i've read somewhere amidst all of this that there are 16 different totems to "collect" ... i've so far only had 3 elders (one died so i don't remember what she mastered) but i've only gotten 2 unique ones. two look wooden, and one's purple.

i'm assuming the reason i got a repeat is because they mastered the same skills. or was it because they were both women?

either way does anybody know the combinations of skills to get all the different totems?

Thanks in advance

i think its random, all my elders mastered the same skills

noooooo! i was so hoping you weren't going to tell me that!

guess it was just my luck to get the 2nd and 3rd ones the same then... ah well.. thanks tho


any ideas what this "excerising stew" is i've heard of?

There are only 8 totem designs. There are many useful and interesting stew recipes. If you don't want to experiment, there are lots of recipe "books" in the VV2 Guide section.

Yes, it's totally random. The first time I got as far as getting elders each of the first five had the same design of totem. It wan't until I saw the sixth was different that I realised there was more than one type. In the next game I played the first six were all different.

Does anyone has an screenshot/ image of the 8 totems?
So far i have wooden, blueish, purple and a big green one.

I also wondered how many there were and if they were based on skill. That question is answered now, but i still wonder about the other totems

You can see them all here.

thx
