How to Find LeChuck’s Secrets
After stealing LeChuck’s map and trying to use it to solve the mystery of Monkey Island, Return to Monkey Island Players will find that the map they followed is actually a fake. The real one was intercepted by Captain Madison and the other pirate leaders before it ever reached LeChuck, though they couldn’t do anything with it due to its advanced encryption.
In order for the map to reveal its secrets, the pirate leaders need three of LeChucks; that’s his theme song, his catchphrase, and his favorite food. With Guybrush still able to board LeChuck’s ship, the three leaders agree to share the secret with him if he can help them find this personal information.
How to board LeChuck’s ship
To get back on board LeChuck’s ship, players must go to the Volcano Beach area and then down into the water. If they go a little to the left, they will eventually come to the ship’s anchor and can climb it to get to the side of the ship. From here you can reach the ship’s rudder by walking to the left, or get onto the deck by climbing the ladder to your right.
First, players should go down to the helm and talk to Gullet, who is a bit more comfortable now that Guybrush is in his human form. You have to talk to him through his notebook and then help him with his poems by choosing rhyming words from the options provided. Once the poem is complete, players should ask for the book of poetry and then show him the museum curator’s business card, which will convince him to hand it over Gullet’s Poems Article.
Next, players should go back to the side of the ship and use the ladder to climb onto the deck on the right. Unfortunately, Flair will be waiting for her there and she is not at all happy to see Guybrush. It soon turns out that while Guybrush can technically still set foot on the boat as he was never actually fired, he is no longer welcome there and is unceremoniously thrown overboard.
At this point, players should return to the giant monkey head and explain the situation to the three pirate leaders. Lila will demonstrate that she can use dark magic to disguise Guybrush, though she needs a very personal item from one of LeChuck’s crew members. Luckily, Gullet’s poetry book will work just fine, so players should hand it over to her once the conversation is over. You’ll then be able to read the poems to make Guybrush look like Gullet, effectively giving him unrestricted access to the ship.
How to find the LeChuck theme song
With a new disguise now sorted, players should return to LeChuck’s ship and use the book of poetry to transform before heading to the deck. After a brief chat with Flair, who is moving on with some important work, they are able to have a brief chat with Apple Bob to learn that LeChuck recently hired someone to compose him a theme song.
As it turned out, that person was Flair. Unfortunately, she won’t just pass it, but once players ring the bell to request another vote, she goes back onto the deck and allows players to go down and grab those Grades from above on the barrel in front of the entrance to the kitchen. Examining the stolen sheet music will reveal that LeChuck’s theme song is Do, Do, Mi, Sol, Fa, Fa, Re.
How to find LeChuck’s catchphrase
While below deck, players should pay a visit to LeChuck’s cabin. There, on a shelf to their right, they can grab LeChuck’s diary. As you’d expect, it’s full of his silly ramblings, but if you flip through the pages a little you’ll eventually find yourself on the February 17th entry that gives it away LeChuck’s catchphrase is “Brandish the seven bilges!” Technically, he changes it to something else not too long after, but returns to the February 17 catchphrase at a later date.
Here’s how to find LeChuck’s favorite food
In order to find out LeChuck’s favorite food, players must go back to the deck for the crew members to get back to their business. Once they do that, players should go to the kitchen and talk to Putra. At first she has no interest in helping, but if players call her Boss, she will give it away LeChuck’s favorite food is tentacles with daisy sauce. Players can then return to Volcano Beach and use the knife on the dead squid to get one tentacle. If they give the tentacle to Putra, she will prepare them a portion of it Tentacles with daisy sauce.
