Chapter Seven has a lot of moments that require exact timing, so be ready to stop time by entering the Ghost World at a moment's notice. When everything is lined up just perfectly, you'll not only be able to save Lynne but get some new clues as well!

How To Reach The Giant Chicken Leg

Upon arriving at the Chicken Kitchen, you'll need to reach the dead driver to find out what happened. Leave the restaurant staff alone for now and roll the tire to the left. When you enter the Ghost World, you'll find Lynne crushed under the giant chicken leg sculpture. Use her corpse to rewind time and see what brought about her fourth demise of the evening.

Ask Lynne every available question, then watch the destruction of the restaurant unfold. Afterward, have Lynne read the sign on the table, then ring the bell three times to call the waitress over. When she arrives, hitch a ride in the pitcher she's carrying to reach the other side of the restaurant. When the waitress puts you down, quickly jump to her cart to continue following her upstairs.

At the bar, hide in the large trunk between the two patrons and listen to their conversation once the waitress leaves. When gameplay resumes, the bartender will have placed a glass on the bar, giving you a path upward. Ring the bell on the bar to call the waitress again; while she's talking to the bartender, use the tap to fill and knock over a glass. The waitress will notice the trunk and go to tell the customers that they left it behind.

Wait for the bartender to replace the broken glass, then use it to enter the trunk and get carried to the corner table. It takes a few seconds for Beauty to continue talking, but once she does, listen in. Shortly after the conversation starts, the van will hit the building. Get to the lamp above the able, then wait for the giant chicken leg to swing to the left. When it does, swing the lamp to reach it and jump over. In the final half-second before it falls, you'll be able to leap from the chicken bone to the van's driver, replaying the last four minutes from his perspective to try and stop him from hitting the restaurant entirely!

How To Prevent The Crash

Wait for the detective to throw his binoculars into the van. When he does, turn on the siren to get his attention. Before he opens the door, quickly lower then raise the driver's seat with the handle underneath to move the binoculars to the front. He'll pick them up before going to the pay phone - be sure that you're along for the ride!

Listen to the phone conversation, then use the phone line to return to the Chicken Kitchen. Possess the T-shirt drying on the line above Memry's head, then use it to shimmy to the right. You'll be able to use it as a bridge to reach the other side of the kitchen, and you don't need to move it back to return to the starting position!

Wait forMemry to activate the switch behind her, turning on the fans above and clearing the smoke from the room. While she's still planting the bug, wait for the chef to place another chicken on the counter, then look for the chef's hat to fall over, revealing the wine bottle underneath. While it's down, quickly turn off the fans then zip across the room, using the hat to reach the pedal on the floor.

When the chef pours wine on the dish he's preparing, the room will get smoky and Memry will use the switch to turn the fans back on. While her back is turned, operate the pedal to switch the chickens on the counter, causing her to take the un-bugged one to Beauty.

Upon returning to the present, return to the phone (you may have to wait for the chef's hat to drop again) and go to the main area of the restaurant. Go to the table to your left and ring the bell three times to call Memry. When she passes, use the pitcher to reach Lynne's table and talk to her. A lengthy conversation - and the end of the chapter - will follow.
