I got stuck with something and found a walkthough, but there are a lot of things in that walkthrough were very misleading and did not work for me the same way. For example, it said I needed the barrel of coal to finish Act 1, and there were 2 doors to Act 2. I've only ever found 1 door leading to Act 2, and my map was fully uncovered; and I didn't have to use the coal barrel for anything. Now I'm finding that walking all around Tree Of Insight is not triggering the conversation what so ever. I can only see junk around it I can pick up and a magic rope (if I need it for anything?!).
The question is why am I experiencing a different game compared to someone else?
