Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints
How can I get hold of the pirates' shovel?
1 of 5: Talk to the pirates.
2 of 5: Particularly the pirate captain.
3 of 5: Carry on talking to him.
4 of 5: Eventually Gilbert will rile him with "You guys aren't really pirates at all, are you?" He taunts them as looking like geeks with glasses (spectacles), until eventually they throw them onto the ground. Now they can hardly see *anything*.
5 of 5: Pick up the shovel (without the pirates knowing!).
