How to Solve the Crispy Grove Puzzle in Black Book

You’ll be able to find the Cripsy Grove battle puzzle during your quest to help Nikolai. It should be in the Swamp area of the map.

First, move there and examine the house. You’ll start a pursuit that will end up leading you to the Crispy Grove, where the battle puzzle will start.

The fight against the evil spirits will take 3 turns, and here’s how you need to use your cards to win:

For the 1^st turn, you’ll want to use Imperishable Robe and Headless to survive the damage of the spirits. Follow that with Enakha-Bes.

For the 2^nd turn, you’ll want to start applying some damage. Choose Karkusha, followed by Urazy to apply some Waste. They use Herod’s Bones to double the Waste. The spirits will attack you but your previous white spells should keep you safe.

Finally, for the 3^rd turn, you want to use Karkusha again, followed by Tryasovitsa and Ore. Use Nikolai to lay down some hurt too. That should be enough to end the battle and net you the win.
