We’re just here to pick up some supplies for now. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though, we’re not nearly ready to fight the Sword Master yet.
THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE 1 TRIAL
This is Melee Island’s General Store and the Shopkeeper is the only one who can lead you to the Sword Master so you can best them in combat and complete the Trial of the Sword.

There’s nothing else you can do here now so leave the Jail and go into the open front door of the two story building to the right of the Church. Try to speak to him and Guybrush will refuse because of his bad breath. The town Jail only has one prisoner, Otis. Leave, then walk to the Archway under the town clock and continue on to the other end of the village.Įnter the last building on the left with the barred windows. Regardless of your choice, you’ll need to grab the chicken atop the chest in the Voodoo Lady’s shop before continuing on. That being said, I recommend you chat with her a bit just for the heck of it. Here is where you first meet the Voodoo Lady, but you don’t actually need to speak with her in order to complete the game. Continue on to the left and enter the first door on the right. Tell him you had a barber named Dominique and then purchase the map to the legendary lost treasure of Melee Island for 100 pieces of eight. Approach the Citizen of Melee (the man with a parrot on his shoulder) standing in the foreground. Walk under it to enter Melee Island’s only town. Go back to the Lookout, take the path down the mountain and past the Scumm Bar until you reach an Archway. Return to the Clearing and walk back the way you came to return to the Island Map. Guybrush survives the trip and receives 478 pieces of eight for his trouble. Give them the pot you collected from the Scumm Bar kitchen when they ask if you have a helmet. Speak to them and agree to be fired from the nearby cannon. Go there and enter the circus tent to the left. In the center of the island you’ll see an orange dot labeled “ Clearing”. What you see here is an overhead view of Melee Island that I’ll refer to as the Island Map.

After leaving the Scumm Bar walk back up to the Lookout (where you started the game) and take the path to the right. We’ll need some pieces of eight to finance our efforts to pass the three trials, so Guybrush will need to get a job. At this point the first cutscene of the game will play, introducing you to the ghost pirate LeChuck. That’s all you need in the Scumm Bar for now so you can leave. Repeat the process so the gull flies away long enough for you to pick up the fish. The board will tip and the seagull will get spooked, but return to the fish shortly. Go to the end of the dock and step on the board on the nearest side. Guybrush will refuse to pick the fish up for fear of having his hand pecked off. A seagull will fly over and start eating the fish. When you’re done playing chef, head through the door to your right towards the dock. Pick up the meat again and you’ll have stewed meat. Then use that meat with the pot on the stove to your right. Grab the pot from under the right side of the table and then pick up the hunk of meat from on top of the table. Once he’s gone there won’t be anyone there to stop you. To get past, wait outside the kitchen until the cook walks off-screen. Try to enter the door to the right of the fireplace and you’re stopped by the cook. You can ask the pirates for more details if you feel like it, but you need to grab something from the kitchen before you leave the Scumm Bar. If you tell them your dreams of becoming a pirate, you’ll be told of Three Trials you must complete to become a pirate: The Sword, Thievery, and The Quest. You can speak to Estevan at the next table if you care to learn more about the Melee Island goings-on, or head to the other side of the bar (past the red curtain) to speak with the Important Looking Pirates. Say you want to be a pirate and ask where the governor is. Head inside and speak with the pirate in the red coat by the door. When you’re finished, continue on to the right until you reach another building. Head down the path, go past the building and then enjoy the lovely view of the moon. After speaking with the Lookout, walk down the stairs on the bottom-right of the screen. We first meet our hero, Guybrush Threepwood, atop a cliff on Melee Island.
