Otis mentions the yellow flower, but never says anything about its effects. Adding the flower to the meat is basically just a matter of trial-and-error." The subtle hint is that Otis refers to them as "caniche endormi" flowers. "It’s a bit strange that you have to carry around a heap of ever-burning business cards in your pocket to light the cannon" Interesting - I used the feather to light the cannon. I totally agree with you about the bananas. This puzzle drove me bananas back when the game was released, and my thought patterns were exactly the same as yours. i figured that 3 bananas HAD to be enough. Ditto on the fort, during my recent replay of the special edition, I forgot about it and couldn't find it. “The second problem is that there is no way to know what effect the flower has until you have solved the puzzle.
