1.1 Introduction to Day of the Tentacle

Day of the Tentacle is a graphic adventure game release by LucasArts 
Entertainment Company. Before LucasArts was known for their many Star Wars 
games, they had a huge following of adventure fans, and were one of the most 
popular adventure game companies in the industry. LucasArts, formally LucasFilm
Games, created an outstanding collection of well loved adventure games that 
ranged from stories involving pirates to tabloid reporters, and everything in 
between. Their first adventure game, MANIAC MANSION is actually the prelude to 
DAY OF THE TENTACLE and was released about 8 years earlier. Their latest 
adventure game has been ESCAPE FROM MONKEY ISLAND (2000), the fourth in another
amazing adventure series. 

DAY OF THE TENTACLE (DOTT) was release in 1993, during the height of LucasArts'
popularity. It was one of their earliest games to include full digitized voice
effects, and a separate CD "Talkie" version was released along with the 
traditional 3 1/4" floppy version. Even to this day DOTT is remembered as one
of LucasArts finest titles, as can be attested by its induction into GAMESPOT'S
"The Greatest Games of All Time" list, on April 20, 2004.

One reason DOTT has always been popular is largely due to its great cartoon-
style humour. DOTT has seriously got to be one of the funniest games I have 
ever played. Additionally, DOTT's cartoon graphics and wacky annimation still
to this day look fresh, original, and less dated than many games that have been
around for 13 years.

As a quick synopsis, DAY OF THE TENTACLE is a wacky adventure where one of Dr. 
Fred's pet tentacles mutates into an insane genius, and tries to take over the 
world. Well, what possible harm could one insane, mutant tentacle do?

You are about to find out...

On a personal note, DOTT remains one of my favourite games, and is only 
surpassed by the Monkey Island series. For some reason I've always been more 
interested in pirates than mutant green tentacles that are trying to take over
the world... go figure.

1.2 Introduction to the guide

In this guide I will attempt to provide a complete and useful aid that will 
help you to finish Day of the Tentacle. Some people believe that by using 
walkthroughs you are cheating yourself, and that they should be avoided. I, 
on the other hand, rather use a walkthrough or guide to help me through a 
particularly frustrating puzzle rather than giving up on a game and never 
completing it. If this guide helps even one more person to finish this amazing
game I will know that my effort that went into this guide was worth it.

This guide is made up of many different sections, and depending what type of
help you are looking for, one section might suit you better than others. First,
there is a hint section for general clues that might help you overcome an 
obstacle, without giving the puzzles away. Then there is a complete detailed 
walkthrough section that describes one method of completeing the game in 
detail. This is the most comprehesive section of the FAQ. For those of you 
who prefer quick instructions to finish the game without extensive reading, 
check out the Step-by-step walkthrough section. I've also included a list of 
all the interactive items you will be using and where they can be found, along
with lists of all the locations and characters in the game. For added bonus 
I've also included the majority of the cutscene dialog found throughout the 
game, and a complete credits list. 

Side Note: 
You may be wondering why I wrote this guide for a game that already has quite 
a few walkthroughs and FAQs available (some of which are really quite good)... 
well my answer is this: I wanted to write a guide, and as all my favorite games
already have guides written for them I thought I wouldn't worry about it and 
just write the guide that I would enjoy the most - yes, the main purpose of 
this guide is to help people finish the game, but if I didn't enjoy writting 
it I would never have finished. I thought that Day of the Tentacle would be a 
very interesting guide to write, as it is one of  my all-time favorite games. 

It should also be noted that I have not read any of the other available
walkthroughs in detail, and that this entire guide is completely my own work. 
Obviously some of the sections that I have included may be found in other 
guides, but everything found in this file is my own work and I did not refer 
to any other source other than the game itself while I wrote it.

DOTT is an old DOS-based game, and due to the many advancements in computer 
technology you will be very lucky to get DOTT to run properly on a newer 
machine. Most likely it will run, but there will be no music or sound effects. 
Personally, playing DOTT without the awesome music and without the superb 
voice-over actors would be like eating lasagne without meat, cheese, and... 
well, anyway, it would definitely take away from the experience. Fortunately 
there are a few things you can try-

1) SCUMMVM - This program seriously rocks. Thanks to some hard-working 
individuals there is a free program out there that will allow you to play all 
your old LucasArts games (and others) on the newest systems with full voice 
and sound. Additionally, there are many other options where you can add 
filters to the graphics, play the game in a window, etc...
Believe me, when I found out about SCUMMVM and found out most importantly 
that it actually works, I was so thankful that I could finally play DOTT, Sam 
and Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, 
etc... on Windows XP.

www.scummvm.org

Additonally you can ask for help relating to old LucasArts games and using 
SCUMMVM in the Help forums at www.lucasforums.com

2) Another option is to find a computer that is dated just like the game. A 
good 486 with a CD-ROM drive and sound card should be able to play DOTT just 
fine. Otherwise stick with SCUMMVM.

Pick up everything you can. Odds are, at some point all those strange things 
will serve some purpose.

If you get stuck and can't figure out how to proceed, try looking through all 
the items you've found and thinking about how each one might be used. Think 
about the places you've gone and the people you've met. Chances are there will
be a connection that will put you back on track.

If you become frustrated with one particular puzzle try working on something 
else. This a very non-linear game so many of the puzzle can be solved in any 
order. Plus, there are times that by solving one puzzle you will inadvertently
allow yourself to solve another.

Note: The above hints can be found in the LucasArts game manual.


During the cutscenes in the middle of the game, when it shows different events 
happening around the mansion, hints are often revealed about what you should be
doing next.

If you become really frustrated you can always take a break and play the 
original Manaic Mansion by accessing the computer in Weird Ed Edison's room... 
or you could aways resort to the walkthrough presented in this guide!

Although there is a set story that you progress through, there may be
times when you will be tempted to stray from this guide if something attracts 
your attention. I found this game to be very non-linear (meaning that you can
solve many of the puzzles in any order), one reason I really like this game - 
if you get frustruated by one puzzle you can always go somewhere else and 
explore another part of the game. However, for the sake of this guide I will 
provide the quickest route through the game - follow this guide and you will 
be able to successfully complete the game. Deviate from this guide and you may 
find some interesting things to look at or characters to talk to that you 
would have otherwise missed - you should always be able to come back to the 
guide if you get stuck and I will try to label different sections of the game 
clearly. As a testament to the mainy quirky animations and hidden lines of 
dialog, I just noticed something I completely forgot about - while I was 
typing this Benard got tired of waiting for me and decided to pick his nose!


4.1 Objective: Find Doctor Fred's Secret Lab

Okay, this is where you begin. Your first order of business is to find Doctor 
Fred's Secret Lab and rescue the tentacles. Take a look around the room you 
are in, which will be hereafter called the lobby, or Front Hall. If you try 
to go through the double doors Benard will tell you that Laverne has that 
territory, and likewise Hoagie is looking up the stairs. Bernard will also 
not be able to leave the house until he finds the tentacles. Before you move 
on you can pick of a few things in this room : The Vaccum Cleaner Flier, the 
Help Wanted sign in the window, and the dime in the change return of the 
phone. You can try to pick up the dime on the floor, but it is stuck in a 
piece of gum. After picking up these items enter into Doctor Fred's office to 
explore and pick up a few more useful items (for later). Open the desk drawer 
and you can pick up the Booboo-B-Gone. The Swiss Bank Book on the desk will 
also prove useful.After exhausting Doctor Fred's office return to the Front 
Hall and open up the grandfather clock, revealing a hidden passage to Doctor 
Fred's secret lab.

4.2 Objective : Find Doctor Fred's super-battery plans

After a rather long and informative (not to mention downright hilarious) 
cutscene you will be once more in control of Bernard down in Dr. Fred's secret 
lab. From the cutscene, Doctor Fred has made it prefectly clear you have to 
1)Find the plans for Doctor Fred's super-battery 2)Bring back Laverne and 
Hoagie from their respective times, which involves getting a new diamond and 
plugging in their time machines 3)Save the world from Purple Tentacle, and 
finally, 4)Get out of Doctor Fred's house. To start with, let's find those 
plans.

Although Dr. Fred is convinced that the plans are upstairs it might be a good 
idea to check his "To Do" list. Head over to the right side of the basement 
and you will see a bulletin board with a piece of paper stuck on it. Quickly 
pick up the plans and trigger the next cutscene.

4.3 Objective: Find RED Edison and give him the super-battery plans

At this point you can now play Hoagie as he adventures in the past. At any 
time you can switch to Bernard using the character symbol on the right of 
your inventory. Your first order of business is to give the super-battery 
plans to Fred's distanct ancestor, Red Edison, so head over to the left of 
the screen and take the path toward the Inn.

NOTE:
At different points in the game there will be quick scenes showing what else 
is going on elsewhere in the game. These scenes don't necessarly come in a 
certain order, but most of them contain clues about future puzzles in the 
game. Most likely one of these scenes will trigger when you leave the 
outhouses and walk toward the house. A dialog collection of these scences can 
be found in Sections 8.57, 8.65, and 8.77.

Have Hoagie walk to the Inn and open the front door into the main hall. You 
will now be in the front hall of the same mansion, 200 years in the past. 
Near the grandfather clock you will find Dead Cousin Ted (Ted made an 
appearance in the original MANIAC MANSION game, and plays a role later on in 
DOTT). You can talk to Ted at this point, but this, although very funny and 
definitely worth your time, will not progress them game in any way. To 
progress, the grandfather clock next to Ted will get you to Red Edison's lab. 
Once you enter the lab its a good idea to pick up the left-handed hammer, a 
seemingly useless item, which will play an important role later. You can take 
a look at the lab coat on the wall, but won't be able to pick it up right now 
- it is for employees only. Giving Red the super-battery patent application 
will reveal that he needs oil, vinegar, and some gold to fabricate the 
battery.

4.4 Objective: Find oil, vinegar, and some gold and give it to Red Edison

4.41 Objective: Get some oil and vinegar and free Laverne

Your job now is to locate some oil, vinegar and gold so that Red Edison can 
finish the Super Battery. The battery will eventually supply Hoagie with 
power to run his Chron-O-John allowing him to return to the present. You 
can now leave Red Edison's lab and go up the front hall stairs. You may 
notice a protrait of "The late Max Attucks" in the second floor hallway 
(Familiar? Maybe, if you played SAM AND MAX HIT THE ROAD). Enter the third 
doorway and you will find yourself in a bedroom with some kite plans on the 
wall. This is Benjamin Franklin's room. Look around for the wine-bottle and 
leave the room. Head back downstairs and enter the Fireplace Lounge through 
the double doors. Cross through the room and through the swinging door into 
the kitchen. On the shelves you will find oil and spaghetti. (Note: The oil 
is one of the items you need to give Red Edison, but the sphaghetti isn't 
important till later. In adventure games it is often a good idea to collect 
as many items as you can find, even if you don't need them right away. If 
you rather collect these items later, when their use is more apparent, you 
can always come back. An easy way to find the location of an item and to 
find out its use is to look in Section 6, which contains all the items in 
the entire game) Continue through the door on the right to the Storage Room 
(pantry). In here you can pick up the bucket and a brush in the cabinet on 
the left of the screen. Now return to the room with the fireplace and give 
the wine-bottle to Thomas Jefferson for his time capsule. The reasoning 
behind this is wine will turn to vinegar if you leave it long enough, say 
for a couple hundred years... 

Walk over to the fire place and climb up the chimney to the roof. Once you 
are on the roof enter the window and pick up the red paint. Open the trap 
door and go all the way downstairs and outside. Return to the outhouses and 
where you will notice a kumquat tree. Paint the kumquats red and return to 
the fireplace room. Talk to George Washington and Pick "Whoa, you're like 
George Washington!" Choose any second option and then "Is it true about you 
and the cherry tree?" and finally "I bet you've lost it. You couldn't cut 
down a tree to save your grandmother." After this conversation George will 
chop down the kumquat tree which he mistakes for a cherry tree. This action 
has a direct impact on Laverne, 200 years in the future. 

At this point you are now in control of all three main characters, and can 
switch between them at any time. Switch to Laverne, and you will find yourself 
stuck in a human Kennel. The inmates behind you are future relatives of Doctor 
Fred, and their bitterness toward him is definitely apparent. Try talking to 
the guard and tell him "Oooh... I don't feel so good..". The guard will bring 
you to the Tentacle Doctor, who will diagnose you to be perfectly OK. Once the 
doctor leaves you will have the oportunity to pick up the tentacle chart from 
the wall. Once you have the chart exit through the door. As part of the human 
race, Laverne is very restricted in her movement in the future. The chart 
plays an important part in allowing her to move about, but the key is in the 
past. Try going out the main door and you will find yourself back in the jail.
Talk to the guard again this time saying "I have to go to the bathroom!".
Once you are outside walk to the right and you will end up back at the Chron-O-
John. Flush the tentacle chart to Hoagie using the Chron-O-John (just pick up 
the object and click on Hoagie's icon) and switch over to Hoagie, 200 years in 
the past.  

As Hoagie return into the house and go up to the second floor. Enter the Sewing
Room (middle door) and pick the only option, "I've got another design change 
for the flag." Choose any of the following options and Betsy Ross will tell 
you to put the design on the table. Use the Laverne's Tentacle Chart with the 
plans on the table, which will cause a major change in history. The American 
Flag will be replaced with one in the shape of a tentacle. The Tentacle Flag 
will act as a disguise for Laverne, but first you need something to get the 
flag within reach.

Switch to Bernard and go up to the second floor. Stop by Dwayne's room (middle 
door). You can talk to Dwayne for a while, but before you leave grab the 
disappearing ink by the door. Before going upstaird enter the last room on the 
right (far end of the hall) and you will find Green Tentacle. After talking to 
Green Tentacle, pick up the videotape off the stereo and continue upstairs. Go 
all the way up to the attic and out the window to the roof. On the flag pole 
you will find a crank, which you should grab and send to Laverne through the 
Chron-O-John.

Switching back to Laverne, walk back to the front of the former motel and enter
the front door, ending back in the Kennel. Convince the guard that you are sick
again by saying "Oooh... I don't feel so good...", and you will be brought back
to the Doctor's Office. If you exit the office you will have a marginal amount 
of freedom to explore, enough to get to the room with a fireplace (door under 
the red sign). Climb up the fireplace and up onto the roof. Use the crank that 
you got from Bernard to lower the tentacle flag and "use" the flag to have 
Laverne pull it on as a costume. Grab the crank before you leave and head back 
down the chimney. Return the the main hall and walk past the Purple Tentacle 
Human Catcher and up the stairs. Enter the first door on the second floor and 
quickly switch back to Hoagie.

Have Hoagie send his can-opener to Laverne and Laverne will be able to use it 
to open the same time capsule Thomas Jefferson was making 200 years in the 
past. Inside you will find the same wine-bottle, which has now turned to 
vinegar. Have Laverne send the vinegar back to Hoagie, which he can later give 
to Red Edison.

4.42 Objective: Find some Gold

Your next order of business is to find some gold for the superbattery. Switch 
back to Hoagie, and return to the Fireplace Lounge if you are not already 
there. Try to pick up the gold pen on Thomas Jefferson's desk. You will then 
be plunged into a conversation. By choosing "Whassup? You cold?", "Why don't 
you build a fire?" and then any dialog line you will find out that Thomas 
won't build a fire unless he has a really good reason. Your next task is to 
get a fire built in the fireplace, which you can then use to distract the 
founding fathers, allowing you to make off with the pen.

4.421 Objective: Convince Thomas Jefferson that George is cold

Have Hoagie go outside in front of the house and open the mailbox. Grab the 
letter inside and send it to Bernard. If you read the letter you will find 
out that it was addressed to Benjamin Franklin, praising one of his new 
designs. As Bernard return to Dwayne's room and give him the letter. Dwayne 
will get really excited and leave the room. Once Dwayne has left pick up the 
flag gun on the floor and head down to the room with the fireplace. Switch 
the Cigar Salesman's lighter on the desk under the Rubber Chicken poster 
with the flag gun. (The Rubber Chicken poster is a reference to THE SECRET 
OF MONKEY ISLAND, a hilarious game where you are forced to use a rubber 
chicken with a pulley in the middle in one of the puzzles.)

After making the switch talk to the cigar salesman and choose the option "Nice 
cigars." and then "Sure, lay one of those Havanan babies on me." If you forgot 
to switch the flag gun with the lighter the cigar will blow up in Bernards 
face, otherwise you will be able to keep the cigar. 

Next, head over to the left side of the room and open up the grate near the 
wall. Return to the right of the room, past the salesman and you will see a set
of chattering teeth. You need to get the teeth, but if you get too close they 
will quickly scurry away. The trick is to force them over to the left side of 
the room and into the hole underneath the grate. Try to keep Bernard between 
the teeth and the hole at all times, and eventually they will get stuck. Pick 
up the teeth and send the cigar, lighter, and chattering teeth to Hoagie.

Now, once you switched back to playing Hoagie, you can give the exploding cigar
to George Washington. The cigar will explode and knock out his teeth. Give 
George the chattering teeth and Thomas Jefferson and John Hancock will build a 
fire, convinced that George is cold.

5.422 Objective: Distract the founding fathers so you can steal the gold pen

Now that there is a fire in the fireplace John Hancock will have stopped 
complaining and dropped his blanket to the floor. Grab the blanket and head up 
to the attic. Climb out the window and onto the roof, where you will see a wisp
of black smoke spirling upwards. Use the blanket over the top of the chimney to
fill the lounge with smoke, leaving Hoagie free to return downstairs and steal 
the gold pen.

Now that you have the oil, vinegar, and gold, return to Red Edison's lab and 
give him all three items. Once he has finish his creation, pick up the battery 
- now to get the battery charged...

4.5 Objective: Charge the Super-battery
4.51 Objective: Get Benjamin Franklin to return inside

In order to get the super-battery charged you need to find Bejamin Franklin 
and help him build a kite. As Hoagie, go up to the second floor of the Inn 
and enter the first door, into George's Room. Push the bed causing the the 
sheets to wrinkle. To summon the maid, pull the cord on the left of the door. 
Go out to the hall and swipe the soap from the maid's cart. Head down to the 
kitchen and use the bucket with the water pump, and then add the soap to the 
mix. If you then return outside you can instigate a storm by using the soapy 
water and brush with the old carriage (This puzzle is a little obscure, but 
Bernard will make a comment about how it always rains when he washes his car 
if you look at the dirty old car in front of the mansion in the PRESENT).

4.52 Objective: Find a suitable material for Ben's kite
If you go upstairs to Ben's room and offer him something he will say "If it's 
not a lightweight, waterproof material, I don't want it!" In order to help 
Ben out with his new electrical experiment he requires a material for a 
lightweight kite. Go back down into Red Edison's lab and switch over to 
Bernard. Send the Help Wanted sign to Hoagie and have Hoagie give the sign 
to Red Edison. Red will then hire Hoagie as a lab assistant, allowing you to 
pick up the lab coat on the wall. With the coat head up to the second floor 
and enter Ben's room. Give the lab coat to Benjamin Franklin.

4.53 Objective: Charge the super-battery
Now that you are out on the hill with Benjamin Franklin flying his kite you 
have the oportunity to charge up the super-battery. Once Ben leaves the 
screen you will have a limited amount of time to 1) put the battery in the 
pocket of the kite ("use" battery with kite) and 2)push the kite, before Ben 
says "Now". If on the first try you don't manage to attach the battery and 
push the kite then you will be given an additional chance (unlimited actually) 
to try it again. Once you manage to get the battery and kite into the air a 
lightning bolt will strike down, charging the battery. Benjamin Franklin will 
take off and you can grab the fully-charged battery from the ground. Finally, 
bring the battery over to the outhouses and use it to power Hoagie's 
Chron-O-John.

4.6 Objective: Provide power for Laverne's Chron-O-John
4.61 Objective: Get to the basement of the mansion (FUTURE) (distract the 
Purple Tentacle Human Catcher)
4.611 Objective: Enter a contestant in the Human Show

In order get down into the basement of the mansion, Laverne must first distract
the Purple Tentacle that is guarding the entrace to the basement by the clock. 
As he is a Human Catcher, the only way to distract him is to give him a loose 
human to chase! Your next task is to distract the Purple Tentacle Guard so that
Dr. Fred's descendants will try to escape from the prison.

If you talk to the Purple Tentacle Guard, he will try to make a pass at 
Laverne, and you will find out that in order to distract him you will require a
ticket toClub Tentacle for a date. Luckily there is a human show going on 
upstairs, where the first prize is a ticket to Club Tentacle. As Laverne go 
back to the room with the fireplace and talk to the blue tentacle. He will 
then give you a human name tag to enter a human in the show.

Now go up to the second floor and enter the second room. Pick up the roller 
skates and the red extension cord. Now use the roller skates and the name tag 
on the mummy. Push the mummy and it will then roll quickly down the stairs, 
allowing you to enter him in the human show. Go all the way upstairs and 
continue until you reach the judging floor.

4.612 Objective: Win the human show
4.6121 Objective: Spruce up the mummy
If you talk to the judges in the room to the right, you can ask them to judge 
the contestants in each of the three categories: best laugh, best hair and best
smile. In order to win first prize the mummy must win in all three categories.

First, in order to win best laugh you need to send your scalpel to Bernard and 
then as Bernard walk to the fireplace room. After using the scalpel with the 
clown pick up the box o' laughs and send it to Laverne along with the fork.

Now, to get a smile for the mummy send Bernard's textbook to Hoagie. Hoagie can
then go downstairs and use Bernard's textbook with the horse to put it to 
sleep. This will allow him to pick up the horse's dentures from the glass of 
water. Send the dentures along with the spaghetti to Laverne.

At this point switch back to Laverne and use the soggy noddles, dentures and 
box o' laughs with the mummy. You can then use the fork with the mummy's 
head to style his hair.

4.6122 Objective: Get rid of Harold and win the contest
Although at this point Dead Cousin Ted is highly stylish, you still will need 
to remove the competition in order to win first prize. Switch back to Bernard 
and go upstairs to Green Tentacle's room. Push over the speaker and turn on 
Green Tentacle's stereo. This will cause the fake barf stuck to the ceiling 
downstairs to unstick itself and fall to the floor. You can now turn off the 
stereo and grab the fake barf from downstairs.

Send the barf to Laverne, and have Laverne use it with Harold. This will cause 
him to be disqualified from the contest.

Now that Harold is out of the way, you can venture over to the right into the 
"highly restricted judging area" and have them judge the three categories.

4.613 Objective: Remove the Purple Tentacle Guard
Now that you have the pass to Club Tentacle go back downstairs to the prison 
and give the ticket to the guard. He will immmediately ditch Laverne and take
 off.

4.614 Objective: Distract the Purple Tentacle Human Catcher
You now can turn off the switch to free the Edisons, but you will find that 
they are less than willing to leave their cell. You can try to convince them 
to leave, but it soon becomes obvious that the only thing that will get them 
to leave is if they are frieghtened by a skunk.

Switch back to Bernard and pass the Booboo-B-GoneTM to Laverne. Change back to 
Laverne and go out the front door to the front yard. You will notice that there
is a stray cat rubbing its back against the fence. Use the Booboo-B-GoneTM with
the fence and it will leave a white streak along the cat's back. Voila! A 
skunk-like cat!

Now switch back to Hoagie and head up to the attic of the mansion (use either 
the stairs or go through the chimney if you like). Sit (use) Ned's bed (the 
squeaky one) and you will be able to distract the cat for a few seconds. Now, 
switch the the two mattresses (use the squeaky mattress with Jed's bed to 
switch them). Now when you 'use' the squeaky mattress you will have time to 
quickly go over and snag the squeaky mouse toy before the cat returns. Take 
this opportunity to send the toy to Laverne, and she can use it with the 
skunk-like cat on top of the roof of the mansion. Once you have the cat go back
into the kennel.

Perfect! Use the skunk and watch. (This has to be my favorite animated scene in
the entire game).

After the cutscene you are now free to go back to the front hall, open the 
grandfather clock and enter the basement...

4.62 Objective: Provide power for the Chron-O-John
Now that you made it to the basement you can use your extension cord to plug 
into the crazy machine with the wheel. Obviously you will need to find some 
sort of rodent to power the machine.... Anyway, use the other end of the 
extension cord with the side window.

4.621 Objective: Find a suitable rodent to power the generator
As Bernard go back upstairs to Weird Ed Edison's room. You may remember 
from Maniac Mansion that Weird Ed kept a hamster in his room (which, 
depending on your actions in that game, may have had a very unhappy experience 
involving a microwave...). Grab Weird Ed's hamster and return down to the 
second floor. Nearby the stairs you will find an old ice machine. Open it and 
use the hamster with the machine. This will allow a very cold and fozen hamster
to appear in the future.

Switch back to Laverne and climb up to the second floor. Open the ice machine 
and pick up the frozen hamster. You will now need to dethaw the hamster, so 
head downstairs to the kitchen (door to the left of the fireplace) and use the 
hamster in the microwave.

Unfortunately the hamster will be still too cold and wet to have any 
motivation required to power the machine in the basement, so you will need to 
find something warm to heat him up.

As Laverne go through the door to the right into the laundry room and switch 
back to Bernard. Now go into the first door on the second floor - if you close 
the door you will find some keys which you can then take outside and give to 
the man in the ski mask. He will thank you and then drop his crowbar which he 
was perstiently using to try and break into an old car. Now return to the front
hall and use the crowbar with the piece of gum stuck on the floor. To remove 
the gum 'use' the gum with the dime stuck in it and Bernard will chew the gum 
and remove the dime.

Return the first room on the second floor and use both of the dimes you now 
have in the FickleFinger coin slot. This will cause the room occupant to 
shift off the bed and onto the floor. Pick up the uncovered (soaking wet) 
sweater. 

Now that you have the sweater you need to find a way to send it to Laverne in 
the future and shrink it at the same time. Go back to the hallway and use the 
crowbar with the candy machine to get a whole pile of quarters.

Now that you have a ton of quarters, go downstairs to the laundry room and use 
the sweater and quarters in the dryer. Switching back to Laverne you will find 
that the sweater is done and is now a perfect hamster size! Using the sweater 
with the hamster you can now return to the hotel basement and put the hamster 
on the generator wheel. 

Unfortunately you will now find that the hamster ran off into a mouse hole, 
so you will need to find a way to get him back. Switch to Bernard and send 
the vacuum cleaner flier to Hoagie. As Hoagie use the flier in the suggestion 
box found in the middle of the Fireplace Lounge. After some discussion it 
will now be part of the American constitution that every Amercian should 
have a vacuum cleaner in their basement. 

Now as Laverne, use the "U-SUCK" built-in shop vac with the mouse hole, open 
the hatch on the shop vac and pick up the dust ball. Using the dusty warm 
hamster on the generator you will be able power the Chron-O-John without any 
further delays. Go back outside and use the extension cord with the plug for 
the Chron-O-John.

4.7 Objective: Find a diamond for the time machine
Now that you have been able to power both Hoagie and Laverne's Chron-O-Johns, 
you need to aquire a new diamond for Dr. Fred's time machine. As Bernard, if 
you return to the fat man's room and turn on the television you will see an 
add for a perfect diamond. Unfortunately, you will need to acquire some 
funds...

4.71 Objective: Acquire funds to obtain an outrageously expensive diamond
4.711 Objective: Get the contract from Dr. Fred's safe
You can now go back downstairs and use Dr. Fred's phone in his office. After 
finding out that Dr. Fred doesn't have enough funds to purchase the diamond, 
you can go and talk to Doctor Fred. By following the below dialog options you 
will discover that Dr. Fred is in possesion of a contract that could 
potentially provide you with enough currency to purchase the diamond you need.

"We have to do SOMETHING!"
"Why can't we just fix the time machine?"
"I thought you were rich!"
"What contract?"
"Let's go get the contract out of the safe and sign it!"

At this point you can now stop talking to Doctor Fred. You need to get the 
contract, but unfortunately Dr. Fred will not give it to your freely. You must 
first force him to fall asleep so that he can open the safe in a state of 
sleep walking.

Go the front hall and through the double doors, and into the kitchen. Pick up 
the decaf and regular coffee, and then pass through the door into the laundry 
room. Open the cabinet and pick up the funnel. You can now return to the 
basement and use the decaf coffee with Dr. Fred's mug. 

Switch to Hoagie and go up to the third floor, entering the room opposite from 
the horse. Choose any of the dialog options and then replace the left-handed 
hammer with the right-handed hammer. After a longish cutscene, in which it is 
revealed that the statue in the surveyance room is altered, you can switch back
to Bernard. Go up to the third floor and enter the room on the left. You now 
have the opportunity to push Nurse Edna,and as the statue was altered she will 
not be able to stop herself from being knocked down the stairs.

Remember kids, "If you want to save the world, you got to push a few old ladies
down the stairs."

Now that you have the room to yourself, use the videotape in the VCR and look 
at the monitor. Press the red record button and you will be able to record the 
combination of the safe. In order to see the combo correctly, rewind the tape 
and switch the VCR from SP to EP (slow motion). This will allow you to read 
the combination (101 999 57). Eject the tape and return to Doctor Fred's 
office where you can now open the safe and pick up the contract.

4.712 Objective: Get Dr. Fred to sign the contract
Unfortunately, unless you get Dr. Fred's signature the contract is useless, so 
the first order of business is to free Dr. Fred from the attic. In order to 
free Dr. Fred, you will need to replace his body with something else, so that
the IRS doesn't know the difference...

Go to the Fireplace Lounge and head up the chimney. Enter the window and pick 
up the rope off Doctor Fred. Go back out onto the roof and use the rope with 
the pulley above the window. Now climb down the chimney and go outside to front
yard. Switch to Hoagie and send Bernard the red paint. Back as Bernard, use the
red paint on the mummy (Dead Cousin Ted). You can now use the dangling rope 
with Dead Cousin Ted, go back up to the roof using the chimney, and pull the 
rope. Back on the ground you will need to return to the attic and use Ted with 
Doctor Fred, after which will follow a fairly humourous scene. 

You can now use the rope with Doctor Fred, go back out to the roof and pull on 
the rope. Back on the ground use the funnel with Doctor Fred and use the 
regular coffee with the funnel - that should wake him up!

Now that Doctor Fred is again safe and himself, you need to talk to him in 
order to get his signature. Choose the following lines of dialog -

"Oh, forget it. I'll get rid of Purple Tentacle myself!"
"I'm starting up a petition to ban all tentacles."

4.713 Objective: Mail the contract
Now that you have the contract with Dr. Fred's signature, you need to return to
Weird Ed's room to get a stamp. Use the disappearing ink on his stamp album 
which will really tick him off... Out in the hallway, pick up the stamp and 
stamp album and then go back inside and give the stamp album to Weird Ed.

<<Remember, you can always play the original Maniac Mansion by accessing Weird 
Ed's computer>>

Now that you have the contract and a stamp, send them both to Hoagie and have 
him use the stamp with the contract and use the contract with the mailbox 
outside the mansion. This will trigger a cutscene in the PRESENT, in which 
LucasArts awards Dr. Fred a whole pile of money for the use of his family in a 
video game... go figure.

4.72 Objective: Purchase the Diamond
Anyway, at this point I would recommend switching back to Bernard, going back 
into Dr. Fred's office, saving the game, and going to sleep, as it is now 1:30 
in the morning and I could really use some sleep...

Okay, seriously, in Dr. Fred's office you can now use the phone, which will 
then lead to a very long and exciting cutscene (refer to 8.8 The Climax).

4.8 Objective: Save the World!
4.81 Objective: Make it to Dr. Fred's Lab
When you once again have control of the characters, you will find yourself in 
the fat tenant's room, hidding from Purple Tentacle. Go back out into the 
hallway and open the middle doorway, into Dwayne's Room. Most likely you will 
be stopped after this and shrunk again. If you didn't manage to open the door 
in time then wait to you regrow and then open the door. Wait till your shrunk 
again then go inside. If you managed to open the door the first time then enter
the room after you are shrunk. The idea here is to enter Dwayne's Room while 
you are small so that you can quickly walk through the mouse hole in the back 
of the room, into Green Tentacle's room. 

Once your resize pick up the bowling ball and return to the hallway, where you 
will find that Purple Tentacle has suddenly vanished...

You can now head downstairs to the lab.

4.82 Objective: Destroy Purple Tentacle and turn off the Sludge-O-MaticTM
In Dr. Fred's lab you will find an army of Purple Tentacles lined up in a V 
pattern in front of the Sludge-O-MaticTM. Use the bowling ball with the 
tentacles and watch them fly!

At this point you are really near the end of the game, and must come up with a 
way to outsmart Purple Tentacle. Talk to him, and by using the following dialog
choices you will spell his doom...

"Just what is it you have against humans, anyway?"
"Sounds like that's all Dr. Fred's fault, really."
"You're pretty handy with that ray gun."
"Why don't you zap Dr. Fred if you hate him so much?"

Congratulations! You have now successfully completed The Day of the Tentacle. 
You can now sit back and enjoy the final cutscene, epilogue and end credits, 
satisfied that the world is tentacle-ridden and everything is back to normal.

Or is it?!?
