Discworld Hints
How do I get the chimney sweep's gold?
1 of 12: In case you haven't noticed already, the chimney sweep has a gold brush. That's what you need to take from him.
2 of 12: What you need to do here is create a little accident for him.
3 of 12: Like a nice explosion, for example.
4 of 12: You can find a keg of explosives in the crate next to the city gate.
5 of 12: You first want to get the chimney sweep to come over to the chimney above that fireplace and clean it, if he isn't there already. (My copy of the game had a bug where the sweep appeared to be in two locations at once, so I'm not really sure where he's supposed to be.)
6 of 12: You need to clog up the chimney.
7 of 12: Try using something that might even belong in a chimney, sort of.
8 of 12: Like the Santa-like toy from the sale bin in the toy shop.
9 of 12: You can't just throw the explosives in the fireplace (that would be too dangerous, of course), but use them on the fireplace to set them next to it.
10 of 12: Now create a fuse to light the explosives.
11 of 12: Use the string from the toy shop on the keg to run one outside.
12 of 12: And light the end of the string with a match. You should then be able to get the gold brush.
