Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I move the big rock?
1 of 9: You can't move it by yourself. You'll need someone to help you.
2 of 9: Someone with something big and powerful.
3 of 9: Someone's already tried to use something big and powerful against you (and any other pirate, for that matter).
4 of 9: If you can get Admiral Casaba to fire his cannon at the rock, he could probably blow it away.
5 of 9: What did the pirates say would make Casaba fire his cannons?
6 of 9: If you could make Casaba think you have two other pirates with you (thereby making a congregation of three pirates), he'll launch a cannon ball at you.
7 of 9: The puppeteer on Knuttin Atoll mentions that Casaba can't tell the difference between puppets and real pirates.
8 of 9: The Guybrush and LeChuck puppets, plus you, would make three pirates.
