You must have a cutting tool (puzzle #1) The plants also won't be healthy until a few hours after the stream is restored (puzzle #2)

If you drag the villager covered in gunk slowly to the the tree, so that they can rub the sticky stuff off, watch what also follow the villager to the tree. wink

After you restore the stream there is a plant near the end of it (on the left side of the map), after a little while it will recover and you drop a villager on it and they will get a cutting tool and cut it.

You have to have the stream to where it fills the pool and runs down and under the bridge to the lab, the plant is to the left of the bridge

What you need is to slowly and carefully watch what is going on around the villager, and keep it happening until their done rubbing the sticky juice off. wink

Re: Questions about Puzzle #5 (contains spoilers) - 02/25/10 07:33 PM

I have done all that 6 times now and when all the juice is off the butterflies just fly back to the plant and the villager just stands there. I am level 3 on farming and level 2 on the others, I have healed the trees branch and sealed it with soap is that why? Plus I have done most of the other puzzles. Just cannot get this one. So what part of the tree although I have tried all over and different kinds of villagers. Is it a glitch?

After cutting and cleaning the branch. Drag a player to the stalks plant again then to the tree of life root next to the hole for wiping that will attract the butterflies to the tree of life. puzzle solved.

This is what i did
Click to reveal..

My player is a master scientist,master builder,and adept farmer.
I had extra cloths in the hut and level 2 in dendrology. I dragged that player to the stalks plant for cutting. After he finished and filled with the sticky juice I slowly dragged that player with the butterflies following him to the front left big root of the tree and he started wiping it down. When he finished wiping it clean the butterflies gathered.

Had 2 villagers "leap-frogging" each other and the butterflies followed until they get to the Mausoleaum area where the kids "play in the dirt" then the butterflies go back to the plant by the side of the stream.

I think you just were going too fast at one moment. If the butterflies followed your villager until this point, they'll follow him until the tree!!
Just try again, slowwwwwwwwly!! laugh

Re: Questions about Puzzle #5 (contains spoilers) - 03/29/10 04:52 PM

does he have to be a master in something. I have tried just about everyone and they act very confused. Can't even get them to cut the vines. And where are the vines located at I have had the stream going for three days.

Posted by: laurence

Re: Questions about Puzzle #5 (contains spoilers) - 03/29/10 07:27 PM

No, he doesn't have to be master, any adult villager is able to do it.

At the beginning, he'll go to take a cutting tool. Are you sure there are some cutting tools in the research lab?

The best manner to know if the plant is "ready" is that it's surrounded by the butterflies.

When you can see a kind of green "fog" around him, you may start to the tree.

You mention vines. Are you sure you aren't getting confused with another puzzle? This thread relates to the butterflies puzzle. The plants referred to here are a clump of reeds by the stream, near the blackberry bush. Drop a villager there and s/he'll go to fetch a cutting tool. See earlier in the thread for more help.

Vines appear in the solution for Puzzle #8.
