Ben Jordan 6

[olafmoriarty]

I can't kill the monster. It is too fast. Is there any trick? I have tried like 10 times. I have the trident but I am to slow in finding the spot where I can hit it. Any help?

What I Did...

Spoiler

i positioned the trident right between simon and ben, so when the monster walks towards you the monster's hotspot will appear and you can click the trident on the monster

I finished with 107/107

Yup, the Wayne Gretzky method always helps;

Spoiler

Don't go for the puck, go for the spot the puck is headed towards.

And what works in hockey has to work in adventure gaming, right? :-)

Huh, I killed the monster on the first try. Not sure what I did right, but two small things helped me a lot, I think:

Spoiler

- Go to the inventory and hurrily select the trident BEFORE talking to Alice, so that you easily can pick it out with a few right clicks afterwards.
- Get the cursor into the approximately right position while Alice distracts the monster.

I'm in the cave with the *warm* (hint hint) statue of 3 sea people. What do I do here?

[TheJBurger]

@Nostradamus:

If you mean the oracle island:

Spoiler

Use your notepad on the greek inscription at the bottom of the statue. You need to find someone who can read it to you.

[close]

[Nostradamus]

Did it, got it translated, and I don't get it. It's about "quenching the thirst for knowledge." Huh???
What do I do?

[olafmoriarty]

@ Nostradamus:

Spoiler

Try taking the inscription as literal as you can ...

Spoiler

How do you quelch a thirst?

[close]

Spoiler

You need to bring the statue water.

[close]

Spoiler

In the boat, there's a still. If you pour sea water in it, clean water comes out in the other end.

[close]

Spoiler

Fill the cup (from the captain's house) with sea water, put it through the still, and pour it on the statue.

(It would be nice if someone with a little more insight in the rules here than I have could tell me if it is accepted here to write the exact same hint twice, as this is just a carbon copy of something I wrote Friday.)

Spoiler

I'm stuck at the Siren's Island. I assume I need to make earplugs, and my most likely candidate is the dough from the pizza place, but stupid Ben won't stick the stuff in his ears to save his life. Any help would be appreciated.

[nihilyst]

Spoiler

Use the dough with the hands to split them.

[Obadiah]

Thank you sir. That did the trick.

[kitnel]

Stuck on Minotaur Island, how do i get into the maze?

[Jon]

Kitnel: What items do you have?

[Nostradamus]

olafmoriarty, it is allowed.

I mean you can't expect me or anyone to read through all the thread... and spoil the rest of the game for ourselves.

Now... I've reached the vanishing island... but it seems I'm too fat to get into the opening and the doors into the other place are locked. What do I do next?  (picked up yellow flower)

[blackgsd]

"...but it seems I'm too fat to get into the opening and the doors into the other place are locked. What do I do next?"

Nostradamus,

Spoiler

do you have anything slippery in your inventory?

106/107

Can't seem to figure out that one last elusive point...

Maybe...

Spoiler

If you win the drinking game the first time?

[Holocoz]

i'm in the fisherman's boat for the first time, and now I have no idea what to do there.. I seemed to have missed sumting, but wat is it?

[olafmoriarty]

Holocoz:

Spoiler

The captain is right inside the door. Try using the "talk" option on the door, and he'll come out.

Call me dumb, but I can't find the octupus under water

[Nostradamus]

I'm now stuck with the mechanism in the maze. I have put the cog in.
Now I don't get what I'm supposed to do with the stone plate to make it work. Do I need to find another item in the maze? I've wandered around in the maze and it seems to me like I've been everywhere in it.
Please give a direct answer, not hints.

Spoiler

Go to the up-right room and the octopus will be on the top-left rock. Move your mouse until it appears as an object.

Spoiler

You need to put the horn in the stone plate. The horn is found in the farthest right room, going as far up as you can. The room is filled with skeletons and bones if I recall correctly.

[Nostradamus]

I need help now getting the ingredients for the potion:

1) How do I reach the scales in the pond?  I assume I need to use the mesh cos it said it was a good idea but it's still too deep for it to reach.
2) How do I get the Iris?

[sthomannch]

Nostradamus,
first questions

Spoiler

you need a branch. Use it on the mesh.

[close]

second question

Spoiler

You can pick up flowers from three different places, with three different colours. Somebody has to identify them. When you have the flowers, go back to the bar and use them on the lady that sells flowers. She appears only when you have been asked to bring the iris for the potion.
