Yap, you can go here and collect your rewards even if you guess wrongly. This is what I got.

While I was away on a week holiday, the final chapter was released and it was revealed who pushed Hoban off the ship.

Go here and find out. So did you guess correctly? My guess was wrong. Sob..sob...

Shenkuu


High in the mountains North of Altador is the mystical city of Shenkuu. Unknown to Neopians for centuries, it was revealed to the world by the crew of the Cyodrake's Gaze after a terrible mishap at sea. Its citizens were cautious at first, but have since welcomed visitors from all over Neopia with open arms... as long as they have their wallets. They are a merchant town, after all.



This world comes about from the Cyodrake Gaze's Plot. Now that the mystery is solved, Captain's Tuan and his crew are back at Shenkuu.

This World was introduced afte the Cyodrake Plot. Very creatively done.

The Cyodrake's Gaze

It appears our wayward seafarers have returned to Mystery Island. Before you even venture on deck, you can see Captain Tuan is not happy.

Though they're lost, they've made it back to Mystery Island safely. Without their Navigator, however, they may be stuck here.


"We're running out of time... and patience. I've been going over the statements from various crew members and, though I can't quite put my finger on it, the pieces don't fit. I'm now quite convinced that someone on my vessel knows more than they are letting on. I'm not sure who, but with your help, we can figure this out. We must find Hoban... for his sake and for ours."

Not that he wasn't before, but Captain Tuan is quite serious now. He suspects this was no accident, and that's quite unsettling.

"I believe we've only Anshu left to question. He is the physician on board, which makes me hesitant to believe he had any involvement in this, but I'm not ruling anyone out just yet. Please, speak with him and see what you make of it."

You nod your head to Captain Tuan in agreement as First Mate Shumi pulls a small object from his pocket. He hands it to the Captain and the Captain addresses you once more before you leave.

"Ah, yes. I wanted to give you something. This is a key to Hoban's map room. It would appear he went over with most of his precious maps in his possession since there is little left in the room itself. I've been going through the maps hoping for a clue, but I've had no luck. There may be something I've overlooked. Please, feel free to see what you can find. He is quite obessed with those maps of his, but I'm sure he'd prefer a rescue and a disorganized map room than losing his life while lost at sea."

This time you have to speak to Anshu and Visit Hoban's Map Room.







Update: Aug 31, 2006 at 8pm

Go and speak to Captain Tuan and you will have the option to spill the bean.

You've spoken with everyone, so you return to the Captain, who is still on the bow.

"That's it, then. Everyone is questioned, thanks to you, but we're still no closer to finding Hoban. Our only course of action is to settle here in Mystery Island, our original destination. Perhaps one day he will return here and we can... well, I won't get my hopes up. I cannot speak for the crew, but I am grateful for all the help you've given, despite the outcome. I have no qualms about living here on Mystery Island knowing the average Neopian would help even a stranger in need."

It seems he's finally given up, but not for lack of trying. He's searched for weeks. He's done all he can to find Hoban. There's still the question of where they came from in the first place, but it's probably best you don't ask about that right now. There'll be time for that if they're going to make a home here.

Then it hits you. Not like a ton of bricks, because you'd be dead, but it's still a pretty big epiphany... you know what happened! Even better, you know where to find Hoban. Who knew you were so smart?

"What?! This is no time for jokes, friend. You... you're serious. How do you know? Well, nevermind all that right now. If you know where he is, lets go get him!"

He rallies the crew and they prepare to set sail while you reveal Hoban's location...

You have the option to make a guess or re-read the comic and revisit the map.

So, you think you know what happened to Hoban, the navigator? Why don't you make a guess here? Select when he fell off, who pushed him, where he was on the ship when he fell, and where he is now.

Think carefully and make your guess. Good Luck.



This is my guess based on what I read on the board. I am too lazy to use my brain tonight. Want to get this done before I go off on a week holiday.

You've already made your guess:

Who pushed Hoban? Anshu
When did he fall? 6:00
Where on the ship did he fall? aftdeck
Where is Hoban now? I22
Do you like Hoban's hat? yes, it's very stylish


Check back in a few days -- perhaps the mystery will finally be solved!

The Cyodrake's Gaze



With all that's happened, it's not really much of a surprise for the Cyodarake's Gaze to end up in the Lost Desert, but a ship in the sand is still a strange site. To the Captain you go!

As dependable as ever, the Captain is on the bow as he always is. You already know they've not found their navigator.

"The crew is increasingly concerned, as expected, but even though we've yet to find Hoban, we are starting to narrow our search using the information you've collected, which gives us hope. We are now quite certain he fell during the storm and not before, reducing the search area by quite a bit. Speaking with the rest of the crew will help to narrow it even further."

You've already talked to Kentari, the weapons master and Neopet in charge of security, and Chef Bonju was second to provide information. Both were quite helpful, and meeting more of this mysterious crew would be quite exciting.

"I would suggest Linae next. She's yet to be beaten at a game of Kou-Jong, proving she has a keen eye and can be quite observant. She may be able to provide some more information."

Linae it is! If you recall, she's the Kougra you frequently see on deck. You turn to leave, but Captain Tuan calls out your name before you can get very far.

"I... would like to thank you for your help so far. I must admit I was skeptical at first, but you've proven to be quite genuine in your willingness to help and I am grateful. If more Neopians were like you... perhaps we could..."

He trails off... lost in thought. You're about to ask him what he means exactly when he speaks up again.

"In any case, you have our thanks. Please know we will not rest until we find our navigator, and we hope you'll continue to assist us."

First Mate Shumi nods quite heartily in agreement. Alright, then! You're more determined than ever, now. It's time to talk to the next crew member.

So go read Chapter 4 of the comic.

The Cyodrake's Gaze is back. At Faerieland. And it has wings. LOL

The... the ship! It flies! How could he have kept that to himself?!


"Of course it flies! We can't restrict our voyages to the sea, now can we?"

You should have known, really. Nothing about these Neopets has been as it appears. Still... it flies! How cool is that?

"Back to the issue at hand, friend. Once again, we have failed to locate Hoban. I fear we are taking too long, and our chances of finding him grow weaker with each passing day. I am now stronger in my belief that our only chance of locating him is by gathering information and narrowing our search."

He has a point. With Neopian seas as vast as they are, simply sailing (or even flying) around randomly isn't going to do much.

"Let us talk with Bonju, the ship's cook. While not the most... learned Neopet, he can be quite sagacious at times. He may provide some knowledge we have not yet obtained."

Speak to the Bonju, the chef and you get to read Chapter 3 Comic.

The Cyodrake's Gaze

It's back at Mystery Island. You can read Chapter 2 of the Comic.

You approach Captain Tuan, eager to hear the news of their Navigator's return. Unfortunately, he doesn't look very happy, but that could just be how he always looks.


"Ah, we meet again. What of Hoban? The news is not good, I'm afraid. We've searched for two days but have yet to discover his whereabouts. We caught sight of Mystery Island and thought he might have made it here, but it does not appear so. We'll not give up that easily, however. We plan to head out again as soon as we rest a bit and resupply."

Unless you find your own ship and your own crew to search the vast Neopian oceans, you'll not actually be much help here. You press Captain Tuan again, asking if there's anything you can do aside from that.

"Well, I've been thinking... we know nothing of when or where Hoban fell. Orrin does not know the time, nor is he sure through which portal he witnessed the fall. He was tossed about quite a bit in the... *ahem* locked storeroom during the storm. Perhaps by speaking to the rest of the crew, we could retrace Hoban's steps during the storm and figure out when he disappeared. Knowing that may help us narrow our search, giving us a much better chance of finding him."

Brilliant! You could easily do that. You've always had a knack for asking the right questions. Well, not really, but how hard could it be?

"Very well. I'll ask you to speak to Kentari, then. He is the weapons vendor aboard this vessel. He also provides security, which is why I think it wise to speak to him first. You'll find him off the port bow... though, I'm not quite sure what he's doing there, exactly."

You salute the Captain with a hearty, "aye, aye," then make your way to Kentari.

At Midnight NST, it appears the mysterious ship that once docked on these shores of the Krawk Island has left the harbour. So all the link to the shops and games will have this message for you when you click there.

The Cyodrake's Gaze

It appears the mysterious ship that once docked on these shores has left harbour. Where could it have gone?

I tried to look it up in other harbor, but no luck. So check back here and see if it has been found.

I have found the link to play the game Kou-jong. You can get 1000np if you score 700pts and you can get this score playing hard mode.

Is this a new plot?

Go to Krawk Island, click on the ship.


You will get to The Cyodrake's Gaze,


From here you get a few shops and a game.

Shops:
Wonderous Weaponry
Remarkable Restoratives
Culinary Concoctions
Exotic Food

Game:
Kou-Jong
This game is like mahjong where we have to clear the tiles which overlay each other.

Here are the different tiles you have to clear. Click on 2 of the same to clear. I have group them into their categories. The flower, the neopia world: lost desert, terror mountain and the haunted woods.



When you click on The Cyodrake's Gaze, you can read his story. I am pretty sure this is a new plot. So go listen to his story.

Will update later.
