After Expedition 33 was ambushed by Renoir at the Dark Shores, Gustave believed he was the sole survivor until Lune found him and discovered a clue to Maelle’s whereabouts. The duo leaves for the Flying Waters, which is conveniently in front of the Spring Meadows exit portal. Upon entering, they will see new threats and a sunken ship hovering above their heads.

To find the SOS Shell Pictos, follow the sunken ship, and you can find the Pictos at the end of the ship. You can assign it to either Lune or Gustave and win four battles to learn the Lumina.
