it’ll become clear after you obtain journal entry 15. Obtain it, solve it, make it snow.
Also, just discovered the knowledge you gain from trees only actually works if you create a save after obtaining. Player knowledge is not enough, apparently. Even having a journal entry (but not reading it) can prevent you from crafting something despite knowing the recipe.
It involves the tree that wants the Lilyth. Once you can properly handle one and talk to it, I believe it tells you about something underneath it. If you didn't get the hint after showing it the Lilyth the tree then becomes the one that slaps your butt. The tree that gives you the Crusty Key is the tree you are looking for.
Thing is I don’t know how to get a lilyth. I’m stuck and could use some help. I’m trying to get True-Sight but I’m not sure how to progress. I’ve eaten the mushrooms in all possible combinations and even tried brewing them, but nothing’s working.
I’ve made it to Zeta and completed the Lab, but now I’m stuck at the manor. I’ve reached Jessica’s room, explored the basement, and checked the witch’s room, but I can’t figure out how to open the library. Any straight forward advice on how to move forward would be really appreciated!
The recipe for the potion to handle a Lilyth, as well as a pair of correct numbers to search the bookshelf for, are located through a portal that will appear once you complete the festival of life or otherwise make it rain. Page 8 of the journal contains an almost correct recipe for True Sight. You do need to eat the mushrooms to get True Sight, brewing them does nothing but waste them.
The Library Key is located within Lady Jessica’s room.
The recipe for True Sight is Echoshroom, Mind Sap, and Death’s Candle. To enter Lady Jessica’s room you will (possibly) need a light source and her outfit from one of the chests on the East Wing of the manor. You will likely encounter the mimic chest which will prevent you for changing your outfit. The mimic dress can be stripped by the upstairs hallway wind trap. Once you are wearing her outfit enter the room in the upper right side of the East Wing near the Library. Go south until you get possessed by the red ghost. Go to Lady Jessica’s door and it will unlock itself and let you enter. Normally, I’d wait here until the possession expires but the mirror trap will always trigger in my experience when you pass by the mirror in the bathroom to pick up the Library Key in the bathtub.
I know I’m a bit of a bother, but how do i get the key for the rusty chest, I’ve scanned through journals back and fourth(I don’t have the 11 page) and I haven’t figured out if there’s a hidden clue for making it rain or finding the key to the rusty chest. I haven’t found a use fore the crusty key, though i suspect its use is in through the portal. I got true sight and went around the forest, exhausted all dialog and tried to identify every mushroom, still haven’t found the Lilyth, and my guess the key to all my problems is in the rusty chest, in one entry is says something about snowing and mentions the chest.
Maybe i soft locked myself by going to Zeta early?(I found the way to Zeta from the forest, journal page 9 (i think) has the answer to that.) Or do i need to go to the nightmare forest with true-sight, but i need a boatload of drugs to stay asleep because i start in Lab to get then get to the elevator and then get the key in the basement to then paint the door to the forest. and by the time I get true sight I’m on the edge of waking up.
As for the library in the mansion, i got in but i couldn’t interact with the bookshelf, i know that it is linked to a painting that tells you numbers i wont spoil it, and my guess is that it’s a thing that the in-game character must know, possibly in the same dream cycle.
Any help is much-needed and appreciated! Have a nice day/night.
