The Secret of Monkey Island Hints
How do I talk to the prisoner?
1 of 6: Apparently, his breath leaves much to be desired.
2 of 6: But what does he desire?
3 of 6: A breath mint, maybe?
4 of 6: Now, where's the logical place to buy some breath mints.
5 of 6: It's the same place where you can buy a sword and a shovel.
6 of 6: Go to the store in the far part of town. Talk to the storekeeper and ask him to give you a breath mint. In order for breath mints to be a buying option, you must have already tried to talk to the prisoner.
