Beyond Reality

[Ozwalled]

Stuck at the guard in Beyond Reality.

Spoiler

I have the matches, larvae, feather, laxitives (I used them on the bird in a previous saved game, but with no noticable result), the string, the money, the note (paper with directions), the pillowcase and the red paint.

I've read that I have to dangle the feather down from the tree on the ledge, but I don't have a rope and the tree doesn't seem to be a hotspot (and yeah, I understand that the guard's afraid of insects, which is why I'm to tickle him). So I figured that maybe I was supposed to dangle the feather from the string tied to one of the signposts, but that doesn't seem to be working either.

In short, I'm missing something, but I'm not 100% sure what that something is.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

You missed something, yes...

Spoiler

Have you got the chili and used it with red paint? Have you got a snake (from toy store) and used with that red paint? Have you used laxatives PLUS red paint+snake with the bird? Only after a really comic painting scene you will be able to get the rope.

Guh. Was there any reason that the snake had to be used, even? (a hint given by the game, I mean...)

Either way, thanks for the hint, Primus -- finished it up now.

Hi, Ozwalled 

No, I don't think the game had a hint about the snake: I discovered its use by checking this section 

You're welcome!
