Escape from Monkey Island Hints

How do I jog Herman's memory?

  • 1 of 9: It's going to take a lot to clear all of the cobwebs out of his head.
  • 2 of 9: He said that he couldn't remember anything before a coconut hit him on the head.
  • 3 of 9: The coconut seemed to cause some sort of trauma.  Maybe it's reversible.
  • 4 of 9: Throw the coconut (sitting in the campground) at him again.  This will help him remember a bit more.
  • 5 of 9: Talk to him and find out how far back he can remember.
  • 6 of 9: He'll be able to remember a few months back, when monkeys took his milk bottle.  Can you figure out what to do next?
  • 7 of 9: You need to hit Herman with his milk bottle.
  • 8 of 9: Ask him again about the first thing he remembers.  He'll remember back 20 years, when he found an accordion and tried to play it.
  • 9 of 9: Now, you need to hit Herman with his accordion.
