*Insult Arm Wrestling?
*Is there something I could do to convince you to navigate me ship to Lucre
Island?

Answer: From the size of your gut, I'd guess they were eaten.
I: I'm going to put your arm in a sling.

I: Your knuckles I'll grid to a splintery paste.
A: I thought the bean dip had a strange taste.

A: He must have taught you everything you know.
I: You're the ugliest creature I've seen in my life.
A: I'm shocked that you never have gazed at your wife.
I: My forearms have been mistaken for tree trunks.
A: An over-the-counter defoliant could help with that problem.
I: Do I see quivers of agony dance on your lip?
A: It's laugher that's caused by your feathery grip.
I: I've got muscles in places you've never heard of.
A: It's too bad none of them are in your arms.
I: People consider my fists lethal weapons.
A: Sadly, your breath should be equally reckoned.

-----------------------------------
Note: If, after that, you are requested to perform, you first, a dive, choose
any movements you want.

Act III (20 Steps)
94. Leave the beach and hike to the Canyon. Pick up the banana picker, below a
cactus.
95. Leave and go to the volcano castle, above the lava field. Enter the
cathedral.
96. When you are in, turn to the door and use the banana picker with the
shields.
97. Walk and say to Rasputin:
*Don't look now but there's a river of lava flowing through the middle of your
church.
*(whatever)
*How does this stream of lava fit into the church's wedding ceremonies?
*I'd like to try your lava plunge.
*Aw, c'mon, let me ride a boat down a river of molten lava.
98. Have in your hand the banana picker. Guide the boat, so that it comes close
to the milk bottle, in order to pick it up.
Note: There is no walkthrough at this point, because the position of the trunks
differs from game to game. Generally, you should make one of the trunks to hit
and move the trunk, which is next to the rock with the milk bottle, then enter
canal, where the trunk was, and pick up the bottle.
99. Leave and go to the vista point, pick up a rock from the pile and use it
with the right side of the cliff. Pick up a second rock and use it with the
middle side of the cliff, exactly when the first one shakes one of the roots.
Pick up and a third rock and use it with the left side of the cliff, exactly
when the second shakes one of the roots. Finally, pick up a fourth rock and use
it with the left side of the cliff, exactly when the third shakes one of the
roots. The result would be the drop of a rock at the lava field, through the
exit of the middle side of the cliff.
100. Leave and go to father Allegro Rasputin, at the cathedral and say to him,
"I'd like to take another test ride on your matrimonial lava plunge".
101. Pass to the pool of lava, walk for a while and use the lone palm tree,
which you can use as a bridge.
102. Leave and go to the monkey village (In order to enter the village, you
need to avoid the monkeys of the clearing). Say to the monkey, who is sitting
on the barrel:
*Hey, neat hat!
*What do you mean 'hat of honor'?
*What exactly is the Monkey Combat?
*Well, how does it work?
103. Go in front of the musically inclined monkey, who plays the accordion,
take in your hands the shields and play them. Pick up the accordion from the
ground.
104. Leave and go to the cluttered clearing (above the beach). Pick up the
coconut from the shanty.
105. Walk a bit further and introduce yourself to Herman. Then, use (in the
order referred) the coconut, the milk bottle and the accordion with him, so
that he recovers his memory. Then, say to him whatever you want.
Note: If you hit Herman with the above objects, but in different order or if
you hit him more than once with one of the above objects or if you hit him with
another object, then he will not recover his memory. What you should do, in
order to fix the situation is to hit him only with the coconut, as many times
as it takes, so that he loses completely his memory again or so that he says "I
don't still remember you". Then, continue with the other two objects regularly.
106. Leave and go to the clearing, before Monkey Town. In order to challenge
Jojo Jr, in Monkey Combat, you need practicing with the monkeys, located there.
Some movements are superior to some others. When you have three victories in
the row, Guybrush will say that he is ready to challenge Jojo Jr. and then you
go to the Monkey Town and say to him, "I challenge you to Monkey Combat!".
Note: There is no walkthrough at this point, even if it is one of the most
difficult parts of the game, because the superior movements, as well as the
commands for movement - to - movement change are not the same from game to
game. You should notice the opponent's words and their effect, as well as which
movement is superior to another. There are two tables with blank fields cited
bellow. Fill them in.
____________________ ___________________________
|NAME ABBR.| |MOVEMENT|SUPERIOR MOVEMENTS|
|Anxious Ape AA | |AA |.... |.... |

----------------------------------------------
Table 4: Words for movement - to - movement change (It can be filled in)
* Note 1: In the case of the movement - to - movement change, the command is
valid for the opposite too. E.g.: If, is valid: For BB to AA the command is o -
a - c, then is also valid: For AA to BB the command is o - a - c. That is why
the half table is not intended to be filled in.
Note 2: If someone does not wish to change the movement, he had already done,
he should select three times the same word. In this case, a draw is recorded
and he gets extra bananas, while it is the opponent's turn to attack.
107. When you beat Jojo Jr., Leave and go to the beach. Use three times the
banana picker with the bunch of bananas.
108. Offer Timmy a banana, in order to follow you, leave and hike to the
Canyon. In every screen change, you should offer him a banana.
109. Enter the mine shaft. At the far end of the mine, there is a metal door.
Stop offering bananas to Timmy. Open the vent and use a banana with it. When
Timmy gets in, close the vent and use another banana with the portal.
110. Walk and use the banana picker with the weed whipper.
111. Leave and go to the lava field. Use the weed whipper with the patch of
weeds, around the pool of lava.
112. Leave and go to the world - famous giant monkey head. Use the bronze hat
with the monkey head and the banana picker with the monkey nose.
113. Enter the monkey mouth. Use the Melee Island Gubernatorial Symbol with the
prominent slot, to the left of the ship's wheel.
Act III + (4 Steps)
114. Pick up the really big plank, to the right of the screen and use it with
the left side of the smallest tower.
115. Climb up to the smallest tower and jump on the really big plank.
116. When you are at the tallest tower, use the excessively large switch.
117. Make three draws in the order. Then, say to Elaine whatever you want.
