Welcome to another fantastic installment of Tales of Monkey Island, this time – The Siege of Spinner Cay Walkthrough is brought to you by myself and my awesome sidekick Michael Wharton without which none of this would have been possible! First, the customary:

Warning : Spoilers Ahoy!

Guybrush Threepwood – Mighty Pirate, Tales of Monkey Island, Siege of Spinner Cay Walkthrough

We pick up with Guybrush on the deck of the Screaming Narwhal after he has just been confronted by Morgan Le Flay (pirate hunter), and we begin to sword fight.  During the sword fight, talking to Morgan causes Guybrush to change position on the ship.  Do this until you are in a position near the Navigation Map where there’s a seagull pecking at your zombified hand.  Pick up the hook next to the seagull, and talk to Morgan again until you are up on the top deck by the steering wheel.  Use the hook on the cable overhead, you are now sword fighting on the mast, click on the rope by the barrel of fish and you’ll cut it with your sword.  Talk to Morgan again until you are back at the steering wheel, click the wheel and you’ll kick it with your foot (the ship will list sideways and the barrel of fish will slide accross the boom).  Talk to Morgan again until you are beside the Navigation Map, click the seagull and you will shoo it away.  It will land on the bucket of fish and pick out the red herring Cutscene…

Tales of Monkey Island – The Siege of Spinner Cay Waklthrough : Jerkbait Islands

After the cutscene, navigate to Jerkbait Island by clicking it on the Navigation Map. On the dock you meet your first Vacaylian mer-person, Anemone, talk to them.  From the dock walkthrough to the Royal Chamber where Elaine will greet you.  Talk to the group about all options available, then ask Elaine to talk privately, she will give you an all day pass for the raft you saw back at the dock by Anemone.  Come down the stairs, and on your way past, click on the statue at the bottom and you will take out the eye.  Walkthrough to the right through the tunnel, and you’ll appear at the top.  Talk to the Anemone at the Bait and Repair shop and ask them to repair your mast, when it’s done, pick up the bucket beside the waterfall.  Walkthrough to the dock and give Anemone the travel ticket, you can now use the raft to get to Spoon Isle.  On Spoon Isle, talk to the Argueing Pirates, ask them to co-operate and encourage them to have a staring contest.  When they are staring at each other distract them and put the pyrite parrot inside their chest, while they are looking in opposite directions.  To find where they buried the treasure, go back to Spinner Cay, board the Screaming Narwhal and navigate to the three small Islands you can visit which are Isle of Ewe, Boulder Bay and Brillig Island. Walkthrough each of them until you hear the Pyrite Parrot calling out that he is – in fact – Guybrush Threepwood. Cutscene…

Now return to Spinner Cay and get back on the raft, take it across to Spoon Isle and walkthrough the jungle.  Exploring in every direction you will find many landmarks to navigate by, including a Fishing Well which will have a coupon on top of it for the Bait Shop.  Walkthrough the jungle until you come across Le Chuck.  He will be trying to figure out another puzzle.  Walk over to the cliff edge, there is another coupon in this scene, pick it up and walkthrough to the beach.  Take the raft across to Spinner Cay, take the coupons to the Bait Shop and give them to Anemone.  You will receive a giant oyster and some fish eggs, examine the oyster and you will find a giant pearl.  Walkthrough to the dock and take the raft back to Spoon Isle, walkthrough the jungle to Le Chuck and give him the pearl.  Unfortunately he is too simple to work out what to do with it, so you’re going to have to instruct him to use the pearl with the Claw Thingy then to use the it with the clam lock.  He will eventually figure out that you have to do the same with your Vacaylian key in the other clam shell lock.  An altar will appear, pick up the pry bar on the front of the altar and use it on the

Turtle.  You are too weak to shift it so go talk to Le Chuck, give him the pry bar Cutscene…

Visit the small Island North of Spinner Cay called Roe Island.  In De Cava’s hut, put the locket in the hole in the Manatee on the wall.  A small piece of paper will come out of it’s mouth, pick it up.  Use the Fisheye Lense with the Eye of The Manatee then use this on the paper (to do this, drag both items on to the left hand panel and click the + symbol… which was confusing to me at first!!!).  Go back to Spinner Cay and walkthrough from the dock to the other jetty which will lead you to the Library.  Talk to Tetra the librarian and ask for the book “101 Fish Jokes” (I’m not sure but there probably is 101 jokes in the book! Have fun finding out! lol)  Inside the book will be a coupon, take this to Anemone at the Bait shop and exchange it for more bait as before.  Walkthrough to the dock and take the raft back to Spoon Isle, go to the Fishing Well and use the hook with the glowing bait and you will receive the grumpy fish! Cutscene…

Walktrough to the library where you will find Elaine trapped under masonry.  Talk to her and pick up the masonry, after talking with Elaine, she will leave, pick up the Glowing Coals with the bucket.  Go to the Royal Chamber and pick up the hot tub control, then walkthrough to the dock and take the raft to Spoon Isle again.  Walkthrough the jungle to the Vacaylian Barbecue, use the bucket of Hot Coals with it, then use the hot tub controls with it.  Place the Pyrite Parrot on top of the Barbecue and it will melt into the pot and you will automatically pick it up.  Walkthrough to the area where you first encountered Le Chuck and pour the molten Pyrite over the cliff onto the Altar below (if you try to walk the long way around, it will set too quickly!).  Walkthrough the jungle to the pirates confronting Le Chuck and use the Fake Turtle Artifact with Le Chuck.  Cutscene…

Talk to Le Chuck, and tell him Elaine’s plan (or YOUR plan!!), then walkthrough to the beach and get on the raft and head South through the Blockade. Talk to the pirates and to Elaine and you will sneak through.  Travel to Brillig Island and you will find two pirates looking for their treasure, talk to them and say that you think you spotted it poking out under the Rubber Tree (it will appear as palm tree until you click on it, but it is the paler tree, closest to where you landed!).  They will dig through the roots, so you can now use the pry bar to push it over.  Go and confront McGillicutty.  Your cannon is ineffective so talk to McGillicutty and insult him until he fires at your ship, this will break your mast.  Go back to Spinner Cay and get it repaired again (tell  that you have found a more suitable tree).  Go back to McGillicutty and get him to fire at your ship again Cutscene…

Go back to the Jerkbait Islands and go to the Royal Chamber and talk to the MerLeader,  give them the artifacts and you will receive them back as a ball of artifacts.  Follow the instructions you are given, walkthrough to the dock and throw the ball of artifacts into the ocean.  Cutscene…

Once at sea, Morgan will board your ship again.  Talk to her and call her bluff!
