The Best Puzzles in Monkey Island Games (& How to Solve Them)

Part 2 of Return to Monkey Island is a lot more puzzle-oriented than the one which came before it, with players having to overcome a variety of obstacles in order to progress. There's a fair amount of back and forth involved too, though, thanks to the relatively small size of the ship, this isn't nearly as time-consuming as it is in some of the game's other parts.

Part 2 begins with Guybrush trapped down in the ship's hold. Each time players try to head up the ladder, Gullet will tell them that they can't leave until the hold is clean. Each time they try to clean, he'll throw down another huge glob of grease, effectively creating an endless cycle from which there seems to be no obvious escape. However, where there's a will, there often tends to be a way.

After picking up the Pamphlet, players should grab the mop that they made in Part 1 and use it to clean up the patch of grease on the floor. As mentioned above, Gullet will throw down more almost as soon as players have finished cleaning, but that's okay this time. In fact, it ends up working in Guybrush's favor, as with a greasy mop, he'll be able to loosen the screw on the porthole, making it much easier for him to remove them.

There are three screws in total, so players will need to lubricate them all before putting the mop back down, making sure
