After finding yourself in a forest at night and you have successfully dodged some malevolent water sprites you will find yourself at a crossroad.
You may take the path to the castle (blue arrow) and do an optional quest but sooner or later you will have to take the road to the right (red arrow).
However I do not recommend following the road to far out right, at least not yet, what you should do
is follow the path leading through the woods down, as soon as you can. Explore the area and soon you will find yourself on the right path, getting
poisoned, nearly thorn to shreds by hungry wolves and getting saved.
Get a good rest, explore the house of your rescuers a bit and then go outside and have a chat with them...
After chatting up with them a bit and deciding to show your appreciation and proving your worth to your
saviours, you will get a task worthy of a great adventurer, gathering plants! To help you in this arduous and complicated task, Lia volunteered to join you. Yay!
But, first you will have to get some jars in which to store the fragile plants, jars which are located on the second level of the house.
Now, if you follow Lia's instructions you should reach the main road again and follow it to the right a bit,
but be warned, you don't wanna go to far right, just until you can go north. Here you can chose where to go first, the cave or the pastures, but I recommend
you go first to the pastures as that is the path this guide will first take.
Look out for some blue flowers and go get them!
The white & pink flowers are located near the edge of the mountain cliff, guarded by some wasps and a bear,
I strongly recommend that you avoid fighting that bear right now.
The sparkles show the location of the last herbs you will need to collect from the high pastures.
After you are finished with the pastures, you should make your way back to the road and head for the cave this time.
To find the moss required you will have to descend one level deeper into the cave.
The moss is located in the middle of the level and after gathering it, you should head out back to the witches
house to return with the plants!
