Tetsa missing after her lab experiment: use a different loop

Windows PC release · community answers checked October 12, 2026 · spoilers

The short answer

Tetsa will not appear again in the same loop in which you stop her experiment. The developer says to visit one of her known spots in a different loop.

A player subsequently found her at bell 5. That is a reported encounter, not a complete timetable or proof that every later conversation unlocks.

Route note

Stopped experiment → another loop

  1. 01Did you stop the experiment in this loop?
  2. 02She will not reappear in that same loop
  3. 03Visit a known spot in a different loop
  4. 04Presence and unlocked dialogue are separate

Check what happened at the lab

The question follows a lab conversation asking the player to find her later. The developer’s specific condition is stopping the experiment: she will no longer appear elsewhere during that same loop. Searching every region at every bell in that loop misses the condition.

Visit a known spot in another loop

  1. Check whether you stopped her experiment in this loop.
  2. If so, use a different loop for the next meeting.
  3. Visit a Tetsa spot you already know at its relevant time.
  4. Check her presence and whether the conversation is available.

Presence and dialogue are different checks

The poster found her at bell 5 and later in the courtyard after another event, but she would not talk there. This thread does not resolve every dialogue prerequisite. If she is present but silent, note the encounter and quest state rather than assuming another loop fixes all dialogue.

Her request for a familiar Glaive ability instead needs Recall. This page addresses absence after the experiment, not her full quest or an unverified bell timetable.
