The Curse of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get the hand lotion?
1 of 11: Talk to Haggis about it.
2 of 11: You need a substitute for the tar that's missing from the ship.
3 of 11: If you look around the island, you should find something that's described as looking like tar.
4 of 11: Actually, it's described as being like pitch, but that's close enough.
5 of 11: The nacho cheese in the bar is pitch-like.
6 of 11: Go into the supply closet, and find some unmelted nacho cheese.
7 of 11: You need a tool to take a piece.
8 of 11: Use the chisel from the cemetery, near the carved tombstone on the second screen.
9 of 11: Now, you need to melt the cheese.
10 of 11: You could probably melt it in the barbecue.
11 of 11: Then take the melted cheese to Haggis. Guybrush won't pick it up until he's talked to Haggis, so go back and ask Haggis about the lotion if you haven't done so.
