Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I make a fake Monkey Mug?
1 of 14: First, you need a mug to work with that's similar in size to the Monkey Mug.
2 of 14: You'll find one at Starbuccaneer's.
3 of 14: It's in the customer's shopping bag. Look at the shopping bag first and you can then take it.
4 of 14: As it is, the Starbuccaneer's mug won't pass for a Monkey Mug. You need to modify it somehow to make it look more like the real thing.
5 of 14: Maybe you could use a picture of a Monkey Mug on it.
6 of 14: Who you'd you get a picture of a Monkey Mug from?
7 of 14: Perhaps someone would make one for you.
8 of 14: Get the jolly pirate/caricature artist to paint you with your mug.
9 of 14: If you already have a caricature, he'll draw another one for you, but only while you're seated at the table with the mug. At any other time, he won't help you.
10 of 14: Now, you just need some way to stick the picture on the mug.
11 of 14: You might already have a sticky substance in your inventory.
12 of 14: If not, go and check out Stan's Time Share.
13 of 14: You'll find a little bottle of glue sitting on the ledge of the building. Pick it up.
14 of 14: Use the bottle of glue on the caricature, then use the caricature on the mug.
