so I can seem to turn this back into the duck guy. Is there something special I need to say other than “wood duck”?
I made the same mistake. Read your journal again. Here is a hint. Starts with a N and ends with orthwood.
This needs to be fixed, IMO. It's bad game design. Either make us go there and don't show him again, or if you're gonna show him again, let us turn it into him.
