Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood

"Whatcha gonna do with all that gold? All that gold inside your chest..."

At the initial dialogue tree, just pick any response. Any of them end up with you still not being released. Eventually, after a long cut scene, you'll decide how to plead. Just plead Not Guilty to move forward, then choose to represent yourself. Check out the Briefs, then put those away. Now, to deal with those charges...

Trial of the Century...y...y 

Bailiff Hardtack's Charge 

To clear Hardtack's charge, click on the Judge and call Hardtack as a witness. Talk to him and accuse him of lying about the charge. Do that twice more and he'll crack and confess that he invented the whole thing. If only the rest were that easy...

Bosun Krebbs' Charge 

Note: yes, I know it's actually spelled Boatswain. The subtitles use the phonetic spelling of, so that's what we're doing for the purposes of this guide to avoid confusion.

Click on the judge and ask for a recess to confer with your client. Click on Hardtack once you're in the jail cell and tell him you want to see your lawyer, and you'll end up out of the prison. Newly emancipated, head over to Club 41 and walk on in. To the left of the bartender is a Sign. Look at it, and Guybrush will then be inspired to order a line of Volcano Shots. You get to keep one shot and four Empty Cups.

Now head to the table with the Skull Candle and use one of your Empty Cups with the Puddle of Hot Wax. Leave the bar and head over to the Marquis De Singe's place. You'll spot a Mysterious Caustic Liquid dripping down one of the marlin pillars. Use one of the Empty Cups with it. Now head down to Crimpdigit's and take a gander at the Leg-shaped Lamp. You'll need that. Use any of the warm liquids on the Lamp to blemish it, thus causing Crimpdigit to not want it anymore. The leg is now yours!

Head back to court and tell Hardtack you want to return to the trial. Tell the Judge you want to call Bosun Krebbs to the stand. Open up your inventory and use the Mysterious Caustic Fluid with the Leg Lamp. Now use the Hot Wax with the Lamp. Use the Lamp with Krebbs to prove that her burns were not caused by you.

For fun times with hot liquids, you can tour around the docks and pick up some more heated substances to hold in the mugs. Near Club 41 is an oil lamp on a pole, and you can snag some Hot Manatee Oil that's dripping down the pole. Crimpdigit has some molten glass leaking from his workshop that you can scoop up. Lastly, you can get some flaming bacon grease from the dock. None of these do anything and will be discarded, along with the mugs, after the trial, but if you want a complete collection of warm goop are definitely worth collecting.

Joaquin D'Oro's Charge 

Click on the judge and ask for a recess to confer with your client. Click on Hardtack and tell him you want to see your lawyer, and you'll end up out of the prison. Newly emancipated, head over to the other jail cell. Talk to D'oro. Ask him what he's in for, then ask him to stop testifying against you. Offer to give him a Glass Eye in exchange for him dropping the charges. Exit the convo.

Head over to Crimpdigit's. Click on the door, then ask him if he can make Glass Eyes. He'll hand you one that will adapt itself to any eye color it looks at. D'oro wants pox eyes, and you can anger anyone who's pox infested. However, the only one you can get this from is the judge. So tell Hardtack you want to return to court. There are two ways to make the judge angry. The first is to say "I object!" and the other is to call yourself as a witness. Either way, he shall become pox enraged. Simply use the Glass Eye on him to have it mimic the pox eyes.

Call a recess, consult your lawyer, then give the Glass Eye to D'oro. He'll hand you a Map to question him about. Now return to court and call D'oro to the stand. Use the Map on D'oro to have his charges against you dropped.

Hemlock McGee's Charge

Click on the judge and ask for a recess to confer with your client. Click on Hardtack and tell him you want to see your lawyer, and you'll end up out of the prison. Newly emancipated, head over to Stan. Talk to him and ask about the souvenirs he's selling. Ask about the Magnetic Beard Toy. It's defective and leaking iron shavings, and summarily tossed to the side. Exit the conversation and pick up the Beard Toy.

Head to the Docks area and up to De Singe's doorstep. You'll see Jacques in a cage just outside the door. Use your Hook to pick the lock and swipe Jacques. Head further down the docks and you'll find McGee feeding Miss Prettywhiskers. Use the leaky Beard Toy with the Bowl filled with catfood. Now talk to Hardtack and tell him you wish to re-enter the court.

Talk to the judge and call McGee to the witness stand. Simply walk over to the evidence table and use Jacques with the cat. The judge will then drop this charge.

The Summons of Marley-Threepwood 

Once you clear yourself of all those charges, you're free to go. Well, except for the criminal charge, of course. Plead not guilty because it isn't your fault. You will, eventually, be charged with the mission of serving Elaine her summons.

Once in Club 41, you'll find Bosun Krebbs sitting at a table. Talk to her, and pick the second option to flirt with her. This will bring Morgan and Elaine rushing to the table, and Krebbs will run off and hide in the bathroom. Head over to the bar and talk to W.P, then order a drink. The ladies of danger scamper back over to the bar, and Krebbs escapes from her hiding spot.

Click on the Icky Puddle that appeared at the bathroom door and a Scrap of Paper will get stuck to Guybrush's shoe. Click on that to pick it up to receive the Tri-Island Tuna Colada Recipe, then talk to Krebbs and flirt with her again. Hand the Drink Recipe to Grindstump and he'll slowly gather the needed ingredients.

Use the Summons with the Dartboard. The drink will be done soon after, and the ladies will start fighting on the bar again. Talk to Elaine and tell her that Morgan's no match for her, and she'll end up stabbing the summons.

Back in court, none of the dialogue options will help you. So tell the judge you need a minute to plan out your next move. Head over to the evidence table and pick up La Esponja Grande to end this scene.


Enbiggen la Esponja Grande 

Talk to the Voodoo Lady and she'll hand you a Map...yes, yet another map. Click on the Top Fold and the Bottom Fold to reveal a menu. Now we know what to feed the sponge, and in what order! Or, at least, in what order...in true adventure game fashion, the courses and laid out in hints.

First Course 

Head to the island overview and click on the Creepy Shack hotspot. Or follow the map, but the former option is quicker. Once there, use the Leg-Shaped Lamp with the Moths. Now return to the town and use the Lamp With Moths on Stan. Hmmm...well, that didn't go as expected. Talk to Stan and ask him about his new wares. Ask about the LeChuck doll to summon the Moths. Pick up what's left of Stan's Jacket and you'll have the first course. Combine it with the Sponge.

Second Course 

If you didn't do this earlier, head into Club 41 and pick up the Sack Of Sugar that Morgan knocked off the chandelier earlier. Now head into De Singe's Lab. Enter the backroom and Guybrush will pick up a pack of Severed Legs. Yummy.

Head into the Jungle and follow the map to the Well. Use the Sugar with the Well to attract some fireflies. Now use the Severed Limbs with the Well. Follow the map to the Altar and use the Severed Leg with Fireflies with the Altar. Return to the altar screen and follow the Firefly Trail through the jungle. When you get to the Calendar, there will be a Hidden Trail off to the right you can click on.

You've now found the legendary beast of Flotsam Island. He's got a stinky Lion Paw stuck in his mouth. Use the Leg-Shaped Lamp with the Jungle Beast and then grab the Lion Paw. Now just combine that Second course with the Sponge.

Third Course 

Head to Club 41. On the right-hand side of the bar is a Sign. Read it, then go ask W.P. about the Fugu Jolokia Challenge. He'll raise the glass from the Pepper. Instead of failing miserably, leave and head to De Singe's Lab. Inside, use the Curious Device (a.k.a. Auto-Trepanation device) hanging from the ceiling. Use the leftmost button to numb your tongue. Now return to Club 41 and use your Hook with the Pepper to snag this course. Combine it with the Sponge.

Fourth Course 

Pull out the Map and open both folds to reveal the menu. Hover the pointer over the corners to reveal that they, too, are folds. Fold down all the corners, and the top and bottom folds to fully complete the map. See those colored items on the map? If you've been exploring the jungle on your own, you'll realize that these are the wind god idols which are now under glass. Head to the jungle and use your newly folded Map to find the Red Idol.

Once there, pull out your map again. Unfold the top and bottom folds, then unfold the corners again to restore the map to its previous form. The Map now shows the Red Idol has a path leading to a question mark. Put the map away and the ground will shake. Follow the path to reach a lone chest. Use your Hook on the chest to get a deck of Tarot Cards. Combine them with the Sponge.

Fifth Course 

Enter Club 41. As you've been entering and exiting this place, you may have noticed that Guybrush get's shocked every time he tries to leave. That's because the Green Carpet on the floor is static-charged, and that gets discharged when he touches the doorknob. That shock alone, however, is not strong enough to qualify for the course.

So, stand on the carpet and walk around until Guybrush is engulfed in static. Then combine all the previous courses with the Sponge if you haven't done so already. Finally, walk to the exit to receive a huge shock.

Sixth Course 

Once you gain all the previous courses, Guybrush will automatically head toward the Belch. Watch the latest long scene, then use the Sponge with the Wind Control Device. Stupid Pyrite Parrot...

Once you're back in control, use the Sack of Sugar with the Bucket of Water. Now use the Pepper with De Singe, and we have a glowy-headed mad scientist. However, the fireflies are not bright enough to attract the moths fluttering near the Wind Control Device's eye. Talk to De Singe and tell him he's no match for Elaine. While he's distracted, Elaine hits the device with a lunge. Now just toss the Sponge into the Wind Control Device and watch the Boen-riffic ending.

Back to Chapter 3! On to the Chapter 5!
