* PuzzleBox: The first time Robin infiltrates the Abbey, he discovers that the Abbott has obtained a special puzzle box that he is trying to open. Robin steals the puzzle box and opens it, revealing a magic ring that he can use to protect himself from fire — which comes in handy when the Abbott captures Maid Marian and tries to burn her at the stake.

** There are several ways you can try to resolve the HostageSituation with Jack and the peasant woman. If you walk away, Robin chides himself for his indecision; come back (you can fast-travel to the standoff by clicking on the road, even though it's not marked), and he proclaims he has unfinished business with Jack. Leave and return again, and Jack's fellow soldier Roger has arrived while you were vacillating and will kill you with his crossbow. If you walk off to the side of the road, ''then'' speak with Jack, Robin will tell him to pass and Jack will point out Robin will just shoot him in the back if he tries. Attempting to bribe him or summon the Merry Men to deal with him also have unique dialogue bits.
