How To Flood A Toilet In Burglin' Gnomes

To flood a toilet in Burglin' Gnomes, throw an item into the toilet and flush it. The toilet floods when it clogs, which usually happens when the item is too large to flush or when several smaller items are flushed at the same time.

The easiest method is to use a larger soft item, such as a towel or teddy bear. These can flood the toilet in one flush if you can find them. If you cannot find a large item, collect multiple smaller bathroom items and flush them together.

This objective can feel inconsistent because not every item clogs the toilet on its own. One tiny item may flush normally, while a larger object or a pile of small items can cause the flood. The toilet is picky, because apparently even gnome crimes have plumbing rules.

Best Items To Use

The best items for flooding a toilet are larger objects that the toilet cannot flush cleanly. A towel or teddy bear is the easiest option because either one can clog the toilet in one go.

Item	How Good It Is	Why
Towel	Best	Large enough to clog the toilet quickly.
Teddy bear	Best	Can flood the toilet in one flush if available.
Toothpaste	Good with other items	Usually better when flushed with multiple small items.
Lotion container	Good with other items	Can help clog the toilet when combined with other objects.
Random small clutter	Mixed	May need several items flushed together to work.

If you are trying to complete the task quickly, do not waste time flushing one tiny item over and over. Search the bathroom and nearby rooms for a towel first, then use smaller clutter only if you cannot find a big item.

How To Flood A Toilet With Small Items

To flood a toilet with small items, throw 3 or 4 objects into the toilet before flushing. Small items are less reliable on their own, but several together can clog the toilet and trigger the flood.

Good small-item combinations include bathroom clutter like toothpaste, lotion containers, and similar objects. If one item flushes without flooding, add more items and try again.

Method	What To Do
Large-item method	Put a towel or teddy bear in the toilet and flush once.
Small-item method	Put 3 or 4 smaller items in the toilet and flush them together.
Retry method	Unclog with the plunger, add more items, and flush again.

The small-item method is messier, but it works when the house refuses to give you a perfect clog item. This is also where co-op helps, because one gnome can search for clutter while another guards the bathroom like a deeply cursed plumber.

What To Do If The Toilet Does Not Flood

If the toilet does not flood, the item was probably too small or there were not enough items in the bowl. Add more clutter, use a larger item, then flush again.

Do not assume the objective is broken after one failed flush. The toilet can accept some small objects without flooding, so the better move is to increase the item size or item count.

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Item flushes normally	The item is too small.	Use a towel, teddy bear, or multiple small items.
Toilet clogs but you need to try again	The setup did not trigger the flood cleanly.	Use the plunger, then retry with more items.
Cannot find a big item	The bathroom may not have one nearby.	Bring objects from other rooms.
Old man interrupts you	You stayed in the bathroom too long.	Have a teammate watch the hallway or move faster.

Burglin' Gnomes objectives are often about using the house's own items against it. For another chaos task, the Burglin' Gnomes explosion guide explains how to complete the explosion objective safely.

How To Unclog The Toilet

Use the plunger if you need to unclog the toilet and try again. This is useful if the toilet is clogged, but the flood objective did not complete or you want to send more items through.

The plunger gives you a reset option. Instead of leaving the bathroom and hoping another toilet works better, unclog it, add a larger item or more small items, then flush again.

Tool	Use
Plunger	Unclogs the toilet so you can flush more items and retry the flood.

If you see a plunger nearby, keep track of it. It can save the run if your first clog attempt is too weak.

Toilet Flooding Tips

The best toilet flooding tip is to bring the right item before you start flushing. A towel or teddy bear is faster than experimenting with random tiny objects.

Tip	Why It Helps
Use a towel first	It is one of the most reliable clog items.
Use a teddy bear if you find one	It can flood the toilet in one flush.
Stack small items	Several small items work better than one.
Keep the plunger nearby	It lets you unclog and retry.
Watch for the old man	Bathroom tasks can trap you if he comes close.
Use co-op roles	One player can search items while another watches the hallway.

In co-op, assign one player to item hunting and one player to toilet duty. It sounds stupid because it is stupid, but it works. Burglin' Gnomes is basically a workplace simulator if the workplace were crimes committed by tiny idiots.

Final Blurb

To flood a toilet in Burglin' Gnomes, clog it by flushing a large item like a towel or teddy bear. If you cannot find a large item, throw 3 or 4 smaller objects into the toilet and flush them together.

If the toilet does not flood, use the plunger to unclog it and try again with more items. The trick is not flushing harder. It is giving the toilet something it absolutely should not be asked to handle.
