I am stuck in Arathen Village.
I completed all the quests there:
Rescued villagers,
Healed Leader's son
Found eremite in chasm of cathedral (reported back to tree and again back to river guardian)
Resolved Millers daughter problem and hired one-arm zombie to work in Mill

I have letter to Carissa but talking to any villager (counting leader, river guardian, innkeeper and so on) does not unlock any further locations (i have only Cathedral, Forest's edge, Arathen and Valley of tears) i am pretty far and do not want to restart whole game. Can someone give me a tip or something?


Edit: Found it by myself - need to talk to Earth Guardian (The Tree) again asking of Sword.

How did you do that? I had the same idea but when I'm talking to both I don't have any options to make this happen. Is it because I've paid the 200 coins dowry for his daughter?

Yes. You either pay the dowry, OR hire the zombie. And the zombie costs you nothing.
