Tips

 * Stage 8: In case you die and have to replay the sound coded reset system, but do not have the Note anymore, the numbers are the following. 2, 1, 5, 3, 6, 4
 * If you die at any point during the quest, you may re-enter the airship and sleep in your cabin. This will take you to the latest stage you reached that takes place on the main airship.
 * If you lost the Gavellian Passport item, you are able to retrieve it by going to -256 57 -4980, where you started the quest. You will be given another if it hasn't found one in your inventory.

Trivia

 * Captain Ackbar is a reference to the Star Wars Battleship commander, Admiral Ackbar.
 * During Stage 13, you can see some quest items you might have encountered before, such as Red Crystal Shard, Healing Water and Magical Fragment. It is unknown how the pirates got hold of those.

Bugs

 * Various explosions throughout the stages cause items and item frames to drop, allowing you to pick them up and keep them after the completing the questline. All of these items are unusable and untradeable.
 * The iron door halves that require the Pirate Captain's key can sometimes invert, requiring you to stand in the doorway upon opening, then waiting for it to 'close' so you may access the room.
 * If the player dies during any part of the quest, the player will have to retrace their steps until they get to their point in the quest book
 * During the Stages 1 and 2, some doors and trapdoors leading to the exterior may trap the player.
 * After completing Stage 9, the player will sometimes not be teleported and Stage 10 won't start, causing the player to be trapped.
