> That's more toward the end. Have you been to the castle in the garden? Have you given soothsayer four gold coins? You need three things to get into the garden castle. One comes from the soothsayer. One comes from Gnome( I don't see it in your inventory). The other thing comes from the tower( I see that item in your inventory).
> Go for a boat ride and look around. Then visit the Gnome. Don't worry about the volcano just yet. You need something in the flower garden castle before you can go down the volcano.


I'm so confused! Isn't the "boat" in FQ2? It comes from the item you can't crawl through in FQ1, right? Thought the sick gnome was in FQ2 also! I've killed lots of monsters in the forest and haven't come across the gnome...he's green and sick in FQ2.

I went back around and am getting nothing! You're right about not having what I need to get into the garden castle. The light kills me and the rabbity phrases don't seem to help... I don't remember how many coins I've found. Know we needed 10 in FQ2. Shoot. Can you steer me closer to what I need to do?

Thanks so much for trying!!
