Head towards to the bottom of the screen until you reach the back room of the venue where you find Lola, a press journalist who is looking to frame the manager for having an affair with her husband's lawyer, Olivia Ofrenda. Convince her to do a poem on open mic night. Initially, she copies the poem you said, but says her own poems in the follow ups if you ask her to say another one. No matter how much you try to make a well versed poem, you will always get hissed at by the Sea Bees in the corner. Head out of the Blue Casket and head towards the S.S Limbo.
Examine the moon and you and the sea captain will recite a poem:
'It shone pale as bone
As I stood there alone
And I thought to myself how the moon,
That night cast its light
On my hearts true delight
And the reef where her body was strewn.'
If only you could recite this poem in the Blue Casket at the Open Mic night...
Take out the letter from Salvador and read it in full. He says that the man who corrupted the DOD was an individual who went by the name Hector LeMans. Manny gets promoted to Special Agent status within the Lost Souls Alliance. Salvador also warns Manny of people back in El Marrow have become aware of Manny's presence in Rubacava.
Once you have finished reading this letter, head back to Calavera Cafe where Lupe has a note for Manny from Lola. Lupe found the message but supposedly someone has tampered with it and the key that was inside the message has gone missing! Talk to Glottis also to let him know that you both are leaving town tonight.
Head into Manny's casino now and talk to Chowchilla Charlie regarding the Union Cards. He says that he can cut you a deal - if Manny can retrieve Charlie's money from Maximino, then he can make Manny a Union card worthy of making him President of the Union. To help you out, Charlie gives you a VIP pass to the High Roller's Lounge where there should be a safe with Chowchilla Charlie's suitcase in. So now, head back to the race track. Raoul will let you up into the VIP Lounge. Head into the kitchen (in the middle of the room once you get out of the elevator) and pick up the turkey baster that is lying on the side at the bottom left of your screen.
Now head over to the man in the blue-y green suit on the bottom right of your screen in the main lounge area and you find it is Nick Virago, the man who Lola tried to frame for having an affair with Olivia, down in the Blue Cashet. Talk to him regarding needing a lawyer at your casino because people think Manny's tables are fixed. Tell him that he will tell Max about him and Olivia, and this will annoy Nick so much he gets up and leaves. Once he leaves, pick up his cigarette case. Something rattles inside - this same something Nick had dropped on the floor moments before whilst talking to Manny. My best bet is that it is the key Lupe was meant to give you!
If you go back into the kitchen and follow the path around, you will find a lizard-esque green monster with a mohawk even Freddie Ljungberg would be proud of. He is protecting the lift door to the elevator that would take you down to the wine cellar. You need to get him out the way if possible. Once you have searched everywhere else in the High Roller's Lounge, it is clear that there is no safe anywhere to be seen. Hence, Charlie's money and suitcase must be down in that wine cellar, or at least somewhere that lift goes past...
You can open the sealed lid on top of the keg of wine with the can opener once the keg is empty - only then will the man guarding the elevator take it down to the wine cellar.
Head back to the Blue Casket. Remember the letter you read out from Salvador about how important Manny was in the progress made to work that the LSA was currently undertaking? Read it out to the Sea Bees in their booth so as to show them that you are fighting against corruption as well. He shows them all the letter and they welcome him as a brother of the revolution. Now pick up the book on the table - 'Labor Organisation and Revolt... made easy'. Now show this book to the Sea Bees down at the dock.
Cue a cutscene with the Sea Bees starting to build up a head of steam and start a mini revolt. The ringleader, Terry, is taken away by the police and it looks like Manny needs to go and find a lawyer... Good thing Nick owes you a favour.
-----------------
If you go back to the VIP High Roller's Lounge, Nick is still not there so you need wait until you complete other parts of the game before he comes back!
Head up to Carla's office now. Give her the cigarette box you took off of Nick earlier. Tell her that you found it underneath her desk and that some crafty looking individual put it there. She will put it in the safe next to her desk (a bomb safety mechanism) and this will blow it up. Carla takes the remnants out of the safe and lone behold Manny has the key he was looking for! He says he will have to give it to Police Officer Bogen. Now go back to the building where the coroner, Membrillo, is. You find it is where they are keeping Terry, the head of the Sea Bees you gave the revolution inspiring book to earlier. However, this is not what the key, which you just obtained, opens. Find what this opens first.
Head down to the lighthouse now (follow the pathway down next to where Terry and the other Sea Bees gathered) and see if the key works on that door. You find that this key does open the door. Enter the lighthouse. You find out that Nick made Lola into a flowerbed as punishment for taking the picture of him and Olivia. Once Lola has blown away into the night sky, all that is left behind is a card with a picture of a tongue with the words 'Lengua #22' on it.
Now go to the coroner and put the ensign of Naranja on one of the bodies lying on the tables. Initially, Membrillo does not notice anything different with the corpses but leave it for a while and go back later.
Head over to the lounge, and you see Glottis getting very drunk whilst watching the cat races. Go up to the balcony and talk to Glottis. There is no way to talk to Glottis to make him see sense. Raol keeps on going into the pantry. You need to close the door behind him and find something to lock the door behind him as you cannot empty the keg of wine by the time he gets out again. In turn, the only thing in your inventory that you can use to lock the door is your scythe. Once Raoul is in the pantry, close the door behind him, take your scythe out and use it on the door. This leads the waiter to get claustrophobic and bang the door - leading to a tin of cat food to fall off the wall and knocking him out. This annoys Glottis. In turn, he comes down to the kitchen and drinks the entire keg of wine!
Climb up the ladder and use the can opener on the top of the keg. You will lose the can opener through doing this but you can fit into the keg as a result of this. Climb into the keg. Glottis comes into the kitchen, takes the scythe out of the pantry door and lets the waiter out. You will be put down in the cellar. Get into the pick up truck and drive into the elevator. Push the red button on the side of the elevator. Make sure that the forklift is as far on the right hand side of the elevator as you can be. Once the lift starts moving, drive the forklift towards the lift doors, keeping hold of the forward directional button all the time until the forklift gets caught on the top of the doors to the secret floor.
Exit the forklift and go round to the other side of it where there is a lever you need to pull so that the forks lift up, ultimately pulling the lift down so that you can exit through the doors.
You are now on the secret level within the VIP High Roller's Club. Go down the corridor until you come into a small room where you will find Chowchilla Charlie's suitcase. Pick it up.
Cutscene to Manny coming out of the VIP lift. He is welcomed by Charlie who is holding a gun. He gives you the union card you were needing in return for the suitcase. You now have two of the three parts needed to get on the S.S. Limbo. The only other thing you need is tools for Glottis.
In the meantime, head back up to Carla's office. You need her to find any kind of metal on you. Drink the 'Marillo de Oro' liqueur you picked up from Manny's cafe behind the bar. Drink enough that if you try to drink any more, Manny says that he couldn't stomach any more metal. Then either swipe the scythe in front of the metal detector or just walk into it so as to set it off. You need to set off the metal detector before Manny burps, otherwise he won't set off Carla's metal detector. Keep asking Carla about the metal detector she has until she throws it out into the cat dump.
Head down to the dumping area out back of the cat races. Use the scythe to find out where the metal detector fell. It doesn't pick up the metal detector initially, but the image below shows the place you need to stand to find it!
Now you need to find out what that note 'No. 36 - The Rusty Anchor' means. Head down to where Naranja is passed out and give the note to Toto. He says how it is one of his favourite and most famous tattoo designs. He gives you a picture showing cat races with a balloon carrying the message 'Marry Me Olivia??', the number #114 on the bottom left, and the number 6 on both sides of the podium.
Remember how Chowchilla Charlie 'gave' you the ticket printer? You can print off your own betting stabs for the cat races. To do this, press 'U' once you have selected the ticket printer, press U again until you get the screen shown below...
Press the sideways directional buttons across until you get to the print button in the middle. To print the ticket off, press the upward directional button. Hand to the ticket attendant. You don't get any positive response from the 'reward' you get given. The loudspeaker says that Tuesday is Kitty Hat day. Look at the photo and you can see all of the crowd are wearing Kitty Hats. Hence, the day on the ticket stub should be put to Tuesday. Now go down to where the giant stuffed cat is and read the plaque underneath it:-
'Beloved Sanspoof,
This regal and magestic feline was a record-holder for speed, and a favourite of the crowds here in Rubacava for many years... until her career was suddenly and tragically cut short on the second week of the racing season... when the airship Olivia 1, on its maiden voyage, crashed onto the track mid-race, and exploded. Many bereaved fans testified later that, before the blimp hit, Sanspoof... was in the lead'
Now head back upstairs and look at the photo again. You see the number 6 on the back, this represents what race number it is. Soooo, in the ticket printer, type in what week it was on the left hand side, the day in the middle, and the race number on the right hand side. It should look like the following:
Now head to Membrillo in the morgue. He still hasn't found the ensign you put on one of the bodies. So, to speed up this process, hand him the metal detector. He finally finds the ensign you planted on the body and Membrillo phones up the captain of the S.S. Limbo to break the news that Naranja has been sprouted. You now lose the metal detector from your inventory.
The only thing Manny needs to find now are tools for Glottis. To find these, head back to where Terry and his Sea Bees are gathered chanting against Police Officer Bogen. To the right are tools they have just left around. They are too heavy for Manny to pick up himself, so he will get Glottis to pick them up before they get on the S.S. Limbo. However, when you go back to the VIP Lounge, Glottis is still drunk and Manny cannot make him see sense.
You now have to go back to Manny's casino. You will find Police Officer Bogen there for a second spell at hoping for a lucky streak. In turn, head upstairs and tamper with the roulette results on Manny's remote control on his desk. As a result, Manny's casino gets shut down and Glottis gets thrown out of the VIP Lounge! You now both board the S.S Limbo en route to Puerto Zapato.
----------------------
Cutscene to 1 year later when Manny has become the captain of the S.S. Limbo and Glottis has completely renovated the ship inside and out.
----------------------
Once the cutscene comes to a close, you get a message from one of the carrier pigeons sent by Salvador Limones, warning Manny of possible danger upon leaving the ship. Once the carrier pigeon has flown away, walk in to the inside of the ship through the door to the left of the screen. You find out that all the crew members have all been sprouted. Upon walking down the ladder, there are officials at the other end of the ship who try to seize you. However, Glottis drags you into the engine room.
On each side of the engine room, you can look through the portholes to see there is one anchor on each side. You will need to release both of these anchors in such a way that they hook together under the water. To release or pull up the anchors, you need to press the red buttons on the walls of the engine room. Once you have got them hooked together, push the red button to pull up both the anchors onto the left hand side of the boat. Once you have done this, take out your scythe and use it on the joined together anchors. This will hook one of the anchors over the porthole.
Once you have the anchor hooked onto the porthole, press the red button beneath it to raise the anchor. This creates a large rip in the hull of the ship. Now start up the engines and push the downward directional button to separate the ship into two parts.
----------------
Cutscene where the customs officials start sinking on the remains of the ship left behind in port. Manny and Glottis are able to keep the other half of the ship, now named S.S. Lola, above water for a short amount of time before they too are sinking to the bottom of the ocean. You are now in the Sea of Lament and need to find the Big Pearl.
----------------
Initially, you cannot leave the area shaded in light, but you see a character, Chepito, walking around the wreckage of the S.S. Lola with a lantern on his head. You ask him a few questions and you see that it is because of this light that he is not swallowed up by the lost sea beast souls of the ocean. In turn, you need to get that lantern off of him or bring him with you. Both of which you cannot do by yourself.
So, head over to where Glottis is and when Chepito walks past you press 'A' to try and pull the light off his head. Use the backward directional button to drag him into Glottis, who then picks him up. The three of you now walk towards the Big Pearl. The pearl itself is guarded by a large purple octopus. Walk along the ridge to your right towards the big rock in the distance. Once you reach there, you see the rock has clams on it which attach themselves to anything that walk past it. Walk around the rock. This makes Chepito follow you but he gets caught up in the clams and taken in by the octopus. Whilst this is happening, Manny and Glottis get into the submarine under the radar.
The octopus drives the submarine to the Edge of the World. Head up to the elevator. The door on the left is locked at the moment. Carry on down the other corridor until you reach a room that looks like somebody's lounge. Head through the door. Here, you find Meche Colomar and Domino. Glottis belatedly enters the fold but Domino releases a trap door and Glottis falls through it. Domino then knocks Manny out.
You then wake up in the room that was just previously locked. There are two winged children, otherwise known as Pugsy and Bibi, in a cage who are now your 'employees'. Speak to the children until the boy throws his mini chisel out of the cage. You also see that they are chiseling the coral that you previously used as the hook to get to the roof of the DOD. If you head down the corridor back to the lounge, you see Meche. Talking to her makes it apparant that Domino has brainwashed her into thinking that Manny decieved her and forgot about her. Meche knows that Manny now works for the LSA and wants to see a gun as proof. As Manny doesn't have a gun, he will need to find one. At the moment, the only person we have seen who has a gun is Domino.
Head down the elevator and if you go to the right of your screen, you will find a conveyer belt esque transportation tube. There is a lever you can push to alter the direction of the flow. You do not need to use this yet.
Go back towards the lift and carry on towards the left of the screen. There, you find Chepito. He says that to get a gun, you need to find something he deems worthy to trade it for. All you have at the moment is your scythe and the mini chisel the boy threw out of his cage. Give him the small chisel. In turn, he gives you his 'Bust-All' numatic drill.
If you continue going down towards the left of the screen, you reach another convery belt esque transportation tube. Walk as far down the left hand side of it as possible until you start floating in the water. Swim towards the bottom of the screen where you will be able to clamber down a long metal chain. At the bottom of this chain, you reach the engine of another ship, an engine that Glottis is currently working on - he survived the fall!
Now, as much as I've tried, I can't get back down to Glottis after seeing him. So head back to where Meche is. You need to look around at the clues and what you have available to you. You notice the bin is empty but there is an ash tray next to Meche who is smoking. Sooo, you need to move the ash tray around a little bit just by pressing 'U' on it. This will make Meche stub her stockings with the cigarette butt and throw them in the bin. Manny is getting very hot under the collar whilst seductive, romantic music is played during this scene. Take these stockings down to Chepito and he will exchange these for a gun.
Now head back to Meche and give her the gun. Meche points the sproutilla gun at Manny and tells him to move into Domino's office. Things go sour and Domino locks Meche in the cooler.
Head out into the hallway and she is locked behind the large safe. Use the 'Bust-All' numatic drill on the lock to the right of the door (next to the wheel). You will blast a hole of minor proportions in the side of the door. Through this gap, you can see the tumblers of the combination lock. You need to turn the wheel in the middle of the door until all of these line up. It always seems to be the second from top tumbler that is the problem so just turn the wheel both ways until all of them line up.
This is trickier than it sounds. There are 5 parts to this!
*NB* - In doing this, it is important to do individual clicks of the wheel in one way or the other to save any problems of over-turning the tumblers!
1) Turn the wheel until all four tumblers are turning and keep turning the same direction until the top tumbler is even with the doorframe (like below)
2) Turn the wheel in the opposite direction now until the 2nd tumbler down moves into line with the top tumbler.
3) Turn the wheel in the same direction you turned it first time round until the 2nd tumbler from bottom lines up with the top 2. *NB* It is important to note that with this one, don't worry if it doesn't line up perfectly, once you line up the bottom tumbler it will go into place!!
4) Turn the wheel in the opposite direction to line up the bottom tumbler.
5) This is the important part. If you were to open the door just as it was, it would just reset. So put your scythe in the gap next to the tumblers and then open the door.
The door is now open! Huzzah. At last!
Walk through the door. Close the door behind you and then use the scythe on the circuit board on the top left of the safe door. This opens a secret passageway. Enter 'Meche's Room' and you see a large pipe to the right of the screen. If you try to open the valve by hand, nothing happens, Manny needs to take drastic action.
Take out your scythe and use it on the fire coolant system pipes above. The water comes out slowly and doesn't set on the ground either so you can't float away like Manny hoped to. You can turn off the water by turning the valve on the large pipe to the right. Now, Manny is not the strongest of individuals so picking up the axe is somewhat of a mission for his little boney figure. Also, you can't pick up or use the armour itself.
So, after much trial and error, you need to have the water on for this! Then hit the blue tile using the big axe in the middle. As Manny can't pick up the axe fully, make sure the axe head is resting on that blue tile before Manny tries to pick it up. Once he drops the axe on the blue tile, a hole will emerge to the right of it just big enough to fit through.
You get transported to the sandy beach on the other side of the island.
Head to the large crane. To get here from the beach you just go up the slope and up the staircase on the left of the screen. Move the crane to around the right hand side where the beach is and drop the chain and exit the crane. Go to where the crane head is connected to the chain and use the 'Bust-All' numatic drill to break the crane and separate it from the chain. Pop into the crane and drop the chain on the rotating grinders to break them.
Now move the crane round to the left hand side of the island and drop the chain so that it is just in front of the conveyer belt esque transportation tube. Now exit the crane and go down to the chain. Go underwater and push the lever so it changes the direction of the flow of water, ultimately leading to the chain being dragged along the entire tubing system.
If you go down to where Glottis is, you cannot see the chain you just moved anyways so there is no need to go there. Instead, keep moving the lever up and down until the chain is around the arrow sign - which if you look carefully, is the anchor to the ship down below!
Now head back to the crane and once you start to move away from your position, it goes to a cutscene of the ship being taken out of the water with Glottis holding onto the chain, like Miley Cyrus in Wrecking Ball... Now that's not a nice image!
Domino sees the smoke from the smoke and can't believe his eyes! He comes after Manny in his submarine - purple octopus in toe - and disrupts Manny and Meche's magical romantic moment. Manny jumps onto the submarine to confront Domino. Instead of trying to attack Domino, use your scythe to attack the eye of the octopus.
The octopus swims away leaving no-one to drive the submarine. Domino starts giving Manny this big old lecture about how Manny should be more like him. All the while, Manny's new ship, with the rotating grinders on the front of it, comes steamrolling towards the submarine and swallows up Domino, leaving Manny to be rescued last minute by Pugsy and Bibi, your children with wings.
-------------------
Year 4
Cutscene to Glottis and the ships crew walking across a desolate landscape and in the end registering with some form of registrar for what we don't know as of yet. Glottis falls off the cliff in sheer exhaustion it looks like. Manny, in a new grey suit and red hat ends up in a very grey place with seemingly very little to explore.
-------------------
You restart the game in the destination of the Number Nine train. Yet, even though your companions had tickets, they were apparently fraudulant ones. So, you need to get them tickets so as to allow them to be finally free from Hector LeMans. Upon talking to the gate keeper, you find out that your companions are in 'Waiting Area 2' - a room that is currently locked. So, go into the hallway that is through the doorway underneath the gate keeper. Here you will find Chepito in a small pool doing circuits. You convince him that there is a better way to live than to walk around in circles and he walks off.
Before you can go down the steps to the left of the screen, the gate keeper gives you a note sent from Hector LeMans. It reads: 'I know what you're up to. I've been watching. Stay there, I'm coming to sprout you myself. Yours truly, Hector LeMans.'
Head down the steps until you reach an opening where there are two van loads of coffins and a loose coffin strayed out on the ground. Open up the coffin and you will find Bruno Martinez in it. Remember him? The midget you found at the poisoning at the start of the game? He gives you back the mug you gave him. As Manny filled the coffin with packing foam, the mug too is filled to the brim with packing foam. This could come in handy later.
Go back up the steps as you can't walk down the path to the left, and then walk to your right until you stumble into a room where Glottis is being attended to by what seems like several mini Glottis's and a woman. Glottis is in agony. He wants to save everyone. He draws a new design for his final 'Bone-Wagon' esque vehicle that could save him - upon further investigation, Manny sees it is a rocket sled. But you would need the right tools.
Go into the kitchen below where Glottis is lying down. Open the drawer on the far right of the screen and put the mug with the packing foam on the mug rack. Pick up a rag from the drawer. You can use the rag with the toaster to make a warm rag. Now use the rag with the recycled oil in the containers. Now put the rag back in the toaster. This sets fire to the rag. One of the gremlins runs down to try put the fire out and in the process, the foam in the mug you put on the rack reacts with the fire and shoots off like a rocket. The gremlins have a great idea to make a packing foam fuelled rocket sled.
-----------------
Cutscene to the final product, a rocket sled that even Glottis would be proud of. Speaking of Glottis, he is strewn across the top of the sled.
Upon passing through Rubacava, Glottis wakes up. Both Manny and Meche are in the lower compartment. Cue Glottis being scared and ultimately de-railing the sled into the water. You all end up on the shore of Rubacava. Glottis says how their car may still be in the shed but upon further investigation, they find it is booby trapped.
-----------------
Manny doesn't want to set foot in the garage in case he knocks any of the dominoes. In turn, head out of the garage. Head back to where the sea captain is and you will be embroiled in an automatic conversation about the S.S. Limbo and the S.S. Lamancha. Upon hearing the S.S. Lamancha is in Puerto Zapato, the sea captain leaves. Pick up his ship in a bottle creation.
Head to the Blue Casket now and you see it is deserted. In the back room where you previously filled up the turkey baster with the filthy water to spike Naranja's drink, there is a keg of 'Coffin Shooter' which you can pour into the ship in a bottle.
Upon heading out of the back room, Olivia comes out of the side room and says that she also wants to come with you back to El Marrow. The Sea Bees are all gone from the dockyard and there is still nothing down at the Lighthouse so don't bother going down that way.
Now head down to Toto. He is soundly asleep. Open up the small cupboard on the wall where you will find a small bottle of liquid nitrogen.
You cannot go across to where the cat races are being held as the draw bridge no longer works.
You need to give Glottis the 'Coffin Shooter' drink you have. Manny convinces Glottis that it is Lumbago Lemonade. After necking the drink, Glottis asks where he can get some more. He goes into the kitchen and drinks the entire keg. Talk to Glottis again and this makes him vomit up all of the 'Lumbago Lemonade' onto the floor where the dominoes are. Use the liquid nitrogen to freeze over the ground. Walk over to the back of the car and press 'U' to diffuse the bomb.
--------------------
Cutscene to Glottis driving back to the same place Salvador Limones dropped Manny off outside of El Marrow after walking through the tunnel. Speaking of Salvador Limones, his men pick Manny and his companions up and take you down to the bunker. Salvador says that he is close to a breakthrough against Hector LeMans, but just as he is about to explain what he was going to do, he gets interrupted by one of his men who was shot by LeMans to break news to Salvador that their mission has been compromised. The spy was found out.
--------------------
Pick up the arm off of the remains of the man who just sprouted, and then pick the photo out of the bin that Salvador threw away before leaving the bunker. Look at the screen next to Eva, and you find the camera of Salvador's spy still working. On the screen, Eva introduces you to Bowlsley, 'The Florist' - Botanical weapons expert for Hector LeMans.
Remember how Salvador wrote to you saying that the carrier pigeons can deliver messages to people just by seeing their photo? Give the letter from Hector LeMans to the carrier pigeon and then show it the photo of the spy who just got shot by LeMans. The pigeon gets to its destination but is ultimately gobbled up by one of Hector LeMans's carrier pigeons. Nonetheless, the message still gets to Bowlsley.
He reacts badly to this and decides to take all of his chemicals with him and run away!
Head out to the right of the bunker and continue down the path until you find Glottis. There are two paths you can take now. Go with where you saw Bowlsley run, so take the path down the right hand side (just behind the Bone Wagon). Follow the path the whole way round until you go into the big pipe on the top right of the screen. However, you can't go down this path (maze) until you find a light of sorts to help guide you through it.
Go up the ladder on the left of the Bone Wagon then. You emerge onto a hallway where there is another ladder on the far left hand side of the screen, and a doorway into the casino on the right hand side. I would advise going up the ladder before going into the casino. You find two characters dressed in costume. Pick up the coffee jug on the side and walk over to the two individuals. Once they both have coffee, walk down the stairs and you overhear that one of them plans to buy a Number Nine ticket off of Hector LeMans. If you talk to them, all they say is that there are no more parts in the play available for audition.
Now head downstairs and go into the casino. However, you still need a costume to disguise yourself before Manny can go out onto the streets of El Marrow.
Head back up the ladder then, pick up the coffee mug again and walk past the two characters in costume and press 'U' with the ladder behind them. Go over to the right of the ladder and pour the coffee on the characters down below. This melts one of their make up and they both run off. Head back down the ladder and go into the changing room door on the right hand side. You get the chance to become a Thunder Boy in the 'Johnny Thunder' show. You get put in make up.
Now you have your disguise to go out onto the streets of El Marrow. Head downstairs and into the casino. Now you are on the casino floor. Walk to the left, you find the maintenance man from the DOD office you met when you put the balloons full of packaging foam down the tubes. He says the lift goes straight to LeMans's office and that only special clientel have the chance to go up.
Go on to the main casino floor where you will see Chowchilla Charlie winning a lot of money, as well as the agent who Salvador chopped the body off of earlier that evening. The agent says that none of the machines are safe from the LSA. The woman with Chowchilla Charlie is Meche. You need to talk to her twice to make sure she knows that it is Manny underneath that makeup. She gives you a sheet to cover Chowchilla Charlie with.
You can use the slot machine to the left of Chowchilla Charlie but after a couple of tries, you see that it seems unbeatable. It doesn't pay out even when you have three of a kind. So, to pass this part of the game, you need three things in the order they are in below:
1) 3 of a kind on the machine to the left of Chowchilla Charlie
2) To cover Chowchilla Charlie in the sheet
3) Talk to the LSA Agent and tell him to crank Chowchilla Charlie's machine.
Once the LSA Agent has moved all the images to that of Hector LeMans, Chowchilla Charlie has won jackpot! He goes into the changing room and changes into the robe that Meche gave to him to wear to the party. Head into the changing room and dress in Chowchilla Charlie's clothes. Somehow, his clothes seem to fit Manny perfectly. Now all you need is a weapon of sorts..
Head back up backstage upstairs. Go to where you poured the coffee on the two characters and go towards the screen until you reach this screen.
Once here, put the detached bone arm into the snow grinder and pull the chord next to the mechanism. You see the bone doesn't break down at all. Pick up the snow grinder / bone arm combo and put it into your inventory. Climb down the ladder and go back the casino. You find out that the bone grinder is not much use in trying to get into the elevator. So go back to where Glottis is and use the bone grinder on the green chemical substance on the floor. This turns the bones into a crystalised / coral colour.
Head down the path you previously couldn't go down because you didn't have a light. Use the bone crusher to find a small group of the ground chemical substance dropped by Bowlsley. Manny and Glottis drive down the path until they are met by an giant alligator. Drive towards the alligator until you can reach up onto the ledge to the right. To get the car at the right height just get the controller out and press 'U' to lift the car's suspension.
Walk down the ledge until you get to the end. The alligator will tail you rather than Glottis. So, when he turns to look at you, take the controller out again and put the car suspension down so it traps the alligators tail.
Go down the ladder. Walk to the right and you will come to a florist shop. Enter it.
You see Bowlsley cowering behind the counter. No matter how much you try talking to him, he just repeats what you say and doesn't give you anything. You need something to prove you are not Hector LeMans. Above the door is an urchin of sorts. Get your scythe out and cut it off. You get asked to leave, but re-enter and the bell goes. Bowlsley believes it to be a new customer so you ask for a gun and he gives you one straight away, as well as some sprouting chemicals to go with it!
Glottis drives you back to where Bowlsley dropped the first droplets of chemicals. So head back into the casino. Talk to the maintenance guy on guard who asks you 'one simple question':
How old was Hector LeMans when he stole his first dollar?
Now I don't know if it was a lucky guess or the maintenance guy didn't know the right answer, but I selected 8 years old.
You get allowed to go up to his office.
If you go to the right of where you exit the elevator (where you can see the tops of two people's heads), you meet Celso Flores, Manny's first customer from the very start of the game! Talk to Celso. It seems he doesn't recognise Manny in his makeup so talk to him about how the tickets are a scam. However, Celso thinks Manny is just trying to do reverse psychology on him. In turn, convince him of your story and about how you think they should not have to go through such peril. Celso agrees to LeMans's deal and they go into his office to chat.
If you try walk towards his office, a cutscene ensues where LeMans comes out and proposes you with a job opportunity by showing Manny to his old office in the DOD block. Upon hearing the offer, Manny reveals his real identity but before Manny can shoot LeMans with the sprouter gun, a messenger flies through the window and Manny shoots it instead. LeMans seems to have got away through holding onto the ankle of the giant, lit up model resting above the DOD office. However, the suitcase goes onto the opposite rooftop, and as the mechanical leg breaks under the added pressure, LeMans falls to the ground.
Walk around the side until you get to the roof. Unfortunately, you can't walk up the ladder until you make the other leg stretch across to the other roof. So, in turn, walk down to the bottom right of the screen and onto the ledge where you see the gargoyle being used as a structural support.
Take out the can of sprouting chemicals and pour it on the concrete just behind the gargoyle. This makes the concrete break away once the plants grow within it. The whole structure collapses. Now walk up the tall ladder on top of the roof. Once up there, Manny slides down the structure and across to the other roof.
--------------------
Cutscene to Manny giving Meche a golden ticket for the Number Nine. Upon reaching the ticket desk, Meche gets attacked by another one of LeMans's messengers. Glottis holds onto the messenger whilst Manny gets in a getaway car. However, it appears you have been taken hostage by a double agent. She seems to have killed Salvador and all that is left of him is his head. You get taken to what looks like a graveyard of sprouted dead.
--------------------
Manny gets told to 'scat' or just get out of sight. To the left of the hill is a water container used to keep all the plants alive - as Manny said, as a memorial or as trophies?
Manny confronts Hector once more - seems like he survived the fall alright! He uncovers what he knows about Hector's cynical plan to steal all the Double-N tickets from innocent souls, pretend to sell them, but keep them all for himself in a desperate attempt to get out of the Land of the Dead. Instead of confessing to this crime, Hector predictably shoots Manny. Manny stumbles out of the greenhouse and falls to the ground some way away from it wriving in agony.
Use the liquid nitrogen to freeze the sprouting process and save Manny. Now head back to the car and talk to Salvador's head in the back of the car. You find that the key to the trunk of the car (where there is a gun) is somewhere in the meadow with the rest of his body. The conversation gets cut short by Olivia. She picks up Salvador's skull and starts asking him what he said to Manny. Salvador refused to tell her and instead spat the remnants of the sprouting substance in her face, ultimately sprouting Olivia as well.
Open up the case behind the car. You will find Manny's scythe in there. Along with this, a ticket will hop out and rest on Salvador's wreath.
Now go find the key to open the boot of the car. Remember how Salvador's ticket was drawn to his head? Pick up the ticket and walk around the greenhouse until you reach the other side. The ticket will start flapping about when you are near the body. Once you are near enough, it will float down and find a resting place. Manny gets his scythe out and cuts the grass - freeing Salvador's body. Search his body and pick up the key to the trunk
Go back to the car and open the trunk. If you try going through the doors of the greenhouse, Manny won't let you. You need to find a way to make Hector finish all of his ammo. When looking around, trying to use or pick up as many things as you can, you notice that the water tank supplies the flowers inside the greenhouse, where Hector LeMans is. So, you have to find a way to sabotage the water supply...
You guessed it, get your gun out and shoot the water tanks. I didn't think this would work initially as I didn't think it would penetrate through the water tanks but it just covers the tank and pollutes the water.
You hear the screams of Hector from the greenhouse. Go up there. Just as you are about to open the door, Hector's body explodes.
-------------------
Cutscene to the Number Nine train with Manny, Meche and Glottis on board. You reach the end of the road and have to say your goodbyes to Glottis who isn't going to go with you. Cue emotional, romantic scenes between Manny and Meche. Glottis and his little minions wave farewell to 'the best boss ever'.
The End!
So there we have it, the end of another one of my Gaming Walkthroughs on GuardianGamerOfTheGalaxy! I hope you enjoyed playing Grim Fandango as much as I have done and hope you stop by for my next walkthrough - that of Escape From Monkey Island - another one of LucasArts finest creations. Til we meet again my friends, til we meet again :)
