THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND - part 2

              As experienced by Captain Arnie

@~Continued from Issue 52

This is brilliant, the crew song can go on as long as you do not
mention the Orange, as they cannot get anything to rhyme with it.
Next choose the easy or hard combat mode.  To engage in combat
click on the map and pick your target. Each time you have a
victory sail back to port and upgrade the cannons until you are
strong enough to fight Captain Rottingham and regain your map.

PART 4

After the shipwreck try to get the hand lotion but Haggis will
only part with it in return for a tar substitute.  Pick up the
bottle of shaving soap and explore the island.  Find Elaine and
try to remove the ring - so now we know where to use the hand
lotion.

The hotel

Get your fortune told and pick up the cards until you have 5 of
them.  Speak with the hungover barman and get the recipe book and
the stool cushion.  Read the book to find out what ingredients you
need for a hangover cure.  Egg, Pepper and hair of the dog.  Leave
the hotel and wander down to the cemetery, get the mallet and
chisel then examine Old Pew the dog.  Remember the saying hair of
the dog THAT BIT ME.  Give the biscuit to the dog and get the
hair.

The pepper is growing on the right side of the windmill and the
egg is in a nest by the beach.  To get the egg use the cushion on
the rocks and hit the tree with the mallet.  Give all the
ingredients to your soon-to-be-relative Goodsoup. When he mixes
the cure keep the rest. Ask about the ring, his aunt's tomb and
Skull Island. He mentions the missing Welshman and the lighthouse.


FIXING THE LIGHTHOUSE

You need a source of light and a mirror.  Ask Goodsoup for a drink
with an umbrella in it then pick up the tip jar on the counter.
Open the jar with the chisel and go to the windmill.  Use the
brolly on the vanes and fill the jar with sugar water, go to
Elaine and use the open jar of water on the tree stump to attract
fireflies.  Remember to punch some holes in the lid otherwise the
fireflies will die.

Now go back to the hotel and go upstairs into the first room, note
the nail in the wall so hit it with the mallet and go out and get
the nail and the portrait.  Cut the portrait with the scissors and
use the face part on the mirror behind the bar.  Pick up the
mirror and go to the lighthouse.  Replace the mirror and use the
lantern on the lantern stand.  Return to the beach and talk with
the boatman, he will only take you to Skull Island when he has a
compass.  Remember the book you retained from inside the snake so
make a compass from the cork from the soap bottle, the pin from
the voodoo doll, the measuring cup you have or will pick up in the
native village.  In the back room of the hotel is a fridge and on
the fridge is a magnet, get it and use it to magnetize the needle,
fill the measuring cup with seawater and we have a home made
compass.

SKULL ISLAND

Climb up the mountain and get winched down the dodgy lift, use the
brolly as a parachute and enter the smuggler's cave.  You can get
a doll of Le Chuck, very amusing but not used in this solution.
The object here is to play cards to win the diamond but you don't
have any money so return to Blood Island.

Return to the hotel and use the chisel on the cheese in the back
room and go to the native village, here is an auger (not used)
the measuring cup you needed and a block of TOFU? What is tofu?
Anyway, go up the trail and talk to Lemonhead to discover
vegetarian cannibals and the fact that the volcano is lactose
intolerant. Leave the screen and use the chisel on the tofu to
make a mask then use the mask.  Throw the cheese into the volcano.
This will cause an eruption and the lava flow will light the
barbecue on the hotel patio.  Use the cheese in the cooking pot
and take the resulting mess to Haggis.  He will now let you have
the hand lotion to remove the cursed ring from Elaine.

GETTING INTO THE CRYPTS

Ask Goodsoup for a drink and combine the drink with the head-be-
clear potion (HBC); do not do this at home, folks.  You wake up in
a tomb so use the chisel to escape and use it again on the other
coffin.  OH NO, STAN AGAIN.  Pick up the coffin nails and leave
the screen and return again to Stan.  Buy a policy using the gold
tooth as collateral, remember we need money to play cards with the
smugglers so try to cash in the policy.  What proof have we? None
yet.  Go to the hotel and try to con Goodsoup that you are a
family member.  Go upstairs and use the card on the locked door
and pull the bed.  To get the book use the nails on it and get the
family history, now use the cutout portrait frame on the porthole
of the first door and enter the room.  Look through the porthole
until Goodsoup inspects his ancestors.  Talk with Goodsoup until
he accepts you and use the family history to really convince him,
now repeat the drink and the HBC, this time you are buried in the
family tomb.

Talk with the ghost to find she will not remove the ring until she
is married.  Get the crowbar and use it on the crack at the back
of the tomb. If you combine Murray and the lantern Mort will open
the crypt.  Now return to the backroom in the hotel and examine
the family file to see your death certificate. Get this and go
upstairs to the skeleton, use the crowbar on the planks at the
back of the bed then remove the nails from the bed.  Return to the
crypt and pick up the empty ring.  Cash in the policy with Stan to
get lots of money and return to Skull island and play cards.
Substitute your five cards and watch the cut scene. Use the
diamond with the band and put it on Elaine's finger.

PART 5

Talk with Le Chuck until he turns you into a little boy, open the
door and explore the carnival.

Ask Dinghy Dog how to win a prize and ask him to guess your age,
select the anchor and listen to Murray complain. Make a fake pie
from the soap, piepan and anchor, then put it on the pile.
Persuade the rat to fire the cannon then open the gate and use the
hole to get blasted.  Your inventory now contains some meringue.
Next punch Dinghy Dog until he bites you and you get some hair.
Next pick up the pepper mill and ask the soda jerk for a snow
cone, use the pepper meringue and hair on the cone and eat it to
break the spell.

PART 6

On the roller coaster exit at the first diorama and get the rope.
At the next one get the keg o' rum and at the third open the
lantern and blow on the oil flask and get it.  At the snow one
combine the rope with the oil to make a fuse then use it on the
keg.  Stuff the keg into the monkey's arm and come back down the
path to the car.  To make Le Chuck appear just miss the car
leaving and when he is about to burn you use the pepper on him.
Watch the credits if you must, but there is nothing amusing in
them.
