Thora Dunn

[Royce Cooliage]

I'm struggling to find what to give Thora Dunn to cure her husband after he ate the mushrooms he found.

I think it may be Gandyroot but I don't believe I have it yet. Can anyone give me a hint as to where it is or if it is even the correct plant?

Have done a bit of digging and seems that I do have Gandyroot but it is not what she is looking for

When she first came to you she should have told you where he went foraging - if you go there, you can get a sample of the mushroom, which will tell you which cure is needed

Legend, thank you!

I'm stuck there too, is there some sort of letter that tells you what the cure is? I don't seem to have it

If you go look at your distillery area, you might find such a letter in there, yes ;)

thank you!!!

Went there found the mushrooms, their description does NOT tell you what cure you need. You could use 3 or 4 plants for those symptoms, or for the wife to alleviate her worry (yes, i even tried that). The solution is very hazy and leaves room for tons of interpretation.
As for the letter in the distillery area, is that a joke? How could you give THAT as "cure" for what those mushrooms cause...
I am sorry, but I find the game highly enjoyable, with certain flaws here and there, which I will be mentioning in a review, but this Thora Dunn thing I am really finding a hard time accepting.

Hm, I don't know, the puzzle seemed pretty logical to me.

- The wife tells you where to find the mushrooms.
- You go there (if you haven't already) and find Farmer's Worry.
- The grimoire tells you that Farmer's Worry is "only safe to consume in small quantities", but as the wife says, her husband ate a whole bunch of them and is now ill.
- The "Patterson's Guide to Fatal Fungi" tells you that Royal Gentia can be used to cure fatal poisoning by Farmer's Worry. You have to find the guide first of course, but even if you don't, one click on the hint button tells you where to find it.

I think you may have misunderstood one of the previous posters? When they said "(...) Farmer's Worry, which tells you which cure is needed", I don't think they meant "the cure is mentioned on the Farmer's Worry grimoire page". They didn't even mention the grimoire.

I'm not sure I understand your line of thought here. I mean, we don't even know what the mushrooms cause exactly when eaten in bulk, just that it is fatal. And we don't know how Royal Gentia works exactly, just that it has several beneficial uses.

Where do you see the "joke"? Are you confusing the "extreme fatigue" after eating a _small_ small amount of Farmer's Worry with the fatal poisoning caused by eating _large_ amounts, and/or do you think that Royal Gentia has only the one use that is listed in the grimoire?

I mean, plants can clearly have radically different uses. Just like the tubers of the common potato plant are yummy and nutritious, whereas the fruits are toxic. Are you saying that some part of Royal Gentia shouldn't be able to cure Farmer's Worry poisoning just because the plant's sap helps against Swiftsnare?

Game almost 100% handholds you through, honestly almost all of this stuff. She tells you where to go, you have a book to help you identify the mushrooms which you find when you go there, and there is literally a letter saying "poisoning by this mushroom needs treated with this thing."

I guess if its really a problem they could make it easier and just every time someone informs you of a place or you get a letter pointing you somewhere it highlights it, but that is like half the game.

You're supposed to read the letter in the distillery area. The letter itself isn't the cure. :)

This puzzle hinges on seeing the note in the distillery area. It's quite easy to miss. The method deviates somewhat from the rest (all other clues are found either in the desk or by recurring means, such as mail or map).

Without having progressed further into the game, I would say that this particular solution is somewhat perturbing and less fair than the rest. It's an outlier.
