Offering to the God

Just after “the seed gathering run”, it’s possible to talk to Frode at the bar at night to learn more about gods and how to pray to them.
In case you haven’t found it (or forgot about it), there’s a statue of Máng close to the bulls’temple, but you’ll need the proper prayer and offering. Ebb, Flo and Frode do have something to say if you ask them, then it’s a matter of choosing appropriate items; for now, these are the offerings:

• Witer
  • 2 star shards: the obvious offering is the only thing Máng keeps around often: tea, which means you should have Parif prepare some labrador tea (the previous quest should have taught you about the berries’and labrador tea leaves’locations, lemons are at Ebb and Flo’s hut), and use it as offering. Máng will leave 2 phials of star shards and have some dialogue if you visit him. Note: this is NOT repeatable.
  • star pocket watch: quite a secret one, but Máng upgrades your pocket watch (in Chet’s shop since the very beginning for 100 gold) to the star pocket watch, which gives +30 max HP and +20 max MP (and you can still see the time, of course).
  • star stone: also a secret, this is him keeping the storybook (given by king Harald in the cave dungeon if you skipped his battle with the prince badge only) in exchange for a star stone, throw it in the holy pool in the bull temple to let it absorb 50 COR, in addition to the standard 100 COR it heals each playthrough. The storybook is then gone forever, so be careful! That extra CHA point might come in handy for some checks or battles, if you can just keep your COR in check (remember labrador tea can be cooked easily to lower it).
  • nightstar sachet: again, a secret, it is an upgraded dawnstar sachet (buyable from Chet at any time for 500 coins) that heals 8 MP every turn and also adds 2 DEF, pretty solid defensive equipment.

Note: If Witer isn’t in the tavern, you probably haven’t met him at the forest’s entrance yet (that’s another short event available after coming back), it’s the “!” just right of the tavern. If you don’t know Máng’s name yet, enter the painting and talk to him until you find out.
