Red herrings - which ones did you enjoy?

[Nor_Treblig]

Somehow I didn’t really fell for most of them. I often correctly suspected they either aren’t important or I actually guessed they are leftovers from non-implemented puzzle chains.

The large fountain in the hotel.

This is one where I thought there is more significance to it, I was playing around with it for some time, splashing and freezing the hell out of it
Another red herring for me was getting the crystal, but this wasn’t enjoying.

Noteworthy is also the navigator’s head which could be quite problematic for all gamers who’ve never played Monkey Island. Well, actually many of those backer items had interesting uses (like the eye drops) but except for a few which were integrated into puzzles they were mostly red herrings.

I’ve linked those items in this blog post some time ago:

"Useless" items in the inventory

Here is a list of backer items in a blog comment. With the stuffed animal + math trophy those are likely the 16 backer items. Some of those were incorporated into puzzle chains but most are red herrings (with or without Easter egg use). Other red herring objects are most of the stuff from the highway (e.g. Atari cartridges, plastic rings) and there were also red herring bags in the game (OK, the latter can’t be picked up)
