Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge Hints

How can I make money?

  • 1 of 10: You can make a few pieces of eight by polishing the pirate's wooden leg. (Just talk to him and he'll send you off to buy wood polish.  Buy some at the woodsmith's, and then just use the wood polish for a tip.)  But there's a much better way to make lots of money.
  • 2 of 10: If you notice, there's a "help wanted" sign at the bar.
  • 3 of 10: Look at it, and then talk to the bartender to try to get the job.
  • 4 of 10: Unfortunately, there's already somebody working as a cook.  But fortunately for you, this is only his first day, so the bartender isn't too attached to his cook.
  • 5 of 10: You could probably get him fired if you managed to make him look bad.
  • 6 of 10: Perhaps putting a rather unusual ingredient in his vichyssoise might work. (You can get into the kitchen by climbing through a window, by the way.)
  • 7 of 10: One that makes it look like he doesn't keep a very clean kitchen.
  • 8 of 10: Like the pirates' rat.
  • 9 of 10: Just put the rat in the vichyssoise, and you're nearly there.  All you need to do is make sure the bartender knows about his cook.
  • 10 of 10: Go around to the front of the bar, and talk to the bartender to order some "soup."  Once the cook notices the rat, you can then take the job (again by talking).
