Sam & Max

Finish the first reel, the point at which it is done is when you successfully solve the Challenge of the Sphunx with the Can o' Nuts.

The point at which this is triggered is when you insert the extra blocks into the spell.

The reel ends when you finish searching either Jurgen or Kringle's trunks depending on which you do last.

Finish the episode by getting Papierwaite to speak the words while in the circle.

Use the Ventriloquist Dummy on every target you can. The list of targets is below:

1. Tomb Idol - behind you at the start.
2. Sameth
3. Kringle
4. Weird Squid Statue
5. Guardian
6. Nefertiti
7. Mole Man
8. Grandpa Mole
9. Amelia
10. Sarcophagus
11. Jurgen
12. Mole trunk
13. Vampire Slushie
14. Papierwaite

This means that you should complete the entire game without having to get a curse reapplied or removed, accidentally or not. The points at which you are cursed are as follows:

1. Reel 2 - Bad Luck Curse - Granpa Mole - tell him you're from Stuttgart.
2. Reel 2 - Holstein Hex - Nefertiti - stealing Dummy.
3. Reel 2 - Sexo Rejexo - Mole Man - use Dummy to say that Nefertiti is in love with Sameth & Maximus.
4. Reel 3 - Sexo Rejexo - Mole Man - tell him that his daughter is still in love with Sameth & Maximus.
5. Reel 3 - Holstein Hex - Nefertiti - show her love letter to her father.

At various points you'll be able to die in this game. Luckily they're not permanent deaths and don't really penalise you. The various methods are below:

1. Fail to say the correct phrase to escape the tomb at the start.
2. Reel 2 - Wait around at the start and get thrown off the train.
3. Reel 2 - Click on the Toybox after the Protection Spell has been cast.
4. Reel 2 - Attempt to enter the Burial Chamber before Amelia has been picked up by Grandpa Mole.
5. Reel 2 - Attempt to walk through the Two Doors whilst under the Bad Luck curse.
6. Reel 2 - Enter Nefertiti's chamber and let the Asp eat you.
7. Reel 4 - Say the correct phrase to resurrect Yog Soggoth.
8. Reel 4 - Let Sameth drop into the Ants, this will take a while.
9. Reel 4 - Finish the game.

You don't need to do the entirety of a reel before starting the next one, you just need to do the final actions of the reels in the correct order. So before putting the blocks into the spell in Reel 2 you need to have solved the Challenge of the Sphunx. And before you search the final trunk in Reel 3 you need to have put the blocks into the spell in Reel 2. Reel 4 can't be completed until the others are so there's no worry there.

This means that you need to get Jurgen to be transformed into a Vampire before you show the Mole Man Nefertiti's letter.

Simply have the Bad Luck curse from Grandpa Mole on you (tell him you're from Stuttgart) at the time when you take the Dummy from Nefertiti. That means to get to her you either need to use the Bust of Sammun-Mak to break the doors or you need to use the Can o' Nuts when approaching the doors. Otherwise the Bad Luck curse will kill you.

To get this one take a look inside Jurgen's closet to find an idol of Yog Soggoth in there. Then search Kringle's chest where you'll find a note from The Brotherhood of Yog Saggoth. Return to Jurgen's room and talk to him about the Brotherhood. Since you need to have left him in the room you can't get this and Doppel Fluch on the same playthrough as he will otherwise be at the Sarcophagus or he won't be a vampire when he gets the Sexo Rejexo Hexo from the Mole Man.

Simply wait to try the challenge until you have the Can o' Nuts from the elves.
