If you revisit VV2, the "Clearing the vines" puzzle speaks about the elders leaving the shore to stop people who were practicing magic. ANd then there goes the Gong of Wonder dispersion.
I wonder if this means any significance to VV4.

Perhaps the collectibles will now be gemstones, fruits, or leaves.

It's still 98%. *sigh*
