When you arrive on Skullduggery Island, you’ll see that the fort is all destroyed. Let’s go see what’s up!

Fort Ridley

Go right till you arrive at this small hill, then click to go right. Talk to the girl and she’ll say she wants someone to fetch her coin. Go under the hill and click go left. When you get there, pick up the Doubloon (a type of coin that pirates use).

sk dubloon

Go to the shop and press “Use” on the doubloon to get a Bag of Feed for chickens. Then head right until you see this shelf with a Broken Mirror on top. Click on it and she’ll say you can have it for free.

skullduggery mirror

Exit, then go left until you see this guy with chickens. Press “Use” on the Feed and he’ll reward you with a Chicken.

Then go right and up the hill and go even more right till you see a guy with bugs destroying his crops. Click “Use” on the Chicken and he’ll reward you with a Blue Candle.

Head further right till you see a bunch of rocks. Jump on the rocks till you reach the top and go right to find the mansion. Go inside the mansion and head right to talk to the governor. He’ll give you a message that has some part that will only be able to be read under the blue candle.

Click “Use” on the blue candle and he’ll show you the rest of the message.

Now, exit and go back to the first part of Fort Ridley. You’ll see a building with a soldier holding a musket. Climb up the building to find the telescope.

Press “Use” on the broken mirror and you’ll have to keep looking through the telescope until you see a small raft.  (Hint – Scroll the telescope all the way left.)

Press the mirror icon in the bottom left corner when you see the raft and you’ll shine a signal. Then he’ll respond back and a message will say he’s approaching. He comes back and he gives you his raft.

There are only two other guys on it for now, but don’t worry, you can expand your crew later. Right now, though, let’s find the map pieces!

Bouffant Bay

To find the Map piece here, you talk to this one guy who says it’s on 312 Hanging Fern Way. Go right till you find hanging ferns. Remember… 3-1-2 is the order you need to hit.

  1. 3rd fern
  2. 1st fern
  3. 2nd fern
sk ferns

When you hit them in this order, a map piece will fall. Grab it. You will need to assemble the rest of your Skullduggery Archipelago Map by finding all the map pieces on various islands in this archipelago.

Parrot Port

To find this Map piece, you need to talk to the parrot. He’ll tell you to jump in the sea and then come find him.

sk parrot

Jump in the ocean and then go on top of the second building (not including the tower). He will be on this window. Then he’ll tell you to clog the vent and see where he went. Go to the building to the right with the vent. Stand on it to clog it, and then go right and jump in the last palm tree where the bird is in.

tumblr_inline_msmpz5SCmg1qz4rgp

Then he’ll tell you to go to the tower, and you’ll find a friend. There will be a pirate and he’ll award you the map piece if you bring back the parrot. To find the parrot, you need a Cracker, which is in the top left corner of the pub (location indicated by the red outlined square in this picture):

sk cracker

When you’re outside, press “Use” on the cracker and the parrot will fly to you. Then click on the pirate and he’ll give you the Map piece.

Golden Harbor

To get this Map piece, you need to light the lamps in a specific order: the first, second, and fourth.

Count the lamps and then do this. Light the fourth lamp first, which is right next to the gate. Then light up second lamp, which is on the first building. Next, light the first lamp, which is the first lamp you saw when you came.

tumblr_inline_msmqzc1OZz1qz4rgp

If you light them up in this order, the map piece will come out of the gate next to the fourth lamp.

Pirate Outpost

To get this one, you need to go to the very top of the place. Jump on the post and pick up the Cannon Starter Kit at the top near the cannonry, just under the Jolly Roger flag.

sk cannon kit

You will also need to find an explosive barrel somewhere in the middle of the place. Push the explosive all the way down under the golden tooth of the skull. Click on the cannon a little left of the big skull.

When it hits the explosive, the gold tooth will fall out and then there will be a map piece sticking out.

Dragon Cove

In the water, step on the first dragon head. You will get the Mallet.

tumblr_inline_msmnylvBaN1qz4rgp

Bang the gong with the mallet. Then move the man with the fishing pole to where the fish jump. When he catches a fish, he will give you a map piece.

tumblr_inline_msmo64ccRo1qz4rgp

Ships

You can also upgrade your ship by visiting the merchant at “Ship Shape” in Dragon Cove. It’s recommended that you upgrade to the next best ship as soon as you have enough doubloons, because it will hold more cargo and move faster.

You will also receive a discount from the sticker price of the next ship depending on how strong your previous ship was. Once you buy a new ship, your previous one will be gone.

 Image Ship Name Price Cargo
sk raft Raft (default) — 20
sk jimmy rigger Jimmy Rigger 3,000 60
sk carabelle Carabelle 9,000 200
sk sea sultan Sea Sultan 30,000 600
sk the koi The Koi 90,000 1,800
sk steaming fury Steaming Fury 300,000 5,000
sk phoenix warbird Phoenix Warbird 1,000,000 6,000

Although people have reported being able to defeat Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird, it is still recommended that you get it because it will make your final battle with him much easier than if you were using a weaker ship.

Skullduggery Island

You will need to gather doubloons (1 million or a little less) to buy the Phoenix Warbird at Dragon Cove. Again, it’s recommended that you upgrade to the next best ship as soon as you have enough doubloons, because it will hold more cargo and move faster. Note that you will need patience, as it will take quite a while to gather all those doubloons.

You will also need doubloons to assemble your crew. It’s best to buy all four crew mates (you can find people asking prices to be hired on every island except Golden Harbor) to beat the many enemies that will come. Here’s the list of all the crew mates:

  • Cabin Boy (default)
  • Cook (default)
  • Cargo Master (found at Bouffant Bay) – gives extra cargo space depending on your current ship model; costs 15,000 doubloons
  • Navigator (found at Parrot Port) – increases ship speed; costs 12,000 doubloons
  • Cannoneer (found at Pirate Outpost) – loads cannons quicker; costs 20,000 doubloons
  • Shipwright (found at Dragon Cove) – repairs ship without docking; costs 20,000 doubloons

The Cargo Master will be of use early on, but for the other crew members, it’s up to you whether you want to get them now or at the end.

Tips for Making Lots of Doubloons Easily

The best way to gain a lot of doubloons is to go from island to island in a clockwise direction, buying as much of the cheapest item as you can, then selling it all on the next island where it becomes most expensive and buying max of the cheapest again. Also, remember to collect salvages from the waters. If some other ship begins shooting at you, it’s best to run away rather than get beat.

Buying & Selling: What & Where

  • Parrot Port – Buy: Grain, Sell: Medicine
  • Pirate Outpost – Buy: Spice, Sell: Grain
  • Dragon Cove – Buy: Silk, Sell: Spice
  • Bouffant Bay – Buy: Medicine, Sell: Silk

Other Doubloon Tips

  • Sell your salvages at the next island you dock at to clear more space for the suggested item you need to buy. Buy the max amount you can because you will profit at your next stop.
  • Don’t stop to buy/sell anything at Golden Harbor; it’s not as profitable.
  • When you go to the Pirate Outpost to sell the grain, steer your ship carefully and near Fort Ridley, in case you have to dock, because that area is filled with pirates. Try to avoid Skullduggery Island as well, since there are more dangers in that area, and only go there when it’s time.
  • If you don’t mind risking your ship’s health, you can attack the sea monsters and other ships to earn extra doubloons and cargo when you defeat them. Otherwise, avoid them.
  • You can get a loan at the Golden Harbor bank if you’re in a hurry for some doubloons, but keep in mind that you can’t take out any more loans until you’ve paid it back. Also, you won’t be allowed to buy a new ship if you don’t pay your loans, so be wise if you decide to take any out.

Battling the Boss

After you have assembled your crew and purchased the Phoenix Warbird from Dragon Cove, go to Skullduggery Island, which will show up when you have gotten all five map pieces.

Captain Crawfish’s ship will appear near Skullduggery Island. Keep trying to hit it with your cannons and don’t let him get out of your sight because he will keep healing.

If he only has a little health left and you have a lot, run your ship into his. It drains health from you and him very quickly, so only do this when he has a tiny bit of health and you have a lot. He will die quickly.

Once you defeat him, go back to the Governor in Fort Ridley and talk to him. He’ll give you a Map to the Treasure and a Bone Shovel.

Taking the Treasure

When you return to Skullduggery Island, walk six paces east (right) of the flag you see. Use your bone shovel to dig up the treasure, and Captain Crawfish will appear once again…

…but his ship falls apart because of your crew. When you leave, you’ll be awarded the Island Medallion plus credits to spend in the Poptropica Store. Congrats! You’re a true hero! You’ve rid Skullduggery Island of all forms of… er… skullduggery. 🏴‍☠️

Trivia

  • Skullduggery Island is Poptropica’s 13th island. It was released on May 20, 2010 for members and June 17, 2010 for non-members.
  • Despite the name Skullduggery Island, it is really made up of several islands – Fort Ridley, Dragon Cove, Bouffant Bay, Parrot Port, Golden Harbor, Pirate Outpost, and then the actual Skullduggery Island at the end.
  • The word “skullduggery” (sometimes spelled skulduggery) means “trickery” and may have been chosen because of the iconic skull-and-crossbones of a pirate ship’s Jolly Roger flag.
  • Common room: The Broken Barrel
  • There are many white clouds over the Skullduggery seas, and some of them have interesting shapes, such as a heart, skull-and-crossbones, smiley, fish, whale, bone, etc.
  • Former PHB author Coderkid discovered from Poptropica’s code that this island would have originally been called Pirate Trade Island. A framework file in Poptropica that shows the islands’ code names does refer to Skullduggery as “Trade.”
  • The ship’s names are, in order: raft, Jimmy Rigger, Carabelle, Sea Sultan, The Koi, Steaming Fury, Phoenix Warbird.
  • Some people have reported being able to defeat Captain Crawfish without the Phoenix Warbird (although the Warbird is recommended). However, in the cutscene, your ship will display as the Warbird.
  • Before the island was released, starting May 3, 2010, members received two exclusive items: The Skullduggery Teaser Trailer and a Skullduggery Pirate costume.
  • An official book for Skullduggery Island was released on November 8, 2012. The first two chapters could previously be read for free on Funbrain. At the end of the preview, you’d get a promo code for the Skull Pirate costume (the code is SkullBook). The code no longer works.

we are the pirates who don’t do anything

833 thoughts on “Skullduggery Island Guide”

  1. hey guys just a tip:
    1. whenever you have the money buy a new ship-shape upgrade

    WHY:
    1.you’ll get a discount on your next upgrade which means a discount on the Phoenix Warbird

    2. each upgrade has more cargo space which means you get to trade more which means more money faster

    and…. to get even more cargo on your ship hire the “cargo master” who is in the ware house (on second floor) on the island with the hanging ferns.

    PS: He costs 15K doubloons

  2. Weird… I tried defeating captain crawfish with the steaming fury and he immediately got half his health back when he should have died. What the heck? I’ve defeated him before using the warbird, but why can’t I defeat him with other ships even though I have the skill?

    Hijuyo: Other ships are weaker, so it is much easier to defeat Captain Crawfish with the Phoenix Warbird.

    1. The designers made it so that CC gets health back.

      I know programming.

      They probably just typed in



      if (CCsShip.Health < 0 && player.ship.level < 6) {CCsShip.Health = 50%}
      ….

      The CCsShip.Health represents the health of CC’s ship.
      The player.ship.level represents the player’s ship’s level.
      The 50% meant the health CC’s ship gets.

      I am not lying.

      But am I talking too much?

      Note: I am Shifty Cruch a.k.a. Roary

  3. Bouffant Bay

    To find the Map piece here, you talk to this one guy who says it’s on 312 Hanging Fern Way. You go right till you find hanging ferns. Remember… 3-1-2 which is in the order of which you hit.

    1. 3rd fern
    2. 1st fern
    3. 2nd fern


    Where do we go?
    This part confuses me..

    Hijuyo: At Bouffant Bay, walk right until you see some ferns hanging on a house somewhere. You then jump up to touch those ferns in the order 3-1-2.

  4. I got money faster by just looking around for salvages, not buying anything, and then selling it all. Then I bought the cheapest boat, which holds so much more stuff and is faster and nicer, and then got more money, bought the next boat up, and so on and so on until I had enough money to buy the warship! It is so much faster!

    1. it also works if you go around in a counter clockwise direction buying the cheapest good, then going to the next island it will be the most expensive. it is much faster then that, i used to use your method untill i found out about this one. cha-ching!$$:)

  5. this is an awesome guide but to get the most help go through all the comments. they rlly help!! (its also a good idea to take notes like i did 🙂 )

      1. Also, I would’ve had the warbird if my sis(Red Lizard _ThisWeird4) would have not bought the SteamShip

  6. 😦 my game wouldnt load so i had to reload it and b4 i had like 6000 doubloons now i have 300 😡 grr i m maddddd

  7. i was sailing to golden harbor when i saw clouds shaped like a 🙂 !! and b4 i even saw 1 tht looked like a heart. all the clouds should be shaped ; it would be cute

  8. It is so easy – because I used cheat engine. All I need to do now is to fight the pirates on skulldugery island!

    Hijuyo: Whatever Cheat Engine is, it sounds wrong and you probably shouldn’t have used it to play. It doesn’t seem fair.

  9. Well, I didn’t want to spoil this, but probably the best way to make money is:
    1. Sell everything you have at the begining (Follow step 2)
    2. Now that you’re empty, start buying everything to fill the ship:
    a. Parrot Port= Buy: Grain. Sell: Medicine
    b. Pirate Outpost= Buy: Spice. Sell: Grain
    c. Dragon Cove= Buy: Silk. Sell: Spice
    d. Bouffant Bay= Buy: Medicine. Sell: Silk
    3. When you go to Pirate Outpost to sell the Grain, drive CAREFULLY and near Fort Riddley, in case you have to dock, because that area is filled with pirates.

    Ahoy n’ Avast
    Icy Sun

  10. Some advice – once you’ve bought the Pheonix Warbird, you shouldn’t worry about getting blacklisted from the Golden Harbor bank. You probably won’t need another loan anyway.

  11. Tip 1: When in war with Captain Crawfish, keep circling around the island and Captain Crawfish will have to turn around and he won’t be ready so you can attack him with cannons.
    Tip 2: I recommend getting the crew first because they will help you a lot and then after you have gotten the crew, get the ships.
    Tip 3: Also, I agree with the walkthrough, buy the cheapest thing to the max on an island and go to the next island in clockwise and sell that cargo to max and buy the cheapest thing on that island and go to the next island etc.

    Hope I helped!

  12. well that gets me far! thanks! ps to the peeps who cant earn doubloons easily,(i can) just wander around the sea a lot while avoiding monsters and cap. crawfish and you will get lots of stuff and money . and all the stuff u dont need, go to the trading post and get doubloons 4 it!

  13. Hey, I know a faster way to get the Phoenix Warbird. Ok here is how. You can buy the Carabelle Ship or the Sea Sultan ship to gain a lot of cargo from the ocean. When you have 300 out of 300 or 600 out of 600 cargo, you can sell the cargo from a different island. It gets you alot of doubloons. Thats a tip. I didn’t completed the island though. I was just giving you a tip. I got all four people from the islands though. Now I need to make 1 million doubloons to get the Warship. Good luck Everyone! Prickly Dolphin out!

  14. I was stuck in this island 4 sometime because Zey. shomi didnt write anything about the cannon starter kit in Pirate Place. I had to go to wiki-answers for that bit. I suggest he edits it or something…

    Hijuyo: Actually, he did put it in the guide. You could have saved yourself the extra searching if you’d actually read what was on Zey’s guide.

  15. At the end, I had like, $998,588 on Skullduggery isand. I went to Golden Harbor and got a loan: $20,999 is how muc I loaned. Then I had $1,000,000 something. I bought the Phoenix Warbird and beat the island. Now, I still need to pay back the loan. Do I have to pay back the loan? This is bugging me sooo much.

    Hijuyo: It’s probably a good idea to pay back the loan, now that you’ve finished the island anyway.

    1. Hey I know another tip. To get so much doubloons for the warship, you can attack ships by getting them to follow you and make sure they get by rocks lots of time. Then, collect their cargo. You will get
      60 out of 60, 90 out of 90, 300 out of 300, 600 out of 600, or 900 out of 900. I attacked a octupus once and I gained alot of cargo and sold it at an island. Remember, do not restart the island when you have completed it. Here is another tip. Get a loan from the Golden Harbor Bank and grab some more doubloons. I am so closer to getting 200 thousand doubloons. Yay me!

  16. HEYYYYY GUYS!!! THE GOLDEN HARBOR BANK GAVE ME LIKE BIG LOAN UP TO 300 THOUSAND!!!! I LOVE THE BANK!!! HEY TRY THAT GUYS TYPE IN THE LOAN LIMIT AND IT WILL GIVE YOU THE LOAN!!!! I AM SO CLOSE!!!!YAY!!!!!!!

    1. Hey thanks alot Prickly Dolphin. You are very helpful. Thanks for the tips. You are very smart. Hmm, sometime today you will complete the island. EVEN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone will love to test your tips. By the way, defeating Captain Crawfish could be hard because he could keep healing. KEEP TRYING GUYS YOU WILL GET IT!!!

  17. Attention Everybody, it will not take forever once you keep working. Here are some more tips. Tip: get your crew first before getting the warship. Thats what I did. Tip: save so many doubloons. Tip: sell all your cargo when you have a lot for doublons. Tip: do not restart the island because then you will have to do all the work again. Tip: Visit the Golden Harbor for a loan limit. When you see the loan limit, type in the loan limit and the bank will give you. Remember, you get to keep it for 20 days. Pay back your loan if you need a new loan. Tip: remember, if you log out without saving, you will lose some doubloons. Remember to save the game when you are done. Tip: buy some cheaper ships to help you collect so much cargo. Those are some tips. Hope I helped. Good luck Everyone! Prickly Dolphin out!

  18. Whoa, thats alot of tips for getting a lot of doubloons. Thanks Prickly Dolphin. I don’t believe it! A lot of us are going to get the island completed. Prickly Dolphin, thanks again. I will try it. Thanks again Pricly Dolphin. Good luck Everyone! Hazy Girl, Out!

  19. Hey guys, here is another tip. Attacks ships that have low life or attack any crabs, octupuses, or pufferfish to get so much doubloons. Today I am going to be able to finish the island if I can defeat Captain Crawfish with the warboat. Be careful when you attack ships. They could make you lose your doubloons. I wish you good luck guys.

  20. GUYS GUYS HEY GUYS!!!! MY LOAN WAS PAST DUE SO I WENT TO RETURN IT AND GOT A NEW LOAN AND I CHOSE THE LOAN LIMIT AND GUESS WHAT???? I GOT A MILLION DOUBLOONS!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! FINALLY!!!!! NOW I GET TO BUY THE WARSHIP AND DEFEAT CAPTAIN CRAWFISH!!!!! WISH ME GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!!!

  21. Hooray!!!! i completed the island!!!! Phew! That was a close one! Now how did Captain Crawfish knew my name Lazy Fish? Thats ok. He is now gone. Well that means I completed all the islands. Early Poptropica through Shrink Ray Island is what I completed!!! Hooray!!!!!

  22. awesome! it really helped a lot! now all i have to do is earn dubloons 😦 not fun but thanx 4 the tips!

  23. awesome! it really helped a lot! now all i have to do is earn dubloons 😦 not fun but thanx 4 the tips!

  24. I finished this island in about 3 hours, not counting the breaks and meals I took…weird, I tought this island easy. Didn’t use the guide much, but it’s well written 🙂 Actually I enjoyed earning Doubloons…and I hated to be in debt, so I never loaned from the bank…

    P.S. I bought ships first and a couple of crew after that, then concentrated on buying more ships.

  25. i had the wierdest glitch! when i was docked in bouffant bay when i went to set out in my the phoenix warbird it went right through the island while it was surrounded by storm clouds!! wierd 🙂

  26. It’s not challenging to get the 1 million, but the boss is SUPER HARD. I could actually beat the boss if he couldn’t heal himself.

  27. OMG! i absolutely CANNOT that’s right CANNOT get 1000000 dubloons. i got all the pieces and i went to visit skulldugerry island and when i left all the ships went after me and because i never upgraded (due to dubloon issues) i never got cannons and so i died heaps quick and again and again and each time i lose more and more dubloons, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
    😥

    1. Tip: Save your game before you leave an island. That way, if you sink and lose cargo or doubloons, you can just close Poptropica, and go back onto it from the point you saved your game!

  28. How can you say things when you’re on the sea because when i’m on the ship attacking ships say things but i can’t figure out how to say things back!

  29. Q:how can you destroy boats with a raft?

    A:First,drag them towards you when you see sea rocks.Last,When they hit it and can not move,your work is done!:D

  30. The easiest way to win is to collect as much salvage as possible, (I find the most salvage around rocks, and in the top corner by D. Cove) and go around and sell the max. amount of stuff that is highest priced. I don’t worry about buying, and remember, Never get a loan!!!!

      1. exacacly he had to hit there is no possible way he could not hit u
        😀 🙂 [[1234567890]] :|] :

  31. this island was hard it took me 2 days usaly i bet 5 islands in 2 days thanks 4 writing this walkthrough for every island this the best website i ever descovered 😀 i love this website it is awesome

  32. Immediatly, I had two goals: trade up for a new ship, and get the map pieces. After I unlocked Skulldugery, I tried to make a pass from Golden Harbor to Pirate Outpost. Well, I passed a tad to close to skulldugery (make that, SOUTH of Skulldugery, not even the route) and I ended up getting destroyed by Crawfish. The worst post, I was at ship #2 (you have the original ship, that at the Dragon Cove, the cheapest ship), the Jimmy Rigger. I tried to deal with him with my one cannon, but I got to close to him, and sunk.

  33. I’ve clocked in about 3 1/2 hours into Skullduggery and I’m at the Koi, the second largest ship (the Steamboat is small but powerful)

  34. oh my gosh thank you soooo much!!! (i still haven’t finished it) but I have three other accounts and I had NO idea how to clock this island!! THANK YOU!

  35. I need a trading guide, it’ll be really useful, i have some of it…
    Dragon cove:Sell spice, buy silk
    Pirate place:Sell grain, buy spice
    i need the rest! i’ll be really helpful to me

    Hijuyo: I believe there’s one in the comments on this page.

  36. An easier way to beat Captain Crawfish is to anchor yourself. He will and run into you, draining both your and his health, but his more, and then you just fire as many cannonballs as possible onto his ship. He will be stationary the whole time and it’s really quick. (;

    1. I tried what you did and at first it did not work but when i was dieing i noticed how much his power went down so im gona try your tactick again and win THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. I have the guide book!To collect doubloons quicker with out stopping(unless your ship got damaged).Start at golden harbor and go from there to pirate place and counter clockwise.If you collected all the stuff in the water,then go to a island and do it again!

  38. man i tried and i tried im not looking for 50 paragraphs [but thanks for the help] i just whish ther was a way to skip the battle………is ther?? some one please answer!!!!!

  39. if you want to make big money buy silk at dragon cove and sell at bouffete bay.
    then buy medicine at bouffete bay and sell it at dragon cove .
    and repeat, and repeat, and repeat

    1. Actually, I did. You signed your comment as “Icy Sun” and you’re mentioned in the credits. I’ve changed it now to your other comment name (Vicyorus) in case that was what you wanted.

  40. Hiaku

    You are in danger
    You need to defeat Crawfish
    Can you still win now?

    Thanx 4 the walkthrough it dont bother trying 🙂
    I went 2 dragon cove and the women at the trading post’s clothes hadnt loaded so she was wearing a singlet and shorts.

  41. hey umm i just beat C.C. and im at skullduggery island, but i dont have the shovel… where do you get it? Please help! 😦

    1. You need to go back to Fort Ridley and talk to the Governor for the shovel. For more details, read the section of the guide titled “The End is Near.”

  42. I have never completed this island, or steamworks, so I decided to just get it over with already haha
    Im on my real day 2 in the game Im on day 50 something, I have just over 300,000 dabloons!! :DD Almost half of a half way there you guys!!

  43. My trick for doubloons is I roam above of Dragon Cove and a pufferfish,crab or octopus start attacking me and I go near a whirlpool and they go in there.While their stuck I shoot them and they die,Guess what?They give out lots of doubloons!The pufferfish has the most!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

    Bye,N

  44. Here are some tips for my 1st trick:The octopus can get out of the whirlpool sometimes so watch out.Tip 2:If you go near Pirate Outpost be careful because there are alot of pirate ships.Tip 3:Don’t kill sea monsters until you have the Carabelle,Sea Sultan or Koi.Last Tip:Watch out for stormclouds if you dock at Bouffant Bay.

    Bye,N<3

  45. Well. That took me last night up to this morning ( I slept in between of course, xD). Thanks for the guide, I never would’ve done it without it.

  46. I got stuck in a big huge rock and I can’t get out 😦 please help me!!!I got stuck all the way to the right on Fort Ridley please help!

  47. If I click restart will I have to do re-do the whole island again?
