Use the journal alongside this checklist

The supply checklist is cross-checked between Into Indie Games' September 30 route and an independent launch-player reply describing the clothing, skill trinket, potion equipment and flute. Neither source is a first-hand replay by this site. The exact current objective should take priority if a prompt or localization differs.

The opening supply loop

The published route describes meeting the headmistress, taking her letter to Bristlecone, and visiting town while the flute is prepared. It lists the robe, cauldron, potion starter set and skill trinket as supplies to collect.

The independent launch reply confirms supplies from the clothing, crafting and potion shops, plus a flute maker outside town. The named shops in the published route are Swish & Stitch for clothing, Newt's Eye Potion Supply for potion equipment, and Practical Practice. After the supplies are collected, return to Bristlecone for the flute, then continue the enrollment sequence toward the dormitory.

If the next interaction says something is missing, compare the requested item list with your inventory before revisiting shops randomly. This comparison is our troubleshooting suggestion; it does not establish that unpacking a bag breaks the quest.

After enrollment

The route then introduces letters, the garden assignment, the common-room gathering and the music lesson. Check the journal and calendar after resting so you can identify which of those is currently active.

Enrollment is also recognized by the official Steam achievement list. That provides a useful milestone, but the absence of an achievement notification alone is not proof of a broken quest.

Hand off to the specialist guides

For the garden, use planting and watering. For a request involving an axe, use the woodcutting spell. For music practice, read songs and spells.

We do not reproduce a complete scene-by-scene walkthrough or assume every old tutorial bug still exists. If an objective repeats after you have collected the listed supplies, record its exact wording and the game version before trying a new save.
