I wasn't able to follow the directions on the note exactly, but I did find the treasure. It's in Cademia. Go up to the north east, near the water. You should see a sort of flat hill area. Move away from the flat hill towards the south west, looking for "loose dirt" on the ground. When you find "loose dirt", dig there. If you get to the fenced in garden area, you've gone too far to the south west, so turn around and head back towards the flat hill.

I have no idea if this will help anyone or not, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Is there such a thing as a Swamp Pod, or those other seed thingies that are talked about in the alchemy book? Where do you find them?

Yes. Swamp Pods are found in the big swamp in the south. I think they are yellow. Just look around in there for them; you should be able to find at least a few. What other seed thingies are you talking about?

What does the food of the gods potion do?

Makes whoever drinks it not hungry anymore I think.

Is there anyway to keep your allies from getting poisoned in the swamp?

Don't step on the asps. :) Other than that, the only protection I've found is the gator boots, but you can only ever get one pair of those, so you can't protect everyone with that.

There are some secret doors in Cythera that you can't just click on to use. These doors are opened in one of two ways. Either there is a lever somewhere that you must use to open the door, or the door is opened with music.

Most secret doors have levers, though often they are not right next to the secret door. Levers are often hidden under something (crate, table, etc). Look around in the general area of the secret door, moving things until you find a lever. Then throw the lever and go see if that opened the door.

The musically locked secret doors are opened by playing a certain combination of notes on a particular instrument. I can only think of two musical doors; one in the sewer in Cademia, and one in the Comana house in Kosha. All the others you should be able to find a lever for somewhere.

Once you give Charax the elements he says he needs (the kelp and the mushroom) he will go fiddle with the distiller and then tell you he thinks there is something wrong with the distiller. He then goes to try to figure out what's wrong with the distiller. There's not really anything wrong with the distiller; he just thinks there is. At this point, there's nothing more to discuss with Charax; you now need to use the distiller on the Crolna. You must have all four pieces of the Crolna and you must have the four pieces put together before you can do this.

Are you (i.e. your main character) carrying the book, or is someone else in your party carrying it? I've noticed that sometimes it matters who is carrying an item when you talk to the person you are supposed to give the item to.

1. What happens to the vineyard?
2. Where did the members of the House Comana go?
3. Where did Larisa and Joppa go?
4. What (if any) is the purpose of the wishing well under Pynx?
5. What (if any) is the purpose of the braziers in Land King Hall?

I'm sure we all have more but those are the ones I can think of at the moment.

Check on Slayer's website. There's instructions for how to carry more than you should be able to. (Can't remember the URL off the top of my head, but it's in Slayer's sig anywhere he's posted or there's a link from the Cythera webpage links section).

Go there and there is a download link in the upper right corner.

Is that what you meant?

It's under a crate in the room in the north-east corner of the Comana house in Cademia. To know if you are looking in the right building, there is a ruffian, a bed, and two chests in the south-east corner room of the same building.

Once you've flipped the lever, go out of the Comana house. Go south til you run into a wall. If I'm remembering correctly, the wall you just ran into belongs to a room with some spiderwebs in the NW corner and a (now open if you flipped the lever) secret door near the SE corner.

It this round thing with eight circles on it that change from white to some other color (I forget what) in different patterns when you press the three buttons at the bottom.

Find it under Pynx after you beat the demon at the end of the maze.

Press the buttons until the pattern on it matches the patterns you find on pedestals in several places in Cythera.

How's that?
