Point-and-click puzzle-solving RPGs are my favorite genre of PC games. There are some brilliant examples, from Monkey Island to Broken Sword, but few have more charm and spectacular artwork than Machinarium. But its looks are combined with some really clever gameplay, so if you’re stuck somewhere, read on for part two of my full Machinarium walkthrough.
Machinarium Walkthrough Part 2 – All Puzzle Solutions
This part of the guide begins right after you have looked through the telescope in the prison and left the prison building to take the elevator after finding Berta. If you’re looking for events before or after this, check out my Machinarium Complete Walkthrough hub page for links.

I suggest saving the game every time you appear in a new scene. I found that some of the puzzles can have a few bugs, so it’s good to have a recent save to load up if something goes wrong. The elevator puzzle below failed me when I tried to reset it, for example, as did moving the oil container in the water.
the red umbrella
Walk to the right of the red boxes (a1) and push them to the left. When they are at the far left of the screen, push them once more and you will be taken to a new screen. Speak to red robot (b1) discover that he will trade his umbrella for the safe return of his robot dog.
Now click on the panel here (b2) and press the middle row of buttons (see image below) in the following order: 5-3-2-4-6-7-5-3-1-2-4-6-5-3-4. Once this is done, the above mechanism should start moving (c1) to show that it is working. Click on the yellow lever on the left (c2) to lower it and grab the top red box, then again to lift it into the air. If you make any mistakes, you can click the red button on the right (c3) of the device to reset the buttons.
Now that there is only one red box, push it to the right to where he was outside the jail (a1). Click on the stone (a2) to climb onto it, then do the same with the single red box (a1).

This will add the dog to your inventory. If you are too slow and it has moved behind the cannon, you will have to try again.

She uses the fly paper on the gunge (e3) to catch some flies, then she goes back to the bar and uses them on the bartender (f1). Quickly drag the oil barrel (f7) and give it to the drummer (e4). This causes the lady above to throw the second pot from her, after which you can pick up the Plant from in front of the band.
Go up the stairs at the back of the scene (e5). You can’t enter the door in the next scene, so continue up the stairs to the clock tower.
