The Canbodian River is the most prominent feature of Canbodia, since it runs straight through it and is chock-full of cans, booze, and fish. Traversing it is the main way of getting from place to place in Canbodia.

Activities

There's only one thing you can do while sailing the Canbodian River, and that is exploring it.

Exploring

For 5T, you can sail around the Canbodian River and explore it for various items and nice little bonuses. As with the Red Light District and the Hoburbs, you need to be alive in order to explore it; however, unlike those two areas, it is efficient explore this area while Zombified, as you won't run into any fights here.

The following is a list of events you can encounter while sailing the Canbodian River.

Treasure Chest Event

You decide it might be fun to take a quick break and go for a swim in the river.

You bank off in a little river alcove and take a running leap off the edge of the Wonka Boat into the cool river water.

Ow! You land on something hard!

HoboWarrior: Son of a- hey!

You look down and see you've landed on a treasure chest! You pull it up on board and open it to find it filled with cash!

You get money!

Floating Cans Event

Ahab sails the Wonka Boat around the base of the river for a little while.

I guess now you know why they call this place Canbodia. Bobbing up and down in the water are empty discarded cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

You reach your hands into the river and grab an armful.

You get cans!

Can Shower Event

You're minding your business, enjoying the calm of the river when suddenly, something whacks you on the head.

HoboWarrior: Ow! What the...

You look up and jump out of the way just in time to avoid a can falling out of the sky straight at you!

Lance: Nothing to worry about. Just a light can shower. It'll probably stop any second now.

Sure enough, after a few more cans plunk into the boat and the surrounding waters, the river is quiet again.

HoboWarrior: Can showers?

Lance: I've read about this. It can happen when a strong wind current hits a recycling bin. They're usually pretty brief.

Whatever. All you know is you just got some free cans! You dig around on the floor of the boat and pick up all the cans you can find.

You get cans!

Can Torrent Event

You're minding your business, enjoying the calm of the river when suddenly, something whacks you on the head.

HoboWarrior: Ow! What the...

You look up and jump out of the way just in time to avoid a torrent of cans falling out of the sky straight at you!

This is no ordinary can rain! This is a freaking can torrent!

Whatever. All you know is you just got some free cans! You dig around on the floor of the boat and pick up all the cans you can find.

You get cans!

Shrunken Head Event

While sailing your boat past a jungle thicket you see a coconut floating in the water nearby.

HoboWarrior: I wonder what a coconut is doing out here...

Crazy Eddie: That no coconut.

Eddie leans down into the water and pulls the not-coconut up out of the water and hands it to you.

Crazy Eddie: Is tiny head. Very valuable. Delicacy. Yum yum.

That's when you notice what Eddie has handed you is no coconut, but a shrunken head. Cool!

You get the Shrunken Head Shrunken-Head.gif

Abandoned Motor Event

You're doing donuts half a click out from the skate park when you spot something in the water.

HoboWarrior: Cut the engine!

You idle over to the object and find it's a fully functioning motor just floating in the water. You wouldn't even think such an object would float of it's own volition...

Ahab: Yarrr, look at the markings. It's Golf Papa's. Must be leftover from a damaged boat.

Whatever. All you know is you just scored a sweet motor.

You get the Abandoned Motor Abandoned-Motor.gif

Orange Juice Event

All this river navigating is making you thirsty.

HoboWarrior: Eddie, you got something refreshing to drink?

Eddie: Eddie have fresh squeezed.

HoboWarrior: Umm, y'know what, never-

Eddie tosses you a cold box of fresh-squeezed OJ.

Eddie: You take. This stuff no good for soup.

You get the Orange Juice Orange-Juice.gif

Casual Fishing Events

You decide it would be nice to just relax and do a bit of fishing. You dig around on the Wonka Boat and find a big freaky candy cane you can use as a fishing pole and a long thin piece of licorice you can tie around it to make a line.

You take out a piece of pre-chewed gum and stick it onto the end of the licorice piece. Ah, Bait! (High chance of catching something good.)
Unfortunately you can't find anything that will stick to the licorice that you can use as bait... (Low chance of catching something good.)

You cast your line out into the water and kick back. A few minutes go by and you feel a tug on your line! You pull it in and retrieve your prize!

Pirate Rat Event

While sailing down the river, you pull out your King's cup to admire it.

HoboWarrior: Man, this thing is filthy...

You lean over the edge of the boat and dip it in the river to wash it out, but when you pull the cup back up, it's a little heavier. That's when you hear a panicked squeak!

HoboWarrior: What the hell...

Peaking inside the cup, you see a small rat dressed up like a pirate!

The rat freaks and leaps straight out of the cup and back into the water. Ah well.

You decide to try to lure it into your cage with 3 week old cheese.
You managed to lure Pirate Rat into the cage.

The Three Sirens Event

You're sailing past a patch of jungle when you hear singing... the most beautiful singing you've ever heard in fact...

You follow the haunting melody into a cove glowing with a magical light from within. Perched on a rock in the center of a pool of clear blue water are 3 of the most beautiful women you have ever seen. The first waves you over seductively with her finger. The second opens her arms to you. The third begins to speak while the other two continue their ethereal song.

Third Siren: Come, HoboWarrior. Come bathe with us and hear us sing. We've been waiting for you...

You think about it for a second before reaching into your backpack and pulling out a bar of soap.

HoboWarrior: Okay! I'm jumping in!

You jump in the water and use the soap to bathe up. The three sirens soon jump in with you and all four of you spend a bit of time playing marco polo, bouncing a beach ball back and forth, and laughing. After a bit you get back onto your ship and dry off.

HoboWarrior: Thanks ladies! That was a wonderful time!

The three women smile and head back towards their rock. Well, wasn't that nice! Your mind, body, and spirit all feel refreshed!

You use 1 bar of soap

You gained 1 intel.
You gained 1 speed.
You gained 1 power.
You gained 1 strength.
