The bamboo pipe is a fairly common item found in various places throughout the series. It allows the casting of the JIG spell, which causes the victims to uncontrollably dance to exhaustion. It is an extremely effective non-lethal means of defeating most enemies, but can also become lethal if the player wants it to be.
At times you can also play the pipe without casting JIG, and it can also be used as a long thin instrument at various points.
Locations[]

Sorcery! 3[]
- Collect honey from a statue. In theory you should also be able to collect beeswax but this is bugged and you do not gain any beeswax. You can abandon your pipe here, in which case you will be able to collect it at a later point unless you obtained a different pipe in the meantime.

- JIG while fighting the Butcher to defeat her and steal her meat.
- JIG while fighting the Baddu Beetle to make it leave you alone
- JIG the buried thief to make him easier to find
- JIG Manata. Manata has beeswax in his ears and is therefore immune. However, he will strike up a conversation about magical music.
- You may try to trade your pipe to Manata. He refuses on account of his own pipe being better.
- You may play the pipe when the Fire serpent ambushes you and tries to steal your pack. However, this has no effect because music is not its weakness.
- JIG while fighting the Moon serpent. This has no effect.
- JIG while ambushed by Klattamen at night. Strangely, the Klattamen are immune to its effects.

- JIG can kill the time serpent if encountered in The Klatta-Bak Steppes after having cast MAG
- When encountering the fire serpent in the forest of Snatta, you may attempt to play yor pipe if you had previously observed Manata playing his pipe to his snakes. However, you are unable to imitate Manata and this has no effect.
- JIG while sinking into the swamp. This kills you.
- You may throw your pipe at the bell on the island with Ybran's shrine, though it will then fall in the water and be lost.
- JIG while fighting the roachpig to make it leave you alone
Sorcery! 4[]
- JIG while fighting the Ratbear to make it leave you alone
- JIG while fighting the guards in the warehouse to defeat them. However, the noise will alert the captain to your location.

- JIG Cartoum to defeat him.
- JIG while fighting goblins with Ranii. Although the flavour text indicates that this should help, there is actually no difference.
- JIG while in the mess hall. The guards love it and will continue dancing and partying after you've ended the spell. This leads to a unique interaction which notably teaches you the song of the Sleepless Ram.
- JIG in the DUM tower to counter it, learn the JIG/DUM counter, and be able to loot its contents (which can include glue, a black facemask, a mirror, a broadsword, a skullcap, a pipe and a green-haired wig)
- JIG Flanker to dance with him. If you try a second time, he will break your pipe.
