wtf thats a guide, im not reading that. i was thinking more of a hint...

Himu · « **Reply #61 on:** July 15, 2009, 08:28:32 PM »

Alight I'll write a hint then:

Treasure: treasure map from the guy with the coat

Idol: yellow flowers in the forest

demi · « **Reply #62 on:** July 15, 2009, 08:29:12 PM »

ok well i have the map, but i'll do the flowers real quick.

Himu · « **Reply #63 on:** July 15, 2009, 08:33:38 PM »

If you've got the map, read it and head to the forest. You'll figure it out.

My Steam download finally finished, let's see if I still remember how to beat this.

i got to part two. the whole melting cups thing was distinguished mentally-challenged. i bet that was a schafer puzzle.

demi · « **Reply #66 on:** July 16, 2009, 04:12:29 AM »

ok how do you use the cannon to go to monkey island. distinguished mentally-challenged fellow wont hop in.

Enl · « **Reply #67 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:24:40 AM »

I'm going to heat up this moment for you demi by doing some keggels.

demi · « **Reply #68 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:25:26 AM »

I got the gunpowder, and I put the wick in the cannon but I dont know what to light on fire. Or at least get a source of fire from the kitchen to wherever.

Enl · « **Reply #69 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:26:41 AM »

Don't forget to bring your helmet and we can blow this load.

Also please don't forget to dispose of that useless junk.

demi · « **Reply #70 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:29:34 AM »

I have the pot as well, and I dunno what the junk bit means, cause I made the stew.

demi · « **Reply #71 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:30:13 AM »

These hints really suck btw. I havent used the in-game one cause there is an achievement for not using it.

Enl · « **Reply #72 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:31:12 AM »

I am so going to light your shit on fire.

hmm...

Do you have a map?

demi · « **Reply #75 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:38:32 AM »

The monkey recipe and dance map, yeah

Himu · « **Reply #76 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:53:52 AM »

to get stan's card go to his place, say you're leaving and he'll give you his card.

demi · « **Reply #77 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:55:11 AM »

That would be great but I'm on a boat with dolphins flippin and shit

bork · « **Reply #78 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:55:40 AM »

Just for fun (there's no achievement for this AFAIK), you can blow up your ship when you're on Monkey Island using the cannon.

I was surprised that they left the LOOM-shilling pirate intact! Most people are probably not going to know what the hell he's talking about. It's funny how his description of the game's graphics still sounds like a game from today.

Himu · « **Reply #79 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:56:23 AM »

you don't need to burn stan's card if you don't have it.

did you get the recipe for the soup? go to the kitchen, open the cupboard, throw in the cereal and every single thing you have on that list and then some. If you can put it in the pot, put it in the pot. mint leafs = grogo'mints. ;etc. make up for what you don't have. worst part of the game.

demi · « **Reply #80 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:57:49 AM »

OMG I JUST SAID I DID THAT

Here's where we are

* I'm on a boat
* I do not have Stan's card - YES HE GAVE ME HIS CARD BUT IT DISAPPEARED IN ACT 2
* I made the stew
* I need to use the cannon somehow
* I have the pot
* I have the gunpowder, and used it on the cannon
* I put the string in the cannon
* HOW DO I LIGHT THE FUSE, OR EVEN PUT GUYBRUSH IN THE CANNON

Himu · « **Reply #81 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:03:14 AM »

put the fuse in the cannon, burn the map you got from melee with the fire.

Light the fire, put on the helmet and voila.

demi · « **Reply #82 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:08:09 AM »

FINALLY

What a backasswords puzzle

Probably one designed by Tim Schafer

Himu · « **Reply #83 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:09:36 AM »

Part 2 sucks balls

Enl · « **Reply #84 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:38:00 AM »

I wonder if the game breaking glitch is still in Part 3.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The one where if the monkey ends up following you to a part of the island he's not supposed to be in. If that happens he's stuck and you're screwed out of finishing a puzzle.

demi · « **Reply #85 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:57:07 AM »

I dunno, I'm stuck again. I walked everywhere and nothing says "I AM SOLUTION"

UGhhhhhhhh this game is so balls.

Himu · « **Reply #86 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:58:49 AM »

go to the far west part of the island and you'll find a fort if you'll look hard enough. It takes forever to find it. It's in the mountain region part of that zone of the map.

demi · « **Reply #87 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:59:48 AM »

I wouldnt doubt if I skipped something, the hotspots on the map are like pixels... w/e i'll worry about it later today

Monkey Island for $5

Well, I still haven't received my code and was getting worried that I was ripped off, so I sent the following message to the seller:"I still haven't received my download code for Monkey Island. I would appreciate it if you could please update me on the status of this transaction. Thank you"

So I get his reply:"Do not send me a message threatening me or demanding your code, as the item descripition says you have up to 3 days to receive your code, so be patient, Thank you."

Dude completely flew off the handle. I wouldn't purchase from this guy if you can help it

You have to take the monkey to the clearing where the giant monkey-head is and get him to pull the totem's nose.

Once you do this you can go next to the giant monkey-head. Among the gravestone like idols, there is one that is quite small. Pick this up and give it to the cannibals.

For some reason the monkey wouldnt follow me in the remake version, he would just walk back to the start. But when I switched to classic, he followed just fine. Does it depend on how many bananas I feed him?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #100 on:** July 17, 2009, 04:52:06 PM »

I think you have to feed him three bananas to get to him to follow you.

Go back and talk to the cannibals, they will give you something that will help you navigate the random caves.

Having to backtrack alot is one of the game's most annoying aspects.

I'm pretty sure it's 5. In the new one at least.

Enl · « **Reply #106 on:** July 17, 2009, 06:16:02 PM »

We played it during a different time so our expectations when we first played it were different. Plus the remake changes a lot of the game's original mood and the interface, especially with a controller, is clunky as hell. With the mouse it was easier to quickly experiment with the objects. And the game really isn't that hard. It's actually one of the easier adventure games out there. I was half your age when I beat it and only had to get help once due was due to that glitch I mentioned earlier.

demi · « **Reply #107 on:** July 17, 2009, 06:35:38 PM »

pour the liquor in the rats plate. Then walk past them and pick up some of the grease.

there's another floor below the pigs and chickens.

I think it says the compass is magnetic when you look at it.

Enl · « **Reply #117 on:** July 18, 2009, 01:02:56 AM »

Nice.

Shame you didn't like it. You might want to stay away from the sequel if it ever gets remade. The tone and humor is darker and more twisted, but if you thought the puzzles were aggravating and nonsensical in this one then you'll absolutely despise the second.

I was never a huge fan of Monkey Island 1, and this SE didn't really do much for me. I was playing this and Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun, and after a few hours of SoMI, I went back to Evil Under the Sun. It wasn't a great game, but it was more fun than this.
