Timequest Hints

How do I convince Charlemagne to accept his crown?

  • 1 of 15: You can't put on a magic show in front of him as a miracle.
  • 2 of 15: You'll need to create a more subtle miracle for him to see.
  • 3 of 15: You need to visit Peking, 1940 AD.
  • 4 of 15: Step out into the street and watch the fighting for a while.
  • 5 of 15: Take the Molotov cocktail that fails to explode.
  • 6 of 15: You might want to repair the cocktail.
  • 7 of 15: It would help if you pulled out the stopper.
  • 8 of 15: That liquid is ether.  Do you know what ether is also used for?
  • 9 of 15: It can be used as an anesthetic.
  • 10 of 15: Pour some onto the handkerchief.  Now, you can put someone to sleep.
  • 11 of 15: Go into the chapel and COVER PRIEST WITH HANKY.
  • 12 of 15: Run out with the crown before it's too late.
  • 13 of 15: You must now convince Napoleon to go to Egypt.  (See Rome, 1798 AD.)
  • 14 of 15: Once you've done that, you will have to recover Charlemagne's crown. (See the questions in Cairo, 1798 AD, on how to find it.)
  • 15 of 15: Now, take it back to Rome and leave it in the chapel.  Wait until noon.
