============================================================



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLOOD ISLAND

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

SEA

 

Watch the cut scene, as you and your crew battle a fierce storm, as you sail to Blood Island.  Eventually, you crash into the shore.  That’s when Haggis tells you that the crew are forming a mutiny.  They’re leaving you, to return to Plunder Island, so they can be barbers again.  It seems you’re on your own again, Guybrush. 

 

 

 

 

SHIPWRECK

 

Pick up BOTTLE from the sand.  Look at BOTTLE in your Inventory, to see that it’s a BOTTLE OF SHAVING SOAP.  Try to take HAND LOTION next to Haggis, but he won’t let you.  Talk to Haggis and work through all the dialogue.  He agrees to give you the HAND LOTION if you can find him something similar to tar, that he could use to repair the ship.  When you’re ready, walk left to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

All locations are marked with ‘?‘ until you visit them.  Go to Elaine’s Clearing, which is just to the left of the Shipwreck.  It’s easy to miss, but it’s there. 

 

 

 

 

ELAINE’S CLEARING

 

Look at Elaine - she seems safe for the moment.  Try to take CURSED RING from her finger, but it’s really stuck on.  Take note of the fireflies - aren’t they pretty.  Return to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to the Windmill on the left. 

 

 

 

 

WINDMILL

 

Look at the windmill blades.  Take PEPPER from the pepper plant that’s next to the door.  Now walk down to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to Cemetery at the bottom of the map. 

 

 

 

 

CEMETERY

 

Look at plaque.  Look at tombstone.  Look at crypt.  Look at tomb.  You can’t do anything else here at the moment.  Walk down to the next part of the cemetery. 

 

Look at the old dog.  Take some DOGGY TREATS from the dog bowl, then give DOGGY TREATS to the old dog.  He’ll bite you (that’s important for later on).  Take some SMELLY DOG HAIR from the old dog.  Look at carved tombstone.  Take CHISEL that’s lying next to the carved tombstone.  Take MALLET that’s lying next to the carved tombstone.  Look at the shack, and look at crack between the doors - there’s no-one in there right now.  Walk up 2 screens, so you’re back at the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to the Hotel. 

 

 

 

 

HOTEL

 

Walk right a few steps, and look at the billboard.  Now enter the hotel. 

 

Talk to Madame Xima, the Fortune Teller, and work through all the dialogue.  She tells your fortune, and she predicts your death!  Gulp!  Pick up the TAROT CARD she leaves on the table.  Look in your Inventory to see that you now have 5 TAROT CARDS.  Try to talk to the Bartender.  He has a terrible hangover, and he won’t talk to you until you cure him.  Look at BROCHURE on the counter next to Bartender, and take BROCHURE.  Look at RECIPE BOOK at end of the counter, and take RECIPE BOOK.  Look at RECIPE BOOK in your Inventory, and turn the pages until you see the hangover cure.  You need egg, pepper, and hair of the dog that bit you.  Take CUSHION from the  barstool on the left.  Go through archway on the left, and climb up the stairs. 

 

Look at all the portraits on the wall.  Pay special attention to the portrait of Baron C. Lambert Chowder-Goodsoup.  He looks a lot like the Bartender.  Try to take the portrait, but it’s nailed to the wall.  Enter through door on the left. 

 

Have a look round the room.  Notice NAIL in the wall next to the door.  Use your MALLET on the NAIL to knock it through the wall.  Now leave the room. 

 

Back out in the hall, the portrait has fallen down now, since the NAIL is no longer holding it up.  Pick up NAIL from the floor.  Try to enter the far door, but it’s locked.  Walk right, back down the stairs. 

 

Open door in the back wall, next to Madame Xima.  Enter through door, into the Storage Room. 

 

Look at the giant Wheel Of Cheese.  Use your CHISEL on the Wheel Of Cheese, and you get UN-MELTED HUNK OF NACHO CHEESE.  Look at fridge on the right, and take Big Whoop FRIDGE MAGNET.  Now leave the room. 

 

Walk right, and leave the hotel. 

 

Return to the Map Screen.

Go to Strange Lights near the volcano. 

 

 

 

 

STRANGE LIGHTS \ VILLAGE

 

Take BLOCK OF TOFU from the table.  Walk right a few steps.  Take MEASURING CUP and take AUGER from small table on the right.  Walk up to the edge of the volcano. 

 

Talk to Lemonhead, and work through all the dialogue.  Eventually, you learn about the ‘Featured Guest’.  But Lemonhead doesn’t know what this guest looks like.  In your Inventory, use AUGER with the BLOCK OF TOFU to create a TOFU MASK.  Now use TOFU MASK.  Lemonhead will think you’re the ‘Featured Guest’ he’s been waiting for, and takes you up to witness the volcano sacrifice ceremony.  Throw UN-MELTED HUNK OF NACHO CHEESE into the volcano.  The volcano reacts violently, and lava begins to flow across the island.  Make your way back to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to Beach at bottom of the map. 

 

 

 

 

BEACH

 

Look at EGG in the tree on the right.  You need that egg, as part of the hangover cure for the Bartender.  But notice how it’s right above the rocks - it will surely break, if you knock it down.  Don’t worry, use CUSHION from the barstool on the rocks, to create a soft landing.  Now use your MALLET to hit the rubber tree, knocking the EGG onto the CUSHION.  You automatically pick up the EGG.  Return to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to the Hotel. 

 

 

 

 

HOTEL

 

Enter the hotel. 

 

Give EGG to the Bartender.  Give SMELLY DOG HAIR to the Bartender.  Give PEPPER to the Bartender.  He mixes up a batch of HEAD-B-CLEAR hangover cure, drinks some, and gives you the rest.  What a transformation!  Work through all the dialogue with him.  Talk to the Bartender, and learn that he’s Griswold Goodsoup.  You also learn the tragic story of Minnie Goodsoup.  Poor Minnie!  Now ask him for a drink, and make sure you choose the drink with the UMBRELLA in it.  When conversation is over, take EMPTY JAR from the counter.  Now try to open HEAD-B-CLEAR, but the child-proof lock has you beaten.  Use CHISEL with HEAD-B-CLEAR.  Pour HEAD-B-CLEAR into your drink on the counter.  Now drink the spiked drink.  Remember, the hangover cure causes severe drowsiness.  Now watch the amusing cut scene.  

 

 

 

 

INSIDE THE CRYPT

 

You wake up, locked in a coffin, inside a crypt.  Try to open coffin in the bottom right corner, only to find you’re trapped.  You’ve been locked in a coffin!  Well, Madame Xima did predict your death.  So did Voodoo Lady.  Use CHISEL with the coffin lid at the bottom right, to get out.  Notice the NAILS sticking out of your coffin - take the NAILS.  Now you’re out of the coffin, you hear a horrible pounding.  Look at coffin in middle of the room, and use CHISEL on coffin, to open the lid.  Say ‘Hi’ to Stan!  You locked him in this coffin in the last game.  He gives you a LAMINATED BUSINESS CARD, before telling you how to get out of the crypt.  He plans to start selling Life Insurance, but he needs time to get his office set up.  When you’re ready, leave the crypt. 

 

 

 

 

CEMETERY

 

Make your way up to the hotel. 

 

 

 

 

HOTEL

 

Outside the hotel, throw UN-MELTED HUNK OF NACHO CHEESE into cooking pot on the right.  Now that the lava is flowing again, the cheese quickly melts.  Pick up the COOKING POT.  You automatically drag it down to Haggis at the Shipwreck (it won‘t work, unless Haggis has already agrees to trade you the hand lotion for a tar-like substance). 

 

 

 

 

SHIPWRECK

 

Haggis accepts the melted cheese as a substitute for tar.  He can use it to repair the ship.  Pick up HAND LOTION next to Haggis.  Walk left to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go back to the Hotel. 

 

 

 

 

HOTEL

 

Enter the hotel. 

 

Griswold (the Bartender), and Madame Xima, don’t react to seeing you again, after your ‘death‘.  Talk to Griswold again, ask why you weren’t buried in Minnie Goodsoup’s crypt.  It seems, you don’t get access to the crypt, unless you are a Goodsoup.  So you’ll have to convince Griswold that you’re part of the Goodsoup clan.  Talk to Griswold again, and try to convince him you really are a Goodsoup - can’t he see the family resemblance?  He’ll test your knowledge of Goodsoup history, but of course, you fail!  Looks like you need to learn more about the family Goodsoup’s history then.  Climb up stairs on the left. 

 

Enter the far door, which is now unlocked. 

 

The bedroom is empty.  Look out the window, and note how it looks out over the cemetery.  Creepy!  Look at the bed, and pull down the bed.  But as soon as you move away from the bed, it flips up again.  Okay, pull down the bed, and use COFFIN NAILS in the bed to hold it down.  But that’s not quite enough, so use your other NAIL in the bed.  There!  The bed is nailed down.  Look at skeleton in the bed, and take BOOK from the skeleton.  Look at BOOK in your Inventory - it’s the GOODSOUP FAMILY HISTORY BOOK.  Just what you were needing.  Now leave the room. 

 

Climb back down the stairs. 

 

Talk to Griswold Goodsoup, and start talking about Goodsoup history.  He tests you again, but you can just refer to the GOODSOUP FAMILY HISTORY BOOK for the answers.  Now he finally accepts you as a true Goodsoup, and informs you that you’re entitled to all the privileges that the Goodsoup name provides.  That includes being buried in the Goodsoup family crypt if you die.  Time to put that to the test.  Talk to him again, and ask for a drink.  He gives you some grog.  Pour some HEAD-B-CLEAR into the grog on the counter, and drink the spiked grog.  Once again, you die.  But this time, you wake up in the Goodsoup family crypt. 

 

 

 

 

GOODSOUP FAMILY CRYPT

 

Look through crumbling hole in wall on the left.  Your head pops out into… Monkey Island 1!  Now walk left a few steps, and look at memorial plaque for Minnie Goodsoup.  Look at Ghost Bride, talk to Ghost Bride, and work through all the dialogue.  You learn her sad talk of how she was buried here 1 week after her wedding day.  You also learn that her true love - Charles DeGoulash - disappeared under mysterious circumstances, after staying at the hotel.  When conversation is over, walk left to the end of the crypt. 

 

Take CROWBAR from the coffin.  You hear a familiar voice muttering away.  Walk towards crack in the wall… and Murray leaps out at you.  Well… throws himself at you.  Pick up MURRAY.  Now look through crack in the wall, and see Mort the Gravedigger.  Talk to Mort and work through the dialogue.  Try to convince him to let you out of the crypt, but he thinks it’s just a joke.  Time for drastic action!  In your Inventory, use SKELETON ARM with the lantern under the cage.  You now have a LANTERN.  Now use MURRAY with the LANTERN.  Murray scares Mort, and convinces him to unlock the crypt.  Now walk right 2 screens, so you are out in the Cemetery. 

 

 

 

 

CEMETERY

 

Stan has set up his office now - Mutual Of Stan.  Walk right into the crypt \ Stan’s Office. 

 

Murray has a tantrum, forcing you to leave Stan’s office. 

 

Outside in the Cemetery, Murray disappears again.  Where did he go?  Well, you don’t have time to worry about that now.  Enter Stan’s office again. 

 

Talk to Stan and work through all the dialogue.  He won’t sell you life insurance without any collateral, so give him your GOLD PIRATE TOOTH.  He sells you the INSURANCE POLICY, and explains that, in the event of your death, the bearer of that document will get a lot of money.  Leave Stan’s office. 

 

Make your way up to the hotel. 

 

 

 

 

HOTEL

 

Enter the hotel. 

 

Go through door in the back wall, into the storage room. 

 

Look at file cabinet, and take DEATH CERTIFICATE from the file cabinet.  Look at DEATH CERTIFICATE in your Inventory - it certifies that [insert whatever name you chose earlier] met his demise here on Blood Island.  Now leave the storage room. 

 

Climb up stairs on the left. 

 

Enter the far room, where you nailed the bed down. 

 

In the bedroom, look at boarded hole above the bed.  Use CROWBAR with the boarded hole, to pry all the planks off.  Now use CROWBAR on the bed to pry the nails up.  The bed flips back up into the wall.  Watch the sweet cut scene with Minnie Goodsoup and Charles DeGoulash.  Reunited at last!  You automatically travel to the Goodsoup Family Crypt. 

 

 

 

 

GOODSOUP FAMILY CRYPT

 

Pick up ENGAGEMENT BAND from the floor.  Now that Minnie is marrying Charles, she doesn’t need this old engagement band anymore.  Now walk right, and leave the crypt.  Watch the cut scene with LeChuck. 

 

 

 

 

CEMETERY

 

Enter Stan’s office on the right. 

 

Talk to Stan and try to cash in your Life Insurance Policy.  Stan doesn’t believe you’re dead (well, can you blame him?), and demands proof.  Show him your DEATH CERTIFICATE.  Well, he has no choice now - he pays you a lot of INSURANCE MONEY.  When you’re ready, leave the crypt. 

 

Return to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to Windmill on the left. 

 

 

 

 

WINDMILL

 

Open the door and enter the windmill.  You automatically climb up to the top of the windmill.  On the roof, look at the barrel, and use EMPTY JAR on the barrel to get JAR OF SUGAR WATER.  Now climb down the windmill.  Return to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to Elaine’s Clearing, which is just to the left of the Shipwreck. 

 

 

 

 

ELAINE’S CLEARING

 

Place JAR OF SUGAR WATER down on the tree stump.  The fireflies are attracted to it, and fly in, creating a bright light.  In your Inventory, use CHISEL with the JAR LID, so the lid has holes in it.  Now place JAR LID onto the JAR OF FIREFLIES.  Thanks to the holes in the lid, and fireflies can still breath.  You automatically pick up the newly-created LANTERN.  Now return to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

 Go to the lighthouse at bottom of the map. 

 

 

 

 

LIGHTHOUSE

 

Look at the lens, and look at the lantern post.  This old lighthouse is badly in need of repairs.  Use your FIREFLIES LANTERN with the lantern post.  The lighthouse is working now.  Leave the lighthouse, and return to the Map Screen. 

 

 

 

 

MAP SCREEN

 

Go to the Beach. 

 

 

 

 

BEACH

 

You should see a Mysterious Figure in a boat.  This is the Ferryman.  Talk to Ferryman and work through all the dialogue.  He’s like to take you to Skull Island, but he’s afraid of getting lost in the mist, and he needs a compass.  Okay then, let’s make him a compass.  Use MEASURING CUP with the seawater.  Use PIN with the BIG WHOOP MAGNET, then use magnetised PIN with the CORK from CAPTAIN NICK’S SHAVING FOAM BOTTLE.  Finally, use CORK with pin, with the MEASURING CUP with seawater.  You’ve now created a COMPASS.  Give COMPASS to the Ferryman.  Now talk to the Ferryman again, and he’ll take you to Skull Island.

The Ferryman warns you about the evil King Andre, and Smuggler’s Cave, then you automatically climb to top of the cliff. 

 

 

 

 

CLIFFTOP

 

Talk to LaFoot, the winch operator, to learn that Smuggler’s Cove is about half-way down the cliff-face.  You ask LaFoot to lower you down the cliff-face, but he loses his grip, and you fall, very unceremoniously, back down to the pier. 

 

 

 

 

PIER

 

Climb back up to top of the cliff. 

 

 

 

 

CLIFFTOP

 

Talk to LaFoot again, and ask him to lower you down again.  But his time, as you are falling, use your UMBRELLA, and it acts as a parachute.  This time, you land safely in Smuggler’s Cove. 

 

 

 

 

SMUGGLER’S COVE

 

Work through all the dialogue with King Andre.  Make sure he knows how much money you’ve got.  He’ll agree to sell you the GOODSOUP FAMILY DIAMOND for AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY.  You only have A LOT OF MONEY - you don’t have enough.  So he suggests a trade instead - if you can defeat him in a game of cards, he’ll give you the GOODSOUP FAMILY DIAMOND.  He must be very sure of his skill in playing cards!  Ask to be dealt in, then work through all the dialogue.  When you’re able, show your 5 TAROT CARDS to King Andre, and win the round with your ‘Five Of A Kind‘.  However, King Andre and his goon don’t like being beaten, and they threaten to kill you.  Watch the cut scene, as you snatch the ENORMOUS DIAMOND, and escape from the cove.  The Ferryman takes you back to Blood Island.

The Ferryman decides he want’s a less dangerous line of work, and decides to leave, to become a chef on Monkey Island.  When you’re ready, make your way to the Map Screen.  Watch the cut scene with LeChuck.

Go to Elaine’s Clearing, which is just to the left of the Shipwreck. 

 

 

 

 

ELAINE’S CLEARING

 

Look at Elaine.  Try to pull the CURSED DIAMOND RING from her finger, but it’s stuck tight.  Use SLIPPERY GREASY HAND LOTION with the CURSED DIAMOND RING on Elaine‘s finger, then pull CURSED DIAMOND RING from Elaine’s finger.  This time, it slips off easily.  In your Inventory, place ENORMOUS DIAMOND into the ENGAGEMENT BAND to get DIAMOND RING.  Now place DIAMOND RING on Elaine’s finger. 

 

Well, it worked!  Elaine is un-cursed!  Now watch the cut scene, as LeChuck kidnaps both you, and Elaine, and drags you off to his Carnival Of The Damned.
