Grim Fandango Hints

Is there any way I can get better clients?

  • 1 of 9: Not until you've gotten your first client within the game, no.
  • 2 of 9: Domino seems to be getting a very select list of clients.
  • 3 of 9: It's too bad that you don't have access to the same information that he does.
  • 4 of 9: He gets his messages just like you do -- through the message tube system running throughout the building.
  • 5 of 9: Maybe there's some way of intercepting the messages before Domino gets them.
  • 6 of 9: Go down to the communications room near wthe lobby.  It is now open to you.
  • 7 of 9: The actual message processor is locked, though.  You'll have to unlock that door before you can get any closer to the messages.
  • 8 of 9: But getting the door unlocked isn't enough.  The first time that you manage to do so, the demon who unlocked it will still be in there working to fix your mess.
  • 9 of 9: Once you're able to get to the message tubes, head for the red one, which belongs to Dom.
