Part IV: The Bartender, The Thieves, His Aunt, and Her Lover
Retrieving the Ring
Leave the beach and head to the Hotel. Talk to the Bartender, and find out that he's got a hangover. Now pick up the sagging cushion on the one barstool. Next, grab the recipe book and leave. The book says that you need Pepper, Egg, and Hair of the Dog that bit ya.
To find the Pepper, simply head to the Windmill. Pick up a pepper from the plant beside the door.
The Dog Hair is at Mort's, aka the second screen of the Cemetery. Upon arriving there, you see a dog named Old Blind Pew. Grab a hunk of his fur, then pick up his treats and give them to him. You get bitten!
The Egg can be found at the Beach. First, grab the Mallet and Chisel from Mort's near the dog. Use the cushion with the rocks under the rubber tree. Now hit the tree with the mallet, and pick up the Egg.
Head back to the Hotel and turn over all the ingredients. Griswald Goodsoup comes alive once more and gives you the rest of the hangover cure. Talk to him, and discuss the Goodsoup family diamond. Ask him how it would be possible to get into his Aunt's tomb. Die, huh? Well, this calls for a drink!
Order whatever kind of drink you'd like. Now enter the inventory and use the chisel to open the Head-B-Clear, then use that with the drink. Down the beverage, and, after a hilarious scene, Guybrush falls over dead. Or does he? After you get buried, and the credits stop rolling, use the chisel with the coffin. Pick up the nails sticking out of the freshly-opened casket, then open the coffin in the center. Stan appears and automatically talks to you, then kicks you out. But not before he gives you his business card. Leave the crypt and the graveyard.
Talk to Griswald about not getting buried in his Aunt's tomb, then try to convince him that you're a Goodsoup. He doesn't believe you, so head upstairs. Open the door with the gigantic peephole in it and head inside the room. Use the mallet with the nail sticking out of the wall. Now leave the room to return to the hallway.
Pick up the portrait nail. Enter the other room in the hallway and pull down the bed. Use the nails with the bed, then use the single nail with the bed. Grab the book from the corpse. Walk downstairs and talk to Griswald about Goodsoup family history, and Guybrush will cleverly use the book. Head to Stan's and ask for an insurance policy and pay with the Gold Tooth. Now head back up to the Hotel, and kill yourself again.
After you get out of the coffin, look through the crumbling hole...hehe. Now head to the left a little and talk to Minne Stronie Goodsoup. You learn that LeChuck stole the huge diamond from the wedding band and sold it to some smugglers on Skull Island. Now...if only that door wasn't locked...
Head left some more and pick up the crowbar. Try to walk toward that crack in the wall and get ambushed by Murray. Pick him up, then look through the crack. You can talk to Mort for a little if you want, but to progress you need to use the Skeleton Arm to grab the lantern. Set the Lantern on the coffin and use Murray with the crack in the wall. After the very funny scene, Mort unlocks the gate and you can leave.
Head back to the Hotel. Enter the door in the back/right and grab the Death Certificate and the Big Whoop Magnet from the fridge. Head back out into the "lobby" and talk to Madame Xima. Keep asking about your fortune until she reads it. You get a Death Card right away. Guybrush keeps asking for more until there are 5 Death Cards on the table. Pick them up, then head upstairs. Go into the room with the skeleton on the bed and use the Crowbar with the boarded up hole. Now use the Crowbar with the nails. After Charles DeGoulash woos his new bride, the wedding band is left behind in the mortal coil. Guybrush heads in and grabs it.
Exit the crypt and enter Stan's. Hand over the Death Certificate and get A lot of money. Now head back to the Hotel. Grab the Tip Jar, then leave and head to the Windmill. Open the door and head up. Now break out the Tip Jar, and fill it with the sugar water in the barrel.
Enter the door up there to leave, then head to Elaine. Use the Chisel with the lid, then use the Jar filled with sugar water with the stump. Once the Fireflies enter the jar, put the Lid on and grab the jar. Go up the Lighthouse. Put the Jar in the Lantern Post. Ta-dah!
Go to the Village and grab the Measuring Cup. Go to the Shipwreak and grab the bottle of Capn. Nick's Shaving Soap from the sand. Bite the cork off, and use the Pin with the cork. Head to the Beach and use the Measuring Cup with the water. Now use the Big Whoop Magnet with the Pin in Cork, and use the combo with the water in the cup to create a rudimentary compass. Now talk to the Flying Welshman.
Ask for a Ferry to Skull Island, and he'll refuse you. Give him the homemade compass that you just constructed, and you'll be all set. Now you can ask him to ferry you to the island, and he'll agree. After the hilarious scene, you'll climb up the to top and talk to LaFoot. When you ask to be lowered down, he'll grudgingly agree. However, the little twerp lets go of the winch and you fall. Quickly use your Umbrella and float safely to the ledge.
Once inside, open with "I have got SO much money, it's almost embarrasing." King André will then talk to you. Use any responses, then try to make a deal when you get a chance. Just agree to the poker game. After you get your hand, enter the inventory screen. If you keep playing, the hands are amusing. To win, just use the 5 Death Cards with the lousy hand. They can't beat 5 of a kind, so naturally they try to kill you. Guybrush deftly escapes with the diamond in tow, and leaves the island.
If you didn't deploy the Umbrella in time, Guybrush throws LaFoot off the cliff before he leaves
Uncursing Elaine
Go to the Shipwreck and try to grab the Hand Lotion by Hagas. He'll stop you, so ask him how you can get it. You need a tar/tar-like substance. Hmmm....
Go to the Hotel and walk into that back room area. Use the Chisel with the Nacho Cheese Wheel.
Enter the Village and grab the Giant Block of Tofu and the Auger. Use the Auger with the Giant Block of Tofu and wear the newly created mask. Walk upwards-ish and talk to Lemonhead. He'll think you're a visiting cannibal and let you up to see the sacrifice. Watch the...odd...ritual, then throw some Nacho Cheese into the smoldering caldera. The volcano erupts, and you need to travel to the Hotel. Use the Nacho Cheese with the pot on the far right of the porch area, then take that to Hagas and you have the Hand Lotion.
Onward to Elaine! Use the Hand Lotion with the Cursed Ring. Now, combine your diamond with the ring band, then use the ring with Elaine's finger.
