The Curse of Monkey Island Hints
How can I get out of the quicksand?
1 of 16: Did you see the life-saving vine?
2 of 16: You might be able to shake that loose.
3 of 16: Try throwing something at it.
4 of 16: Like the paperweight.
5 of 16: Well, your aim isn't good, but you're on the right track. You just need to find another way of getting the rock to hit the target.
6 of 16: Maybe you could put it into position first.
7 of 16: Try floating it over to the right location.
8 of 16: Use it on the helium balloons.
9 of 16: Then blow on the balloon. The rock will eventually stop just above the vine.
10 of 16: Finally, you need to get the rock to hit the vine itself.
11 of 16: The balloon is holding up the rock.
12 of 16: So pop it.
13 of 16: You can improvise a bit of a weapon with some readily-available items.
14 of 16: Get the reed and the thorn from this screen.
15 of 16: Combine them to make a pea shooter.
16 of 16: Use the pea shooter on the balloon, and you'll be out of the quicksand.
