Machinarium Hints

How can I return the pink robot's pet?

  • 1 of 10: If you haven't found the pet yet, explore a little until it turns up.
  • 2 of 10: It's on the far right of the screen at the right side of the tower, on the other side of the water beside the buoy.
  • 3 of 10: You're going to need to find a way to pull it over here.
  • 4 of 10: Perhaps some of the items you found inside the prison would be useful?
  • 5 of 10: You can combine items in your inventory, remember.
  • 6 of 10: Combine the rope gun with the plunger and try to catch the pet robot with it from the far side of the water.
  • 7 of 10: No good? It looks like he's hiding behind that can. Perhaps we can lure him out into the open so that we can catch him unhindered.
  • 8 of 10: Once the pet is drinking the oil, use your plunger-gun again to catch him.
  • 9 of 10: You can then just go and give him back to the owner.
  • 10 of 10: She will give you her umbrella in return, meaning you can pass the dripping water and go onto the next screen.
