Prelude - An Unexpected Story Begins

Enter the Scurvydogs shop on the right. Interact with the key on a pegleg hanging on the left of the shop and then snag the key. Leave the shop and go to the outhouse located on the left. Use the key with the pegleg you picked up with the door to unlock it. Interact with the little metal thing on the ground near the door. It's a slug! Peel it off of the floor.

Go back to the Scurvydogs shop and give the slug to the counter guy. He gives you two Scurvydogs. Leave the shop, head to the right, and go through the flowers archway.

In this area, you will meet Dee. Here you can do different activities, but none is required to proceed. Go to the right until you see a gate and open it. Keep going to the right and talk to dad (Guybrush).

Part I - A Friendly Place

This part starts on the Mêlée Island lookout point. Finish talking to the Lookout by saying “I’m mounting my own voyage. Mine.”. He'll tell you to go to the Scumm Bar. Go down the stairs and to the right in the docks. Once you enter the building, go to the right and speak to the Pirate Leaders near the fireplace. Talk to them about financing an expedition. They won't help you get a ship, you need to find an alternative. Once the conversation is over you will storm off.

Go to LeChuck's ship on the left of the Scumm Bar. Talk to the ghost pirate and ask her about the swabbie job. You need a mop and a disguise. Leave the docks and go to the right to Low Street.

Making the mop

Enter the International House of Mouse on the right and talk to Corina, the Voodoo Lady. Once finished, look at the knife at the bottom of the screen and buy it. Also buy the frog near the knife.

Go back to the Scumm Bar and enter the kitchen located at the far right of the bar. Talk to the cook and ask him where you can buy a mop. He'll tell you you need to build it.

You need to find a mop-handle tree. Wally can make you a map. Talk to him in his map store on Low Street, opposite the Voodoo Shop. Tell him you're looking for a tree to make a mop from. He needs a slither of the wood of a mop so he can make you a map. Sneak the monocle. Exit the shop, enter again and take another one. Combine the two in the inventory.

The Scumm Bar cook has a mop, but you need to distract him first to take a slither of it. The cook is making a dish which was eaten at the Governor's mansion and needs to know the ingredients.

Go to the Governor's mansion past Low and High street, on the left of Mêlée Island. Try to borrow the “Ingredients” book from Carla in the bookshelf under the stairs. You need to get Carla to forgive you before she'll let you borrow the book.

Give the frog to Carla. Borrow the "Ingredients" book and bring it to the cook in the Scumm Bar kitchen. You can now take the mop. Use the knife with it to take a sample and put the mop back.

Give the wood sample to Wally in his map store and he'll make you a map. Go to the forest near the museum on the Mêlée Island overview, then use the mop map to navigate the forest. Your map shows you the path through the forest. Use the map to work out which path (up, left, or right) you need to take until you reach the mop tree.

Once you get to the mop tree, get a branch from it using the knife. You now have a mop handle. For the mop head, you can use one of the following four different items: tangled string (Scumm Bar kitchen), shrunken head (Voodoo shop), sea sponge (Stan's old shipyard) or stuffed animal (Governor's mansion). Combine the handle with one of those to make a mop.

Getting a disguise

Enter the forest on the outskirts of town and follow the signage to the museum on the right. Use the double monocle with the display case lock. You now have the serial number.

Go to the Locke Smith shop on High Street and give her the serial number and pick up the crackers.

Return to the museum. Use the crackers with the guard parrot and the key with the display case lock to take the eye patch. Take the eye patch to Corina, the Voodoo Lady on Low Street. Give it to her so she can charge up the eyepatch.

Head to LeChuck's ship at the docks. Put on the enchanted eye patch before getting to the quartermaster and then give her the mop.

Part II - A Dangerous Journey

Pick up the pamphlet near the ladder and open the crate on the other side of the room. You find out Murray is hiding inside.

Use the mop to swab the grease from the floor onto the porthole. Repeat this two more times. You can now escape through the porthole.

Once outside, head to the right and climb over the railing. LeChuck is talking to the crew on the deck and needs a flattened skull. Go back to the hold and take Murray against his will, or convince him to join you.

Return to the top deck and take the stairs down into the ship. Use Murray with the laundry machine to flatten him. Go to the top deck and put the flattened Murray into the cauldron.

From the top deck, climb up the mast at the back of the ship to the crow's nest and look around. Use the spyglass in the crow's nest to look around. Go all the way to the right until you spot Madison's crew.

It seems like Iron Rose is the only one who'd care about your plan, talk to her on the top deck. You'll have to convince each crew member individually to go to Monkey Island, and then call the vote when ready.

Getting Flair's vote

Talk to Flair near the kitchen on the lower deck and ask about her vote. Flair says her knife is stuck in Gullet's back, you'll have to find where he fell to retrieve it. From the greased porthole exterior, go all the way left and climb into the ocean down to the rudder. Pull out the knife from Gullet's back. Find Flair on the lower deck and give her knife back to her.

Getting Flambe's vote

Talk to Flambe in the crow's nest and ask about his vote. Ask Flambe if he has a favourite food and he'll say it's Scorched Alaska. Find Putra on the left side of the lower deck and ask her to make one for you. It seems like Putra wants a promotion, you'll have to get her one before she'll make a Scorched Alaska. Ask if she tried getting a promotion and she'll give you the request for promotion papers. Pick them up.

Go to LeChuck's cabin and try convincing him to give Putra a promotion. You might need to enter LeChuck's cabin twice. You'll have to complete the First Swab's Report before you can get Putra a promotion. Examine the First Swab's Report for instructions on how to complete the report. You need to find untidy areas on the ship and log them by using the First Swab's Report on it. You can log the five untidy areas below:

• Log a mess in the galley - e.g. the dirty dishes
• Log the greasy porthole in the hold
• Log Gullet beneath the ship
• Log the potion spill on the top deck
• Log the empty boxes on the top deck at the front of the ship

Now that you've filled out the form, bring it to Iron Rose on the top deck to initial it. Combine Putra's promotion request with the stack of papers and give the stack of papers to LeChuck directly. Go to the ship's galley and give the signed promotion request to Putra. Ask her to make a Scorched Alaska and pick it up. Give the Scorched Alaska to Flambe in the crow's nest. You now have his vote.

Getting Apple Bob's vote

Ask Flambe about the book and borrow it. Go to the top deck and give it to Apple Bob.

Getting Iron Rose's vote

Talk to Iron Rose on the top deck. Enquire about her loyalty to LeChuck. Show her the inspirational onboarding pamphlet you picked in the hold.

Getting Apple Putra's vote

Once you get Iron Rose's vote you just need to ask Putra about her vote.

Getting all votes

Ring the bell on the top deck once to vote.

Getting the map

Ring the bell on the top deck twice to summon LeChuck and at your first chance, sneak away to his cabin while he's shouting. Swap LeChuck's map with the mop map in your inventory.

Getting to Monkey Island

Pick up Murray on the top deck, if you haven't already, so you can send him to Madison's ship. Put Murray into the cannon on the top deck and fire the cannon.

Part III - Return to Monkey Island

Follow the signage to Monkey Island pointing right until you get to the beach. Go into the jungle behind the beach to travel across the island. You have LeChuck's map to The Secret, follow the directions on it:

• Begin your search at the red berry bush. Look for it north of the beach you landed at
• Follow the stone monkey hand, and take the path next to it to the right
• Go by the wooden chicken, and take the path near it to the north
• Sneak past the bees and heed the sign, and take the path to the right

Pick up the shovel and dig up the big X. Madison's crew will show up. Once you're done talking to them, trek to volcano beach on the west coast of the island. Go into the ocean on the left and keep walking until you find an anchor.

Climb up the anchor chain and go to the left until you find Gullet underneath LeShip. Gullet's notebook seems important to him, ask him about it. Keep on asking Gullet about his notebook and offer to help him with the poetry. Ask Gullet if he can show you his poetry and he'll give you the notebook.

Climb up, go to the right and try to go to the top deck. Flair will kick you out.

Find your “partners” at the east end of the island at the giant monkey head and talk to them about your trouble getting on the ship. Go back to the side of the ship and recite the disguise poem, you'll be able to board it now.

LeChuck's catch phrase

Go into the lower deck and sneak into LeChuck's cabin. Take LeChuck's diary from the shelf and read it. LeChuck's February 17 entry in his diary contains his current catchphrase.

LeChuck's favourite food

There are some daisies growing near the fence next to the giant monkey head on the east side of the island, pick them. Go to LeChuck's ship and talk to Putra in the ship's galley about LeChuck's eating habits. Putra says that LeChuck's favourite food is tentacles with daisy sauce, ask her to make some for you. Give her the daisies and pick up the dish.

LeChuck's theme song

Take Flair’s sheet music from the lower deck. The sheet music is on the left near the kitchen.

You now need to pick up six skulls, besides Murray:

• On the southern beach where you first arrived
• At the shipwreck on the eastern side of the island
• On Volcano Beach on the western side of the island
• In the ocean under LeChuck's ship
• Near the fence at the giant monkey head
• At the clifftop near the centre of the island

Head to the giant monkey head at the east end of the island. Go to the right until you find Murray. Grab the arm bone near the stakes. Place all of the skulls you have on the stakes. Use the arm bone on each skull to learn which note each one plays. You need to play the notes “Do Do Mi Sol Fa Fa Re” by bonking the skulls that produce the corresponding sounds. When asked, use the catchphrase from LeChuck's diary (February 17), and eat the tentacles.

Leaving Monkey Island

After you fall from the cliff, pick up the ship repair manual that Elaine left for you. You can also pick up Murray and the other skulls you left on the stakes, but it's not required. Meet Elaine and use the ship repair manual on the shipwreck. It's located on the east side of the island.

Part IV - Things Get Complicated

Go to the Voodoo Shop to confront the Voodoo Lady about The Secret. Once you're done talking with her and Widey Bones go to Wally's Maps-n-More and ask Wally for a sea map of the local area.

Getting Brrr Muda Golden Key

Return to the ship and set sail to Scurvy Island. Once there, head north to the camp. Take the firewood next to the tent and the painting on the table on the right. Read the note Elaine left and follow the directions to find her in the lime grove at the intersection of the two landmarks. After you speak with Elaine, pick up some limes.

Go back to the ship and set sail to the Brrr Muda Island. You will be stopped by customs. Now that you have limes, fill out the form but don't check the first box that asks if you are a pirate. Don't worry about the other boxes except the last one.

Head left to the island centre to leave the town centre. Enter the Ice Castle on the east of the island. Pick up the box of matches near the fire. Go up the stairs and talk to the Ice Queen. Talk to the Ice Queen in her throne room to challenge her to one of the contests.

Contest of Heartiness

Then, go to the fish shop on Mêlée and purchase the fish of the day, featured on the sign in the Heartiness Contest room.

Sail to LeChuck's ship, enter the galley and take the Demon Pepper. Go back to the Contest of Heartiness room in the Brrr Muda town hall and place the fish you purchased into the bucket. Sprinkle some Demon Pepper on the fish inside the bucket and ring the triangle to start the contest. Once the contest starts, take a fish from your inventory and place it onto your plate, instead of one from the bucket.

Contest of Intelligence

Enter the Room of Intelligence (mezzanine) and place the firewood you picked from the Scurvy Island camp in the fireplace. Light the fireplace with the matches you picked from the entrance of the queen's throne room.

Part V - Beneath the Monkey Head

Talk to Elaine until you arrive at the Giant Monkey Head. Once inside, walk to the ledge on the far right and jump to Certain Lava Death. Enter the stairs leading down.

There’s a plaque on the door blocking the stairway. The plaque on the door says “Only the organized pirate will pass.”. Explore the chambers and pick up the stone knife, the stone crackers, the stone spyglass and the stone mug. Your goal is to give each monkey statue in the chambers an object to hold that fits their pose.

• Give the stone spyglass to the squinting monkey statue
• Give the stone crackers to the monkey with the parrot
• Give the stone knife to the frustrated monkey

The door blocking the stairway will open. Before you leave, pick up the pieces of eight (pebbles) found on the ground of some chambers. Go to the lower level via the stairway. The plaque on the door blocking the stairway says “Only the unfair pirate will pass.”.

There are six pieces of eight made of stone strewn about the chambers, you'll need a few of them to give to the stone monkey statues. Each monkey statue has a treasure chest of differing size, use that as a guideline for how to distribute your stone pieces of eight. Give Captain Monkeybeard three stone pieces of eight, the First Swab two stone pieces of eight, and the cabin monkey one stone piece of eight.

Go down another level using the recently opened door. Keep exploring all the nearby chambers and use your knife on the sad monkey and on the screaming monkey. The final statue has been destroyed, you’ll have to find another way to fill the drain below it. Fill your mug with the oily liquid trickling from one of the statues you stabbed. Pour the oily liquid in your mug into the drain beneath the broken statue.

The last door is now open. Go down the stairs. Peer at the stone slab sinking into the lava below the code wheel. Part of the stone slab’s limerick describes the top half of a pirate’s face, while part of it describes the bottom half. Turn the outer and inner wheels until the two halves match the description of the pirate. Then, change the date in the middle of the code wheel to match the year in which the limerick was published.

Once you get it right a door will open beneath the code wheel. Enter it and explore the amusement park. When you are ready, turn off all the lights by using Stan's key ring on the light switches.
