Syrion Potion Quest

How are you supposed to do Syrion's potion quest? I got the scene by waiting for him to enter the apartment building, then talking to him. I thought it seemed broken, but I wasn't sure why. Apparently I've been skipping the potion quest and using a bug to bypass it.

I've tried to figure out how to do the potion quest and I'm still stuck. I spent way longer than I think I was supposed to just waiting for him to go down to the potion, and once down there I did learn what he needed for the potion, but now I don't know how I'm supposed to give it to him.

Trying to complete this quest has kept me feeling lost and like I'm doing something wrong through each step. I'm still not entirely certain if he just goes into the basement after time passes or if there is an amount of progress the player must meet first. At no point does talking to him have him even mention the potion, and it takes him a while to go to the potion. When he is inside the basement there is a sign that says back at 9 A.M. but the only clock I can see is entirely unmarked and seemingly works in a single loop, meaning that there would be distinction between A.M. and P.M. The sign also seems to disappear once he leaves the room too, so a new player would need to see him enter to even know he goes down there.

Once he is inside the basement and working on the potion you can finally learn what he needs in order to complete the potion, but he doesn't seem to say anything if you talk to him and I don't know how to acquire the ingredients he needs. For the ectoplasm thought the ghosts would be the way to acquire it, but even after trying with an empty vial in my inventory they didn't give me any. For the slime essence there are two different slime types, so stating which color of slime would be a nice start, but even after that neither slime seemed to give me slime essence.

I assume it isn't about the powers as I already have both the ghost and slime powers and it didn't solve anything. I'm not an expert, but I doubt most players are going to be following a single NPC around, so most are probably not even going to find out he has a quest, and even if they do I don't know if they're going to be able to figure out how to meet the requirements to complete it.

Also, was he meant to have a watersports scene or am I misremembering? I thought I remembered one of the devlogs saying something about watersports, but I'm not seeing it when I checked through the devlogs.

If the ectoplasm is connected to the secret tunnel accessed from the city then I have absolutely no clue how to access that either. I'm under the assumption that it has something to do with the guy standing outside the the shop that goes slightly transparent when you get close to him, but I can't seem to interact with him at all. Actually, I tried again to see if I could figure out how to interact with him and found out that the Ivan's pants also go slightly transparent, so I'm not sure if the transparency is a bug or if that's supposed to happen.

You need Ectoplasm & Slime from the same area. They are both at the haunted hotel.

There is a Time system you can check on your map. He always works from 9am to 8pm then walks back home.

Before then, he reads until its time to work, or is located at his apartment.

I have explored the whole inside of the Hotel, except for the secret tunnel, and searched inside the building behind Omega, but I haven't found any ectoplasm or slime essence. The map says 8/8 secrets found, but checking the inventory shows I haven't found either ingredient.

I'm also still not clear on how I'm meant to deliver the ingredients. Am I just supposed to talk to him once the ingredients are inside the inventory?

yes, i also can;t help you with solving it, as Im the developer, just telling you how to beat it would be the opposite of why i make the game.


The next version of the game will have a quest and hint system.

I hope its a good hint system, considering I think I'd rather just give up on this quest instead of actually continue running around one area with no real direction.

Also, you never did answer the last question I put on the original post.

When will the next version be ready?
