Grim Fandango Hints
How do I get past the coral reef?
1 of 7: This whole place is made to process coral.
2 of 7: And crush it into tiny pieces.
3 of 7: There are two giant coral-crushing rollers near the beach where your ship is waiting.
4 of 7: You might be able to use those.
5 of 7: Just give them a little something that they can't handle.
6 of 7: Drop the chain from the crane onto the rollers. The rollers will jam.
7 of 7: Pull up the chain to release them. This is what Glottis needs to fix the ship. He will have it fixed by the time you are ready to leave the island.
