Identity V Stillewald's Banquet Final-Week Guide: Story Tasks, Free Rewards, and Missable Items

Stillewald's Banquet is entering its final week on the Identity V Global Servers. The central 8th Anniversary event ends on July 29, 2026 at 23:59 UTC+8, giving players seven days from July 22 to finish the story, complete event activities, recover remaining check-ins, and claim rewards.

The event is part of the Truth & Inference universe and follows Lady Truth to Stillewald, a town associated with the legend of the Hyrdriads, a mysterious invitation, and a wedding surrounded by hidden motives. Progress is distributed across story chapters, event gameplay, daily check-ins, anniversary gifts, and shop content.

The biggest final-week risk is not difficulty. It is fragmentation. A player can complete the visible story but leave a reward behind in another tab, finish a check-in route without claiming its final box, or confuse a July 29 deadline with a shop item that remains available into August.

This guide organizes the final week by expiration risk.

Core Event Deadline

The main Stillewald's Banquet event runs from July 2 after maintenance through July 29 at 23:59 UTC+8. All Characters Free-to-Use and the 8th Anniversary Gift use the same July 29 deadline.

Some related offers use other dates. Anniversary discount packages can remain until July 31, and Stillewald's Banquet Room Music in the Event Shop is available until August 12. The 40% Costume Discount Card remains valid until December 31 after it is claimed.

The in-game timer remains the final authority. Regional client or server differences should be checked directly.

The Story Route

Stillewald's Banquet begins with an invitation that brings Lady Truth into a new investigation. The town's legends, the wedding, and the people connected to the event unfold through staged story progress.

Players returning in the final week should open the story map and identify every locked node. A lock may require completing a previous chapter, an event match, a clue interaction, or a daily progression condition.

Do not skip dialogue automatically if story rewards depend on reaching a final chapter. Fast-forwarding may be available, but first confirm that the node registers as complete.

After each chapter, return to the event overview. Story completion can unlock a separate reward or activity rather than delivering everything immediately.

The narrative is limited content. Even if some character costumes or Room Music return later, the complete event presentation may not remain accessible in the same form.

Daily Check-In Recovery

Daily check-ins are among the easiest rewards to miss because players may log into the game without opening the event page.

Check the current day count on July 22. If the route includes retroactive sign-in or catch-up opportunities, read the cost and limit before using them. The event's pre-launch invitation content also included a retro check-in period through July 29.

Prioritize check-in completion early in the week. A catch-up system can have a daily limit or require event currency, and waiting until July 29 may make full recovery impossible.

After pressing the sign-in button, inspect whether a milestone chest, portrait frame, Spyglass reward, Fragment reward, or other item also needs manual collection.

Do not assume a red notification dot will remain visible on every menu layer.

Main Free Rewards

The official anniversary announcement lists rewards from story progress, event activities, and daily check-ins including:

• A B-rarity Event Costume.

• An Event Portrait.

• Furniture.

• An Emote Unlock Card.

• A B-rarity Costume Unlock Card.

• Additional anniversary resources.

Related Stillewald activities can also provide a Portrait Frame, Spyglasses, Fragments, Clues, and other items shown in the current interface.

A Costume Unlock Card is not the same as a costume trial card. The B-rarity Costume Unlock Card permanently unlocks an eligible B-rarity costume under its rules. An S-rarity Costume Trial Card from the anniversary gift provides temporary access.

Read eligibility before using any unlock card. Limited, crossover, ranked, logic-path, or otherwise excluded costumes may not be selectable.

Claim the 8th Anniversary Gift

The anniversary login gift includes an 8th Anniversary Portrait, a Rank Protection Card, and an S-rarity Costume Trial Card. It ends July 29 with the main event.

Claim it even if the account does not plan to use the trial card immediately. Check the trial item's expiration and eligible costume list.

The Rank Protection Card should be stored for a session where the account actually plans to play Ranked. Do not activate it without understanding the validity window.

Verify every item in Mail, Inventory, Portraits, or the relevant event page. Login alone may not equal claim completion.

The 40% Costume Discount Card

Players can claim a 40% Costume Discount Card during the anniversary. Its use period extends to December 31, 2026, which creates two separate deadlines: the deadline to claim the card and the later deadline to spend it.

Claim it before the anniversary page closes, but do not rush the purchase on July 29 if the desired eligible costume is not available.

Read the maximum discount, eligible currency, costume exclusions, and whether it applies to packages or only individual costumes. A 40% label does not guarantee that every shop item receives the full reduction.

Save a screenshot of the card description and expiration after claiming.

B-Rarity Event Costume and Unlock Card

The B-rarity Event Costume is tied to event participation. Confirm which character receives the costume and whether the final claim appears in the story, activity, or reward-track page.

The B-rarity Costume Unlock Card is more flexible. It should be used on a costume the account wants and can legally select, not simply the first item shown.

Before redeeming, preview the costume in different lobby or match lighting when possible. Check whether the account already owns it through another source.

Unlock cards may have their own expiration. Claiming the card before July 29 does not automatically prove it can be kept forever.

Emote Unlock Card

An Emote Unlock Card can permanently unlock an eligible emote, subject to the selection rules.

Players should compare emotes for their main Survivor or Hunter rather than using the card on a rarely played character. Some emotes return regularly, while others have narrower availability.

Check whether event, limited, crossover, or deduction emotes are excluded. The card interface should show valid choices.

Do not confuse an Emote Unlock Card with an emote trial or an event-specific action that only works inside Stillewald's Banquet.

Furniture and Room Rewards

Stillewald's Banquet includes furniture among its free event rewards. Furniture belongs to the Room system and may require the appropriate Room access or capacity to display.

Claim the item even if the account does not actively decorate. Limited furniture can remain valuable for future Room layouts.

The Event Shop also offers Stillewald's Banquet Room Music for 50 Spyglasses from July 16 through August 12. This deadline is later than the main event, so players do not need to sacrifice a July 29 story task to buy it immediately.

However, confirm the Spyglass balance and future plans. Spending 50 Spyglasses on music can delay another shop goal.

Spyglasses, Fragments, and Clues

Small currencies are easy to ignore, but anniversary activities may distribute meaningful totals.

Spyglasses purchase selected Event Shop items, including Room Music. Fragments unlock eligible costumes and accessories. Clues can unlock characters and Memory Spheres under their current rules.

Claim every small node before the event closes. A few unclaimed Fragments from one page can combine with other rewards to reach a purchase threshold later.

Do not spend currencies merely because the anniversary is ending. The event task may expire while the currency itself remains.

Event Activities Beyond Story

The anniversary hub may include mini-games, exploration, clue collection, daily objectives, or additional linked events such as Woodland Waltz and Take Your Seat.

Open every tab and check three states: incomplete, completed but unclaimed, and finished. A tab with no red dot can still contain a manual reward.

When an activity uses tickets or stamina that regenerate, calculate the number of remaining refreshes through July 29. Spend enough each day to avoid reaching the cap.

For score-based activities, identify the reward thresholds rather than chasing a leaderboard with no account value.

A Seven-Day Final Route

July 22: Full Audit

Open the anniversary hub, story map, check-in page, gift page, activity tabs, and Event Shop. Record every incomplete reward and deadline.

Claim the 8th Anniversary Gift and 40% Discount Card immediately.

July 23: Story Progress

Complete as many story chapters and prerequisites as possible. Return to the overview after each section to claim rewards.

July 24: Check-In Recovery

Use any official retroactive sign-in route early. Confirm the final obtainable day count.

July 25: Activities and Mini-Games

Finish score thresholds, ticket-based gameplay, and linked anniversary missions.

July 26: Reward Selection

Review B-rarity Costume and Emote Unlock Cards. Do not redeem until eligible options are understood.

July 27: Missing Nodes

Inspect every tab for completed but unclaimed items. Check Mail and Inventory.

July 28: Final Completion

Finish remaining story and activities. Save screenshots of complete progress.

July 29: Verification Buffer

Use the final day only for missing claims, account synchronization, and support issues. Avoid beginning a long story chain.

What Can Wait Until After July 29

Room Music remains available until August 12. Anniversary packages may remain until July 31. The claimed 40% Costume Discount Card can be used until December 31.

What cannot wait is the main Stillewald story, core activity progression, free-character access, anniversary gift claim, and event check-ins.

Separating these windows prevents players from spending an hour comparing shop packages while story rewards expire.

Reward Verification

After claiming, check the correct location.

Portraits and Portrait Frames appear in profile customization. Costumes appear under the corresponding character. Furniture and Room Music belong to the Room system. Unlock Cards and trial items appear in Inventory. Currency totals update in their respective menus.

Take screenshots of important claim messages. If an item does not appear, restart the client and wait for synchronization before contacting support.

A support report should include Character ID, server, event name, reward, claim time, and screenshots. Never include a password or one-time code.

Echoes and Safe Top-Up Planning

Most Stillewald's Banquet rewards are free and should be claimed before any purchase. Anniversary packages and costumes are separate optional decisions.

Topuplist provides access to supported top-up services. Players who decide to purchase Echoes can review options on the Identity V top-up page. Confirm the Character ID, server or region, Echo package, and final price before payment.

The main event ends July 29, but some packages end July 31. Check the exact product deadline and do not rush account details.

Common Final-Week Mistakes

The first mistake is assuming every anniversary item ends on the same date.

The second is completing story nodes without returning to claim their rewards.

The third is logging in but not pressing the check-in button.

The fourth is confusing a permanent Costume Unlock Card with a temporary S-rarity Trial Card.

The fifth is failing to claim the 40% Discount Card because its use deadline is later.

The sixth is spending Spyglasses on Room Music before securing a higher-priority goal.

The seventh is starting the story for the first time on July 29.

The eighth is assuming temporary free-character access creates permanent ownership.

The ninth is leaving a completed reward behind because no red dot appears.

Final Completion Checklist

Before July 29 at 23:59 UTC+8:

• Finish Stillewald's Banquet story chapters.

• Complete linked event activities.

• Recover and claim daily check-ins.

• Claim the 8th Anniversary Portrait, Rank Protection Card, and S-rarity Costume Trial Card.

• Claim the 40% Costume Discount Card.

• Claim the B-rarity Event Costume.

• Claim the Event Portrait and Portrait Frame rewards shown in the hub.

• Claim furniture and the Emote Unlock Card.

• Claim the B-rarity Costume Unlock Card.

• Collect Spyglasses, Fragments, Clues, and small milestone rewards.

• Verify every item in the correct menu.

• Save Room Music and July 31 package decisions for their separate deadlines when necessary.

Final Takeaway

Stillewald's Banquet has a manageable final week once its deadlines are separated. The main story, activities, check-ins, gift claim, and free-character period end July 29. Room Music, packages, and the 40% Discount Card use later windows.

Prioritize content that disappears, then claim and verify every reward. Do not spend the final day reading story chapters from the beginning or comparing optional packages.

Lady Truth's investigation may be the narrative center, but the practical final-week objective is simple: finish the story, clear the event tabs, collect the permanent unlock items, and leave no completed reward unclaimed.
