18. Grow mushrooms. Glowing as near as possible to the ledge, green as near as possible
    to the left of the glowing one

    until you are able to close your eyes walk past him.
21. Hidden staircase. Bring glowing mushrooms to see it.
22. Walk to the left for app. 10 minutes.
23. Well – Take Bucket up for ending. I still need to check who is coming to the well above
    (like in the dreams) and in what intervall
24. There is apparently two ways to reach the Secret Tower. One is to light a sulphur fire
    in your home and Shadow will walk there. Not quite sure though if you need to prepare
    his way, i.e. boulder at 11 should be moved, spider web at 13 is ready to climb and you
    grew a big mushroom at 18.
    You can actually walk to the Secret Tower as well.
    Go past Angst at 20 and continue to the left for several minutes until you hear your
    footsteps change to a muffled sound like you are walking on soil.
    Immediately move to the upper right and shortly after you should get to an illuminated
    part of the cave again.
    After you read “The Secret Garden” you can find Shadows comment at the end:
    “I wonder if there is a secret place in these caves? Well, I better watch
    the sound of my steps…”
25. “Singing” crystal

  Tbh.. I had to look the rest up. Quit the game and search for *notebook* in your local The Longing game folder and add some random text to the notebook.txt file. Since I didn’t know how much to add I pushed the txt-file to 10MB. Restart and read until the second page and you get the achievment.
