The Curse of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get Palido to turn over?
1 of 13: Well, he's never going to get a tan.
2 of 13: But some people aren't made to tan -- they just burn really fast.
3 of 13: I bet Palido is one of those types.
4 of 13: Well, he probably won't burn either, but you might be able to make him think he has.
5 of 13: Turn his skin red.
6 of 13: He wants you to refill his drink for him.
7 of 13: That mug looks an awful like another mug you may have seen around.
8 of 13: Like the bottomless one that Kenny used.
9 of 13: And the bottomless mug gives you a good chance to turn Palido red.
10 of 13: Just swap Palido's mug with Kenny's, and then order a lemonade.
11 of 13: You not only get the bottomless mug, but you can also take Kenny's pitcher.
12 of 13: Fill it with red dye.
13 of 13: Now, use the bottomless mug on Palido and pour him a "drink" of red dye. He'll turn over and turn red.
