The Ninja

[partially]

THANK YOU!!! And telltale that was a bit ill-conceived that you have to use the map on the well, it wasn't clear at all. I got everything right but was bewildered that it wasn't working, thanks for the help.

I don't see why so many people had a hard time figuring out the part about using the map on the well. Granted, it did take me a few failed attempts, but that just convinced me to take a closer look at the map. It doesn't just show the well as the starting point - it shows a hand holding the map towards the well.

Ii found the spot but it's not there what must I do now

[jjuju]

Don't worry figured it out

I figured the hand near the well would indicate your starting point, so that players won't get confused an start at the jungle entrance or where D'Oro is. I did need to read this thread to figure out I needed to use the map on the well... followed the path about 4 times or so without using the map on the well. I even tried to hide the ninja inside the clamp

Hey guys, heads up, the hand holding the map over the well on the map itself is an important clue and something you might want to remember later ...

How? I've got there to find that he says someone's already dug it up.. but can't for the life of me work out what to do now.

Okay, so maybe you should bury something new?

[hamzie]

here is a complete walkthrough for the ninja bit


1. Talk to (i know the doll mans name starts with O.. so ill call him olga) olga about his porclein pirate thingo.. till he mentions the rare ninja model
2. You get the option to say something along the lines of "Look its the ninja"
3. As olga turns around.. you pick up one of the pink dolls
4. Go dump this pink doll in the tar near the news agency thing
5. Get your club 41 card from the socks on the clothes line near the ship
6. go to club 41
7. Pick up that olive sword thing
8. Combine tar doll and sword
9. Follow the map (which you also get from olga by talking to him about how he got scammed)
10. Put the doll in the hole

[hamzie]

Agreed. I really don't understand why you'd need to use the map on the well to be able to get to the treasure. Following the instructions should have been enough (as it was in MI 1) or at least should have been working without having the need to trigger the whole sequence with the map. To be honest, I've rarely been this frustrated over a puzzle, because was following the same tedious over and over while hoping to see something I missed.

Phew... I didn't realise to use the map on the well either; just thought I had to start there. Didn't really wanna come and look here in case I spoiled anything, lucky I found this one :-) Thanks folks...

Okay, I have Dave the ninja. I have the map from D'Oro. I found the start point for the map and follow the directions all the way through the bird. And then nothing. If I keep walking that direction, the frame changes, there's a "fwoomp!" off in the distance somewhere, and he says something clever like "Oh, monkeyspit!" (and I know how he feels). If I walk back to the start point, I just stand there staring like a fool while nothing happens. If I drop the map in again, nothing happens. How am I not finding the X?

From an outside point of view (having not seen how you're doing it), all I can say is you must be getting a part wrong somewhere.

If you can't put the map in again, you should be able too once you "fail" anyway, exit the area, maybe go back to the docks, then go and try the well again. Make sure you follow it all down to the smallest detail, some parts are tricky, especially if they make you turn round on a single straight path due to a new noise behind you. Basically, just tripple check everything first.

Here's my order of operations:

1. Walk up to wishing well and drop in ninja map (there's a little earthquake at this point).
2. Walk right (pig), down (monkey), up (bees), down (monkey), right (pig), up (bees), left (bird).

3. Wonder why nothing exciting happens at that point.

Must be a bug then, as thats exactly what I've done three times now, and it's worked everytime.

Only thing I can suggest is let them know about it, and if you have a save point try from there, if not, speed run back to that point with a new game.

Once you've done the final bird do you walk across the whole screen? there's more off to the right I think.
