Locations

Further In: Plot #1

A gang of Sweet skeletons
Bad guys	Guinevere Sweet Brutus Sweet Elaine Sweet Morgan Sweet Evaine Sweet
XP (kill)	200 - 215

• To the left is the ghost of a grandmother looking for her favorite granddaughter; more information below in the "Puzzles" section.
• To the right there are additional graves.
  • With a shovel you can dig up a loosely packed grave to reveal the location of Hellstrom Ranch, Wise Ol' Jed Marmot to receive marmotskin cap, and Big Bob Hurlingham for a tripe pie.
  • Further into the graves on the right are 5 half-buried skeletons, the Sweet gang. To get past them you'll need to wade in and fight them.
  • Once the gang is defeated you can reach a larger monument from which you can retrieve the sweet sword.

Even Further In: Plot #2

• On the left side are some tombstones, and a gothic picnic that contains a a selection of dry goods, as well as a Gothic cameo.
• If you have a shovel you can dig up Dink 'Scotch' Terkinson and get decent whiskey (x2), Fred Deeks to get patent emetic (x3), and Annette Jangle for riding boots
• On the right side is the Tombstone puzzle; more information below in the "Puzzles" section.

Still Yet Further In: Plot #3

The group of cultists
Bad guys	a necromantic cultist a necromantic cultist a necromantic cultist a bone barrier a bone barrier a bone barrier
XP (kill)	120 - 129
Drops	black hood 2-3 of skeleton bone skull chips handful of loose teeth 40% chance of 1 of human ashes grave dirt 20% chance of 1 of human ashes grave dirt

• The grave of Paulette Tootsbury immediately to the left can be dug up with a shovel for skull chips (x3),
• Further to the left there are some floating bones guarding a group of cultists who are trying to reanimate a skeleton. To get past the barrier of bones you can either crush them (Muscle 20), dispel them (Mysticality 20), or shoot them (Moxie 20), receiving 30 - 32 XP however you do it.
• Past the bone barrier you can either fight the group of cultists, or just wait around and see what happens.
  • Choosing to wait will eliminate the cultists, as the skeleton they are attempting to animate goes on a rampage, killing them all, scratching its name in the ground (GRUTCH) and disappearing. You receive no XP for this option.
  • Once the cultists are gone, you can retrieve a Nex-Mex book from the pedestal, and a clue for the Necromancer Journal (requires Stench Resistance) from the outhouse.
• To the right there are a several gag graves, but you can dig up Stanrietta Minkleston with a shovel to get handful of loose teeth (x3).
• At the extreme right you can find a non-threatening skeleton, Bernard, who would rather not be reanimated by the cultists. Once you have taken care of the cultists he will give you the worry stone.

Puzzles

Granddaughter Puzzle

The first puzzle in Reboot Hill is to figure out which of the cemetery's inhabitants was a ghost's favorite granddaughter, via a logic puzzle. The hints given about the granddaughter are:

The old woman (who is now a ghost) died at age 95. (Her tombstone is to the right of the gate to Plot #2)

1. She was born when the old lady was somewhere between 37 and 42 years old. (therefore the birth year is between 1837 and 1843*)
2. Her first name ends with a vowel.
3. Her first name was longer than her last name. (More than 5 Letters)
4. She's not buried next to any of the old lady's daughters. (Going by the dates of birth, these are Farrah, Lillith, Margaret, and Pearl, who are born 15-20 years earlier than the 3rd generation)
5. She died at the same age as Becky who was in poor health. There are 4 Beckys, who died at 15 or 16; 23 or 24; 37 or 38; and 49 or 50. It also can't be a Becky, since no two Beckys had the same age.
6. She likes knitting and by deduction is the same person who has a dormitory locker in Kellogg Ranch.
   • Reading the diary will reveal one of two clues, either that her name has fewer than eight letters, or that is is longer than seven letters.

Here's all of the information from the relevant tombstones:

Name	Years	Age*	Notes
Rebecca Smith	1800-1895	94 or 95	The old ghost herself
First Becky	1837-1875	37 or 38	Name too short
Little Becky	1843-1859	15 or 16	Name too short
Mezzo Becky	1838-1888	49 or 50	Name too short
Penultimate Becky	1840-1864	22†	Name too short; †By Fort Cowardice files, she died before her birthday and was often sickly
Faith	1834-1859	24 or 25	No vowel ending
Farrah	1816-1867	50 or 51	Rebecca's daughter
Faye	1841-1856	14 or 15	Name too short
Fidelity	1836-1885	48 or 49	Next to her daughter
Fiona	1839-1878	38 or 39	Name too short
Leilani	1849-1864	14 or 15	Born too late
Lenore	1847-1863	15 or 16	Born too late
Leslie	1840-1859	18 or 19	Next to her daughter
Lillith	1822-1859	36 or 37	Rebecca's daughter
Linda	1845-1880	34 or 35	Name too short; born too late
Madeline	1836-1875	38 or 39	Next to her daughter
Magdalene	1840-1863	22 or 23
Margaret	1819-1884	64 or 65	Rebecca's daughter
Melissa	1842-1880	37 or 38
Meredith	1837-1874	36 or 37	No vowel ending
Pamela	1841-1857	15 or 16	Next to her daughter
Patricia	1838-1862	24†	†By Fort Cowardice files, she died after her birthday; no Becky matches
Paula	1845-1850	4 or 5	Name too short; born too late
Pearl	1820-1875	54 or 55	Rebecca's daughter
Penelope	1836-1886	49 or 50

* Depends if your point of reference is before or after their birthday in a given year. For example if you were born Jan 3rd 1900, you would be 4 if you died Jan 2nd 1905, or 5 if you died Jan 4th 1905.

If you guess incorrectly, the old lady will be overcome with grief and will not allow you to guess again until the next day.

Eliminating possibilities based on the clues, there actually appear to be several people who fit the description. The answer will be either Magdalene or Melissa.

• If you previously read the diary in Kellogg Ranch the correct answer will be based on whichever clue was randomly given in the diary.
  • "fewer than eight letters" implies Melissa, while "longer than seven letters" implies Magdalene.
• If you did not previously read the diary, your first choice is guaranteed to be incorrect.

Successfully solving the puzzle will reward you with 90 - 96 XP, and a ghost flower.

Tombstone Puzzle (Plot #2)

On the right side of plot #2 are a few normal tombstones and a "tontine" puzzle involving three big and fancy tombstones.

Each tombstone contains a key fragment, and a letter sequence.

• 1st tombstone has: BTLITR
• 2nd tombstone has: OHLGHE (Requires Lockpickin' Expertise level 2 and a needle)
• 3rd tombstone has: OIEHTE (Requires Safecrackin' level 2)

The key fragments can be assembled into the tontine key by clicking on any of the fragments, which will then prompt you to reassemble it.

The puzzle solution is to line the letters up in a grid like so:

B	T	L	I	T	R
O	H	L	G	H	E
O	I	E	H	T	E

And then read it down columns and then across by rows - which spells out BOOT|HILL|EIGHTH|TREE.

Head back down to the entrance of Reboot Hill and go to the eighth big black tree from the left of the edge of the area (or 3rd from the right of the entry to Plot #1). Click on the tree and a prompt will show up to put in the key. This will reveal the tontine treasure chest, and in the box is an unbreakable ruby (sell price of 2000 meat) which can be turned into jewelry
