Songs of GlimmerwickYou encounter this puzzle when the miller reports a curse, a vanished coworker, and dwindling flour supplies. To solve Songs of Glimmerwick The Cursed Mill, follow the footprints to the missing protector, visit the quiet witches' temple in the mountains, obtain Song of Silence, and return to the mill to play it and end the cacophony.
Where do the mill footprints lead?
The miller has two problems: the racket at the mill and a missing coworker who protects it. The coworker is your lead; the footprints take you to someone who knows about the curse.
Speak to the miller
Start with the miller's account of what happened. He thinks he has been cursed and mentions a vanished coworker; follow that lead.
Follow the footprints
Follow the trail to the missing protector, the Mill Goblin. At first he claims to know nothing about the mill.
Continue the mill conversation
Keep talking. He admits he works at the mill and keeps the grain safe, then points you to a temple of very quiet witches in the mountains.
Don't leave at his first denial. He only gives the temple clue once he realises his own job and grain are at risk too.
How do you get into the quiet witches' temple?
Go to the temple in the mountains that the protector describes. There is a chalice requirement here: you must drink water from the chalice. One player reached the silent temple, could not find a way forward, and returned later after receiving a chalice as a reward.
If you're stuck outside, get the chalice first, then go in and talk to the order. For other shrines, see the shrines location guide.
Why do the witches refuse to help at first?
The order rejects musical magic, including curse-breaking, and says you can't join them. Keep explaining the mill curse.
Continue the conversation about the curse. The crucial change comes when the temple member recognizes it as a cacophony. They consider that noise a dire emergency and make an exception to their refusal to spread spells.
They give you a scroll with Song of Silence. For the instrument itself, see flute types.
How do you finish the curse and get the reward?
Go back to the mill and play Song of Silence there. The miller thanks you for sorting everything out; that's the sign it worked.
Stay for the reward: he wants nothing more to do with the wretched stone and gives it to you, so you can now mill your own wheat into flour.
With the curse handled, you can turn to Songs of Glimmerwick dough for the next flour-related question. If you need help with the planting step for your crops, continue to Songs of Glimmerwick how to plant seeds.
