Grim Fandango Hints
How do I kill Hector?
1 of 16: Why not shoot him with the gun that Sal was able to provide you?
2 of 16: You won't go into the greenhouse as long as Hector has ammo.
3 of 16: But maybe you could get him from outside the greenhouse.
4 of 16: Walk to the section of the greenhouse just to the right of the door (where you get a closeup of a section of glass) and shoot Hector from there.
5 of 16: He's way too good at dodging your shots, though.
6 of 16: And he has lots of ammo.
7 of 16: As much as you do.
8 of 16: This is going nowhere.
9 of 16: You'll need to look for another way to shoot him.
10 of 16: Sproutella is still deadly, in a bullet or not.
11 of 16: See if you can get the sproutella to fall on him in another way.
12 of 16: Remember that Hector is in a greenhouse.
13 of 16: Which must have some kind of sprinkler system.
14 of 16: In fact, there's a giant water tank at the bottom of the hill.
15 of 16: Shoot that instead, and the sproutella will travel through the water to kill Hector.
16 of 16: Open the door into the greenhouse, and the game will be over. Congratulations!
