It sure feels good to take that eyeball necklace off! I left the ship and prepared to make my way back through the catacombs. “I don’t think it’s very useful in its present form” was the response, so clearly I was thinking the right way. I tested this theory by trying to use the root on the drunken pirate that was lying on the steps between the lower and upper decks. Surely I wouldn’t be able to just wander into his cabin and destroy him?! It was at this point that I recalled that I needed to take the root back to the cannibals to have it mixed into a batch of “enzymatic ghost-dissolving solution”. When it was finally open, I grabbed the root within, surprised that I’d gotten my hands on the downfall of LeChuck so easily. I used the tools on the crate, at which point Guybrush set to work breaking through the numerous forms of protection that LeChuck had placed on it. Once again I had a fair idea what this new item might be for, so made my way back to the glowing crate beneath the deck. There was however a collection of ghost tools on the wall next to him, which I was able to add to my inventory. I had to assume that Elaine was in the room beyond, but there didn’t appear to be any way to get past the pirate. Through the door I found a sleeping ghost pirate lying in front of a locked door. As expected, I was able to use the grease on the door to stop it from squeaking, and then opened the door without drawing any attention to myself. This allowed me to walk over and collect a glob of the grease, which I immediately took with me back up to the ship’s deck. The rat drank it up immediately, and then rolled onto its back, unconscious. It seemed obvious to me that the grease would be used to open the creaking door up on the deck, but how was I going to get past the huge, vicious rat guarding the way? There was an empty dish in front of it, suggesting that it was hungry or thirsty, so when I noticed that one of the other rats looked drunk, I thought I’d try filling the dish with grog. Within I found a room filled with ghost rats, behind which I could see a large tub of cooking grease.
Well once I had it, I was able to go back into the ship's underbelly and through the hatch that had previously been locked.
You may recall that I’d just figured out how to get the key off the wall in LeChuck’s cabin. I’ve completed The Secret of Monkey Island, and boy was it an enjoyable ride! I was actually a lot closer to the end than I realised when my last session ended, so I don’t imagine it will take me all that long to finish this off. Let's go see what this key gives me access to!
