The Stew is the ninth puzzle of Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children.

Overview

Stews can be used to heal villagers, make them sick or give them special abilities. The completion of this puzzle will allow the villagers to complete another puzzle involving the gong.

Requirements

• Level 2 Exploration
• 10 Food
• Fire
• Herb Mastery

Steps

1. After purchasing Level 2 Exploration, a cauldron appears in the wood pile at the southwest of the map. Put a villager on top of the cauldron to retrieve it.
2. If there is no fire, ignite one.
3. Drop a villager on the cauldron three times. Once each to put it on the fire, fill it with water and add food.
4. Then, drop a villager on any of the herbs you have mastered adding a total of three to the mix in any combination (you can use multiples of the same herb).

Of course, different selections of herbs will have different results. Keep track of the ingredients in all the stews you make. You want to avoid duplication and don't want to recreate a bad stew (it can make your villagers sick, and it takes some time for a stew to wear off in order to create a new one). If you treat your villagers to the best, they will stay healthy and remain happy.

1. The green plant in the upper left hanging over the wall of stones.
2. The blue flower at the top center just to the right of the cave.
3. The lavender daisy at the far top-right and above the blue flower.
4. The black chain of flowers just above the waterfall on the east.
5. The bright red flowers southeast of the dam.
6. The large red-orange flower to the south of the village.
