The Mystery of the Mummy Hints
Where can I find some oil?
1 of 10: It is highly likely that a laboratory such as this would have some oil somewhere.
2 of 10: It might not be out in the open, though.
3 of 10: You'll need to look in some places that won't be immediately obvious.
4 of 10: Check closely around the workbench in the middle of the room.
5 of 10: Move to the aisle between the workbench and the bookcase.
6 of 10: Look around on the floor.
7 of 10: You'll need to "get down" a bit for this one.
8 of 10: Look for a spot, slightly away from the table (it won't be in the shadow of the table), where there is a pointing-hand cursor pointing towards the floor. (Note: to stand up, after getting the oil, look for another pointing hand cursor. It is located around the area of the handles on the bookcase beside the table.)
9 of 10: Check carefully under the workbench.
10 of 10: There is an oil flask on the floor under the workbench (near the right table legs).
