Hi everyone who has completed the gong, please help me with the last piece in the waterfall.

I tried the strategy posted, made a stew from the black, the red and the orange plants. I let anyone who walk by eat the stew. Some of the villagers who eat return to their normal tasks, others went to enjoy the pond. But those that went to enjoy the pond did not dive to retrieve the last piece of gong.

I tried letting them eat, and then forcefully drag them to the waterfall, it does not work too.

Do I need to get a villager with a specific skill to do the job?

I buy my version from MSN Games, if you need to know.

The black flower and 2 orange ones worked for me. You'll see little star-like things floating just about the stew; and when a Master Builder eats it, drop him in the pond. He will put the gong piece in place also. Other villagers won't do that.

Thanks. I think I messed up this part. Might have disturbed the villagers after they have eaten or no master builder was there when I made the stew. I will start a new game and see if I can get it this time. Thanks again.

A master builder is not required to retrieve the sunken gong piece: any adult villager will do.

Actually, Rain, I have done it with villagers who weren't builders. Any villager of any skill level will work. Must be 14+ however.

Should say that they feel no need to breathe after eating, then drop that adult in the pond.

Hi, I've had other villangers dive and retrieve the gong piece too. But they won't place it in the gong. They put it in the research building.

The villagers won't put gong pieces into the encasement unless you've cleared the way for them -- they put the piece in the research hut for safe keeping until the encasement is clear (and they'll put the pieces in the gong when that happens).

Hi everyone, here's the update of my experience. I start a new tribe, and after I got the cauldron, I made the magic stew. No star-like things were on the stew, but I made my villagers eat it anyway and forcefully drag them to the waterfall. None of them dive to get the piece of gong.

Do you have to buy up to level 3 of Farming or something before making the magic stew?
