You don't need the Golden Child for puzzle #12. PM ladycfii, treefern, or tiggerwill if you want more info. I made the mistake of thinking the GC would help solve puzzle #12, and then all of my master builders died, leaving me in the lurch!! I had to start over, but didn't want explicit help or cheats, so I am giving it another try.

Good luck! It truly is a great game.
