Complete the assassin finding sidequest.  Then break into the Jeweller's shop and when she comes, kill her with the dagger.  Once you have zero honor, show the truth gem to the assassin and thank him.

You might want to specify that to turn back from a rabbit you need to walk ON the mushrooms, not around them on the outside.  It can be tricky and a little frustrating if it doesn't occur to the player initially.

Run, lure it in the tool shed outside Havgen (it could a bit difficult, but I noticed that you have some little time to pass by it before it fully materializes), then finally use the horseshoe inside the shed to trap it and gain the usual amount of wisdom points; this method prevents you to use the horseshoe in the "belt sidequest", but could be solved picking up the horseshoe again and later kill the foul beast with the usual modes.

Before goint to the city, go to the waterfall and see Taliesin playing the flute and pooka dancing. I don't know if they appear in other places. Could not do anything meaningful in this screen.

If a man gives it he tries to keep it: word
You break if you speak of it or name it: silence

Spoiler

I always had problems to get the love letter in time

Spoiler

If you work quickly you can still do it when you visit the fairy land for the last time, before you use the dagger or charm on yourself.

I've had the pigeon appear south of the goblin's camp.  I also had the coin appear in the room south of the mushroom circle.

the blue cup (supposedly from "META") and another character appeared and offered help. An easter egg? A blue cup is in my inventory now. When I click, I get comments about the game, the contributors, etc. Use the blue cup in different rooms :-)

coin: at the shipwreck, southwest corner of screen

This is the creators commentary. It appears after you've finished the game at full (at least I think so  :-[)

in chapter 5, when the jeweler's shop is closed, you have a chance to see the owner on the balcony above the castle's entrance.

when I escaped the room, I got 2 wisdom points

at least one about the fishes in the ocean and one hidden at the entrance to the giant. I didn't find them yet (only the one with the goblin in shorts).

I note that you call some NPCs consistenly by name, and others by title? That's okay, I was just wondering. The missing names are Paradur (chancellor), Amairgen (druid), Ruadh (beggar), Iseult (jeweler), Cailte (smith), Morholt (giant), Finegas (monk) and Ashe (stable boy). The villager is Niameh, not Nimaweh.

You are likely to get looked at the wizard in chapter one. Also, you can spot Ruadh in the main hallway.

Getting the rope: you need to "use" the balcony twice to jump off.

You may want to mention early in chapter 3 that Branwyn will keep items for you if you don't want to carry them.

There are four possible locations for the coin and pigeon. Note that you can also spot the Pooka dancing in the forest.

The wishing well provides for an alternative way to enter the city; wish for humans to trust you and you can simply use the front gate. (I note it says so later in the walkthrough). If for whatever reason you did not take the key from Amairgen, you can open the shed door with the lock pick.

Making money: there's a few other things you can also sell, most notably the vase (if you still have it) and the conch shell.

The pooka (again): alternatively, if you keep trying to leave the room, she'll eventually let you. As stated earlier in this thread, the fourth answer is "silence". You may want to mention the seashell in her section as well. If you give her an item that you need, you can get it back by giving her something else, such as the shell.

Wishing well: the faerie wish indeed bypasses the crystal cave. The protection wish, as you assume, shields you from the barghest.

Captured by goblins: for completeness' sake, you can also use the sword rather than the dagger.

Getting the flute: the fire on the beach can be put out with the bottle of water. Or simply come back later.

Thierna na Oge: there's three other ways past this test, one of which is the wish you mention. The unseelie does in fact play better than Paradur.

Stopping the goblin horde: to get the key from the raven, play whatever you want. It responds to the sound, not the tune. Note that if you don't have the key, you can also take the orb using the lock picks. If for whatever reason you don't have the bottle yet at this point, you can find it on the sleeping goblin in the orchard.

Regaining human form: if you had gotten Ruadh arrested earlier, you can simply pass the bridge (and the fox will leave you there). As said above, you need no longer walk exactly ON the mushrooms. Oh yeah and you can spot Niameh in the orchard although you don't need to.

The castle again: you'll need to find Rhiannon before doing the distraction thing. I note that you omitted the two alternative ways of dealing with the apprentice. Talking to her only works if you found the raskovnik for her earlier.

Sidequests: it's a girdle, not a belt :)  There are indeed three pieces of evidence. The correct answer to "who is the assassin" can be found by playing sherlock: make a list of all characters in the game and crossing off everybody who (1) lacks a motive, or (2) has an alibi - or alternatively, think on what the murder weapon was and who would be capable of obtaining that.

Cutscenes: "I think you have to do this before any other cutscenes in the city" is incorrect; the order is irrelevant. "I think you need to have talked to the apprentice in Carbonek" is not necessary. The Baum/Midir scene indeed no longer occurs if you've given him the brain (note that it can occur in chapter 3). Cailte/apprentice is not triggered by the raskovnik; indeed, she'll come back to talk to him later, if you've given her the grass earlier.

There are 18 cutscenes in your list. The two missing ones are Taliesin/pooka in chapter 6, and the whispering voices at the cliff in chapter 2 (which you can't actually miss, but it's still a cutscene).

Points list: escaping your room should be 2 wisdom, as correctly stated earlier in the wt. Note that a few things (e.g. the lantern and wishing well) can be done in chapter 3. Technically, capturing Ruadh and offering to help him are two separate things. "complete the test" should be one point for completing it, and two more for doing it properly. You don't get 2 wisdom for "naming the assassin" but rather for remembering you had a mission beyond resting in Thierna. "Throw horseshoe at jeweler" isn't 3 points but 2; the third is from getting your girdle back. Taking the mouse is omitted from the points list (1 wis). And dealing with the apprentice properly in the castle also nets you 3 honor.

I rescued village from goblins but cannot befriend giant, because I can't do anything to pigeon. It's near waterfall just sitting there "resting from trip" and I cannot pick it up or do anything else to it.

If it is, sorry, you found one bug I hope to have fixed by tomorrow. Some people have reported being unable to pick up the pigeon, some of them turned out to be looking at the wrong bird.

However, there is an alternate solution - found anything in the monastery you could use?

I've found the gold coin west of the goblin scouts.  How come you didn't fill in the extras here?

The third piece of evidence is in the top of thedoor frame of the king's bedroom (a hair). I'm not sure, but I think you have to 'look' at it before you can 'interact' with it.

No, I'm afraid it's not. If you ask around, you'll realize the hair is Rhiannon's, which doesn't really prove anything except that she was in her father's bedroom at some point, e.g. to give him the sceptre.

The third piece of evidence is the murder weapon.
