Sam & Max: Season 2 Hints

How do I stop Specs from winning a "modern" soul?

  • 1 of 12: You can find Specs over at Pimplecar, trying to win the soul of one of the C.O.P.S. That fiend!
  • 2 of 12: Chippy doesn't have the wherewithal to sin a music contest; he's an old-school low-end machine with what sounds like an internal DOS speaker, one beep at a time. Yikes!
  • 3 of 12: We can't do anything about upgrading his hardware, but maybe we can give him a program with some music in it. Something as simple as the game the Shambling Corporate Presence was playing at the office might help -- at least it would be better than nothing.
  • 4 of 12: Do you remember seeing a massive pile of game cartridges somewhere, like at the very start of the game?
  • 5 of 12: It was in the train station where you started -- that huge pile of little black boxes on the other side of the tracks.
  • 6 of 12: You can't reach them from the tracks, but you don't need to. See that crack above the pile?
  • 7 of 12: Go back up top and see if you can find the crack. Remember, next to the pile was the sign from the old Esperanto Bookstore that you saw next to Bosco's in Season 1.
  • 8 of 12: Okay, you found the crack! Now all you need is something to use as a sort of grappling hook, to reach down into the crack and snag a cartridge.
  • 9 of 12: Have you noticed that Satan is now out on the street? He's in front of Sybil's place, with all his belongings in a cardboard box. Aw, poor guy.
  • 10 of 12: On the other hand, he *is* the Father of Lies. Let's loot his box for goodies.
  • 11 of 12: There are a number of good things here, but the one you want for this issue is the chain of barbed paper clips.
  • 12 of 12: Use the paper clip chain on the crack to the left of Bosco's place, then use the Mimesweeper cartridge on Chippy to give him the musical ability he lacks.
