Peter, I am not sure how to help you with that puzzle without telling you exactly what it says.

If you talk into the pipe more than once it still runs through the fish-plane takeoff and disguise cutscene, which gives you an unlimited supply of vouchers which also means you can get several kinky undies.

Beautiful game! I progressed quite well, but now

I have a lot of items, two of them for a flag for the leprechauns: clover and rainbow scarf. But I have no chance to buy an outfit for the lady in front of the closed shop, so I can't get her pink outfit. I read something about a voucher, but I can do nothing at the tower. When I talk into the pipes (I opened them much earlier in the game), the answer is "these are pigeons" ore something like this. I also have several envelopes of the DLA already, I can't read them nor use them or give them.

ok just went back into game again and decoded that long saying in the box by pressing the correct keys in the alphabet box.to spell out I swear by the graves, etc........ Nothing........It said that that wasnt it.
What am I doing wrong...... It is a lot to keep typing in and I have done it about 3 times already........ The short note doesnt work either if I type in the correct letters.  OK now I have done it 4 times..... still no luck......

I think the 2 underwear in inventory is the problem. The first time I got two coupon because I spoke through the pipe twice and accidentally used both coupons and would up with two pairs of underwear. Nelly would not let me use the moustache.

I went back to an older savegame and only got one coupon and subsequently one pair of underwear. This time I could use the moustache without a problem.

[piperhcombs]

mustache:

Spoiler

Are you trying to put it on at the tower or to give the baroness the underwear?

Either way, to put on the mustache, you have to click on it, bring up the verb coin and interact with it (hook).

With the baroness, check to make sure you only got one voucher and therefore one pair or underwear in your inventory.

at the end and although I read the cheat sheet on how to move the magnet, I still cant seem to understand it and it is not working for me....Anyone have a simple way to tell me how to do it??
Thank you

[close]

[piperhcombs]

magnet:

Spoiler

I don't know what the combination is since I randomly hit the buttons until I saw the pattern and used trial and error.

You only have to concentrate on the horseshoe shaped magnet. Experiment and watch how each rectangular button makes the magnet move (how many spaces left or right and how many spaces up or down). See if you can figure out the correct combination. The circular buttons activate the things you're moving. Just press the magnet button when you have the magnet position directly over Widebeard (this means as low as possible over him).

[close]

[Kaos101]

I believe that is what I said in the guide but perhaps I made it complicated by trying to explain everything. The combination I used was made on the spot. I simply copied down the steps I took because I knew the same that worked for me would work for someone else. But I never figured out how to reset it, which would have helped if someone had already screwed up.

[Rosie]

Thanks to you both, Piper and Kaos...... I did finally figure it out randomly and finished the game.  What a fun game that was,,,,,,We certainly need more of them...

[Kaos101]

You're right about that, Rosie. I'm waiting for the next game to be shown on here which will blow me away(like a ben jordan game, for one)

[Eva]

I hate the hook-a-duck game, I can only get 5 at the most....is there a special order to pick them? There's a lot a time wasted when swapping the hooks, quite a few ducks go past while there's still text in the way that prevents me from doing anything.

[Rosie]

no special order.....just trial and error...... try to get the hook on as fast as you can and then aim high on the ducks to get their hook......

[Kaos101]

lol that's not it at all. It took me a while to figure it out as well. The game ends as soon as it does because you click as fast as you can, but the game ends after you click eight times( i.e. use the hook eight times).  So its only possible to get eight out of eight.  You only have to miss one to get the seven. The ducks will keep coming until you left-click eight times. It does require some concentration since the targets are moving, but the games not rushed.

Thanks Kaos101, this is exactly what I needed to know, I thought the time was limited to a certain amount of second and was clicking like mad - that naturally made me miss many ducks and got the low score. Now I can go back to the game and get the scarf....hurrah!

You should never have gotten into the ship. You need to make it seem(or sound) like you've gotten in, but actually have not. After the ship flies off, Nelly will walk herself back up to the women

If you mean the pirates code, you can reference my guide for the correct pattern. But you just need to switch the letters two at a time until the code reads completely literate( so to speak). I hope that helps

I still can't win the duck game; I've tried to use the hook with everything in my inventory, I tried using the shovel. I think that I am missing something in my inventory.

Spoiler

You might have solved this, but I'm still stuck at it. After I pick up the defective hook, I try clicking the new hook on it, doesn't work. Try interacting with it (and I get the message that it's unscrewable, but still Nelly doesn't unscrew it), nothing happens. Tried interacting with it AFTER I attempted to get a duck with the defective hook, nothing happens. It's somewhat annoying, because I figured out what I need to do, but I don't seem to be able to do it.

I've already got one thinking that I would need it for a task I needed to complete, but it turned out that I dind't need it afther all, now i've got a drink but don't know if i'll need it or if I choose the right one. 
Tanks in advance

[Rosie]

Spoiler

you need the cat one, forgot the name.  She says, oh there is a picture of a cat on the bottle.....This will be used on your cat to make it more aggresive with that dog to get the 4 leaf clover

Island with the leprecons:  They need to feel happy..... You have to make a new flag for them.  They will tell you and give you a drawing of the flag.  You need three things for the flag.  One is a rainbow (which you will win at the duck game, one is a 4 leaf clover(the dog that the lady is holding has one in its mouth on that platform by the airship) and you need to get something for the mayors wife in town so you can get her undies for the material for the flag.

That's all I remember, hope this helps

[Nostradamus]

Jon, sounds like you're just giving general advice on how to act in an adventure game...

anyway:

Spoiler

looking at it and using it doesn't make her read it, can't use ANY item on Nelly (she doesn't have a hotspot) and using the book on everybody in the game doesn't advance anything. Do I have the right book?  it's about birds. Nelly doesn't want to take the other books from the bin and doesn't want the Widebeard book

I also had problems, but you can look in the inventory (with verb coin) or use an inventory item. BTW: The book about the birds is useful when presented to a bird.

OK, I made some progress now I got the pass but I can't enter both locations in the island. What do I do next?

[sthomannch]

how do i get pirates oath?

[Kaos101]

Nostradamus,

Spoiler

To win the duck game, you must replace the current silver hook on the stick with the ihook, which you can get at O & B's. After that, you just have to pick up the stick and use it to hook the ducks onto the hook(just clicking the loops above their heads will do it.

The pirates Oath is written onto the wall outside the bar. You need to retrieve the diction book from the lone grave in front of the Baron's house, then decode the message

I don't have the daalars to buy the iHook!

you have to request the two daaldars from the lephrachan at the wall.

[Nostradamus]

no, it costs 700 daalders... how do I get that?

[Kaos101]

Spoiler

Use one of the daalders to get into the Rogue Gallery at the bar. take one of the postcards from the corner of the painting(as well as the mustache on the skeleton, but for a different reason). Offer the post card to them, and they will say it needs to be signed. Do that yourself with the quill, then give it to them

[close]

[paolo]

Hm, I've read more than I wanted to know in the spoilers, but am stuck...

Spoiler

I need to buy the Saucy Sue but have no money.

I know that I need a voucher, but only because I've read about it in the spoilers. My question is not "Where can I can find it?" but "What do I need to do in the game at this point in order to find out that I need a voucher?"

Inventory: shovel, map, book, rock, quill, phrase book, tattoo, drink (Blackbeard's rum, but I can swap that for something else), cat burglar, pass, flag blueprint, iHook, rainbow scarf, moustache.

[close]

Thanks.

[Nostradamus]

OK done that, now:

Spoiler

how do I get the lingerie for the Baroness to exchange it for her pink underwear for the flag?

[close]

[Kaos101]

I'll explain it in step-by-step format

Spoiler

1.)Make sure you have the moustache from the rogue's gallery.
2.) Talk to Horace Green I think her name is at the top of Baon's Tower.
3.) Talk about Angelo
4.)Put on the moustace
5.) Talk to her and get her to be ready
6.) talk into the pipe. Bla bla bal, you get the gift voucher for the babylon. Give it to the woman. She'll open up the gallery
7.) Look at all the attire, then select to but one-piece.
8.  give it to the Baroness with the moustache on.

...I missed a couple things but you can figure it out

Aaaagh!  Please help me!

Spoiler

I'm in the mine's jail-trap, I've tried every thread of conversation with the Baron twice, tried every inventory item I have on him and everything else within reach of the screen, thrown the three small stones so they hit the bell...what else can I do???   From what I read of other hints, I'm fairly sure I have to crank to get power and use the control pad to manipulate a magnet to catch his iron feet or something...but every time I try to move, he tells me not to.  I bet this is going to be blindingly obvious once you tell me.  Thanks!

[close]

[Joyce]

Spoiler

this is what you should say to the baron
1. I can help you
2. I can give you information.
3. Information about pirates.
4. Pirate codes.

Then give him phrase book. Then throw pebble to make a loud noise and while this noise is going on use the crank.

[close]

[Play_Pretend]

Thanks Joyce!   Ironically, in typical hint thread fashion, as soon as I got home and tried it again, I figured out what I'd missed and finished the game within a few minutes.    Yay for spoonbeaks!

I'm so stuck... when i talk to the bird about piraglyphics i cant exit the conversation it cuts off the goodbye!!! what do i do??

Sorry this reply is so late, but Kristina didn't message me. If you're still around Kristina, you're playing at too low a resolution (320x240).  You probably haven't unzipped the game. Make sure that you've taken all the files out of the zipped folder and put them on your hard drive. If you have done that, check winsetup and make sure it's set to 640x480 resolution. You may have to start from the beginning again, sorry!

That's not really a hint, but I thought i'd better set the record straight. On that subject...

'She'? Can't a guy make a game about cute birds without having his gender brought into question?

[Kaos101]

No....unless of course the game has a catchy pirate theme.

btw...the pirate code is extremely simple u jus have to the msg which has bin written the slvr gld thing...and the code becomes decoded on its own...

Not sure what you mean by that but...

Spoiler

Give the book to Widebeard, telling him that you can help him. That'll keep him for a while. Pick up the pebbles next to you and throw them on the bell. As soon as the bell sounds, pull the lever next to you. Use the round buttons to move the magnet. Try to get the magnet over Widebeard.

And if you want to know the sequence of the magnet from the default position:

[Crimson Wizard]

The solution to the puzzle is HERE melin, but I warn you that it requires a certain degree of control over the letters of the alphabet.

Hehe, I remember solving this puzzle even without the key (if I remember correctly, there was some kind of hint to it); actually I couldn't understand how to use the hint, so I used the method which I read in one detective novel. It is based on knowing peculiarities of english language, first of which is that most used syllable is "e", other than that most used double-letter combinations are "ee" and "ll", and so on.
It took a whole while, but when I finally finished it, I felt pleasure beyond belief
