Follow this MiSide walkthrough to learn how to set up the portal machine, find essential items like batteries and scanables, and progress through the 'I'm Inside A Game?' quest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Interact with the phone on the desk, check the message, and download the app.
  2. 2
    Help Mita with her tasks: pick up laundry, cook soup (prep ingredients and cut veggies by dragging a slider), and earn 450 by playing minigames to buy her a TV.
  3. 3
    Find Mita's hairbrush in the kitchen cabinet beside the dining table (do NOT look in the oven if you want the 'Stay' option later).
  4. 4
    Move the wardrobe in Mita's room by clicking the blinking grid space.
  5. 5
    After the day changes, give Mita a present. She will then pull you into the game.
  6. 6
    Enter the bedroom and find the portal machine. Press the blinking red button to power it up.
  7. 7
    Locate the three scan items: Bowknot (bathroom sink counter), Pencil (bedroom side cabinet or desk), and Spoon (kitchen near sink or on table). Locations may vary.
  8. 8
    Place the items on the scanner console and press the blinking red button to scan them.
  9. 9
    Press the power button again and stand on the portal pad. The power will go out.
  10. 10
    Go outside and interact with the fuse box to the right of the front door to restore power.
  11. 11
    Find the four missing batteries: Battery 1 (bathroom cabinet), Battery 2 (kitchen counter), Battery 3 (living room near TV), and Battery 4 (kitchen fridge). Remember to pick up fallen magnets after Battery 4 and place them back on the fridge.
  12. 12
    Return to the portal console and place the batteries in their slots (indicated by blinking red lights) inside the machine.
  13. 13
    Press the power button again and stand on the portal pad. The machine should now work.
  14. 14
    Walk towards the bathroom door, then turn around to see Mita appear.
Tips
  • Looking in the oven for the hairbrush will lock out the 'Stay' option with Mita later, but is fine for the first playthrough.
  • Item and battery locations can be randomized.
  • Remember to pick up and replace the magnets on the fridge after collecting Battery 4.
