Stuck in Shinshu Field

[spac3chips]

Looking for help cause I'm really going around in circles...

So, I have:

- bloomed the big tree at the centre of the village
- defeated all the villains (priest guy gave me gold dust for it)
- helped pyrotechnics guy with his fireworks and learned the new brush trick

But when I come back at night he only says he's looking for that amazing idea. It doesn't seem to lead anywhere.

Also I know I'm meant to make offerings to the statues in the village but I don't know how. I've read something about the nameless guy giving vases but, in my case, he just says his first post will be ready soon.

It's been like 6 nights and nothing has changed. I'm just stuck...

Any help/tips?

Thanks!

That thing with the statues is a sidequest.

I believe you're supposed to go back to Kamiki Village and bloom the big Konohana Tree that you saw at the beginning of the game. And then bloom all the regular, small trees in the village and then meet Mr. Orange at the top of the hill where you first went to learn Sun brush technique.

Ah ok thanks, will try that. I didn't think I had to go that far back lol.

You will coming back many times to places you visited before, especially if you're going to get all achievements.

Nope, still nothing... I had done the big tree already, so I did all the others, but nothing's changed... :( it's actually Shinshu Field where I'm stuck.

If you did bloom back Konohana in Kamiki you should have the lilly pad brush tech. Just use that where the entrance to the next area is. It should be near the slope leading down to the moon cave and the priest. On the top, next to a group of boars.

It's on the last paragraph. Bloom all the trees, talk to mr. Orange, sakuya will appear and teach you the lily pad technique (draw a circle on the water). Than head to that "water tunnel" in shinshu field, that leads to agata forest

anything i'm here to help

Check your map if there are any areas marked, and the journal in the menu for tips on what you're supposed to be doing right now. By now, you should have the Konohana Tree bloomed in the Shinshu Field, and after going around the place, you should have returned to Kamiki Village and bloom the Konohana Tree over there. Then I believe you have to bloom regular trees - there's a monk guy next to a bridge who will tell you haw many more you have to find.

As to other things you've mentioned, defeating all the villains from the list is a side quest, helping the pyro guy and learning the Cherry Bomb technique is mandatory, but after that you don't have to do anything for this guy (at least for now) and giving offerings for the statues is also a sidequest (and it will take long time, because the Nameless man only gives these vases after certain points in the game, so you can't do that quest yet anyway).

Thank you, the monk guy helped! I was missing 4 trees. Found them, bloomed them. Returned to the monk guy who was very happy and said to "wait for the miracle to happen"... do you know what that means? I returned to the field and still nothing new... I'm so confused, hha.

Here you go ;)

I guess this beginning part of the game might be a little confusing, because you don't really know what you're doing yet, and there's a lot of things from the begining that are either optional, or you can't do them yet, so it's easy to miss what you're supposed to be doing and focus on trying everything else.

On the other hand, your companion Issun and other NPCs are quiet talkative and usually point you in the right direction all the time, and if you forget about anything, simply check the journal in your menu to see some important dialogues you've heard recently.

Go to the top of the village, the village elder is there. Talk to him.

THANK Y'ALL. Went to see Mr Orange and restored the tree - learnt the water lily trick, and went back to the field. I was missing the obvious, wasn't I?

I can now carry on ~

Thanks again!

Read in Logbook and in Journal tap. It should help you to find what to do next.

Another thing about pyrotechnics guy name Tama, after Kamiki's Festival he will back to his house and find new inspiration. You can give him new inspiration with create 2 and 3 Cherry Bomb in the same time near him, and he will give a stray bead after you create it.

Cherry Bomb Lv.2 can upgrade with Toss Money with 120000 Yen in Divine Spring at small island north of N.Ryoshima

Cherry Bomb Lv.3 can upgrade with Toss Money with 300000 Yen in Divine Spring at the hole has 2 crack hole, you can access it by Vine Skill near Konohana Tree after revive it in Kamui.
