Peter, I am not sure how to help you with that puzzle without telling you exactly what it says.
Spoiler
you have to switch the letters two at a time until it reads as the oath.  I will tell you the first part is "I swear".  If you cannot get past it, pm me.  I will go back and give you the whole thing.

Peter, thats a strange one. One of the beta testers also encountered that, I'm not sure how they solved it (I think it was Peder). Try this;

Look at the underwear. Look at all the other clothing in the hidden compartment too. Then try and use the voucher on the sales lady.

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
Spoiler

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.

I used the alphabet box to uncode that long saying on the screen (I swear by the graves) or the short note (quick, gold silver etc.)

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.

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). YOu'll have to read the letter and talk to the ladies before you can use the  mustache at the tower. With the baroness, check to make sure you only got one voucher and therefore one pair or underwear in your inventory.

I had the same problem. Verb coin: The three cursors that appear when you click for long enough over a hotspot or inventory item. Click on the moustache in the inventory and have the mouse button long enough active until you see the "talk"/"use"/"look" cursor. Use these cursors to examine items or to use them.

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).

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.

Post by: Kaos101 on Mon 12/03/2007 18:26:09
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!

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.

Thanks.

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!

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.

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.  ;D  Yay for spoonbeaks!

Is that a question or do you genuinly need help?

If you're talking about the machine puzzle, just press the buttons to make all the components move around. You'll eventually find that the magnet hangs right above Widebeard's head

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?

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:
Spoiler

2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2 and 1.

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  ;D
