[Babbit]

NONE OF THIS WORKS THE GAME IS BROKEN I WANT A REFUND

[safaia5]

Locked Box can also be started by talking to Lady Samia

[sharondornhoff]

Just as a (belated) FYI, the "portrait of despair" also works if you paint Anabelle's grieving captain instead of Horf. Not all that inconvenient, since you'll probably pop back to Lyndow for the cob house and tower commissions at this stage anyway.

[Jellybean]

Quite useful

[creepyclosetcat]

This guide is extremely helpful. However, I seem to have messed up Toma's Apples and Sheltered From The Wind by doing them out of order as I did not get the achievement Family Reunited. The children did not spawn near the apple basket until I saved their father. I even camped out and waited for a day. I'm still missing four locations and five candles too. Hmm..

[stephenqs]

This was a great guide, my wife and I refered to it whenever we got stuck

[lynnann50]

I've completed all but the rare bird which I've read has a glitch. I painted it almost first thing and went to Anika, but was unable to give it too her. I thought maybe the wrong owl?
I had to use the canvas for another painting and now the owl is gone and I cannot complete the game because I cannot paint the owl again. I've read many comments that confirm the glitch. Will anything ever be done to fix this?

[Vitani]

In2white, the eye needs to be painted during the eclipse. You can sell it later to the innkeeper in Lyndow after turn-in to the quest originator.

[Vitani]

Forlance, here is a link to the site where you can use the tilde key and enter commands to do many tasks to help you fix some of the bugs in the game via console commands entered ingame. https://steamah.com/eastshade-console-commands/#:~:text=%20Eastshade%3A%20Console%20Commands%20%201%20Using%20the,items%20as%20it%20appears%20in%20inventory%2C...%20More%20

[𝕚𝕟𝟚𝕨𝕙𝕚𝕥𝕖]

I'm stuck because I've done two paintings of the eye, one at night and one in the day at noon, getting the moon? in the eye but Mudwillow won't accept it so I can't get the tincture and move on. Also, where do you find the tea to put the antidote on, I can't find any tea except at the Shez. Thx for any help. Also, can someone tell me what those hammock like things are that are strung between trees?
