1. Introduction
===============================================================================
This is the second in a series of eight planned adventures in the Ben Jordan:
Paranormal Investigator series. The games can be downloaded for free from the
developer's home page (http://www.grundislavgames.com/benjordan). In this game,
Ben is called to the town of Dunesberg in California by Annie, whose husband
has gone missing after he went to search the galleon. The aim is to find a way
of diving down to the galleon to save George. This is a longer, more difficult
game than the original, with some inventive puzzles that are fun to solve.

2. Walkthrough
===============================================================================
DUNESBERG
The game starts in Annie's house. Talk to Annie about her husband: She says he
went into the desert to look for the lost galleon. Ask about the lost galleon:
According to the legend, it is a Spanish galleon buried under the Salton Sea.
She says that only the old prospector in the pub and her husband George believe
in the legend. Exit the conversation. Get the bowl on the table. Use the door
to exit the house. Walk west behind the house to the outskirts of Dunesberg.
Use the old crate to get a stick of dynamite. Walk east to return to the town.
Enter the medicine man's shop. Talk to the medicine man and ask about items for
sale: He will order special items if required. Get the mortar and pestle on the
bottom shelf at the right side of the shop. Exit the shop. Walk right and enter
the grocery store. Get an ear of corn. Exit the store. Walk right and enter the
Drunken Scorpion bar. Get the box of matches at the left side of the bar. Talk
to the barman about the lost galleon: He doesn't believe in the legend. Ask
about George: He hasn't seen him in two weeks. Order a beer: The barman gives
Ben a bottle of beer. Talk to the Jebediah, the old prospector, about the lost
galleon: He wants moonshine. Ask about moonshine: He says that there is a
recipe for moonshine in town, and gives Ben his dowsing stick. Exit the bar.
Enter the coffeehouse. Talk to the employee and order a coffee. Get a packet of
sugar from the tray and then exit the coffeehouse. Enter the big house at the
left side of the town. Use the dowsing stick on the wood receptacle, then use
the matches on the wood receptacle. Use the beer on the liquid receptacle to
get a glob of malt. Use the stick of dynamite on the safe, then use the matches
on the dynamite to explode the safe. Use the safe to get a recipe for moonshine
and a packet of yeast. Look at the recipe in the inventory. Combine the ear of
corn with the mortar and pestle to make the cornmeal. Combine the cornmeal,
packet of sugar, glob of malt and packet of yeast with the bowl. Use the bowl
on the liquid receptacle to get the home-brewed moonshine. Exit the house.
Return to the bar to see that the Jebediah has left: The barman says that he
has gone to Annie's house. Exit the bar and return to Annie's house. Jebediah
tells Ben about the lost galleon, and says that he will need items from the
medicine man before making his journey to the Salton Sea. Enter the medicine
man's shop. Talk to the medicine man about the Salton Sea: He tells Ben that he
needs cactus extract. Exit the shop. Enter the coffeehouse and talk to the
employee about the banner: It advertises a coffee called Jitter Juice. Order
Jitter Juice and Ben will drink it. Exit the coffeehouse.
Enter the bar and talk to the man near the dartboard about the knife: He says
he is training for the Dunesberg knife-throwing contest. Challenge him: He will
let Ben have his knife if he can hit a bullseye. After Ben throws the knife and
hits the bullseye because of the Jitter Juice he drank earlier, the man lets
him keep the knife. Exit the bar. Walk west behind Annie's house to return to
the outskirts of Dunesberg. Use the knife on the cactus to get a chunk from it.
Return to the town and enter the big house. Use the chunk of cactus on the
liquid receptacle to get the cactus extract. Exit the big house. Enter the
medicine man's shop. Give the cactus extract to the medicine man to get an
anti-venom kit and a roll of medical tape. Exit the shop. Return to Annie's
house. The old prospector lets Ben borrow his car to travel to the Salton Sea.
SALTON SEA
Get the flower. Walk west to the next area and talk to the man about the lost
galleon: Ben mentions that map on the table. Ask about the map: He says he has
found the exact location of the lost galleon. Ask about the desert: He is
allergic to the flowers that grow around the area. Use the metal box in front
of the boat to find a damaged wetsuit. Walk west to the area with the balloon
and talk to the woman about the lost galleon: She doesn't know the exact
location. Ask about the balloon: The gas knob has broken. Ask about the oxygen
tank: She will let Ben have the tank if Ben can find a way of inflating the
balloon. Walk west to the road. Enter the souvenir shop.
Get the large snowglobe on the shelf. As Ben pays for it, the clerk gives him
a free souvenir pen as well. Talk to the clerk about the shop: He built the
shop himself. Ask about souvenirs: He mentions the free pen with any purchase.
Exit the shop and walk south to return to the balloon area. Use the knife on
the snowglobe to pry the valve off: Ben is left with the makeshift helmet and
the rusty valve. Give the valve to the woman to get the oxygen tank.
Walk east to the next area. Combine the pen with the moonshine recipe to make
the fake map. Use the flower on the man: As he sneezes, Ben will switch the
fake map with the map on the table. Walk east behind the rock to the next area.
Combine the medical tape, makeshift helmet and oxygen tank with the wetsuit to
make the home-made diving suit. Look at the map to see the exact location of
the lost galleon. Use the diving suit on the sea to dive to the lost galleon.
LOST GALLEON
Ben wakes up in a cell on the lost galleon, where he meets George, who is ill
after being on the ship for a week. Give the anti-venom kit to George and he
will recover. Ask George about the galleon: He was exploring the ship when he
blacked out and woke up in the cell. Use the bottle of moonshine on the cell
door, then use the matches on the moonshine to escape the cell. Go through the
right door in the hall to enter the wine cellar. Get a bottle of wine. Return
to the hall and go through the door on the left to enter the treasure room.
Try to get a black pearl from the pile and the ghost will appear. Talk to
George about the ghost: He mentions a spirit box. Ask about the spirit box: A
ghost can be lured into a container by something it loved in life. Ask about
the distraction: George calls the ghost over to him. While the ghost is
distracted, get a black pearl. Combine the black pearl with the mortar and
pestle, then combine the black pearl pieces with the bottle of wine to make
the spirit box. The ghost will disappear. Try to get another black pearl and
the ghost will reappear. Use the spirit box on the ghost to complete the game.
