![]() A trio of ex-pirate barbers ends up becoming Guybrush's crew.Now all he needs is a crew, a ship, a map, and to find Elaine. RELATED: Monkey Island: The Ask Me About Loom Joke, ExplainedĪsking the Voodoo Lady for advice once more, Guybrush learns that he must travel to Blood Island - this is where he'll find a diamond ring big enough to break the curse. The troubles mount up when logic kicks in - Plunder Island is a pirate island and Guybrush left a solid-gold statue on the beach. Before he can return to LeChuck's ship, however, it departs! After learning from an abandoned crewmate that LeChuck is returning to Melee Island to marry Elaine, Guybrush pursues him with the help of Herman Toothrot, who had a ship all this time. It is here that Guybrush learns that to kill the undead, you need some Voodoo Antiroot, and the cannibals help him make up a batch. Helping him reach the ship is the head of a navigator, who is unseasonably chatty for a detached head - it is his necklace that lets Guybrush board the ship filled with undead safely, as it makes him invisible to ghosts. Reaching the ship takes a lot of work - Guybrush has to deal with cannibals wearing fruity masks, a castaway named Herman Toothrot, and a monkey he teaches to pull a lever, letting him access the monkey head. It takes only a little exploration on Monkey Island to find out that LeChuck's ship is currently docked underground, in the hellish, lava-filled tunnels hidden beneath a giant, ominous monkey head. Guybrush heads deep into the forests of Melee Island to find some plunder, and while it takes some doing, he eventually gets to dig up a rather disappointing treasure - a t-shirt. Finally, Treasure Huntery must be mastered.This peculiar artifact happens to bein inside the Melee Island Governor's Mansion, and it is through this quest that Guybrush meets Elaine Marley, but more about her later. Second is the trial of Thievery, for which Guybrush sets his sights on the Idol of Many Hands.By learning some nasty jibes, he takes on the current Swordmaster of Melee Island, Carla, and beats her handily. First, Guybrush masters the art of Insult Swordfighting, a combat art that revolves around cutting remarks and exhibitions of wit.One by one, Guybrush completes the trials: If he completes them all, he will be a fully-fledged pirate in the leaders' eyes. In fact, in the Scumm Bar, a chaotic den of piracy and a roaring good time, the pirate leaders give young Threepwood the three trials of piracy. Here, he's instructed to meet the pirate leaders, who will point Guybrush in the right direction. We first meet Guybrush on Melee Island, which will become one of the most important islands of the series. He is a simple man with one goal in mind - he wants to be a pirate. We begin our story with a young man named Guybrush Threepwood. There are tons of characters to remember and plot threads that go to exciting places, and that's not even mentioning the puzzles! We've got you covered, though - we'll take you through a chronological tale of Monkey Island. With six games to play, it can be a little intimidating getting into the series. RELATED: Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting Return To Monkey Island It's undergone many changes as it's moved from 2D to 3D and back to 2D again, but some things remain constant, such as the compelling Guybrush Threepwood, the nefarious LeChuck, and the awe-inspiring Elaine Marley. The Monkey Island series has been running for many years, decades, even. The Voodoo Pox (Tales Of Monkey Island).Elaine, Dead (Escape From Monkey Island).Elaine, Cursed (The Curse Of Monkey Island).A New Quest (Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge).Guybrush Threepwood Wants To Be A Pirate (The Secret Of Monkey Island).As for Jambalaya Island, it was mostly due to the "theme2 of the Island I didn't like, so not going to pass harsh judgement on that, I did like the Beach theme for Knuttin Atoll, but of course that was one of Lands too as it was just a remaster of a track he done for COMI. Peter and Clint did very good jobs too as Lucre Island had some awesome music and yet some Lazy music in Lucre Town (nearly put Lazytown there). ![]() THANK YOU!! That's good for me then, I mostly liked the feeling of Melee Island (Add Outside The Govenors Mansion to that list too, it grew on me again) so I'm looking forward to hearing what he'll come up with for TOMI. He also made the music for the cutscenes. Only Clint Bajakian composed for all islands and mostly for Lucre Town. ![]() Michael Lande - music for Jambalaya Island Peter McConnell - music for "backside" Lucre Island (and Stan's theme) (as there are four different islands in EMI) He said that he worked with four other composers and that every composer had his own island. A few weeks ago I read this interview with Clint Bajakian, who was the lead composer of EMI. ![]()
