In Bampusville to start go to the bathroom down the hall to the left, where Conroy is rehearsing his speech groups with Trixie and Bruno. When Conroy will get tired and go away, the road to the prisoners will block the light beam alarms. Go back one room to the right and take the picture from the wall of the naturalist John Muir. Then go down the hall to the right all the way to the bedroom Conroy. Take a pillow with traces of hair restorer and use hvatalki pull off the shelf over the door of a book - a guide to home care robot (by the way, the brand robot "Macrohard" parodies the famous company name "Microsoft").

Lee Harvey too late Sam and Max kicks out of his room, it's already done ^. Go to the room where the sitting Bruno and Trixie, and turn off the alarm on the key rack on the right. Bruno thankful for salvation, but to return to the freak show is clearly not going to - he prefers to visit the gathering of snow people in the hotel "Wild Jungle"! Following him will go there, Sam and Max.
Log in to the hotel, where the rally (the entrance is located behind the car of our detectives.) Unfortunately, the rally allowed only yetis. Give yeti input file. Combing heels bring him in good humor, but it's not enough to get inside. Talk to the innkeeper, as a result of a call to beg her set of promotional brochures. Look at the brochure, it will give you two new places on the map.
To get started, visit the exhibition vegetable-portraits. Give the old lady a portrait of John Muir, and it promises to make a vegetable in the near future. Take a pumpkin-head Conroy Bumpus on the bench on the right. Get in the car again and Karlovy Vary in Bampusvill. In the rightmost room, use this pumpkin on the wig Conroy, replacement will not be held for you for free, but at least the wig stays with you. Go back to the exhibition of vegetables and request a pumpkin portrait of Muir as it is ready.
In another place of advertising brochures * amusement park - go to the site with the dinosaurs. Click on the button at the T. rex, as he tells us about himself, again press the same button. To turn off the dinosaurs so that its lower jaw dropped, then Sam will be able to throw a rope to the jaw. Tie the other end of the rope to the Max - as a result you get a dinosaur tooth! As for the mammoth, it is enough to use it with Max to score a mammoth fur.
Go into the park, the swimming pool with the resin. Conversations with ill-mannered child queue is useless, all equal to the attraction queue is not empty, it is better to go up the elevator. Prepare for the jump: Put on your paper cup sliding hvatalku. Use a screen to put a snap to jump, then use hanging on a hook elastic cord. While Sam and Max are hanging over the pool to the resin, use hvatalku with the cup on the resin. When they will again be at the top, again, use a screen for changing clothes and come down. Everything is ready to participate in a meeting of snow people.
The hotel "Wild Jungle" use resin on a suit of furgonchika Trixie, and then to stick to the mammoth wool suit and a wig Conroy. Put the resulting shaggy Bigfoot costume (this call will list your property and apply the "use" of the suit). Of course, the snow man at the entrance will notice your cheating, but your file do a good job - you can go inside,
Take a banquet table a bottle of wine and go to the small door to the right of the stage. Take a long, thin knife to ice. Open the door to the back of the room, what a coincidence! Conroy came to hunt for yetis ... While Lee Harvey looking for a network to catch and remove his costume (again, you need to do on the screen with the property!). Conroy decides to change into your robe, until he and Lee Harvey fumble in the refrigerator, use Max on the refrigerator door. In the frozen your opponents well persist for a long time.
For the salvation of yetis old chief rewards of Sam and Max titles of honorary chiefs. He asks to solve the problem, on which many generations of fighting yetis: to unravel the meaning of the four pillars of totems. The leader is waiting for you in your cabin, which can be accessed from the right edge of the screen with pillars, totems. Be persistent, the first time may not turn (walk to the hut on the screen is not visible at all).
Take your time to the leader, things are not finished yet. Go to the restaurant "Tangle" and go up to the top. Give a turbaned psychic knife to ice, and he will twist it into a tailspin. Corkscrew you open a bottle of wine and a cork plug the ball, "snowflakes" from "Mystery Vortex."
Go to the "Mysterious Vortex" and the room behind the curtain with a whirlwind visit booth. While around Sam and Max are raging energy fields, use the ball on a box, plugged tube, balloon filled with energy, and the tube will not allow the energy to get out.
Now go to the hotel, the totem poles, and then - in a hut leader.
Give him in turn four items:
Balloon filled with energy.
- Dinosaur tooth.
- A pumpkin portrait of Muir.
- Pillow with remnants of hair restorer.
The case of the missing ends of the panopticon is extremely unexpected, is not it? The Adventures of Sam and Max are finished and we can only hope for a possible way to continue this great game.
