Day Of The Tentacle
                        LucasArts

           Walkthrough by Anna & Mark Bradshaw

The game is done in 4 parts: 1 part for each of the three
characters and a final part with all three of them. The characters
are spread through time but can swap objects with each other using
the Chron-o-John.

First section

As Bernard, go to the grandfather clock and open it. Climb inside
and you will automatically 'rescue' the tentacles. Now watch the
next few minutes of story to understand what is going on in the
game.

Once you have been sent through time, the game splits into 3
parts, 1 for each of the three characters. Note that these
sections cannot be completed in isolation. Each character comes
across objects which other characters require, which can then be
swapped using the Chron-o-John. To give an object from Hoagie to
Bernard, for example, move Hoagie to the Chron-o-John and use the
object with the toilet. A flushing sound should be heard. Now
switch to Bernard, move him to his Chron-o-John and the object
should be in the toilet. Pick it up!

These instructions show you the character to use to do something
with, followed by what they need to do. Because of the nature of
the game, you will need to swap quite a few objects between the
characters.

Bernard: First of all, you need to find Dr Fred's plans for his
super battery.  They can be found on the board marked 'To do' in
the basement next to the Sludge-o-matic. Pick them up and give
them to Dr Fred. He will flush them to Hoagie.

Hoagie: Walk to the south, then to the right. Talk to Ben Franklin
and find out what he is doing. Now walk to the west and up to the
inn. Outside there is a mailbox. Open it and take the letter from
the box. This is the letter that Bernard will need later in the
game. Now enter the inn. Walk to the grandfather clock, open it
and go down to the basement. You will find Red Edison here. Talk
to him and give him the plans for the super battery. He will tell
you what objects need to be found for the battery to be made. Take
the left handed mallet which is on Red's bench.

Hoagie: Return to the inn entrance and go upstairs. Go into the
first room and use the bed to ruffle the bed clothes. Pull the
bell cord to the left of the door to summon the maid. When she
appears, go outside and steal the soap from her cart. Go into the
next room along and talk to the sewing lady. She tells you that
any design for a flag is ok as long as you put it on the table.
Remember this for later.

Hoagie: Now go into the next room along. This is Ben Franklin's
room, and he can be found here later in the game. Pick up the wine
and leave again. Go up the stairs at the end of the corridor to
the next floor. Talk to the horse and see how lovely his teeth
are. These will be useful later...

Hoagie: Go into the room opposite the horse. You will find Red's
sons. When the right handed son puts his mallet down, swap it for
the left handed mallet you took from the basement. This causes the
statue which the two make to change, allowing Bernard to complete
a part of his section later. Next, take the stairs up into the
attic. Pick up the pot of red paint, then use the bed closest to
the cat to see the cat's reaction. He follows the squeak of the
mattress, but does not let you get to his toy. The solution is to
use this mattress on the far away bed, which gives you enough time
to pick up the mouse and make your escape via the window! Go down
the chimney to the main hall where John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson
and George Washington are contemplating the American Constitution.
Give the wine bottle to Jefferson for his time capsule, then exit
via the swinging door in the corner of the room.

Hoagie: Pick up the oil and spaghetti from the pantry and go
through the next door. Pick up the bucket, open the cabinet and
take the brush. Back through to next door and use the bucket on
the water pump to fill it. Use the soap on the bucket of water. Go
back outside and up to the carriage. Wash the carriage with the
soapy water to make it rain. Ben Franklin now hurries past as it's
raining. If you follow him up to his room, he explains that he
needs a light, waterproof material for his kite before he can do
anything more with his experiment.

It's now time to swap to Bernard. Move Hoagie to the Chron-o-John.
Paint the Kumquat tree red (it's next to the outhouses) and then
give Bernard the paint and the letter.

Bernard: Go upstairs from the basement. Go through the double
doors marked 'Welcome' (the party room). Ignore the clown and the
salesman just now. Go through the swing door into the kitchen.
Pick up the two coffee pots and the fork and leave through the
door you entered by. Go back down to the basement and give Dr Fred
some Decaf coffee. He will fall asleep and go upstairs.

Bernard: Now go back upstairs from the basement. Pick up the dime
from the out of order payphone. Go into the office and pick up the
Swiss bankbook.  Open the drawer of the desk and take the
booboo-b-gone. Pull the portrait the reveal the safe and leave the
room. Go upstairs.

Bernard: Go into the first room you come across and close the
door. Take the keys from the back of the door. Turn on the TV and
watch the advert. Now leave the room again. Go into the next room
and give the letter to Wayne the depressed inventor. Take the
novelty gun and the disappearing ink from the room and go back to
the corridor.

Bernard: Talk to green and look round his room. Push his speaker
over and turn on the stereo. This dislodges a fake barf downstairs
which will be useful. Pick up the video tape which is on top of
the stereo. Back to the corridor again, and take the stairs to the
next floor. Go through the right hand door and talk to weird Ed
Edison. Pick up the hamster from its cage.  Use Ed's computer if
you want to, and you can play the full version of Maniac Mansion!
Now use the disappearing ink on Ed's stamp book. He will get very
angry and throw it at you. Pick up the dislodged stamp and the
book, and give Ed his book back.

Bernard: Go through into the room opposite and push Edna out of
the room.  This will only work if Hoagie has hassled the artists
in his section so that the statue is right handed. Now use the
video tape in the VCR and look at the screen which shows Dr Fred
opening and shutting the safe. Record him opening the safe and
play it back at slow speed. This will give you the combination to
open the safe in the office. Leave the room and go down to the
office.  Open the safe and take the contract out. Go out of the
room and pick up the fake barf. Go into the party room and use the
flag gun with the cigar lighter which is on the table next to the
salesman. Then talk to him and get him to give you a cigar. The
salesman will try to light the cigar, but since you have swapped
the guns he will not be able to!

Bernard: We now need to catch the chattering teeth. Open the
grating to the left of the fireplace and try to pick up the teeth.
They will run away. Now, chase the teeth into the open grating.
You will now be able to pick up the teeth. Leave the room into

reception, pick up the sign in the window and the flier, and go
out of the main door.

Bernard: Walk to the right until you find the masked man. Give him
the keys and take his crowbar. Go back into the motel and use the
crowbar on the gum with the key in it. Use the gum to free the
dime. Go upstairs to where the sleeping conventioner is and put
both dimes into the FickleFingers coin slot. Pick up the sweater
and leave the room. Put the hamster in the ice machine in the
corridor and go downstairs.

Bernard: Now we need to rescue Dr Fred. Go into the Party room and
up the chimney. Climb in through one of the windows and you will
see Dr Fred all bound up. Pull the rope that he is tied with to
untie him. Go back through the window and use the rope on the
pulley on the roof. Go downstairs and outside. Use the rope on Ted
(the mummy) to tie it on. Go back up the chimney and pull on the
rope. Go back up the chimney and pick up the crank from the flag
pole. Now go through the window again and Ted will be in the room
with Dr Fred. Use the red paint with Ted to disguise him as Dr
Fred and then Use Ted with Dr Fred to make them change places. The
IRS man will look into the room and will think Ted is Dr Fred! Now
use the rope on Dr Fred and go outside and pull on it again. After
this Bernard will take Dr Fred to the basement. Now you need the
funnel from the washroom (go through the swing door off the party
room, through the next door and the funnel is in the cabinet).
Bring that to the basement. Use the funnel on Dr Fred, and then
use the regular coffee on the funnel. Fred will wake up in
spectacular fashion!  Now try to make him sign the contract. He
will refuse, but say the following:

Bernard: "Oh forget it, I'll get rid of Purple Tentacle myself"
Dr Fred: "How?"
Bernard: "I guess I can't. Hey, did you join a record club
lately?"
        ...

Dr Fred will now willingly sign the contract, believing it to be a
cancellation for a record club!

Bernard: Nearing the end of this section, we need to go up to the
first floor and use the crowbar on the candy machine. This will
give you lots of money.  Pick it all up and head down to the
washroom. Put the sweater into the dryer and put the quarters into
it. The machine will start and run for a very long time.

Bernard: Now go to the basement and the Chron-o-John. We need to
transfer some objects to Hoagie so he can complete his part of the
game. These objects are:

      Textbook         Chattering teeth       Flier
      Signed Contract  Stamp                  Help wanted sign
      Cigar            Cigar lighter

Swap back to Hoagie to release Laverne as follows:

Hoagie: Use the stamp on the signed contract. Go to the mailbox
outside the inn and put the letter into it. The Pony Express will
whip the letter off in a jiffy. This gives Dr Fred 2 million
dollars needed to buy a diamond for the time machine!

Hoagie: Go down into the basement now and give the help wanted
sign to Red Edison. He will let you take the lab coat which Ben
Franklin will need for his experiment. Go into the main hall. Put
the flier into the suggestion box to make an amendment to the
American Constitution! Having done that, offer the cigar to George
Washington. He will accept it and, when the cigar explodes, will
lose his teeth. Give him the chattering teeth as a temporary
measure and he will chatter away! This causes the other two to
build a fire believing the president to be cold! Now, pick up the
blanket which John Hancock used to have and go up the stairs. On
passing the horse, read to it from the textbook and steal its
teeth from the glass of water! Continue upstairs and use the
blanket on the chimney. This will fill the main hall with smoke
enabling you to get the gold pen.

Hoagie: Once Hoagie leaves the main hall of his own accord, go
straight back in and talk to George Washington. Use the following
Dialogue:

        Hoagie: "Woah. You're like George Washington"
        Hoagie: "My name is Hoagie"
        Hoagie: "Is it true about you and the cherry tree?"
        Hoagie: "I bet you've lost it..."

This releases Laverne from the tree she is stuck in the future!

Swap now to Laverne as she needs to get a few objects for Hoagie.

Laverne: When you first come across Laverne she is in a prison
with a future Edison family. Talk to the tentacle guard and ask to
go to the bathroom. Go right from the entrance to the motel and
you will find your Chron-o-John. Now lots of object swapping is
needed. Move the following objects to the people shown:

                   Bernard         Laverne

                   Scalpel         Booboo-B-Gone
                                   Fork
                                   Fake Barf
                                   Crank handle
                                   Horse's Teeth
                                   Spaghetti (wet, soggy noodles)
                                   Squeaky mouse toy
                                   Can opener

Laverne: Staying with Laverne just now, go back into the motel and
back into prison. Talk to the tentacle again, saying you don't
feel well. You will get to visit Dr Tentacle. He will leave you
alone in the medical room. Take the tentacle chart from the wall.
Go out of the room and into the main hall. Go through the right
hand of the two doors and into the kitchen. Now go through the
next door and you will find yourself in the washroom. Open the
dryer and take the sweater out of the dryer. It will be somewhat
smaller than it was originally, but this is useful for later!

Laverne: Get yourself put back into jail and ask to go to the
bathroom again.  Go to the Chron-o-John and give Hoagie the
tentacle chart.

Swap to Hoagie again:

Hoagie: Having picked up the tentacle chart, go back to the inn,
go up to the first floor and into the sewing room (it is the
second door on this floor).  Give the chart to the Betsy Ross and
she will tell you to put it on the table.  Now use the tentacle
chart with the patterns on the table. As if by magic, a tentacle
flag will appear in the future.

Swap back to Laverne:

Laverne: From the Chron-o-John, go back to prison again. Say you
don't feel well to the tentacle again to get out. Go into the main
hall and up the chimney. Use the crank handle on the crank box to
get the tentacle flag down.  Now use the tentacle flag to disguise
yourself as a tentacle! Back down the chimney and talk to the
tentacle in the main hall. He will give you a name tag for your
human! Go outside to the Chron-o-John again.


Swap back to Bernard:

Bernard: Go up the party room and use the scalpel on Oozo the
clown. Pick up his laugh box and head back to the basement. Give
the laugh box to Laverne.

Swap back to Laverne:

Laverne: On your way back to the motel, use the Booboo-b-gone on
the bottom of the fence so that the cat rubs along it and gets a
white stripe along its back. It then runs and hides on the roof.
Use the squeaky toy with the cat to pick it up. Back into the
motel, you can now go upstairs. Go into the first room on the
first floor. Open the time capsule with the can opener. Take the
vinegar out of the capsule and leave the room. Go into the next
room along and pick up the roller skates and extension cord. Use
the roller skates on the mummy and push the mummy through the
door. He then rolls down onto the human contestant bench. Follow
him down and use the name tag on him.

Laverne: Walk up to the display area on the second floor. Use the
horse's dentures, the laugh box and the soggy noodles on the
mummy. Then use the fork on the mummy's hair to make it look
'good'! Finally, use the fake barf on Harold (the human with the
green hair). This will remove him from the competition, leaving
the way clear for the mummy to win. Go right and talk to the
judges and ask them to judge each of the three areas of the
competition in turn. The mummy will win all three and win: a
useless trophy and a certificate for two to dine at the Club
Tentacle.

Laverne: Leave the mummy's room on the first floor and go
downstairs to the main hall. Go into the kennel and give the
certificate to the guard tentacle.  He will run out happy! Flick
the switch to release the humans, who will not move an inch! Now
use the cat to vacate the room! The tentacle guard who was
watching over the grandfather clock will run after them, clearing
the way for you. Go outside to the Chron-o-John first and use the
extension cord on the John's plug. Use the extension cord on the
window as well, then go back into the motel and up to the first
floor. Open the ice box and take out the hamster. Go back down to
the main hall and into the kitchen. Use the hamster in the
microwave to thaw him! Now use the sweater on the hamster to warm
him up.

Laverne: Go to the grandfather clock and open it. Go into the
clock, down into the basement. Plug the extension cord into the
outlet on the hamster generator. Use the hamster on the generator
and get punched out! The hamster escapes into the mouse hole. Use
the vacuum cleaner on the mouse hole to get the hamster again.
Open the hatch in the side of the vacuum cleaner and pick up the
dustball which is the hamster. Use the hamster on the generator
again to power the Chron-o-John. Go outside to the generator and
send the vinegar to Hoagie. Laverne's part of the game is now
complete!

Swap back to Hoagie:

Hoagie: Go out to the Chron-o-John and pick up the vinegar. Go
into the inn and down into the basement. Give the oil, gold pen
and vinegar to Red Edison and he will make a super battery and put
it on his shelf. Take the battery from the shelf and go upstairs
to the first floor. Go into the third room (Ben Franklin's room)
and give Ben the lab coat. He will turn it into a kite and lead
you outside to take part in his experiment. Put the battery into
the pocket of the kite and push the kite when Ben tells you to.
This will charge up the battery. Pick up the battery as Ben leaves
and head back to the Chron-o-John. Plug the John into the battery
and you will be ready for the off!

Swap back to Bernard:

Bernard: Go upstairs to the office and use the phone. Bernard will
call and place an order for a diamond. Bernard will pick up the
diamond when it is delivered and take it down to Dr Fred. Dr Fred
will start up the respective Chron-o-Johns and you will move on to
the next part of the game.  Now sit back and watch the fun for a
while!  When the story stops again, you will control all three
characters at the same time and you will be in the honeymoon suite
yesterday!

All three: Go out into the corridor. Walk round the corner and
open door number 2. You will then be shrunk by purple tentacle
again. You can then run into the second room on this floor and
into the mouse hole. This leads into green tentacle's room. Wait
until the shrink ray wears off then pick up the bowling ball. When
you leave this room, purple tentacle will have disappeared.  Go
down to the basement to confront the purple guards. Use the
bowling ball on the tentacles to clear them out of the way. Purple
tentacle will turn up again and shoot you. When the effect wears
off again, talk to Purple tentacle and persuade him to shoot Dr
Fred instead of you using the following:

All three: "Just what is it you have against humans anyway?"
All three: "Sound's like that's Dr Fred's fault, really."
All three: "Why don't you zap Fred with the ray gun for a change?"

And that's it! Now watch the end game sequence.
