Action

Guybrush is looking for the treasure of Big Whoop. At the beginning of the story, Guybrush goes after Scabb Iceland, where it is to give an indication of the location of the treasure. The island is dominated by Largo LaGrande, however, LeChuck's old lieutenant. By means of a voodoo spell Guybrush frees the island of Largos reign of terror; However, he loses LeChuck's beard (which he had kept as a trophy ) to this. With the beard succeeds Largo to revive the pirate LeChuck as a zombie.

Guybrush sets off to find the four cards parts of the island where the treasure Big Whoop outsourced. Looking Guybrush meets, among others, back to Elaine, who had meanwhile separated from him. Moreover, it turns out that the card was once the possession of Captain Horatio Torquemada Marley, Elaine's grandfather, and his crew; all four owners of this card have come or lost after its discovery under mysterious circumstances to death.

When he has the four cards parts found, it must find that the cartographer Wally, he needs to identify the island on the map, was kidnapped by LeChuck. Guybrush therefore flock to the fort, where he learns of Wally, that the name of the island, he is looking for, Dinky Iceland is. In the fortress Guybrush triggers an explosion that randomly throws him on that island.

When he finds a treasure chest there, Elaine Marley appears, however, Guybrush falls into an underground duct system before they can rescue him. There he meets LeChuck, whom he defeated with a homemade voodoo doll. As Guybrush reduces his his mask, he finds that his brother Chuckie LeChuck is supposedly. Finally, the two are also invited from the transition system. Guybrush and Chuckie, now in the form of children, are located in a modern amusement park in the company of their parents.

In clear contrast to this slightly surreal conclusion we can see that flash of Chuckie's eyes threatening, and Dinky Iceland remains Elaine back, which are increasingly wondering about Guybrush's absence.
