- Curse of Monkey Island Walkthrough
-
- 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.
-
-
- 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

- up and give you a hangover remedy. 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.

- bartender believe you're a Goodsoup relative.

- 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.

-
- Use the lantern on the coffin lid, then use Murray with the lantern. Get out of the crypt and into Stan's new place. Talk to stan
- and ask for 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

- you a lot of money.
