Things I don't know what to do with or how to do(Post Game Spoilers)

[Manatron]

Hello All,

I have beaten the game and found several of the secrets that were fairly well hidden however, there are still some items and things I have, and have gotten that I don't know what to do with. Perhaps you know and can help, or perhaps you don't even know where I got these things! There are also a few things I know are possible I just don't know what to do.

1. I saw people saying to get one of the Golden Stags you need to kill the flies that surround you behind the diner. I don't know how to kill them haha. The bug net doesn't do anything and the zapper also doesn't seem to do anything.

2. Arcade Token - This is gotten fairly early in the game, but I don't remember where. I was thinking perhaps the guy who won't move from one of the cabinets in the arcade would move later but nothing like that ever happened.

3. - Fishing Bait - I also saw some people talking about where to use this, but I haven't been able to find anywhere to use it

4. Cool Rock - In South City you get this from the digging guy's daughter. She says she wants you to give it to her sister. In the credits I didn't even see another daughter as a character so perhaps it's someone random?

5. - Rare Gordon - This is another item that isn't for battle that won't let me hold it. It's found by searching behind a certain tree near the Job Center (Sorry, I don't remember which one). The description is "A trading card with a very strange creature on it"

6. Pug? - You can chase the pug around and it rolls away at specific points. I had him run away and am now not able to find him again. Is this just a fun gag, or am I supposed to find him again and do something?

6. - Challenge Mode? - Obviously this is in the game because there is an achievement for it. I'm guessing I probably need to start a new game and then do something when you're on the computer interface and they have you launch the knuckle sandwich EXE, but since there is only one save I wanted to see if I could figure out any of this other stuff first.

Any ideas about any of these? Perhaps some questions of your own?

2,3- Take a gander round South city.
4- A ceeeertain character mentions having a bad history with caves and not wanting to talk about it in the forest of illusion, and Big Dig's wife is mysteriously missing...
6.The pug wants some kind of tasty treat if you talk to it, but what that treat is beyond me, honestly...

Challenge mode? Here's a hint: It has something to do with the Pocket Knife you get. And here's how to unlock it: You have to TOSS the Pocket Knife the boss gives you before fighting the Mystery Man. If you do decide to take on challenge mode i wish you the best of luck.

As for what challenge mode does? From my experience i think it raises the monsters stats and also locks the mini games to the maximum difficulty, you can turn off challenge mode at anytime if your having trouble.

Ah dang, I was hoping for 4 that I didn't have to give it to Gloss haha. Now that the game is over it crashes every time I try to go in her house. I'll have to let that one go for now

4. Is there a way to actually give the rock to them? I can't give/use or hold the cool rock. Or can you only do that past the forest of illusions?

EDIT: answering myself - had to come back after finishing the forest, then the dialogue shows up.

No one answer for #1 yet, so I'll just say it here:

Stand by the door that leads back to the diner after aggroing the flies, they'll soon be attracted to the "bug zapper"that's above the door and start circling around it instead of you. They'll slowly die off one by one once their path crosses with the center of the bug zapper. Note that this is entirely unrelated to the "Zapper" item you can find or buy in the game.
