Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I escape from Morgan Le Flay?
1 of 14: Have you tried talking to her?
2 of 14: She's not amenable to your charms, but when you talk to her, you move around. At each location, there are different things for you to interact with.
3 of 14: You also have your inventory. So what are your assets?
4 of 14: You have a poorly-fastened plank (as in "walk the") on the ship's deck, a barrel of fish hanging from the yardarm, and a seagull, and you can spin the ship's wheel and annoy the seagull. In addition, Morgan's grappling hook is stuck in the railing right next to the seagull.
5 of 14: Some grappling hook -- looks more like just a plain hook to me. Say, that might be a good substitute for a hand, since Guybrush is suddenly a unidexter.
6 of 14: Talk to Morgan till you're standing next to the gull, then take the hook. While you're here, click on the seagull to see what it does.
7 of 14: Now what? Well, that plank would make a good teeter-totter if you could get Morgan on one end and drop a weight on the other end.
8 of 14: Let's arrange the weight first. Go back up to the bridge (next to the ship's wheel) and use the hook on the cable overhead. This puts you and Morgan on the mast's yardarm.
9 of 14: Cut the rope that's keeping the fish barrel in place. It can now slide freely from one end of the yardarm to the other.
10 of 14: Talk to Morgan until you're back on the bridge again, then kick the wheel. The ship swerves and the barrel slides to the other end, directly over the plank.
11 of 14: Now we just have to get Morgan on one end of the plank and find a way to make the barrel drop on the other end. It's almost ready to drop; it just needs a little help.
12 of 14: What did the seagull do when you shooed it away from your hand?
13 of 14: Talk to Morgan until she's standing on one end of the plank. Click on the seagull, and that's the end of Morgan. For now.
14 of 14: When that's done, look at the map and tell Winslow to go to the Jerkbait Islands. You need to get that mast fixed. Again.
