Answer: You're waiting for them to call each other. This is wrong. You have to
take the initiative. (And you have to adjust the wiring)

Answer: Read the description of the ingredients in 'the Clavicula' and compare
with your collected components. You've made a misstake here.

The Phones:
'Plug blue wires into red socket'
Then call Jarboe from the master's phone. (phone # is 213)
Keep listening.




The Elixir:
The Spittle of Lune = Stuff from winecellars.
Sap of Hermes = Honey.
Bath of Kings = transparent Gum.
Water of sages = your own tears.

Add 'Spittle of Lune' to the retort. Put it on the gas ring.
Add honey to the retort.
Add Gum to the retort.
Add Tears to the retort.

Ready. Should smell like perfume.


Luck, Joakim
