Monday

Morning

After you speak with Aboubakar (who will give you a small wooden squid), look out the porthole. Talk to the parrot, then open the chest to find your belongings are missing. Pick up the teapot and the saber, then exit your cabin. Make sure you look at, and look behind one of the paintings on the wall in the corridor.

Knock on door number 2, then go inside. Look at the camera, bed, gramophone, bananas, binoculars, and plans. Take the bananas, then talk to Fitzcarraldo. He agrees to lend you his binoculars if you can get him a recital from the person next door. Show the wooden squid to Fitzcarraldo, and he will give you another one.

Leave this room and next go to cabin number 6. Knock and go inside. Look at everything here, including the chicken, hut, masks, balaphon and cowry shells on the table. Talk to Aboubakar, then leave his cabin and go up the stairs. Look at the bell, the barrels (kick one for a laugh) and the rope. Get a cannonball, then knock on the door to the Captain's cabin and go inside.

After you automatically return to your own cabin, head out, up the stairs, and into the Captain's cabin again. Look at the bathtub, wheel, periscope (make sure you also use this), astrolabe, map, poster, cage and porthole, then talk to the Captain about everything. Show him the wooden squid. If you now look in your notebook, you should have a page devoted to each of the passengers on the ship.

Leave the cabin and head up the stairs to the back bridge. Go right to the front bridge, and look at Villon, who is seasick. Also look at the 2 anchors, before heading right to the fore and looking at the figurehead. Return to the back bridge and go through the door to the restaurant. Talk to the Zog, then take a shrimp and a glass of wine from the bar, and the salt box from the table. Talk to the other man here (Rasputin), and he will suggest getting drunk to avoid seasickness. Show your squid to the Zog and to Rasputin, then leave the restaurant.

Go back to Villon and talk to him - he will go to the restaurant. Follow him there and show him the squid, then return to the back bridge and climb the stairs to reach the poop deck. Talk to Olaf here, and show him the wooden squid. Look at the plant, mop and deck chair, then use one of the chairs. Leave this area and time will progress.

Afternoon

Return to the poop deck and look at Ophelia, then talk to both her and Aboubakar. Next go to the restaurant and talk to Rasputin about Ophelia - Villon will leave the room. Keep talking to Rasputin, then go back to the poop deck again. Talk to Ophelia once more, then head down to cabin number 6. The Captain will order you to find some ice.

Head to the Captain's cabin and use the teapot in the bathtub to get some water. Get the salt from the restaurant if you didn't take it earlier, then talk to Ophelia at the poop deck and she will get a sausage for you. Go to cabin number 2 and use the teapot, salt, and sausage on the ice machine. Now use the machine to get some ice, and go back to cabin number 6.

Go up and show Ophelia the wooden squid, then go down to the restaurant and talk to Rasputin and Villon. Finally, return to your cabin (number 1) and you will discover an anonymous letter. Leave your cabin.

Evening

Enter cabin 6 and talk to Aboubakar several times. Next enter cabin 4 and look at the book, helmet, horn, shield, chest, rock and watering can. Talk to Olaf, particularly about the runes. Head to the Captain's cabin and talk to him (particularly about about the letter he is writing). Go up to the restaurant and talk to Ingrid, who will give a recital if you can provide a helmet with 2 horns. Go back to cabin 4 and talk to Olaf about Ingrid, then take the helmet and give it to Ingrid back up at the restaurant.

Go back down to the cabins and enter number 2. Talk to Fitzcarraldo about the binoculars and he will give them to you and take you to the restaurant. Talk to him there, then go to the fore of the ship and put a statuette in the cannon. You will fall asleep before seeing who takes it.

Tuesday

Morning

After your chat with one of the Zog brothers, go to the cannon and look in it. Head to the poop deck and talk to Olaf, then go down into the restaurant. Talk to the Zog brother about everything, then talk to Rasputin to find out he gave a mushroom to Villon.

Go down and enter cabin 5. Look at the Zog on the bed to find he has been vampirised. Also look at the picture on the wall, and take the flower from the left of the screen. Now visit the Captain and he will give you a pass key to investigate the vampirisation. Use this pass key to enter cabin 4. Use the notebook on the rock runes to copy them, then use your saber to cut some grass. Use the pass key to enter cabin 10 - read the plaque in here, then knock on the coffin to talk to Vlad. Next enter cabin 9 with the key. Look at the lute, portrait, target, graffiti, wine and books. Take the sausage from the wall, then the cheese and dice from the table. Read the paper on the table, and the paper on the floor next to the table, then look at the stool to note it is flammable.

Use the pass key to get into cabin 8, and look at the chest, icons and still. Pull the box from beneath the bed and take some mushrooms, then push the box back beneath the bed. Return to the captain and tell him about Vlad so that he nails Vlad's cabin shut. Also give him your copy of the runes from Olaf's cabin. Now go back up to the restaurant and play dice with Rasputin several times - you will always lose.

Afternoon

Head down to cabin 6 and talk to Aboubakar. Play dice with him, and he will give you a bad luck charm. Next enter cabin 7, and look at the books. Open the wardrobe and use the phone, then close the wardrobe again. Go to the restaurant and talk to the people having dinner, then put a mushroom on Villon's plate. Leave the restaurant.

Evening

After you automatically attend the recital, enter cabin 2 and talk to Fitzcarraldo. Go out and up the stairs to the storeroom, where Rasputin is passed out on the floor. Search his body to get a small key, and you will hear a voice. Talk to Villon, who is imprisoned inside the large metal bell because he beat up Aboubakar again. Place the bad luck fetish on Rasputin's body, then enter the captain's cabin. Get some more water in your teapot (Aboubakar will need ice again).

Head downstairs and into cabin 6, where the captain will ask for more ice. Go to cabin 2 and use the water, salt and sausage on the machine, then use the machine and take the ice. Go back to cabin 6 and you will automatically hand over the ice.

Use your pass key to enter cabin 8, then use the small key you stole from Rasputin to unlock the chest. Open the chest and look inside to automatically take a piece of paper. Read the paper to see a power potion for cockroaches, and a list of 5 cities. Go to cabin 1 and you will automatically read the new anonymous letter. Head to the restaurant and talk to Ophelia, then go up to the poop deck and talk to the Zog brother - you will bribe him to help you, but need to give him a large pile of money tomorrow for him to agree. Go back down towards your cabin and you will automatically sleep.

Wednesday

Morning

Go to cabin 2 and talk to Fitzcarraldo, then go up to the storeroom and talk to Villon, who is still in the bell. Head up to the front bridge, and the captain will introduce you to Odysseus. Talk to him, and he will help you if you can find a cockroach to challenge his. Enter the restaurant and talk to Rasputin, then play dice with him and win several times (until he comments he should stop playing). Talk to the Zog brother, then search the shrimp pot to get a cockroach.

Go to visit the captain and try to open the pigeon cage - the captain will place some pigeon guano in your teapot. Next go to cabin 9 and use the cannonball to break the stool, then take the boards (and the cannonball). Read the recipe for the super cockroach potion again, then head to cabin 8. Put your wine, camembert and grass into the teapot, then use the teapot on the still. Put the wooden boards in the still. Now you need water, so go and get some from the captain's cabin, then return to cabin 8 and put the water in the still. Use the still, and you will automatically collect the potion in your teapot. Use this on your cockroach to turn it green and powerful.

Head up to the front bridge and use this cockroach on Odysseus to challenge him and win. He will now give you some information that may prove useful.

Enter the captain's cabin and talk to him - he still doesn't have the rune translation. Go to cabin 4 and talk to Olaf about Odysseus, then go to cabin 3 and look at the piano, candlestick, painting and scenery (search this too). Next enter the restaurant and talk to Odysseus, Rasputin and Ophelia. Go up to the poop deck and talk to the Zog brother - you will automatically give him the bribe money. Go to the front deck and put the statuette in the cannon, then go down towards your cabin and you will automatically go to sleep.

Listen to cabin 10, then listen to cabin 2. Enter cabin 6 using your pass key and take the strange denture. Enter cabin 5 and you will find another vampirised Zog brother - the one who was supposed to be watching the cannon for you. Go up and talk to Villon, who is still in the bell. Listen to the captain's door and you will hear snoring.

Head up to the front bridge and you will automatically check the cannon and find the statuette is gone. Talk to Odysseus, who gives you a magic ring which turns you into a pig. Go downstairs and knock on the door to cabin 9, and Ophelia will let you inside. After she recides a poem about the Great Kraken, she gives you a sausage to turn you back into human form. Talk to Ophelia while you are here.

Show this to Fitzcarraldo and Rasputin, then head downstairs and talk to Villon (in the bell still) about the translation. Enter the captain's cabin and he will tell you the translation of the runes. Talk to the captain about the Zog and the Runes, and Odysseus will be thrown overboard and Villon set free. Place your minotaur in the bathtub to rehydrate it.

Return to the front bridge to see Odysseus out on the open seas. Now head down to cabin 4 and talk to Olaf, who will admit to not being a Viking.

Evening

Open the trapdoor at the end of the hallway near Vlad's room. Talk to the Neo-Botchists down beneath the trapdoor. Next enter cabin 10 and look at the empty coffin and the dead rats. Go to cabin 6 and Aboubakar offers to let you use his fetish chicken to find the Eye of the Kraken - you just need an anemone. Talk to Fitzcarraldo in cabin 2 about the anemone, and visit the Neo-Botchists beneath the trapdoor to ask them as well. Go to the storeroom and use your cockroach to move the bell outside. On the front bridge, release the large anchors, then try to move the bell but you need help. Go back down to cabin 6 and you will ask Aboubakar to help you.

Under the sea, talk to the moray eels on the left, then talk to Proustette on the right. Flatter her, and she will drop the anemone so you can catch it. You will now automatically give the anemone to Aboubakar and go to sleep.
