Grim Fandango Hints

How do I get out of El Marrow?

  • 1 of 6: To get out for good, you're going to need the help of some powerful forces.
  • 2 of 6: Well, okay, the liberation is good enough for now.  (If you haven't met up with the liberation, keep solving puzzles until you do.  You'll know once you've found them.)
  • 3 of 6: They will let you out once you're a full-fledged agent.
  • 4 of 6: That means finding pigeon eggs and leaving your teeth for them.
  • 5 of 6: Once you've done both of these tasks, head back to the LSA headquarters and Sal will send you out to the Petrified Forest.
  • 6 of 6: You can get back into the headquarters by talking to the eye in the alley.
