An Idiots Guide To Chemistry, The Seminar

By Kenny

For those without a brain who chose to take chemistry. I'm looking mainly at myself and my multi hour attempt to figure out what the ♥♥♥♥ I was making. THIS DOES NOT GO INTO THROWING ROCKS INTO A RIVER (just throw some rocks in the river at the bridge).

What You Need And Only What You Need To Continue

The Chemistry System is quite painful since you have to do chemistry the "Ol' Fashion Way" by combining chemicals to make something that might be useful. This guide is meant to both help people progress through the chemistry class and give a list of what you can make with the machine (I forgot what its called). Here is what you need to pass and what you should do with it.

Step 1: Make Options 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 to make a Vellum Softener Juice
Step 2: Use Vellum Softener on Book
Step 3: Read the book
Step 4: Talk to the Professor about the missing Ingredient
Step 5: Go to The Hilbert House and find the Arsenic in room 3B
Step 6: Make Options 3132 to make Bronze Revivifying Juice
Step 7: In the room outside the main chemistry room use the juice on the statue
Step 8: With new companion use machine (or book I can't remember) back in the main Chemistry room
Step 9: Talk to the Professor again about the new missing ingredient
Step 10: Go to Ocean City
Step 11: Go to Soda Factory

Step 12: Get the Lithium with a stat check
Step 13: Make Options 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 to make Chrome Polishing Juice
Step 14: Profit

If you are here you want to learn the chemistry board with a cheat sheet and I suffered to make this so congrats I guess?
To make a certain Chemical Mixture Juice use the first 2 numbers for the Material and the later 2 for what the concoction will do.
Material
11xx = Bologna
12xx = Umbraline
13xx = Chalk
14xx = Barnacle
21xx = Vellum !!
22xx = Asbestos
23xx = Rubber
24xx = Corduroy
31xx = Bronze !!!
32xx = Glass
33xx = Smoke
34xx = Sandwich
41xx = Chrome !!!!
42xx = Gold
43xx = Leather
44xx = Hair

What It Does
xx11 = Bleach
xx12 = Softener !!
xx13 = Deodorizing
xx14 = Loosening
xx21 = Straightening
xx22 = Purifying
xx23 = Polishing !!!!
xx24 = Bending
xx31 = Strengthening
xx32 = Revivifying !!!
xx33 = Removing
xx34 = Annihilating
xx41 = Insulting
xx42 = Doubling
xx43 = Thickening
xx44 = Dissolving

Using Chemicals To Beat The Game

Ok after some testing it seems that you can beat the game with these chemicals if you happen to have umbraline annihilator while having fixed the professor's (companion) sense of smell. This is options 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

Thank you so much for this guide! I wish there was a way in game other than trial and error to get these answers :(

So, I was an idiot and was trying to figure out the chemistry course. In the course of that, I've used up all the arsenic and dumped it before googling how to pass this stupid course. Where can I find more, or am I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ for this run of the game?

If anyone is still having trouble finding the soda factory make sure you've read that you need lithium from the vellum book then asked the chemicals teacher where you can find it.
