Discworld Hints

So what's the trick to getting into the palace this time?

  • 1 of 8: Depending on how you play the game, you may actually need two tricks.  I found that the palace closed up again after I entered it for the first time in this act.
  • 2 of 8: The first way to get in is just to do what you've done before.
  • 3 of 8: Use the other inkblot to start a fight between the guards.
  • 4 of 8: For the second way, remember that one of the guards is really sensitive about his wife's weight.
  • 5 of 8: You can probably use that to your advantage.
  • 6 of 8: The dibbler is selling a weight loss product.
  • 7 of 8: Yep, he's selling leaches.
  • 8 of 8: Offer them to the guards, and you'll be able to get through.
