Grim Fandango Hints
How do I get past the alligator?
1 of 10: There's only one safe place for you to be.
2 of 10: Drive as far forward as you can and climb up onto the ledge to your left.
3 of 10: You can only reach it when the car is in its upright and locked position.
4 of 10: Press the remote control you got earlier from Glottis to raise the car, and hop on the ledge.
5 of 10: Maybe you could sneak past the alligator if you walk across the ledge and go down the ladder there.
6 of 10: No such luck ... he notices you once you get on the ladder.
7 of 10: But maybe that's a good thing.
8 of 10: The alligator has turned around.
9 of 10: So his tail is now underneath the Bone Wagon, as long as you haven't gone down the ladder far enough for him to chase you back.
10 of 10: Use the remote again to lower the Bone Wagon, trapping the alligator.
