What all should I do before I go?
  • 1 of 5: Make sure you get the two skill books from the old man and use them.
  • 2 of 5: Kill all the cows, goats, and Lobber Pods.
  • 3 of 5: You can visit the various shops, climb the tower, etc, but none of that's really useful.
  • 4 of 5: So head north down the winding path, and you'll embark on your ill-fated voyage automatically as you approach the ship.
  • 5 of 5: NOTE: There's a cut scene that plays when you board the ship which explains where you're intending to go and why, but if you're still pressing a key when the cut scene begins, it'll get skipped.
