 and white conversions I like the best are the ones that add depth to an image that I think otherwise uninteresting, or ones that bring out structural elements that were maybe obscured in the color shot. This picture of Holyrood Abbey is, I think, my best example of the latter. It’s sure a lot better as a black and white image than a color one.
The picture below shows people hanging out in and around one of the fountains to stay cool. The photo was uninspiring in color, but, I think, more interesting in monochrome. I’m not much for photo-editing – it’s on my list of things to learn – but I notice that I failed to remove the sensor smudges from this photograph. Sorry, internet. I hope it doesn’t irritate you as much as it irritates me.

Puerto Sacarico
- Sugar Island. Apart from a sugar plantation owned by the Inquisition, there is also a small pirates' den in the east of the island.
Description taken directly from Risen 2 official site.[1]
- Tacarigua is an island in the Southern Seas covered by a thick jungle. Here, the Inquisition has laid sugar cane plantations which are being cultivated by slaves. There is strong demand for sugar in Antigua, particularly for the rum which is extracted from harvested sugar cane. The rum is also legendary throughout the Southern Seas.
- Puerto Sacarico is the main base on the island, and here a handful of Inquisition soldiers guard the slave labourers. The situation in general on the island is tense as people continue to disappear without a trace. These inexplicable losses make the Inquisition’s henchmen nervous as production cannot be adequately maintained. To make matters worse, pirates now seem to have built dens on the island.
- There are indeed indications that a freebooter’s den is located somewhere on the island. However the lonely island also has darker and more dangerous spots, that cause even the bravest of adventurers to tremble.
LocationsEdit
- Large Gate
- Jack's Lighthouse
- Pirates' Den
- Puerto Sacarico
- Vasco's Tower
QuestsEdit
10 Bloody RootsEdit
Elia, the distillery assistant at Booze's tavern, will sell you the Bloody Mary recipe for ten Bloodroots.

You can find colby near the waterfall by the Pirate's Den or at the camp's Large Gate.

BountyEdit
This is an optional quest given only if you speak to the governor about runaway slaves and agree to pursue them for a bounty. You can find the slaves in the jungle east of Vasco's tower. These enemies are particularly difficult, so bring Patty with you. Collect their belongings and return to the governor for your reward.
The Clothes of a PirateEdit
In either Caldera or Puerto Sacarico, speak to the imprisoned Largo. He will ask that you return his bandana, worn-out shoes, his leather shirt, and his black pearl earring. To retrieve the pearl, learn pickpocketing from Largo, then speak to Carter who sits next to Largo's cell and offer him some grog. While he is tipsy, you can select the pickpocket option from the dialogue tree and take back the pearl. Sneak into the Puerto Sacarico barracks and snatch the shoes in the back of the cabin - you can even run in during the day. Retrieve the bandana from Riley located in the sugar plantation just north of Puerto Sacarico by either fighting him or intimidating him. Lastly, purchase Largo's pants from Carter directly for 150 gold.
Crab Slapping with BlakeEdit
Help Blake kill giant crabs. Five come from the sea near Blake simultaneously. Kicking them before attacking is the best method of dispatching them quickly. However, Blake will kill them by himself eventually if you can manage to avoid the crabs' attacks. Your reward is distributed based on whether or not you killed more crabs than Blake. You will get 50 gold if you kill 2 or less crabs and 100 gold for killing 3 or more.
A Difficult ChestEdit
There is a chest of gold in the pirate ship docked at the pirate camp. You will need a lock pick and the lock picking ability. The former you can purchase from the blacksmith for 500 gold (or get for free while doing Largo quest) and the latter you can learn from Largo for 1000 gold. To learn lock picking, you will need a Cunning of at least 4. You may want to complete this quest after leveling quite a bit.
Distract AlisterEdit
You can distract Alister from his guard duty by sending the prostitute Lola upstairs. You can find her on the second floor. She requests 100 or 200 gold for her services. Sneak upstairs while Lola and Alister are busy and Elia is asleep to rummage around Booze's room freely.

This quest can be lost immediately if you tell Largo while in captivity that you refuse to help him escape captivity or that he should mind his own business. You can free Largo by acquiring a lockpick. After completing acquiring the Bandanna or the Black Pearl from The Clothes of a Pirate quest, speak to the blacksmith in the pirate camp. He will give you a lockpick which you can use to free Largo. You can either purchase it from him for 500 gold or convince him to give it to you for free..
