You are not using the correct herbs. If you check the second post in this thread in our VV2 Guides Section, you will see the correct herbs to use for that puzzle.

babara, i still cant see any receipe in relation to the Magic "Gong" stew.
Ok, i had used black, Orange n red. No result. After consume stew, place villagers on pond spot, but they didnt dive in retrieve it. Keep prompting something like "See something inside but too deep"

Kindly help me pls. M had played in total 4times, Finally able to reach last stage before completion. Its drving me crazy. Kidnly help me pls, before all my villagers died soon. Pls help ..Many thnxs.

Desperately need help before villagers died.. as m left with all the male no female children.

As I said above, those are not the correct herbs. The post I linked you to lists the correct combination at the top of the list (puzzle 13). Replace the red one you're using with a second orange one.

Did you drop a villager on the gong?

hi barbara, yes i did. He just rang the gong .. thats it. nothing special happen anyway...
now slowly one after another my villagers died.. left with only one one elderyl female, one female in 50s, two male in 3os and two children boy gal thats all. ...
Rang the gong, n thats it . I thought something miracla or magic will happen..haha.. nothing anyway.

You need to leave the villager selected and watch for a message, or you won't know what the gong did.

I have completed all the gong puzzles, but can't find the bottom left piece. I retrieved the piece from the box, retrieved the piece from the lagoon, retrieved the piece from the mosaic, and the briars are all cleared. How do I get the bottom left piece (which I think is the briar piece?
