Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I get some grog?
1 of 6: You need money, of which you ain't got any just yet.
2 of 6: The Ferryman has plenty, though, in that tip jar you can see sitting on top of the turnstiles. How can you distract him long enough to snag a bill from the jar?
3 of 6: He's not terribly talkative. What can you gather from looking at his boat that might prove a distraction?
4 of 6: The boat is immaculately clean, and the Ferryman himself says, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." And just look, you've got a couple handfuls of grave dirt in your spectral pockets.
5 of 6: Use some dirt on the boat. While the Ferryman is cleaning it off, grab a bill from the tip jar.
6 of 6: Use the bill on the grog machine to get a can. Only one flavor is available, so take that one.
