Anachronox Hints
Take pictures of Brebulians.
1 of 8: The Nox Guard in the Casinox Area on the way to the Fountain Spiral will pay you $100 each for pictures of 5 Brebulians.
2 of 8: If you don't know what a Brebulian looks like, they're one of the species whose speech was originally unintelligible before you got a translator. One such creature is eating a tentacle dinner at the restaurant in the Anachronox Tours Area.
3 of 8: And don't forget to get their whole body, including feet, into the photo.
4 of 8: Another Brebulian is in the Casinox Area on the way to the Platform Area.
5 of 8: A third is talking to another Nox Guard on the upper level of the Tenement Area.
6 of 8: And a fourth is begging in the lower level of the Tenement Area, sort of in the shadows.
7 of 8: Two more are outside in the Junkyard Area talking together a couple of stores down from Ghalla's. (They should count as two when you show the photos to the cop.)
8 of 8: There are plenty more Brebulians, but the ones in this list should get you through the quest.
