Grim Fandango Hints
How can I free Meche from the safe?
1 of 12: There aren't any numbers on the dial of the safe. This is going to make it hard to find the combination.
2 of 12: You're just going to have to pick the lock.
3 of 12: But that's going to be tough if you can't see what you're doing.
4 of 12: There are three parts to the safe: the handle, the wheel, and the lock. You're going to want to take a closer look at the lock itself.
5 of 12: Try opening it.
6 of 12: Use your Bust-All on it, and you'll be able to see the tumblers inside the lock.
7 of 12: You want to line up the tumblers so their flat edges are all lined up with the edge of the door jamb -- that is, all tumblers should be perpendicular to you, with their flat edges on the right, so that you can see through the tumblers to the jamb.
