Ceville Hints

How can I repair the grandfather clock?

  • 1 of 4: Look at the clock. Ceville comments as to why it's not working.
  • 2 of 4: The pendulum is broken (remember chapter 0), so you have to find a replacement pendulum.
  • 3 of 4: The large ladle in the bowl in the throne room would make a perfect replacement.
  • 4 of 4: Change to Ambrosius, take the large ladle, and give it to Ambrosius (see How can I exchange items between Ceville and Ambrosius?) and then let Ceville use it on the grandfather clock.
