INTRODUCTION
Revision 11/30/00- The sequence of events on Jambalaya Island were incorrect. You could not successfully complete the quest for the Golden Man because you first must obtain the Dunce Cap from the Pirate Transmogrificatiion Academy. The steps in Act II have been corrected.
Thanks to Jan Philipp Giel for bringing this to our attention.
A Word About Control - EMI has no in-game mouse control. Guybrush is controlled with the keyboard, a joystick, or a gamepad. If you choose to use the keyboard for control make sure you have the joystick/gamepad disabled. You can do this by pressing the F1 key during game play then choosing »O« to display the Options menu. If the joystick/gamepad is not disabled Guybrush can act strangely and be hard to control with the arrow keys. Our hero can exhibit such strange behavior like walking in circles or repeatedly entering and exiting buildings without any input from you. Finally, you may have to do as I did on my system, physically unplug the joystick/gamepad from the computer since disabling them from the options menu did not completely turn them off. Once the joystick/gamepad was physically disabled, control of Guybrush was normal and without incident.
Directions - In this walkthrough, North, South, East and West means the top, bottom, right and left edges of the screen.
Participating In Insult Sports - To win an insult contest you must give an insult that your opponent cannot answer correctly. Stump your opponent enough times and you win. Guybrush always gives the first insult. The opponent then responds with an answer. If the answer is correct, the opponent immediately flings an insult back to Guybrush who must answer correctly. If Guybrush answers correctly then the sequence starts over with Guybrush being able to offer another insult. However, each insult must be one not previously used by either contestant.
If one of the contestants gives a loser answer he loses the chance to offer a new insult. This is how you can tell you're winning. You can give another insult without having to answer one in return. Trip up your opponent enough times and Guybrush wins the contest.

ACT I
THINGS TO DO ON MELEE ISLAND WHEN YOU'RE DEAD
PIRATE ATTACK
1. Pirates attack Guybrush and Elaine as they return from their honeymoon. Guybrush finds himself lashed to the mainmast.
2. Turn Guybrush and use the »U« key to kick over the brazier of hot coals then »P« to pick one up. Kick the hot coal to the loaded cannon on the right side of the screen.
3. As Elaine leaves to go to the courthouse, she gives Guybrush instructions to stop the catapult and then get to her lawyers on Lucre Island.
MELEE ISLAND
STOP THE CATAPULT
1. Talk to the pirate operating the catapult. Notice that the funny-looking cactus to the right of the mansion resembles a slingshot without the sling.
2. Go South through the arch and walk to Melee Town.
3. Continue East to another screen and enter the SCUMM Bar.
4. Walk to the back of the bar. In the right rear corner is a drunk with a birthday balloon and a bowl of jerky pretzels on his table. Guybrush needs the pretzels but the drunk prevents him from taking them. Look at the balloon so you can mention it to the dart players later.
5. Go back to the front of the bar and talk to the dart players. Ask them about the holes in the wall around the dartboard so they will offer to show you their skill. Bet them that they can't hit the balloon. When they do, go to the drunk's table and pick up the bowl of jerky pretzels and put them in inventory. Be careful not to eat the pretzels instead of putting them away.
6. Leave the SCUMM bar, go east and Walk To Melee Island to bring up the map. Go SW to the Harbor. Talk to the Lady of Leisure, the Harbor Mistress, and discover you don't have authority to get a ship. Pick up the popped inner tube from the ground by the grog machine.
7. Go back to the Governor's Mansion and use the popped inner tube on the cactus that looks like a slingshot to really make it a slingshot.
8. Give the jerky pretzels to the pirate operating the catapult. When the pirate leaves to eat the pretzels, tinker with the catapult controls.
9. After the catapult is destroyed watch the cut scene with Elaine and Charles L. Charles, the candidate who will be running for governor against Elaine. Follow Elaine into the mansion.
GETTING A CREW
1. Go to the table by Elaine, pick up the government job contract form and give it to her. After she signs it talk to her and mention that Guybrush is having a little trouble getting a ship without authority to requisition one. She will give Guybrush the Gubernatorial Symbol.
2. Go to the east side of the room and get the government paper from the china cabinet. If you walk away from the cabinet and look at the contract before putting it in inventory, you'll discover it's a Melee Government Employment Contract - Cushy Edition. Give it to Elaine to have it signed.
3. Return to Melee Town and talk to the two familiar looking pirates near the bookstore again. After you get Guybrush to recognize them as Carla, the Swordmaster of Melee Island, and Otis, keep after them to join the crew. Offer them cushy government jobs and when Carla says they want contracts, give them the signed cushy government contract. They agree to join the crew.
4. Go to the SCUMM Bar and talk to the Crusty Sailor, Ignatius Cheese, at the table next to the drunk's. Ignatius is the owner of the SCUMM bar as well as the navigator Guybrush needs for his crew. Soak up all the local color you can stand then get him to join the crew by challenging and beating him at a game of insult arm wrestling. For a shortcut through the dialogue pick sentences 1,3,1,1,2,1,1. To win the arm wrestling, see the section titled »Participating in Insult Sports« at the beginning of the walkthrough.
5. After winning the insult arm wrestling, return to the Harbor and use the Gubernatorial Symbol on the Harbor Mistress. She gives you a ship, The Dainty Lady. The crew arrives and Guybrush is off to Lucre Island »in search of high adventure and a legally binding restraining order.«
LUCRE ISLAND
LAW OFFICE
1. Go NE and climb the stairs. If you try to enter the Bait Shoppe Guybrush suggests you go to the Law Office first. So, go west between the Town Square and the Hall of Justice, turn west again and you will be in front of the Law Office of W.T.D.
2. The lawyers give Guybrush a copy of Grandpa Marley's will. There is a safe deposit chest in the Lucre Bank that contains the deed to the Governor's Mansion and the »most terrifying secret of the Caribbean, the ultimate insult.« Talk to the lawyers again and they tell Guybrush to get the deed. If you go through all the dialogue you can hear some cute lawyer jokes.
THE ROBBERY AND DISCOVERING THE ROBBER'S IDENTITY
1. Leave the office and go next door to the bank. Before you go inside, notice the window on the top floor is open. Inside the bank you see Ozzie, the Bad Guy, having trouble cashing an Australian traveler's check. When he snaps his cane and leaves, talk to the Bank Teller, Brittany. Go through the dialogue and tell her you want to get the deposit chest.
2. While Guybrush is in the vault a masked man posing as Guybrush robs the bank. He comes into the vault, confronts Guybrush, and takes off the mask. Notice he has either a little or no nose. He then takes the chest and locks Guybrush in the vault.
3. Once Guybrush is alone in the vault:
Pick up the old sword and the medium sea sponge from the table.
Pick up the large sea sponge from the floor behind the table.
Look in the cubicle in the wall where the safe-deposit chest was stored. Take the music box and the bottle of fine grog.
Pick up the handkerchief from the floor in front of the door.
Pick up the small sea sponge that is under the handkerchief.
4. Now:
Use the old sword on the bottom hinge of the door.
Use the broken sword with the crack.
Use all three sea sponges on the crack.
Use the bottle of fine grog with the sponge-filled crack.
5. In the confusion that follows the opening of the vault door, Guybrush is arrested for the robbery and taken to jail. He now has the »Voodoo Anklet of Extreme Discomfort« on his ankle, so he can't leave Lucre Island, and must clear himself of the false charges.
6. Go to the Iron Maiden and pick up the tin of chicken grease. Talk to the pirate in the cell. It's Otis. He's been arrested for picking flowers somewhere.
7. Talk to Inspector Canard. Guybrush discovers that the real bandit is probably Pegnose Pete and to clear himself he must: catch the real perpetrator, recover the loot, and come up with evidence to back his story up.
8. Return to the bank. The manager is standing outside. Talk to him. Guybrush finds that the bank is closed because it's the scene of a crime and the manager won't allow anyone inside. Take the hint about the open window to heart. That will be the way in, but how?
9. Go to the side of the bank and look at the manhole. Use the broken sword on the manhole. Look at the manhole cover. Write down what is scratched inside: »Mindy loves Fred - Larry loves Mindy.« These names may be different for different games and you'll need to know them later.
10. Since the robber has no nose, perhaps he's gotten a false one from the Palace of Prostheses. Go west to the Palace of Prostheses and talk to the guy with two eyepatches. You find out he's named Deadeye Dave and has a keen sense of smell and can identify customers by their scent. Use the handkerchief the robber left in the vault on Deadeye and discover Deadeye's nose is stuffed up. The smell will have to be amplified somehow.
11. Now use the handkerchief with Guybrush and you discover:
It is monogrammed with the initials »PP«
It smells of hickory smoked fish
It smells of flowers growing in a cesspool
It smells of fish snot
It smells like a corpse floating in a bog
It smells like a lumberjack wiped his arm pits with it
It has the faintest wiff of something nice
These are the scents Guybrush must reproduce for Dave to identify the name Pegnose has been using at the shop.
12. Asking about the no-nose pirate draws a blank but you also discover that even if Dave had a name he couldn't get the records from the filing system because Pongo, the trained monkey that operates the filing system, has run off.
13. Tell Dave you're looking for some gifts - free ones. When Deadeye tells you the story use the names you found on the manhole cover as answers. Answer correctly and Deadeye will give you Prosthetic Skin.
14. Play the music box for Deadeye Dave. Before it stops playing go to the window and steal the wooden prosthetic hand from the first basket on the left. You must be quick. If the music stops before you get the hand, Deadeye will hear you and prevent you from stealing the hand.
15. Return to the manhole outside the bank. Use the Prosthetic Skin with the manhole then use the skin stretched over the manhole. Guybrush will bounce through the open window into the bank.
16. Go down the ladder and use the pull-chain. When the lights go on, face west and notice the strange nose-shaped shadow cast upon the wall at the end of the balcony.
17. Go to the desk in the lower left corner and pick up the ScupperWare.
18. Climb the ladder, walk around the balcony and look at the strange shadow. Guybrush finds a prosthetic nose. Inspector Canard arrives and takes the nose as evidence.
19. Exit through the window. Go east from the bank to the scene with the town square then east from there to the House of Sticks.
20. Ozzie enters the House of Sticks right after Guybrush and picks up a new stick to replace the one he broke in the bank. Pick up the wood shavings left behind from Ozzie's stick. Talk to Freddie and find out: Pegnose is the greatest pirate thief on Lucre Island, probably lives in the marsh, and is afraid of ducks. Supposedly a duck pecked his nose off.
DUPLICATING THE SCENT
1. Leave the House of Sticks and go west to the perfume stand. Pick up the cologne from the counter. Talk to the annoying perfume pusher, Hugo. You learn, among other things, that Hugo saw Pegnose run by heading towards the deepest forests of Lucre Island. Pick up an empty spritzer bottle from the pile near the edge of the building. Use the empty spritzer bottle with the wood shavings to make homemade perfume (Cedar Cologne).
2. Leave the perfume stand and go east to the Bait Shoppe. Pick up the duck that's walking around in front of the Bait Shoppe. Go inside and talk to the Salty Old Cur and hear his version of how Pegnose lost his nose (school of fish bit it off), and that Pegnose probably lives in the marsh and no one can navigate the marsh.
3. Go to the free bait cabinet and use the homemade perfume on the free bait. Pick up the free bait. Go into inventory and combine the free bait with the ScupperWare.
4. Use the wooden prosthetic hand with the termite circus that's to the right of the free bait cabinet.
5. Go west to the Law Office and leave town through the gateway under the arch that's between the Law Office and Lucre Bank.
6. Go north to the Mystes O' Tyme marsh. Notice the raft and the puddle. Use the homemade perfume with the puddle then leave the swamp.
7. Go west to the foreboding mansion, Ozzie's place. Pick the flower by the fountain and combine the flower with the homemade perfume.
8. Enter the creepy mansion and begin a conversation with Ozzie. End the conversation soon as you can and spray the stuffed platypus at Ozzie's feet with the cologne (not the homemade perfume). Ozzie gets angry - »You've befouled my platypus!« - breaks his cane and stomps off to order a new one.
9. Return to town to the House of Sticks and use the termite-infested prosthetic hand on Ozzie's new cane. It's in the rack to the right of the entrance. Ozzie then comes in, picks up his new cane and leaves, dribbling a trail of sawdust behind him. You'll need this trail later to follow Ozzie.
FINDING AND CATCHING PEGNOSE
1. Go back to Deadeye Dave in the Palace of Prostheses. Spray him with the homemade perfume. Make a note of the name he tells you. Ours was »Yahootie P. Everywhere.« Yours will probably be different. Guybrush must now operate the filing system and retrieve this card to get the directions through the marsh.
2. Twiddle with the file retrieval system controls and look at the three dials. Don't touch anything yet. Each dial has five faces with a picture on each face. Each face stands for a group of letters.
Face 1 (bunny) = A-D
Face 2 (palm tree) = E-H
Face 3 (pumpkin) = I-M
Face 4 (monkey) = N-S
Face 5 (bananas) = T-Z
3. You must spin the dials so the three faces on top show the letter groups in which the three initials of the name Guybrush was given are contained. Then you must press the red button right of the dials to retrieve the file.
4. In our case the initials are »YPE«. All dials start out with face 1 on top. The first dial is spun so face 5 (bananas) is on top. The second dial is spun to face 4 (monkey) and the third dial to face 2 (palm tree). The red button is pressed and Guybrush gets a document containing the directions to Pegnose Pete's house. Remember, the name you were given will probably be different, therefore you'll have to spin the dials based on the three initials of your name - not the initials used here as an example.
5. The directions written on the card will be two columns of numbers, one a time, the other a direction, in the form of »12:10 E« or »12:15 W«. There will be eight entries. Write the directions down. They are randomly generated each time the game is played. Yours will be different than mine. The directions will be needed to get through the marsh later. The file will be in Guybrush's inventory, of course, and can be looked at anytime, but they're easier to use written down since you won't be switching in and out of inventory each time a direction is needed.
6. Go to the center of town and talk to Brittany. She's standing in front of the fountain. There's no point in it but it's slightly funny. Leave Brittany and go East to the Bait Shoppe then South to the docks. Once on the docks go to the far west end and you'll find two pirates playing chess.
7. To get through the marsh Guybrush needs the timer the chess players are using. They won't let you take the clock so Guybrush must distract them both. Talk to the portly pirate chess player. Start the conversation with any sentence, then use number 5 then number 4. The number 4 sentence will always distract the pirate from the game. If he's distracted enough, the pirate will let go of his chess piece and his partner will force him to use it as a move. You may have to use sentence 4 to distract the pirate several times before he actually lets go of the piece.
8. Once the portly pirate has been distracted talk to his partner, the skinny pirate. Open the conversation with any sentence then distract him with sentence 4 (something about Brittany). Distract the skinny pirate until he drops his piece and the portly pirate forces him to use that as a move. Both pirates begin throwing chess pieces and calling each other names. When you get control of Guybrush, take the clock.
9. Go back through town and exit through the archway between the bank and the law office. Go to the marsh, use the raft, then use the clock. Now it can get confusing so you should probably save the game here.
10. The clock face appears on the lower right of your screen. Look at the time the clock face displays. Look at the directions you found on the file you got from Deadeye Dave. Find the time listed in the directions that corresponds to the time on the clock face and move the raft off the screen in the direction printed next to the time.
11. Each time you enter a new screen, check the time and move off screen in the direction corresponding to the new time. Continue in this way until you get to a gate where there's a Guybrush double, a future Guybrush.
12. Move to the gate and Guybrush will give you a key. Ask him who he is. Write down the answer he gives (different each time). He then gives you two items. These are also different each time. Note what they are so you can find them in inventory later.
13. Choose »Open gate« then talk to him. Write down the number he gives you then unlock the gate with the skeleton key that you should now have in inventory. Before you move through the gate Guybrush will give you a third item. The three items are usually the same; a rope, a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle, and a gun. However, the order in which they're given is different each time.
14. Go through the gate and continue following instructions until you come to the gate again. Give Guybrush the key, answer his question with the answer he gave you earlier (the question was »Who are you?«). Now give him the first two objects he gave you in the order they were given. You can find them in inventory already in the correct order. He then asks you for a number. Answer with the number he gave you earlier. If all is done correctly a little scene runs and you're left alone in the mist standing on the raft. Continue following the directions given by the clock until you get to the house of Pegnose.
15. Walk up the pier to the house and trigger the scene of Guybrush eavesdropping on a conversation between Pegnose and Ozzie.
16. Use the chicken grease on the doormat then use the duck on the window. Voila! Pegnose is captured.
FINDING THE LOOT FROM THE BANK
1. Meanwhile, back at the jail, Guybrush isn't entirely cleared even though he has captured Pegnose. It's off to confront Ozzie. Go west from the jail and exit town. Take the trail to Ozzie's mansion and go inside.
2. Accuse him of hiring Pegnose to frame Guybrush for the robbery. When Ozzie asks what Pegnose's Booty Showcase looks like say it has »Lots of booty.«
3. When Ozzie leaves follow him into the forest. You can keep up by following the sawdust trail the termites in his cane leave behind.
4. Go East then North around behind the little hill from which Ozzie came and climb down the hidden passage into the booty showroom.
5. Look around the showroom. Use the red button on the edge of the dining table to draw back the curtain from the unbreakable window. Behind the window are the bank booty and the Marley heirlooms.
6. Go back up the ladder and dive into the deep water north of the hill.
7. Get the ScupperWare ready and open it when the bioluminescent fish swim by. Once a fish is trapped inside the ScupperWare, Guybrush has a handy lantern.
8. Go west through the secret entrance and find the heirlooms and treasure on a little island. Pick up the heirlooms and treasure as well as the itty-bitty brass screw that falls from the chest.
9. Leave the cave and walk up the east side of the next screen to get to shore. Go around the hill to the West and return to Melee Town and the Hall of Justice.
10. Show the brass screw to Inspector Canard. Guybrush is cleared, he collects his crew and heads back to Melee Island.
ACT II
ENTER THE MANATEE
MELEE ISLAND AGAIN
THE BLUE PAINTING
1. Talk to Elaine after the animation runs. Elaine decides that she should take care of LeChuck, Guybrush should take care of Ozzie Mandrill and the Ultimate Insult. Guybrush should start by talking to the voodoo Lady.
2. Leave the mansion, go to Melee Town and into the International House of Mojo.
3. Go to the hand-shaped table and pull the finger next to the thumb (it's just identified as »finger« in the dialog). The mirror on the east side of the room will spin around and the Voodoo Lady will appear.
4. Ask the Voodoo Lady everything you can about the Ultimate Insult then about the Marley heirlooms. Lastly, ask what Guybrush is supposed to do with the wedding presents.
5. Go east through town and exit to Meelee Island. Notice the SCUMM Bar has been renamed the LUA Bar. Take the trail north to Meathook's House of Wax.
6. Disturb Meathook at is work then deny the rumors of Guybrush's death. Ask about the candles then exit the conversation. Take a paintbrush from the bucket Meathook showed you then leave.
7. Take the trail to the harbor. Check out the coin return slot of the grog machine. Take the quarter and use it in the machine. Now kick, punch, shake and yell at the machine. Take a can of grog from the pile that falls out.
8. Return to Melee Town and enter the LUA Bar. Go to the rear of the bar to where the little ships are floating in channels. Talk to the patron then return to the lower level and sit at an empty stool.
9. Talk to the waitress then order something to eat; something cooked. You'll get the flaming scuttlefish. Get the paintbrush out of inventory and get ready. When the flaming boat comes down the channel, jam the paintbrush in the sushi boat propulsion mechanism. You should time it so the flaming boat stops just under the picture on the wall after the boat has turned the corner and is on its way back to the kitchen. When the cook comes out to investigate, run into the kitchen and use the can of grog on the sushi boat steam generator. If you've stopped the boat in the correct position you'll see an animation and be presented with the ruined »blue picture«--a map of the tri-island area. If you were unsuccessful the cook catches you in the kitchen and throws you out. Try again. The cook leaves the paintbrush on the bar near the stool and you have enough grog for one more try. If you fail the second time, you'll have to return to the harbor for another can of grog.
10. Look at the picture in inventory by using the »L« key. On the back of the painting is a depiction of the the parts that make up the Ultimate Insult. It's made up of:
a silver monkey head
a bronze hat
a golden man
11. After you get the picture go back to the docks and walk to the Dainty Lady. Look at the figurehead. Pierced ears? Is that enough clue for you? Use the earrings, necklace, pen, and painting on the figurehead in that order.
12. After the animation involving the figurehead, Elaine comes and reclaims the Gubernatorial Symbol. The crew is now off to Jambalaya Island.
JAMBALAYA ISLAND
PIRATE TRANSMOGRIFICATION ACADEMY
1.Use the community rowboat and go east to Knuttin Atoll. End the conversation with Admiral Casaba quickly as you can and leave. Land at the pirate shantytown on the southern coast of the atoll.
2. Go north to the big blue and white Pirate Transmogrification Academy. Talk to the teacher and get Guybrush enrolled.
3. When the final exam arrives give the most piratey answers available to the three questions so Guybrush will fail the course.
4. Once back on the doorstep, and in possession of the dunce cap, use the fire alarm on the right side of the building. When Miss Rivers leaves, run inside and get the whistle from the toy chest before she returns. It may be difficult to get Guybrush to see the whistle. You may have to pick up a Pirate Trading Card first. I didn't, but you might. If you fail to find the card before Miss Rivers returns, you can always use the fire alarm again.
5. Go to the center of the atoll and visit the puppet theater. There you can talk to Hellbeard, the last pirate to be victim of the Ultimate Insult. Keep going through the dialog until you can talk to the little Guybrush puppet, then to the puppeteer.
6. End the conversation with the puppeteer (Hellbeard) and quickly use the blue painting on him before he ducks back down behind the curtain. After he runs away, pick up both the puppets.
7. Return to the rowboat and go back to Jambalaya Island.
STARBUCANEER'S
1. Walk left from the ship, go up the stairs and into town.
2. Go to Starbucaneer's. It's the big building in the bottom center. Go to the window and look at the empty groggoccino cup. Go inside, turn to Guybrush's left and get the empty cup from the plants in the planter.
3. Stand near the tourist lady in the center of the room and look into her bag. Take the StarBuccaneer's logo mug.
4. Visit the counter and use the empty groggoccino cup (from the window) on the clerk to get a free refill.
5. At the west end of the counter is a tray of mini-bagels with Schmear Whiz on them. Take one. They're free.
6. Eat the bagel (horrible!) and put the remains in inventory. Leave the shop.
STAN'S TIME SHARE
1. Head north for the stairs and leave town. Follow the trail SE to the Stan's Time Share.
2. Get a pamphlet from the stack of pamphlets on the desk.
3. Take the jar of glue from under the window that's left of the door to the house.
4. Stand in front of the desk and prepare to talk to Stan. Drink the cup of groggoccino then talk to Stan. Ask about real estate until you're offered the choices of »Gimme the pitch!« or »I'm not interested.« Choose the pitch. When it's done you get a Planet Threepwood coupon. Without the groggoccino, Guybrush falls asleep during the pitch and doesn't get the coupon.
SILVER MONKEY HEAD
1. Go back to town and run a few errands. Get the empty groggoccino cut refilled at Starbucaneers.
2. Go to the center of town to the statue of Tiny LaFeet. Compliment the tourist there on his ensemble then ask him what he's doing. Find out all you can about Tiny LaFeet. Notice the hat's been taken from the statue.
3. Go to the micro-groggery and talk to the bartender. Ask for a drink and he gives you a mug of Grog Jr.--just enough alcohol to »stun a skinny parrot.« You can also talk to Carla and ride the mechaical manatee, neither of which is required.
4. Go inside Planet Threepwood and read the specials from the board near the door. Enter the restaurant section, go to the rear and talk to the waitress. Order some food and when she asks how you'll pay, choose the Mega Monkey Meal Ticket.
5. While you're sitting with your free Monkey Mug, talk to the Jolly Pirate and get a free Pirate Caricature. Answer anything you like to the questions he asks Guybrush during the drawing. The object is only to get the caricature.
6. Combine the caricature with the glue then the glued caricature with the StarBuccaneer's Logo Mug to make a fake Monkey Mug. Use the fake Monkey Mug with the Monkey Mug and you have the Silver Monkey Head.
THE GOLDEN MAN
1. Leave town to the map of the island and go SW to the tall rock.
2. Talk to the diver, Marco DePollo, until you can ask about joining the competition then have Guybrush say he would like to dive against Marco. When Marco tells Guybrush to go to the judges and get certified end the conversation.
3. Face the table and use the juicy wad of chewed up bagel chunks and Schmear Whiz with the baby seal oil. Go north from Marco and turn west. Follow the boardwalk to the judges.
4. There are three judges: the hippie judge, the grouchy judge and the wise old judge. Have Guybrush tell them he wants to compete. He gets a physical and is certified.
5. When Guybrush is certified, send him back to tell Marco. Marco dives then you gain control of Guybrush at the end of the plank. Just run him off the end.
6. Guybrush gets low scores and Marco wins. Talk to the grouchy judge and ask him why he is giving you such low scores. After he says he's paid to make sure Marco wins, examine the pamphlet you got from Stan's timeshares. My, my! Use the pamphlet on the grouchy judge. Next time he'll judge more fairly.
7. Ask the hippie judge what was wrong with the last dive. He tells you there are four types of dives:
Keelhaul - done by pressing the up arrow key
Rum Barrel - done by pressing the down arrow key
Spinning Swordsman - done by pressing the right arrow key
Alpha Monkey - done by pressing the left arrow key
Guybrush must watch what Marco does and match his dive combination. Go back and tell Marco you want to compete again.
8. Watch what combination Marco does and match it. For instance if he does an Alpha Monkey, Spinning Swordsman, Alpha Monkey combination you must duplicate it. Have Guybrush put on the dunce cap you got from the academy to satisfy the middle judge. Move Guybrush along the plank until he starts moving by himself then quickly enter the arrow key combination that will duplicate Marco's combination. In our example here it would be: left arrow, right arrow, left arrow. If you use the arrow keys on the numeric pad, make sure numlock is off. If Guybrush is successful, he will tie Marco.
9. The tiebreaker dive is easy. Guybrush goes first and Marco has to match Guybrush's moves. Just make up a combination. Guybrush will win. After all, he did sabotage Marco's seal oil.
THE BRONZE HAT
1. Return to the dock and use the community rowboat and go east to Knuttin Atoll. Land at the pirate shantytown on the southern coast of the atoll.
2. Walk east along the beach. Talk to the pirate with two parrots. -Ask about the parrots and find out one always lies, one always tells the truth. -Tell him he's awfully large and ask if he's any relation to Tiny LaFeet.
Ask more about his father, especially about the »friendly« part.
Ask what happened to Tiny's statue.
3. Now Guybrush knows Tiny's hat was buried under a boulder on the beach, but under which one? Walk east into the boulder field.
4. Guybrush can use the parrots to help him. Use the whistle you got from the academy and the parrots come and land on the boulder in front of Guybrush. Use the groggoccino on one parrot and the wimpy grog on the other. Notice each parrot is now sort of dancing, one fast, one slow. This is how you will be able to tell them apart.
5 Ask each parrot the same question, what's two plus two? The one that answers correctly is the truth telling parrot. From now on only talk to the truthful parrot.
6. Ask him if he's sitting on the rock under which the hat is buried. If he says, »no«, then ask, »Which way should I go to find Tiny's hat?« Follow the directions to the next screen. Blow the whistle to call the birds then question the truthful bird again. Continue in this fashion until you've found the hat. Make sure you're always talking to the truthful parrot. They will switch positions to confuse you.
7. Well, here the game slows to an absolute crawl. It took seven tries to find the correct boulder. When the correct boulder is found, use the two puppets. Use any of the sentences available. The purpose is to get »three« pirates together so Admiral Casaba will shoot at them with his cannon thereby shattering the boulder enabling Guybrush to get the hat.
8. In the following animation, more of the plot is revealed and Guybrush is relieved of the pieces of the Ultimate Insult.
ACT III
ESCAPE FROM MONKEY ISLAND
MONKEY ISLAND
THE MILK BOTTLE
1. After the animation walk south along the beach to bring up the map of Monkey Island. Guybrush will be on the lower left portion of the map. He's kind of hard to see.
2. Go north on the map just a little ways and you'll find a lean-to and a pirate, Herman Toothrot.
3. Pick up the coconut by the lean-to then talk to Herman. Go through the dialog then throw the coconut at him. This restores part of his memory. Ask again what's the first thing he remembers. If you get a story about the amusement park and dormant volcano, you can end the conversation and go back the way you came.
4. Hike north and east to the canyon. You'll find a cactus on the right edge of the screen. Get the banana picker that's leaning against it. Ignore the mine entrance for now. Guybrush will go there towards the end of the game.
5. Return to the map and head NW to the lava fields. When you arrive you see the mischievous Timmy throw the milk bottle you're after out onto an island in the lava stream. Notice the castle above the lava flow.
6. Exit this screen back to the map. Just east of the lava field is a trail going up a ramp that leads to the castle. If you put Guybrush properly upon the path he'll climb and you'll get a screen showing the castle, called a cathedral on this screen.
7. Enter the cathedral. Turn around and face the door until you see »Look at shields.« Use the banana picker to get the two tiny shields that serve as eyes for the skull.
8. Go south over the bridge and talk to Father Allegro Rasputin. Go through the dialog and keep asking about the lava until you can ask to try the lava plunge. Permission will be refused at first, but keep after it and Guybrush will succeed.
9. Soon as you can, get the banana picker out of inventory and steer the boat with the arrow keys. Your goal is to go past the island near the top of the screen and snag the milk bottle with the picker as you go by. You navigate the channels and knock the logs against each other until you can enter the channel that goes past the island with the milk bottle. When you do it correctly you'll get a close-up view that allows you to use the banana picker easily.
10. Exit the lava puzzle by going under the bridge at the left side of the screen. Go back to Herman and hit him with the milk bottle and ask him what's the earliest thing he remembers now. It turns out to be an accordion.
THE ACCORDION
1. Go to Vista Point. It's the hill on the west side of the island. On the top you get a view that looks sort of looks like one of those ant farms in a glass case. There are three canals. Go to the pile of rocks and pick one up. Throw the rock at the canal on the right side of the cliff and watch what it happens. Notice that somewhere along its path it passes a root that wiggles. After what seems like a long time with nothing happening, you see the boulder shoot out of a hole and land near the mine. Drop rocks down the other two channels to see what happens.
2. OK, here's the drill: -Throw a rock down the right-hand channel, when it reaches the root -Throw a rock down the middle channel, when it reaches the root -Throw a rock down the left channel, when it reaches a root -Throw another rock down the left channel.
3. At the bottom of the screen are three exits for the rocks. By using the passage of the rocks past the roots, you can gauge when to throw the succeeding rocks. The rolling of the rocks must be timed so that two of them collide at the intersection of the three exits. Two rocks must go down the center exit and one rock each down the left and right exits. If done correctly you see a scene of a rock landing in the lava field. Don't give up, it's tedious work but it can be done.
4. Go back to the cathedral and ask to do the lava ride again. This time steer the boat into the little lava pool by the bridge and get out.
5. Climb up to the left and use the palm tree. Guybrush will kick it over and make a bridge across the lava flow. Go back to the lava pool then go east over the bridge.
6. Head east then north to Monkey Town. A monkey guards the intersection leading to the town. You must wait until he's out of the way, heading east, then run through the intersection and up the path toward town. If the monkey catches you, you get stuck in a clearing with only one way to go, back to the island map. Then you'll have to try again.
7. Once in the village talk to JoJo Jr., the monkey sitting on the barrel. Go through the entire dialog tree and learn about the Hat of Honor and Monkey Kombat. Don't challenge the talking monkey to combat yet. That will be done later.
8. Go a little west to the hut. The monkey sitting in the doorway on the middle level has the accordion. Get the shields from inventory and pick »use shields.« The monkey will come down and exchange the accordion for the shields (cymbals).
SECOND GUBERNATORIAL SYMBOL
1. Return to Herman by going over the bridge at the lava pit then over the palm tree. Hit him with the accordion. You hear the story of how Ozzie found the Caribbean and discover that Herman is actually Grandpa Marley.
2. Keep talking to Grandpa Marley until he gives Guybrush the second Gubernatorial Symbol.
MONKEY KOMBAT
1. Now we're ready for Monkey Kombat. This part of the game can be very frustrating and at first look seems almost impossible. However, stay with it and you will persevere. Monkey Kombat includes the following basics:
The Five Stances:
Anxious Ape (AA)
Bobbing Baboon (BB)
Charging Chimp (CC)
Drunken Monkey (DM)
Gimpy Gibbon (GG)
Each stance will defeat two other stances. F'rinstance, AA may defeat DM and GG. I say may, because what beats what is determined each time a game is started from scratch. The rules do NOT change between individual combats.
2. The Four Monkey Insults:
Ack (A)
Eek (E)
Oop (O)
Chee (C)
3. To change your present stance, or move from one pose to another, to attain a stance superior to the opponent's, and thereby win, you utter three insults. Choosing Ack, Eek, Oop might change your stance from Drunken Monkey to Charging Chimp. However, it's a little more complicated than that.
4. What combination of insults produces what stance is also randomly generated at the start of the game. Plus, you have to take into account what stance you are moving from. If you are presently in the Drunken Monkey stance and you want to change to Anxious Ape, you might use ACE. However, if you're in the Gimpy Gibbon stance and use ACE, you might change to the Bobbing Baboon stance. The insult combinations also work in reverse. If ACE changes you from Drunken Monkey to Anxious Ape, it will also change you from Anxious Ape to Drunken Monkey.
How Combat Works
1. Each opponent has a health bar made up of banana symbols. Lower your opponent's health to zero and you win. The present stance is also listed near each opponent.
2. In the lower right hand corner of the screen, under Guybrush, is a compass-like symbol representing the arrow keys on the keyboard. The four directions are labeled Ack, Oop, Eek, Chee, the four monkey insults. An insult is said by pressing the arrow key corresponding to the insult. For example, pressing the up arrow will force Guybrush to say, »Ack.« Press the left arrow key and he will say, »Chee.« Pressing three keys in succession will string together three insults and Guybrush will change his stance to match the insult string. You will then see the results of the stance change, win or loose.
3. Turns are alternating, usually with the monkey going first. During the monkey's turn the insult compass will be turned off. It will be on when it's Guybrush's turn. So, a match may go like this: The stance the monkey is using is listed above his head. He says three insults which change his stance to counter that of Guybrush. The monkey's stance changes and you see what stance he changed to plus whether or not it defeats Guybrush's stance. The insult compass is activated for Guybrush's turn. Notice the stances of the opponents. If the monkey is assuming the Drunken Monkey stance and Guybrush is holding the Gimpy Gibbon stance, you must utter the three curses that moves Guybrush from the Gimpy Gibbon stance to one that will defeat the Drunken Monkey stance. Tap out the three insults with the arrow keys and you will see the results.
4. Once in awhile a foul will be declared. Other than being for an invalid combination of curses, I've never been able to figure out the exact reasons. A few times I've used curses that worked previously only to have them declared foul. It's not game stopping, but it does sometimes tip the balance to your opponent. You'll just have to work through it.
Practice Combat
1. Before you're ready to challenge JoJo for his hat, you should practice with other monkeys. You can find these monkeys on the map of Monkey Island near the intersection of the east-west trail with the trail that leads to Monkey Town. Walk up to the monkeys on the map and the scene will change to a clearing. Talk to the monkey and Kombat is automatically started.
2. You should make two charts. The first should show what other two stances a single stance beats, like DM defeats AA and GG, CC beats BB and DM. Do this for all five stances and you'll have a listing of what each stance will beat.
3. The second chart should be of the insults and what stance they change to and from. For instance you might list: CC to DM = AOC, which means that to move from the Charging Chimp stance to the Drunken Monkey stance, use the insults Ack, Oop, Chee. So, if during Kombat Guybrush is in the Charging Chimp stance and his opponent is in the Drunken Monkey stance, you would look in the first chart to find out what stances defeat Drunken Monkey. Then you would look in the chart of curses to see what curses are used to move from the Charging Chimp stance to whatever stance defeats the Drunken Monkey.
4. That's really it. Challenge the monkeys and write down the results of various moves. It's a good idea to enable the option that displays text as well as voice. Some of the monkey sounds are difficult to understand. As things progress fairly rapidly, liberal use of the space bar (pause key) can be helpful. When you think you have enough moves mapped to defeat JoJo go challenge him.
5. To get back to JoJo you must avoid the monkeys at the intersection. If they come near Guybrush the game will want to do Monkey Kombat instead of allowing passage into Monkey Town.
GIANT MONKEY ROBOT
1. After you defeat JoJo and get the hat, leave Monkey Town. Return to the map then go all the way back to the beach. Use the banana picker on the bananas until there are no more, about three times. Give one to Timmy so he will follow you.
2. Hike to the canyon and enter the mine. Make sure Timmy goes into the mine with Guybrush. You might have to bribe him with another banana. Go all the way to the end of the tracks to the big metal door.
3. Use the vent to open it. Use a banana with the vent. Guybrush throws a banana in the vent and Timmy goes after it. Close the vent then use a banana with the portal and Timmy will open the door.
4. Once in side the big tube, you can see a weed whipper. Use the banana picket to get it.
5. Leave the mine and go to the pool of lava in the lava field. Cross over the palm tree bridge and go down to the pool. Use the weed whipper on the patch of weeds. Lava is released into the mine. It flows into the big tube and powers up the machinery.
6. Cross the stone bridge over the half-empty lava pit and follow the trail east to the big monkey head.
7. Use the bronze hat with the monkey head. Guybrush will throw the hat on top of the monkey head.
8. Use the banana picker with the monkey nose to open the mouth. Go through the mouth and into the control room. It seems the monkey head is a gigantic robot.
9. Go to the left center of the central console and Guybrush should see a »prominent slot.« Use the Gubernatorial Symbol with the slot, the giant monkey robot is activated, Guybrush is joined by a couple companions, and they're off.
ACT III+
GUYBRUSH KICKS UNUSUALLY LARGE BUTT
MELEE ISLAND
1. Pick up the really big plank on the ground to the right of the smallest tower.
2. Use the really big plank with the shortest tower. Climb the tower then jump on really big plank.
3. When you get to the top of the tallest tower use the excessively large switch.
4. In the final contest between the giant LeChuck and the giant Monkey Robot, use the Monkey Kombat techniques you learned. You can't defeat LeChuck by winning, you must tie him three times in succession.
5. Happy gaming!
