Poptropica - Skullduggery Island FAQ

Walkthrough:
------------
When you arrive by balloon, youll be in Fort Ridley, which is where the first part of
Skullduggery Island takes place. In the Fort Ridley part of the mission, you need to
assist the villagers whove been regularly assaulted by Captain Crawfish, a dreadful and
notorious pirate. After you finish this part, you will get your very first sailing ship
and can discover a few more islands.

Travel down Main Street to the right and cross the covered bridge. On the far side, climb
down into the stream and go left to get the Doubloon from the sand.

Return over the bridge to the Main Street area and then go inside the General Store where
youll find a woman inside. Click on the doubloon in your backpack and use it to buy a bag
of chicken feed. Over the the right of the store, youll spot a bunch of shelves. On the
top is a broken mirror and youll need to jump up and get it.

Give the feed to the boy with the chickens. Hell be so delighted that he can feed his
chickens now that he will give you one of them as thanks for the feed.

Now go over the bridge to the right and youll arrive at a corn field with a farmer
outside. Hell say that the pests are eating all the corn and he cant feed his family. Find
the chicken in your backpack and use it. The chicken will start to eat the bugs that are
attacking the corn and the farmer will give you a blue candle as a present.

Go up the hill and run past the house on the top and go back down to the ocean below.
Youll see a woman there. Talk to her and she will tell you about her husband who has been
lost at sea.

Next go back up the hill and enter the Governors house. There are two men over by the
fireplace on the right. Speak to them and use the blue candle from your backpack to make
the invisible parts of the document appear. The guy on the left tells you to find the map
pieces and chase away Captain Crawfish. He says hell give you the final key to uncover the
treasure once you do that.

Now leave the mansion and run all the way to the left to where the fort tower is. Go up to
the top and use the telescope up there. Move it around until you see a small raft on the
horizon. Click on the broken mirror in the lower-left corner to send a signal to the raft
and it will come to the dock.

A man will walk out onto the pier to meet you. He is the husband of the woman you talked
to near the ocean. He offers up his broken-down ship to you and wishes you luck on your
adventure.

Embark on your ship and sail to the small island in the upper-left corner of the map. As
you move from place to place in your boat, try to stay far away from sea creatures, pirate
ships, and thunder clouds because they will all damage your ship. If you see salvage
floating in the water, try to get it for extra doubloons and goods.

Youll soon arrive at Dragon Cove. Click on the dock and disembark. To find the map piece,
go to the waters edge and stand on the sunken statue to reveal a Mallet. Push the crate
with the fisherman sitting on top of it to the right as far as it will go and then use the
mallet you just found while you stand next to the gong. The sound of the gong will make
the fish jump out of the water and onto the fishermans hook. He will give you a piece of
the map which he found in the fishs mouth. You cannot immediately afford a new ship, or
the services of the Shipwright, who can repair damage while underway. New ships and the
crewmembers are pretty expensive and youll need to do a lot of trading between the islands
before you can start upgrading. Go up to the trading post and sell any spice you have and
buy silk.

Sail to Bouffant Bay, to the right, again avoiding pirates and creatures but picking up
salvage from the water.

The guy here when you arrive on the boat dock will give you a small hint concerning the
hidden map piece on this island. Walk a bit over to the right and go to the Trading Post,
where you will want to sell whatever silk you have. This trading post sells Medicine at a
very cheap price so buy as much as you can while you are here. And the next thing to do
here is to find the hidden map piece. First, walk over to the right and youll arrive at a
house with hanging baskets of ferns outside. Jump up and touch the one on the right, then
the one on the left, and finally the one in the middle. Once that is done, youll find the
hidden map piece. One of the buildings here, called Willards Warhouse, holds the Cargo
Master and having him on board your ship means you can carry fifty percent more cargo. You
probably cant afford to hire him right now. Dont forget to make sure you bought the
Medicine cargo from the trading post because youll want to sell it at the next port.

Sail to Parrot Port, directly below. Sell your salvage and cargo, but there is no cargo to
cheaply purchase here. In Peteys Pirate Pub is the Navigator, who can increase your
sailing speed if you hire her. At upper left is a Cracker. Leave the pub and go back to
the Trading Post, where youll see a parrot. It will tell you to dunk yourself in the sea
and come back to find it. Go back to your boat and swim in the ocean, then find the parrot
on the window sill of one of the buildings above the Trading Post. The parrot will tell
you to clog the vent and hes talking about a chimney on top of one of the other buildings
over to the right. Go stand on that chimney to stop the smoke from coming out. You can
find the parrot in the palm tree over to the right. He tells you to go to the old tower
and find a pirate that he knows. Go to him, then locate the parrot atop the buildings you
may have to dunk yourself and do the chimney again. Use the cracker to lure him back to
the tower, where the pirate gives you the map piece.

The next stop is Golden Harbor, which is the island in the lower-right corner of the map.
Its surrounded by treacherous rocks so be careful when you go and pick up any salvage you
can along the way. When you go inside the bank, you can borrow doubloons which let you buy
more cargo for trading and earn money quickly. You can obtain a loan of doubloons from the
back that costs 5% interest each day days go by each time you sail to a new port and you
have to repay the loan within 20 days. Theres also a hidden map piece in Golden Harbor and
you get it by turning on three of the street lanterns in a specific pattern. The correct
order to light the lanterns is to get the fifth one first, then the third one, then the
fourth and followed by the second and first. The map piece will then fall down from the
archway. Once you have the map piece, go to the trading post and buy up as much grain as
you can fit in your cargo hold.

Now, get back in your ship and sail West until you arrive at the Pirate Outpost. Sell your
grain and buy Spice, which is cheap here. Go all the way up to the top of the island and
youll find a small building with a sign that says Corsair Cannonry. In the cannon shack is
the Cannoneer, who you may wish to hire later. At the top of the mast is a cannon starter
kit fuses, which will fire any of the four cannons on the outpost. Now go down to the left
and youll see a barrel with a sign that says, Danger  Explosive. Push this barrel off the
platform and let it drop all the way down to the water below you. Leap off the platform
and land next to the barrel in the water below. Push the barrel to the right and place it
directly underneath the gold tooth in the big skull statue. Go back to the cannon that was
near where the barrel fell from the platform and click on it to fire. The cannonball will
hit the barrel of explosives, which will blow up. The explosion will shake the gold tooth
and the hidden map piece will fall out.

The Repeating Trading Route

Next, start following a repeating trade route by returning to Dragon Cove to sell your
spice. Now you have established a clockwise route of trade that will help you to build
your wealth over time and buy larger ships and more cargo, and eventually hire some or all
of the four helpful skilled crewmen. Follow this route for the most efficient way to build
doubloons:

Dragon Cove
Bouffant Bay
Parrot Port
Golden Harbor
Pirate Outpost

Fighting pirate ships in Skullduggery Island

Taking on Captain Crawfish

When you have the biggest and most powerful kind of boat, the Phoenix Warbird, and the
skilled Cannoneer, you are more than a match for any ship, even Captain Crawfish. When
youre ready to fight Captain Crawfish, sail down to Skullduggery Island in the lower left
section of the map and hell turn up for battle. When he is defeated, return to the
Governors house at Fort Ridley. The governor gives you a bone shovel, which you need to
dig up treasure, and he shows you exactly where to find it on Skullduggery Island.

Sail down to Skullduggery Island and dock there. Walk six paces to the right of the flag
and use the bone shovel to dig in that spot. Once you have dug uo the treasure, Captain
Crawfish re-appears with his crew, including the Governors aide who turns out to be
working with Crawfish!

Theres no fight here, however. Your trusty crew arrives on your ship and defeats Captain
Crawfish and his band of pirates. You return to Fort Ridley with the treasure and the
Governor gives you the Island Medallion as a reward.

Congratulations! Youve finally finished and beaten Skullduggery Island on Poptropica.
