The Longest Journey Hints

How do I get the guard to leave?

  • 1 of 10: Talk to him.
  • 2 of 10: The dust is making him cough.
  • 3 of 10: Maybe you could use that to your advantage.
  • 4 of 10: Try giving him something to drink.
  • 5 of 10: Well, you need to do more than give him plain soda.  You need the soda to do some damage.
  • 6 of 10: Remember that his suit is very high-tech.  The cop might not like it if his suit were wet.
  • 7 of 10: The suit might get wet if you shook the soda enough.
  • 8 of 10: Use a certain machine to do so.
  • 9 of 10: Use the paint mixing machine outside Burns' workshop.
  • 10 of 10: Now, all you have to do is offer the drink to the cop -- use the Bingo! with him.
