Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I help this situation?
1 of 9: What could you do against the enemy pirate ship?
2 of 9: Your hands might be chained to a pole, but your feet are still free to help you out of that situation.
3 of 9: That loaded cannon over there looks like it might be useful.
4 of 9: If only there was something you could use to light its fuse.
5 of 9: Something hot would probably do the trick.
6 of 9: How about the brazier of hot coals sitting nearby?
7 of 9: Kick the brazier over ("use" it).
8 of 9: Now, take advantage of the pile of coals lying at your feet.
9 of 9: Pick up a coal. (You'll use your feet -- just press "P" or the usual "pick up" key.) Kick it at the cannon.
