MORE DETAILED INFORMATION:
0) Join Fallen Gods Inc. Official Group (Invite in local chat from HUD giver. Group is free to join.)
1) Get the Hunt HUD from Fallen Gods Inc. in Selidor here: here
2) Wear the HUD: it offers a map teleport to you, use it.
3) The HUD also gave you a hunt hint in local chat. If you missed it, press the HINT button to get it again.
4) Find ~DUAT~ Star. It looks just like the circle with star in the middle on the Hunt Poster and Hunt HUD. Click it, and the HUD congratulates you in local chat and offers you a new teleport. You have to be close enough to the star for the click to register, in a few locations you might need to fly.
5) Once you have found all the stars, the HUD will teleport you to the Treasure Room where you will get all the prizes! Either click the snake stand in the middle to receive all of them, or go one by one clicking the stands.

PROBLEM-SOLVING FAQ:
Q) I found a star, but didn't get a gift!
A) That's right. Complete the hunt and you will get all the gifts at the end of the ~DUAT~ Hunt.

Q) I closed the teleport map by accident, how do I get it up again?
A) Click the HINT button. That will repeat the next hint to you, and if you are not in the right sim, it will pop up the teleport map again.

Q) I forgot what the hint was!
A) Click the HINT button, it will repeat the hint to you in local chat.

Q) I found the star, but clicking it doesn't do anything!
A) Check your local chat. You might be too far from the star, sometimes you have to fly to be within the reach. Or maybe you did get it, but the map didn't pop up. Press HINT button again to see if it will repeat this location's hint, or give you the next one with a map teleport. Also try right clicking the star and then choosing 'touch' from the menu. Make sure the item you are clicking is called ~DUAT~ Star, and is not a promotional stand that just looks similar. Also make sure you are not clicking an invisible part of something else in the way.

Q) I've searched and searched and can't find it! Are there any extra hints?
A) You can ask for help in Fallen Gods Inc. group. Be polite, and also ask for the extra hints to be im-ed to you, to avoid spoilers in the group chat. Fallens are usually very helpful and friendly. You had to join the group to get the HUD, but if you already left it Fallen Gods Inc. group can be joined by copy-pasting this in local chat and then clicking:  secondlife:///app/group/ed1aa2db-9919-01c0-1573-624f32aad180/about

Q) I'm banned from a store on the hunt, am I now stuck?
A) Nope! Contact Sonya Marmurek and she'll help you out so you can still finish the hunt.

Q) I can't go to the next sim because it's Adult rated, am I now stuck?
A) Nope! Contact Sonya Marmurek and she'll help you out so you can still finish the hunt.

Q) What happens if I crash? Do I lose progress?
A) You shouldn't, nope. The HUD saves your progress to server every time you find a star, but since we all know how reliable SL can be, it's a good habit to click SAVE button in the HUD often to make sure it did exactly that.

Q) I think I'm in the wrong place!
A1) If in doubt, teleport out, for example your own home, and click HINT button again for a fresh teleport to make sure you are where you should be.
A2) Check from the hover text of your HUD what is the store name you're asked to visit. Then click STORES button and choose the same name from there. This will give you a landmark. Use it.
A3) If both of these things lead you to the same place, you are definitely in the right place.

Q) There's a lot of buildings here, which one is the right one?
A) Some stores have other stores nearby. Check your HUD, it says the name of the store you're supposed to go to with a hover-over "Visit <store name>". Make sure you're in the right store: usually the stores have their name on top of their door, but the very least you can see it from their vendors. Sometimes the beacon of the teleport guides you the right way, too.

Q) I want to go back to a store I visited earlier for important shoppings!
A) All the stores have landmarks in the HUD. Click STORES button and find the store you want to visit from the menu, then click it to receive the landmark.

Q) I'm clicking a gift giver stand in the Treasure Room and nothing is happening!
A1) Make sure you're close to the stand. If you're camming from across the room, nothing will happen.
A2) Some stands are there just for symmetry. They will have general DUAT logo instead of a store logo on them. You can also right click edit check their contents, if there's just a script there and no box, it has no gift in it.

Q) I want to visit the Treasure Room again!
A) Keep the Completed HUD. When you want to re-visit the Prize Room, just wear it and click HINT button. There will be local chat text, ending in a SLURL to the Prize Room. Use that to go back.

Q) I'm buried under all these gifts and cannot move!
A) Open them one at a time and remember to caffeinate between loot-sortings!
