The Curse of Monkey Island – Part 7

by Kasey Chang 38 sections about 110 minutes to read

Preserved exactly as it was written, spacing included: this guide contains maps or tables that reflowing the text would destroy. It scrolls sideways rather than wrapping.

4.2   PART 2: THE CURSE GETS WORSE

There are quite a few places to go, so explore a bit. There's the
beach you are on. Going left takes you to the town of Puerto
Pollo. Going right takes you to the swamp.

4.2.1     Beach
     
Feel free to explore the beach a bit. The fort cannot be reached
but you can go left (to Puerto Pollo) and right (into the jungle
and swamp). In fact, move left and access the overall island
map...  And explore the island a bit.

Head into the swamp when you're ready...

4.2.2     Swamp
     
At the swamp, the skull will give you a fright. It's just Murray.
Go ahead and chat, then continue up into the ship...

Look around a bit. Notice items on the floor... Pin on paper
voodoo doll, a gum vending machine, and alligator's tongue. Grab
everything you can (pin, glue, and use the gum machine).

Q: What do I do now?
A: Try pulling on alligator's tongue.

Q: Who's that?
A: You don't recognize her from the previous games? Just talk to
her any way.

You'll go off on various discussions, questions, and lots of back
and forth... But just ask her a lot of stuff... Until you come to
"where did you hide her?"

CUTSCENE: Ack! Someone has stolen Elaine (the statue!)

Ask her about how to rescue Elaine...

Q: What's the advice?
A: Can't ye read, lad? Ship, crew, and map!  (And Elaine, of
course)

Q: Now what?
A: You ain't gonna find no crew in the swamp, lad!

Q: So where do I go again?
A: *Sigh* Where else can you go? Puerto Pollo.

HINT: Before you go, get some of that chewing gum (you'll need to
use some of your wooden nickels), and the pin from the voodoo
doll, and the glue.

4.2.3     Puerto Pollo
     
Puerto Pollo is a wide town... Left side is Lenny, then a passage
into the swamp to Danjer Cove (blocked), then Blondebeard's
Chicken place, then the town hall, then exit to Cabana, then at
the waterfront is the Pirate Barber shop.

Q: What now?
A: Feel free to explore the town a bit. Pay special attention to
the dressing room at the theater...

Q: How do I get into Blondebeard's place? I don't have
reservation!
A: You'll find one later... Just go elsewhere for now. See
[4.2.8]

Q: How do I get into Cabana Club / Beach?

A: You'll find a way later.  See [4.2.14]

4.2.4     Theater
     
Q: Uh, what's so special about the dressing room at the town
hall/theater?
A: 'Magic hat' and 'magic wand' together usually mean
something...

Q: So will something appear?
A: Indeed. Take it. You'll need it later.

Hint: explore this room thoroughly. Head right and talk to Slappy
Cromwell for more clues...

4.2.5     The Passage Puzzle
     
Q: How do I get through that passage next to Blondebeard's place?
A: You'll need something to cut through.

Q: Where can I find this item?
A: Try the Barbery Coast barber shop, look at the ceiling.

4.2.6     Barbery Coast / Scissors
     
Q: How do I get the scissors from the ceiling of the pirate
barber shop?
A: First, you need to get rid of the customer, Rene Rottingham,
in the barber's chair.

Q: Any suggestions?
A: Perhaps you need to introduce some thing no barber would want
to see...

Q: Uh, where can I find it?
A: Try that side door next to townhall...

Q: More specific?
A: Look on the Civil War jacket... It has... "dandruff" on it.

Q: And then?
A: The barber will drop the comb periodically... Try...
sabotaging the comb.

Q: Rottingham's gone. Now what?
A: Guess you need a haircut...

Q: Then what?
A: Care to guess what raises or lowers a barber's chair?

Q: More specific please?

A: *Sigh*  The handles off to chair's side!

Q: Haggis won't let me use the chair! Now what?
A: Distract him.

Q: Uh, how?
A: Grab the paperweight, and he'll have to run off to find
another.  THEN you can rise...

4.2.7     Passage
     
Q: Do the signs along the passage into the forest have
significance?
A: ALL the signs have SOME significance... Remember the
interesting ones.

Q: Is that flower significant?
A: Very much so.

4.2.8     Snake Crossing
     
You walk through and you come to this little knoll, with this
tree. There's a sign... As you try to read the sign...

Cutscene: Oops! You got eaten by this huge snake!

Q: Uh... How do I get out of this snake? I can't reach any of
those instruments!
A: What you need is INSIDE the snake, so pick up EVERYTHING
inside the snake, including Reservation slip, encyclopedia,
Faberge Egg, Syrup, etc.

Q: Now what?
A: Did you remember what those flowers/plants you cut do? Ipecac,
to be exact.

Q: Uh, no?
A: Ipecac is a purgative.

Q: What's a purgative?
A: *Sigh* it makes you "purge" yourself.

Q: Oh, yes, but... how?
A: See anything you can combine that flower with?

Q: Uh, no?
A: Think breakfast... with pancakes.

Q: I got the spiked syrup... Now what?
A: Pour some on the snake (inside the snake, technically).

Cutscene: Nice! The snake spat you out! Right into...

4.2.9     Quicksand!
     
Yep, you're now stuck in quicksand. You can't move. So, how would
get out of there?

Q: So how do I get out?
A: You need to access one of those vines.

Q: Uh, how?
A: You can't reach it, but perhaps something in your inventory
will...

Q: I dunno... Balloons?
A: You're getting warmer...

Q: Balloon... with paperweight?
A: Bingo! Now that balloon just floats!

Q: Now what?
A: BLOW on the balloon...

Q: Uh... how?
A: Click and HOLD on the item, which pops up the interact menu.
For the "floating balloon", one of them is "blow".

Q: So... that doesn't do anything!
A: Patience! Now you need to pop it.

Q: And how would I do that?
A: See some reeds and thorns near you?

Q: Wait... a blow gun?
A: Yep.

Q: What now?
A: Head back into town. Either get into Blondebeard's place, or
try recruiting the three pirates.

4.2.10     Recruiting Haggis
     
Q: So how do I beat Haggis in the caber toss?
A: Try exploring the grassy knoll a little...

Q: I still don't get it...
A: You can't beat Haggis in a pure test of strength, but perhaps
you can... rig the game.

Q: Wait... do you mean...
A: Who says you must use a "regular" tree trunk?

Q: Uh... How do I get this, uh... irregular tree trunk?
A: See any other trees nearby?

Q: So how do I, uh, cut it down?
A: Well, you, uh... Don't. However, there is this barrel of
rum...

Q: So?
A: Well, rum is high-proof alcohol, almost... explosive.

Q: How would I get barrel of rum to the tree?
A: Guess you'll... need to tip the thing over.

Q: How would I... tip it over?
A: Cut one of the legs. (Guess what would you use?)

Q: What would I use?
A: *Sigh* Serrated Knife

Q: Where would I get it?
A: From Blondebeard's Chicken n' Things.

Q: But how do I get in?
A: See [4.2.13]

Q: Okay, now how do I... uh, light it?
A: There are some embers by the beach.

After that, go back and ask Haggis for a contest... And you'll
win!

4.2.11    Recruiting Van Heldan
     
Q: How do I challenge Van Heldan?
A: How do the old-style gents challenge others to duels?

Q: More specific please?
A: Slap him with the glove.

Q: Where do I get the glove?
A: *Sigh* Dressing room.

Q: Where in the dressing room?
A: *SIGH* In the jacket.

Q: So what "weapon" should I pick?
A: "The Unusual".

Q: Uh... what's unusual about the pistols?
A: Not the pistols... The BANJO!

Q: Uh... how do I win the game?
A: Follow those "single notes", write them down if you like, and
repeat them when it's your turn. You'll need to match him a
couple times, and you can't hesitate in MegaMonkey mode. You
snooze, you lose.

Q: He's doing some serious riffing now... What do I do?
A: Do the Indiana Jones solution...

Q: Huh?
A: The part where he just whips out a gun and shoots the other
guy?

Q: So I should shoot Van Heldan?
A: No, the BANJO!

4.2.12    Recruiting Cutthroat Bill
     
Q: How do I recruit Bill?
A: You need to impress him by finding some treasure on this
island.

Q: But I've looked everywhere...
A: Except inside Blondebeard's and Club Cabana.

4.2.13    Blondebeard's Place
     
Q: Okay, where's that reservation slip?
A: In the snake. You did get it, right?

Q: What about the quiet guy?
A: Go ahead and push him

Q: Eeek!
A: Get the knife from his back while you're at it. You'll need
it.

Q: Uh, what should I order?
A: Doesn't matter. Just talk to Blondebeard a bit... When you
can, ask him about his gold tooth

Q: How do I see inside the chicken?
A: You'll need something that will eat through the chicken...

Q: I have no idea
A: Try the secret ingredient in the biscuits.

Q: Huh?
A: *Sigh* take a bite and find out.

Q: Oh, so I use that on the chicken?
A: Exactly, and grab what's inside.

Q: Okay... How do I get the gold tooth out of Blondebeard?
A: See any... hard candy around?

Q: Uh, no?
A: One of the pirates has it.

Q: More specific please?
A: Push any of the three barber pirates... And see what happens.

Q: Okay, Blondebeard got the jawbreaker... The teeth's loose. Now
what?
A: He did say something about wanting something fleshy and
chewy...

Q: I have no idea...
A: Got any steak-flavored gum?

Q: Uh... where?
A: In the swamp... at the voodoo lady...

Q: And I get this with...
A: Your wooden nickels.

Q: Okay, and he's blowing bubbles...
A: So pop the bubble...

Q: With what?
A: *Sigh* You do have a PIN in your inventory, right?

Voila, the teeth is on the ground...

Q: Now what?
A: Take the tooth back to Bill and show him what you got...

Q: But I can't get out the door! Blondebeard got it back!
A: You'll need to get the teeth out without it being ON you...

Q: So how do I get the gold tooth again?
A: Have him blow another bubble.

Q: Hint please on how to get the tooth out?
A: Think... balloon.

Q: Huh?
A: Can you blow a helium balloon?

Q: Just tell me!
A: *Sigh* Chew gum. Combine gold tooth with wad of gum. Use
helium balloon (inhale). Chew wad of gum with gold tooth. You'll
blow a bubble and it'll float out the window.

HINT: While you're at it, grab the pie pan and the cookie cutter.

Q: Okay, I'm out. Where is it?
A: It's... in the mud puddle.

Q: How do I get it out?
A: How did the Forty-Niners (not the football team) do it?

Q: More specific please?

A: With that pan.

4.2.14    Club Cabana
     
Q: The Cabana Boy won't let me in.
A: Guess you'll have to locate a membership card.

Q: Wait, didn't Blondebeard said something?
A: Yep, go back and talk to him, he'll tell you he lost a card
with his... chickens.

Q: Is that the card I see...
A: Yep, in the chicken bones on the table with the... skeleton
fellow.

NOTE: That guy is from Grim Fandago, another LucasArts game.
He'll even drop a button that says so.

Q: How do I see inside the chicken?
A: You'll need something that will eat through the chicken...

Q: I have no idea
A: Try the secret ingredient in the biscuits.

Q: Huh?
A: *Sigh* take a bite and find out.

Q: Oh, so I use that on the chicken?
A: Exactly, and grab what's inside.

Q: So how do I get rid of the cabana boy?
A: This guy needs a whipping...

Q: I don't understand...
A: Locker room pranks... wet towel whip.

Q: Oh, I see...
A: Yep, that bucket of water... and those towels...

Q: Okay... I got there... But I can't cross the hot sand!
A: Well, guess you'll need to, uh... pave a road.

Q: Okay, how DO I get Palido Domingo to turn over so I can see
the map?
A: Well, sunbathers do NOT want to get burned, so guess you'll
have to convince him he's burned...

Q: How would I do that?
A: Well, you can't yet.

HINT: Open the gate, and head to Lenny's Lemonade place.

4.2.15    Lenny's Lemondade
     
Go ahead and buy a lemonade... Bottomless mug policy, heh?

Q: So how do I beat Lenny at this game?
A: You do have another mug, right?

Q: Oh, I see!
A: Yep, swap his mug so he can't cheat you any more.

Lenny runs off when he realized he can't cheat you any more...
Leaving an empty pitcher.

Wait, is that some red dye I see just off to my right?

Q: Is that important?
A: Well, you're trying to convince someone they're "burning" from
the sun when they're not...

Q: What do I carry it with?
A: There's that empty pitcher...

Head back to Brimstone Beach and Palido Domingo.

4.2.16    Brimstone Beach
     
Q: Okay, how do I psych Domingo into turning over?
A: Give him the drink he's asking for.

Q: Uh, how?
A: Give him the mug, then pour the dye into the mug. It'll dye
him red. He'll think himself as burning, and he'll turn over.

Q: But how do I GET the map?
A: Guess you'll need him to shed the skin...

Q: And how do I do that?
A: Some oil would do quite nicely...

Q: And where would I find oil?
A: Back at the hotdog stand, where you met Cabana Boy...

Now that is one yucky map!

You got the crew, you got the map, all you need is the ship...
And you know thieves at Danjer Cove stole Elaine...

4.2.17    Danjer Cove
     
Q: I'm here, but there's a big hole in the boat.
A: Guess you'll need to patch it.

Q: What do I patch it with?
A: You have the glue, so you just need a "plug" of some sort.

Q: But a plug of what?
A: What's usually used to patch tires?

Q: Uh... Rubber?
A: Right!

Q: Where am I going to find a rubber plug?
A: You'll have to... make one.

Q: Huh?
A: You'll have to... cut one.

Q: With what?
A: *Sigh* Cookie cutter.

Q: I still don't understand.
A: *Sigh* Use the cookie cutter on the "other" rubber tree (the
one you didn't blow down).

Q: So how do I patch the ship?
A: Add glue to plug, then add gluey plug to hole.

Q: I'm at the ship, the Sea Cucumber. Should I get on?
A: Not yet. You know "walking the plank" is not pleasant, so
perhaps you should do something first...

Q: Uh... what?
A: Maybe you should... get rid of the plank.

Q: Uh... how?
A: *Sigh* Use the serrated knife on the plank.

Q: Uh, I got tarred and feathered!
A: Good, now you look like "El Pollo Diablo" that the voodoo lady
and Blondebeard talked about.... So... Go back to Blondbeard's.

You go back to Blondebeard... And he, thinking you're El Pollo
Diablo,  knocked you right out...

4.2.18    Sea Cucumber again
     
Q: I'm in the chicken pot and I lost the tar and feathers. Now
what?
A: Observe... That guy is a loon, so perhaps you can convince him
to leave you the ship...

Q: Uh... how?
A: You got the Ventriloquism book, right?  Use it...

Q: Uh, on who?
A: The ape!

And you got the map to Elaine too...

Q: Okay... how do I get back onto the island?
A: Try the porthole in the captain's room.

4.2.19    Finding Elaine
     
Q: Where do I go now?
A: All you need now is Elaine's statue. Which location have you
NOT explored thoroughly?

Go back to the theater... Go through the side door, then onto the
stage. You'll see the monkeys are in the audience.

Q: Now what?
A: Head upstairs... Look at the control panel, then at your map.
Follow the directions carefully.

Q: More specific please?
A: There are EIGHT buttons, one for each direction of the
compass. Press the corresponding one in the map, and when you
finish, X will mark the spot.

Q: So how do I get rid of Slappy Cromwell so I can dig at the X?
A: He's about to do the juggling act... And apparently he'll use
the cannonballs... See a way to... sabotage him? (Check your
inventory)

Q: Uh... lubrication?
A: Exactly! Chicken grease on the cannonballs!

Q: So Slappy and the other flew off stage... Now what?
A: Start digging.

Cutscene: All right, the crew is here, the ship is here, the map
is here, and Elaine is here... So, it's off the Blood Island you
go!

4.3   PART 3: THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND

Cutscene: Rottingham, now bald (thanks to you), wants the map to
Blood Island for himself... As he wants that huge diamond that
you mentioned. And your sword fighting (combined with insult) is
just NOT good enough yet... He got the map...

After that, your crew starts singing pirate song... And whatever
you say to them, they reply with a stanza that rhymes...

4.3.1     Pirate Song
     
Q: How do I get them to shut up?
A: Well, their reply rhymes, right? So... can you find something
that doesn't rhyme?

Q: Hmmm... But I don't see any...
A: Keep picking choices until you can find one that does NOT
rhyme with anything.

Q: All right, what does NOT rhyme?
A: Orange.

4.3.2     After the Pirate Song...
     
Q: Okay, they stopped singing. What do I do now?
A: Ask Haggis.

Q: Okay, so should I go easy or hard?
A: I pick easy... but it's up to you. Hard means you can to
manage the speed and shot type as well.  just use easy.

Q: Then what?
A: View the navigation chart, and pick a ship to go after... Or
go back to port. You need to get the map back from Rottingham,
but you need to build up your ship first before you can beat
Rottingham.

Q: How do I build up my ship?
A: Defeat one of the other pirates running around with sea
battles and sword fights, and you'll get a full hold of booty.
Then go back to port and get better cannons. Some pirates are
more capable than others.

4.3.3     Sea Battles
     
See [2.3.2]

4.3.4     Sword Fight (except Rottingham)
     
See [2.3.3]

Except... These pirates use more insults than the "normal" level,
and have more comebacks.

Fight each one multiple times so you can learn all their insults
and comebacks.

4.3.5     Sword Fight with Rottingham
     
See [2.3.4]

Rottingham requires at least FOUR points to beat on the
MegaMonkey level.

After you beat Rottingham, it's off to Blood Island!

Cutscene: Except you run into this storm... And then...

4.4   PART 4 : THE BARTENDER, THE THIEVES, HIS AUNT AND HER LOVER

You are now on Blood Island... Haggis and crew have mutinied. You
are on your own again. Elaine's statue is out there somewhere...

Feel free to explore the island a bit, and talk to everyone that
you can. There are essentially the following locations: beach,
clearing (Elaine), cemetery, undertaker, hotel (multiple
locations inside), windmill, cove, lighthouse, and village.

The puzzles are essentially as follows: you need to get the
cursed ring OFF Elaine, and you need to locate the OTHER ring on
this island. Of course, there are a LOT of things to do before
you can do that.

4.4.1     Beach
     
Q: How do I get the lotion from Haggis?
A: You'll need to find him something as good as tar to fix the
ship.

HINT: Talk to him a bit for more clues.

Q: What do I need the lotion for?
A: Haggis DID say it's VERY greasy and slippery...

HINT: Grab the bottle off the ground before you leave.

4.4.2     Hotel
     
Locations: lobby, storage room, upstairs (two more rooms)

Q: What do I do in the storage room?
A: You need some cheese. (Trust me)

Q: How do I get some cheese? It's too big/hard!
A: Use a chisel.

Q: Uh, where do I find the chisel?
A: Try the undertaker (beyond the graveyard/crypts).

Q: What do I do with the bartender?
A: Well, he did say he needs something to wake him up...

Q: I have no idea what he means.
A: Read the drink recipe book next to him... See one that cures
hangovers?

Q: Where do I find hair of dog who bit me?

A: You see a dog somewhere in your exploration?

Q: Uh, no?
A: Try the undertaker (beyond the graveyard/crypt).

Q: But he won't bite me.
A: Try feeding him something.

Q: Where do I find the egg?
A: It's on the beach near the lighthouse.

Q: How do I reach it?
A: Well... you don't. You make the egg reach you.

Q: Huh?
A: *Sigh* Put something on the ground and make the egg drop down
to it. (It IS a rubber tree the egg's sitting on, right?)

Q: So what do I use as a cushion?
A: Where did you see one that you can take?

Q: Uh, the bar in the hotel?
A: Exactly! (One of the cushions is loose)

Q: What do I hit the tree with?
A: A mallet, of course.

Q: And where do I find this mallet?
A: You can find mallet and chisel at the undertaker (next to the
blind dog).

Q: Where is the pepper?
A: It's next to the windmill.

Once you got the bartender awake, talk to him for LOTS of
information... Eventually, you'll figure out your next
objectives... You need to get into the Goodsoup Family Crypt...
Also, the diamond itself is on Skull island. He'll also tell you
how to get to Skull Island by finding the Flying Welshman. He
also explains how his hotel is ruined now that nobody comes, as
the volcano doesn't go off any more.

So your tasks are: solve the Volcano problem, get into Goodsoup
Family Crypt, and ocate the Flying Welshman. Together, they will
help you solve the other problems.

4.4.3     Solving the Volcano
     
So why isn't the volcano spewing any more lava? Guess you'll have
to visit that "village"...

Talk to Lemonhead for ALL you need to know... Really. He explains
EVERYTHING.

Q: What do I do in the village?
A: Grab all the items you can.

Q: What do I do with the block of tofu?
A: Well, it is as big as your head... Talk to Lemonhead over
there for some clues.

Q: Uh, what does that mean?
A: *Sigh* Take a look at Lemonhead over there...

Q: Oh, you mean...
A: Yep, you have to WEAR it.

Q: But I can't!
A: Guess you need to add some eyeholes and a mouth...

Q: How do I do that?
A: *Sigh* with a chisel or auger. (Both would work)

Cutscene: Watch the cutscene, where they sacrifice the veggies to
the volcano...

Q: Now what?
A: What did Lemonhead say about the mountain?

Q: Uh... Cheese causes heartburn?
A: Bingo!

Q: How do I do that?
A: Drop some off the side of platform.

Cutscene: All right! The volcano blows again, and lava is flowing
down! In fact, it flows past that channel right outside the
hotel!

Q: What now?
A: See anything around you can... melt?

Q: Uh... more cheese?
A: Bingo!

Q: What do I do with that?
A: Melted cheese has consistency of...

Q: Uh... yellow tar?
A: Bingo!

(Yep, take pot of melted cheese back to Haggis, and you can get
the lotion. Then go take that cursed ring off Elaine. )

4.4.4     Getting into the Crypt
     
Q: Okay, what do I need to get into the crypt?
     
A: The bartender already told you.

Q: You mean... die?
A: Well, sort of. Come very close to it, in fact.

Q: I don't believe you.
A: Go to the fortune teller, and ask her to do your future... And
see for yourself. In fact, do it five times in a row to be REALLY
sure.

HINT: Grab the five death cards when your fortune's told.

Q: So, how do I do it?
A: Remember the old adage that says, "don't mix medicine with
alcohol"?

Q: I still don't understand.
A: *SIGH* Spike your drink with that Head-B-Clear potion you
concocted earlier for the bartender.

Q: And which drink should I pick?
A: Preferably the one with an umbrella. :-)  But it doesn't
really matter yet.

Q: How do I use the Head-B-Clear? I can't open it!
A: Use the chisel to open it.

Cutscene: So you're now in a coffin in the crypt...

4.4.5     The Crypt (Not!)
     
Q: How do I get out?
A: Use the chisel.

NOTE: Get the nails while you're at it, or come back later.

Q: Uh, what's the noise I hear?
A: It's coming from the center coffin.

Q: So?
A: Open it and see.

It's Stan! Stan the... (never mind).

Q: What do I do now?
A: Go back to the hotel and complain...

4.4.6     Hotel Again
     
Q: What do I do now?
A: Complain to the bartender.

Q: All right, how do I become a member of the Goodsoup family?

A: Guess you'll have to memorize a bit of family history...

Q: Where will I find this family history?
A: Try upstairs, in the other room.

Q: It's locked.
A: Ever heard of the trick about using a card to jimmy open the
door?

Q: Uh, what card would that be?
A: Stan just gave you one.

Q: Uh, there's nothing in the room.
A: "Use" the bed.

Q: But I can't grab the book! The bed closes immediately!
A: Guess you'll have to find something to nail the bed down...

Q: Where are the nails?
A: At your original coffin. (You did get it, didn't you?)

Q: But that's not enough!
A: What holds up portraits?

Q: Uh, nails?
A: Yep, see some around you?

Q: Uh, no?
A: *Sigh* Inside that first room.

Q: I see it... How do I get it?
A: *SIGH* Pound it with your mallet. Then go outside and grab it.

Q: What about the portrait?
A: You'll need that too. Grab it.

Q: What do I do with it?
A: Remember the "cutouts" where the face is cut out and it just
leaves a hole?

Q: Oh, so...
A: Use the scissors on the portrait.

Q: What do I do what's left?
A: Well, there is this "hole" on the first door...

Q: So, put it on?
A: Yep... Put the portrait on the door, then go in the other
side, and mess with Griswald's head.

Q: What do I do with the face?
A: There's a mirror next to Griswald's bartender station, right?

Q: Oh, I see...

A: Yep, put that there.

Q:  I've convinced the bartender that I'm a Goodsoup. Now what?
A:  Well, I guess you'll just need to "die" again...

HINT: Before you die, go see Stan (in the graveyard).

You don't need me to repeat the procedure now, do you?

4.4.7     Goodsoup Crypt
     
You're now in the Goodsoup Crypt... Walk left...

Talk to the bride for some clues on what to do.

Q  How do I get out?
A: The only person you can access is Mort, the undertaker (you
can see him through the crack).

Q: So how do I convince him to release me?
A: Well, Murray keeps talking about scaring people...  So perhaps
you can oblige him.

Q: How do I do that?
A: Ever try... shadow puppets?

Q: You mean, put a lamp behind your hand, and make funky shadows
with your hands?
A: Yep...

Q: Uh, where do I get a lantern?
A: Get it from Mort.

Q: Uh... How do I do that?
A: You still have that skeleton arm from Part 1, right?

Q: It won't catch hold.
A: Make the arm stickier.

Q: Uh, how?
A: *Sigh* You have glue, don't you?

Q: I got the lantern. Now what?
A: *Sigh* Put the lantern on the coffin before the crack. Then
use Murray on the lantern.

Q: That did not work! Help!
A: On the LANTERN, NOT THE CRACK IN THE WALL!

Q: Where do I go now?
A: Go to Stan's place, if you haven't been there.

Q: Why do I do there?

A: Why don't you buy one from him, whatever he's selling?

Q: What do I pay him with?
A: Well, there's this "treasure" you found before...

Q: Oh, that one I impressed Bill with?
A: Yep.

Q: Now what?
A: Back to the hotel.

4.4.8     Hotel yet again
     
Q: What do I do here?
A: The storage room has your "death certificate". You can use
that to collect some money from Stan. So go there and collect
from him, for "a lot of money".

Q: Now what?
A: How to send the groom to the bride?

Q: Uh, who's the groom?
A: You see any skeletons lying around?  (Minnie told you...)

Q: Oh, you mean...
A: Yep, that one in the bed.

Q: So how do I... send him on his way?
A: Guess you'll need to open up that hole...

Q: And how do I do that?
A: Got a crowbar?

Q: Uh, no...
A: You didn't grab one while in the Goodsoup crypt? Go back and
get it.

Q: The hole's open. Now what?
A: Well, guess you'll have to release the bed...

Q: How do I do that?
A: *Sigh* use the crowbar again... On the bed.

Cutscene: Minnie and Charles went on their happy way, leaving the
wedding band behind.

So go grab the wedding band. With the cursed ring off, all you
need now is the Diamond...

4.4.9     Flying Welshman
     
Q: How do I find the flying Welshman?
     
A: Remember the story the Bartender told you? (Go back and ask
him again if you don't remember.)

Q: So what do I do?
A: You summon The Flying Welshman by fixing the lighthouse.

Q: Uh, how do I do that?
A: Go examine the lighthouse a bit.

Q: It is missing a lantern, and the mirror's broken.
A: Guess you'll need to make a lantern, and find a replacement
mirror.

Q: But the one in the crypt is out of oil...
A: Guess you'll have to find another way.

Q: Which way is that?
A: Well, remember as kids, you trap fireflies in a jar?

Q: Where do I find a jar?
A: Try the hotel.

Q: The tip jar?
A: Is there any other?

Q: Where are the fireflies?
A: Next to Elaine's statue.

Q: But they won't go in!
A: Guess you'll need to find something they like... Sugar water?

Q: Where's that?
A: At the windmill (upper story).

Q: The door's locked.
A: Do the Don Quixote thing.

Q: Huh?
A: *Sigh* Use the umbrella on the windmill... And you'll "fly" up
there.

Q: The fireflies die before I can do anything!
A: Did you leave them some air to breathe?

Q: Huh?
A: *Sigh* Did you poke any holes in the lid so they can breath?

Put the jar with sugar water on that tree stump next to the
statue, and the fireflies will move in. Put the cap on, and take
it back to the lighthouse...

Q: The Lighthouse glows now, but I still don't see the Flying
Welshman.
A: Did you do the mirror?

Q:  Flying Welshman won't take me to Skull Island!
A: Guess you'll need to make him a compass.

Q: How do I do that?
A: Try reading that encyclopedia you got from the snake's inside.

Q: So where do I find a needle, a cork, magnet, and a cup?
A: You already have the needle (the voodoo one). Cork... You
should already have that as well, from opening an existing bottle
of shaving soap. Magnet... It's in the hotel stroage room on the
refrigerator. The cup... Is that measuring cup in the village
feast.  You just need some water.

You don't need me to explain how to combine the whole thing, do
you?

Q: How do I open that existing bottle?
A: Check the interaction menu... "bite" is the answer.

4.4.10     Skull Island
     
Q: What do I do with LaFoot?
A: Well, guess he'll try to lower you down to the cave
entrance...

Q: Ugh! Oooh! Arrgh! Ouch! The pain!
A: Well, guess you need to make a softer landing...

Q: Huh?
A: Do the Mary Poppins thing.

Q: You mean... Umbrella?
A: Yep... Pull out the Umbrella while you fall... Quickly!

If you fall, just go up there and try again.

Just talk to King Andre... It doesn't really matter much what you
say, as long as you don't quit, though if you did not bring the
insurance money, you'll need to use something else as your
stakes.

Just watch the cutscene as LaFoot manage to give you the chance
to escape with the Diamond, and you get your "revenge".

And another cutscene, as LeChuck figures out where you are...

4.4.11    Back to Blood Island.
     
Okay, you got the diamond, the band, so go see Elaine... Assemble
the ring, and put it on her finger...

Cutscene: Voila! She's back to normal! And she punched you...
Then LeChuck's undead goons showed up...

4.5   PART 5: KISS OF THE SPIDER MONKEY

Guybrush is held prisoner in this cable car rigged with
explosives... Feel free to chat with LeChuck about anything and
everything, though it doesn't really matter very much. It is
funny listening to all that though.

Any way, when you say you've heard enough, LeChuck hits you with
some evil magic....

Q: What do I do now?
A: Open the door of the cable car.

4.5.1     In the Carnival
     
Q: Now what?
A: You need to get on the rollercoaster.

Q: But how? Dinghy Dog (tm) won't let me!
A: Guess you'll have to grow back to original size first.

Q: And how do I do that?
A: Well, you still have this hang-over recipe... Can you get sort-
of-close to it?

Q: So what do I use in place of an egg?
A: Is there something that is at least made of egg?

Q: I have no idea...
A: Talk to the rat guy...

Q: But how do I get it?
A: Since you can't get the pie, guess you'll have to be the
target.

Q: And how do I do THAT?
A: You'll need to get rid of the existing target, of course.

Q: And how do I do THAT?
A: You can probably put something INSIDE the pie that gets
fired...

Q: And let me guess... An anchor?
A: Well, that's about the only thing you COULD get that's heavy
enough...  (Try asking for other items...)

Q: So how do I get the anchor?
A: You'll have to win that little game with Dinghy Dog (tm)...

Q: Which game is that?

A: *Sigh* guess the weight.

Q: But that Rat guy won't let me put it in!
A: Well, maybe you can, uh... make a fake pie.

Q: I have a pie pan, so...
A: You got something that'll make white foam?

Q: Wait, you don't mean...
A: "Makes a soothing lather" and all that...

Q: I still don't get it...
A: *Sigh* That "Shaving Soap" you got from the wreck on the
beach...

Q: I got the pie, now what?
A: Put the anchor in the pie.

Q: He won't let me!
A: You'll have to MAKE him a pie then...

Q: Huh?
A: What is pie made of?

Q: Meringue. So what?
A: Wrong. Pie is made of white fluffy stuff.

Q: I don't see where you're going with this...
A: Is there something in your inventory that also makes white
fluffy stuff?

Q: Wait... shaving soap/cream?
A: Bingo!

So make a fake pie, with the anchor in it, and make sure Rat dude
try it...

Q: The target's out of the picture. Now what?
A: Open the gate and use the opening. You'll get meringue.

Q: How about hair of dog who bit me?
A: See any dog around?

Q: You mean... Dinghy Dog (tm)?
A: Yep.

Q: How do I do that?
A: Talk more to Rat Man and see what he suggests...

Q: More specific please?
A: *Sigh* Push Dinghy Dog (tm) many times.

Q: How many?
A: In this mode? Six or seven.

Q: Where's the pepper?
A: There's a pepper mill at the snowcone booth.

Q: So what do I put all the stuff on?
A: Since you can't have a real drink, guess a snowcone it'll have
to be.

Enjoy the snowcone... And POP! You're back to normal size!

4.6   PART 6: GUYBRUSH KICKS BUTT AGAIN

You're riding the coaster, and you've arrived at exhibit 1, with
hangman and rope. The coaster moves in a circle, as you get four
exhibits. Exhibit 2 is drinking and carousing (with real kegs of
rum). Exhibit 3 is torture scene with lamp. Exhibit 4 is giant
snow monkey exhibit. Then you get back to exhibit 1 again.

If you stay at one exhibit too long (more than one or two carts
went by), LeChuck will come by and hurry you along.

Q: What do I do?
A: Guess you'll need to, uh... arrange for another explosion.

Q: So what explodes?
A: Well, there's barrel of rum (Exhibit 2)

Q: How do I detonate it?
A: Guess you'll need a "rope". (Exhibit 1)

Q: But a rope doesn't burn!
A: It would if you soak it in oil.

Q: How do I soak rope in oil?
A: Find some oil... lamp oil to be exact. (Exhibit 3).

Q: Too hot! Ouch!
A: Well, guess you'll need to extinguish the flame first.

Q: How do I extinguish the flame?
A: How would you do it to a candle?

Q: Where do I put everything?
A: Exhibit 4.

Q: LeChuck's here. Now what?
A: Make him sneeze.

Q: You mean...
A: Yep, pepper.

Congratulations, you've beaten LeChuck yet again, and now can
really enjoy the time with Elaine!

5    Mega Monkey Walkthrough
   
This is every step you need to take to solve the game. You
probably do NOT have to perform everything in order given here,
but I can't guarantee it would work in any other order either.

5.1   PROLOGUE

Cutscene: Guybrush is in the ocean and floating along... and ran
into LeChuck attacking the fort... And he's taken onboard
LeChuck's ship...

5.2   PART 1: THE DEMISE OF LECHUCK

5.2.1     Gun Room
     
You are in the gun room. A small pirate is there with a big
cannon. He'll draw a pistol and point it at you if you approach.
There is no way to get out of the room (yet).

Talk to the small pirate. He'll tell you he's "Bloodnose", but
you'll recognize him as Wally (from the previous game in the
series). Get more information out of him.

When you've exhausted the information, insult him on how lousy of
a pirate he is. In fact, tell him "Snap out of it Wally!" and
follow it with "You're a failure of a pirate."  He will break
down and cry. He'll drop that plastic toy hook

Go ahead and try the cannon, and hit all four boats full of
LeChuck's undead while you're at it.

Pick up the plastic hook, and the rampart (rod) on the wall.
Combine the hook with the rampart. Then move to look outside the
porthole (to left). Use the rampart/hook and pick up the skeleton
arm (with cutlass), and talk a bit with Murray, the talking skull
or knock him over.

Examine the cannon carefully, there's the restraining rope
holding it back. Use the cutlass you picked up and cut the
restraining rope. Now use the cannon... BAM!

Cutscene: LeChuck is enjoying the evilness of his Voodoo cannon
ball... And you manage to sank the ship right underneath him...
And you.

5.2.2     Treasure Room
     
You are now in LeChuck's treasure room... Except it's now upside
down. Treasure is dumped everywhere. There's a hole in the
"ceiling", and there's a porthole to your right. There are lots
of misc. items on the floor.

Get the brown bag next to the portrait. Get the diamond ring
that's revealed. Use the diamond ring with the porthole (cut a
hole in it).

Cutscene: You float out of the ship and made it to shore... And
you put the ring on Elaine's finger as engagement gift... Then
Wally comes along and told you that the ring you got is probably
LeChuck's cursed ring. Before Elaine can punch you, she turns
into a statue of gold!
