Save the Krusty Krab Day 9: Tattletale Strangler and Grease Fires
Day 9 stacks a new villain, a kitchen grease fire and the heaviest energy drain so far. Here's how to get through it.

Quick answer
Stop the Tattletale Strangler by getting a police officer to arrest him or by using an Orb of Confusion. Put out the grease fire with a fire extinguisher as soon as it starts, and save an energy restore for this day.
The Tattletale Strangler
He applies a Slowed debuff, which makes every job take longer. You have two counters:
- Police: get an officer to arrest him.
- Orb of Confusion: buy one in the Night Shop before Day 9, or play Patrick, who starts with one.
The grease fire
Day 9 also brings a kitchen grease fire. A fire extinguisher handles it; Pearl starts with one. Fires cost stars, so deal with it before going back to orders.
Energy on Day 9
Energy drains fastest here. Go in with energy near full, keep a Kelp Shake or Night Shop energy item (about +15) ready, and don’t sprint when you don’t need to. In co-op, Gary’s Magic Conch can revive anyone who passes out.
Checklist before you start Day 9
- An Orb of Confusion, or Patrick in the crew
- A fire extinguisher, or Pearl in the crew
- At least one energy restore
- Trash emptied, so the Hash-Slinging Slasher has less reason to show up
Make it through and Day 10 brings milkshakes and a full dining room. See the Day 1–10 walkthrough.
