    Use the
    fish you've catched earlier
    with the
    stew
    he will be distracted by the
    smell of it.

    This was so obvious how could you missed it?

    But i can't get the
    lid
    off the
    stew pot
    because I used my only
    screwdriver
    on the
    howling monkey talisman
    .

    Argh!

    have you tried to use the
    monkey
    with the lid? If you don't have it in your inventory go to
    the banana tree and use the
    monkey lure flute
    .

    It should open otherwise you should contact Telltale Support service....

    File transfer is still going. They should make USB sticks faster.

    You need to use the usb stick with the packet of parrot seed. Then use that with Herman Toothrot and a long and complex cutscene will ensure. You might want to look away if you have a fear of either gambling manatees or yachting dolphins. At the end of it, your usb stick will be replaced in your inventory by the 'super deluxe usb zoom stick 3000'.

    Nah that doesn't work. You just use the usb stick with the parrot, and then put it in the computer to read it's mind.

    This chapter is like Monkey Island 5 all over again!

    How do I get past the
    exceedingly hairy gorilla
    ? I assume it's something to do with the hair removal cream I stole from Elaine's cabin, but can't figure it out.

    Have you found the
    blunderbuss
    yet? You need to
    put the cream in it
    and then fire it. If you can't do that, you first need to
    pick some black pepper from the plant by the cave and use it as gunpowder
    .

    I am Stuck :(

    I have used
    davy jones pan flute
    to
    lure the very confused seahorse
    out of
    its
    lair
    . I went back to
    the beach
    and
    dried the seahorse
    in the
    sun
    on the
    familiar looking skull
    . Now i am at the
    ridiculously wobbly raft
    and tried to
    unlock the treasure chest
    using the
    seahorse
    as a
    key
    , but the
    lock is jammed
    . How can i
    open the chest
    ?

    Nooooo, looks like i played the

    .
    Damn, no i've fallen in love with the idea! :D

    Man you got it all backwards:
    You need to
    use the treasure chest on the dried seahorse to rip it apart
    , if you do that you'll get the
    ruby-red chest key, just examine the seahorse remains
    Now for the tricky part, you need to
    use the mysteriously odorless voodoo potion all over the chest but without using it all. Unfortunately if you miss a spot you'll end in the water due to the smelly gas that will get out of the chest

    All right, Elaine has kidnapped me and LeChuck is trying to give me the key to prison, but I can't reach it because Guybrush is tied up. What should I do next?

    Sheesh... all you have to do is
    walk right instead of left
    at the beginning of the episode.

    So
    right was right and left was wrong
    ? In other words, you should have
    left to the right
    ?

    In SQ4 there's a hint book you have to buy in the game to solve certain puzzles. But since you don't actually play any of SQ4 in the game (but rather SQ1, SQ3, SQ10, and SQ12 because you're time travelling) most everything in the hint book is useless information.

    If you knew that I'm not sure what you mean by your post...

    I'm currently playing as a Spitmaster, and he is cool but his special powers SUCKS! I hope it gets better once i reach next level and gain more XP.

    By the way, which one you think is better - Stan's Previously Owned Rusty Sword +1 or LeChimp's Sturdy Axe of Hot Monkey Vengeance?

    Yeah, but it t only works after you
    fix the broken conveyor
    in the
    stripper factory
    using the
    Spanner K
    because
    A-J don't fit

    Something really awful has happened :(
    I was trying to
    convince the Priest
    that I had not
    stolen the Sacred Bandana Of Celton
    , when a
    mob of angry drunken pirates
    stormed the
    chapel
    and
    chained me upside down to the wall
    without
    a fair trial
    .
    Now i have
    lost my whole inventory
    , it is
    dark, cold and moldy in here
    and the
    guard is cursing at me
    .

    How do i get out of this mess?

    Well, first you have to
    exit to desktop
    then
    rename
    your
    .sav file
    using
    explorer
    to
    complete.sav
    it may be unorthodox but it is
    the only way
    to get
    past
    that
    part

    Piece of cake man, you'll have to
    trick the guard. I won't give you the correct sequence though, just keep trying (you'll get a few funny lines along the way) Eventually he'll release you and give you a Lost&Found claim ticket

    Then you have to go to the
    Lost&Found Tent
    . Give the
    Claim ticket to the guy over there and you'll get your inventory back

    Warning! due to a programming bug you may lose some items if you pick up items before getting your inventory back.

    Have you seen the awesome easter-egg? You have to push the tree on the beach a few times, and a coconut should fall on Guybrushs Head. Then he wakes up in the castle of LeChuck, back in »Monkey Island 2«, realizing that he STILL is under the spell of Big Whoop, when LeChuck notices him and punches Guybrush back to sleep. And he wakes up, on the beach again, thinking it was a dream.

    Hilarious! Ha ha! … No, seriously, it was very scary, and an interesting plot-twist…

    I'm stuck on the easter egg. How do you unwrap the foil?
