Carter's powers could help deal with the hordes of uncontrolled familiars, if she had someone to watch over her. First, find out how to contain her powers and protect yourself.

Objective: Read Montag's notebook

Head to the Headmaster's Office on the second floor above the Administration offices and pick up the [Portable ward generator] (300,380) on the Headmaster's desk. This will place it in your Mission Inventory.

Acquire anima sources from familiars

Take 7 x [Anima charge] from Familiars around and within Innsmouth Academy. Killing a Familiar while wielding the [W.A.N.D. Anima Manipulator] will result in Familiars dropping an [Anima charge] upon death that can then be picked up from the ground within 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, an uncollected [Anima charge] will dissipate.

Task Description

Escort Carter to the source of the familiars.

Objective: Meet Carter in the basement

Carter is now following you. Go to the doorway to the next room (120,120), whereupon Carter will comment:

Objective: Go through the maintenance door

Unfortunately, the door doesn't budge.

FIFO On-Screen Message

It's locked.

Alas.

Objective: Find a way to open the maintenance door

Head left to a room full of Crazed Familiars. It is the only way forward while the maintenance door is locked. Proceed through it and into the next room.

Carter will eagerly engage in combat alongside you. Be aware that her powers are not as controlled as yours and she can and will kill you if you don't use the Charged ward generator to create a ward to stand in when Carter casts Prom Night.

In the very back of the last room (110,150) is a control panel. Use the control panel to route power to the maintenance door so that the door will open. The power has returned to the Innsmouth Academy Basement.

Once the power is on, all Familiars being stored on hooks are now active and will become hostile upon approach - including the ones next to the control panel.

At the start of the channel, Walled In buffs Carter with the 10 second long Walled In barrier that completely wards against Melee, Ranged, and Magic damage. This makes Carter immune to all damage for the 10 second duration of Walled In.

Failure to survive Prom Night for the very first time on a character will result in the appearance of the following tip:

Neither Carter's Burning nor the Fatality of Prom Night can be Evaded. Carter herself is immune to any damage whatsoever during Prom Night.

Charged ward generator

When Carter begins to cast Prom Night, use the [Charged ward generator] from within your Mission Inventory or Quick Access Inventory to produce a ward for 11 seconds at the location the generator was used.

Standing within the tastefully Illuminated ward grants the buff Portable ward generator for 2 seconds. The duration of Portable ward generator is refreshed while standing inside the ward.

The Ward will knock away any Familiars who are within it when it is created.

Objective: Escort Carter to the source of familiars

The maintenance door is open. Return to the maintenance door and go through it.

The next room has two doorways, one straight ahead and one to the right.

Go straight through the next maintenance door (120,145), which thankfully is already open. Continue straight through this second maintenance door to a third maintenance door (150,165).

The Familiars in the next room will attack only when you are in the middle of the room. Proceed to the next room, where a crowds of familiars are found blocking a doorway (175,190).

Enter the next room. There, stairs lead to the bowels of the basement. Upon seeing the stairs, Carter is sure you have found the source of the familiars and the mission will progress to Tier 3.

Descend the stairs to witness the source of the familiars: an enormous Flesh Golem.

The source sleeps, but not for long. Carter will run up to the Flesh Golem as soon as she sees it.

Tier 3

Task Description

The familiars are driven out from the source in the basement; a terrifying flesh abomination. Destroy the abomination.

Objective: Destroy the flesh abomination

Throughout the encounter, the Crazed Familiars in the room with the Flesh Golem will activate and attack as additional enemies.

Once the Flesh Golem is destroyed, Carter will set flame to every single remaining Familiar in the Innsmouth Academy Basement, destroying them all.

Carter has been unleashed. The mission is complete.

You are free to wander the Innsmouth Academy Basement and leave at your leisure, either through the ladder near the Flesh Golem's containment unit (235,165), by using the basement door (95,100) that you originally used to enter the basement, or by Teleporting out of the Innsmouth Academy Basement directly ([Shift+T] by default).
