* Please keep all posts on topic. If you would like to speak to someone personally or offtopic, PM them.
* Do not double post. If you were the last to post and you want to add more, please use the "edit" button in the top right of each of your posts.
* Do NOT post long links that STRETCH the page.
NOTE: There is a seperate location your Quest items are stored at, the Quest Inventory. It is accessible from Neovia and presumably cannot be stolen/traded/etc.
1. Click on the burned down house (lower right part of Neovia), you will need to search the remains of the building for a Charred Locket. There seems to be 10 different places it can be hidden in (one is randomly determined for you). As you hover across the image, look at your status bar for the coordinates your cursor is at (at the end of the link, there is a ? followed by a pair of coordinates).
Chair: 67, 201
Fireplace: 80, 135
Couch End: 147, 218
Bookcase: 150, 115
Wall Crack: 175, 145
Sofa Couch: 186, 186
Broken Stair: 210, 130
Broken Boards: 235, 232
Pillow Spring: 308, 199
Table Leg: 364, 195
2. Once you have found the locket, (Don't forget to actually click the button to take it!) Gilly will be able to talk to the following people:
Leroy (Coconut Shy), Lyanka (Cork Gun), Harker (Bagatelle), Sydney (Scratch Cards).
Simply scroll down beyond the game activity to see the conversation. If you cannot see it and you have the Locket in your inventory (check) then try playing one of the games or clear your cache/refresh the pages.
Look for the following Key words in the conversation, and note the locations you found them:
A) "Why, certainly, little miss..."
B) "Amazing! I haven't seen such metalwork..."
C) "That piece of junk?"
D) "It looks familiar..."
And Revisit those places in the order listed! If done correctly, an extra piece of conversation by Gilly should come up:
"Well, it's clear no one around here is going to help me. I wonder if there might be someone deeper in the woods who could identify this locket. "
3. Return to Neovia and you can now access the Shack. Read the next chapter to the comic. (Note that you will no longer have the locket in your inventory) Return to the Shack and you will see a new option to flee. You are now in the Damp Cave. Click the "Go into the scary cave..." button, and.. you will be in a Damp Cave.
4. This cave consists of 9 rooms in a 3x3 pattern. Each cave is unique to each person! Note the items that you come across while going through the cave, you can pick up some of them!
** The Trunk and Table CANNOT be picked up
** The Lamp Post, Key, Chair, Broken Mirror, Rotten Food (from the Trash Pile) CAN.
Note that you can only pick up one thing at a time.
While you traverse the cave, there is something that will scary Gilly off. If you are scared off, you will flee to a random section of the cave (but nothing will have resetted) In order to avoid this you need to put down Rotten Food when you get the "Something seems to be following you..." message. The creature will eat it and slink away.
Go find a cave room that has a moonlit area (there may be more than one room) Place the items in the following spots:
* Garbage: 330, 325
* Mirror: 240, 330
* Lamppost: 240, 215
* Chair: 235, 160 (or alternatively try 225, 155)
When all 4 items are simultaneously in the moonlit room, you will be able to see the "monster" that is scaring you... It's Bruno!!
5. After reading the next comic and seeing a heartfelt reunion, you will now need to go searching in the woods. Return to the Shack to access the woods.
You will need to go through the woods by clicking through the windy trails. Find the two-headed Hissis first. You need to figure out who is lying, in order to help you, you need to be on the look out for a Stick. (You wont be able to find it until you find the Hissis first!) The stick will be on the bottom part of the screen and should be quite obvious. Once you find the stick, return to this Hissis.
Select the stick from your inventory (click the panel with the arrow in the bottom-right corner of your screen) and poke the Hissi. You wil now be able to take the path that they block, which will lead you to the High Woods. If you hit a section of the forest that has no paths, you've found a dead end. You will need to start over by going back to the Shack.
When in the High Woods, you now need to collect vines. There are 5 types of vines that can be picked up from the ground (like how you found the stick from before). When you open up the inventory (bottom right corner) you will see a tally of vines.
If you want to see the name of the vines, click the "View Quest Inventories" link. You can remove vines from your inventory by selecting them and then clicking on the ground.
Pick up all the vines you can find (should be 6 of each, 30 total) and go back to the clearing (a big opening without a path or tree in the middle of the screen) and try and click the opening (the "sky")
You will recieve a message as to whether or not what you have is enough. It seems that the values required are pretty random. Suggestable starting points are: 6-6-4-2-0, 3-4-4-2-0. Change the number of vines on hand and retry until you go to a cutscene with the cliff. Once there, you will get a helpful hint of what you need to do. The first link below demonstrates what these hints may mean.
Still stuck on the vines? Try these methods before posting!
Once you successfully do that, you will now be in The Deep Woods. You will now need to find 7 Ghost Meepits. Traverse through the Woods and try to click a Meepit. You can't get it! Now instead go play a game of Meepit Juice Break and get a score of AT LEAST 300 (complete level 2). Use the PPT guide for this game if you need help. Once you complete this, check in your QUEST INVENTORY for some Meepit Juice.
Return to the woods, select your Meepit Juice from the inventory tab and try and click on a Meepit. (If the juice isn't there, click on a Meepit and let it run away first.) It won't work, but Sophie will turn it into Ghost Meepit juice. Find another Meepit and try again... the Meepit will now stay with you. Continue for all 7 Meepits that are hidden in the woods. Now, find a room with a stone door and 7 lighted spots. Put the Meepits on the lighted spots and move them around until they all dance. A happy Meepit (hands up) indicates that its correct spot is one away from it.
6. Next you need to find out about the Spirit of Slumber. Brain Tree, right? Wrong! Head over to the Game Graveyard, scroll to the bottom, and click on the caretaker's shack. He'll ask you to look for his stolen index book.
...Which can be found by playing Fetch! on Hard. Walk around the maze, and you'll find this book lying on the ground. Pick it up, and you'll be allowed to flee that horrendously tedious game. Now go return to the caretaker!
To Be Continued...

The caretaker looks creepy when he smiles -__-;;;.
Nothing else to do after you give him the books, for now.
And no, you don't have to finish the quest in fetch to get the books;
just look around until you find the books, and it will give you the option to return to the Haunted Woods.

I cant beleive how easy this next step was!
So ya hit the graveyard, talk to the care taker, then go play fetch on hard finding some books no matter what item is asked for and return them?
Wow I think this was my easiest step yet thank goodness!

You don't have to beat it. You'll find the books in your maze somewhere. 
Keep looking, they're there.
Keep looking, they're there.

wow... I'm feeling cheated now... that was far too easy

Next step in plot:
Go to Game Graveyard. At the bottom of the page, there is a link to the caretaker, who mysteriously lost his books. Play Fetch in Hard mode. Find books. Pick up books. Click button to flee. Go back to Game Graveyard and give books to caretaker. Wait patiently for further updating.

This update is horrible. i am on a dial-up connection and its taking me ages to do a few moves.
Thu Oct 19, 2006 12:23 am
From last thread, no you do not have to beat the game, just find the books.
Go to the Game Graveyard, click on the house at the bottom. Then you get a quest from the Caretaker. Go play Fetch! on Hard and find the books, you don't have to win, just get the books. Then go back to the Caretaker and you will get a thank you and the traditional TO BE CONTINUED sign.

Maybe they gave us something small to do while they continue to work on the harder portion of the next step? Or maybe it's just easier to do when you have an entire forum helping you out

I'm still looking for the meepits, and I know what I'm doing, but I have a question. Do you have to keep the maps for the previous parts of the woods?
Thu Oct 19, 2006 12:29 am
Hahaha...another angry yurble...

No worries, we'll have to do something nearly impossible for the next step, probably
