The Curse of Monkey Island - Mega Monkey Walkthrough

By Axxxel

Welcome to my "The Curse of Monkey Island - Mega Monkey" Walkthrough! This is the 3rd part of Guybrush Threepwood's adventure and my personal favorite! I will try to make this guide as brief as possible, meaning that i will mainly focus on game progress rather than providing information and details about this great game itself. Don't get frustrated when you see so many bulletpoints for each chapter, as it's a matter of seconds to complete each one. I hope you will enjoy it as much as i did! If you liked this guide, rate it up and add it in your favorites! Also feel free to leave feedback in the comment section below for possible mistakes or suggestions. Have fun!

Comments

Part I: The demise of the zombie pirate LeChuck

Talk to Wally (kid pirate).
Choose answers that indicate he is not made for a pirate. He'll eventually start crying.
Pick up the plastic hook
Pick up the ramrod (wall)
Use the cannon and shoot at the 4 boats.
Combine the plastic hook with the ramrod to make a gaff
Go outside the window and use the gaff on the debris (yellow armband) to pick up the skeleton arm and the cutlass
Go back inside and use the cutlass with the cannon restraint rope
Fire the canon
Pick up the bag (in front of you, a few steps away)
Pick up the ring (it was under the bag)
Use the ring with the porthole (round window).

Part II: The curse gets worse

Pick up the glowing ember (to your right)
Walk to the right until you find a path that takes you to the island's map.
Go to the middle, where the shipwreck is (Swamp - location names will be revealed after you visit them).
Enter the ship to trigger a conversation with Murray
End the conversation and enter the ship.
Pick up the paste and the pin (both in front of you on the floor)
Open your inventory and use the bag of nickels with the gumball machine (left) to pick up a pack of gum
Pull the alligator tongue
Talk to the Voodoo priestess until Guybrush goes to the beach and returns.
End the dialogue after choosing any options that you see fit (or fun!) and go back to the island's map
Go to the town (Puerto Pollo) entering from the bottom left side (harbor)
Talk to the small pirate (Kenny Falmouth) and buy a lemonade (best "policy" ever!)
Walk to the right, past the bridge and enter the theater from the side-door on the left (tall building with a clock, which by the way is showing your local time, based on your PC's clock!)
Look at the pirate coat
Pick up the dandruff (which turns out to be lice)
Open the pocket of the coat and pick up the glove
Pick up the magic wand (table) and use it on the magic hat
Pick up the book
Exit the theater and go to the Barbery Coast (bottom right, docks)
When the barber pirate (Haggis McMutton) leaves his comb on the table, quickly combine it with the lice from your inventory
Ask Haggis for a haircut and use the handle
Pick up the paperweight and Haggis leaves, use the handle again, 3 times
Pick up the scissors
Talk to the salty pirate (Cutthroat Bill). End the conversation and push him. Then push him again.
Pick up the jawbreaker
Leave the Barbery Coast and head back towards Kenny Falmouth. Before you reach him, you'll see a wooden house (it's a restaurant called Blondebeard's Chicken Shoppe). On its left side, use the scissors to the mysterious flowers (you now have an ipecac flower)
Use the scissors with the remaining undergrowth
Walk forward. After you get swallowed by the snake, pick up the Faberge egg, the vacuum cleaner attachments and the lots-o-stuff
Combine the ipecac flower with the pancake syrup
Use the syrup of ipecac with the snake head
Pick up the reeds (right) and the thorn form the thorn plant
Combine the helium balloon with the paperweight
Blow on the floating balloon
Combine the thorn with the hollow reed and make a pea shooter
Use the pea shooter with the floating balloon
Exit Danjer Cove and go to Puerto Pollo and Blondebeard's Chicken Shoppe
You can freely enter because you have a reservation slip, found in the snake's belly.
Pick up a tasty, buttery biscuit and then eat it
Use the maggots on the gross chicken and pick up the club card
Push the quiet patron and pick up the serrated breadknife
Pick up the biscuit cutter and the pie pan
Give the jawbreaker to Captain Blondebeard and then give him the pack of gum
When he makes a bubble use the pin on it and pick up the gold tooth
Select "chew" on pack of gum and combine chewed gum with gold tooth
Select "inhale" on helium balloon and then "chew" on tooth on gum
Exit the restaurant and use the pie pan with the mudpuddle to get the gold tooth
Walk past the theater to the right under the arch
At the field, walk towards the grassy knoll and use the serrated breadknife on the sawhorse
Use the ember on stick with the trail of rum
Go to the Barbery Coast and talk to Cutthroat Bill. Go through the conversation options until he asks for proof that you can actually find real treasure. End the conversation and use the gold tooth on him
Ask Haggis to join your crew. Accept his caber toss challenge, which you will easlily win
Talk to the dapper pirate (Edward VanHelgen) and ask him to join your crew. When he tells you about the gentlemen's duel end the conversation and insult him by using the glove on him
Close the middle box lid and open the banjo case
The banjo duel works simply: when Edward starts playing, he occasionally plays a single string. You have to memorize the sequennce of the single strings and play them when it's your turn. I numbered the strings from top to bottom from 1 to 5, so i kept in mind the sequence i.e. like this, 2-3-1-5. You have to play correct 3 sequences to proceed.
When he starts playing fast behind his head go to the gun pile and pick up the pistol
Shoot him when he plays the banjo in front of his chest
After the cutscene, go back to the field where you had the duel. Use the biscuit cutter to the rubber tree (next to the one you blew up!)
Go to Danjer Cove
In your inventory, use the paste with the rubber plug and then use that with the boat's gaping hole
Use the boat and go to the pirate ship. Use the serrated breadknife with the plank and climb up the ship
After you get tarred and feathered go back to Blondebeard's Chicken Shoppe in Puero Pollo
Use the book (inventory) with Captain LeChimp
Open the porthole and exit. Go to the theater in Puerto Pollo and go up the stairs
Use the handle and press the buttons with the following sequence: bottom-right, top-left, middle-left, bottom-middle, middle-right, top-right two times, middle-right, bottom-left. An "X" should appear on the stage if you did it correct
Use the chicken grease with the cannonballs
On the stage, use the shovel
Exit the ship. Then use the boat to go to the beach and from there to the island's map and the east part of the island (Cabana)
Give the club card to the cabana boy
Pick up a towel and combine it with the ice bucket then use it on the cabana boy
Pick up the cooking oil, two more towels and put them into the ice bucket
Walk towards the beach and use the wet towels on the hot sand
Pick up the mug (talk to the guy if you want, it's optional), open the gate and go to Kenny in Puerto Pollo
Use the mug with the bottomless mug and buy a lemonade
Pick up the pitcher and use it with the dye vat (to the right)
Go to Brimstone Beach and use the bottomless mug on the sunbather
Use the pitcher with red dye with the bottomless mug
Use the cooking oil with the map and pick it up. Exit the beach

Part III: Three sheets to the wind

In order to interrupt the rhyming song, go through the dialogue options until you see the line "We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange" and select it
Select the "I think i'll let you guys help me out" line to have easier sea combats
Look at the navigational chart
Now you there is a patern that you must repeat a few times. A) You must defeat other ships B) win the insult duel with each pirate C) Spend the treasure you've just earned at Kenny's new shop, buying an upgrated cannon. You must repeat that until you're ready to face Captain Rottingham. Let's see each part seperately.
A)That part is really easy since you've chosen easier sea combats earlier. One shot (right click) will defeat the enemy ship (considering you upgrade your cannons after every win) and allow you to proceed to step B) insult duel. Note that if you lose the insult duel, you won't have to defeat the same ship again, just click on it when you see it on the map
B)To win the insult duel is a matter of trial and error. When an enemy pirate is throwing you a new insult, you automaticaly memorize it. Use it next time you encounter a pirate and learn the appropriate answer. Losing duels and repeating will eventually provide you with all the insults and insult answers you need to beat Captain Rottingham
C)DON'T forget to spend your treasure at Kenny's new shop, buying new cannons every time you win an insult duel
When you are ready to fight Captain Rottingham (after you have purchased all the available cannon upgrades), note that he uses different insults but the answers you need to use are the ones you've learned. Check the following dialogues if you have trouble matching them
My attacks have left entire islands depopulated! - With your breath, I'm sure they all suffocated.
You have the sex appeal of a shar-pei! - I look that much like your fiancee?
Never before have I faced someone so sissified! - Is that your face? I thought it was your backside.
Your lips look like they belong on the catch of the day! - When I'm done with you, you'll be a boneless filet.
I give you a choice. You can be gutted, or decapitated! - With you around, I'd rather be fumigated.
You're a disgrace to your species, you're so undignified! - At least mine can be identified.
Nothing can stop me from blowing you away! - I could, if you would use some breath spray.
I have never lost a melee! - You would have, but you were always running away.
Your mother wears a toupee! - Oh, that is so cliche.
Your looks would make pigs nauseated! - If you don't count all the ones you've dated.
When I'm done, your body will be rotted and putrefied! - Then killing you must be justifiable fungicide.
My skills with a sword are highly venerated! - Too bad they're all fabricated.
Your stench would make an outhouse cleaner irritated! - Then perhaps you should switch to decaffeinated.
I can't tell which of my traits have you the most intimidated! - Your odor alone makes me aggravated, agitated, and infuriated
Nothing on this earth can save your sorry hide! - The only way you'll be preserved is in formaldehyde
You'll find I'm dogged and relentless to my prey! - Then be a good dog, Sit! Stay!

I figured it out and you're only half right.

This game, Full Throttle, and probably one or two other games featured a hovering picture menu. In order to get it come up on this you need to hold in the left mouse button while touching something. While you're holding the button a menu will come up showing the interaction commands. The menu in this game is in the shape of coin and it might take a second to figure out because I can't think of any other system that uses a hold-click and drag for the commands.

Axxxel [author] 3 Jan, 2021 @ 5:36am

@Fozzforus

It's a point-and-click game so simply put the cursor over an item/character that you want to interact with and by clicking you can chose an action. Sometimes you will have to open your inventory to use/combine an item that you possess. That's all

Happy new year

Fozzforus 2 Jan, 2021 @ 9:37am

Can someone please make a guide showing the basic controls? I don't understand how to do anything in this game.

Axxxel [author] 30 Dec, 2020 @ 10:47am

@saulgoodman90

Greetings Luigi! Did you try doing Haggis' sequence first (comb with lice, chair etc) to make him leave the shop and then try Bill? Let me know if it worked.

Best wishes and much love to Italy

Stay safe

saulgoodman90 30 Dec, 2020 @ 9:15am

Hello to all the community; I write from Italy, so I apologize in advance for my english.

I'm stuck at one point (playing the easy mode: yes, I'm a noob, but this game reminds me of my childhood) and I'm breaking my head trying to understand what to do: in chapter two, I'm at the barber shop in Puerto Pollo, and I already beat Edward at playing banjo (and I already have the map).
I know I should push Cutthroat Bill in order to make him spit the jawbreaker, but Guybrush doesn't want to push him.
What should have I missed?

Thank to you all and stay safe

Luigi
