The Curse of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get rid of Rottingham?
1 of 13: He is very proud of his hair.
2 of 13: He would probably leave if anything happened to it.
3 of 13: He also is proud of his good hygiene.
4 of 13: But you might be able to trick him into thinking that neither is so great.
5 of 13: Have you been backstage at the theater?
6 of 13: Take a look at the coat hanging next to the door.
7 of 13: There's some dandruff on the coat.
8 of 13: Or maybe that's not dandruff.
9 of 13: Look at the "dandruff" to realize there are really lice on the coat. (You only need to look at the coat this many times in Mega-Monkey mode.)
10 of 13: Take the lice.
11 of 13: Now, try to give them to Rottingham.
12 of 13: You can't put them directly on him, but you can put them somewhere where they will easily be found.
13 of 13: Put them on Haggis's comb when he puts it on the table. Rottingham will then face a little trouble and leave the barber shop.
