Grim Fandango Hints
How can I get into the room once the demon is there?
1 of 8: Maybe you should just leave the demon to do his job and concentrate on other puzzles for now.
2 of 8: When you leave the communications room, the demon will follow you out. Go back and see if you can get into the room now.
3 of 8: Hmm ... the deadbolt is no longer set, but the door must still be closed from the inside.
4 of 8: Looks like this demon is too forgetful to check the lock on his way out.
5 of 8: You might be able to do something to the lock to keep the door from closing the next time around.
6 of 8: Repeat the process to get the demon into the room, and take a closer look at the lock this time.
7 of 8: You can reach the deadbolt controls when the door is open.
8 of 8: Just set the deadbolt while the door is still open. Then, leave the control room again. This time, the demon will try to shut the door, but since the deadbolt is set, it won't close. You should now be able to get to the messages.
