Your chief must direct work on the statue, so drop him/her on the statue to begin this process - if the chief stops directing work, then progress will halt until you return the chief to his/her duties. That villager will then build scaffolding to help anchor the statue. Drag an adult villager (not a nursing mom) up the path to the door until he/she 'Sees a good place to anchor the statue' - this villager is more likely to be successful if he/she has some building skill. Drop the Master Builder on the chalkboard (which will be blank after the bath is completed), and he/she will draw up plans for the statue. You will need Level 3 Restoration, Level 3 Leadership, a tribal chief, a Master Builder, and a completed bath (solved Puzzle 8). NOTE: The Chalkboard will not clear until the project is complete.- Lara Drop your builders on the bath to complete the project. Drop your builder on the 'chalkboard' in the alchemy lab (he/she will 'see' it if you fly them over the lab) - he/she will create the the plans for the bath. You will need to have completed Puzzle 3 and have a Master Builder.

I collected 7 pieces but then, my villagers cleared the rubble over night and I hardly ever see tablet pieces there any more. You may want to watch this process carefully if you want all the tablet pieces. NOTE: When you are about 2% in to clearing the rubble, tablet pieces will start to appear for the children to collect. He/she will clear away the rocks, gaining building skill (more builders will accomplish this task faster). Drop a villager (preferably a builder) on the pile of rocks at the bottom of the map. TO USE THE LIFT: See Puzzle 10 - 'The Orchard' - Lara If you have done this correctly, the lift will be repaired quickly.

Make sure their action line reads 'repairing the lift'. Once you have purchased the tech, drop your 3 builders on the 'strange machine' in the orchard. You will need 3 Adept Builders and Level 2 Restoration. You will know they are successful when sparkles appear over their heads and under their feet. Then drop the farmers on the fire, and they will join in. You will need Level 2 Leadership, a tribal chief, and 3 Adept Farmers. NOTE: This is perfect for training builders for another puzzle so put at least 3 villagers on this task! - Lara Have your villagers remove these leaves, which uncovers the roster of the dead (they will gain building skill trained builders can accomplish this faster). I had a hard time finding it b/c I had dropped villagers ~near~ it before but never directly ~on~ it so no one ever picked it up and I assumed it was just part of the background! - Lara)Īt the far right of the map (use keyboard shortcut '3' to get there) is a grassy area - at the upper right of this area is a big leafy bush. It's in the bottom right area of the map near some foliage (it kinda blends into the scenery a little). NOTE: I had a hard time finding the spear. Returning all five items solves the puzzle. Drop your scientist(s) on each item and they will return it to the lab - if they drop the item before reaching the lab, it will warp back to where you found it originally. Scattered around the village (random locations) are 2 colored pots (red or yellow with white stripes), a brown pot, a gray bowl with spoons, and a short spear (orange-brown handle with gray blade). You will need an Adept Scientist (or more than one). He/she will return the torch to the hive and calm the bees so you can collect honey. Then drop an adult villager on the burned out torches below the hive. (You will need to repeat this process each time the chief dies.)įirst, light the fire (collect wood and dry grass in the firepit, then light the fire). If you can't find your chief right away, wait until the moms no longer have babies and drop them on the robe. Solving the Puzzles is what this game is all about so PLEASE, consider this section as a last resort for when you are REALLY stuck! Why ruin all the fun, right? =)ĭrop all your villagers on the robes in the amphitheater: any villager except nursing moms can become chief.
