Help! I'm stuck in this game (again) and need some help.
Spoilers follow for anybody who hasn't finished the underground
lake area since I'm going to describe where I am in the game
and what I've done....
I've met charon, had him take me to the Isle of the Damned,
cleaned out the graves and got the water wings from the Sirens.
(I ended up killing the Sirens because I did that part before
I went downstairs and found the Book of the Sirens).
I have explored most of the river area (Styx), including
using the bottle oracle, looting the Island depository for
the hooka pipe, searching the Isle of the Lost and Found,
and getting Davy Jonses' Locker.
I offered a cylinder of ash to Charon, and he gave me a key
to the Isle of the Dead but I can't do too much here since I
don't know what to do at the fighters grave (I tried incense
and got an interesting message but it didn't seem to help)
and I don't have a key for the locked gate.
Going out the east exit into the swamp, all I did there was
to talk to the catapillar and find his hooka pipe, for which
he gave me 3 red mushrooms. I don't know where to use these
although the catapillar said something about getting "small".
With only three of them, I don't really feel like running
around to every spot in the game and trying them and then
restarting the game if nothing happened.
1. What do I do at the fighters grave on the Isle of the Dead?
2. How do I get the key for the gate right next to this grave?
3. What do I do (and where) with the 3 red mushrooms?
4. Is there anything else to do in the swamp?
5. Can someone who has finished the game give me an idea of
how far along I am in the game? 50% 20% 80%????
6. Has anybody found any way to get rid of now useless items
like the 5th rubber strand or the rope-and-hook(no longer
needed)?
Thanks,
William
