Simona tells you about Brigadoom

The game's own summary

Upon visiting her in her chambers, your hero was asked by Princess Simona to help the Wight Knight. She explained that she remembers the name Brigadoom from a nursery rhyme she heard sung by an old nurse of hers, who now lives in the village of Zere.

The Zere nursery rhyme points to Brigadoom

  1. Zere is north-west of Stornway (the heart-shaped village, west of the loch). By day, go into Petra's house in the north-east of the village: Alanna, the nanny, sings the rhyme with Petra. It points north.
  2. Optional: in the village cave, the young woman teaches you the “Cheer” party trick if you cheer her on.
