Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints

How do I obtain a false nose?

  • 1 of 17: Walk to Tommy, the sad boy standing next to the toy machine on the Town Square.
  • 2 of 17: Talk (as much as you can) with him.
  • 3 of 17: He tells Gilbert that his dad gave him some money to spend on the toy machine.  The boy says he hoped to get a super-deluxe slingshot.  But instead, he only won a big ugly rubber false nose.
  • 4 of 17: If Gilbert can help the little boy get a super-deluxe slingshot, he will get the crummy fake nose.
  • 5 of 17: Get the slingshot from the toy machine!  But how?
  • 6 of 17: Perhaps Gilbert can break open the toy machine somehow.  With his bare hands?
  • 7 of 17: Maybe you can get help from ABOVE the toy machine?
  • 8 of 17: Open the nearby door and go up to the tower. 
  • 9 of 17: Talk to ("Mad") Pete Fedurski.
  • 10 of 17: There's lots of VERY amusing things you can do there, if you have the time, interest and inclination.
  • 11 of 17: Back and talk with Tommy.
  • 12 of 17: Eventually he'll tell you how to trick Crazy Pete into firing his cannon.
  • 13 of 17: Return to Pete.
  • 14 of 17: Whenever you can, inform him "Look!  There's a Viking ship!"  You may have to repeat this a few times.  With enough prompting he'll fire his cannon like mad and also drop his sword.
  • 15 of 17: Pick up the sword.
  • 16 of 17: Use the sword as a lever to push the loose stone over the edge.  This crushes the toy machine!
  • 17 of 17: Go down and pick up the (big rubber) false nose that Tommy left behind. You'll also (automatically) get a bottle of soap bubble liquid as a sort of "consolation prize".
