Anachronox Hints
How can Grumpos learn his battle skills?
1 of 8: As with all the other characters, you need to start out with a special item.
2 of 8: But you can't just use the item in your inventory -- you need to find some place special to use it.
3 of 8: If you have any odd items, look at the descriptions of them.
4 of 8: Grumpos should find several prisms during the course of the game.
5 of 8: And the description says he uses these to meditate.
6 of 8: Look for a specific place to meditate.
7 of 8: Or pray.
8 of 8: Try the Pay-2-Pray inside the Vend-O-Mart on Sender Station. Grumpos can rent some time in the prayer booth and use the prisms to learn the associated battle skill.
