Grim Fandango Hints
How do I make my way through the maze of trees?
1 of 11: Notice that you seem to come out at a completely random spot whenever you take one of the openings in the trees?
2 of 11: That's because you need something to guide you.
3 of 11: There's really only one thing around here that seems to be much of a guide.
4 of 11: Pick up the signpost from the central screen in the Petrified Forest.
5 of 11: Put it back down to see what happens.
6 of 11: It seems magnetically attracted to the road to Rubacava. That could help you.
7 of 11: Take it into the maze, and see if you can use the sign to point the right way.
8 of 11: Keep dropping and picking up the sign and see which way it points. You should eventually be able to find the path to Rubacava this way.
9 of 11: Actually, the proper path doesn't go through/under any of the trees on this screen.
10 of 11: Try heading away from the trees.
11 of 11: Put the signpost slightly toward the camera from the middle of the screen. The exit that you want will be near there. Once you've found the exact location, the signpost will point straight down, opening up a ramp underground.
