His only hope now is to rethink his strategies and return back to Monkey Island … But how ?....

Legend has it that there is a ferrymen who is willing to transport any soul anywhere he wishes to go for a fee.. He is only known as ‘The Lost Welshman’…

Perhaps this is the only way for you to return to Monkey Island.. You wonder what would ‘The Lost Welshman’ want from you in order to bring you to your destination..

As you summon the ferryman, he mentioned that you can help him break his curse by bringing him a treasure hidden deep within this great big compass known as the ‘heart of the compass’… By obtaining the ‘heart’ of the great big compass, ‘The Lost Welshman’ can break his spell and not be lost in the seas again.. only when he is no longer lost can he bring you back to Monkey island.. The Lost Welshman then handed you an old scroll with a set of instructions on how to find the heart of the compass…

And so the adventure to seek the heart of this great big compass begins…

I. You travelled to the highest location within this big compass in an attempt to have a better perspective of the whole area.. The highest point takes you to the continent of ‘AFRICA’, as indicated by the markings on the floor…



II. As you wonder around you decided to go to the opposite side of ‘AFRICA’ where a great big pirate ship is awaiting…nearby, you notice a big TELESCOPE for you to look around.. The TELESCOPE points to a specific interesting location in the continent of ‘AMERICAS’.




III. As you head for the location in the continent of ‘AMERICAS’, there seems to be some kind of sign on the door.. You take note of the numbers VW and XY inscribed on this wooden door…

IV. Looking back at the old scroll instructions handed to you by the ‘Lost Welshman’, you know that you have to head somewhere away from this big compass..It says to cross the 'rivers of flowing metal' to the other side at the location
N 1 23.(W)(W+W+V)(Y)
E 103 53.(W+V+X)(W-V)(W+W)
You need to go up to the location where you can see the clear blue skies..
V. You searched and finally found the lost heart of the great big compass.. The ‘Lost Welshman’ is overwhelmed with joy that the curse on him have been broken.. He is now free to roam the seven seas without fear of being lost..

And so, you begin the slow journey back from Puerto Pollo back to Monkey Island on the ferrymen’s boat .. deep in your heart still worrying and wondering how can you ever defeat the Ghost Pirate LeChuck in your next adventure…
