* Please make sure all your posts are coherent, and that you have spelled all words to the best of your ability. Also, please try to use correct grammar.
* Please keep all posts on topic. If you would like to speak to someone personally or offtopic, PM them.
* Do not double post. If you were the last to post and you want to add more, please use the "edit" button in the top right of each of your posts.
* Do NOT post long links that STRETCH the page.
NOTE: There is a seperate location your Quest items are stored at, the Quest Inventory. It is accessible from Neovia and presumably cannot be stolen/traded/etc.
1. Click on the burned down house (lower right part of Neovia), you will need to search the remains of the building for a Charred Locket. There seems to be 10 different places it can be hidden in (one is randomly determined for you). As you hover across the image, look at your status bar for the coordinates your cursor is at (at the end of the link, there is a ? followed by a pair of coordinates).
Chair: 67, 201
Fireplace: 80, 135
Couch End: 147, 218
Bookcase: 150, 115
Wall Crack: 175, 145
Sofa Couch: 186, 186
Broken Stair: 210, 130
Broken Boards: 235, 232
Pillow Spring: 308, 199
Table Leg: 364, 195
2. Once you have found the locket, (Don't forget to actually click the button to take it!) Gilly will be able to talk to the following people:
Leroy (Coconut Shy), Lyanka (Cork Gun), Harker (Bagatelle), Sydney (Scratch Cards).
Simply scroll down beyond the game activity to see the conversation. If you cannot see it and you have the Locket in your inventory (check) then try playing one of the games or clear your cache/refresh the pages.
Look for the following Key words in the conversation, and note the locations you found them:
A) "Why, certainly, little miss..."
B) "Amazing! I haven't seen such metalwork..."
C) "That piece of junk?"
D) "It looks familiar..."
And Revisit those places in the order listed! If done correctly, an extra piece of conversation by Gilly should come up:
"Well, it's clear no one around here is going to help me. I wonder if there might be someone deeper in the woods who could identify this locket. "
3. Return to Neovia and you can now access the Shack. Read the next chapter to the comic. (Note that you will no longer have the locket in your inventory) Return to the Shack and you will see a new option to flee. You are now in the Damp Cave. Click the "Go into the scary cave..." button, and.. you will be in a Damp Cave.
4. This cave consists of 9 rooms in a 3x3 pattern. Each cave is unique to each person! Note the items that you come across while going through the cave, you can pick up some of them!
** The Trunk and Table CANNOT be picked up
** The Lamp Post, Key, Chair, Broken Mirror, Rotten Food (from the Trash Pile) CAN.
Note that you can only pick up one thing at a time.
While you traverse the cave, there is something that will scary Gilly off. If you are scared off, you will flee to a random section of the cave (but nothing will have resetted) In order to avoid this you need to put down Rotten Food when you get the "Something seems to be following you..." message. The creature will eat it and slink away.
Go find a cave room that has a moonlit area (there may be more than one room) Place the items in the following spots:
* Garbage: 330, 325
* Mirror: 240, 330
* Lamppost: 240, 215
* Chair: 235, 160 (or alternatively try 225, 155)
When all 4 items are simultaneously in the moonlit room, you will be able to see the "monster" that is scaring you... It's Bruno!!
5. After reading the next comic and seeing a heartfelt reunion, you will now need to go searching in the woods. Return to the Shack to access the woods.
You will need to go through the woods by clicking through the windy trails. While you travel you need to be on the look out for a Stick. The stick will be on the bottom part of the screen and should be quite obvious. Once you find the stick, you will need the Hissis.
Select the stick from your inventory (click the panel with the arrow in the bottom-right corner of your screen) and poke the Hissi. You wil now be able to take the path that they block, which will lead you to the High Woods. If you hit a section of the forest that has no paths, you've found a dead end. You will need to start over by going back to the Shack.
When in the High Woods, you now need to collect vines. There are 5 types of vines that can be picked up from the ground (like how you found the stick from before). When you open up the inventory (bottom right corner) you will see a tally of vines.
If you want to see the name of the vines, click the "View Quest Inventories" link. You can remove vines from your inventory by selecting them and then clicking on the ground.
Pick up all the vines you can find (should be 6 of each, 30 total) and go back to the clearing (a big opening without a path or tree in the middle of the screen) and try and click it.
You will recieve a message as to whether or not what you have is enough. It seems that the values required are pretty random. Suggestable starting points are: 6-6-4-2-0, 3-4-4-2-0. Change the number of vines on hand until you go to a cutscene with the cliff. Once there, you will get a helpful hint of what you need to do. Here's a helpful hint that was posted.
Once you successfully do that, you will now be in The Deep Woods. You will now need to find 7 ghost meepits. BUT FIRST, go play a game of Meepits Juice Break and get a score of AT LEAST 400 (about lvl 3). Use the PPT guide for this game if you need help. Once you complete this, check in your QUEST INVENTORY for some Meepit Juice.
Return to the woods, select your Meepit Juice from the inventory tab and try and click on a meepit. It wont work, but Sophie will turn it into ghost meepit juice. Find another meepit and try again... the meepit will now stay with you. Continue for all 7 meepits that are hidden in the woods. Now, find a room with a stone door and 7 lighted spots. Put the meepits on the lighted spots and move them around until they all dance. A happy Meepit (hands up) indicates that its correct spot is one away from it.
To be Continued...

I am still stuck collecting vines. I did what you said and made sure I had 6, 6, 4, and 2, vines but it didn't work.
I have all the vines I can find, but nothing is working!

When I completed this step, I used 66060. There have been other combinations that have worked for people, including 66160. Trial and error is key. (Perhaps a mod could add this to the first post?)
Sun Oct 15, 2006 9:54 pm
add/subtract the last two vines values to see what happens. first, it wasn't strong enough, then too short, then too long for me (resulting in a monster stealing all my vines). But now, I have the correct combination and just need to find one more pesky vine 
Sun Oct 15, 2006 9:54 pm
The vine amount differs from person to person, just like the punch bowl combinations in the Altador Plot.
I was in the middle of adding more vines to my inventory from my pile and testing it's strength and length when the DB needed to be shut down.
Now, all my vine pile disappeared and the vines have not reappeared anywhere else. I am stuck!
EDIT: Yay for vines being back.

Well. I did note on the first post that the given values was just a SUGGESTABLE start. And to change the values of the 3rd/4th vines based on the response you get. What else needs to be clarified?

Yes that's exactly what's happened to me - not a vine in sight anywhere except the 12 I'm carrying.
Sun Oct 15, 2006 9:57 pm
for those who are having their vines dissapear: if your rope is too long and it gets taken by the monster, he steals all of your vines and you have to find them again.
Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:00 pm
They're taking you too literally scottnak!
Now I guess we need seven meepits so it looks like the TCG card. I don't recall how to catch them...

I don't know how to catch the meepits either. I would think you need something to hide yourself..

But my rope is still too short and I have no more vines anywhere to add to it.
Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:07 pm
I have the same problem, Ian....
perhaps we use what we have and try different combos....

There is enough vine in the woods so you have 6 of each.
If you have this, start playing with the numbers (especially the last two).

I had the same problem, but I left the woods and re-entered, I know have found all but 5 of my vines.
Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:09 pm
I am so confused with these vines I have tried so far 90+ different combinations it seems and nothing is working at all. If anyone has an idea of how I can figure this out an IM would be uber appreciated since the site (well for me) is lagging like mad tonight.
eep nm I finally got it, thanks for the advice on the last two!
