What can I do about that chain that appeared all of a sudden?
According to the message on the Bulletin Board, you need to pull it.
--
But it seems you're not strong enough to pull it yourself.
--
There is someone around who should be strong enough, though.
--
Someone who has the deserved reputation of being strong, resilient and hard-working.
--
Have you said hi to the MULE yet?
--
He's in the Stables, right where the Travel Agency will later be.
--
If only you could somehow take him to the Clock Tower.
--
Mules are also known to be obstinate, though.
--
You'll have to make it worth his while.
--
There is something right under the chain you could use, as so happens.
--
A trough.
--
Why not fill it with a delicious SNACK for your friend?
--
Now where can you find delicious mule feed?
--
Have you tried the Dry Goods Store?
--
Take a handful of Special Mule Treat from the barrel near the exit.
--
Now fill the trough with Mule Treat, and walk away.
--
Hopefully he will notice soon.
--
Return to the Clock Tower to find the mule is already munching away.
--
Now would be a good opportunity to attach the chain to his harness.
--
The hook doesn't quite reach.
--
Can you use something to connect it?
--
Something that has already come in unexpectedly handy?
--
The eight! Of course!
--
If you're not allowed to use the eight yet, it's because you will still need it. You don't want to run the risk of breaking it. Come back after you have used the eight one more time.
--
Use the eight on the chain to attach it to the mule's harness.
--
Job done. Even if it was completely by accident. The time adapter is now engaged.
