Hello, I'm playing good old Discworld:

S

P

O

I

L

E

R

S

P

A

C

E

I'm at the end of act III. I got all the things I needed to complete the
act and challenge the dragon:

1 - Sword fixed by the dwarf
2 - Magic Amulet taken in Offler's Temple
3 - Camelflage (Soot, not in man's shape anymore but in a little mount)
4 - Tattoo
5 - Moustaches from donkey's tail
6 - Spellbook from the Unseen University

But it won't go to the last act.
WHY???!?
I read the walkthroughs, but according to them i should be taken right
away the the next act, but that somehow doesn't happen.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Going by memory (it was a while ago, so I may be wrong), you should
visit the town square, where the final events will unfold.

If you've really done everything, just walk off whichever screen you're on,
and you'll be taken straight to the market square. Oh, have you seen the
psychiatrickerist a second time? I think he gives you a catchphrase to
say, but I always thought that scene was optional.

Is it a million to one chance that just might work?

Hi ....

I remember getting stuck here myself. It matters "where you are" when you
load Mambo.
The UHS Hints walkthrough explains it very well. www.uhs-hints.com

Cheers.

I was having the exact same problem!

I know this reply is a little late in relation to the question, however (hopefully) for the benefit of others following walkthroughs/FAQs - this will save one or two of you guys a few hours of meaningless googling...

1) Make sure the "Camel-flage" is crumbled up so its now soot (double-click on it in the inventory).

2) On obtaining the last required item (6 in total - last one should be the spellbook), make sure you're in the library AND exit via the door (NOT through the secret bookshelf passage!!).


Enjoy...
