In this chapter, players must join forces with Guybrush Threepwood, the mighty pirate, to stop the evil LeChuck from using the Sword of Souls to conquer the Sea of Thieves.
To do so, players must explore the mysterious Monkey Island, solve puzzles, find clues, and face LeChuck in a duel of insult sword fighting. In this guide, we will show you how to complete the Lair of LeChuck Tall Tale, step by step, with screenshots and tips.
How to Start the Lair of LeChuck Tall Tale?
To start the Lair of LeChuck Tall Tale, you need to have completed the previous two chapters, The Cursed Rogue and The Revenge of LeChuck, and unlocked all the forms in the game.
Then, you need to visit Kate at the Capsize Charters on any Outpost in the Sea of Thieves. Next to Kate, you will find three Tall Tale books on a bench. Interact with the book for the Lair of LeChuck and vote on it to start the Tall Tale. You will also receive a Quest Book that contains hints and instructions for the Tall Tale.
How to Sail to Monkey Island?
After starting the Tall Tale, you will see a portal open in a nearby archway that leads to the Sea of the Damned. Sail through the portal and you will enter a Tunnel of the Damned, which will take you to Monkey Island.
Along the way, you will meet Guybrush Threepwood on board the Black Pearl, who will brew a potion to reach Monkey Island. You don’t need to do anything during this part, just enjoy the ride and the dialogue. Once the potion is ready, your ship will continue to sail through the Tunnel of the Damned until it reaches the end, where you will be teleported to Monkey Island.
How to Dock Your Ship on Monkey Island?
Once you arrive at Monkey Island, you need to dock your ship at a specific spot on the shoreline to unlock a commendation later in the Tall Tale. Sail north towards the island and then turn left and sail northwest around the island.
Look for the spot where the sand stops and the red rock begins. Park your ship about eight paces away from the red rocks and as close to the beach as possible. Make sure your ship is parallel to the beach to give you the most surface area to hit. This is the best spot to dock your ship for the Tall Tale.
How to Meet Guybrush at the Stone Monkey Head?
After docking your ship, you need to meet Guybrush at the giant Stone Monkey Head on the island. However, before you do that, you should find two memoir spots and three of Herman’s notes along the way.
These are optional, but they will help you unlock commendations and learn more about the story. Here are the locations of the memoir spots and Herman’s notes:
- Memoir Spot #1: From your ship, run along the beach heading east. You will eventually come to a lone banana tree. Interact with the tree to listen to Guybrush’s memoir.
- Memoir Spot #2: From the banana tree, continue east along the beach until you reach a shipwreck. Interact with the shipwreck to listen to another memoir.
- Herman’s Note #1: From the shipwreck, head north into the jungle. You will find a campsite with a tent, a fire, and a monkey trap. Interact with the note on the table to read Herman’s note.
- Herman’s Note #2: From the campsite, head west into the jungle. You will find a wooden carving of a monkey head with a key in its mouth. Interact with the key to take it and read Herman’s note.
- Herman’s Note #3: From the monkey head carving, head south into the jungle. You will find a ravine with a bridge and a supply cache. Interact with the cache to open it with the key and read Herman’s note.
After finding the memoir spots and Herman’s notes, you can proceed to meet Guybrush at the Stone Monkey Head. To get there, you need to cross the bridge over the ravine and head west into the jungle.
You will see a large stone head with a door in its mouth. Guybrush will be waiting for you there. Talk to him and he will tell you his plan to stop LeChuck. He will also give you a Cotton Swab Key, which you will need later.
