Escape from Monkey Island Hints

How do I get the golden man?

  • 1 of 11: Explore the island.  You should find a person with some useful information.
  • 2 of 11: The lady in Starbuccaneer's will tell you that the prize for the local cliff diving competition is a golden man.
  • 3 of 11: Go down and check out the competition.
  • 4 of 11: Talk to the diver and challenge him to a match.  He'll tell you that you need to get certified before he'll compete against you.
  • 5 of 11: Go talk to the judges and tell them you want to dive.  They'll certify you, and you're ready to dive.
  • 6 of 11: Now challenge Marco to a diving competition.  You'll probably lose miserably the first time you try, but try anyway, so you can learn for the next time.
  • 7 of 11: In order to win, you're going to have to do a few things to improve your score.
  • 8 of 11: First, you're going to have to figure out how to boost your own scores.
  • 9 of 11: You need to appease each of the three judges individually.
  • 10 of 11: After you successfully match his scores, you'll enter a tiebreaker round. You're going to have to mess up Marco somehow so he doesn't get perfect scores.
  • 11 of 11: Once you've found a way to mess up Marco, challenge him to another dive.  In the first round, match his dive as usual.  Then, in the tiebreaker round, do whatever you want.  If you successfully sabotaged Marco's baby seal oil, he'll be attacked by seagulls and his dive will be ruined.
