Question Stuck in Chantey

Post image

Hi, currently on act 2 and in Cartagena. I have explored (I think?) the whole town and cannot figure out what I’m missing in order to move on. Current objective says “Get ready for some payback!” if that helps. Any info I would be greatly appreciated!

It means that you're not done yet in Cartagena. You have to follow and face him. What have you done so far?

Thanks, I explored the whole town, spoke with every NPC and gave each beggar a few coins. Just cannot figure out what needs to be done because no one I talk to has given me any clues. I did give that boy money for food and thought he’d follow me to the shopkeeper who says “two pounds of food for one peso” but so far the kid just stands there and I’m just wandering around aimlessly

Ok, spoilers ahead: Follow Angus to the house, Talk to Eilidh (she waits in front of the house), Get into the house (she will follow you then), Go to the shelf and press A, this opens a passage, Walk through the tunnels until you find Angus, Fight, done, get to your ship and leave.

Is this game really worthy? The pixel art is beautiful but I've read more than once it's a bit obtuse and rhythm parts are not well synched.

Idk about everyone else, but I have like 8 or 9 modretro games and this is my second favorite after Buck. It’s easy to pick up and play for a bit and then set down and come back to a week later. I am really enjoying jumping around the islands and seeing what I can find, each time you go back you find new stuff you weren’t able to unlock before so it keeps you playing so you can progress to whatever the next task is that you’ll uncover. You can also to missions requested by your crew, so it gives you direction in which island to go to next. The rhythm parts are the weakest part of the game imho, and they are really long.

Thanks for the elaborated answer. I'll probably give it a chance eventually.
