ATTENTION

* 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. Traverse through the Woods and try to click a meepit. You can't get it! Now instead go play a game of Meepits Juice Break and get a score of AT LEAST 400 (complete level 2). 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...

Any mistakes/additions should be PM'd to a Moderator to get this up quick!

One category of vines seems to have disapeared completely from my inventory and map - i've searched everywhere.... even made a map.

And now my vine can't even be long enough that i can restart... so i seem to be stuck - unless i'm missing somethihng completely....

Any suggestions?

anyone else finding neopets slow. I have been waiting 10 minutes for the new map (place to chase meepits) to load.

Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:19 am

Thanks for the help everyone. The Meepit part was much easier than the vine part. :D

Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:22 am

I feel so stupid :cry: I can't find the clearing!! Anyone have any ideas, or a screen shot of what it looks like?

Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:23 am

what score do you need to meepit juice break? 408 didn't do it for me.

Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:23 am

THANKS benladesh for finding the solution to the meepit part! :hug:

I've played the game 3 times, each time going past level 3 with over 1000 NP, and still haven't got the juice. Is there anything else you need to do first? I got to the Deep Woods and, just to be safe, I found my door with the lighted spots by it.

NOW THIS JUST ISN'T FAIR... or maybe it's too fair... or something...

They fixed the vines while i wasn't looking... took the same path through the woods that i had taken before, and it was riddled with vines this time...
they just don't like me :pout:

I'd like to take this moment to congratulate TNT. This is a totally original way of doing the plot, and a lot of time must have been put into it. Plus, they've been working on the database problems all weekend, on their time off. Thank you!

Mine disappeared for about 1/2hr-45mins earlier tonight while I'd been sorting through them in the clearing. The missing ones eventually reappeared in other locations. My advice would be to just keep checking though all 20 areas every few minutes until you start seeing them again...

No, you just need to beat level 2 and GET to level 3.
