Grim Fandango Hints

Where can I get tools for Glottis?

  • 1 of 12: He needs authentic Sea Bee tools.
  • 2 of 12: There are some Sea Bees on one of the docks around Rubacava.
  • 3 of 12: Talk to the Sea Bees and see if they are willing to help you.
  • 4 of 12: They seem to be too distracted by labor problems to be of much use to you.
  • 5 of 12: Maybe you could use that to their advantage.
  • 6 of 12: The lead bee just can't seem to find the right words to start a worker revolt.
  • 7 of 12: You should encourage him.
  • 8 of 12: The patrons of the Blue Casket probably have more of an idea about worker oppression than you do.
  • 9 of 12: In fact, they have a book on it.
  • 10 of 12: The title of chapter 1 seems to have exactly the words Terry is looking for.
  • 11 of 12: So show it to him.  This will start the strike that you've been waiting for. Too bad that Terry had to get put in jail for his cause.
  • 12 of 12: Once you've freed Terry, the Sea Bees' tools will be waiting at the docks. Glottis will pick them up when the time comes.
