Episode 14

Artifact Seekers Witch Wood Walkthrough

Help Red cure her father, bargain with Lady Caramelissa, restore the Water of Life and cross the lantern maze to Rapunzel's tower. This guide keeps the main item chain readable while separating collectible sweeps, timed stars and clue-driven puzzle boards.

How to read this guide

Actions are grouped by location. Puzzle clues that come from earlier scenes are labeled instead of being replaced with an unverified universal answer. Starting layouts can vary; when they do, follow the method rather than copying a single board.

Main Walkthrough

01

Village, Father's House and the Mill

Collect the first fire emblem, repair the dollhouse clue chain and unlock the mill.

  1. Speak with Red in the village and take Note 1/2 from beneath the pear on the outdoor table. Enter the house on the left and talk to her sick father.
  2. Use the poker beside the fireplace to rake through the coals and take Fire Emblem 1/2. Upstairs, collect the ball of thread and remove the toy soldier from the dollhouse.
  3. Visit the tavern and speak with the bartender. He wants payment before he will explain how to enter the dark forest, so leave for the apple-tree road.
  4. Take the pitchfork from the broken cart. At the mill, collect Bird 1/4 from the well, read the well's request and use the pitchfork on the haystack to recover hay and a needle.
  5. Feed the hay to the sheep on the apple-tree road. Pick up Slab Piece 1/3 and Mill Relief 1/2 from the cleared ground.
  6. Return to the upstairs bedroom and place the needle in the pincushion beside the dollhouse.
  7. Light the dollhouse windows in the same shapes as the illuminated windows seen outside. Take Crescent Moon 1/3 and Mill Relief 2/2.
  8. Place both mill reliefs in the mill door, then move each colored block onto the stone of the same color to open the building.
Puzzle solution

  3. Toggle the panes until the same window shapes are illuminated, then take the moon and mill relief.
Puzzle solution

Mill Door Color Blocks

Randomized puzzle

Starting block positions can differ. Solve by color rather than copying a single move list.

How to solve it

  2. Move one colored block at a time toward the stone carrying the same color.
  3. Keep an escape lane open for the remaining blocks until every color is seated.
02

Mill, Tavern and the Dark Forest Gate

Turn one coin into the bartender's payment, solve the tavern clock and obtain the tree figurine.

  1. Inside the mill, take Crescent Moon 2/3 and the scythe figurine. Give the ball of thread to the cat, then open the exposed bag and take the coin.
  2. Throw the coin into the mill well to receive three coins and a request for clean water. Use the scythe figurine on the cart chest at the apple tree and take Candy Button 1/4.
  3. Pay the bartender with the three coins. Open the cabinet behind him by selecting the heads marked 6, 1 and 4; in the common photographed layout these are the 4th, 1st and 6th heads. Take the envelope.
  4. Collect two sun emblems in the tavern—one behind a note on the bulletin board and one on the beer table. Use the pitchfork on the ceiling beams to pull down Bird 2/4.
  5. Insert the toy soldier in the tavern clock. Following the red-sticker clue on the bulletin board, leave positions 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 covered, then take the hammer figurine.
  6. Put the envelope in the mailbox outside the tavern to obtain Sun 3/4. Use the hammer figurine on the box inside the mill and take the saw and wire.
  7. Fish the signet ring from the village drain with the wire. Give the ring to the bartender and receive the tree figurine.
  8. Insert the tree figurine at the dark-forest gate. Rearrange the slats so that the overlaid layers form one complete tree; finish within seven moves to earn the gate bonus star.
