Jazz & Faust Hints

How do I steal the crystal back?

  • 1 of 6: First you'll need some help.
  • 2 of 6: Get the boy by the fountain to help you.
  • 3 of 6: Then you'll need something to leave in place of the crystal to fool the trader long enough to let you get away.
  • 4 of 6: Assume the trader is color-blind, half-drunk, and a whole lot dumber than he looks. What do you have in inventory that has a glassy composition?
  • 5 of 6: You kept the broken bottle from the bar. Yes, I know it's farfetched.
  • 6 of 6: Once the boy is talking to the trader, use the broken bottle from the bar on the right side of the trader's stand. You now have the crystal back.
