Jack Keane Hints

Where can I find a bottle of rum for Eric and Lawrence?

  • 1 of 16: Your two motley crewmen aren't going to be setting sail ANYWHERE until you've provided them with a little "liquid refreshment" and granted them a little shore leave.
  • 2 of 16: So, in true adventure game fashion, we're off to find a seemingly meaningless and random item!
  • 3 of 16: Take a look around the dock area, and look in particular at the stores you can visit.
  • 4 of 16: Did you notice the building at the back of the area? It's called The Savvy Shark, and it's apparently an adventurers' headquarters.
  • 5 of 16: So, let's head inside and take a look around!
  • 6 of 16: There are a lot of useful and bizarre items here, and if you click on enough of them, you will eventually trigger a cut-scene.
  • 7 of 16: Did you look behind the green and gold curtain at the left of the store yet?
  • 8 of 16: If you pull it away, not only will you accidentally walk in on a young lady changing clothes, but you will attract the attention of a nearby shopping adventurer.
  • 9 of 16: A few quick dialogues with this new guy, and you will discover that on a recent trip to the Canary Islands, he obtained some rare Norwegian rum.
  • 10 of 16: Perhaps there is a way to trick him into giving us a bottle of the fine beverage?
  • 11 of 16: He seems very proud of the fact that he's so wealthy, doesn't he?
  • 12 of 16: Surely such a wealthy character would not have any particular need to keep hold of one bottle of measly rum?
  • 13 of 16: Ask him to "Prove that he's wealthy."
  • 14 of 16: He will prove this fact by handing over a bottle of the rum! That was easy. :)
  • 15 of 16: You can now simply head outside back to the Charming Princess and hand the bottle over to either Eric or Lawrence.
  • 16 of 16: They will both head off into town, presumably to get absolutely trashed, leaving you to take a look for the agent you need to find.
