Grim Fandango Hints
Is there any way to make the elevator stop?
1 of 6: Yes.
2 of 6: There are two openings in the gate of the elevator that you can use to jam something in the doorway to force the elevator to stop.
3 of 6: The forklift from the wine cellar would do a nice job.
4 of 6: Drive it into the elevator, and line it up with one of the openings. Then, send the elevator up, hop onto the forklift, and drive it forward through the opening. Keep heading forward -- eventually, it will get caught in the doorway, and the elevator will stop.
5 of 6: Use the forklift to open the elevator door.
6 of 6: Pull the lever on the forklift to raise the blades. This will open the door, and you can go down into the hallway on the middle floor.
