Hehe sorry! All I had to do was...
Spoiler
Put the bucket on top of the door before lighting shirt on fire.

Need one more lil hint. What do I do outside the kidnapper's hideout?
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 10/07/2011 21:32:50
You need to get the kidnapper away from the door because Hoagie is in there (and that is a longer „story“).  ;D

Since I don't know, what you already did and what you have in inventory, I only have a very general recommendation/hint:
Spoiler
You are able to go around the sheet and in the wood nearby. You can talk to hoagie and find some more useful items, when exploring the scenes careful.

Hope it helps a bit.  ::)

Around what sheet? And all I have in my inventory is the board, net, and tv. I went into the woods and talked to the crazy lady with the shovel lol.

Sorry, my bad english - it was the terribly wrong term - I meant the hideout itself   (http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Girls/smilie_girl_075.gif)

Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 10/07/2011 22:07:36
I walk to each side of the hideout but I don't see where I can talk to Hoagie.

Oh my GAWD I can't believe I didn't try that!! LOL I clicked on push, pull, pick up etc. But not USE!! LOL thank you. Hopefully I won't get my dumb self stuck AGAIN :D

Okay looks like I am.............can't seem to figure out how to knock out kidnapper. I've already made Bernard's machine with the wood and such.
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 10/07/2011 22:42:56
That's a good start!  :)

Try to find a way to get the
Spoiler
newspaper from the guard
[close]
You will need it to get the
Spoiler
shovel from the crazy lady.
[close]
Afterwards you can think about a way to „knock him out“  -  good luck!


That's it from me for today - sorry, but if I don't get to sleep now (it's about 23:45 pm over here), I'll have to get too many naps in the office

I've already done all that and I can't use the shovel on him. I've tried every way I can think of.

you do not need to use it on him

Yay thanks!! I somehow overlooked that lil area! LOL I'm tryin my best not to ask for more help here. I love these games so much but I really suck at them :)
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 01:00:13
Okay I'll ask anyways................I'm in the house, I have the beer + pill, the rope, knife, and I already cut the plastic bottle. I think I need a hose or something. And I need a hook for the rope. Hint please? :)

Post by: arj0n on Sun 17/07/2011 03:03:37
@CQ:
You
Spoiler
should fix the freezer now. (and you don't need a hoke for the rope b.t.w.)

Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 04:17:28
Okay no hook got it. I was hoping the freezer thing wasn't important cuz I haven't been able to figure that out either LOL.
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 17/07/2011 05:05:16
I am missing an item in your inventory.

Have you found
Spoiler
the flyer in hoagies room?
[close]
You will need it  ;)
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 05:20:02
Oh I got that flyer. That's where the pill came from!
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 17/07/2011 07:28:56
... and did you read it?
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 07:36:18
Yes I did and I said earlier that I've already put the beer with the pill and cut the plastic bottle. Now I just need something to connect them.
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 17/07/2011 07:44:51
There is a lot more do do (as always):

First Bernard needs to realize, that
Spoiler
the alarm of the freezer is faulty.
[close]

Afterwards he will be able to
Spoiler
use the phone.
[close]
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 07:53:43
Ohhhh is it in that order? Because I already did both. But I didn't try the phone again after looking at the freezer.
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 17/07/2011 08:06:23
Yes, I think so
Spoiler
If you use the phone before reading and realizing that the alarm is faulty, you don't know the number and there is no need to call him.
[close]
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 08:08:47
Oh okay, I'll give that a try and pray that I don't get stuck yet AGAIN! LOL Thank you :)
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 10:18:45
I'm shamed to say I'm stuck AGAIN. Freezer is fixed, I got the valve and I set the timer thing on the freezer. I kinda don't understand what kind of trap I'm supposed to be setting.
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: arj0n on Sun 17/07/2011 11:23:25
1.:
Spoiler
combine some items to build one bigger item, (valve, hose, half bottle)
[close]
2.:
Spoiler
combine the pills with the beer
[close]
3.:
Spoiler
use the rope on the kidnapper
[close]
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: Tabata on Sun 17/07/2011 11:28:52
So you are ready with  
Spoiler
the „drink“ but Bernard refuses to use it on the sleeping guy?
[close]

If so:
Spoiler
To wake him up start the alarm of the freezer and go upstairs again.
[close]


Edit:
Sorry Arj0n! I didn't see your already done reply - I truly need too much time for typing, controling ... :P
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 19:55:58
Umm Arj0n didn't you see my earlier posts? I did all that already and I can't use the rope on the kidnapper because he says he needs a hook. Bernard won't let me combine the drink and the hose. And Tabata I can't use the alarm yet, he says it's set but he needs to stop it from cooling.
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 17/07/2011 19:58:21
Ahhh I figured somethin out on my own! Yay me! LOL

Spoiler
I put the starch in the sink and then added in the rope and it made a hook
[close]

So I DID need the hook after all ;)

Now how to get those scissors........

Hey, thanks for playing and not giving up ;)

The hose alone won't work, have a look at the flyer again to get some tips.
Spoiler
combine the hose with the bottleneck, and the result with the valve.
[close]

After completing that, your weapon, there is another hotspot in the cellar you may have missed:
Spoiler
You have to pull the plug of the freezer

I am having a problem with the part of the game where hoagie is locked in the room.  I have the hamster and I cut the letters out of the magazine and put the noodle on the letters but the letters still won't stick to the hamster.

Woah mdm2968 how did you get that far? I just have the frozen noodle and the magazine!
Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 83 - Chasing Hoagie
Post by: mukk on Tue 19/07/2011 12:40:49
@mdm: The poor hamster...try something else as a basis
Spoiler
glue the letters back on the magazine
[close]

@Cosmo: Look at the door, there is something you want
Spoiler
Use the magazine and than the frozen noodle on the door
