Rebuilding the Bridge

Spoilers. Each step says what you are trying to do, and the solution stays hidden until you click it. To talk to someone, stand right beside them (not diagonally) and press Enter or Space.

Where: Meadow. Reward: the rest of the continent opens up. You need: level 3.

Until the bridge is built, the world map is only a small patch of land around Meadow. Nothing else can be reached, so this is the first thing to do.

Learn what you are looking for

Someone in Meadow knows the legend of the medallion, and will tell you the bridge is out.

Solution

The tavernkeeper knows the old legends. Choose Do you know of the Mystic Medallion?, then Tell me more., then Where can I find the pieces? (asking about crossing the ocean first also works). He tells you to look for help in Quinine Tower, across the river, and that the bridge was washed out and Reyd the carpenter must build a new one.

Nothing else in this quest works until you have heard this.

Ask the carpenter

Reyd is the carpenter. He can build the bridge, if something is sorted out first.

Solution

Once you have heard the legend from the tavernkeeper, Reyd has a new thing to say. Talk to him and choose I need a bridge to cross the river. He would gladly do it, but his assistant Mert lost the key to his tool shed. Asking him how to find it only sends you to Mert.

Follow the trail of the key

The key passed through more than one pair of hands. Work out who has it now.

Solution

Mert lost the key while playing with his little cousin, who found it and handed it on to someone heading for the tavern. Everyone points you at the next person, so you cannot skip ahead.

Talk to Mert and choose What did you do with the key?, then Where’s Emma?. She is in the park behind the tavern.
Talk to Emma. She will not speak to strangers, so choose But cousin Mert sent me., then I need a key your cousin lost. She gave it to Tyren, who was on his way into the tavern.
Talk to Tyren. Choose But do you have a certain key? He has it, but wants an ale in exchange.

Each of them only says the right thing once the person before them has been asked.

Buy Tyren an ale

Tyren wants an ale, and he has no money. Someone in the tavern will pay, but only for a hero who looks up to it.

Solution

Talk to Lotar, the friendly man with the thick accent, and choose I need an ale for Tyren. You must be at least level 3 (40 experience; an Orc is worth 10). If you are not, he says you look scrawny and tells you to fight and come back. Once you are, he buys the ale.

Deliver the key

Get the key from Tyren and take it to Reyd.

Solution

Talk to Tyren again and choose Yep. Here you go. He hands over the key. Take it to Reyd and choose I have your key. The bridge is built, and leaving Meadow now puts you on the whole world map.

The next stop is Quinine Tower, west across the new bridge.
