Discworld Hints

Where can I find an imp?

  • 1 of 9: The imp you used for the dragon detector hid in a mouse hole.
  • 2 of 9: Why don't you check a mouse hole for this one as well?
  • 3 of 9: In particular, try looking in the hole in the dungeon of the palace.
  • 4 of 9: Try catching the imp the same way that you did before.
  • 5 of 9: Tie a worm to the string from the toy shop and use the worm on the hole.
  • 6 of 9: This time, the worm is in a bottle in the Broken Drum.  Just ask for a drink of some of that stuff, and you'll get the worm with your drink.
  • 7 of 9: Now look at the rat that you caught.
  • 8 of 9: It's not really a rat.  It has a zipper down its back.
  • 9 of 9: Unzip the zipper (double-click on the imp in your inventory) and you have an imp!
