Discworld Hints

And what about the fool's gold?

  • 1 of 12: You first need to get into the palace.
  • 2 of 12: It may not be obvious, but the fool's cap has some gold on it.
  • 3 of 12: You'll need to get him to take off his cap.
  • 4 of 12: A fool and his money are soon parted, but he and his cap aren't.  In fact, the fool doesn't ever take his cap off in front of an audience.
  • 5 of 12: But he probably doesn't want to get it wet, either.
  • 6 of 12: So if he were to take a bath, then he might take it off.
  • 7 of 12: You can get him rather dirty with the right item.
  • 8 of 12: There's a garbage can around the back of Unseen University.  Use that on the fool.
  • 9 of 12: Now go into the dressing room to take the cap.  The only problem is that Chucky won't let you get past him.
  • 10 of 12: You're going to have to keep him from seeing you.
  • 11 of 12: Try putting something in the bath to block Chucky's view of you.
  • 12 of 12: Use the bubble bath from the inn, and you can then take the cap.
