Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I get the Guybrush and LeChuck puppets?
1 of 12: You take can't them when they're still on the puppeteer's hands. You need to get rid of the puppeteer somehow.
2 of 12: Scaring him would do the trick. You need to figure out some way to do this.
3 of 12: First, you need to talk to him somehow.
4 of 12: The LeChuck puppet will be unwilling to let you talk to anyone else. Asking him to do so won't do any good. Try something else.
5 of 12: Keep on asking him about Hellbeard until he gets mad and lets you talk to the Guybrush puppet.
6 of 12: Now, ask the Guybrush puppet to talk to the puppeteer. You'll have to ask twice.
7 of 12: Talk to the puppeteer until you discover something that would scare him.
8 of 12: You'll discover that he's scared of the Ultimate Insult. How can you use this fear to your advantage?
9 of 12: If he saw one, it'd probably scare him away.
10 of 12: You have a picture of one in your inventory. That would work.
11 of 12: Show the map/Ultimate Insult instructions to Hellbeard. (You may need to talk to the puppets again until Hellbeard pops up.)
12 of 12: Now, just pick up the puppets that he leaves behind.
