Escape from Monkey Island Hints
Where can I find the perpetrator?
1 of 10: If you ask around, you'll find out that the man you're looking for is named Pegnose Pete.
2 of 10: Who on the island would know the most about someone with a peg nose?
3 of 10: Talk to Deadeye Dave at the Palace of Prostheses.
4 of 10: Since Deadeye Dave can't see, you won't be able to get the perpetrator's name by describing his looks. How did Dave say he identifies people?
5 of 10: He does so by their distinctive odor. You need to recreate Pete's scent.
6 of 10: Use the scent on Dave, and he'll give you a name. If he doesn't, you haven't finished making the scent.
7 of 10: Dave will tell you that Pete lives in the swamp. But you need to retrieve the file for the name he gives you, to make your way through the swamp.
8 of 10: The directions are stored in the file retrieval system of the Palace of Prostheses.
