The Secret of Monkey Island Hints
Crew Member #3 (Hard)
1 of 25: Every pirate crew needs a low-down, dirty, rotten scoundrel.
2 of 25: These scoundrels often are less-than-legal.
3 of 25: And land in jail.
4 of 25: Maybe Otis, the prisoner, will join your crew.
5 of 25: He doesn't know about the Governor's kidnapping.
6 of 25: Why don't you tell him?
7 of 25: Maybe he would help you save her.
8 of 25: Ask him to join your crew.
9 of 25: But he can't join you until he breaks out of his cell.
10 of 25: Or until you break him out.
11 of 25: Could you dissolve the lock somehow?
12 of 25: You need something acidic.
13 of 25: What did the pirates in the SCUMM Bar say?
14 of 25: Grog can eat through most anything.
15 of 25: Including the lock.
16 of 25: Now, where could you get some grog?
17 of 25: Why in the SCUMM Bar, of course.
18 of 25: In the kitchen, to be precise.
19 of 25: You need to transport it somehow.
20 of 25: The mugs in the bar should do the trick.
21 of 25: But they melt fairly quickly.
22 of 25: Maybe you could transfer the grog from mug to mug.
23 of 25: Walk from the SCUMM Bar to the prison, pouring the grog from mug to mug when necessary. (If the grog melts a mug completely, go back to the SCUMM Bar, pick up more mugs, and try again.)
24 of 25: Now melt the lock on Otis's cell by pouring the grog on it.
