Title: Paula in Wonderland
Post by: Ozwalled on Sun 02/11/2003 03:27:33
I'm stuck.

Spoiler
I seem to be in need of salt for the alchemist's fire to make gold. I assume this will lead to a coin that lets me play the slot machine and earn big bucks to be able to buy something at the Wundershop or something...

Spoiler
I've already told the police officer the time of the card's death. I have the diploma, the charge (warrant?), the criminolgy book, the teapot, the matches and the signed picture of Sergej.

I can't seem to do anything behind the bar with the door or gutter, either, if that helps any.

What now?

Thanks in advance.

Strange ... I remember what to do, but I can't remember how I thought of it originally. So, here's my attempt on that basis at a subtle hint.
Spoiler
You have something of greater value to someone else, than of use to yourself.

Hm. Thanks! That was a help, even if I saw no logic in doing that. Oh well.

But crap, I'm stuck again.

Spoiler
I just burned the hole in the ground and got the letter, then showed it to the police guy, who took it from me. I also got the beard to get the comb and gave that to the queen to get the toy car. I shoved that down the drainpipe, and it got stuck. I tried the screwdriver on the jammed part of the pipe, but no dice. I also tried shoving items into the pipe to flush out the blockage, but that didn't seem to work either. I figured I might be able to talk to the Smith to get a hacksaw or something, but there isn't any new topics that came up with him.

If you need any more info, I can give more.

Spoiler
I am SO itching to beat a confession outta' someone. I suspsect the Queen. Crazy *****.

The screwdriver was a good idea, but there is something else more effective.
And - as far as I remember - it is just hanging around somewhere (in case you haven't picked it up yet).

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've never played such a frustrating game - think my brain has gone dead!  I have interacted with everything and everyone and still can't find what to do! Its probably so simple but for the life of me I can't fathom it out  >:(

Thanks I must have given the autograph to him a dozen times and what do they say about perserverance!

Whew! Finally got through this one, and some of the stuff in it, I must say, was pretty frustrating, IMO. A lot of the puzzles had some logic to them, but others... not so much. Oh well. At least it's done.

Thanks for the help everyone!  :)

You did not not address me, but maybe I can help as well...

Spoiler

Yes, this seems to be the same game. I recognize parts of it in both your entries. ;)
Though you probably did not get the comb from the bartender.
About the pipe: You have to... well... use force to open it...

BTW: Thanks for your comment, Ozwalled. :)

Also, porchbeast,

Spoiler
There's something you're missing over in the river, but you need a modified item to get it. And if you need a hand with the modified item...
[close]

Spoiler
then look carefully around the circus tent area.
[close]

Good luck (and yeah, we're playing the same game).

;)

As far as the comments, no problem. Can't wait to see what you've got in store next.

Porch,

The tent is right by that Sergej guy... it's the place you can walk to that's next to the inn (or bar, or tavern or whatever)...

Spoiler
there, you'll notice a bed of nails that you'll want to take a LOOK at... it should be able to give you a clue as to what to do...
[close]

If you want an additional hint,

Spoiler
consider that to find something in the water (on the far right of the main Wonderland area), you'll want a strainer of some sort...
[close]

Good luck!
