I cursed my luck again as I slid down the monkey's throat. Have my dreams of guzzling grog and plundering galleons been reduced to this? "Three small trials and you're a pirate like us," they said. Fair enough. If only I could stomach the foul brew these scurvy seadogs swilled, the rest would be easy. How could I have known … Read more
I cursed my luck again as I slid down the monkey's throat. Have my dreams of guzzling grog and plundering galleons been reduced to this? "Three small trials and you're a pirate like us," they said. Fair enough. If only I could stomach the foul brew these scurvy seadogs swilled, the rest would be easy. How could I have known I'd meet a powerful and beautiful woman with a jealous suitor too stupid to realize he'd been dead for years? And how can I crawl through this great stone monkey to find a man who walks three inches above the ground and sets fire to his beard every morning? Do business with quaint and humble shopkeepers. Participate in complex and meaningful dialogues. Visit interesting places and steal stuff. Experience the never-ending nightlife of Melee Island. Read less

I'm replaying this game for the first time in a long time because I want to play the first 2 games before I play the new one. I'm doing the 3 trials currently, and I was working on the thievery part. How in the heck did people figure out to combine the yellow flower with the rump roast back in the day? The only hint you get is that the prisoner in the jail tells you about the yellow flower, and he gives you the name of the flower. The name of the flower is in French, and it means sleeping poodle. He says it fast, and I sure as hell wasn't going to remember it later on down the road when I'm actually working on that branch of the trials. I know these kind of games back in the day were all about just trying every combination, but that one feels mean.
