Anachronox Hints
Which merchant is that, and how do I get his leaf?
1 of 9: Near the village entrance, a merchant will offer you a gold leaf if you can find 12 ripe berries.
2 of 9: You can pick the berries off any of the three bushes in the village.
3 of 9: One is near the entrance, next to the pool/stream of water (not the well).
4 of 9: One is about halfway into the village, next to a kid who bragged about how he made his sister eat an unripe berry.
5 of 9: And the third is just before the bridge to the temple.
6 of 9: If you click on all of the berries to pick them, you should have a total of 12 berries, but not all of them are ripe.
7 of 9: The child told you that soaking the berries in water would make them look ripe but that they're still not safe to eat.
8 of 9: You can soak them in the water by the village entrance if you want to cheat the merchant to get your total of 12. If you don't cheat him and just give him what you have, he'll give you a silver leaf instead.
9 of 9: It's really up to you -- the Chieftainess will still read your fortune if you're short this gold leaf.
