THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND

This was the game from Lucas Arts which took hold of adventure gaming and
gave it a darn good shake, setting you off on the adventures of Guybrush
and the ghost pirate LeChuck. Loads of you are still stuck though, so here's
the full solution...

PART ONE - THE THREE TRIALS

GETTING YOUR GEAR FOR THE TRIALS

You will start the adventure at the lookout point above the town. The look-
out tells you where to begin your quest. To start off, WALK right along
the dock to the Scumm Bar. OPEN the door and WALK in. If you want try
TALKING TO some of the pirates around the room. Now WALK TO the red curtain
and TALK TO the important looking pirates. 

Tell them you want to be a pirate and get them to tell you about the three
trials before you leave.

OPEN the door to the right of you. The cook (A right fat git!) will tell
you to buzz off. Wait for him to come out and walk off the left of the
screen, then WALK into the kitchen.

CLOSE the door you just came through and PICK UP the hunk 'o' meat on the
table behind you, and the pot under the table. OPEN the door to the right
and go outside. WALK TO the end of the pier and WALK down a bit, the board
will jump and the sea gull will fly up a bit, keep doing this until it
gets quite high up then quickly PICK UP the fish. Go back out into the
street. CLOSE the Scumm Bar door. WALK left and then up to the cliff side.
Then from here WALK off the right of the screen to the PATH. Click
on the clearing in the middle of the island and then WALK left to the 
circus tent.

Interrupt the Fettuccine brothers' argument by clicking on Ahem...
Ask them how much they will pay you to do the stunt. Agree to their
offer and then tell them you have a helmet.

GIVE the pot to them and then the trick will be performed. Say something
(I suggest .. I'm Bobbin Are You My Mother? - Put your head upside down
dork!) to indicate that you are OK and then take you money and WALK back
to the path. 

Go back to the village and WALK left past the Scumm Bar and through the
archway to the main street. TALK TO the citizen of Melee, and when he
asks you about Sven, say that you know someone called Dominique. Tell
him you'll take the map then leave him.

WALK left and keep walking near the rat until it runs off. Then TALK
to The Men of Low Moral (Pirates) and say that you're sorry about the
rat, and just chat with them for a bit. Now walk to the right a bit and
then WALK TO the door on the right along the street and then OPEN it.
WALK in. PICK UP the rubber chicken with a ring through the middle which
is lying on the trunk and then LOOK at it. WALK right and TALK to the 
Vodoo lady for a while. Then WALK back to the street. Next WALK TO the
archway under the clock and then WALK TO the alley where the "Psssst" is
coming from. A man will appear and introduce himself as Sherrif Shinetop.
Then he will leave. Go back to the street. Next OPEN the door to the
right of the alley you just went down and WALK inside the shop. 
PICK UP the shovel at the top up the stairs and the sword at the back of 
the room.  Now TALK TO the store keeper. Tell him you want the Sword
and the Shovel and then leave the shop and WALK out. Go back through
the archway and then back to near the Scumm Bar, then back to the Cliffside
to the Path. 

COMPLETING THE TRIALS

Go to the house at the far right of Melee Island. You will be stopped 
by the Troll for the Toll to get over the bridge. GIVE the fish to him
to reveal his true identity and get past. Go on to the house and try
to OPEN the door. Guybrush will knock and a man will answer.

Ask him to train you to be the best sword fighter on Melee Island. Insist
that you have what it takes. Let him take the 30 pieces 'o' eight and
your session will begin. 

Once the training is finished, you will need to learn some insults.
WALK TO the path and go to the junction just left to the fork (But don't
go to the fork). this is where you will have the most chance of a scrap.

Fight any pirates that come along to collect their insults and
their replies. This is the hardest part of the game, so write
all the insults down on paper and their replies next to them.
If you have an insult but not a reply then use it, since the responces are 
the important thing. 

At some point you will be told you are good enough to fight the Sword
Master. You're not! Collect as many of the 20 insults and responces you
can before you pack it in. When you are done go back to the village and
make your way to the shop you were in before. Tell the Shop Keeper you
want to see the Sword Master, he will go and quickly follow him every
where he goes right through the forest and to the Sword Masters.
If you loose him, go back to the shop and USE the bell to make him
return and make him go again.

WALK TO the Sword Master then TALK TO her. Tell her that you have
come to kill her. The Sword Master gives you different insults to
the ones you have already but look through your collection of replies
until you see one than you consider appropriate to the insult given.

When she is defeated she will give you a 100% cotton T-Shirt. LOOK AT
it to see your prize. You can now use the Sword Master's insults to
win any fights you get into, but you won't need to get into a sword
fight from now on. Now WALK back to the path and into the fork, and enter
the forest. WALK to the back of the screen and PICK UP the yellow flowers.

Now LOOK AT the map for directions to the treasure. They look like dance
steps but they are really instructions. Back means into the door
at the back of the screen, while left and right mean off the screen in
that direction. Copy the steps if you like onto paper.

Once you find the treasure clearing WALK TO the right and USE the shovel
on the X. LOOK AT the T-Shirt you get to see your prize and WALK TO
the left to go back to the path. 

Go to the village and WALK back to the town near the shop. WALK off the
left of the screen to the Governors Mansion. USE the yellow petal flowers
on the hunk 'o' meat and GIVE the now-formed meat with condiment to the
deadly piranha poodles. When the poodles pass out (Not die) look at the
message which pops up on the screen and then OPEN the door to the mansion
and WALK in.

OPEN the door just to the right of the front door and WALK in. A surreal
figh sequence will then unfold giving you some items for your inventory.
WALK back out of the front door and back to the town.

WALK into the jail and TALK TO death breath (The prisoner). Go back out
to the street and to the shop. TALK TO the store keeper and ask him for
a breath mint then leave his shop.

WALK back to the jail and GIVE the breath mints to the prisoner. Aks
him if he has a file, then GIVE him the gopher repellent. When you have
the cake go back to the street. WALK back to the governors mansion and
go in.

LOOK AT the cake to find it has a file in it then WALK TO the gaping
hole. The fight will continue and you will eventually emerge with a
fabulous idol.

The sherrif will then stop you and ask you what you are doing with it.
Tell him you're taking it for a walk. The governor will appear and tell
Fester to sod off. Chat to the governor (Well kind 'o' chat!) and WALK TO
the front door when she leaves. OPEN the door and Sherrif Shinetop (Ha ha!)
will throw you off the dock. Ooh! The plot thickens!

STARTING THE QUEST

When you appear underwater. PICK UP the idol. You will then collect the 
sword and climb back to the dock. The lookout appears to tell you that
the governor has been kidnapped. Ask him about it and he will give you a 
note from LeChuck telling you about what's happening.

WALK right to the Scumm Bar and go it. PICK UP all the mugs and WALK TO
the red curtain. TALK TO the cook. Ask him what's wrong and get him to 
tell you where to get a much needed ship.

OPEN the kitchen door and go in. The next sequence has to be done pretty
speedily. USE the mug on the barrel and then zoom off to the jail.
The grog will eat through the mugs at various points in the game. USE the
near dead mug 'o' grog on one of the empty mugs. If you fail abysmally
then return to the Scumm Bar and pick up the reappered mugs and repeat
the sequence.

When you arrive at the jail. USE the mug 'o' grog on the lock so that the
prisoner is free. When you try to convince him to join your crew he will
scarper. But never mind! He'll be back.

WALK back to the street and WALK right back to the path. Go to the shore at
the top of the island. When the screen with the neon sign appears USE the 
rubber chicken with the cable to cross the gap. Now OPEN the
door on the house and go in. Meathook will appear and tell you he doesn't
like visitors (Insult him if you like but when you run out come back in).
Tell him the governors has been kidnapped and you are forming a crew
to rescue her. Meathook will give you a test to prove your worth.
When he has opened all the barriers and scarpers OPEN the little door
and FONDLE the parrot. Meathook will agree to be on your crew after
a while. USE the rubber chicken to cross the gap again and go
back to the path.

Go to the Sword Masters by clicking on the little light north of the forest.
The text Sword Masters will come on the pointer. TALK TO her. Get her
to join your crew simply by telling her the governor has been kidnapped.
Now WALK TO the path.

Go to the lights, which are really Stan's Used Ship Emporium, he will
approch you and use his sales pitch. Say you don't have much money and
you want a credit. He will refuse. Tell him you need time to think about
it and then try to leave the yard. Stan will come after you and give you a 
magnetic compass and a card.

Go to the village and WALK TO the shop. TALK TO the store keeper. Tell
him you want to produce a not of credit. Say that you are a Foul Smelling
Grog Swilling Pirate (Or anyother job there is!). He will get a note
from the safe. Make a careful note of the combination! (Weather it is
pull and push). He won't belive you. He will put the note back. Last
chance to geth the combination. If you miss it then leave and
then go back in and try again. The combination varies on different
versions of the game I think but here is my combination:

Pull
Pull
Pull
Push
Push
Push
Push
Pull
Push
Push
Push
Push

Tell him you are looking for the Sword Master to send him away. Now go
to the safe and Pull to move the handle left and Push to move it right.
Enter the combination and open the safe to get the credit note. Go back
to Stan's Boat Yard.

Ask to see the cheap ship again and say that you have a not of credit.
The negotiationg will now begin. Talk about extras and say that you can
do with out them all until you return back to the first one (The fog one)
. At this point say that you've heard enough about extras. Ask Stan how
much the ship is worth. Then say you don't want it after all. Say you guess
he's right when he calls you back. And make him an offer of the one around
4050 pieces 'o' eight. He'll then sell you the ship. 

Leave the yard and then go back to the village. WALK TO the dock to
meet Stan with your ship. He will give you some literature to use
later on in your adventure. Greet your crew when they arrive and then
you're ready to sail the seventh seas! Ahoy!

PART TWO - THE JOURNEY

OPEN the desk drawer and LOOK AT the contents. LOOK AT the book to

when you have climbed up. Go back down and then OPEN the hatch and go

When you wake up go to the deck to discover that you are on Monkey Island!

and then return to the deck.
