I would assume so, even though he always looks the same, but that is not the relevant detail | ||

Is it relevant that many years have passed? since Herman did this something which affected him in a minor way? or between the two games? is Herman's age relevant? or is it specifically relevant that Herman has been marooned for several years? is getting marooned the thing that he did? | ||

Was the effect still minor at the start of the first game? the end? start of the second? end? did it become more noticeable as time passed? Did he do the something before he got marooned? or after? Is Herman's sanity relevant? | ||

Was the effect still minor at the start of the first game? now that I think about it, I guess you couldn't call the eventual effect of what he did minor, but when he did it was a minor event the end? no start of the second? no, in fact bigger end? it got even bigger did it become more noticeable as time passed? physically? no Did he do the something before he got marooned? this or after? Is Herman's sanity relevant? no | ||

Is it relevant that Herman Toothrot may have existed even before the Monkey Island games were conceived? | ||

|
Relevant that Herman Toothrot was based on the charcter Ben Gunn? | ||

Hmmm I wonder if we need a clue here or should I get my ancient 486 up and running to replay Monkey Island 1? Toothrots relevant past: Was it mentioned in Monkey Island 1? Stated by him in conversation by him? By someone else? Not stated by anyone but noted by observation? Regarding: His family/lineage/relationships? His experiences? His possessions? His personality? His education? His physique? Something else? | ||

"Well, which would you rather have?" - Okay - let's see how we do in the meantime.. | ||

Was it regarding: anything mentioned elsewhere in Monkey Island at all? One item? A boat? Something tangible? His skills? His occupation? | ||

his possessions? no-ish Was it something that isn't exactly a posession? an animal? the monkeys he trained? the parrot? | ||

Sorry, that should be yes to tangible, but it has an intangible side to it as well | ||

Something that is written down? written by Herman? read by Guybrush? | ||
| Fred Z (Dref)
|
no, hint: the detail involves a public place... | ||

Oh no! A puzzle on my all time favourite game series ans I seem to have missed it!  - Can't really remember MI1 In MI4 Herman Toothrot gets his memory back, is there a relevant detail in what he says to Guybrush when his memory returns? ARe any of the notes around the island left by Herman relevant? a calander? |
