cool game so farÃ, Ã, Ã, Ã,Â
Really great game.
Spoiler
I'm at the point when Ben and George escape from the cell. I have the bottle of wine, amongst other items, and the ghost is hovering over the pearls. Judging by what George said, I have to get the ghost into the bottle??
I can't seem to progress - please help!
I'm impressed at how fast you released the second part, congrats! And to think that I haven't finished the first part yet... Ah well. I played a bit of part 2, love the music so far!
I'm in the cell in the galleon and cant figure out how to get out. I tried to pick the door with the pencil but it doesnt work.
I cant get out of the cell either. I have tried everything so far.
For getting out of the cell:
Spoiler
Jamb something in your inventory in the cell door, then light it
I am stuck just beyond this point with getting rid of the ghost
For those stuck at the end:
Spoiler
Try to take a pearl, then talk to George in the treasure room.
I just finished, what a great game, I look forward to another Ben Jordon soon ;D
This a Most amazingly Cool Game, Can't wait for the third instalment.
Cool indeed!
Graphics is better too.
Found only 2 problems -
* inventory items, while being large images - don't have interaction dot or crosshair - so it's difficult to click precisely. I hope to see it fixed in third game.
* "notes" won't update sometimes. I'm in the desert while notes still tell me to find moonshine. So they're almost unneccesary. They should update after every hint, it happens that you click away text where's useful hint like I did when talked to knife thrower. It was impossible to talk again to get same hint. Some other places too like that, hints should go to "notes".
A great game, could use some interface improvements, but wonderful nonetheless.
I'm stuck:

I have the scuba gear and the map but he still keeps saying he doesn't fancy a swim. What should I do?

You need to be sure that what you're diving for is down there. The only person who knows what is down there is the man who won't give you the map.
I'd also like to say this was great. I really enjoyed this as well as the previous game. Fantastic job. I look forward to the next one.
Spoiler
But it won't let me talk to him anymore and I already have his map.
Simian,
Spoiler
Have you gone to the right of the map man? There is another scene with the Sea and a warning sign.
Thank you.
Cittymom,
I've tried using everything in my inventory
Spoiler
money, morter & pestal, coffee, matches, knife, reel of tape, flower, pen, map and wine
what do I use and is there a specific place on the bars you need to interact with?
Spoiler
Use the moonshine on the lock. Use the matches on the moonshine.
Really cool game. Look forward to the next installment.
I just finished the game. Realy great game. Definetly longer and harder than the first case.
This is very good so far, but I'm stuck:
Spoiler
Where do I find the malt?
Spoiler
light the stills bottom hole then put the beer in the top one 8)
Nice one! Music was really enjoyable and atmospheric, and paranormal stuff is my cup of tea. Looking forward to next part whenever it'll be finished.
I really liked this game. The only problem I had was the room where you dive into the sea was difficult to find. It'd be nice to see the notes utilized more, as well.
I finished it (and with a perfect score ;D)!
Great game! It improved on many aspects of the original. Characters are more developed, portrait illustrations are more realistic, and the game is just longer and richer. Well done.
Relly nice game!! good!
A really good game as the BJ series continues to improve. I hope many more games come out in this series. This can be a Larry Vales kind franchise.
I need help though:
Spoiler
How do I get the cactus thing?
Nostradamus:
Spoiler
Get the knife from the knife thrower in the bar. Use it on the cactus, then use the cactus chunk on the morter & pestle.
HOW DO YOU GET THE KNIFE ???
Great job on the second installment! Loved the music and the graphics. I can't wait for the third. Finished it but only got 203 out of 205, not sure what I missed :) .

After talking to the knife guy, go back to the coffee shop.
Good game, good game!
Spoiler
I wanted to gloat to the knife thrower having taken his knife, but he still responded as if he had the knife. Also, I thought it would be cool if Ben walked faster when on the Jitter Juice.
George had some navigation problems on the ship - it looked like he'd been drinking Jitter Juice.
I was a bit disappointed that a paranormal investigator would take a "special" dowsing rod and just use it as firewood. Particularly without comment.
Can you really crush a pearl in a pestle and mortar? Seems pretty unlikely.
Nice portraits (Medicine Man looked a lot like Sean Connery... hmm...) and ghost into bottle animation!
I'm da man, dawg!
Cheers!
Steve
thanks

Steve,
Can you tell me how you got the ghost into the bottle? Did you have to open the bottle first? If so, how did you do that? I'm stuck in treasure room, talk to George for distraction but cannot get any further ??? Thank you. Hope you reply :)

Well I finished it! Awesome aweomse game Grundy, you should be proud! I hope there are many more to come!

Thanks, I have completed the game :)
Real good game. Long enough and good puzzles. Enjoyed playing it. Got stuck a few times but that is normal for me :)
Great stuff! And very fast in production. The music was...dare I say it...awesome! Most of the dialog was natural, and most of the puzzles were fairly logical (within the bounds of fiction). Can't wait for more.
-MillsJROSS
Yes, the puzzles were awesome. Whomsoever helped you with them is quite clearly some sort of genius.
Beautyful! Superb game! When will we see the next episode of Ben Jordans Adventures? And who is this guy making the excellent music?
Nicely done. Longer, better and it also smells better than BJ1. I enjoy.

Just look at the master at work (in his Avatar). He can play the cello even when he's crippled! :o
a very nice game, good puzzles and the music was just perfected. The music matched with everything, like when you enter the bar, just great! Cant wait to play part 3, will there be an part 3?
Ok, I'm stuck
i've got all the things i need to make the moonshine, but how do i do it?
help would be appreciated!
(also, what's the BBCode for a spoiler?)
Spoiler
maybe you need to warm it up, somewhere where there is a fire or something like that?
Spoiler
i've lit the fire in the distillery, but i still can't make the moonshine. i've tried putting the objects in the fire...
Spoiler
maybe you first need to put the ingredients togheter befor you can heat it up
That's the problem. I've got everything, but I don't know how to put the things together. Sorry, I should have explained myself better ;)
1
Spoiler
did you get the malt from the beer?
If, No then you need to do that by putting it into the
Spoiler
distillery - the malt will come out the spout
2
Spoiler
have you put your ingredients in the silver bowl from Anna's house?
Do that and then you can put them in the

still
Re: the hide code, check out where it says BBCode and smileys reference in blue writing just above the smiley faces, when you post or reply to a post!
Or do this [h*] your text [/h*]
h* = hide - you must write the word hide
You can check you've done the right thing if you preview your text before posting it - try it out! ;D
Hope that helps! ;D
Thanks Kediri!
I worked out what I did wrong....
Spoiler
I never picked up the silver bowl from Annie's house
EDIT: I've now finished the game, it was great to play, looking forward to BJ 3!

Hi,
I think that if you go to:
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=14974.0
you will find all the answers you need. :)
Pleeeeeeeease help.....im enjoying the game but am completely stuck!
Spoiler
Where do i find the recipe ?! And also i cant seem to walk out of the square with the coffe shop etc......is this because you can only after youve got to a ceratin point ?!
This is a well worth playing adventure, MUCH better than the previous episode, mainly because for its length. Still, I think it's a rather easy adventure, at least compared to that damn brain-crippling pice of software that Mourir en Mer is. I agree with Vel, the notes are quite useless, and that's disappointing because it was a feature that could have been used better.
Some puzzles take a bit longer to solve (I found myself really stuck for a while in the treasure room), but I guess it's not so difficult to finish it in less than a hour - I did with perfect score, I thought something better for the secret message! :-\
The music is truly awesome, hats off to A. Slotte (if I recall correctly his name), I can't believe the western tune wasn't actually from an Ennio Morricone soundtrack! This is the best thing of this game so far.
A well done game, finally with a paranormal case (as I don't think that Bigfoot in case 1 was one), I hope to see the next case out soon!
Hey I liked your game a lot! :)
and ghormak the music was SUPER :) especially the western tune in the village
???the download isn't working..?????!
I had this exact same problem. I could walk out of the screen (to the west) when I changed to full screen instead of running it in a window.

Ok, I just can't seem to find this 132 year old man, all I see in the bar is the bartender. I did get the drink, too.

Alpha,
I see you are a new member.
Spoiler
Go to the hints and tips forum, you will surely find your answer.
Another thing you can do is a 'search' on top of the page. Type in the name of the game, then 'check mark' (Hints, Completed Game) and check the results
.
Good luck.
Spoiler
Yes, I know of the hints forum, I checked, found the walkthrough, and that's how I know I need to see the old timer, but he's nowhere to be found!
Please, are there any tips you can give me? Did I miss something vital?
I think what he meant was, you not only have to SEARCH in that board, you also have to ASK there instead of there. It's also specified in the rules of this board.
Oh, sorry, thanks for the clarification, I was just looking through these boards and wondered why several people were asking for help on the game, as I was.
