Here’s where the title
comes in

  • After the alarming cut-scene
    you wash up on the shores of Monkey Island! Now you need
    to get off them
  • Go to the canyon and pick up
    th banan picker that is impaled in the cactus on the
    right
  • Go back to the beach you
    washed up on and use the banana picker a few times to
    pick the bananas
  • Give a banana to Timmy the
    Monkey and walk back to the canyon. He’ll follow you.
  • Give Timmy another banana and
    he’ll follow you inside the mine
  • Whilst inside, go to the far
    end and open the vent at the bottom
  • Put a banana in there and
    Timmy gets in, so shut the vent
  • Use a banana with the portal
    near the top and the door opens
  • Go inside the room and use
    the banana picker to get the weed whipper jammed in the
    gears
  • Leave and go to the church of
    Lechuck
  • Look above the door and you
    can see a skull head with two shields as eyes
  • Use the banana picker to
    retrieve these shields
  • Now have a talk with the
    ghost priest and ask him to ride the log flume
  • Whilst riding the log flume,
    get the banana picker ready and snatch the milk bottle by
    floating past it
  • Now go back to the map and
    hike up the vista point
  • Pick up a rock and throw it
    at the right canal. Pick up another rock, and as soon as
    you see a branch shake throw it in the middle canal. Pick
    up another, wait for another branch to shake and throw
    that in the left canal. Pick up one more, and when you
    see another branch shake throw this one in the left canal
    too. A rock should land in the lava near the church
  • Now go back to the church and
    ride the ride again, this time float around and turn left
    at the fork

Monkey Kombat!!

  • After you’ve parked your boat
    in the small pool, use the weed whipper with the weeds
  • Now, go to the village and
    talk to the talking monkey (Jojo) to learn about Monkey
    Kombat

I suggest
you download this
Word document and print it off to help you with
Monkey Kombat.

  • You have to
    do Monkey Kombat by yourself, but for help in writing
    down moves there’s a document above

  • Keep beating
    Monkeys until Guybrush says he is ready to face Jojo,
    then go beat him

  • After
    succesfully wiping the floor with Jojo, you recieve his
    bronze hat

  • In the
    village, give the shields to the Monkey playing the
    accordion

  • He drops the
    accordian for you to pick up

  • Now, go back
    to the place where you parked your boat and push the tree
    over

  • Go to the
    camp to meet an old friend, yup, Herman Toothrot

  • Pick up the
    coconut and throw it at Herman until he remembers what
    his name is and what island he’s on

  • Now throw the
    milk bottle at him

  • Now throw the
    accordion at him to get the gubernatorial stamp thing (I
    won’t say why he has it)

  • Go to the
    giant Monkey head (You need to cross the lava by walking
    over the tree)

  • Throw the
    bronze hat on the monkey head and stick the banana picker
    up its nose to open the mouth

  • Inside, Use
    the gubernatorial stamp in the slot (have a look around)

  • Watch the cut-scene

Who expected
this?

  • You arrive on an island in
    the giant Monkey
  • Pick up the large plank and
    use it with the smallest tower
  • Climb the tower and jump onto
    the plank
  • Now you’re at the top, pull
    the lever and watch the cut-scene

The Ultimate in Monkey
Kombat!!

  • You are facing the giant
    stone pirate Lechuck in your giant Monkey in a game of
    Monkey Kombat
  • Simply change to the same
    stance as Lechuck three times and you’ve won!!
  • Sit back, and enjoy the
    ending whilst trying to figure out how Herman Toothrot
    was warped to Monkey Island yet in the first game we
    learn he sailed there with a shipmate..bla bla bla….
