The Past with Hoagie
We are back with Hoagie in the past and have that plan for the super battery on us. And we have to give it to Red Edison.
But Hoagie should still be on the second floor of the mansion in Betsy's room. We are done here, get out into the hallway and enter the door on the
very right. This is
Ben Franklin's room and we grab his bottle of
wine.
Get out onto the hallway again and enter the
room on the left. Use George Washington's
bed to make it all messy, then use the
cord
to call for the maid. The messy bed keeps her busy so Hoagie can leave the room and steal the
soap from her cleaning supplies on her
cart.
That's it for here for now, get down the stairs and go looking for this Red
Edison fellow. Of course he is in his secret lab. And this is in the same location 200 years in the past. So step into the lobby
of the mansion and climb through the
grandfather clock to find
Red Edison in his
secret lab.
You can talk to this misunderstood genius if you want, but rather give him the
plans for the super battery and he will order you to bring
him salad oil, vinegar and gold. And this is Hoagies main task in the past for now. But while we are here we grab the
left handed hammer
to the left of Red Edison.
Climb up the stairs and get into the main hall with the constitutional fathers. Give
Thomas Jefferson the
wine and he will put it in
his time capsule, so some years later this will be vinegar, one of the ingredients needed.
Through the swinging door you reach the
kitchen. Pick up the
Spaghetti and the
Oil. Get
one room farther and grab the
bucket from the ground and
the
brush from out of the closet. Open it before grabbing the brush, otherwise you will hurt your hands. This storage room is completely empty and there
is nothing more you can do in this room anymore. So get back one room and
fill the bucket with water at the
water pump already. And while we're at it,
put the
soap you stole from the maid into the
bucket too. Now we could clean something with this, why not the carriage
in front of the mansion.
Get out there and
start brushing the carriage. Of course this starts a rainstorm and flashes come down. And Benjamin Franklin is not that happy with the
rainstorm, so he stops his electricity experiments and comes inside until he finds a better and waterproof material for his kite. So far so good, and while we
are out here at the carriage
open the mailbox and get the
letter inside. And now we need some help from Bernard.
Send the
letter from the mailbox and the
red paint to
Bernard, then switch to the present.
Bernard
Get down from that roof. Climb through the
chimney and look around.
Open that
grating
next to the fireplace and walk to the right. Don't get caught up
in an endless conversation with the salesman, just quit him, we can't do anything useful with him yet. But if you want you can ask him about the cigars
and watch Bernard's head explode for funz...
Continue even farther to the right in that mainhall and find the
chattering teeth.
Try to grab them and they will jump away. Mean beast!
Go
chase the teeth and corner
it so that it will fall
into the grating. What an easy prey it is now,
take the trapped teeth with you. Now get back into the
lobby.
Grab the
Help Wanted sign from the window and also the
flier in the foreground of the lobby.
Get
upstairs and enter the
middle door in the hallway. There is
Dwayne, the depressed salesman. He even fails at shooting himself, so what about cheering him
up there. Just give him the
letter Hoagie just found in the mailbox and he will leave at once and also leave the door open. Get the
flag gun
he left on the ground and get back into the
main hall to the
cigar salesman. Distract him for a moment and
swap the cigar lighter in gun form on the table
with the
flag gun, then
ask the salesman about the
cigars. He won't be able to light it with the flag gun, so you are now the proud owner of a new cigar.
Time to send stuff through time, so send your
textbook, the
chattering teeth, the
help wanted sign,
the
flier, the
cigar lighter and the
exploding cigar
to
Hoagie. Basically everything in Bernard's inventory if you follow this guide step by step...
Laverne
Actually you switch to
Hoagie and send his
can-opener to
Laverne first, then switch to
Laverne. Climb down that
chimney again if Laverne is still on the roof.
Then
get upstairs and enter the first door in the hallway, the
door on the left. In this room the historic time capsule is still on display. Probably the
last remaining thing left from when humans were in charge and not the tentacles. I wouldn't know why the tentacles would even keep that, but this is how
the story goes. And it goes like: open the
time capsule with the
can-opener and get the
vinegar that once was Benjamin Franklins wine.
Send the
vinegar back in time to
Hoagie and then switch to Hoagie already.
Hoagie
Time to get serious back in time. We already have the oil and the vinegar for the super battery, there is only the gold missing. And there is a
golden quill
at the politicians, so we might as well grab it from them. But it's not that easy. Get to them and while you are there throw the
flier from
the mansion lobby from the present
into the suggestion box in the past. This adds another paragraph to the constitution about vacuum cleaners and thus a
vacuum cleaner will appear in the future. But it will only be useful in the future.
Now offer
George Washington the
exploding cigar. He will gratefully accept the offer and get his teeth blown out if you also have the lighter on you.
He needs some replacement, so give
George Washington the
chattering teeth. His shaking teeth tells the other founding fathers that George Washington is cold and so they
light a fire. John Hancock takes off his
blanket, so take that with you and get upstairs, all the way to the
attic where you found the red paint.
Climb out of the
window onto the
roof of the mansion. The fire burns in the fireplace, what would happen if we cover that
chimney with a
blanket now?
Let's find out!
They all jump out of the window and you have the whole mainhall for yourself now. They won't come in any time soon, so get into the
mainhall and
and get your dirty hands on that
gold-plated quill pen. And all of a sudden we have all our ingredients for the super battery. And all of a sudden the founding
fathers appear back in the main hall. But don't let them get too close and leave.
Climb back down through the
grandfather clock to
Red Edison. Give him the
quill, the
vinegar and the
oil and he will instantly built the battery and
store it away. But after stealing the golden quill we should easily be able to pickpocket the
battery from Red Edison. And while we are down here with
Red
Edison hand him the
Help Wanted sign and he will employ you. As a scientist you need a lab coat, so pick up the
lab coat from the wall and there we have
a waterproof material Ben Franklin is longing for.
So get
upstairs to the very
right room and meet
Ben Franklin there. Hand him the
labcoat and he will invite you to join him 'inventing' electricity
with his kite.
Let's hope Benjamin's wet speech won't be a problem for this.
Once outside he tells you exactly what to do, but we have our own plans. As soon as you have the
kite in hand put that
battery into it and then wait for
Benjamin Franklin to
shout NOW! That's the agreed upon signal and you should just
push the
kite into the air and wait for nature to do the rest.
Ben Franklin will disappear and leave behind the fully charged
battery. Connect this battery to the
Chron-o-John and we are basically done with
Hoagie and the past. You still have to do minor things to get the other characters going but I will cover that once it is time for that within the
Walkthrough, so just read on!
