Grim Fandango Hints
I'm at the Pearl. How do I get away from the octopus?
1 of 8: The octopus is attracted to something.
2 of 8: Like bright lights.
3 of 8: Chepito is carrying a bright light with him.
4 of 8: Now, if only you could ditch him, you could distract the octopus.
5 of 8: Walk toward the back of the first screen. You'll find some tentacles attached to a rock.
6 of 8: Notice that Chepito is following you.
7 of 8: Just a little too closely.
8 of 8: Walk around this rock, and Chepito will get pulled in by it. This gives you your chance to hop in the sub and get out of here.
