Okay, so I actually saved the Rusalka before I did the Bonsai quest, so now that I've completed the Bonsai quest for the Leshy he won't move past the Rusalka riddle. He just keeps repeating it and I don't get how to make him move on.

I need to move on so I can learn the magic phrase to get by the bushes and tyalk to Baba Yaga, there's literally nothing left for me to do.

I've talked to everyone about everything, they never have anything new to say. I heard the Gypsies will tell you the magic phrase eventually but I keep visiting them and nothing new ever happens. I've gotten all the tarot readings.

I've talked to Punny Bones about Baba Yaga and I've talked to the gypsies about Bab Yaga too (a while back), but I still don't know the magic phrase as its not an option to say to the bush.

Any ideas? Or am I just going to have to start over?

Have you talked to Davie after having your fortune read? If I recall correctly, he's the one who mentions having overheard the phrase.

I've talked to him in the Fortune Teller's wagon, but that's it. All I can talk to him about in their is "Gypsy Davy" and "Hunting", neither of which give me anything useful.

Every time I go to the camp (Day or Night), he is in wolf form and I can only talk to him in the wagon.

Since it's easy to overlook: are you using the "talk" icon on yourself as well as on NPCs when dealing with them (including the Leshy)? A lot of people don't realize that using "Talk" on yourself provides dialogue options.

I am when dealing with the gypsies, but you're never given the opportunity with the Leshy. As soon as you catch his bush, he appears, says his thing, then disappears. You don't even get a chance to talk to him except the fist time when you have to guess who he is and that's all you get to say.

I think what he means is that once you "catch" the Leshy, he says his riddle and you have to click the talk (mouth) icon on your character to give the answer.

OK, so either I'm an idiot or there was something legitimately wrong with my first game,

Anyway, I started over and made sure to do things in a certain order and when the Leshy gave the riddle for the Ruslka I clicked the mouth on myself and gave the answer and things moved on.

I could have sworn I had tried that before and it just said "No one is listening", but oh well, it worked this time. (And of course as soon as I head to the gypsy camp after that they tell me about the rhyme).

Anyway, thanks for the help everybody!
