Thanks pk. I'll read thru those. Stuck trying to solve Aldreds secret, Evelyns final secret, Nells final secret and the Crones. I believe, there are still 4 empty "clue" boxes, and I have absolutelu no idea where/how to fill those last 4 boxes, with what I believe is the final clue for each of the 4 remaining secrets. W/O them, I cant solve my way past the subjects questions.
Don't rely on the number of empty clue slots. Clues combine and even vanish once used, so that's not a good indicator.
Aldred: part of Evelyn's secret. If you see the option to reveal his secret when talking with him, you have all the clues necessary for him.
Evelyn: Once you reveal Aldred's secret, you're set.
With both, you have to talk to them about what you learned after revealing the secret.
Nell: there are only two clues. 1, earn Samarra's complete respect, then visit Samarra in her tent and "talk about samarra" until she tells you the story of how she adopted Nell. 2, having gotten the first clue, solve the riddle of the Fairy queen's vision, and tell her what you learned from Samarra.
Crone: this is hard, there are several clues scattered throughout the game and finding them is non-obvious. The in-game to-do list provides some hints, and once you begin revealing the secret the dialogue provides very clear nudges about what clues you need to provide in what order.
If you've done the following, you have all the clues you need:
- Having read about the royal family in the library, talk to Thaddeus about the topic. This is the least obvious step.
- After you visit the Leanan Sidhe twice, a few days later you're compelled to visit her a third time. The crone intervenes and you pick up a clue.
- You need to have seen someone bathing in the river in the afternoon.
- You will have gotten some clues in the process of solving Evelyn's large secret and Primrose's large secret.
- You will have gotten a few more clues in the course of getting the crone's training.
