Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints

How am I going to travel through time?

  • 1 of 17: Go and visit Elton the inventor.
  • 2 of 17: You can examine his various mysterious inventions including his strange statue, which turns out to be a robot.
  • 3 of 17: Ask Elton if you can use his time machine.
  • 4 of 17: He will refuse ...
  • 5 of 17: ... but if Gilbert nags him long enough (and maybe pokes around his apparatus), Elton will agree to demonstrate how the time machine works.
  • 6 of 17: Since there are some heavy boxes in front of the control panel, Elton commands his robot to lift/move them out of the way.
  • 7 of 17: But just as the robot starts to do this, the drive belt on its back snaps.
  • 8 of 17: To move those boxes and operate the control panel of the time machine, you'll need a new drive belt for the robot.
  • 9 of 17: Use the (replacement) belt on the robot and it removes the heavy box.
  • 10 of 17: Now Elton can demonstrate his time machine.
  • 11 of 17: But it malfunctions, and Elton never returns.
  • 12 of 17: Also, the time machine appears to be damaged -- Gilbert notices a broken spring lying next to it.
  • 13 of 17: Pick up the broken spring.
  • 14 of 17: Gilbert won't be able to use the time machine until it's fixed.
  • 15 of 17: Go to Elton's.
  • 16 of 17: Put the spring into the time machine.
  • 17 of 17: Use the control panel.  You're off to Madame Zyz, but 10 years into the future.
