Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I get Herman's milk bottle?
1 of 8: You've got to find it first.
2 of 8: Go over to the lava area. A monkey will chuck it out into the middle of the area. You need to retrieve it somehow.
3 of 8: Now steer your boat over towards the bottle.
4 of 8: Unfortunately, you'll be unable to reach it with your bare hands. You'll need something to help you.
5 of 8: Something capable of extending and grabbing stuff.
6 of 8: Herman's banana picker will work fine. (You'll find the banana picker leaning against the cactus that's down in the canyon.)
7 of 8: Now, use the banana picker on the bottle when you ride by it.
8 of 8: If you miss it the first time, bear hard to the left to go around again. If you just can't get to the bottle, leave and try the ride again -- the logs will be arranged differently.
