Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints

How can Gilbert endure the feather torture?

  • 1 of 9: Gilbert will have to find something to protect the soles of his feet from the tickling.
  • 2 of 9: Walk to the tourist information and talk to Helga (the masculine/feminine Viking).
  • 3 of 9: Helga has some face cream.  Maybe that will help?
  • 4 of 9: But Helga won't part with it.
  • 5 of 9: Helga will talk about how hairy his legs are and how he'd like them to be smooth.
  • 6 of 9: Now both legs are fine and Helga's overjoyed.  He/she presents Gilbert with the bottle of face cream.
  • 7 of 9: Use the face cream -- Gilbert applies it to his feet (not his face!) where it stiffens into hard layers, like wooden socks.
  • 8 of 9: Tell the executioner you were not ready last time and want another try at the feather torture.
  • 9 of 9: This time you don't feel a thing!  You win, and the executioner is forced to give Gilbert his big feather.
