Runaway: A Road Adventure Hints
How do I get Mariola's tanning oil?
1 of 14: She won't let you borrow it, until she's satisfied with her tan.
2 of 14: Perhaps you could speed the tanning process up a bit.
3 of 14: Or at least, you could make her think that it's sped up.
4 of 14: Notice the sunglasses she's wearing. She looks through them when checking out her tan.
5 of 14: The glasses look pretty light. You might be able to use this observation to devise a way to trick her.
6 of 14: If she put on some darker sunglasses, she might think that it's actually her tan that's gotten darker.
7 of 14: If you had some darker sunglasses, you could swap them with hers when she's not looking.
8 of 14: There are some spare sunglasses in the front of the bus, near the other jewelry.
9 of 14: Unfortunately, they're no darker than Mariola's own sunglasses. You need to darken them somehow.
10 of 14: Perhaps you could cover them with some dark substance.
11 of 14: Oil is dark.
12 of 14: Use the sunglasses with the puddle of oil, near the oil rig (it's blue-colored).
13 of 14: Use your darkened sunglasses with Mariola's lighter pair (you may have to wait until she sets them down). You should now be able to take advantage of your handiwork.
14 of 14: Try to take the bottle of oil. Since Mariola thinks she's done tanning, she'll let you have it.
