Hello Everyone,

I'm stuck at thee end of the latest Detective K. mission & have read to find the clues to solve the part after the end of the mission.
I know about the items for the extra prize:

1.gathering the enery/power/mana pomes (the filled basket is next to the pole)
2.equipping the silver clava
3.rune-socket the odds to win gems to 100%

Even though I have all equipped & filled it is still am receiving the "Maybe I should look for more clues message"

Is there an additional step?

I put 95% gem odds on the clava. That's the amount the hovels add to. It worked for me. So maybe 100% doesn't work because it's not exact.

95% worked for me too but I think it's a minimum requirement so 100% should also be fine.

one can not technically 'use' 100%. with crafted smalls all being 3% one can use 102% or higher if one combines 34 or more of them spread over 2 or 3 rune combines

Not so. 6 grandest runes at 15% each plus one large rune at 10% makes exactly 100%. Not a combination I'd use for general whacking but fine for this puzzle. Although I'd use 5 grandest and 2 large for the 95% minimum requirement.

I actually brought mine up to over 100% and it was fine. The light and dark huts are hard to distinguish [even with the fix] so you can't go wrong with bringing it up to at least 100% [even though less may work]. It's easier than trying to guess at the exact minimum amount needed.

I hadn't checked since Nick said they would adjust them but I now see they've noticeably lightened the thatch on two of the huts. That makes 5 dark and 2 light so 95% is definitely the correct figure you need to hit.

For the sake of accuracy on the wiki spoiler, I decided not to note the exact number of light and dark huts, since Nick, himself wasn't exactly sure when asked about it during a chat last week. But I did make a notation on the wiki to clarify that although Runesocketing your sword to 100% will ensure success, a lesser percentage may work. This leaves it open for players to do a little experimenting if they want.

Thank you all who replied, I figured out that three different barrels are needed to call on the bird. I'll figure out later how much % on gem odds I'll need afterwards.
Right now it's taking forever to pick up Mana pomes.

May I ask a few more questions about the kaine mysteries?
1. Where does the special key go to? It is described as Kaine knows what it unlocks.
2. What were the ice picks & ancient screwdriver go?

Can anyone remember what was in the chest of Field 1 as I didn't see what it yielded ?

Thank you Flybaby and everyone else who commented. I did finally retrieve enough mana berries.

Bota: I don't remember what was in it either but I'm assuming whatever it was it was used during the caustic questline.

Bota, I checked my screenshots. All three rewards were in that chest:
Silver Clava, Nguruvilu Gnome, and Trapelacucha Schematic
