Space Quest V: The Next Mutation Hints
How do I get Cliffy out of the brig?
1 of 8: Well, make sure you can get to the brig first. See the previous question if you need help with that.
2 of 8: You need something that will eat metal, but not eat Cliffy.
3 of 8: Remember that the bars are made of metal.
4 of 8: Do you remember anything else that could break through metal?
5 of 8: How about a little friend of yours?
6 of 8: Spikey will do the job if you go back and get him.
7 of 8: Just drop him on the bars and he'll dig out Cliffy.
8 of 8: I'm not sure about this, but you may need to put antacid in the habitube before you take Spikey out. It's worth a couple of points, so it wouldn't hurt to do it, even if it isn't necessary.
