The Longest Journey Hints

What is it the guys need for the lunar cannon?

  • 1 of 7: Climb the tree beneath the volcano to look at the cannon and ask the Stickmen about it.
  • 2 of 7: They need to be guaranteed a bit of peace and quiet before they can even begin working on it again.
  • 3 of 7: Then, they need some sort of string made of animal guts.
  • 4 of 7: Something like fishing rod strings.
  • 5 of 7: Have you taken a look at Q'aman lately?
  • 6 of 7: Notice his fishing rod?
  • 7 of 7: Once you get him what he needs to catch some fish, go back and get the fishing rod.  You can give the Stickmen the string from that.
