Ceville Hints

How can I repair the dumbwaiter?

  • 1 of 5: You need a replacement crank and some means to operate it.
  • 2 of 5: For the replacement crank think about something that rotates.
  • 3 of 5: The hamster wheel seems to be perfect for that.
  • 4 of 5: As you have a hamster wheel, the means to operate it is a hamster.
  • 5 of 5: Give the hamster to Ambrosius (see How can I exchange items between Ceville and Ambrosius?) and let him use the hamster on the hamster wheel.
