Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children Puzzle Guide and Solution

سريع (and hopefully comprehensive) guide to the puzzles in VV2: Lost Children. This is the first guide I’ve ever made, so go easy on me, please. If I’ve missed or have incorrectly entered anything, please don’t be afraid to let me know as I would greatly appreciate it!

لغز 1: نار

Have one of your villagers gather the dry wood near the damaged hut in the bottom left. They’ll take it to the fire pit by themselves. بعد ذلك, you’ll need to collect dry grass from the bush directly behind and to the left of the coconut trees. Then drag a villager to the fire pit and you’ll have fire!

ملحوظة: The fire will go out after 19* ساعات (real-time, not in-game), and you’ll have to relight it or your villagers are likely to get sick, but simply adding more dry wood will bring your time back up to 19* ساعات. Be careful and keep an eye on your remaining time!

*This number is based on playing at normal speed. Length of time will differ depending on the speed you choose time to pass in the options menu.

لغز 2: The Dam

Required: Lv. 2 هندسة

Simply drag a villager (preferably one who has some building experience) to the cluster of small rocks just before the river widens back out into the shallow pool. It’ll take a while though.

لغز 3: The Scarecrow

Required: Adept Farmer, The Dam

After finishing the dam, birds will start eating the crops on the subsequential farm! Oh no!!! The only way to get rid of them and get a steady food source is to build a bird’s nemesis: The Scarecrow!

Drag an adept farmer or higher over to the twisted vines just right of the giant stone face and left of the graveyard. You’ll have to do it twice for it to be completed!

لغز 4: The Cutting Tool

Required: Master Scientist, Lv. 2 استكشاف

Drag a master scientist to the rock pile between the stone face and graveyard, specifically just to the right of it. You’ll know you have the correct spot if the action bar says the scientist sees something. They’ll take some rock back to the science hut. بعد ذلك, grab the same scientist and drag them over to the twisted vines. They’ll take these back as well and tada! Cutting tool!

لغز 5: Herb Mastery

There are several “Strange Plants” scattered around the island. Having a villager examine all of them will earn you this puzzle. We’ll start with the blue rose just to the right of the giant stone face at 12 o’clock. Clockwise, there’s:

• The blue rose between the stone face and the pile of rocks
• a pale blue-ish purple flower at the top of the graveyard area (it’s really faint, so look close!)
• a line of dark blue flowers next to the top of the waterfall in the same area
• a pink flower at the base of the vines near the shallow pool
• an orange flower almost at 6 o’clock
• a sort of green stump next to the “dry grass bush”

لغز 6: The Elder Totem

متطلبات: A Wise Elder

This is relatively easy to achieve. أ “Wise Elder” is a villager that has mastered at least 3 different skills. This puzzle will be achieved by acquiring a Wise Elder. You get a movable totem for achieving this puzzle.

لغز 7: Sustainable Fishing

متطلبات: Lv.3 Farming, Master Farmer, Master Scientist

At some point in the game, your villagers will end up overfishing and the ocean will become covered in algae. Your villagers won’t fish in algae-covered water!

To fix the algae problem take both a master farmer and a master scientist, plop ’em both in the pond. They’ll grab a fish and take it to the ocean. The fish will eat the algae and infinite fishing is yours! Mwahahaha!

لغز 8: The Vine Wall

Requires: Lv.3 Culture, The Cutting Tool

Simply dragging a villager to the vines will cause them to start clearing the area. مرة أخرى, this will take a while…

لغز 9: The Stew

Required: Lv.2 Exploration, Herb Mastery, نار, 10+ طعام

After unlocking level 2 exploration something black appears atop the pile of dry wood in the lower-left corner. Setting a villager to pick it up reveals that it’s a cauldron! Your villager will take it to the fire pit, but you’ll have to drag a villager over to it a few times to actually make stew. (Once to put it in the actual fire, another to put food in it, and lastly to add water.)

بعد ذلك, you’ll need herbs. As in all those pretty flowers we went to look at back in the 5th puzzle. Grab a villager and have them collect three herbs for the pot! Different combos make different stews, and you can use 3 of the same herb too.

Some stews are harmful, but others give you buffs or even heal your villagers! Have fun experimenting!!!

ملحوظة: You’ll have to repeat these steps from start to finish every time you want to make a stew.

لغز 10: The Ancient Mosaic

متطلبات: Lv.3 Engineering, Lv.3 Culture, The Dam

Drag one or more villagers over to where the shallow pool used to be in the lower right. They’ll start uncovering the mosaic, and this puzzle will be complete when they finish.

Why are almost all the puzzles so time-consuming….? This will take a while…

لغز 11: The Hospital

متطلبات: Lv.3 Engineering, Lv.3 Medicine

Unlocking Lv.3 in both engineering and medicine will cause a new building foundation to appear to the south of the fire. Building it up will create the hospital.

لغز 12: The Sewing Hut

Required: Village population of 15+

After your village increases to a population of 15+ two new building areas will pop up. The one nearest the repaired shack on the beach will be the sewing hut.

لغز 13: The Sunken Gong Piece

متطلبات: The Stew Puzzle Completion

To accomplish this one you’ll need to make a very special stew. Make a stew with two of the big red flowers almost directly south of the village and one of the long vine of dark blue flowers just above the waterfall.

After your villager eats the stew they’ll feel no need to breathe! Drag the villager to the waterfall pool, and they’ll go diving for the gong piece.

لغز 14: The Inlaid Gong Piece

Required: The Elder Totem, The Ancient Mosaic

Drag and drop an Elder totem into the center of the Ancient Mosaic. This will give you a piece of the Gong!

لغز 15: The Boxed Gong Piece

متطلبات: 3 Master Builders

The big wooden box sitting on the shoreline is where you’ll find this piece of the gong. Drag three master builders over and they’ll take care of the rest!

Three master builders may seem like a lot, but if you set three people to clear the vines near the stone face just north of the village you should have the needed builders by the time they’re done!

لغز 16: The Overgrown Gong Piece

Required: The Cutting Tool

After accomplishing “The Cutting Tool” this task is simple but seriously time-consuming. Just drag however many people over to the overgrown thorn bush and let them have at it. I recommend using builders, since this task levels up building mastery and you’ll need quite a few master builders later on.
