Grim Fandango Hints
How can I get my first client?
1 of 16: You should check your messages.
2 of 16: There's a note in the message tube behind your desk.
3 of 16: There's been a mass poisoning in the Land of the Living. You should find some way of getting there.
4 of 16: Check the garage in the basement of the building. (There's a separate elevator to take you there -- it's the one on the left as you're walking away from Eva's desk.)
5 of 16: One of the exits from the garage will lead to the Land of the Living.
6 of 16: But you need to drive through that exit, and you don't have a driver.
7 of 16: Look around, and you should find someone to help you.
8 of 16: Talk to Glottis. He's in the men's room.
9 of 16: He would drive you, but he seems to be too big.
10 of 16: Or maybe the problem is that the car is too small.
11 of 16: Suggest this to him, and he'll agree to be your driver.
12 of 16: All he needs is the permission to modify your car so that he can fit in it.
13 of 16: That requires getting Copal to sign the work order that Manny gives you.
14 of 16: Once you get the work order signed, you'll automatically go to the Land of the Living, where you will find your client in a brown paper wrapper.
15 of 16: Reap his soul.
16 of 16: Just use your scythe on the person, and you'll go back to your office.
