Recap / Moshi Monsters Gustbusters

Gustbusters is the twenty-fifth Moshi Monsters mission and the fifth mission of Season Three.

Part One Recap

It begins in the Volcano. Elder Furi is telling you that there are reports of an odd smell causing monsters to fall asleep on Sludge Street that may have something to do with the strange green cloud.

On Sludge Street, there are green clouds everywhere and Dewey, Tamara, Mizz Snoots and Raarghly are asleep. Click to walk past and you find yourself being made sleepy by a stinky cloud so you have to go back. You notice a Moshling is unaffected, so sneak past the clouds while they're lifting to talk to it. Then, a giant version of the clouds with a one-eyed face can be seen. Click on the door to Horrods to collect an E.P.I.C.S.

The Moshling, a Magical Tinkler, introduces itself as Sprinkles. If you ask "What are you doing here?", Sprinkles says that she is just taking a walk but noticed that the clouds have put the monsters to sleep. Ask why the clouds don't affect her. She says that she ate some nice-smelling things and is now unable to smell the clouds so they can't put her to sleep. She doesn't know what the evil-looking cloud is but she's willing to help the monsters by spraying nice smells. Click on Raarghly. Sprinkles sprays him and he wakes up. Now, talk to Raarghly. He thanks you and you ask for nice-smelling things. He gives you a games console, a teacup, and a flower. Click the flower. Now, open the inventory (the blue pouch on the far right) and drag the flower onto Sprinkles. Now, wander over and click on Dewey to wake him up. He asks what happened. After telling, ask him for nice smelling items. He gives you hot sauce, a screwdriver, a pot of flowers and a hat. Click the flowers, then open your inventory and give them to Sprinkles. Walk over to Mizz Snoots and click on her to wake her. When asked for nice-smelling things, she gives you flowers, a skull and a book. Click the flowers, open your inventory and give them to Sprinkles. Go back to wake Tamara. However, the evil cloud wants to defeat you but Sprinkles gets rid of it and all the other green clouds. Talk to Tamara. Apparently, she'd been studying it and has also found strange weather around Pinkish Peak She's also discovered that the big cloud made the smaller ones. Sprinkles wants to help you investigate but she disappears with some green clouds. Tamara then sends you to Pinkish Peak.

Part Two Recap

On Pinkish Peak, there are some Hoodoos. Ask if they have seen a watering can moshling. The one you're talking to doesn't know of the clouds, but he suggests you talk to Little Chief Two Scoops. He's the one with the ice cream scoop. Apparently, there was a legend of a chaotic storm cloud and the only one who can save the day is a monster in a red cape and mask. A jelly cloud then comes and encases the Hoodoos in jelly. Click on a stick, then open your inventory and drag it onto some jars to light it on fire. Now, drag it onto the firewood, click the Hoodoos and drag them from the inventory into the cauldron. Click to get ice cream. Then, the jelly cloud comes back. Click the red licorice, open your inventory and drag it onto the shrine to make a catapult. Open your inventory and drag ice cream onto the catapult just as the cloud is entering the gap between clouds. This freezes it, which Little Chief Two Scoops takes as proof you're the hero of the legend. He then tells you to go to Cloud City and restore the weather but green clouds take you.

Part Three Recap

You wake up in Cloud City. Nimbus is there. Talk to him. Apparently, he's never seen such rude, uncooperative clouds. The clouds then come together, say a rhyme, then fuse to make one cloud. Apparently, this cloud is the Mighty Gustavo and wants to destroy Monstro City. (There's an E.P.I.C.S. on the cloud). Nimbus gives you a morph stone. Pick it up and then find something of Nimbus's. Use the kite. Then, open your inventory and use the morph stone. Nimbus says you make a nice cloud and then you fight the Mighty Gustavo. Do this by clicking to blow flowers and ice cream in his face and moving the mouse to dodge his weapons. When defeated, he goes unconscious and Sprinkles reappears. Click on Sprinkles. She's fine but doesn't want to stay in Cloud City so she lets you adopt her. Gustavo evaporates, leaving behind some boxes of candy for some reason.
