How do I win the spitting contest?
  • 1 of 17: You can get a fair amount of advice from other characters in the game.
  • 2 of 17: For one, do you remember what Largo did before he spit in the bar on Scabb Island?  Or what the color of his spit was?
  • 3 of 17: He bought a green drink and had green spit.
  • 4 of 17: I hate to suggest this, but you really should follow Largo's example, at least this once.
  • 5 of 17: Try buying a drink at the bar.
  • 6 of 17: Unfortunately, he doesn't have any green drinks.
  • 7 of 17: But you can certainly make some.
  • 8 of 17: Yellow and blue make green.
  • 9 of 17: Pour the yellow drink in the blue one or vice-versa, and you'll have a green drink.  Use the crazy straw to drink it, and you'll increase your spitting range.
  • 10 of 17: And as you may have heard around town, you should use the wind to help you.
  • 11 of 17: You can tell which direction the wind is pointing by looking at the crowd.
  • 12 of 17: The woman on the right of the crowd has something around her waist that will fly up when the wind is blowing to the right.  Spit then for some extra distance.
  • 13 of 17: Finally, you'll need to cheat if you want to come in first.
  • 14 of 17: I bet the judge of the contest is really waiting for his mail.
  • 15 of 17: The mail ship is a few days late.
  • 16 of 17: If you blow the ship's horn (from the store in town), the spitmaster will walk away for a minute or two.  Now's your time to cheat.
  • 17 of 17: Use the flags to move them.  You can now use the wind and the green drink to help you get first place.
