The Riddle for Temp Librarian Plus 3 Makes no effing sense at all.

[darksteelhyren]

Even after turning to the internet for the answer! Seriously, I feel like an idiot. Can anyone explain this to me?

EDIT for reference.

[Ah, you (3)1 cypress trees Nestled atop this Grassy Hill! afflictions of far-of(F L)ands draw Nigh Unto me like wine BARRELs tumbling lightly down a soft incline as I drift into Reverie, Enveloped within the resonance of the tolling Bell!]

[Schiwata]

it probably made more sense in the original language which is japanese

[Stabbey]

"3 FL BARREL" It is indeed obscure, but it translates to 3rd FLoor BARREL. There are only two places in the Zeiss area which have a third floor: Central Factory and the Sankheim Gate. You want the second one.

[Cyouni]

Huh, I didn't even consider that FL could translate to floor.

I wasn't really thinking very hard on that one.

[darksteelhyren]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Damnit, it's as I thought, after you see the answer, it's obvious >.< How did I not see this!

Thank you!

I just googled that whole quest and found the answer, was way too lazy to try and figure out the puzzles.

[darksteelhyren]

I was trying not to do that. I got the first one, that was easy. But the second one, I searched the town, didn't find it, got pissed, looked up the answer, and got furious. The third one, I admit, was a "legit" puzzle and I applaud the difficulty and the sensibility of it.

I found them before through brute force... Went to every nook and cranny available at that time.
I find the Strega Shoes quest harder (full complete). There is no indication whatsoever, if there is, I might have missed it.

You get the full BP for that one by visiting Leiston, Sankheim, Wolf Fort, and Air-Letten. Be sure to actually equip the shoes first. Don't forget about it like I did and have to do it all again.

[Schiwata]

I did that..
but I didn't see anywhere in the game that those areas needs to be passed through.
the game just says a LOT of walking...

[vulmen.matrias]

Actually when the guy hands you the shoes he asks you to run to all those places I think. I recall seeing that message in-game, at least.

one place was not said though, it adds extra bp

exactly

[nonamen]

By a lot of walking it literally means almost the entire Zeiss
the places are Leiston Fortress, Wolf Fort, Sanktheim Gate and for extra bp Air-Letten!

[darksteelhyren]

While I agree with you nonamen, this game channels the trope "Guide dang it!" like a mother-♥♥♥♥♥♥. There is SOOOO much missable ♥♥♥♥ that you couldn't possibly get without a guilde. 8 hidden quests, 2 secret quests, 9 non-trivial carnelian books of which you'd be lucky to find 3 in the course of a normal game...

Your point is valid, but the entire game is like this, so ./shrug

[Schiwata]

game is good nonetheless
