Grim Fandango Hints
What am I supposed to do in Rubacava?
1 of 11: You're here to wait for Meche.
2 of 11: But you can't do that until you have a job.
3 of 11: Celso Flores in the Automat has the only job worth having here.
4 of 11: You might be able to get him to leave his job, though.
5 of 11: Talk to him, and he'll tell you that he's looking for his wife. He'll even give you a picture.
6 of 11: You might as well explore the rest of Rubacava now.
7 of 11: Even the fog.
8 of 11: Captain Velasco will save you once you fall into the water. Maybe he can help you get a hold of Celso's wife.
9 of 11: Show him the photo, and he'll give you his log to prove that Celso's wife left without him.
10 of 11: I think Celso would want to know this.
11 of 11: Show him the captain's log, and his job is yours. This is the end of the year.
