Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle Hints
Trench Four
1 of 19: The summary says something about a variety of seeds and spores, and to see a separate document for the details.
2 of 19: That separate document is also in the briefcase.
3 of 19: It's lying on top of a picture envelope just to the left of the booklet.
4 of 19: It mentions seeds from the Quercus tree species, red berries, and some unidentified fungus.
5 of 19: You can look up the term Quercus if you want to (see question link below), but it should be clear already that this trench's stone wants some sort of plant offering.
6 of 19: To make this offering, you'll have to mix up various types of plants.
7 of 19: There are several plants that you can take samples from if you have an appropriate sample container.
8 of 19: See the Plant-Picking Guide for instructions on finding and gathering all the available plant samples.
9 of 19: Once you have everything collected, go to the one place you can do something with them. (See the above guide if you need this information.)
10 of 19: Now use the above-mentioned separate document to figure out exactly what to grind up in the mortar & pestle.
11 of 19: The first thing it mentions are seeds from the Quercus tree species. You don't have to know what that means, since you only have one type of tree seed (the acorn).
12 of 19: The second thing mentioned is small red berries. No problem there, either.
13 of 19: The third thing is the mushroom type, which is what you need a clue for, since you can have up to six different types in your basket.
14 of 19: However, the report doesn't say what the mushroom type is!
