Amicia and Hugo managed to narrowly escape the monastery, where hordes of rats had infested the catacombs. Rats fear light, so the orphans used the last rays of sunshine to move toward Laurentius' farm.
CODEX - Hugo's Herbarium: 1/1 - Gifts: 1/1 - Curiosities: 2/2
Aquilegia (Hugo's Herbarium), Hugo will pick the Carnations flower for you while you walk in the backyard of Doctor Laurentius' house.
Named for "Aquila", the Latin word for eagle, in reference to the shape of its talon-like petals. Ancolia is a symbol of sadness and troubled souls--even of madness. While its flowers are sweet and edible, its roots and stems are highly toxic. When digested, they cause the entire digestive system to become inflamed and can lead to dangerous palpitations.
Diary if an alchemist (Gifts), it's located at small boat near the river bank south east of the grape's garden.
A page from the diary of a scholar from the Orient and friend of Laurentius, telling of the ravages of the Plague in distant lands. The Great Evil has indeed appeared in Central Asia, where it ate through entire populations in its path and suppressed the very evolution of society before reaching and ravaging Europe.
Hermetic vessel (Curiosities), it's near the stone with red mark from the very beginning of the game also near a river where Hugo sees bubbles.
An earthen container that is used to work alchemical material, baked or worked with acid, and protect its user from vapors or projections. The word "hermetic" is inspired by Hermes Trismegistus, a mythical figure of Greco-Egyptian Antiquity to whom we owe the famous Emerald Tablet, the next that represents one of the pillars of the alchemical arts.
V.I.T.R.I.O.L (Curiosities), it's located right next to Doctor Laurentius bedroom on the table.
The abbreviation of a Latin formula: "Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem", meaning "Visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying what you find there, you will discover the hidden stone". This maxim sums up alchemical philosophy, based on the study of the fundamental nature of the elements that surround us and how they are transformed. These initials are also another name for sulfuric acid, used to modify the substance.
