Telltale Games

Crushem · 08/21/2009, 02:45 pm

Have all three artifacts I need to Throw it into the ocean and repeat the words.

So I don't have the parrot in my inventory and now the turtle is sitting in the mold. I figured I needed to shoot the ball of artifacts out of a cannon but when I try to use it it gives the dialog line from when Lechuck was at the cannon.

Have searched everywhere and this is the first time I have caved to ask for help in a MI game.

I find it odd for 4 reasons:
1) I was given back the parrot and dont have it.
2) The turtle is back in the mold.
3) Music from when Lechuck was fighting the 3 pirates still plays at that part of the jungle.
4) Cant look at or shoot cannon because Guybrush acts like Lechuck is still standing there saying the following dialog "I don't want to disturb him while he is using a connon" or some nonsense like that but no one is standing there.

Am I crazy? I dont want the answer if I am wrong. But if it's a glitch it would be nice to know

SPOILERS

Exactly the same thing....

Looks like a bug/glitch (especially with the missing parrot and the non existent lechuck at the cannon..).
Also, notice that the rubber tree is still there on the island....

- i think a cut scene should have happened and that we werent supposed to explore all these places....

Anybody passed this point?

yeah soon as i noticed this i thought id post it up here, i dont know if it effects the game, well hopefully not cause im still playing it, but heres a print screen i did, lechucks not even there

beuwolf · 08/21/2009, 03:36 pm

Found how to end it:

throw the ball near the no fishing sign at the entrance to your ship (there is an ocean there)

Definitely major glitches though that should have been caught in the testing.. tssk tssk

ChromeShark · 08/21/2009, 04:34 pm

This confused me too, I think I missed Elaine telling me what I was supposed to do so I was searching everywhere for something new!

Maybe the end seen should play automatically when you approach the ship to avoid this happening.

Hi All

I'm stuck with the mast issue. The wood doesn't seem strong enough, there are trees on the beach, however I don't know the hell what can I do, any idea ??

It seems I experienced visual glitches too.

There is another strange black bullet near Lechuck's cannon on the island.

hansschmucker · 08/21/2009, 05:17 pm

You need to find a more flexible mast replacement on one of the little islands

Personally, I think that's one of the worst "puzzles", since it depends entirely on random searching without any clues where to look. The wood on the beach is also entirely misleading since it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the puzzle.

beuwolf · 08/21/2009, 05:43 pm

I disagree. For some reason this was the easiest puzzle for me....

You already go to that island to find the treasure and if you click on the coconut it bounces off the rubber tree... that's why at the pirate scene I already guessed what needed to be done..

hansschmucker · 08/21/2009, 06:14 pm

Ah OK... I can see the reasoning. It didn't work for me though because I never thought about the tree being a rubber tree, just because coconuts bounce off ... a normal tree would behave no different in a cartoon world.

Slanzinger · 08/22/2009, 01:55 am

Well afterwards I'm pretty sure he does describe it as a rubber tree if you look at it again. I think so, at least. Certainly the other pirates do

Crushem · 08/22/2009, 05:16 am

Nice to know I am not going Crazy! It doesn't anger me but a little disappointing that such a huge glitch made it into the game

Def. have to disagree with you on the mast puzzle as well. sorry dude

Crushem · 08/22/2009, 05:18 am

P.S. Thanks for all of your help

:-)

jweir · 08/22/2009, 07:46 am

Just my two cents here, the Mer-leader told you to throw the ball into the ocean (not fire it from a cannon). I'm pretty sure this was just a case of over thinking the puzzle, but it wasn't that difficult for me to figure out there was a hotspot called "ocean" by the no fishing sign. Yes they shouldn't have the invisible LeChuck at the cannon or the rubber tree back in place, but you'd never even see those if you just threw it in the ocean like you were told. I'm going to have to say you're just being too picky here.

PROGAME · 08/22/2009, 08:14 am

him talking to an invisible Lechuck is nothing:
try going back to the place where the altar fell. there is a new fake turtle waiting for you there! i got to the point that the poxed captain is waving a fake turtle (and sinking) while having another fake turtle made from the same talking parrot in my pocket

sneaky pete · 08/22/2009, 03:18 pm

try shooting the cannon on your ship after you've sunken buddy's ship... also after i had sunken the ship a floating door above water was present

NinjaDave · 08/22/2009, 07:15 pm

definetly not cool, i saw the cannon balls floating in game but avoided them. a few things to clean up lucasarts !

Lucasarts? Their only involvement afaik is the licensing of the franchise. I am pretty sure Telltale does all of the actual development.

chrisff1989 · 08/23/2009, 06:06 am

Definitely a big glitch no matter how you look at it. Could be easily avoided by disabling the map and having Guybrush say something along the lines of "But I still need to summon the sea creatures!" or "But I don't know where to go!"
