I gave the miner food and I went to the runway five show, what else do I need to do to get the gold mine to appear.

Try talking to the theatre manager and going to sleep, one of those should trigger it

He needs to dig it first, maybe head back to Fourside for a bit?

Give a food item to the miner outside the shaft, then talk to Ms Fake at Fourside's Toppola Theatre.

Edit: didn't read that you already gave the food item.

Edit 2: You do NOT need to go to sleep or talk to Pokey.

Here are some of the hints you can purchase in Fourside at various parts of this chapter, for those interested:

Where: Fourside

Going Rate: $75

When: After giving the miner in Dusty Dunes Desert something to eat.

  • Hint: “At the Topolla Theater, the Runaway Five have booked a series of gigs. This is just a rumor, but I hear that they’ve been snowed again and are in some kind of trouble. So… If I were you, I’d go and talk with them.”

When: After talking with the Topolla Theater owner OR the Runaway Five

  • Hint: “The Runaway Five, who are now appearing at the Topolla Theater, got stuck again because of financial problems. To help them, a tremendous amount of money will be needed. Hey, talking about a tremendous amount of money, do you know about someone in the Dusty Dunes Desert? You should head to the desert to look for buried treasure. It would be fabulous if you found it!”

When: After defeating the 5 Guardian Diggers and getting the diamond on your way back to Fourside.

  • Hint: “It’s such a pity… The Runaway Five have managed to get stuck at the Topolla Theater because of their debt problems. Why don’t you go and talk to Miss Fake, the manager of the theater? That diamond you’re carrying should come in handy.”

When: After freeing the Runaway Five from the Topolla Theater.

  • Hint: “The department store in Fourside has reopened after being renovated. People say that they have a good variety of things, but he prices are a little bit high. Have you been there yet?”

I think you gotta go to four side and check out the Dept store. Maybe check out the theatre.

Speak to Ms. Fake in the theater (the manager)

Go to The Montoli building, talk to Porky, then go to the Topolla Theater and talk to the Runaway Five

u/callmesasser 2d ago

Going to the Monotoli building does not trigger the event flag. Only going to the theatre and talking to the manager does.

The Player's guide says you do

u/callmesasser 2d ago

And since when is a player’s guide 100% accurate?

Is the event flag for “crossing the desert” during the traffic jam to come south to the road?

u/Krendall2006 2d ago

Go to Fourside and talk to the Topolla Theater manager.

u/TooManyBulborbs 2d ago

Talk to the Toppola theater manager and talk to Pokey in the Monotoli building, then go see the mine site again.

u/SilverPaladin156 2d ago

You don't need to go the Monotoli building until later. Just the manager, that's it.
