Cologne on the Platypus?

[JagFred]

I had to use the cheat book to discover that I needed to spray the cologne on the platypus to get the Australian to get mad and break his stick. Am I a complete idiot, or is there some way that any reasonable person would know to do this? Any help/ideas/insights would be appreciated. I just don't get it, and if I run into any un-logical other "solutions" like this, I'll snap the disk in half and never buy a LucasArts game ever.

yeah, that one was out there, after hours of frustration i had to check the walkthrough on that one too. was there a clue i missed? i dunno.

[CocoClown1587246265]

There is a clue. When you're talking to Ozzie, he talks about what he hates about pirates. The thing he stresses the most is that he hates their smell.

Actually, I didn't notice it on the first time through, but any topic that you can keep asking about, more or less is important to the game. Ozzie's detestion of Pirate smell, Dead-Eye's ability to recognize a person by his/her smell, or whatever...

 

Now if I had only noticed this *BEFORE* I resorted to the $%^)@#*$ing hint/cheat book, I'd be much happier...

all adventure games have loads of stuff in em like that. you pick up stuff, try to stick it in something else, explore, goof around.

its not just the platypus...

[spaceboy1587246253]

it's true that most adventure games have this sort of thing, but i think normally they are implemented better. i still think the platypus thing was out there. i know he hated the smell of pirates but still....it's

a stuffed platypus! ah, well. that was really my only gripe about any of the puzzles.

Yeah, if it was a stuffed Le Chuck it will make more sense, but then again, it wouldn't be necessary to use the cologne on it.

Yeah, if it was a stuffed Le Chuck it would make more sense, but then again, you won't have to use the cologne on it, because LeChuck stinks of his own
