General important stuff
First of all, this game is really great and shouldn't be solved only
with this walkthrough. There are a lot of other things to do and explore.
The walkthrough just shows the minimal things you have to do in order to
finish the game and this could ruin a lot of the fun. When you get to a
new place explore everything you can, you'll need it to know the names
of the places so you know where to go to with the walkthrough. When it's
written to talk to someone, really talk to the character and get as much
information as you possibly can. This is also very important because sometimes
certain things the characters say, trigger Guybrush to do certain things
later and not to mention the valuable information you get out from them.
Where it's written "Mega-Monkey" it's meant for the Mega-Monkey mode in
the game. If you're playing the easy mode, ignore it. Contact me: zig@a-vip.com
Part 1: The Demise of the Zombie Pirate LeChuck
You start your adventure as a prisoner in LeChuck's ship. Talk to the
small pirate and find out that it's Wally. Talk to him some more and he
gives you some pirate literature, Keep talking to him until starts crying
and drops his plastic hook. Get the plastic hook and the ramrod off the
wall. Use the cannon and shoot down the skeleton's boats. After you shot
down all the boats, open your inventory and combine the plastic hook with
the ramrod to get a gaff. Look out the window. Use the gaff on the debris
to get the skeleton arm and cutlass. You can also talk to Murray the skull
and use the gaff on him if you want. Go back into the room, use the cutlass
on the cannon restraint rope, and use the cannon. In the treasure room
get the bag and the ring. Use the ring on the porthole and out you go.
Part 2: The Curse Gets Worse
Get the glowing ember that's on the ground. Travel to the swamp, talk
to Murray the skull and get into the wrecked ship. Get the pin from the
paper voodoo doll and use the nickels on the gumball machine to get a pack
of gum.
Mega-Monkey: Also get the paste from the floor.
Pull the alligator tongue and talk to the voodoo lady until you she
has nothing new to say. You find out that Elaine got stolen and that in
order to lift the curse you'll have to sail to Blood Island, and get a
huge uncursed diamond ring. She also tells you that you'll need a Map,
a crew and a ship in order to get there.
Travel to Puerto Pollo and go to the theater backstage door, get the
dandruff from the pirate coat and find out that it's actually lice, also
get the glove from the coat.
Mega-Monkey: To get the dandruff, look at the pirate coat first.
To get the glove you have to open the pocket in the pirate coat first.
Get the magic wand from the table, and use it on the magic hat, get
the book from the hat and look at the book to learn it's a ventriloquism
book. Look at the worn travel trunk and look at the Blood Island sticker
on it. Go right to the stage and talk to Slappy Cromwell especially about
Blood Island.
Go out of the theater and go to the barber shop, talk to everyone about
everything you can. Get the jawbreaker from the floor.
Mega-Monkey: to get the jawbreaker from Cutthroat Bill hit him
twice (hand icon on bill) and he'll spit out the jawbreaker.
Put the lice on the comb that the barber is using when he puts it down,
this will take care of Captain Rottingham and make place for you. Sit on
the barber chair and talk to Haggis while he does your hair. Use the handle
once and get the paperweight that's on the hairstyling book, this will
make Haggis go away so use the handle of the chair until you're high enough
to get the scissors, and take it.
Travel to the mysterious flowers (it's near the lemonade stand, and
the restaurant in Puerto Pollo). Cut the flower with the scissors and Guybrush
will learn it's used as a purgative. Now use the scissors with the undergrowth
and Guybrush will find himself in Snake Crossing. Guybrush will get eaten
by a huge snake now, it doesn't matter what you do. Get all the stuff from
inside the snake until there's nothing more to take. Use the ipecac flower
on the pancake syrup in your inventory to get syrup of ipecac. Use the
ipecac syrup on the snake's head and he'll barf you out.
Great... now you're stuck in quicksand. Open up your inventory, and
use the paperweight with the helium balloons, now blow the floating balloon
(use parrot icon on it) and it should stop right above the branch (eventually...),
get a thorn from the thorny plant that's right infront of you and get a
hollow reed from the reeds behind you. Combine the thorn and the hollow
reed in your inventory and you've just made a world class pee-shooter.
Use the pea-shooter on the floating balloon, and you're out of the quicksand.
Guybrush will now find a new place, but we will get to it later.
Travel to Puerto Pollo and enter the restaurant, now you can enter with
the reservation slip you got from the snake. Touch the quiet patron and
get the serrated bread knife from his back, also get the club card from
between the chicken bones.
Mega-Monkey: to get the club card, get a biscuit from the biscuit
barrel, open your inventory and eat the biscuit (parrot icon on biscuit),
you get maggots. Use the maggots on the gross chicken, and you got the
club card. Also get the pie pan and the biscuit cutter.
Talk to Captain Blondebeard and learn that he wants something crunchy
to chew on so give him the jawbreaker, that will loosen his tooth a bit,
now he wants something chewy, so give him the gum. When he blows a bubble,
pop it with the pin you got and the gold tooth will fly out of it. Take
the gold tooth from the floor.
Mega-Monkey: You can't leave the restaurant with the gold tooth
so do this... chew some gum (parrot icon), use the gold tooth on the chewed
gum, inhale some helium from the helium balloon (parrot icon again) and
chew the gum with the gold tooth. The gum will just fly out of the window
so exit the restaurant and use the pie pan with the mudpuddle and you got
the gold tooth.
Get out of the restaurant and go through the pathway near the mysterious
door, that's near the theater (you'll should see a red arrow pointing up).
You'll find yourself in the caber toss place, walk over to the grassy knoll
and use the serrated bread knife on the sawhorse (the rum keg stand thingie...),
this will make the rum keg fall and leave a trail of rum, use the ember
on a stick on the trail of rum and KABOOM. Suprisingly the blasted log
will fall right on the log pile.
Go to the barber shop, and talk to Haggis. Accept his offer for a caber
toss match and of course you'll win it now with the rubber tree log. You
got one crew member, two more to go. Go to Edward Van Helgen in barber
shop, and use the glove on him. He'll take you to the caber tossing area
for a duel. When he lets you choose your weapon close the lid of the middle
pistol's box and choose the banjo. Ok, now you're banjo dueling with Edward.
The concept of the duel is very simple, Edward plays a his thing and then
a special note, he does that a few times, on your turn you have to repeat
the notes that Edward played in the same order. If you get it right, Edward
will go crazy with his banjo, so go to the pistols, pick one and shoot
his banjo. Now Edward is in your crew and you need only one more crew member,
so go to Cutthroat Bill in the barber shop, and show him the gold tooth
you got.
That's it, you now have a crew, all you need now is a map and a ship.
Travel to the cabana and talk to the cabana boy, show him your club card.
Before you go in, take three towels and dunk them in the ice bucket. Go
to the beach and try to walk on it, Guybrush will burn up so use
the wet towels on the hot sand three times quickly before they burn out.
Talk to the sunbather, and learn that it's Palido Domingo, Slappy Cromwell's
travel agent, and that he's got the map to Blood Island tattooed on his
back. Get his mug and leave through the gate. Travel to Puerto Pollo and
go to the lemonade stand. Talk to the small pirate and learn about his
bottomless mug policy. Order some lemonade and Guybrush will now understand
the meaning of the bottomless mug policy. Use the mug in your inventory
on the bottomless mug and order some lemonade again. Get the pitcher and
fill it up with dye from the dye vat near the lemonade stand. Travel to
the cabana and get a towel, dunk it in the ice bucket again and use the
wet towel on the cabana boy so he'll go away. Take the cooking oil and
go to the beach again (you don't have to do the towel thing again). Give
the bottomless mug to Palido and pour the dye into the bottomless mug.
Palido will turn over, now use the cooking oil on the map, and then get
the map (yuck).
Now all you need is to find Elaine and get a ship. Travel to Danjer
Cove use the boat.
Mega-Monkey: You need to fix the hole in the boat first, so go
to the caber toss area in Puerto Pollo and use the biscuit cutter on the
second rubber tree. Go back to Danjer Cove, use the paste with the new
rubber plug and use the sticky rubber plug with the hole in the boat.
Travel to the pirate ship and board it. The pirates will make you walk
the plank so cut it when you're on the rowboat again with the serrated
bread knife. Climb the ship again, do something, and this time you'll
be tarred and feathered. So now your back on shore and you look like a
big chicken. Travel to the restaurant and Captain Blondebeard will eventually
hit you in the head and you'll be taken to the monkey ship. When you're
in the chicken bucket look at the book in your inventory if you hadn't
done so by now, and learn that it's a ventriloquism book. Use the ventriloquism
book on LeChimp. Get the treasure map and get out of the ship by opening
the porthole behind the chicken bucket.
Travel to Puerto Pollo and look at the treasure map. Go to the theater
backstage and walk up the stairs, pull the handle in the control panel
and you'll find the X.
Mega-Monkey: At the control panel you'll have to follow the instructions
in the treasure map to find the X, for example when it says NorthWest you
have to push the NorthWest button. Follow all the instructions and you
should find the X on the grave on the stage eventually.
Use the chicken grease on the cannon balls that are on the old trunk
to get Slappy off the stage. Walk right to the stage and use the shovel
to dig up Elaine.
Part 3: Three Sheets to the Wind
Sing along with the crew members until they get tired of it. When Haggis
asks you what kind of a captain you are he's actually letting you decide
on the difficulty level for the sea battles in this part. If you really
want to work and have fun tell him you want full control, if you ask for
their help the sea battle will be MUCH easier. Don't worry, if you change
your mind later you can always talk to Haggis again and ask him for help,
or regain full control of the battles.
The goal of this part is to beat Captain Rottingham in sea battle and
sword fight, to get back the map to Blood Island. In order to do that you'll
have to fight other pirates and upgrade your weapons until your good enough
to fight him. Use your navigation chart and meet other ships to fight with.
In the beginning go for the really easy ships, if you beat them in sea
battle, you'll board the ship and start sword fighting. The sword fighting
has the same concept as in Monkey Island 1 only here the insults have to
rhyme. In almost every fight you gain some new insults and the witty answer
to the insult. You have to remember the answers to the insults and this
is how you'll win those fight. Also, sometimes if you don't have a treasure
on your ship, you might want to lose an insult on purpose, just to get
a new insult from the other guy.
Every ship you defeat in the sword fight, you take their treasure. Then
you have to go back to Puerto Pollo and upgrade your weapons. The more
fearsome the pirates are, the more treasure they have and the better fire
power you need to defeat them. After you defeat a ship in sea battle, you
don't have to defeat them again, you can just board the ship and sword
fight them. You can also fight the same ship a few times after you got
their treasure, just for practice, this is very recommended.
You gain levels and fight stronger pirates, until you fight Captain
Rottingham himself. The Captain doesn't use the same insults as the common
pirates use, so you have to think what simple insult answer is appropriate
and make sure it rhymes. Good Luck.
Part 4: The Bartender, the Thieves, his Aunt, and her Lover
Talk to Haggis about everything, especially the lotion. Get the bottle
from the shore and bite the cork to open it (use the parrot icon on the
bottle). Travel to the cemetery, walk down and get the mallet and chisel.
Get some smelly dog hair and the dog treats, give the old dog some dog
treats so he'll bite you.
Mega-Monkey: There are no dog treats in this mode, so give the
old dog the maggoty biscuit so he'll bite you.
Travel to the hotel and enter the bar. Talk to Madame Xima, ask for
fortune telling and get the five "death" tarot cards also Get the cushion
from one of the bar's stools, get the recipe book, and get the brochures.
Mega-Monkey: Madame Xima won't give you all the five "death"
cards at once, you have to ask her to tell you your fortune five times
so you'll have all the five.
Read appendix in the recipe book and learn the ingredients for the hangover
cure. Go to the door in the bar. Use the chisel on the big wheel of cheese

Talk to the bartender about everything you possibly can.
Mega-Monkey: Before you order the grog, order a big fruity drink
with an umbrella in it to get an umbrella.
Order some grog (don't drink it yet). Open your inventory and use the
chisel on the Head-B-Clear bottle to open it. Get the jar from the counter.
Use the Head-B-Clear bottle on the grog glass and drink up. Oops, you died
(remember the warning in the recipe book?).
You are now in the tomb, use the chisel with the coffin you're in. Get
the coffin nails from the coffin you were in. Use the chisel with the coffin
in the middle to let Stan out. Go back to the hotel and enter the bar,
go up the stairs and into the closet room. Use the mallet on the nail in
the wall and go out. Get the nail from the hall and enter the open bedroom.
Mega-Monkey: Also get the portrait that fell with the nail. To
unlock the bedroom door use Stan's business card with it and enter the
bedroom.
Take down the bed and use the coffin nails on it and the nail from the
portrait. Get the book from the skeleton and look at it. Go down out of
the room and downstairs to the bar.
Mega-Monkey: Before you go downstairs to the bar, go to the hall
and use the portrait in your inventory on the closet door (from the outside).
Use the scissors with the portrait, enter the closet room and look through
the porthole. This will make the bartender believe you're a Goodsoup relative.
Talk to the bartender about why you haven't been buried with his aunt.
Tell him your a member of his family, and finally talk about the Goodsoup
family history. order a drink. Use the head-b-gone on it, to die again.

bride about everything. Go to the left of the crypt. Get the crowbar and
walk towards the crack. Murray will fall from above, take him. Look through
the crack in the wall and talk to Mort. Use the skeleton arm on the lantern
and go back to the crypt.
Mega-Monkey: To get the lantern, use the paste on the skeleton
arm and then use it on the lantern.
Use the lantern on the coffin lid, then use Murray with the lantern.

an insurance policy. Offer him a gold tooth and he'll give you the insurance
policy.
Travel to the hotel, enter the bar, go into the storage room. Get the
death certificate. Go back into the bar, upstairs. Enter the bedroom, use
the crowbar with the boarded hole and then the crowbar with the bed. After
the short scene you'll find yourself in the crypt again, so take the engagement
band. Travel to Stan's place, ask Stan to cash the insurance policy. Stan
will give you a lot of money.
Travel to the village. Get the block of tofu, the auger and the measuring
cup. Go up, and talk to Lemonhead about everything. Open the inventory

to go down, he'll start lowering you and then drop you. When you fall,
quickly use your umbrella (hand icon on umbrella in inventory) and you'll
get to the smuggler's cave. Tell them you have a lot of money, and talk
to King Andre. Agree to play poker with them for the diamond. While in
the game give King Andre the five "death" tarot cards. You'll win the game

ring on Elaine's hand, and take it off. Open your inventory and use the

pick a prize. It doesn't matter what you choose, you'll eventually have
to take the anchor. Get the anchor and put it in the meringue pie near

the oily rope with the keg of rum. Go up the screen to the giant snow monkey
and put the keg of rum under the snow monkey's arm. Go down the screen
and wait for LeChuck to come. When he's about to burn you, use the pepper
on him and he'll sneeze fire right on the rope that happens to be connected
to the rum keg, that means that it's gonna be one big blast, and the end
(yeah, right) of LeChuck and this great adventure.
