Tales of Monkey Island Hints
Where can I find some root beer over here?
1 of 7: There are no monkey coffins on Elaine's ship; we'll have to see what we can manufacture. What are our resources?
2 of 7: We've got a huge barrel of near grog. That's a good start --
3 of 7: -- but if you put the cutlass into it, you just get a wet sword, and adding breath mints just gives you fizzy grog. We need to add something else to get it a little closer to root beer.
4 of 7: Did you notice that there's a potted plant on the opposite end of the ship from LeChuck?
5 of 7: And the plant's roots are huge tentacle-y things clearly visible crawling along the deck. What does it take to make beer into root beer? In a cartoony computer game, I mean?
6 of 7: Use the cutlass to cut off a piece of the root, then put the root and breath mints into the barrel of near grog. You can now dip the cutlass into the barrel to make it all sparkly enchanted.
7 of 7: Now all you have to do is use the cutlass on Chuck!
