Almond and Citrus: where to find ingredients for the elixir
North of the frogs' rehearsal site is the last point where help is needed. In the indicated area, meet with Elder Almond and an alpaca who is creating an elixir for the tavern. Citrus injured her neck, which is why she cannot collect the necessary ingredients on her own. You need to pull the magic thread behind the paper alpaca and help it get the ingredients for c**ktails.
Stand behind Citrus and activate the special interaction by clicking on the skill icon that appears at the bottom of the screen. By tensioning the thread, you can adjust the height of the alpaca's neck, and moving the active character will help turn the figure in the desired direction.
