Morbid 2: The Cure
Morbid 2: The Cure picks up where the first chapter in the series left us, and just in time for everyone's favorite spooky holiday. The best part of this horror-themed, point-and-click adventure series remains the atmosphere. The black-and-white art and subtle ambient sounds are creepy and evocative. There are no jump scares or shocking gore, just a mood of well-crafted, eerie desolation. If you can get over the wonky navigation, Morbid 2 is a fine bit of quick, atmospheric spookiness, just right for Halloween.

Hmmm.. Welp, I'm stuck.
I have the two parchments that you start with, the axe, the drum, the witch's list of items, the drumstick, the mandrake, the crab apple, and the strong spider web..
Now I am not quite sure what to do..
Aha, I've found what to do next.
You can beat on the drum to drive away the demon spider thingy
Where did you find the
mandrake?
I have looked far and wide :/
(mostly wide)
You can find the Mandrake by
Placing the dog by the hanging post with the skeleton and the crow
Slippy:
Hint 1
You need to buy the dog, so look for a coin.
Hint 2
Look on ledges for the coin. Once you have the dog, look for a spot to dig.
I have not been able to find the
mandrake (other than the picture of one on the column in the church)
but I have found
the unicorn horn
Okay finished, finally.
Finding the
mandrake:
There's a place in the game that seems to have something, but you can't get to it without a little help...
In order to find the mandrake:
You need to use the dog on some bones
Now, someone wanna tell me
where to find the drum?
I have the
coin
where does one
buy a dog?
The
drum is kinda hard to find. Along one of the roads, you can just see some feet on the left side of the screen. Click on them to find a dead man with a drum. But you also need the drumstick...
which is hanging in the witches house
Drum is
in the witch's house
where do you find the unicorn horn?
Beat it, but I think I got the "bad ending". Really anticlimactic, just a screen telling me about my fate.
Yes, navigation is still tricky (even if it's way better than the prequel). You just have to watch for the hand everywhere, and click click click. When you think you've found all the hotspots, there's probably two more.
Puzzle solving was extremely easy on this one. Too easy! Got through this, no hints, in quite a short time (and I usually need a hundred hints).
And SonicLover, I think there only is one ending. The bad one. Muahaha!
I have the drum and drumstick, but how do you use them together? Clicking one then the other seems to do nothing.
Never mind, power of posting. For those who are curious,
click the drumstick, then click on the drum repeatedly to hit the drum
For those like me who struggled to find that coin...
in the monastary, through the first locked door, up the ladder, and click on the window.
Actually, there's a bad ending and a worse ending.
About the mandrake root...there is logic to where you find it....mandrake root lore in spoilers below:
It was a common folklore in some countries that mandrake would only grow where the semen of a hanged man had dripped on to the ground; this would appear to be the reason for the methods employed by the alchemists who "projected human seed into animal earth". In Germany, the plant is known as the Alraune: the novel (later adapted as a film) Alraune by Hanns Heinz Ewers is based on a soulless woman conceived from a hanged man's semen, the title referring to this myth of the Mandrake's origins.
I got an ending that was several screens long, although it was still pretty bleak.
Hints:
using the drum:
Drag and drop the drumstick onto the drum in your inventory bar. To it a bunch of time to scare off the spider.
Unicorn horn:
Behind the pillar the spider was guarding is a pit of dead things. The creature (kinda looked like a rhino to me) is the 'unicorn'. Take It's horn.
Last scene:
The axe wont hurt the vampire. You have to capture him. Use the 'strong spider web', which can be obtained by using the axe on the large web at the end of the 'village' road (the village is where you can buy the dog)
Kamenzero,
After beating on the drum, then what? Nothing I have
(2 parchments, list, drum + stick, spiderweb, crabapple, mandrake, axe) works on the boar/dead hunters.
Nothing clickable either...
I'm getting all the hard clues right and struggling with the easy ones. Helps to know your myths, tales, and esoterica.
where do you find the unicorn horn?
feeling a trifle silly - i can't find the
witch...i HAVE got a mandrake root, spider web and an axe however, just can't find the witch
what am i missing? please help a lost traveller...
SkylerF:
That's not a boar, but try clicking it's head anyway
Mebaroo:
Turn left at the swamp
yowza..POP in action, never mind
Dear Pastel Games,
I am a huge fan of your work - you are true masters of this genre, the art work is beautiful, the atmospheres are perfect. I love the challenges I face with your games.
But please, please, just once, maybe could you guys make something with a little sunshine? You know, use your mastery and artistry to create something...you know...(oh man, dare I say it?) fun.
Why so serious all the time?
Sincerely yours,
Mebaroo
Much better navigation than the previous game, though many areas were a swine to find. Especially
the Unicorn horn area
Any news on a second ending??
cannot find coin cannot pass the scary guy guarding the gate
@mebaroo
Halloween is coming up. I agree with your plea, but tis the season to give them a pass.
Sigh - double post...
Second ending is more obvious that you might expect.
You have some remaining items, what could you use 'em on??
Hope we don't end up waiting a year for the continuation!

@mebaroo: Some non-dark/creepy games from Pastel that JiG has reviewed:
Escape Artist
Charger Escape
The Great Escape series
@Mike - cheers! I actually played those AGES ago and forgotten about them, and they're brilliant, as always.
re. previous posts, I think it's just because I played the Fog Fall 3 yesterday, and then this today. I'll shut up now.
It should be noted that you can also use the axe on the vampire before using the spiderweb.
Questions
Is it me, or are there save slots without a save button? Did I miss it?
What's with the tiny smurf figure in the book?
Can anyone use the axe on the drumstick?
Found a bug that makes the game impossible to complete. If you give the witch items as you get them (meaning not all at once) she'll accept them, but giving her the final item doesn't net you a potion, merely a 'bring me the final item' dialogue. I gave her the apple and mandrake root, then went and got the horn, and am now unable to complete the game. Oh well.
Wow, I was suprised to say the least that Pastel and Mateusz created a sequel to the excellently morbid "Morbid" lol. I finished the game it is quite shocking in the twist ending. Plus for those you don't know, you have to have a certain item before entering the final room if you want to get the "somewhat" good ending even if it has an escpecially morbid twist to it. Can' wait for the 3rd one!
Fun game, even though navigation was awful. I'm just glad there are so many posts describing where items are - even when I thought I'd explored everywhere, I hadn't. And I'd read Mike's warning that this would be the case!
That bit with the spider web was CHEAP. >:[ I had to completely do the game over again just for that! A stinkin' spider web?!
i found an ending were you tie that vampire with the spider web and you burn the church and then it says everything is lost, to be continued...
So what if you take the
cure to the fisherman
as he requests? Is that possible? Does it mean you are able to
get across and escape?
A little bit of unicorn lore:
It's thought that the legend of the unicorn originated from sightings of rhinoceroses.
Anyone who's used the drum but still can't find the unicorn horn might want to check that spoiler out.
@Kate
I've tried to
Give him the elixir but he won't take it. I guess there is no "good" ending :(
Question: So the rhinoceros may be the source of legends of unicorns. And the mandrake's location makes sense considering mythology. Anything special about the crab apple though, or why the spider is scared away by a drum? What legends involve that?
When is the 3rd part coming?
i think there's no a happy ending.. seriously. since
you'll need to enter the dormitory and explore the dead. then the vampire came. you'll need to talk to him in order to leave the room, but when you did, it says everything was destroyed and you came too late. :(
anybody can find the cure in the monastery?
looks like if
one begin collecting items for the witch BEFORE talking to the Monk, he becomes untalkable
and the game becomes impassable in this case.. am I right?
