The Curse of Monkey Island Hints
How does that help me find Elaine?
1 of 7: If you're playing in regular mode, just pull the handle to turn on the lights, and you'll find where Elaine is buried.
2 of 7: In Mega-Monkey mode, you need to use the controls a bit further until you can find her.
3 of 7: Take a look at the buttons.
4 of 7: They're arranged in a 3x3 grid.
5 of 7: Do you think you could attach directions to those buttons?
6 of 7: Imagine there's a compass on top of the buttons, with north pointing up. The 8 buttons along the outside correspond to directions on the map.
7 of 7: Just press those buttons in the same order as on the "map". When you've pressed them all, you'll create an "X" on the stage that shows where Elaine is.
