Infidel Hints
How do I get light?
1 of 13: You'll need to get the torch on the wall, and light it. Easier said than done.
2 of 13: First, open up the matchbook.
3 of 13: Get a match.
4 of 13: Close it, to avoid burning the book (if you do burn the book, restore a game. You really need that matchbook!)
5 of 13: Now, you could try lighting the torch, but it wouldn't work.
6 of 13: The torch needs something flammable so it stays lit.
7 of 13: Look in the jar for a hint.
8 of 13: That looks like oil, doesn't it?
9 of 13: Dip the torch in the jar.
10 of 13: Light the match.
11 of 13: And then light the torch with the match.
12 of 13: You will probably need to do this a couple times in the game.
13 of 13: Remember to get a match from the matchbook first, and extinguish the flame!
