Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints

How can I get the VIP-card from Lipton?

  • 1 of 14: Lipton talks and talks and talks.
  • 2 of 14: Maybe you can distract him somehow.
  • 3 of 14: Get him to describe his "great battles".
  • 4 of 14: Make sure he mentions his wonderful "unnamed" tea, and ask him if he's tasted it.
  • 5 of 14: He'll need a special filter for drinking that unnamed tea.
  • 6 of 14: Give the filter to Lipton and see what happens.
  • 7 of 14: He'll give Gilbert the key to the tea cabinet; and the unnamed tea is ready for drinking.
  • 8 of 14: But Lipton will only drink the bitter tea it if it's sweetened, to make it palatable.
  • 9 of 14: Give Lipton the honey.
  • 10 of 14: But the tea is still too bitter and Lipton spits it out.
  • 11 of 14: Seems you're going to have to *really* tranquilize the old geezer!   
  • 12 of 14: Looks like you're going to need something to put Lipton to sleep!
  • 13 of 14: In inventory, mix the sleeping powder with the honey.
  • 14 of 14: Give the drugged honey to Lipton.  That knocks him out.
