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!
