The Curse of Monkey Island Hints
Where do I get the money to play him?
1 of 11: Have you heard anything about a whole lot of money?
2 of 11: Stan was selling insurance contracts that were sure to be worth a lot. If you haven't run into Stan, you'll find him on your way to the Goodsoup family crypt.
3 of 11: First, you need to find the collateral to purchase the insurance policy.
4 of 11: The gold tooth will work nicely.
5 of 11: You might also need a Goodsoup name to go on the policy. You can get one by trying to talk to the bartender to convince him that you're one of his relatives -- just pick one at random when he asks you your name.
6 of 11: Of course, insurance policies are worth something only after you're dead.
7 of 11: Although, death certificates can be easy to come by, especially if you're part of an important family.
8 of 11: A death certificate will be filled out for you once you've gotten into the Goodsoup crypt.
9 of 11: It's stored with all the other Goodsoup family records.
10 of 11: It's in the filing cabinet in the closet at the hotel.
11 of 11: Just show it to Stan, and he'll give you more money than you could ever need.
