The Mystery of the Mummy Hints
Where do I get a bag of gunpowder?
1 of 10: Actually, you don't; they are two separate items that you well need to find, and combine.
2 of 10: The bag is the one that Parkey was carrying when he interrupted you in the Treasure Room.
3 of 10: You should have picked up the bag before leaving that room (it's located near the door).
4 of 10: As for the gunpowder, how is gunpowder often packaged and shipped?
5 of 10: Often in large crates, or casks -- which look remarkably like wine casks.
6 of 10: Check around the wine cellar, after leaving Jonathan Parkey in the treasure room.
7 of 10: One of the casks by the wall shows an active cursor icon on it.
8 of 10: To find the gunpowder cask -- take one step into the room (from where you entered with the rope). Look for a cask leaning against the wall. Locate a plug on the left side of the leaning cask.
9 of 10: Click on the plug in that cask to see gunpowder -- not wine -- pour out of it.
10 of 10: Click on the gunpowder to pick it up and put it into Parkey's bag.
