How to find the 9 golden carrots - Ferris Muellers Day Off complete walkthrough (Part 1)

Ferris Mueller's Day Off is the new game from Forever Lost developer Glitch Games.

It's a bizarre parody of Ferris Bueller's Day Off in which Glitch Games replaces Matthew Broderick with a green donkey.

It's also a complicated puzzle game filled with all sorts of cryptic clues, crazy riddles, and obtuse brainteasers that will leave even the smartest gamers desperately searching for a walkthrough.

Which is exactly what we have here. In this complete guide, we will tell you how to find all nine golden carrots. We'll also explain how we arrived at each answer.

Check out Part 2 of this walkthrough here.

Chapter 1 (Golden Carrot 8)



This first golden carrot is very easy to find. Just walk into the saloon and take it from the desk.

Chapter 2 (Golden Carrot 9)



The next golden carrot is inside the locked guitar case on the Mane Stage inside the saloon. We will, however, need three wooden shapes to open it.

First, go to the house on the hill and look inside the drawer in the hallway. Take the token from the drawer.



Go to the hotel and go into the kitchen. Use the token on the gumball machine to get one of the wooden shapes.



Look at the box on the table in the hotel foyer. Tap the squares to rotate them until they all form the image shown above. The box will open - you'll find a wooden shape inside.



Go to the village hall (the building to the right of the house and Calamari Desert). Look at the bulletin board and take one of the "Tearable Puns".



Talk to the jester in the hotel and find out what's wrong. He's looking for a joke, so give him the Tearable Pun and he'll give you a wooden shape for your trouble.



Go to the saloon, go upstairs, and enter the door that reads "Mane Stage". Look at the guitar case and place the three wooden shapes in the three indentations.

The case will open, and you'll get a golden carrot.

Chapter 3 (Golden Carrot 6)



Talk to the barman in the saloon about the Red Charge recipe. He'll tell you that it's in a box in the general store, and the combination is inside book six of the Ultimate Triangle Collection.

Go to the house, and go through the small green door at the end of the hallway. Look at the rack of books, open book number "nine", and take a photo of the pattern inside.



Go into the general store and look at the box. Say you're good at puzzles to open the puzzle screen.

The answer is shown above, which is derived from turning the pattern in book number "nine" upside down (because it's actually number six).

When the box opens up, take the golden carrot and the Red Charge Recipe.

Chapter 4 (Golden Carrot 1)



Give the Red Charge recipe to the barman in the saloon. According to the recipe, we need 73 exploding berries, a handful of blue baking flour, and a heap of gunpowder.



Look at the piano in the saloon. Play the keys in the order shown above.

How did we get this order? First, look at the "how to fake an illness" poster in the town hall to get a list of noises and their colours.

Press the different keys on the piano to know which noises (and thus colours) are associated with each key. Then, play the keys in the order of the rainbow stripes on the painting above the piano.

The top will spring open. You can take the spade card.



Go to the garden behind the house and take the carrots from the ground. Go into Rent-A-Mule and give the carrots to the salesman to get the mule.



Go into the house. Take the shrub from the hallway. Then, go upstairs and through the green door. Look in the bath and take the seal.



Go into the alley between the saloon and the bank and look at the canteen. Place the seal in the hole and grab the canteen.



Go into the town hall, open the hatch on the right side of the stage, and take the pump handle.



Outside Rent-A-Mule, place the pump handle on the pump and the canteen on the log. Pump the handle to fill the canteen with water.



Look at the wagon and use your mule on the sign to travel to Pebble Ridge.

Go to the sacred plots area and use the spade card on plot three. Plant your shrub - within a few seconds, it will be covered with berries. Take them.



Go into the town hall and look at the cupboard on the left. Rotate the pairs of coloured flowers like above (it's to match the coloured spokes of the wagon wheel).

When the cupboard door opens, take the gardening scissors from inside.



Go to the Calamari Desert and use the scissors to cut the blue flowers (you're told all about them in the book titled "The Great Outdoors" in the hotel bedroom).



There's a strip of symbols hidden in the grass by the wagon wheel. Take it.



Go into the back room of the house. Place the strip of symbols on the door and then move them into the position you see in the image above.

Curious about how we came to this answer?

It's easy: just look at the flash cards on the table upstairs. By saying the letter and the word, you'll make new words like:

1. H + Eel = Heel (shoe)
2. He + Art = Heart (heart symbol)
3. Li + Bra = Libra (libra symbol)
4. Blank
5. B + Owl = bowl (steaming bowl)

Inside the cupboard, take the pestle and put the blue flowers in the mortar. Use the pestle on the flowers to grind them into blue baking flour.



Look at the door inside the wagon. Rotate the dials so that they end up in the positions shown in the image above.

How did we figure it out? You'll see the same symbols on the "WAGE ONE" sheet inside the bank.

Only, look at the symbols under the letters WAG ON (Circle, Pentagon, Trapezoid, Pentagon, Circle) and make the dials point at those symbols in that order.

Take a handful of gunpowder from behind the door.



Give the gunpowder, the baking flour, and the exploding berries to the barman. He'll give you some Red Charge. Take it.



Look at the wall of the bank from inside the alley. Place the Red Charge can on the floor to blow up the wall. Take the key and make a note of the symbols on the piece of paper.



Place the key in the keyhole. Move the latches in the manner shown above (based on the direction of the arrows on the piece of paper we just found).

Turn the key to open the safe and get the golden carrot.
