Know the Ropes is a white picture in Man of Medan. It can be found by Alex, Julia, Brad, or Fliss in the lower deck. This picture appears in Depths.
Overview[]
A white-bordered framed painting. It depicts a ship sailing in an undulating sea.
Premonition[]
Olson strangles someone with a sledgehammer when the cargo door chain snaps and falls.
Outcome[]
Preparation for the premonition occurs in Distress Signal when the surviving protagonists decide which one of them will go down for the generator. If Alex goes down or stays in the radio room, but alone, the game will follow the necessary path. This scenario also happens if Alex is dead.
The premonition itself can be fulfilled in Flooded. During a fight between one of the protagonists and Olson, the two find themselves under a cargo door:
- If the Curator's Cut protagonist pulls the lever, the door will fall on the struggling two, leading to Olson's death, as well as the possible death of the protagonist and the destruction of the distributor cap.
- If the Curator's Cut protagonist doesn't pull the lever, Olson will choke the protagonist to death before smashing their head with a sledgehammer.
Location[]
The picture can be found in the locker to the right behind the generator in the lower deck.
Trivia[]
- Conrad is the only protagonist who can't find this picture as he never goes down for the generator.
- This, In the Offing, and Cured are the only pictures in the anthology that can be guaranteed not to happen by the time they are found.
- In this case, it will not happen if Alex stayed in the radio room with another protagonist.
