The Pawnbroker

Take the passport from the bench. Talk to the guard to learn about a pawnbroker, then leave the spaceport. Head along the road to the left, then enter the bar. Talk to the guy wearing the pink shirt, then steal the ticket from his pocket. Also pick up the jar and cover from the table on the left and use the two together.

Head back outside and continue left, entering the pawn shop. Give the ticket to the pawnbroker and you will receive a camera. Pick up the vase and use it in your inventory to get a gum wrapper. Leave the pawn shop (you will put the vase back) and enter the alley you passed on the way. Continue left along the alley out to a new area with a food booth. Use your camera in the power outlet on the side of the booth to charge it. Pick up the oil can and look in the trashcan to find an egg. Talk to the Bikers and one will ask you to find his ornament. Return to the alley. Try to take the hat from the tramp here, but he won't let you; use your camera on him, then quickly steal his hat while he is blinded. Examine the hat and you will find some money. Also take the hose, empty bag and can.

Go to the pawn shop again and pick up the vase, then put it in your bag and walk out with it. Outside again, show your passport to the bouncer, then enter Paradise. Talk to the madam (in black), then give her the vase. Talk to her again about the reward, and you can take the ornament from the small table. While you are here, take the perfume from the small table, the cane from the floor and the gum from the receptionist's table.

Return through the alley to the food stall and give the ornament to the biker. Talk to him and your bag will be filled with money. Return to the bar and sit down in the left chair. Talk to the bartender and order a drink, then give him the change to receive the drink. After the fight, you will receive a single coin as change. Use this with your gum wrapper to make a token. Pick up the ring from the ground and head outside. Enter the subway station and use your token on the gate, then head down to the train platform. Use your oilcan on the screwdriver and pull it out of the vending machine. Also take the radio from the left end of the platform, then leave the subway.

Go to the bar once more and talk to the robowaiter. Use your screwdriver to remove its circuit board, then combine this with your radio to make a remote control. Go through the alley to the food stall, then through the other exit to reach the docks. Use your remote control on the robot here, then take the sailor's hat from the railing.

Go back to the pawn shop and talk to the pawnbroker, saying you have something he might be interested in. Give him the ring and he will tell you about a job. While you are here, give him the sailor's hat and you will receive a magic carpet.

The Egg of a Giant Kahoula Bird

Go down to the subway and board a train. Pick up the aerosol can from the floor and combine it with your hose. Get off at each of the 5 stations, then get back on the train; from now on you can look at the map on the train to jump to any station. For now, head to Regurgi Station. Leave the subway and pick up the hotdog from the hotdog stand. Return to the subway and go to East Eruk Station. Walk outside and use your screwdriver to pop the kid's balloon. Pick up the string and combine it with your cane to make a bow.

Return to Badside Station and go to the port. Hopefully a truck will arrive and you will hitch a ride into the zoo; if not, just leave and come back until this does happen. Inside the zoo, pick up the straw and then the grate to reveal a hole in the ground. Pick up the stick and a vine and combine the two in your inventory. Pick up the other vine and attach it to the hook in the ground. Use your perfume on the creature and it will fall off its ledge. Next use your bow on the ceiling to shoot your grappling hook up there. Use the hanging vine to swing over the gap and continue to the left.

Wait until the butterfly gets eaten by a plant, then try to pick up the rabbit and it will also get eaten. Feed your hotdog to the third plant. Now walk over and swap your egg with the egg in the nest. Return right and swing back across, then climb down the hole. Walk left and through the tunnel, then catch a train to Badside Station. Go up and visit the pawnbroker, giving him the egg.
