THE THREE TRIALS

 

Head towards the Scumm Bar. Talk to the Important-Looking Pirates about wanting to become a pirate. Attempt to enter the kitchen door (right) - you'll be refused entry by the cook. Stand by the fireplace. When the cook leaves the kitchen and the screen, enter. Pick up hunk of meat and pot. Go outside (right) where you'll see a gull. Stepping on the loose plank will disturb the gull. Stepping on the plank three or four times will keep the gull at bay long enough so that you can pick up the fish.

 

Go to the clearing (on map screen) where you'll find a circus tent - go inside. Interrupt the two men and volunteer to be shot out of their cannon, using the pot as a helmet. You'll receive 478 pieces of eight.

Go to the store and buy the shovel and the sword. Talk to the storekeeper about the Sword Master. He'll leave and head towards her house in the fork. Follow on behind him every step of the way. Once you've successfully located the Sword Master, go towards the lights. You'll be stopped by a Troll. Give him the fish - it was a red herring!

 

Now go to the house (right on map screen) and knock on the door. Being persistent and argumentative (and rich) will earn a lesson in sword fighting. Afterwards, on the map screen, cross the path of any wandering pirate - you'll instigate a sword fight. Soon you'll begin to pick up some insults, along with the appropriate replies. Asking questions to which you don't know the reply will speed up the learning process. The correct insults/replies are listed below.

 

You fight like a dairy farmer. - How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

You make me want to puke. - You make me think somebody already did.

My handkerchief will wipe up your blood! - So you got that gob as a janitor after all.

This is the END for you, you gutter-crawling cur! - And I've got a little TIP for you. Get the POINT?

Have you stopped wearing diapers yet? - Why, did you want to borrow one?

You're no match for my brains you poor fool. - I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.

People fall at my feet when they see me coming. - Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish-kebab. - First you better stop waving it like a feather-duster.

I've spoken with apes more polite than you. - I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.

Nobody's ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will. - You run THAT fast?

I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle! - I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.

You have the manners of a beggar. - I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.

I'm not going to take your insolence sitting down. - Your haemorrhoids flaring up again, eh?

There are no words for how disgusting you are. - Yes there are. You just never learned them.

I've heard you were a contemptible sneak. - Too bad no-one's ever heard of YOU at all.

I once owned a dog that was smarter than you. - He must have taught you everything you know.

 

When pirates start to say "You're good enough to fight the Sword Master", make you're move.

My tongue is sharper than any sword. - First you better stop waving it like a feather-duster.

My name is feared in every dirty corner of this island! - So you got that gob as a janitor after all.

If your brother's like you, better to marry a pig. - You make me think somebody already did.

I've got a long, sharp lesson for you to learn today. - And I've got a little TIP for you. Get the POINT?

My wisest enemies run away at the first sight of me! - Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

I hope you have a boat ready for a quick escape. - Why, did you want to borrow one?

Every word you say to me is stupid. - I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.

I usually see people like you passed-out on tavern floors. - Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

Only once have I met such a coward! - He must have taught you everything you know.

I've got the courage and skill of a master swordsman! - I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.

Now I know what filth and stupidity really are. - I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.

There are no clever moves that can help you now. - Yes there are. You just never learned them.

You are a pain in the backside, sir! - Your haemorrhoids flaring up again, eh?

My last fight ended with my hands covered in blood. - I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.

My sword is famous all over the Caribbean! - Too bad no-one's ever heard of YOU at all.

No-one will ever catch me fighting as badly as you do. - You run THAT fast?

I will milk every drop of blood from your body! - How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

 

 

The defeated Sword Master will give you a shirt (proof of victory). Now, go to the Citizen of Mêlée Island and buy a map from him. Go to the fork. Use the maps dance steps as directions and you'll eventually reach an 'X'. Use the shovel on the 'X' - you'll discover another shirt (proof of discovery).

 

Pick up some yellow petals from the fork. Go to the mansion. Use yellow petals with hunk of meat. Give the poisoned meat to the barking poodles - they are now sleeping. Enter the mansion. Open the door (left) and go inside -- automatic sequence -- pick up gopher repellent. Go to the prison and talk to the prisoner. Go to the store and buy some breath mints. Go back to the prison and ask the prisoner about a file. Trade gopher repellent with his carrot cake. Open carrot cake to find a file. Go to mansion, and through gaping hole -- automatic sequence -- Take idol and rise from the water. Go to Important-Looking Pirates to show them you're idol and two shirts. The Three Trials have now been completed.

 

THE GOVERNOR'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!

 

Go to the Scumm Bar and collect all the mugs. Go to kitchen and fill one mug with grog (from keg). Head towards the prison. On your way, the grog will gradually corrode the mug. Before it's destroyed, transfer the grog into another mug. Repeat this process until you reach the prison cells. If you fail to complete this task successfully, go back to the Scumm Bar and try again. Use mug of grog on prisoners cell lock - the prisoner is freed and agrees to join your crew.

 

Go to Sword Master and ask her to join your crew for Monkey Island - she will. Go to Voodoo Lady (near the street clock) and pick up the rubber chicken on the table. Go towards Hook Isle (map screen). Use the rubber chicken on the cable. Enter the inn and talk to Meathook. Ask him to join your crew. Prove your bravery by volunteering to touch the 'beast'. Meathook will now join your crew.

 

Go to Stan's shipyard and pick out the cheapest ship. Ask about credit. Go to store and ask about credit notes. As the shopkeeper unlocks his safe, note down the combination he uses (pull/push). After being turned down for a credit note, ask the shopkeeper to go over and see the Sword Master again. Use the correct combination on the safe and take the credit note. Go to shipyard. Pick out the cheapest ship again and ask about extras. Refuse all extras. Offer 5000 pieces of eight. Walk away in protest. He'll call you back again. Offer 5000 pieces of eight again - the deal is done. Go to the dock, where you'll meet Stan, Otis, Carla, Meathook and your 'new' ship.

 

THE JOURNEY

 

In your cabin, pick up feather pen and ink. Open drawer and take logbook. On deck, go up the ladder and take the flag. Go down hatch. Go down the other hatch. Pick up rope, wine (in chest) and gunpowder (in barrel, left). Go to the kitchen. Open cupboard and take a box of cereal. Open the cereal box to find a key (your prize). In your cabin, use the 'cereal key' with the cupboard (right). Open the chest inside and take the cinnamon sticks and the recipe list. Look at the recipe.

 

Go to the pot in the kitchen. Put the following ingredients into the pot: cinnamon stick; breath mints; flag; feather pen; ink; wine; chicken with pulley; cereal; gunpowder (last of all). A large explosion follows. On deck you'll see Monkey Island in front of you. Use rope with cannon (fuse). Go down hatches and pick up more gunpowder. Use gunpowder with cannon nozzle. Go to the kitchen and pick up the pot. Burn logbook (kitchen). Use 'flaming mass' with fuse. Use pot. You're shot out onto beach.

 

UNDER MONKEY ISLAND

 

Pick up banana. Go into jungle (map screen). Go top top-left of map, prompting a new screen. Go to the fort. Pick up spyglass and rope. Push the cannon. Talk to Herman Toothrot. Take cannon ball and gunpowder. Back on the map screen, go right, prompting another map screen. Go to the river fork. Pick up rock (flint) and note. Use gunpowder with dam. Next to it, use the flint with the cannon ball - the dam explodes.

 

Go to pond (end of river). Pick up rope around corpse. Go to original map screen. Go to the crack. Use rope on branch and climb down. Use other rope on stump and climb down. Pick up oars. Go to beach and use oars with boat. Row up to the right, past the first beach you come to, stopping at the second. Go to jungle (prompting map screen). Go to village. Take bananas from fruit bowl. To escape the Cannibals, pick up the skull, lift the floorboard and exit through the hole.

 

Go back to fork (by destroyed dam). Make your way up the footholds. Adjust large catapult so that it's aligned with Guybrush. Go up footholds. Push a rock over the cliff - the banana tree is hit. If not, try adjusting the angle of the large catapult. Go to beach and collect fallen bananas. On map screen, notice the grey monkey, go towards it. Give bananas to monkey - he'll now follow you everywhere. Walk towards the top-right of the screen (with monkey nearby), prompting another new screen with a beach and a clearing. Go to clearing. Walk right until you reach a fence. Pull on the totem pole (nose). The monkey will imitate your pulling action, allowing you to pass through the gate. Pick up the tiny little idol.

 

Go to the Cannibals village. Go to the hut, and then walk back towards the right of the screen. Plead with the Cannibals and give them the tiny little idol in exchange for your life. Go into the hut and take the banana-picker. On leaving, give the banana-picker to Herman Toothrot. You'll receive the key to the Monkey Head (clearing). Use the key (cotton bud) in the Monkey Head ear. Go inside - you won't be able to find your way around.

 

Go to the Cannibals and ask them about LeChuck and about anti-root. They tell you that you're going to need the Navigator's Head in order to find LeChuck. Give them the pamphlet/leaflet/brochure entitled 'How To Get Ahead In Navigating'. They'll give you the Navigator's Head. Inside the Monkey Head, use the Navigator's Head, who'll direct you to LeChuck's ghost ship. Outside the ghost ship, ask the Navigator's Head for his magic necklace. Be harsh and you'll finally get the necklace from him. Use the necklace (you're now invisible to ghosts).

 

On the ghost ship, head towards the cabin (left). Use the magnetic compass with the key on the wall - it should fly towards the magnet. On deck, go down hatch. Pass the bedroom, continuing into the next room. Pick up the chicken and you'll obtain a ghost feather. In the bedroom, use the ghost feather on the drunken ghost pirate (when he is outstretched and his bottle is hanging down). You may need to do this more than once. Take his bottle of drink.

 

In the previous room use the key with the hatch. Go down the hatch and use the drink with the rat's bowl. Pick up grease. On deck, use grease with squeaky door. Go inside. Pick up ghost tools. Go to room with hatch and use tools on glowing crate. Look at it - you'll discover the anti-root. Exit ghost ship. Exit cave. You'll obtain root beer from Cannibals. On returning to the cave, you'll find it's been deserted.

 

GUYBRUSH KICKS BUTT

 

Head for the church on Mêlée Island (spraying ghosts on your way). After the wedding sequence, and after being punched all over the island by LeChuck, you'll end up at Stan's shipyard (in the drinks machine). Pick up your bottle of root beer and use it on LeChuck (quickly). Watch the colourful display.
