Part I: The Miller

  • With one final piece of the board game missing, head to the river BANK.
  • Check the area that is circled in green below, and then use the SAW in your inventory on the wood poles to get wooden RUNGS.
  • Inspect the BROKEN LADDER (circled in yellow) and use the RUNGS on it to be able to climb up the WATERMILL.

Bank

 

  • Once inside, speak to the MILLER’S GHOST.
  • When he disappears, inspect the TABLE (circled in green below) to find a few notes and a STAR PATTERN.

Watermill

  • Investigate the STAR GLOBE (circled in red above) and use the pattern you saw from the table to unlock it.
  • Once it’s open, you’ll find a LOCK OF HAIR for your inventory.
  • Use your SCISSORS on the COVERED PAINTING (circled in white in WATERMILL image above) to get a piece of CLOTH and reveal a mini game.

 

PAINTING MINIGAME

  • The object of this game is to arrange and use the various items in the painting properly.
  • The solution to this puzzle is shown step by step below.

Paint Puzzle One

  • Assemble the scattered pieces of the cat picture (circled in green above) and place the number 96 on the door (circled in blue above)

 

Paint Puzzle Two

  • Place the mail inside the mailbox (circled in white above) and take the pump and give it to the bear (circled in yellow above)

 

Paint Puzzle Three

  • The mailbox will reveal half a horn, take it and combine it with the other half and then use it on the cat painting (circled in blue above).
  • This will reveal the time you need to adjust the cuckoo clock (circled in red) which will then reveal a cuckoo bird holding a balloon.
  • Take the balloon and attach it to the pump (circled in white).
  • The bear will start pumping until the balloon turns into a wand. Use it on the top hat (circled in green above) and it will reveal a FISH symbol for your inventory.
  • Take the FISH symbol outside to the box on the BANK (circled in red on the river BANK image above) and use it to open the box.
  • Inside, you’ll find another piece of DICE (3 of 4) and a DOUBLOON.

 

  • Head back to the FISHERMAN’S HOUSE and investigate the TREASURE CHEST (circled in green below). 
  • Use the can of CLEANING POWDER and the CLOTH to reveal a coin slot.
  • Drop the DOUBLOON in to open the chest.

Fisher House

  • Inside you’ll find a note, a STAMP and a POCKET WATCH for your inventory.
  • Head back to the WATERMILL. Inspect the box which is circled in yellow in the WATERMILL image above.
  • Use your STAMP to start another mini game.

 

STAMP MINI GAME

  • The object of this puzzle is to arrange the tiles so that each vertical column matches the images on the first row.
  • The tiles don’t need to be in any particular order as long as they match colors with the first row.
  • Below is an image of the puzzle one move shy of being solved:

Stamp Puzzle

  • Solving the puzzle will give you a SPYGLASS which you can use at the area marked by a violet circle in the WATERMILL image above.
  • Doing so will start a cutscene which reveals the full scale of TALUTA’S treachery.
  • After this is over, the MILLER hands you an AMULET HALF.
  • You now have the key that will bring you to the heart of this darkness.

 

Part II: The Final Move

OVEN SUDOKU

  • The object of this puzzle is to arrange the different dice so that no similar image exists horizontally, vertically or in a three by three square of each image.

  • Take the VODOO DOLL and JACK along with the NANNY once again appear before you.
