Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints

How do I get the Spoon Bend Talisman from the gift shop?

  • 1 of 12: You don't have any lunar money, so you'll have to shoplift it. This is pretty easy, with a little help from your friends.
  • 2 of 12: Go into the shop and pick up the talisman. Now you can't walk out with it, because Harry Moleman always frisks you when you leave --
  • 3 of 12: -- but he doesn't frisk Max, does he?
  • 4 of 12: Give the talisman to Max, and now you can leave with impunity. But Max swallowed the thing, so how do we get it back out?
  • 5 of 12: It went in; it has to come back out. We don't have time to wait for it to progress normally, so we need to make Max puke.
  • 6 of 12: Don't bother trying to find something that will nauseate him; it can't be done. You need some magic --
  • 7 of 12: -- which you can get from Lincoln, who is inside the Blister of Tranquility.
  • 8 of 12: Use the Gastrokinesis Talisman on Max to get the Spoon Bend Talisman back. Now all you need to do is get it out of the display case it's in.
  • 9 of 12: When you talked to Harry Moleman about it, he listed the things the case impervious to, which notably did not include --
  • 10 of 12: -- heat. Where's a source of intense heat on the moon?
  • 11 of 12: Remember that short and useless ride you took?
  • 12 of 12: Use the talisman under the Lunar Lander engine, then use the key on the Lander to fire its engine and melt the spoon's case.
