[UPWARDS TOWARD THE ICON]

Hi shadow, do you perhaps have a savegame for me? This sounds weird, I like to check it out.

I sent you a saved game. Just for fun, I reloaded from before part 4 begins to see if the variables reset and I got a different recipe which I used and that didn't work either. I must be missing something.

can anyone confirm:

Spoiler

All you do is line up the number with the symbols all pointing UPWARDS TOWARD THE ICON and then USE the central bolt and the door opens? Am I missing any steps?

what action triggers the ability to solve the quest for the glue? I fixed everything but that and wandered around each room and tried everything when that became available but I'm puzzled as to what triggered it

[close]

Spoliers?

Spoiler

I'm guessing just using Sonic, since he's the fastest?
At least I didn't struggle with that one, I clicked and he just grabbed it. I was using Sonic at the time...

[close]

Yes, I got that part. I'll pm what I meant if that's ok...

SHADOW

I played this last night and it was quite fun. Considering the fact that it was a MAGS entry it was quite well designed and gets my vote.

I am wondering:

Spoiler

It worked for me! Have you looked at the voodoo cookbook? The clue might be different every game?

[close]

It says

Spoiler

for 4 portions you need 2 pounds of wood-horses, 8 drips of tippex
got it!

[close]

I had the same, so it was

Spoiler

beetle, tippex and 4. So beetles are also called wood-horses? Lots of monkey wrenches in here

[close]

Thanks @all for pointing me to the solution!

I STILL am not getting that one.

Spoiler

my mojo book says 3 portions you need 2 ounces of duck fins, 8 drips of tippex. I lined up the 3, duck foot and phial pointing to the top and it doesn't open.I pushed the central bolt. Maybe you do something else to open it?

[close]

How is this one solved?

SHADOW

Same with me on both points.

Spoiler

I also don't know why I made the grog in the grog distillery. I did note that you can take the disc so I was thinking that maybe it needs to be altered to get it to work?

[close]

Spoiler

about the grog: didn't you use it on the rusty chest to get out the banana picking thing to be able to get the bag from the dead man in the tree?

[close]

no, I used

Spoiler

the doom drink

[close]

I'm in part 4 at the fortress

Spoiler

already found the stone disk, but (there is) no clue how to arrange them. Bruteforce it gets boring

[close]

Already past it, but i'm curious, after giving polly the

Spoiler

crack he gives directions, but they do not seem to be usefull. I found the dinosaur by chance

[close]

Yes, I didn't get why I should give

Spoiler

crack to the parrot

[close]

I'm stuck in the same place

Spoiler

I tried all the possible combinations with the stone disk, but nothing happened

[close]

Take the pills and you'll see the pink rabbit

[close]

Thank you!

Spoiler

I actually did Use the pills and it said "I don't know what this his" but I didn't realize that you have to click the Use in the verb coin rather than using from inventory.

[close]

SHADOW

I'm in part 4.

Spoiler

I have the grog that I created, the banana picker, broken madonna, gold herring that I can switch to straw, syringe and pills. I gave the crack to the bird before I entered the jungle. I'm up to the dinosaur and I can't get out of that room because I need a map or guide. I assume that the herring is the guide because of the way he holds it when you use it but I can't use anything on it. Herbert is no help.

Yes, he is. Listen to what he says.

[close]

I hope someone has a hint.

Spoiler

as well, is the animal and the phone that I encountered of any use in the game?

Nope.

[close]

SHADOW

Spoiler

he says to follow the pink rabbit. That hint is no use as I don't know what he's referring to

[close]

Thank you

Ok and on that note:

Spoiler

does anyone know what to give the cannibals? I've tried literally everything

[close]

SHADOW

Spoiler

You can give them one of the t-shirts, but you have to use the weaver's crook first to change its colour. Might have to use the crook on the ball of twine first (and maybe ask the lady of the summit about the twine to find out it was made by the weavers).

[close]

Thank you! I see no connection between

Spoiler

changing the ball of twine, which I've actually done a few times in the past and being able to change the t shirt

[close]

so I don't know how anyone was to guess that but I am able to continue.

Thanks again!

SHADOW

[close]

SHADOW

Spoiler

I've been to the village a dozen or so times but I have no idea how to make the cannibals come out. Does anyone happen to know? I don't know how to open the door, if that's what's necessary. I took the ceramic fruit and banana. I don't know if there's anything to do with the stone head.

[close]

Thank you

SHADOW

You probably ran into a known BUG!
(This is fixed in 1.1)

Spoiler

If you enter the village the first time, pick up the fruits.
After that the cannibals will appear if you just go left.
Do NOT go instantly in one of the shacks after picking up the fruits, since Grisush won't trigger the appearance of the cannibals while going to a shack-door.
If you already have done this, you have only the choice of reload a savegame.

[close]

Oh. Ok I loaded a saved game and spent 45 minutes catching up. Thanks anyway.

SHADOW

Where can't you progress? Where is an interesting object located?

Spoiler

I need to give an item to Berthold but I've given him everything in inventory and bought everything I can buy just in case. So I'm stuck. The interesting object is in the captain's room but I can't get past him

[close]

SHADOW

Spoiler

Finally worked what to do next! Use the pencil on the map in the captain's room, then look at it to distract him and grab the chainsaw.

Spoiler

Then give the chainsaw to Berthold

[close]

[close]

Thanks guys, continuing on!

Spoiler

got into the monkey head area...!

To get past Erna

Spoiler

Give her the invisibility necklace

[close]

[close]

Thank you. I would never have gotten that one and it doesn't really make much sense. So now I'm at the same place as you, trying to guess what Berthold wants.

Spoiler

The stink bomb, one of the t-shirts and myrtle are all needed to solve puzzles

[close]

[/spoiler]

Spoiler

Well, I did the stink bomb on the garden and the gardener is upset. It seems that I need to give him something to comfort him but it's just a matter of guessing what he might want and I tried everything and I tried purchasing everything and no go. I have no idea what myrtle is for and same with the t shirts. No idea where to get a monkey for the nose from still.

[close]

These two puzzles really feel like a "read my mind" game.

I hope someone has some info that doesn't relate to other adventure games.

SHADOW

Try to...

Spoiler

...find a "monkey" to open the gate.

[close]

By the way, it seems that you also have a lot to do elsewhere.

Spoiler

The only monkey in the game that I've encountered is the 3 headed one so I guess I'm not there yet.

As far as doing a lot elsewhere, so far goals in the game have pretty much followed one after the other. Solving one challenge would provide the means of progressing. As I said, I did the stated goal of ending the party but I have no achievable clear goals at this point.

The only loose ends now:
- Getting food for the Sasquash. Based on the previous hint I am not there yet
- Getting the gate open. Based on your message I'm not there yet as there is no monkey
- There's nothing to do with the joint yet
- I don't know if I am supposed to but the guy with the gun is preventing me from entering the passage on the ghost ship
- Also on the ghost ship it's possible that I need to get past Erna but this is not clear if this is a goal.
- I think that I still need pepper as the one on the ship can't be used.

I don't know if I need to do something with the items from the shop (elvis plate and stink bomb and t shirts) so I don't want to waste the money yet till I see a purpose. I don't know if I need myrtle so I don't want to spend the money there either. I don't know if you can run out of money in this game so I don't want to spend until I know that I need to. I also don't know if I need to do anything with the guys outside the casino or the haystack in the circus.

[close]

If I could get some direction that would be appreciated.

SHADOW

Ok, I need help again:

Spoiler

Someone asked about the nose and the gate at the clearing but this one was answered. Anyone with info would be appreciated. I never played MI1 either.
I need a way to dry out the hemp.

[close]

Thank you

SHADOW

Spoiler

For the hemp, there's a screen where fake Guybrush remarks that it's quite hot the first time you go there.

Spoiler

Use the hemp on the sun in the 'bifurcation' screen

[close]

In MI1, there's a monkey that follows you around who hangs off the nose for you, but not sure at the moment how this helps here!

[close]

Thank you! I would NEVER have seen that.

Spoiler

Unfortunately I cannot proceed as I can't get past the gate and I don't know of any monkey in the game. I tried giving the joint to everyone but no one wants it. That's strange because the hint from the woman was that you need to end the party to continue the game. That allowed me to create the joint but now there's a dead end

[close]

Thanks anyway

SHADOW

Spoiler

You're right with the fire alarm, but not with the hemp.
Try to start the alarm another way.

[close]

Let's see:

Spoiler

I have noted that there is a fire alarm and fireplace in the room upstairs. However there's nothing that I can put into the fireplace and no way to start a fire. I've been around the island and there's no matches, lighter, etc. anywhere that I've seen. The only guesses I have are: hannibal has a cigar but you can't do anything in that area, there are some wires inside the restaurant, there's an open fire in the circus tent but you can't interact with it. I have noticed that you can put the stink bomb on the lawn but again no way to light it

[close]

Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

SHADOW

PS Figured it out. Thanks!
