Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints
How can I get the fisherman's knife?
1 of 5: Talk with the old man and ask him to tell you a good fishing story.
2 of 5: Look at the shark's mouth (and teeth) hanging above him. Apparently that wasn't a shark but a giant puffer-fish!
3 of 5: Keep asking him to tell you a story, particularly the one about Bearded Bart the Blasphemer and his pirate treasure.
4 of 5: Eventually the old man will fall asleep and the pocketknife will drop from his hand. If it doesn't, leave the scene and return immediately -- you'll probably find that he has dozed off in the meantime!
