    In the second part of the game after you get through the part where the answer is
    Peter Pan
    , I am stuck on the watch fragment puzzle that has to do with Odin, Suttungr, the faerie, and the rainbow.

    I'm pretty sure the answer has to do with Andrew Lang's Rainbow book collection and specifically the green upper left corner of the ? that needs to be solved makes me think it relates to either the Green Fairy Book or the Olive Fairy book.

    However, I can't find a story within either of the aforementioned books that would solve the puzzle.

    What do you think I could be missing?

    You are correct that it has to do with Andrew Lang's books, but you're getting off track by looking for a specific story within the book. The red clue is less about Suttungr and more generally what is Suttungr and that things relation to red? What is the relationship between blue and witches? That might help you find your answer.

    Well, with Suttngr guarded the mead of poetry which Odin stole by pretending to be a worker for some guy who worked for Suttungr I think thereafter he drilled a hole into a mountain. There he convinced Suttungr's wife (who guarded it in a mountain) to give him all of the mead of poetry in exchange for having sex with Odin three times (she had a child from it). Odin escaped back to Asgard while Suttungr pursued him in the form of a giant eagle. Suttungr was a giant or jotunn.

    I'm not sure about blue and witches but witches ride brooms. There was a hallucinogenic drug (I thought a mushroom but I could be mistaken) smeared on a broomstick that women would rub on their genitals to get high. That's where witches and broomsticks came from.

    Maybe a play off absinthe and the green fairy? Absinthe won't fit as an answer.

    Perhaps it could also be a star. Blue Giants, Red Giants (and dwarfs), and there is a term for something called a green star but it's an illusion and does not really exist.

    Hey all, having a little trouble finding the line of logic here,

    A common thread I see is healing, so I'm inclined to choose Rest Cure for Woolf and Neurasthenia for Mitchell, but the middle 2 don't seem to quite fit.

    Any nudges?

    Any more nudges you can give? This part makes no sense to me at all. ZERO bells are ringing :(

    Best way I can think of to not give the direct answer is as an analogy.

    Witch is to Blue Fairy Book as Giant is to Red Fairy Book as ________ is to Green Fairy Book

    another hint:
    i wonder what that question mark represents....

    you're close with your answer;
    but whats the link between mitchell's neurasthenia and the 'bed cure'
    its found in his wikipedia
    almost the answer; open at your own risk!!!
    its not about the healing of "physical wounds"

    @nikel you might want to edit your "spoilers"-tag into "spoiler" minus the 's'...

    Hi guys, can anyone give me a slight hint please?
    The connection between the saint, the scout, the chief and the antelope. I have no idea what this could be. Thought of places along a certain railroad but found nothing
    Thanks in advance

    Good to know. Alas, a little more help would be much appreciated
    I tried to find matching places and I found some, though in California (along the I80) and not in Kansas. My Saint for example is Francis of Assisi. I have no idea who or what the scout could be...
    Besides that, i was looking for now defunct narrow gauge lines.
    Am i still on the right...track?
    I'm searching the net on that for three nights now. A good way to survive the nightshift. One more to go...

    I wasn't able to get it until I listened to the narration. Then it clicked (and clacked :))

    Try not to concentrate on looking at

    every clue individually but rather search for them as a single unit.

    Ok, i think i have the answer, need to verify my guess after work. Thank you all

    So i solved it finally. To know i was thinking in the right direction (in parts at least) was what i needed at that moment.
    @nikel , may i ask you, what was the exact part of the narration that brought you to the conclusion? It was not very helpful to me.

    I can't figure out the Photo puzzle about amputation and the Cactus puzzles on the train and birds.

    It's not as simple as amputation. From what I remember, the bearded man in a chair and the middle photograph of a girl helped me out.

    Hmm. Well I had only one other idea that being Phantom Limb Syndrome but I can't make the name of the man who discovered it.
