Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get hold of some bile?
1 of 7: First, you need something to put it in. Talk to De Cava for that (by climbing up the ramp to the mouth, just left of where Morgan is standing).
2 of 7: He asks you to get him a drink and gives you a mug for the purpose, perfect. Walk down to where the pool of bile is closest, left past the piles of treasure, and use the mug on the pool.
3 of 7: Darn, it's just out of reach. Now what? Well, if you can't reach the pool, maybe you can make the pool come to you. Have you talked to Noogie about his music?
4 of 7: If you ask Noogie to pick up the tempo on his drumming, it makes the pool of bile rise. So you just race down there and --
5 of 7: -- rats, not fast enough! We need a quicker way to get down there.
6 of 7: Once you've got the hang of the valves, ask Noogie to speed up, then jump into the Weird Bump to his right. This will pop you out next to the bile pool, where you can now just scoop up some bile.
7 of 7: Your mug of bile will stay full no matter how many times you use it, so you only need to do this once.
