I haven’t had much time to look for it yet.  I hope to get some connected time later this afternoon.

Well, how do you people progress thus far? Has anyone found the 2nd quest item yet?

Sorry, I haven’t really had time to play this part yet - I am however still in the CP and still expect/hope that I will meet the deadline, even if it might be in the last second.

Haven’t played all that much yet (been giving the Casual CPT a higher priority but that one’s finished now).

Got the talisman, and am halfway through the moustache.
Will probably get it this evening - I seem to remember more of this particular item hunt (probably something to do with the constant donkey cart remarks), so it shouldn’t take me long.

I also already have the spell and the camel-flage (found them through exploring - they’re not as hard to obtain as some of the other items)...

I have also got the moustache now.

Fortunately I already had already solved about 80% of this part, while looking for the talisman, and had almost every item in my inventory that I needed for this part, and had a pretty good idea of what I needed to do based on observations made during the last part. Pretty much all that there was left to do was some framing and cutting, so I completed this part in less that 1 hour

That damn dog (This is the famous Gaspode the wonder dog btw)!!

There was a note about him on the bulletin board (near the old farts at the city square) in the previous act.

IIRC, I think it boiled down to: “LOST! Small dog, answers to the name Gaspode. Very talkative. If found, keep.” but I could be misremembering things…

That note as well as seeing him here are two references that went over my head the first time I played this (pre-Discworld Noir), but it makes me wonder, though. His portrayal here looks nothing like his portrayal in Discworld Noir. Here he appears much more cartoony and clownish, but in Discworld Noir he was a snarky sarcastic dog that looked a lot more filthy as well…

Is this just one of the liberties they took for this game, or did his portrayal in the books change as well over time?

Tip 5: “Polly wants a cracker”. I had stumbled there for manty hours when I played the game for the first time. It appeared to be one of my biggest OMG moment ever when I realized what I had to do. Just give the damned bird what it wants!! It is smart and hillarious.

Now I remember! I was wondering when I was going to need the firecracker with the longest/slowest fuse ever as it’s been lit for two acts already. I remember thinking it was ingenious, but I had forgotten the details…

Ooh, right, this is also the part where we dangle off the Disc to retrieve an item that went over the edge. Loved that sequence!

So I take it that was their intent with this game: having this game serve as an introduction to the Discworld universe by using simpler (less developed) caricatural versions of characters?

Good thing it actually was my introduction to the Discworld universe, then.

I’ve been a little behind, I’ve had less time to play lately, but I finally managed to get the talisman and the moustache!

At first I thought we needed to somehow steal the moustache from the troll, but fortunately I re-read Sefirs tips and stopped spending so much time in the psychiatrickerist waiting room

Also, I didn’t find any scissors at first. I wanted to cut the donkey’s tail with the knife, but that didn’t work!

I even looked for a pair of scissors at the barber’s, but couldn’t find any. I thought to myself, isn’t there supposed to be a pair of scissors here? But then I concluded that no, that was Curse of MI.. Some time later though, I decided to have another look, and whaddyaknow, there they were! Not the first pixelhunt that has had me stumped this time around.

I need help getting the mustache.  I cleaned and read the license plate on the cart and tried to cut the donkey’s tail with the scissors.  Ouch!  After much to-ing and fro-ing and checking the hints here, I peeked at a walkthrough, and it told me to get the knife from the hovel.  The trouble is, I can’t get into the hovel again.  I thought I might have to go back to nighttime in L space, but that conversation doesn’t work anymore, despite the banana trick.  I also may have picked up the knife earlier in the game, but it’s not in either inventory, so it may have been something else I got from the hovel.  Any ideas?

Does this mean you no longer have the ladder with the bra attached to it?
