Okay so,

Click to reveal..
This has to do with honoring the tree with the flowery smelling stew made with fresh water, food, and three sweet smelling herbs (or yellow flowers), but when I have them take it to the tree, they get stuck contemplating the tree for like 3 or 4 minutes and nothing ever happens, no matter how many villagers I have honoring the tree. Any advice?

Try this..

You need to have level 2 of Dendrology purchased. I'm trying it with 20 now which includes my tribe's children and nursing mothers.


Good luck everyone!

It doesn't work....

Click to reveal..
I used fresh water and put the yellow flowers in (and I have 32 villagers) but it just says 'An unfinished stew is cooking'. Am I missing something, or do I need to wait?

Have you put food in your stew?


To complete this event you have to:
Click to reveal..
1. Make a stew containing three yellow herbs and one bowl of food from the food bin (use fresh water)

2. Place 20 villagers on the stew. They will take the stews to the tree and sit down and honor it.

Note: You must have level 2 Dendrology to complete this event.

Should it really be 20 villagers? Mika said drop all your villagers. While Becca said drop 20 villagers, what is the truth? It is really confusing confused ...

...(I Only Have 18 Villagers)

I am still missing something!

Let me see if I have this correct.

Click to reveal..
Complete Puzzles 1, 3, 7, and 8. Attain Level 3 Dendrology. Make a stew with fresh water, 3 yellow flowers, and 1 bowl of food. Place at least 20 villagers at the pot. They will take the bowl to the tree and then contemlate.

I have done this twice and it hasn't worked! What am I doing wrong??

Actually, they are 'honoring the tree', not contemplating. All I can think of is that you haven't used enough villagers. How many do you have (not counting babies)?

Remember that

O.K., so I did all that was instructed, the villagers took the stew and honored the tree, but at around 6 people, the pot was empty. How do I keep enough stew in the pot for all the people to scoop and honor?

Stews shouldn't run out. They evaporate after a few minutes though, maybe your villagers aren't getting to it in time? That's all I can think.

I experienced a bit of weirdness with this one.

Click to reveal..
I had 20 villagers in the tribe when I completed this. However, I got the completion message when only 18 of them were at the tree. But I think the last 2 were on their way, walking to the tree carrying the stew. I'm not certain.

But there were definitely not 20 villagers actually at the tree when I completed it.

the same thing happened to me and it was so weird. they made the stew and I had all the villager(kids included) take it to the tree, then they all just sat there "contemplating" the tree. it was beyond annoying

Hey guys, I'm really confused with puzzle 14. I did all of the puzzles except for 14 and 16. I have 21 villagers (not counting the babies) I made the stew and added food to it. I had all 21 villagers go up to the tree except they did it at different times because some were fast and my old villagers went really slowly. Finally they finished contemplating the tree and a few kids left one at a time and eventually a few people started to leave and then my last, old villager finally left. I have no pop up for "Puzzle Completion" What have I done wrong?

Try it again when you have a few more people and see what happens.
Click to reveal..
That way it won't matter if your slow moving villagers get there late because 20 others will have already arrived. I believe that all 20 need to be there on their knees at the same time, even if they arrive a number of seconds apart.

Re: Questions about Puzzle #14 (contains spoilers) - 07/02/10 04:10 PM

Too late now, but try feeding it a second time to the faster-finishing villagers (kids and any runners probably) so that they all have stew in their hands at the same time.

Grr.. This puzzle irks me.. I can't do it until I have 20 villagers, and I only have 9 villagers, and only have 2 eligible mothers! I wish that the number could be lower, like 15 villagers, or maybe 10? *sigh*

Well, I know it's VERY bothering not to be able to complete it sooner, but the good news is if your bored you have the other games to play on.. and you can make your own goals for yourself... Like:

Getting all the Village Events
All The collections
Make your village as pretty as it can be
Have alot of 5 skilled ones
Have all of your villagers the same hair type/clothes type

...And Much more!

Hope this helps in your hour of patientness! smile
