Grim Fandango Hints
How can I get a gun?
1 of 13: The first thing you need to do is to get Bowsley out of Hector's tower.
4 of 13: You will find Bowsley cowering in his shop.
5 of 13: Remember that all florists in the Land of the Dead are confused.
6 of 13: I'm sure they'd serve anyone who called on them properly.
7 of 13: Take a close look at Bowsley's door.
8 of 13: What's that ball of tape?
9 of 13: Remove it.
10 of 13: Use your scythe on it. Make you're using the scythe on the tape itself. The description of the door also mentioned the ball of tape, but there are two different objects here -- the door and the tape.
11 of 13: You'll uncover a bell behind there.
12 of 13: Hmm ... a ringing bell might get Bowsley to help.
13 of 13: Leave his store and re-enter. He will give you a gun and sproutella once you return.
