Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get these guys to leave LeChuck alone?
1 of 12: They're determined not to leave without the Wise Turtle artifact, but you can't spare it. Is there a way to make them think they have it?
2 of 12: Remember the podium where you found the turtle artifact? It was essentially a negative impression of the real turtle -- or rather, a mold.
3 of 12: You could make a duplicate of the real artifact using that mold, if you had some gold or something like it and a place to melt it.
4 of 12: For the substance, it doesn't have to be real gold; it just has to be something that could trick these easily deluded pirates. That shouldn't be too hard; those guys really are fools.
5 of 12: You know, right, that another name for the mineral pyrite is fool's gold?
6 of 12: Okay, so we've got the pyrite parrot. All we need to find now is a way to melt him down. Say, what about that barbecue pit we found on this island?
7 of 12: From the spot where LeChuck is fighting with the pirates, go left to find the barbecue.
8 of 12: Once the barbecue is roaring, put the pyrite parrot on top and take the bowl of molten metal (ouch ouch ouch!). To return to the turtle mold, go left, left, left, left --
9 of 12: -- only to discover the metal isn't molten anymore, rats. We need a faster way to get to that mold.
10 of 12: Let's try this. Go back and melt the metal again, then head for LeChuck's cliff. From the barbecue, go left, up right, left.
11 of 12: Once you're there, walk up to the spot where the chest used to sit and use the molten metal on the "Cliff Edge." Now go back to the mold and use the prying tool to take the fake turtle.
12 of 12: Return to where LeChuck is still fighting and hand him the fake turtle.
