Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I follow Ozzie?
1 of 16: Maybe if he inadvertently left some sort of trail behind, you could follow that.
2 of 16: You've seen him inadvertently leave something behind before. What was it?
3 of 16: He left some wood shavings in the House of Sticks when he came to pick up his cane.
4 of 16: Maybe there's some way to sabotage the cane so it leaves more shavings -- or at least something similar to shavings.
5 of 16: Unfortunately, he won't let you touch it. You need to get him away from the cane so you can work with it.
6 of 16: He parts with his cane on a pretty regular basis. Remember why?
7 of 16: He breaks it whenever he gets mad and then takes it to the House of Sticks.
8 of 16: If you could tick him off, he'll probably break his cane.
9 of 16: He seems particularly fond of the platypus/floor mat in from of him. What could you do to it to mess it up?
10 of 16: Perhaps you could spray something nasty on it.
11 of 16: Something whose description specifically says not to use it on animals.
12 of 16: Use the "Eau de LeChuck" cologne bottle (from the perfume stand near the town fountain) on the platypus. Ozzie will break his cane and take it to the House of Sticks.
13 of 16: Now, you need something to use on the cane that would make it leave pieces of itself behind.
14 of 16: Something that would eat away at the cane.
15 of 16: Use the termites from the bait shop on the cane.
