Discworld II Hints

Where can I get some more sand for Death's hourglass?

  • 1 of 13: You'd think that with all the sand in the desert and on the beach in XXXX, it would be easy to take some of that.
  • 2 of 13: But it's not that simple -- you need special sand.
  • 3 of 13: Sand that can extend someone's life.
  • 4 of 13: Making them younger, in an odd kind of way.
  • 5 of 13: Heard anything about youth from any of the characters?
  • 6 of 13: Uri Djeller in Djelibeybi mentioned something about a Fountain of Youth. Maybe he can help you with your problem now.
  • 7 of 13: Once you've found the Fountain of Youth, look at it.
  • 8 of 13: There's some sand in the bottom.
  • 9 of 13: You need to plug up the Fountain.
  • 10 of 13: What's often used to stop flowing water?
  • 11 of 13: A cork would work here.
  • 12 of 13: Take a look at Death's hat.  There's a cork on there that you can take.
  • 13 of 13: Use the cork on the Fountain, and then use the hourglass on the sand to refill his hourglass.
