Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get the parrot into the chest?
1 of 6: What are your options for distracting them?
2 of 6: Just straight-out Guybrush-style distraction isn't quite enough. You need to try something that will make them turn around for a longer time, or will make it harder for them to see what's going on when they do turn around.
3 of 6: Did you notice that one of the options is for them to have a staring contest?
4 of 6: You know, when you forcibly stop yourself from blinking, your eyes get dried out, which makes your vision blurry. That might help.
5 of 6: So talk to the two pirates and suggest a staring contest to see who gets to bury the artifact. Once they're doing that, yell out something distracting, anything.
6 of 6: When they turn away from you, quickly pull out the pyrite parrot and drop it in the chest.
