Basic Walk-thru Guide (All Endings)

Basic walk-thru guide; there are multiple ways to complete the various areas of the game based on the different dialogue choices you make, which will close off some items and open up others based on how you treat the other characters. My advice is to play as a decent and understanding friend, not the jerk that your friends wonder why they hang out with. Just be consistent with your dialogue choices one way or the other.

There are 18 optional quests and 3 endings; a single play thru will usually get about half of the quests/puzzles completed; your dialogue and some of the quest/puzzles determine which ending you receive.

General Info

UNUSUAL FINDINGS: you play as Vinny Falco, a teen avoiding being grounded and looking for adventure. You are accompanied by your two partners in crime Nick and Tony.

The game is a pretty standard point and click adventure. left click the mouse to move your character and his friends; left clicking on the mouse at specific items/people allows for three options, the magnifying glass (look at an object), the text box (speak to someone/thing; also acts as the look button if a conversation is not possible) and the hand (grabs/opens/ takes items; hits people)

Your inventory is in the bag in the bottom left of the screen and you can view items or combine items as you see fit.

The "Space Invader" icon on the top right of the screen will show all interact-able items/people



TIPS:

Talk to everyone, it opens up more dialogue and allows you to add essential items to your inventory that are not discover-able any other way.

Use the Look button on everything possible.

Pick up every piece of junk laying around!



NOTE: Following this guide assumes your dialogue choices reflect the "good" friend, for ending A. This ending is slightly easier than the others to get. Want to increase the difficulty??? All you have to do is be a critical and unhelpful jerk to your fiends via dialogue.

In order to specify which ending you get, choose one of the two dialogue options at the selected points in the story; selecting only the 1st or 2nd option consistently solidifies which ending you will get, the third ending is a combination of alternating 1st and 2nd options consistently.

Prelude (getting grounded)

This section was initially the demo for the game, not a whole lot to do but it acts as a basic tutorial.

(Start) Vinny's Room:

At the burned up tree push it over to cross the stream
Notice the stream with the small dam for later (you can't do anything with it now).

Keep moving left and enter the pine woods area.
Encounter the wolves and decide what kind of friend you are via dialogue.

Alternative Choices / Endings

Ok, so if you are here you made some different critical dialogue choices and can't use the previous guide.


ACT I
if Tony doesn't give you the PONY AND CO. ID in the Treehouse then you need to go speak to the bum outside Nick's house. He will give you the BOOZ & BOOBS card which replaces it.

The RANGER FLYER is available from the shady guy outside the bar, harass him after you get the BOOZ & BOOBS card, then hit him. Take the RANGER FLYER from him.

If you can't get the TOE NAIL CLIPPERS from the ranger than you can still get the EXTENSION CORD from Carl and Andre at the Bridge, just take the cables sticking out of the side of the bridge box after the fire starts by using the Scout handbook of knots.


ACT III Secret Facility
If you are unable to get the MATCHBOX from the carved out crevice in the Construction Area, then you can't start the fire in the Server Room; You will have to substitute the GRENADE you get from the Conference Room; throw it at the Alien Soldier in the server room, he will spit on it and throw it back at you. Take the GRENADE to Ralf and he will take care of the Soldier.

If Nick won't jump out at the Alien Soldier in the Geology Lab when called chicken, then talk to the Alien Prisoner in the Detention Facility; Ask about helpful info, and he will give you the password to the lock in the Geology Lab "LatinLover200", get the SCARF from the locked case and take it to Ralf, who will hunt down the Soldier.

If you ate all the CHOZ PUFFS when picking them up, then you will be able to take the CORROSIVE ACID from the Geology Lab (Vinny proceeds to spill it on the locked wall lockers revealing the AIR FRESHENER); use the AIR FRESHENER in the Biolab air duct to put the Hellmite to sleep and then take the LEMON SEEDS.


ACT V: NORTHFOREST
If you can't talk to Skull Face about Monkey Kong, then you will have to fight Furio in the Abandoned Facility; Nick should start fighting and during the fight talk to Nick, Use dialogue in the following order:

#2 Punch him in the face;
#3 We believe in you!,
#4 Keep your guard up!;
then talk to Furio, tell him his mowhawk is falling down.

After Furio is down, Hit him and watch his beat down.

If you cannot challenge the Northforest Puncher game team in the Arcade, use the GAME TOKENS and the pastries from Samantha's house in the Skeeball machine to get the TICKETS for the WIRECUTTERS. Samantha will also cut the FLOPPY DISK from the BEAR if you need it done sooner.

If Tony is unable to do the "Van challenge", talk to the Principal by his telescope, then go through his memoirs, you will have to look, touch and talk to the papers to get the solution (Mrs. Perez likes horror movies), then go back and talk to the Principal and select the new option for why he should go talk to Mrs. Perez.
Take the EMPTY BEER CAN he discards
Go to the River Coast and fill it up with river water
Give the BEER CAN to the Lemon Kola girls to get your LEMONKOLA CAN.

Act X & F...and seeds and oil...(Ending B)

This is ending B; the game will play out approximately the same, however this will replace the last act at the comms tower in ending A and the underground facility in ending C.

Team Mystery Stalkers decides to use the Secret Exit in Northforest to reenter the facility once communications with the Bull and Ralf are lost. You start at the train terminal.


Train Terminal:
Move all the way right and push the mine cart revealing an air duct.
Use the #6 WRENCH to take the vent cover off to gain entry to the base.

After you get the CROWBAR return here and bust open the wooden crate to get the CORN SEED.


Hallway:
as soon as you enter the location, open the machine in front of you to get the MACHINE OIL.
Move right until you see the next air duct and use the #6 WRENCH again to get access.

After you have the WINE CORKER, use it on the blue plastic drum; after the scientist and guard pass by, they will drop SUBSTANCE F TUBE.


Junction Room A-7:
There are two more air ducts allowing access to the surveillance room and the crystal room here.

Note the giant air vent next to the fan; you can use it to communicate with the Bull on the surface but he has to be closer to it (via the camera joystick in the surveillance room)


Surveillance Room:
Look at the guard and the kids will notice he is wearing familiar prisoner orange.
enter the room and move the joystick by the monitors; it views left, right and center outside on the Bull and Ralf.

Move the joystick until you see the stacked metal crates with the wooden crate on top; hit the red button next to the joystick to fire the laser and blast the CROWBAR from the crate.

Keep moving the joystick until the Bull and Ralf are directly next to the open air vent on the surface. then reenter the air duct to the Junction Room, speak to the Bull and ask him to throw the CROWBAR down to you.

Once you have the intercom "314" code, Tony will send the distraction to the Crystal Room.


Crystal Room:
you can't do anything here until the admiral, guard and scientist are distracted; note the "314" on the computer intercom in the room to use on the intercom in the surveillance room.

You can also go further in the duct to the access vents room B-7

Once the aliens are distracted, open the vent cover and use the MACHINE OIL, CORN SEED and SUBSTANCE F TUBE on the substance X pool.


Access Vents B-7:
move all the way right and you will see a deceased prisoner stuck to an electrical box.
Use the rubber coated OVEN MITT to search the body and retrieve the WINE CORKER.



Once the items are all dropped into the Substance X pool sit back,
Get some popcorn, and finish watching the show!

Act ??? ...Welcome to X-Com! (Ending C)

This ending is C; the game will play out approximately the same, however this will replace the last act at the comms tower in ending A.

After you put Ralf back together at the end of Act V, Nick will insist you go in guns blazing to help the bull and you will arrive at the New Frontier Labs Northforest underground facility.


Underground area:
nothing for you to do initially, and when the alien soldiers arrive you have to run anyway.

After you get the EMPTY CHAINSAW (Main Hall), turn off the drilling machine and open the gas cap; use the HOSE (from the Laundry room) and siphon some gas into the CHAINSAW.

After you get the HAND from the dead alien soldier, use the steam venting off the drilling machine to warm it up (you will have to turn the drilling machine back on).


Laundry Room:
Use the WIRE CUTTERS and remove the HOSE next to the giant washing machine.
Note the dead alien soldier body for later.

Once you get the FULL CHAINSAW, use it with the dead alien soldier and take the HAND.


Main Hall:
Open the big locker by the oil spill and take the EMPTY CHAINSAW

After you have the warmed up HAND, use it on the hand scanner and confront the alien admiral for the finale.

[Ron]

Not a well written guide, as it tell you what to do with the object but not how to get it, it is all in random order....too bad it is the only English guide, fix it and i will shower you with awards!!!

[RetinaBurn]

In Alternative Choices in order to pick up the cable sticking out on the BRIDGE, its required to get the SCOUT BOOK OF KNOTS first and use it on the cable.

[stone.fire.smoke]

the grenade should be your only option if Nick won't give you a boost; get the code 424 from the white board in the geology lab (you should be able to look at it without defeating the soldier), then use the code to call the admiral in the conference room, he should get irritated with you and activate the grenade.

[osiris]

It does seem like I am stuck; I can't get to the MATCHBOX nor the GRENADE. I've been stuck here for a few hours now, gone through Act II a few times, done everything that was possible, but no progress can be made, or so it seems. Any advice?

[osiris]

Yeah, you sem to be right as Nick still is refusing to lift me up to the carved-out hole. Seem my assumption was wrong here.

[stone.fire.smoke]

No, the carved-out hole is where the matchbox is located; not having it prevents access to the server room.

The situation you are referring to is discussed in the ALTERNATIVE CHOICES / ENDINGS section of the guide; the grenade is the item Ralf needs to hunt down the soldier in the server room. The scarf is the item needed to eliminate the geology lab soldier but that is not directly affected by the lack of access to the carved-out hole.

[osiris]

UPDATE: In Act III , if Nick refuses to lift you up to the carved-out hole, claiming he's not a mule, head to the Geology Lab in the cabin's entrance and retrieve the scarf. Give it to Ralf, who will eliminate the guard, granting access to the Geology Lab.

[stone.fire.smoke]

not sure, maybe an unauthorized external link?

[Trey]

Why was the previous commentor's link removed?

[pugsonthemoon]

I used this walkthrough: {LINK REMOVED}https://vulgarknight.com/unusual-findings-100-completion/
