Discworld Hints

Where can I get some dragon's breath?

  • 1 of 10: Did you remember hearing that dragons were attracted to shiny objects?
  • 2 of 10: Try finding something shiny for the dragon.
  • 3 of 10: Something that might even get the dragon to breathe on it.
  • 4 of 10: There's a small mirror in the jester's dressing room in the palace that you can use.
  • 5 of 10: Now all you need to do is find a place from which you can attract the dragon.
  • 6 of 10: Something up high.
  • 7 of 10: Start by climbing on to the rooftop in the alley.  You can get there by standing on the square in the ground that glows when you step on it.
  • 8 of 10: Then, you can climb to the tower from the roof.  Just click on it to get there.
  • 9 of 10: Notice the knob at the end of the pole?
  • 10 of 10: You can hang the mirror from there.  When you do, the dragon will come to look at it and leave his breath on it.
