PrinceWatercress plays The Grinch (PS1) - Part 9 of 22


It didn't take long at all to get a ton of missions done in the junkyard. Next stop: Who Lake.


Some of the pipes have little rods that you can swing on. If the rod isn't moving into the pipe, switch directions and then swing. This is how you link the pipes and conduct the gas down to Who-Bris' shack. Some of the pairs of pipes look like a bent big tubes of toothpaste sticking out of the ground with a shinny T-shaped next to it, and you'll have to shoot at the skinny ones with the Nitro Eggs to spin them into place. These pairs of pipes are also part of the gas conducting mission. Some of the pipes will also be in the shafts with the buttons that temporarily turn off the force fields.

In order to get that blueprint in the area with the rats, you'll have to shoot down the vent cover with a Nitro Egg. You can also push the big pipe section into the rest of the piping as part of the gas conducting mission. As for the platforms in that area that were being held up by cranes, you can shoot them down with the Rotten Egg Launcher to place them over the gaps, then lead the rats over to the pipe where you just found that blueprint piece with Max. When you bring all ten mice over to that pipe, you'll infest the Mayor's house and complete that mission.

By shooting what look like laser cannons at the steel double doors with the Slime Launcher, you can deactivate the nearby electrical trap and get the giftboxes. Also, you can destroy the giftboxes near the electrical gates with Nitro Eggs.

Apparently, by linking enough of the pipes, you'll get rid of the steam blocking your way to the blueprint piece. Beyond the blueprint piece is the last food and the last robot. The vent with the green arrow pointing downward towards it is where you need to place the parts of all ten destroyed robots in order to feed the computer.

You'll also find a pipe puzzle. Go up to the valve wheel and turn it off to keep the steam away from the lower-left lever. From there, pull the lower-left lever down. Pull the lower-right lever up, then pull the upper-right lever. Pull the lower-left lever back up, then pull the upper-right lever again. All that's left is to bring the pipe that was brought up back down, so pull the lower-left lever. Turn the valve switch so the steam is on, and the mission is done. 

When you complete enough missions, you'll unlock Who Lake, the fourth and final level of the game.
