Yeah that may be a good idea. Thanks a lot for the help. Now the only place left to visit is Solomon's Temple in Habala Desert. I did manage to get the door to the left of the main building open, after pulling some switches on the lower floor with timer, but I can't see any other switches that will open the one on the right. The one on the upper floor releases poison.


Yeah the one on the upper floor is indeed a troll move. There is another switch hidden behind a pillar. The one hidden behind a pillar was no accident... Kinda hid that one on purpose.

I found all 7 numbers (6,1,8,3,5,0,4) but how am I supposed to get the correct one without any clues? A 7 digit password has 5040 possible combinations (7! = 5040). Guessing it will take ages. A little clue would have helped.

Good lord I didn't even think about that... Tell you what, how about I just give you the combination via PM and I'll make yet another quick patch and I'll make it so that the numbers you find from first to last, that's the combination. Oh wait... apparently I already did. Then I'll just add a readable hint. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay, I'm nearly done with the quests. Just one more thing, I got a Potent Antidote Recipe before exploring the mine with Jump Boots but where or to who am I supposed to bring it? I tried Woodhearst and the witches in Grado but they were not of any help and there's no indication on the item description what the missing ingredient is.

That's kind of a useless item and really only just serves for plot purposes. As for the ingredient, if you go to the Pinemire Bunkhouse near the entrance to the mine, You'll find a chemistry set with written instructions on the wall next to it. It will tell you the ingredient you need, Which is a Shittake Mushroom. And as of right now, there isn't a way to get more besides just getting some from Nobunaga's Castle. and if you've already completed the castle, there's no way to go back to it.
Oh, and you can make the antidote yourself by messing with the chem set at the bunkhouse and have the mushroom (1 mushroom makes 5 Antidotes)... But remember that Flower has Cure II and she'll be very helpful in the mine.

Okay, I searched around Lightviolet Merchant Docks but couldn't find it anywhere, or a place to jump for that matter. And since getting the 4th star shard leads to the endgame and I'm given the option to finish any remaining quests before proceeding, want everything to be done before finishing the game. I found the Swamp Boots earlier and Ice Boots but I don't know where to get the Jump Boots. Also, there's a 7 digit number in the temple in South Grado but I only found 3 digits.


The jump boots are found at Pinemire mine. Little bit north from Lightviolet. You'll have to solve a puzzle in the dark to get them however... nor have it caved in by rubble at that point. And you'll know you can jump on something if you see a small dark patch on the ground with jump boots equipped by anyone.
And to find the seven digit number, you'll need to explore the temple further and throughout you'll find random numbers on the wall. Write those down on notepad or something. They aren't in order, so you'll have to try different combinations with the numbers you find.

Okay I have the first three items but I don't know where to find a cookie or who bakes it.


You only need one of those food items for sam. And the cookie can be found at the Lightviolet Merchants docks... But you'll need the jumping boots to make it.

Okay, I found Flower and reached a town called Lowestoft. I'm tasked to investigate the village and found a Journal Key. The thing is, I couldn't find anything that remotely resembles a journal within the village and I'm also supposed to find sweets for one of the kids who knows something but couldn't find any. A little help here perhaps?

Grab yourself a Mafruka, Tocaez Coconut macaroon, Tocaez Berry cake or a cookie. Cookie yields the best results but requires certain equipment to get it. Either way, Sweet Tooth Sam will give you a shovel and depending on what you give him, he'll tell you where the journals are buried.
Also, The Tocaez food items can be made by a chef named Saul in Faymoor.

Okay, I left the red box to the last and the pathway opened. I didn't do anything differently this time except I didn't hit the purple orb since I didn't make a mistake. Maybe it was messing with the event or a bug only I had encountered. Btw I've noticed that 6th floor was laggier than other floors but that's likely due to its size.


Glad it opened for you. I'll look at the events of the 6th floor one more time just to make sure.
And I think it lags due to the fact that there are alot more animated torches than usual. Cheers.

Alright, I got the third star shard and entered Tocaez Temple in the jungle. I made it through 5 floors with box puzzles but am stuck on the sixth one. Even though I pushed all boxes onto their appropriate buttons (yellow box to yellow button), nothing was triggered and I couldn't find any set of stairs either. Is this a bug or is this part incomplete?
That's strange... I just tested the 6th floor of the Tocaez hidden temple and it works fine. I even double checked and made sure all the events are correct. Are you sure you got all the boxes? There's four of them with four buttons. Also, Stairs are located near the area where you find the green box.
However I did find a bug with the moving tiles going into the wrong direction on the 6th floor, which will be fixed pretty quickly.
I believe it was the 6th floor. Or was it 5th? I lost count honestly. There were four buttons (red, blue, yellow and green) and the room with green button had spikes. Green box is located next to the yellow button. I didn't encounter any problems with moving tiles though. Additionally, I had to hit the purple reset orb once because I had made a mistake by getting one of the boxes stuck while moving.


Sounds like the 6th floor. And there was only one moving tile that had issues and it was an unimportant one.
Anyway, I just tested it again on my non-gaming rig without the advantage of debug and it still works just fine. It's possible that the red box might've slipped your mind after pushing it onto it's closest moving tile. Because it hides behind a large statue.
And yeah, you do have to be careful where to push your boxes. Let me give you a little tip, before doing anything in a puzzle room, search for boxes and buttons first, then after that, plan your route and then execute.

Yes random encounters and especially when using the ship!
Probably just me as I do not like the frustration aspect of too many encounters when searching areas etc.Perhaps I am a minority of one about this.Even so your game is still a great one.


I can understand that. I'll keep that in mind for the next update. Cheers.
