Bill’s starts out simple, just Guybrush screwing over someone to take advantage of the situation, but when you get to the end, you’ll have met a guy terrified of a giant chicken, El Pollo Diablo. What I loved about this sequence is how ridiculous it gets. And Bill, well, you just need to be extremely friendly, get his jawbreaker candy and use that to relieve someone else of the pressures of jewelry teeth.

The barbers are Haggis McMutton, Cutthroat Bill and Edward Van Helgen. Thankfully for him there’s a trio of pirate barbers in Puerto Pollo. As with every title in the series, the great hero and Mighty Pirate, Guybrush Threepwood needs to find a crew and a worthy vessel. It’s from The Curse of Monkey Island: the Recruitment.
