Grim Fandango/Year One

Department of Death - Mass Poisoning
Open the message tube. You will receive a message about a mass poisoning, and clients are first-come first serve. While you're in the room, be sure to get the deck of cards.

Head to the garage, it is accessed in the hallway, through the elevator to the left. You should have a driver, but he was given a day off, thus you'll have to head to the back of the garage and knock on the shack. When you speak with Glottis, look for the dialogue options to have him drive the car, and say that the cars are too small. He will give a work order to modify the vehicle.

To have it signed, you'll need to do a bit of preparation first. Head outside, via the main elevator at the end of the main hall. When outside, head to the right of the building, and look for a rope on the left. Climb it, and enter Don's office through the window. Use the computer, and change the intercom response to tell Eva to sign it herself. Exit by the window.

Return to the office, speak with Eva. Tell her about the work order. When she contacts Don, the intercom will tell her to sign it herself. Bring the work order to Glottis.

You will reach the human world, where you see a sack on the ground. Get the scythe, and to cut open the sack.

Department of Death - Premium Client
You've got your client, Bruno, but he's only suitable for package transport, and not a premium client that's demanded by your manager. Since your coworker Domino is getting all the clients, you'll need to intercept one of them.

Find the clown outside the Day of the Dead parade, and get two dead worm balloons. While you're there, you could also get a cat balloon. Bring the two dead worms to the packing room, and fill them with two of the packing spray. Deposit them into the message tube, and they'll be sent to the sorting machine.

From your office, get the deck of cards if you haven't already, and take one card from the pack. Perforate it with the hole punch on Eva's desk.

Head to the mail room. Before speaking with the demon, manipulate the lock to prevent the door from closing. In the scene that follows, there will be a small fire, and you'll grab a fire extinguisher - the demon will stop you before you use it, because it's dangerous. He will leave, but the door will remain open.

Enter the machine room, and place the punched card in the red tube. You'll intercept a message about Mercedes, and will head there before Domino can reach her. Despite her being "premium", you don't have a travel package for her. Head to Eva - Don calls you into the office and reprimands you for various violations of policy, as well as letting Mercedes get away without any travel package. He then locks you in the mechanic's shed.

Joining the LSA
The exit is locked, but calling out shows someone is out there. Tell him you think the Department of Death is crooked and that you're willing to bring it down. There are two tasks - getting pigeon eggs, and giving your teeth.

Exit the LSA base. First, head to the parade, and get a cat balloon and some bread if you haven't already.

Climb the rope, and enter Domino's office. Head to the punching bag, and punch it until Domino's mouthpiece falls off, and pick it up. Also, search his drawer, and pick up some coral.

The coral may be attached to the rope outside the office to make an improvised grappling hook, allowing you to reach the roof.

The pigeons are a bit defensive about their eggs, but can be repelled with a few items. Put the balloon in the dish vent, and crumble bread in that vent too. The bread will attract the pigeons, but the balloon will pop to scare them off. You can then take the pigeon eggs.

Head to the garage and the small shed in the back. Fill the mouthpiece, and bite it to make a teeth impression.

Return to the LSA base, there's the suspicious hole on the wall that will allow taking the elevator. Give the pigeon eggs to Sal, and the mouth piece to Eva.

Petrified Forest
After reaching the petrified forest, he takes his heart out and throws it. You'll need to retrieve it by heading down the path where it flew away.

The heart attached itself to a web. Take a bone from the nearby pile, and put it in the web. Pull the web with the scythe to launch both the spider and free the heart.

With Glottis recovered, head to the upper-right exit. The mechanism seems to be suitable for upgrading the Bone Wagon, but needs to be shaken off first. Push the wheelbarrow across the pipes on the ground to adjust the timing of the valves - you want the two on the left to fire at the same time, and the two on the right to fire at the opposite beat. Cut power, then restore it when Glottis climbs up.

Take the sign post in the main area, and head to the left. Place the sign post in the middle - if it's a bit off, it will rotate towards where it should be placed. If it's in the right position, it will open a ground entrance, and bring you to the beaver dam.

There's a creepy sign ahead, with a key. Take it, and use it to enter the dam itself.

At the dam, pick up three bones. Head to the left. Throw a bone into the pit, then switch to the fire extinguisher. Use the extingiusher as soon as the beaver touches the tar. Throw the two other bones in the same way.

Return to Glottis, and he'll drive you to Rubacava.

Rubacava
You've reached the city, and now need to wait for Meche. For the long wait, you need a job.

Enter the building, and speak with Celso. He'll looking for his wive, and will give you a picture.

Explore the fog to the right. You'll fall into the water and get recued by Captain Velasco. Speak with him, and show him the picture, and get the captain's log in exchange. Give the log to Celso, and he'll leave.

You now have the job, and will be able to easily wait for a year.
