I really enjoy playing Broken Sword II, and I don't usually read walkthroughs or hints. However, at one point I just HAD to, I was stuck on Zombie Island. If you find yourself stuck too, have tried EVERYTHING but you just can't seem to get anywhere, read on... you might have encountered the same bug as myself.

I helped George to startle the hog, and it disappeared in the distance. I saved the game, happy to get rid of it, did some interesting things with a monolith and spent some time in a swamp, and couldn't get anywhere. I was at my wit's end...
Finally I resorted to a walkthrough, and found out this should have been impossible. The hog should have killed George, not run past him. The only way George should be able save himself, is to grab the branch quickly, and hoist himself out of danger. Then, and only then, the hog will change direction, and open a hidden path.
Fortunately, I am in the habit to save often, and under different names, so I could go back to a saved game and try again. This time all went well, and I was able to solve the puzzles on this island.
Hope this helps others who are stuck at the same spot!

That sounds strange. I never dodged the boar in the game like you just described.
I made a blowpipe from the reeds in the swamp and used the dart to stun the boar.
So that means if you actually did it this way, there are two solutions to the puzzle :)

More spoilers ;)
Oh, now I am puzzled too, did the boar open the hidden path for you? Or how did you get on top of the island?

As it was a while ago I played the game, I've forgot some details.
Strangely enough I can't remember the boar opening any path for me.
The path was always open, it was just blocked by the boar, so that I had to "disable" it to get past it and to the beacon.
And I believe to get to the top it was just a matter of going through the maze. In other words, the path to the top was never blocked by the boar; it only blocked the beacon which you need to use anyways to find the film location set.

It was discussed here some time ago. You can get to the mountain top even without having the boar open a path for you, but it's easy to miss that path through the swamp.
At least, I was able to. I never actually received any comments on the directions I posted at the end of that thread.

Oooh that explains it :) Thanks!

Guys, thank you!
(spoilers :) )
I just encountered this too. I combined the dart and the reed and used this on the boar. George then jogs backwards and steps to the side to let it run past! Having become very very stuck at this point, I check some FAQs to see where I was going wrong and they *all* say you have to grab the branch and jump out of the way - which in turn induces the boar into opening up another path for you.
As has been mentioned, if you can indeed make it through the maze to end up in the same place anyway, I'd be a very happy man! :)

There are two ways to this mountain.
You can hit the hog with the arrow and click on the branch, so that way appears (and thats the best and easiest way)
or
you hit that hog with the arrow and do nothing. The will run towards Gorge and he just jumpes out of its "tusk range". then you have to find a way through the jungle and thats not easy because George gets lost the most time, but there is a way.
if you downloaded broken sword 2 from gog, you will find a guide which describes your problem completely

so if the boar did not make a path is there a way i can carry on or do i have 2 start again?

Yes there is. Check this out: http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/hints/bsword2/891.php
An Overview Of The Available Exits On Each Figure
The trickiest part for me was getting down from the right path. There are three paths from the highest point and I constantly avoided the right one somehow.

I am stuck also at ZombieIsland because I didnt jump at the branch.
But now I cant find a way to the hill.
What can I do ?
KindRegards,
