Walking in the forest only returns you back to where you started. You would need help from a local.
Who is the local?
The crying boy appeared near the forest!
He doesn't stop crying
Show me how to be nice to the crying boy
I got some advice for the forest
The mushrooms are having a game
Any hints on the mushrooms?
More help?
Is there a rule I can follow?
9 hints available
Who is the local?
Advance other stuff until someone willing to help appears. ( Visit La Befana's tent. Try to meet La Befana. Try to find out the answer to the last question. )
The crying boy at the forest entrance is the local guide for you. Talk to him.
He doesn't stop crying
You have to be nice to him.
Show me how to be nice to the crying boy
Answer these options:
Why are you crying?
Don't worry, feel free to share anything.
No reason to feel troubled. Let it all out.
I can help you if you like.
So what's the plan? What do you want me to do?
I got some advice for the forest
You have to talk to the mushrooms. You should do that in the second forest scene.
The mushrooms are having a game
Yes. There are two mushrooms in every scene. They will tell you about the destination you should pick. The catch is that the other will always tell the truth while the other lies.
You would need to deduct which one is lying and which one is truthful.
Any hints on the mushrooms?
Of the presented questions only two questions really matter. ( "Which path leads to the Old Man's cabin" and "Which path would the other mushroom tell me to follow..." )
"Which path leads to the Old Man's cabin" and "Which path would the other mushroom tell me to follow..."
More help?
Let's see, we have two mushrooms, Left and Right. They could, for example, answer like this:
Question
Mushroom Left
Mushroom Right
Which path leads...
southwest
east
Which path would the other...
southwest
southwest
Now, test the answers so that either Left or Right is lying. Only the one option will work as the mushroom should lie also in the "Which path would the other..." question.
The correct option in this example is ( east. The Right mushroom is telling the truth. )
east. The Right mushroom is telling the truth.
Is there a rule I can follow?
Yes. Ask first "Which path leads...", you get two directions. Then ask "Which path would the other..." you get only one direction from both mushrooms. That single direction is the incorrect one. You should go to the direction they didn't say as answer to the "Which path would the other..." but that was answered in the first question by either of them.
For example:
Question
Mushroom Left
Mushroom Right
Which path leads...
east
north
Which path would the other...
north
north
The correct direction in this example is east. These will differ from game to game so you must just ask the questions and walk into the correct direction. If you end up in the beginning screen, you made a mistake.
