How do I get a ring for Elaine?
  • 1 of 11: It's in the Goodsoup family crypt.
  • 2 of 11: The bride-to-be won't give hers up until she is married.
  • 3 of 11: So find her a husband.
  • 4 of 11: Talk to her, and you'll discover she was in love with the man who's now lying dead in the hotel room.
  • 5 of 11: You just need to get him to her.
  • 6 of 11: Notice the lovely view out of his hotel room?
  • 7 of 11: The one of the cemetery.
  • 8 of 11: If the bed weren't nailed down, Charles might just fly through the wall.
  • 9 of 11: Well, there are those pesky boards covering the hole in the wall.
  • 10 of 11: So get rid of them.
  • 11 of 11: Use the crowbar from the Goodsoup crypt on them, and then use the crowbar to pry up the bed.  When you return to the crypt, the bride will have her groom, and you can get the engagement ring.
