3. During the third attempt, Brown faced another confrontation with Fisk, leading to his defeat.
4. In the fourth attempt, he tried a more aggressive approach, resulting in a chaotic battle and another defeat.
5. The fifth attempt ended with a game crash, but Brown persisted and eventually opened a chest, finding only mundane items.
6. In a bonus round, he successfully opened a second chest containing a bow, but was caught by Fisk, leading to a chaotic battle where he used the bow against the merchant and his allies.
