Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine Hints
How do I switch the minecart track?
1 of 9: You will need to put something in the mechanism to provide some leverage.
2 of 9: There's an item down here that will do it for you, to the far left of the area.
3 of 9: There's a pickaxe jammed in some rock here, which will do the job nicely.
4 of 9: Seems it needs to be stuck into the slot.
5 of 9: Maybe the RIGHT solution is around here somewhere?
6 of 9: There's a lake full of tar one screen right of the lever.
7 of 9: Grab some in your flask, and use it on the mechanism, then use the axe on it again.
8 of 9: The axe will break, but it served its purpose... for now.
9 of 9: Al will automatically pick up the broken axe head.
