Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints

What can I do in Phungoria?

  • 1 of 8: When Gilbert arrives at the Town Square, princess Michelle tells him that the Sheriff plans on having his grandfather executed in the evening!
  • 2 of 8: She also tells him what he should do to help/save his grandfather.
  • 3 of 8: Gilbert has to masquerade as the King; and as such, later on that evening, postpone the execution.
  • 4 of 8: Continue talking to Michelle as long as necessary.  You can try flirting with her if you like!
  • 5 of 8: Michelle told you that you need a bigger nose, a robe (or cloak), a crown, and something to "make you look bigger".

    If you forget later, just get a reminder by looking at the collector's card. (It's in your inventory -- Michelle handed it to you.)

    N.B.  There is an apparent logic-anomaly here -- the collector's card shows the King as very bearded, but Gilbert is, and remains clean shaven!
  • 6 of 8: OK -- Gilbert now has all the items necessary to pass himself off as the King.
  • 7 of 8: Simply add inventory objects to the (red cloak) unfinished "King disguise".
  • 8 of 8: You will need to attach (in any order) the paper crown with wire, the fake nose and the stuffed pillow.

    You now possess your *full* "King disguise", and two fairly lengthy cut-scenes will automatically start playing, one after the other.
