Discworld Hints
How do I get the magic coil?
1 of 16: This item is a bit hidden. You're going to have to look around for a while to find it.
2 of 16: Go to the barber, on the right side of the street.
3 of 16: Take a look at the woman in the chair.
4 of 16: She's having her hair rolled.
5 of 16: The roller in her hair is what you need.
6 of 16: You first need to get her to take it out of her hair.
7 of 16: Try talking her out of this hair style.
8 of 16: Just talk to her. But you need to do so after you look at the roller.
9 of 16: The barber will then put the roller in his pocket. Now you need to get it from him.
10 of 16: If only you knew a bit more about pickpocketing, you might be able to take it.
11 of 16: Talk to the lovable street starfish (a.k.a. urchin) in the square, and he'll teach you the skill.
12 of 16: Try pickpocketing the roller to take it out of the barber's pocket.
13 of 16: But you'll need to do so some time when he's a bit distracted.
14 of 16: Try talking to him.
15 of 16: Notice how he keeps thinking about "his" milkmaid.
16 of 16: When the thought bubble is still on the screen, use pickpocket, and he won't notice you.
