Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I find buried treasure?
1 of 9: Nipperkin referred to a treasure hunter in the jungle, so let's go see him. To reach the jungle, go left through the town and turn into a grassy path just before the glassblower's store.
2 of 9: Once you're in the jungle, take the first left fork to find your intrepid treasure hunter --
3 of 9: -- sitting on the ground playing with, um, action figures. Pink ones. Lots of them. Man, they just don't make pirates like they used to. Still, if this is the guy, this is the guy. Talk to him and see what you find out.
4 of 9: Joaquin D'Oro has pretty much plundered the island looking for a Dark Ninja Dave doll. It's not what we usually think of as treasure, but it'll have to do.
5 of 9: D'Oro says his map is worthless, but maybe he's just not using it right. Look at it in inventory and see what you can make of it.
6 of 9: When you get to the end, you find a hole. Darn, no Dark Ninja Dave! But maybe we could fool D'Oro into thinking he's found one?
7 of 9: He has a whole lot of those Pink Pajama Pierres; the color is wrong, but otherwise it should do. He won't give you one, but perhaps you can snatch one away from him anyway.
8 of 9: Talk to D'Oro and say, "Look! ... " While his back is turned, grab a pink doll. Now all we have to do is change its color and get him a sword.
9 of 9: Now all you have to do is put the doll in the hole you found (now located at the "Buried Treasure" spot on the map) and talk to D'Oro about his map.
