At the start of the update, I get a call from Janet to come home, which ultimately leads to me to the doctor's office where I discover that we need another rat trap. I went to the bar to search for cockroaches, and saw one running into the back room, but Tasha dragged me out to the Tikpak tomb first. Not having the tomb key, I returned to the bar and got the cockroach to complete the rat trap. While there, I gave aloe to the guy, and he gave me two broken keys. Great! I had two broken keys left from the previous update, so I immediately crafted them into a chest key.
Then I found out that I need two broken keys to create the pirate key. Oops! I found a broken key in the jaguar area, so I just need one more. Where's the second one? [Searches thread] In the Tikpak tomb! That I can't enter without the pirate key, which I can't create without going into the Tikpak tomb.
So, the correct order is to use the two broken keys to create the pirate key, then use the treasure in the pirate chest to create the tomb key, and then use the broken key in the tomb to create the chest key. If you create the chest key before the pirate key, you will never be able to enter the Tikpak tomb to get the key that you would need to create the pirate key that gets you into the Tikpak tomb.
By returning to the bar to finish the rat trap quest instead of working on the tomb key quest first, I've softlocked the game and need to start over? This far into the game! That's a serious design error. The guy shouldn't be in the bathroom until you have the pirate key. The game can't let you have four broken keys until it's time to use them to create a chest key. Am I right about this, or is there a way to salvage my game?
