Secret of Monkey Island - A Guide Part 9

   As played on an Amiga 500 (1 meg) by Ron Rainbird

@~Continued from last issue.

If you followed implicitly the indications of the Head you
should have arrived at the ghost ship of Le Chuck. You have
to proceed on board if you are to get the voodoo root that
will beat the Captain and, hopefully, make the lovely Governor
be eternally grateful to you. However, you will probably be
chased off the boat by one of the ghostly crew, so take the
necklace from the Head and wear it to make you invisible. If
the Head is reluctant to give it up, threaten it with immersion
in the Lava. Once you wear the Necklace, you can board the ship
without fear (well, almost without fear). The door on the stern
squeaks, so go to the door opposite (Le Chuck's Cabin) and get
the key hanging on the wall. Do this by pointing the magnetic
compass towards it and it will come to you silently.

Go back to the main deck and down the hatch to the Crew's
Quarters.  You need to get a rum bottle from a sleeping drunken
ghost but he will not let go of it. Carry on through the room to a
part containing ghostly animals. Pick up a chicken and get a
feather from it. Go back to the drunken sailor and tickle him
until he drops the rum bottle. Get the bottle and go back to the
room containing the animals and with the key from Le Chuck's cabin
unlock a hatch and descend. Some rum poured into a feeding dish
will dispose of the guardian rat and when it has passed out go to
a tub and get a handful of lard. Now you have the means to silence
the squeaky door opposite Le Chuck's cabin and, again hopefully,
find the Governor and the Voodoo Root, but all you find are ghost
tools. Take them back to the hold where there is a glowing crate
and force it open. Hooray, at last you have discovered the hiding
place of the Voodoo Root, but why you are cheering Goodness knows,
because you still have a worrisome time ahead.

@~To be concluded next issue.
