WALKTRHOUGH
*This is the walkthrough section. This game, is rather interesting in that you don't have to do things in the order
of the way I wrote them down, this is just the order I put them in.* 

PART ONE: GETTING INTO THE STORAGE ROOM
Okay, watch the intro. Once inside the motel, talk to the receptionist. Ask for the room, and tell give her you
money. Once you get the room, talk to her again to get the LOCKPICK. Now you can explore the hotel if you want,
ofcourse I'm sure you've already explored if your reading this. Now go to the entertainment room.

In the entertainment room, look at the bowl the goon has (it's hard to see, so you might have a bit of pixel 
hunting to do). Once you realize that there is BONZO in the bowl, ask the goon about it. He'll ask you for a 
sandwhich in return if you pester him enough. So now it's time to make a sandwhich.

Go to the kitchen. When you reach the kitchen, open the cabinet. Pickup the BREAD SLICES and a KNIFE. Now open the
refrigerator and pickup the LETTUCE, EGG, and ONION. Leave the kitchen, and outside pickup the CAT FOOD from the 
trash. Head for the pier. On your way though, get the JAR from beside the pool.

At the Pier, get the VINEGAR, OIL, and lookat the barrel. The fisherman will tell you that there is BADGER MEAT in 
the barrel. Now you can take some BADGER MEAT. Use the BADGER MEAT on the BREAD to make a BADGER SANDWHICH. Bring 
the BADGER SANDWHICH to the Goon, and he'll tell you that it's not a sandwhich without lettuce. Use the LETTUCE on 
the BADGER SANDWHICH. Use the SANDWHICH on the goon again and he'll tell you it needs MAYO. Now let's travel up to 
your room.

Use the LOCKPICK to open your door and enter. Pickup the SALT, PEPPER, and MUSTARD. Use the EGG, SALT, PEPPER, 
VINEGAR, OIL, and MUSTARD on the blender. Use the blender. Use the JAR on the blender. Use JAR OF MAYO on the 
BADGER SANDWHICH. Give it to the Goon, and he'll tell you it still needs ONIONS. So put them on. Now we have a 
complete BADGER SANDWHICH, yay. Give him the finished SANDWHICH and you'll get some BONZO.

Go to the storage room. Look at the dog bowl and discuss the contents of it with the dog. Now put the BONZO in the 
CAT FOOD (Kids, don't try this). Use the BONZO + CAT FOOD on the bowl. Now that the dog's asleep, we have access 
to the storage room. YAY!


PART TWO: RIDING ONE'S SELF OF A GOON
Now, go into the storage room and grab a MATCH and the PUMPKIN. Use the KNIFE on the PUMPKIN to get a SCARY 
PUMPKIN. Now get an item from the box 'o stuff. Keep returning the item until you get the CANDLE. Use the MATCH on 
the CANDLE, then use the CANDLE on the SCARY PUMPKIN.

Go to the entertainment room and push the vase. Use the light switch and use the SCARY PUMPKIN on the Goon. Now 
he's gone.


PART THREE: I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING WHITTY TO SAY ABOUT THE CRUISE
Okay, go to the lounge and push the magnet on the announcement board. Go to the bar and challenge the bartender to 
a game of darts. He'll miss then give you the DART. Talk to him and tell him you hear your wife calling you. Go to 
the lounge and pull the magnet back into place. Go to the bar and use the DART on the dartboard. Once it hits dead 
on, you can get the prize.

Open the WINE and you'll find out it's just ENGINE OIL. Talk to the bartender and tell him you want to complain 
about the prize. He'll give you the TICKET. Now go to the pier and give the TICKET to the booth lady. Board the 
cruise ship.

Once aboard, go to the gift shop. Lookat the picture to find out that you want to be the captain. Pickup or look 
at the GLASS EYE to get it. Talk to the shop owner and say good-bye.  He'll ask you to shake, and give you his 
fake HOOK. Talk to him again and tell him you want to be a pirate. Keep talking to him about being a pirate until 
he gives in and gives you GLUE. Now go below decks to your room. Use you HOOK on the hammock to get a BANDANA. 
Take the GOLD RUNG. Now open the closet and get the UNIFORM. Use the UNIFORM adn you will now change into the 
captain.

As the captain, go upstairs to the navigator. Pickup the BINOCULARS and open them to get the MAGNIFYING GLASS. Now 
give the BINOCULARS back to the navigator. Go back below decks and put HERMEN'S CLOTHES back on (use them). As 
Hermen, go back to the navigator and tell him you want to go back. Now you're done with the cruise.


PART FOUR: MAKING AN ENTRANCE TO THE BASEMENT (OR KILLING THE FAT ANNOYING GUY)
First thing to do when you get back is go to your room. Pickup the GUM and use the phone to call the Receptionist 
in. When she enters, leave the room and close the door. She'll be angry that's she's locked in the room, but 
ignore her and go down to the lobby. Pickup the BELL. Now go to the pool. Use GUM so you get the CHEWED GUM. Use 
the CHEWED GUM on the lever of the pump. Now go back to the lounge and use the couch. You should now have the 
NEEDLE in your possesion. While your here, pickup the GUITAR while your at it. Use the GUITAR and Herman will sing 
a lovely blues song and break a STRING. Now go to the storage room and go through the whole box 'o stuff cycle 
until you get a TUBE. Pickup another MATCH too.

Before heading back to the pool, go outside the front of the mansion through the lobby and lookat the cannon to 
get some GUNPOWDER. Go to the pool and use the NEEDLE on the fat annoying guy's float. The guy will start to drown 
and the Lifeguard will drain the pool. He'll try to fill it up again, but won't be able to because of the GUN on 
the lever. Now go into the pool to the bulge. Use the GUNPOWDER on the TUBE. Then use the STRING on the EXPLOSIVE 
TUBE to get HOMEMADE TNT. Use this HOMEMADE TNT on the bulge. Herman will warn the lifeguard and the annoying guy 
to get away. The annoying guy won't listen, and Herman runs away to the beach. After the explosion, return to the 
pool and you now have a nice hole to the basement.


PART FIVE: THE ROSETTA STONES
Now we have a hole, you can go downstairs, but first head up to your room. In you room, use the phone to call the 
receptionist. When she comes into the room, leave and close the door. She'll be locked in your room now. Go down 
to the lobby and pickup the BELL. Pickup the RIDE PAMPHLET too and look at it to get the FREE TICKET. Now go down 
the hole in the pool. Go to the room with the desk and pickup the REMOTE CONTROL. Open the drawer to get the DIARY.
 Open the trunk too and get the SCROLL. Now head on over the the Middle of the Earth Ride.

Talk to the operator about to find out the whereabouts of a map to treasure, then give him your free ticket to go 
to the Middle of the Earth. When you reach the Middle of the Earth, use the BELL to have the elevator rise up again
without you. Underneath where the elevator was is the first piece of the ROSETTA'S STONE. Pick it up and use the 
BELL again to get the elevator back. Use the Elevator to go back to underneath the mansion. From here, head up to 
the surface again.

PART SIX: LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT
Go to the entertainment room. Pickup a SHARD and use the REMOTE and type in 73. Lookat the screen to learn what 
your next objective is. Now head over to the lounge area (the one with Roy's head on the wall). Use the SHARD on 
the WALLPAPER under Roy's head. Go to the storage room next and pickup the SQUID FOOD out of the box o' stuff. 
Head to the fisherman's hut and use the SQUID FOOD on BUCKET O' BADGER. Go back to the Fisherman's hut and get the 
FISHING POLE. Go back to the storage room and get the MAGNET out of the box o' stuff and get the SLEDGE HAMMER 
too. Go out to the front of the mansion and lookat the cannon to get some more GUNPOWDER. Use the GUNPOWDER on the 
ENGINE OIL. Now to give the Cook a little surprise.

Go to the bar, on your way to the kitchen, lookat the windows. Use the MAGNET on the FISHING POLE. Use the MAGNET 
ON THE FISHING POLE on the bush to get the WEIGHT. Now head to the kitchen and give the SPIKED ENGINE OIL to the 
cook. After the stew explodes, Open the MAGNET ON THE FISHING POLE to get the MAGNET back. Now use the MAGNET on 
the floor to find the tile the gambler dropped his coin in. Once you've done this, use the SLEDGE HAMMER on the 
tile and pickup the COIN. Go to the casino and use the COIN on the gambler. He'll win all his money back (how does 
he transfer the coins for money?) and leave you the PAY PHONE DIME. Go up to your room and use the PAY PHONE DIME 
on the payphone. You'll call up the Win a Shovel hotline and win a shovel. Also, while your here, use the 
WALLPAPER on the MIRROR to find the map.

PART SEVEN: LOOK BEHIND YOU, A THREE HEADED MONKEY!
Head down to the Lobby and ask the receptionist for your package. You will get the SHOVEL. While in the lobby, put 
the WEIGHT on the tray the Badger holds. Now go to the beach. This was a tough part, because you have to actually 
locate the X-MARKS THE SPOT yourself. It's located to the right of the Pool by Guybrush. Use the SHOVEL on it to 
find the second piece of the ROSETTA STONE. Use both pieces to learn the code. Now use the MAGNIFYING GLASS on the 
SCROLL to read the message. Head down to the machine room, and into the room with the huge vault. Talk to the ear 
and type in "athreeheadedmonkey". Congradulations, you beat the game.

Hope yo enjoyed playing, now enjoy the ending Roy made that ties two great Lucas Arts games together. After the 
credits, also enjoy the little remembrance of the credits for Monkey Island I.
