Saloon
After entering the saloon, talk to the card players. Pick up the card from the floor and show it to the players. After they are taken away, talk to the musician but he won't play requests as he is too thirsty. Head right and call the barman - order a double and make sure you catch the glass (if you miss it, just order another drink and try again).
Return left and offer the drink to the musician, but a fly will quickly drink it first. Return to the barman and get another drink, then drink it yourself. When the fly lands on your nose, shoot the light in the background to eventually hit the fly. Order yet another drink from the barman, then go and offer this one to the musician. Now ask him to play something nice and mellow. Talk to Wanda, then head back outside.
Talk to Jack, asking about the mine. He needs some tobacco to clear his mind. Head down to the main street, and you will see an overview of the whole town.
Stinky Town
Go to the general store and head inside. Pick up the blue handkerchief from the floor. Talk to Mr Mole to get some tobacco, and also ask about the girl who dropped the handkerchief - say you want to return it yourself and ask if she has money trouble. Now leave the store again.
Return to the saloon. Give the tobacco to Jack and listen to his story to learn about the mine. Next go to the bank. Head inside and offer the handkerchief to Melissa. At the end of the conversation, offer to take her home.
When you return to the town, go to the blacksmith to tie up your horse. Next go to the joiner. Examine the cart on the right, then take a nail from it (very small, above the near wheel on the right). Now head to the undertaker. Read the sign and examine the flowers, then take a chrysanthemum. Examine the hearse on the right, then use your nail on the hearse cushions to get some cotton. Knock on the window to meet the undertaker.
Return to the saloon and go inside. Offer the chrysanthemum to Wanda. At the end of the conversation, say you will teach him, then quickly shoot the coin while it is in the air. Now leave the saloon.
Go back to the blacksmith and ride your horse. Go to the left side of town, then you will be able to choose the mine off in the distance.
Mine
Enter the mine to meet up with your friend Boom Boom. Talk to him until he leaves, then exit the mine again by going left. Return to town.
Stinky Town
Tie up your horse at the blacksmith. Head to the general store again. Talk to Mr Mole to get some beans, then leave and visit the sheriff. Speak with the sheriff outside. Return to the blacksmith and ride your horse back to the mine.
Mine
Enter the mine and cook your beans at the campfire just inside the mine entrance. Now use your fan on the beans to lure Boom Boom back out towards you. After he eats the beans and falls asleep, try to take the nugget. Leave the mine and return to town again.
Stinky Town
Tie up your horse at the blacksmith again. Next visit the barber. Talk to the barber and ask for some information, then ask for chloroform, saying you have a toothache. Go back to the blacksmith and ride back to the mine.
Mine
Enter the mine and approach Boom Boom. Combine the chloroform and cotton in your inventory, then use this on Boom Boom. Now you can safely take the nugget. Leave the mine and head back to town.
Stinky Town
Leave your horse at the blacksmith, then go to the bank. Head inside and show the gold nugget to the teller - you will end up with some money. Leave the bank and enter the general store. Pay your money to Mr Mole, then take the cake from the counter. Go back outside and get your horse from the blacksmith. Ride further to the right, then you will be able to choose to head to the farm.
Farm
Offer the cake to the front of the ranch and you will be invited inside. After some cutscenes you will end up back at the mine.
Mine
Enter the mine and go right to speak with Boom Boom. You will end up riding in a mine cart and must click to choose the correct directions in this order (this starts again from the top if you make a mistake):
- Right
- Left
- Left
- Right
- Right
You will eventually end up deep within the mine. Look at the hole in the wall behind Tequila, and you will end up controlling Boom Boom. Go right, up, right and down, then pick up the pick-axe. Return right, up and left 3 times. After a series of cutscenes you will end up back outside the mine.
Stinky Town
Go to the blacksmith and tie up your horse, then head inside. Talk to the blacksmith, then talk again very quickly before he starts work - ask about the other horse outside. Leave here and return into the saloon. Talk to Wanda (if it seems to get stuck here, click at the very bottom left to continue the conversation). Keep talking to her until she mentions all the property that Mr Vyle owns. Next head right to the bar and talk to the bartender. Answer "no" to his offer of a drink and he will give you a whole bottle of alcohol.
Go back outside and visit the sheriff. Talk to him about what happened at the farm. Next head to the saddler and go inside. Try to take the rope on the right and say you don't have two dollars - you can take the rope.
Head to the blacksmith. Ride your horse out of town to the right and head to the Rattlesnake Ranch.
Rattlesnake Ranch
Give your bottle of alcohol to the horse, and you will end up reaching a cemetery. Throw your rope over the tree branch, then go over to the sheep in the cave. You now need to survive a shoot-out, by clicking on the silhouettes as they appear. You will eventually end up back outside the ranch. Talk to Brutus and watch the final cutscenes.
