How do I open the Ice Cream Maker? (Day 3)

[RedTuna]

How do I open the Ice Cream Maker? I already unplugged it and am wearing gloves (which gives +3 to the check combined). However, it says prybar isn't strong enough -20. Where do I get a stronger prybar/tool to open it?

A character you meet in the church will give it to you.

Unplug it + Get a special tool from a character in the church.

Does unplugging it damage the filament?

I failed a high percentage check and I cant level my physical instrument any more, even after drinking alcohol. No idea what to do. Pls help

I *think* getting a die from the dice maker can unlock some white checks, but I can't confirm. other than that, all you can do is savescumming, i'm afraid. Kim suggests that there's also the option of waiting for the ice cream maker to defrost, but if that's an option it must be a very long time since I unplugged the ice cream maker on day 2 or 3 and by the time i came back for the filament a couple of days later I still had to use the super prybar. Unplugging it might have helped the check, though, I can't remember.

Try talking to Soona again and you might be able to unlock it for one more try, maybe?

Letting the machine defrost is only +2 or so. You still need Soona's multitool to get rid of the massive -10 or 20 penalty you start out with.

There's a thought, The Insulindian Miracle, which you can get for dealing with Evrart enough to find out his plans so that you can tell them to Joyce. She explains the history of how the isola was discovered and you have the thought afterwards. Researching the thought unlocks all white checks in the game.

FYI save scum here who gets curious about early game heroic success enough to reload hundreds of times while watching shows. This check is doomed to fail even when succeeding. It has the following description before using the same text as a failed check.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [Heroic Success] - The ice squeaks beneath the prybar -- you could *swear* you succeeded! -- but the lid simply won't budge.
YOU - What is this...
ICE CREAM MAKER - You see the prybar's metal handle bending, right before your very eyes.
