Sam & Max: Season 3 Hints

How do I get Momma Bosco's power core?

  • 1 of 9: Conversation with Momma Bosco isn't that helpful, but if you get a Future Vision on Momma Bosco --
  • 2 of 9: -- you get an image of her thanking Flint Paper for finding her power core. Let's go talk to him; he's in Stinky's Diner at the moment.
  • 3 of 9: He says he hasn't found it yet, so that's helpful. But where is it?
  • 4 of 9: Flint said tracking it down led him to a note to Girl Stinky, one that includes her cell phone number. So she must be involved in it somehow. Get a Future Vision on her and everything else in the diner.
  • 5 of 9: We saw her having a phone conversation and then leaving, and we saw Sam pushing a button behind the counter. The two actions are connected, in that we can't get behind the counter until she leaves.
  • 6 of 9: Once Girl Stinky is gone, go push the button behind the counter. This lowers one of the tables; go stand on it to find yourself in --
  • 7 of 9: -- the subway, standing in the middle of a pile of trash. Huh. So?
  • 8 of 9: There's no such thing as actual trash in adventure games, you know.
  • 9 of 9: Root through the trash to find an old scanner and -- ta dah! -- the power core.
