Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine Hints
How can I get Bubba to lower the flag past halfway?
1 of 15: Remember what he said earlier.
2 of 15: He only takes it down all the way to wash it.
3 of 15: Maybe if we gave him some incentive to wash it, he might decide to?
4 of 15: By getting it dirty, perhaps?
5 of 15: If we wanted to do that, we'd probably need to distract him too.
6 of 15: The item you need to get the flag dirty can be found in the saloon.
7 of 15: There's a bottle of Mustard on one of the tables. Grab it.
8 of 15: However, we will still need a distraction.
9 of 15: Something relating to his line of work... horses, and so forth.
10 of 15: Finding it is going to take a bit of exploration.
11 of 15: Go back to the screen where we found the rocks and head north a couple of times, then west.
12 of 15: You will find a Damaged Horseshoe on the floor. Pick it up.
13 of 15: Okay, that's all we need, so head back to Bubba's.
14 of 15: Give him the horseshoe.
15 of 15: Once he's gone to replace it, squirt the mustard on his flag.
