Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I mess up Marco de Pollo?
1 of 9: Note what he does immediately before it's his turn to dive.
2 of 9: Marco uses his bottle of baby seal oil. Maybe you could sabotage that.
3 of 9: You're going to need to put something in it.
4 of 9: Something that would get him attacked by seagulls when he's trying to dive.
5 of 9: Some sort of food.
6 of 9: The mini-bagels from Starbuccaneer's should do the trick.
7 of 9: If you put the bagel in whole, Marco would notice. You need to figure out some way to break it up.
8 of 9: Try to eat it. Guybrush will chew it up, then spit it out.
9 of 9: Now, use the chewed-up bagel on the baby seal oil.
