(The solution to this puzzle is incredibly obvious, once you think about it.) This is also the only spot you can truly die – Guybrush can hold his breath for ten minutes, after all, but any more and he actually drowns, turning green and changing the verb menu into various morbid actions like “Bloat”, “Rot” and “Order Hint Book”. You’re surrounded by half a dozen different sharp objects, each of which could cut the rope, but, ironically, they’re all out of reach.

Here, you’re always on the defensive, plus the Sword Master has a totally new slew of insults. Once you’ve reached this level, you need to fight the Sword Master, where things work a bit differently. Learning these insults and comebacks does not come naturally – instead, you need to repeatedly fight pirates around the island to learn new phrases, until you’ve built up a fairly comprehensive library of knowledge. Insult: I’m not going to take your insolence sitting down!Ĭomeback: Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?Ĭomeback: You make me think somebody already did.Īnd so forth. For example, the following is a proper insult/comeback pairing:Ĭomeback: How appropriate. Get it wrong, and you’ll be put on the defensive. If you choose wisely, you’ll gain an advantage.

The other big change from standard adventure gaming is that it’s impossible to get stuck or get killed, except for a few small instances where you really need to go out of your way to do it. This is the key element of many of the Monkey Island games – having multiple goals at once that can be conquered in any order, so a player needn’t be stumped in a single situation for too long. With the help of the Voodoo Lady, who appears to be mysterious for the sake of being mysterious, as well as a grizzled old sword trainer, Guybrush takes on the Three Trials. And he must steal an idol from Governor Elaine Marley’s mansion. He must find and defeat the Sword Master, the quickest (and deadliest) fencer around.
