Has anyone found the location yet?

The location of the monastery is i12. I would recommend creating the elixir first before going.

Thank you :)

Was mixing this up with an earlier clue. You need to remember that the clue is given from the perspective of someone travelling from where you want to go, to where you're starting from, so all the directions need to be flipped (if something is on your left when you're travelling south, it's going to be on your right when you travel north).

Something which confused me: The description of the monastery's location is giving the path *from* the monastery *to* the city. So when the person says they were travelling west, they mean starting from the monastery, they went west, encountering the given features.

I never would have tried that. The clue says "on the edge of a wood" and that square looks clearly inside of the woods to me. Thanks!

Very confusing, I must admit. I was looking to the west of the town...

[sergiodrg]

I followed the trail and clicked just next to the place. "The edge of the wood" fooled me.

we start from Ravenglass and reverse his route: We go north leaving River Esk to our right. Then we go East crossing two rivers (proper Esk and Duddon) and look for a mass of trees.

I have the ingredient note for the Elixir but don't know how to create it?

If you haven't gotten the glass delivery yet, this would be why. Once the glass is delivered, you can create elixirs. There's an arrow on the top left of the customer shop. You click that, put your three plants in and give it a try. You get rising dread if it's wrong though, so don't try it too many times in a row or your mind breaks. Game won't end, you do a puzzle to get back, but still.

If you're stuck on which plants to use, I don't actually remember the description, but I was able to figure out the plants for the elixirs pretty well. If you post it, I could tell you. Or someone else may have already asked that and gotten an answer, you can search the name of the elixir and see it.

Thank you for that thorough and kind answer! I eventually figured it out myself but I was missing the arrow you mention to switch between locations. Had not realised I had to!

Lol, glad it didn't keep you stuck. I think the devs need to add a tutorial thing that can be dismissed that shows you initially how to work things. I didn't even know how to identify plants to give them to customers when I first started! I've never played a game that didn't identify things in some way, either with labels on everything, mouse-over IDs or a tutorial.

Combined with the completely inadequate plant descriptions in some cases...makes it very frustrating. Many plants don't have a description on the plant that also matches the book entry. Makes it very guess and check in several places.

Concur. This was nothing "edgy" about this wood location.
