Turning Histachi

Post by bluestinger »

Hey guys, I'm at the point in the Dragons Eye where I have to turn into an Histachi to get past the eye and drop the drawbridge, everytime I drink the brew though, I either die or am poisoned, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, have I not mixed the potion correctly or done things in the wrong sequence somehow, any tips are much appreciated!!! :D

You need to make a brew using the modified mandrake root. Switch the mandrake with the modified one and make the brew from that. Switch them back when done.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Solution

Hey bud, as long as you swop the modified root with whats there already you are actually doing it correctly, what I was doing wrong was coming back to the lab too early and not giving things enough time, I think I slept about 3 times before I got the item succesfuly

Make sure you're not putting the items into the wrong desk/table. Try a few different ones and see what happens.

thanks a buch guys.

I rested for three times after making the first one then got the second one after the third time resting without any trouble at all. I wasnt putting them in the wrong place, just where the regular mandrake root was and switching them there.
