King's Quest VI Hints
How do I get swamp ooze?
1 of 12: It will help to find a container to hold it.
2 of 12: The proper container is described in the spell book from the book shop.
3 of 12: You need to get a teacup from the Garden (next to the swamp). It will appear on a chair as soon as you are ready to use it.
4 of 12: Now, try to fill the teacup with swamp ooze.
5 of 12: You need to take advantage of the sibling rivalry between the bump-on-a-log and the stick-in-the-mud.
6 of 12: Talk to the bump to see what he has to say about his brother.
7 of 12: What is something that you can throw at people you don't like?
8 of 12: Go to the Garden to find something.
9 of 12: Take the rotten tomato.
10 of 12: You might as well let the bump-on-a-log have a bit of fun.
11 of 12: Give the tomato to the bump and watch out to see what happens.
12 of 12: Scoop up the swamp ooze from near the bump.
