[edit] First Visit with Sludge Vohaul

How do I overcome Sludge, stop the insurance salesmen, and win?

  • You can't.

How do I get out of the hunter's dinner plans?

  • Swinging's the key here, not too much and not too little.
  • Jump before you're eaten. Practice makes perfect.

How can I see in the cave?

How do I get past the guard?

  • Easiest way is to just sneak at the right time.
  • Next hardest needs two items: a jockstrap and a rock.
