Grim Fandango Hints

How can I get into the wine cellar of the High Roller's Club?

  • 1 of 10: The only thing that the guard will take down to the wine cellar is an empty cask of wine.
  • 2 of 10: Or at least a cask he thinks is empty.
  • 3 of 10: Why don't you go into the kitchen and see if you can empty the cask that's there?
  • 4 of 10: The waiter seems to keep getting in the way if you try to empty it yourself.
  • 5 of 10: Try to get rid of the waiter.
  • 6 of 10: You're still not going to be able to get rid of all that wine yourself.
  • 7 of 10: Try to hide in it.
  • 8 of 10: But you'll need to get it open enough for you to climb in.
  • 9 of 10: You may have already seen a tool made for opening large items like this.
  • 10 of 10: The can opener from the kitty stables will open the lid of the cask, so you can climb in.  You will then be taken to the wine cellar.
