Part I: The Demise of the Zombie Pirate LeChuck
First talk to Wally and make him cry. You must convince him that he is no good as a pirate. Cite such things as his lack of a real beard and how small he is. When he threatens to shoot you call his bluff, he will break down and cry. Poor little guy. Then use the cannon and shoot all of LeChuck's zombie pirates in the water. Then look out the porthole. Grab the floating arm with the ramrod and the hook from Wally. You can talk to Murray, one of the more amusing parts of the game. Then after you leave Murray (I suggest knocking him into the water with the ramrod), go and use the cutlass from the skeleton arm with the cannon restrant rope. After you have cut it use the cannon again to escape the cell. Once you are in the treasure hold pick up the bag of wooden nickels (what a treaseure!) pick up the ring you find under the nickels. Use the ring on the porthole on your right. You will float up with the assistance of the inflatable sea horse and swim to the shore.
You swim to the beach, meeting Elaine, and placing the ring on her. She will turn to solid gold just before trying to knock your lights off.
Collect a glowing ember from the shore and leave the beach.
Go to the swamp where a Voodoo Priestess lives (This Voodoo isn't made by 3Dfx).
There you will discover Murray, talk to him for a few minutes. It is quite amusing.
Go inside, pull the alligator's tongue, the priestess will pop up and talk to her, she will give you some very useful information (such as that Elaine has now been taken away by pirates).
Once you have said everything that needs to be said, say good-bye and she will disappear.
Take the wooden nickels you earlier got from the ship and use them on the gum machine to get a pack of gum.
After getting the gum, pick up the Voodoo Doll on the floor. Use the pin and poke it a couple of times, then take the pin. After getting all this stuff leave the swamp.
After leaving the swamp go into town via the east entrance (next to the bridge) and go into the restaurant.
In there you will be told that you need a reservation to sit down in there. Steal a biscuit for fun.
Now go to the theatre (across the bridge) though the side door.
Once inside look at the pirate jacket on the rack, you will notice some dandruff looking substance on the shoulder, examine it more closely.
After examing and picking up the dandruff-esque material on the shoulder, reach into the pocket and get the glove.
Pick up the wand off the desk and wave it over the top hat sitting on the desk, a ventriloquist's book will pop up. Take it.
Look at the travel chest in the corner, taking note of the Blood Island sticker on it.
Go on stage and talk to the director. He will give you some information on Blood Island, and that Palido Domingo could give you some help to get there.
After leaving the theatre, you have to go down the stairs to the barber shop on the pier. Once there talk to all 4 pirates in the shop and they will give you information about how to convince them to join your crew to go to Blood Island. Haggis will require you to beat him in a caber toss, VanHalgen will require you to beat him in a duel, and Cutthroat Bill wants you to show him some gold.
After talking to them pick up the jawbreaker from the floor. (Mega Monkey players should note that to get the jawbreaker you have to hit the pirate in the top corner twice. Hitting him once will make him turn an amusing shade of purple.)
Once you have gotten the jawbreaker, take the dandruff you collected (after you inspected it more closely you have determined that it is lice) and place it on the comb resting on the table. When Haggis uses the comb on Rottingham, he will run out yelling. You may now sit down in the chair to get a haircut from Haggis.
Pick up the paperweight and Haggis will leave the room to find another one. When he does use the lever of the chair to lift yourself to the roof and collect the scissors. When Haggis comes back decline a haircut, and get out of the chair.
Then go over the VanHalgen and slap him with the glove. He will then accept that as a challenge.
When you are to choose your weapon close the lid of the middle box, and select the banjo.
After repeating all of the individual notes played by VanHalgen, you walk back over to the gun pile and pick up a gun. You then proceed to shoot VanHalgen's banjo at which time he will agree to join your crew.
Go to the overgrown trail and pick the flower, which you will learn is an Ipecac flower. This is beside Kenny's lemonade stand. After hacking your way through with the scissors, you will end up on a cliff. Go and pick up one of the objects on the cliff edge, you won't be able to because a snake will eat you (Don't worry this is a good thing).
Once inside the snake, you can pick up a whole load of stuff. Once you have all the stuff in the snake you will now have to find a way out. Combine the Ipecac flower with the syrup and feed it to the snake. It will get sick and spit you out into a swamp near Danjer Cove.
Now no longer stuck inside the snake, you are stuck in quicksand. Take the paperweight and combine it with a balloon. Once it is floating there blow it and it will stop over the vine, which is your means of escape. Now get a thorn from the plant on your left and a reed from the plant on the right, combine them to make a pea-shooter. Then use the pea shooter on the balloon-paperweight combo, it will knock the vine free and you are free.
Go back to the restaurant and show Blondebeard your reservation card, he will now let you in. Offer him the jawbreaker and some gum. He will knock his tooth loose, then he will blow a bubble where the tooth is in the middle of the bubble. Use the pin, which you got from the Voodoo Doll, and pop the bubble. Collect the tooth.
Walk over the dead patron sitting at the table, try to talk to him, then push him over. Collect the serrated bread knife and the card inside the chicken, after later inspection this card appears to be a membership to the beachclub.
Leave the restaurant and go up to the grassy knoll at which you had the banjo duel. Use the serrated bread knife on the sawhorse which is supporting the keg of rum. Then use the glowing ember on the trail of rum, an explosion will follow and you will end up with a rubber caber.
Now go to the barber shop and show Cutthroat Bill Blondebeard's gold tooth. Next challenge Haggis to a caber toss which you will easily win with your rubber caber. Now you have a full crew, time to get a map.
Go over to the beach club and torment that annoying little cabana boy for a bit. Once you are tired of him show him your membership card, grab a towel, wet it in the ice bucket, and whip him with it. A most enjoyable experience.
Once he is gone take his oil and 3 more towels. Once you have the 3 towels dip all 3 in the ice bucket. Head out onto the beach, where you will find that the sand is extremely hot. You can't walk across it and this is where the wet towels come in handy. Lay them out on the sand and walk across them, after you are across they will burst into flame and be gone.
You are now beside Palido Domingo, you talk to him for a bit and discover that the map is tattooed onto his back. You have to get him to turn over, but he won't until he belives he is tanned.
