Space Quest V: The Next Mutation Hints
So how do I take care of W-D40?
1 of 12: First, I'd suggest looking around the area to see what resources you have.
2 of 12: Did you notice a boulder on the screen with the gap in the path?
3 of 12: It would be nice if you could crush W-D40 under that boulder.
4 of 12: If you notice, W-D40 will follow you just about everywhere you go.
5 of 12: And you should notice that the boulder would roll into the cave to the left of that gap if you pushed it.
6 of 12: If you're quick enough, that's where W-D40 will be when you push the boulder.
7 of 12: Now all you need to do is find something to free it.
8 of 12: There's really very little here. You may have to go out on a limb to do anything.
9 of 12: Well, I mean that literally. Take a look at the tree on the screen with the giant log.
10 of 12: Try walking on the tree to see what happens.
11 of 12: Don't worry, you now have a stick that can help you.
12 of 12: Climb up to the boulder as quickly as you can (try the hand icon on the boulder to get you there), and then use the stick on the boulder. If you get a message saying that timing is important, you waited too long. You need to leave the screen and make sure to walk through the cave to the left of the gap, to trigger her appearance again. Just keep trying until you get her.
