This is my third guide. My first two (which were for Sam n' Max Hit the
Road and Mission Asteroid) were never accepted at GameFAQs. Sam n' Max
was never sent in, because it wasn't in the right format, it was bad,
and I was too lazy to fix it up. So this is my first real guide. It's
probably pretty bad. I'm not much of a critic for my own work, though.
Anyway, enjoy. Or don't. Either way, if you don't like it, don't email
me and flame me about it. Or go ahead and do that, but if you do,
expect an equally vicious reply and an address ban. Cheers.

The Secret of Monkey Island was released way back in the days of old
(a.k.a. 1990) by LucasArts Entertainment Company. It's the beginning of
a series of humorous adventure games that has spawned numerous fan
sites, hopes for a movie, and one of the strangest places on the 'net
that I know of: alt.games.lucas-arts.monkey-island (AGLAMI).

. Main Characters
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Guybrush Threepwood (Speaks in White):
Guybrush is the protagonist [for those of you out there who don't
know what that means, a protagonist is a main character, or, as my
dictionary puts it: pro-tag'o-nist (pr”-tÆg'”-n‹st), n. One who
takes the leading part in a drama; hence, one who takes the lead in
any great matter.] of the Monkey Island series. His main goal in
life is to be a mighty pirate, but of course he also wants to get
rich, marry Elaine Marley (the governor of Mˆl‚e Island), and be
captain of his own ship.

Elaine Marley (Speaks in Fuschia):
Governor of Mˆl‚e Island, owner of some rather pissed off poodles,
and Guybrush Threepwood's one true love, Elaine is the 'damsel in
distress', or would be if she wasn't perfectly capable of taking
care of herself. Her plans are usually ruined by Guybrush, but she
loves him nonetheless.

Ghost Pirate LeChuck (Speaks in Light Blue):
He's dead, he's into voodoo, and he's allergic to root beer. He also
happens to be the antagonist [ant-tag'o-nist (Æn-tÆg'ä-n‹st), n. One
who contends with another, esp. in combat; adversary; opponent. --
Syn. Enemy, foe, rival, competitor.] of the Monkey Island series.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
. Other Important Characters
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Important-Looking Pirates (Speak in Blue, Yellow, and Fuschia; Located
beyond the curtains in the Scumm Bar):
You need to talk to these guys to progress in the game. They'll
tell you about the three tasks you'll need to complete before you
can become a pirate, give you some advice, and tell you the
ingredients of grog. Yum.

Alfredo Fettucini (Speaks in Fuschia; Located in the circus tent in the
clearing)
Alfredo and his brother, Bill, will offer Guybrush a job as cannon
stunt tester. There's a hefty reward given, so take him up on his
offer.

Bill Fettucini (Speaks in Green; Located in the circus tent in the
clearing)
Bill and his brother, Alfredo, will offer Guybrush a job as cannon
stunt tester. There's a hefty reward given, so take him up on his
offer.

Men of Low Moral Fiber (Speak in Fuschia, Light Blue, and Green;
Located on the street corner in the main part of town on Mˆl‚e island):
If you take a copy of the minutes of the last Mˆl‚e Island PTA
meeting, they'll give you 2 pieces o' eight. They aren't really
important, but they give you money, so they're here.

Voodoo Lady (Speaks in ______; Located in the voodoo shop in the main
part of town on Mˆl‚e Island):
She'll tell you your future. Stop by if you want to. Otherwise,
she's pretty much useless. She'll be back later in the series.

Shopkeeper (Speaks in Fuschia; Located in the general store in the back
part of town on Mˆl‚e Island):
He'll insult you a bit and sell you some super-cool stuff. Well,
maybe not exactly super-cool. But he'll sell you stuff.

Sheriff Fester Shinetop (Speaks in Red; Located in the Alley in the
town on Mˆl‚e island and in the governor's mansion in the same place):
The sheriff will advise you to get off the island, then walk off.
You'll run into him again. He'll toss you into the ocean. What a
nice guy.

Prisoner (Speaks in Yellow; Located in prison in the town on Mˆl‚e
Island):
This guy's name is Otis. He'll give you a carrot cake if you can
give him something to get rid of the rats. But first you'll have to
take care of that nasty breath. If you help him escape, he'll join
your crew.

Troll (Speaks in Light Blue; Located on the bridge):
He'll block your path unless you pay him. And if he takes off his
mask, he looks supiciously like George Lucas...

Carla (Speaks in Green; Located in the Sword Master's Hideout, on the
dock, and on the ship):
Also known as the Sword Master, you must defeat Carla to complete
the mastery of the sword trial and progress through the game. She
will then join your crew.

. Useless Characters
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Lookout (Speaks in Gray; Located at Lookout Point):
The first NPC (non-player character) you meet in the game, this guy
is in charge of keeping watch on top of the island. He can hardly
see anything, he thinks Threepwood is Thriftweed, and he thinks
Guybrush would make a good flooring inspector. And that's about it.
He's not useful in any way, unless you want to count his information
concerning who you need to talk to if you want to be a pirate.

Mancomb Seepgood (Speaks in Salmon; Located in top left corner of the
Scumm Bar):
This guy will tell you to speak to the important-looking guys in the
next room. He'll also laugh at your name and call it stupid. You can
find out some things about Governor Marley's mansion and her
watch dogs if you ask.

Pirate with Scarred Eye (Speaks in Purple; Located at the center table
in the Scumm Bar):
He'll tell you a bit about LeChuck if you care. His scar came from a
nasty incident with a contact lens. He'll also tell you how to get a
drink and why there isn't a dartboard.

Pirate with LOOM Pin (Speaks in Blue; Located at the back table in the
Scumm Bar):
Another useless guy. This time with a nice hat. He's advertising
LOOM. Ask him about it if you care. Otherwise, don't bother.

Dog (Speaks in Gray; Located by the curtains in the Scumm Bar):
Completely useless unless you're into the whole barking thing. He
says something about Mˆl‚e island and LeChuck, but he says it with
'Arf!' and 'Woof' so unless you find that sort of thing amusing,
don't even bother talking to him.

Cook (Speaks in Light Blue; Located in the Scumm Bar):
All he does it tell you not to go into the kitchen. Ignore him.

Heavily Armed Clown (Speaks in Red; Located in the back rooms of the
Governor's mansion):
