Ton of questions here:
1. Where do I find the blue root needed to make potion for the plague?
*Enter the Burned Forest which is just east of the 1st Imp Merchant. Go SE to a small ruins
& visit the Alchemist. Exit his cave go W then S to find the blue root on the ground.
2. In the cave (that's hidden by a rock), there's a room with a gold key but I can't pick it up. Is it important? How do I pick it up?
3. How do I solve the mystery of the imp murder (the one with the sisters)?
*You will find him in a nearby pit. Talk to him to wake him up. Be sure to find the treasure chest.
4. How do I tickle the escaped spider? I ended up killing it instead. Hehe.
*First you need to get rid of your "stench" by using one of the bottles that you found in the Alchemist's house
You need to pay attention to what Anourax told you about how he mixes up his right from his left
5. Where can I find the key for the gold chest for the imp?
6. I already have the mushroom extract for the potion to cure the *frozen* imps. What else do I need to make the potion?
*Combine it with a piece of the Queen Spider web
7. How do I solve the special mushroom quest?
8. Is the key to the third level of the battlefield in the imp village?
*Find the treasure chest in #3 above
