there's a faster way, a way for you to just drop it dude.
Thanks, man. @Telltale: how does Guybrush know he'll be accurate enough? He'd only have had one shot at it. I have a feeling it won't only be me that overlooks this solution.

This one stumped me for a while. It is one of two things in the game I found annoying. The other one involved how much I had to distract two pirates -- that part was so hard I was certain I was doing it wrong.

I loved that Part.
First i thought i had to keep it warm somehow, move the template or the grill or make a totally independent template out of wet sand or something.
Then I realized that i could walk for exactly 4 screen changes until it got cold. Looking for a shorter route i even thought about the "Path of the Mouth" for a while, until i realized how to solve it.
That's the kind of puzzle i like. Not too obvious and still making sense.
About "only one shot". If he had missed he could have molten it again, except if it landed somewhere out of reach of course.
I thought it was rather pointless that you had to toss it off the cliff, kind of an illogical solution, too.
Pretty monkey islandish. After two times not making it till the turtle altar, I went on the cliff, looked down, Guybrush said that he sees the turtle and it snapped in my head - THAT'S IT!
It shouldn't matter how many 'screens' it takes; if the pyrite is hard by the time you reach the cliff base, it should be hard by the time you reach the peak.
Not to mention that if you drop the almost-cooled pyrite over the cliff, the wind should finish it off before it lands.
And if it did manage to land as a liquid, it should have splashed out, and left lots of little blobs of the stuff lying around the altar.
Don't get me started on the melting point of the stuff. (It's 1193°C (2179°F), FYI. I tried to work out how long it would take to cool, and how hot the barbecue would need to be for it to work, but it's unclear how long it would take Guybrush to get to the cli-AAAAGH STOP ME. I'M THINKING ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.)
It's unrealistic, but not illogical. And yes, it can take less time to get up the cliff than all around it. just like it takes less time to cross a bridge than go all around a lake, even if you end up at the same spot in the end.

I actually did what you were supposed to do there, then I got caught. So I abandoned that trail of thought until I desperately needed help with it. Maybe I had to get them to
stare at each other first
. I dunno.
Besides, they missed out the last 'r' in 'treasure' in Guybrush's written dialog, I think. Then 'burry' haha.

Well, those poxed pirates won't give up until they get what they want.
I have that
Edit: many thanks for your help!
tahht means u have to find a faster way.
Neither. You have to find a shorter route.
But using the Jungle Entrance as a shortcut doesn't work (just tried it)

Thanks for your help too. Hopefully others will find this useful.

I don't find it illogical, since I figured it out right away :P (Maybe my reasonning is illogical too, of course).
