Dates: December 18, 2023 to January 15, 2024
You need: the Whispers in the Walls quest done, and a clan that has built the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle in its Dojo
Rewards at a glance: a new color palette, glyphs, sigils, blueprints, and Arcanes, plus a clan trophy
Time to start: about 1 minute to install, then however long you farm
So you've finished the Whispers in the Walls quest and are looking for something else to do while you grind out that standing? As long as you're in a clan and are prepared to do some leg work, there is something to do for a limited time. I present to you Operation: Gargoyle's Cry. What is it? Let's take a look!
1. Getting started
In order to partake, you will need your clan to install the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle inside the Dojo. Luckily, this is automatically in the Dojo's inventory, so there is no need to purchase it from any particular NPC. It does take some materials to build, but these are gathered while doing bounties for Sanctum Anatomica. Dump the materials into the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle and wait for 1 minute to Pass. Boom, done.

NOTE: Each and every clan that builds the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle inside their Dojo participates in this operation. If you remember Operation: Scarlet Spear, this is kind of like that.
2. How the operation works
Doing the mission on Effervo (the new assassination with Whispers in the Walls) rewards you with something called a "Curse". Please note that just like other bounties and missions of the Whispers in the Walls, you must do both parts of the mission to successfully complete it. This means you need to defeat both the Void Angel and the assassination target before heading to the final boss fight.

Fighting the final boss (one of a Fragmented Trio) rewards you with a Curse of Knowing, Curse of Seeing, or a Curse of Hearing. These Curses are fed to the Gargoyle in the Dojo, so get out there and farm!

How large your clan is determines how many Curses you can feed in a week. The more Curses fed, the better the trophy your clan earns at the end of this Operation. Not to mention, the more Curses fed across the entire game, the more new Operation rewards unlock.

3. Rewards
The Grotesque Splinter, the new material that drops in the mission after you kick the Fragmented boss's butt, is what you exchange for Operation rewards.
| Reward type | Cost |
| Color palette, glyphs, sigils | Grotesque Splinters |
| Blueprints and Arcanes | Grotesque Splinters |
| Clan trophy | Curses fed |
