appear that his pain is deeper still, for Aldous cannot bear to see Signy do this. He tells her that she should have killed the sorcerer. Signy tells him that he would then be cursed forever. He is her best friend, as Signy tells Aldous, so how could she do such a thing?
Aldous tells her that he is not as weak as she thinks. He obviously feels a burden to her. He tells Signy that he has gotten used to living with his curse and that he hopes she finds happiness in life. Signy is speechless for a moment, then tells him he should be the one to find happiness…
Signy reveals just how much joy Aldous brought into her life. He tells her that the joy came from the swan Snowy and that will never change. That swan will always be there for her. At this point, we get our second branching path in this stage. Signy can choose to either trust or confess to Aldous how she feels, and we will do both below…
Trust
The choice to Trust Aldous
Signy tells Aldous she trusts him. He tells her that he knows the kingdom is preparing for the wedding, but he Is determined and promises her he will find a way to divert this before it happens. He won’t tell anybody, force her to do anything against her will! Signy trusts in Aldous’ bold words.
Their conversation ends here. Aldous is definitely planning something. As they can’t reason with the sorcerer, it would appear ending him is their only hope. However, secretly, Signy is still afraid for Aldous and feels the need to stop whatever he is planning. He’s been through so much and she can’t let him do this alone.
It would appear that the pair just sit there despairing together, as they can’t touch each other because of Audwin’s second curse on Aldous. Signy feels the uncertainty of the coming period stifling and is not sure if she can prepare in any way possible. Swan Lake stage 1-12 ends here with this choice. We now go through the other ones, below.
Back to Previous Choice
The Choice where Signy Comforts Aldous
We now go back to the first branching pathway in this stage and choose the second option, where Signy comforts Aldous. This will cost us 5 extra stamina, as per usual. However, choosing this will increase your Goodwill standing with Aldous.
Signy tells Aldous that he is her protector, whether he sees it or not. Aldous sees through her attempt at once and tells Signy she doesn’t have to comfort him. However, she assures him she means it. She reminds him about how he told her the right way when she did not know if she should take a left or a right turn in the forest.
Aldous remembers. It was the day she was frustrated because she got lost. Signy reminds Aldous that he chose her path for her that day. This time, she came upon another fork in the forest and she again chose to turn right, which led her to the sorcerer’s tower.
We already know what happened when Signy took the left turn there, she died, so unofficially, Aldous kind of saved her life. However, despite her efforts to convince him, Aldous dismisses it all, saying he would willingly trade all his luck for her safety.
Aldous continues admitting to her that, while she was gone, he panicked. He felt even more helpless for being a swan and not being able to do anything to help her. He also read many scrolls trying to find some trace of hope for their problem but to no avail.
Aldous also gives in to desperation, but Signy says that perhaps they shouldn’t be too hard on themselves. They are both victims after all. Although she has no desire to marry the sorcerer, Signy adds, if that is the only way she can save her kingdom, she will… Before she can finish her sentence, Aldous interrupts her…
It would appear that his pain is deeper still, for Aldous cannot bear to see Signy do this. He tells her that she should have killed the sorcerer. Signy tells him that he would then be cursed forever. He is her best friend, as Signy tells Aldous, so how could she do such a thing?
Aldous tells her that he is not as weak as she thinks. He obviously feels a burden to her. He tells Signy that he has gotten used to living with his curse and that he hopes she finds happiness in life. Signy is speechless for a moment, then tells him he should be the one to find happiness…
Signy reveals just how much joy Aldous brought into her life. He tells her that the joy came from the swan Snowy and that will never change. That swan will always be there for her. We now again arrive at the second branching path in this story, and we will now choose the second option, for Signy to Confess to Aldous how she feels. At this point, we get our second branching path in this stage. Signy can choose to either trust or confess to Aldous how she feels, and we will do both below…

We now go through the other ones, below.
Back to Previous Choice
This is the end of Swan Lake stage 1-12. It would appear that we can’t choose the other option in the second branching point in the story. Similar bugs are reported sometimes in several other stories as well and we hope this gets resolved soon. However, it is only a brief part of the stage and doesn’t have any significant effect on any part of it. The main thing is that you pass this stage with the perfect score to get the Blooming Dance shoe blueprint, so we will see you in our walkthrough for stages 1-13 for Swan Lake story in Dress up! Time Princess.
