Silly strategies. (on 3rd monkey island tall tale, as soon as you have access to the bottles at the end, put them into a rowboat that is not attached to ship. go back to ship without rowboat, then vote to cancel voyage. once you are in the transition area, black-screen yourself. once you're black screened, sit and wait near/on the rowboat.) you dont need the rowboat, but if you do have it you wont need to swim. if on sloop, the easiest method to black-screen is to repetitively wedge yourself into the ladders I'll probably make a tutorial at some point.
