Grim Fandango is a puzzle. In fact it's loads of puzzles stuck together with
LucasArts' special
adventure glue. Due to the non-linear nature of the game, they can be
completed in various orders,
and many can also be worked on simultaneously. Here are the bare facts. You
decide.

YEAR ONE

HIRE DRIVER
No big shakes. Simply go down to the garage and talk to Glottis. Convince
him that he's not too big,
it's just that the cars are too small.

FAKE WORK ORDER
Leave the building and investigate the nearby alley. Climb up the rope and
into Don Copal's office.
Change his answer machine to "Just sign it yourself!" then present Eva with
the work order. She signs
it, Bob's your uncle, and Glottis is your driver.

REAP SOUL
Don't fear the reaper. Simply get out your scythe, open that cocoon, and
reap that soul.

OPEN TUBE ROOM
Stroll down to the festival and ask the clown for two dead worms. Take the
uninflated balloons to the
packing room and fill one with light material and one with dark; it's a bit
like Araldite. Go up to your
office and send them both down the tube. This gunks up the switcher, and the
repairman appears.

JAM DOOR OPEN
Simply flip the deadlock while the door is open. It won't close properly and
you can get in.

INTERCEPT MESSAGE
Pick up the deck of cards from your office. Use Eva's hole punch on one of
the cards then insert it into
the red tube to read the message.

ESCAPE SHED
Bang on the door until someone appears. Explain to the guard - who is
actually Salvador Limones -
that you hate your job and that you plan to take down the company.

REPLICATE TEETH
Go to Domino's office and get his gum shield by using his punchball. Go back
to the shed and fill it
with Fil-A-Dent from the machine. Now put it in your mouth and take the cast
to the LSA
headquarters.

GET ON ROOF
Steal a hunk of coral from Domino's drawer. Tie it to the loose end of the
rope of ties and then toss
the impromptu grappling hook onto the ladder. Climb on up.

GET TO EGGS
Get any inflated balloon from the clown and while you're there steal a loaf
of bread. On the roof, bury
the balloon in the bread at the birds' feeding hole. Wait for them to fall
for your cunning plan then
steal their eggs. Take them to the LSA.

GET GLOTTIS' HEART
Pick up a bone from the pile and throw it into the web. Hook your scythe
onto it and let it snap back.
Put the heart back in Glottis' chest. Please note, this is not a
documentary.

GET SIGNPOST
When revived, Glottis will accidentally drive into the signpost, thus
dislodging it. Pick it up and
stagger around aimlessly for a bit.

FIND WAY OUT
Experiment with planting the signpost in the clearing. Follow its directions
until it points directly into
the ground. Walk or drive through the trapdoor and take the key to the dam.

GET SHOCKS
Change the pattern of the pumps by moving the wheelbarrow onto specific
tubes. Get the pumps on
each side to pump together. Wait for Glottis to climb up then flip the
switch.

BEAVERS
Shank a left to the rocky outcrop. Throw a bone onto the river. As a beaver
jumps to retrieve it, spray
the mutha with the fire extinguisher. Repeat as necessary. If you need more
bones, they're back at the
spider's web.

GET JOB
After chatting with Celso, you need to talk to Velasco, who you meet after
wandering off the ledge
and falling into the water. Discuss Celso's wife, take the logbook, show it
to Celso and then take his
job. It's the least you can do.
