I've mixed all the ingredients to make the moonshine except for the malt.  I have a draft beer but it won't mix w/the other ingredients.  Do I need to get malt from somewhere else?

You need to distil the beer. You need to light the still and put the beer into it.

Pour the beer into the receptacle on the still..... it will "drip" the malt that you need

I have the wine, the ghost, the distraction. I imagine I have to give the wine to the ghost, but how do I open the bottle (if I have to).  If not, how to I give the wine to the ghost ???

You don't need to open the bottle.

Have you got the Black Pearl? Have George distract the ghost, then take one. Grind it up in the mortar and pestle, then use the pearl fragments on the bottle to create a spirit box. Then use the spirit box on the ghost.

Thanks Ashen,

With your hint, I completed the game in less than 5 minutes. This was so obvious and yet I was stubbornly fooling around with the bottle. :-[

Walk to your right, where the warning sign is, pass the sign then give him the diving suit, watch cut scene and you should be up to 157 points. :)

Yeah! well maybe you're missing something in inventory ???

I really don't know why it's not working for you as it did for me with the same points :-\

So let us know what you have in inventory and then we can compare and see if you are missing something. :)

Hi Tina,

I have checked my inventory and have exactly the same things.

I replayed the game from 138 to 148 to 157 points and it always works for me.

Have you switched maps using the flower on the man ???

Your home-made diving suit: use medical tape, oxygen tank, helmet ???

IF you did all that, then you don't have to use the map on sign or lake :) 

You just walk by the sign, read sign, and keep on walking to the far right side of screen...... use diving on Ben....you will come back from behind the big rock all dressed in diving suit. You get 'you quickly put on your diving suit' and then 'You take a deep breath of air and dive into the Salton Sea', then watch cut scenes and you end up in cell with George with 157 points. :)

If this doesn't work, I really don't know what else to tell you  :)

Tina,

Spoiler
Did you LOOK at the map in inventory while you were near the warning sign area?   When looking at the map, it tells that the "Lost Galleon is right in the center of the Salton Sea"......   this is what it took for me to be able to use the diving suit and proceed with the game

Hi minataure,

Have you read my post right above cittymom ???

Check your points. :)  If they are the same, then you are not missing anything. :)

Then you should be able to look at the sign, go behind the big rock on the right of the sign, near the water, and be able to wear your suit.  If I remember correctly, once you get behind that big rock, you 'use' the suit on yourself. 

Maybe you are not going far enough to the right  :-\ (this is just a thought, I'm not sure if it makes a difference) :-\

Hi about the dive suit you have to go behind the big rock on the right of metal box screen then you'll find a "private" beach and then you can swim (i dont speak english very well sorry i'm from chile ^^) :-*
