The Secret of Donkey Island is a parody adventure game based on The Secret of Monkey Island. It was developed by two Czech teenagers and has now been released as freeware with a recent English translation. You play as Gajbras Tripvud, stranded on an unknown pair of islands and trying to find his way home.

Exploring the Island

Walk along the path into the forest to see the island overview, then head to the east coast of the island and pick up the bottle from the sand, then also pick up some water from the ocean. Leave here to return to the map, then go to the volcano. Pick up some clover from the ground on the left, then leave again.

Next head to the hut. Pick up some chopped wood and a wooden paddle from outside the hut, then open the door and go inside. Take the knife from the left, then talk to the red curtain on the right. Use your water on the fire to put it out. Go back outside. Walk around behind the hut, then climb in through the chimney. Look at the pile of junk twice to get a pump. Now press the red button on the left.

Mother's Milk

Go to the big tree. Pick up the stone from the ground and use it to sharpen your knife. Walk to the right to be further into the jungle. Use your knife on the main tree here to remove some bark, then collect some rubber sap in your bottle. Walk left twice to leave this area.

Head to the jungle just to the left of the volcano, then walk further to the left. Talk to the donkey and ask him to fix your pump. Next ask for an inflatable boat, and give him your clover as payment. Also make sure to ask the donkey about the inhabitants of the island, then about the temple ruins. Use your boat of rubber sap on the top of the machine, and you will end up with a rubber bag. Head right twice to leave this area.

Go to the east coast again. Use the pump on the rubber bag to inflate the boat, then add the paddle. Use the boat and paddle on the ocean, then walk to the boat to use it. On the smaller island, shake the coconut palm, then pick up the coconut. Use the coconut and you will drink its milk. Shake the coconut palm and pick up another coconut. Go right to find a tombstone. Pick up the anchor from next to it, then look at the tombstone. Talk to Captain Kid about everything, then ask if you can have his red crystal. Return left and row back to the main island.

Return to the hut. Head inside and talk to the red curtain, then offer the coconut to the magician - you will receive a red magical scroll in return.

Forest Scent

Go outside and leave this area, then head back to the big tree. Use the red magical scroll here to reveal a small lever in the tree. Pull the lever, then go through the opening in the base of the tree. Talk to the nest, then talk to the bird, who will give you a green leaf. Pick up the vine hanging to the right. Walk back through the opening to return to the ground, then head right. Talk to the flower on the right - be nice and mention the flower's nice smell, then ask for it to perfume your leaf. Look at the leaf in your inventory. Go left twice.

Return to the hut. Head inside and talk to the red curtain, then offer the perfumed leaf to the magician - you will receive a blue magical scroll in return.

Death of the Sea

Go outside and leave this area, then head back to the jungle. Use the blue magical scroll here to transform the tree. Try to grab the sausages hanging from the tree - you will succeed on the 6th attempt. Leave here and go to the beach on the southwest of the island.

In your inventory, use your vine on the anchor, then use the anchor on the sausages. Tie the anchor to the palm tree here. Walk over towards the path leading away from the beach, and you will end up catching a shark. Look at the shark, then take one of its teeth. Look at the tooth in your inventory. Leave the beach now.

Return to the hut. Head inside and talk to the red curtain, then offer the shark tooth to the magician - you will receive a green magical scroll in return.

Glitter of the Ocean

Go outside and leave this area, then head to the cape at the far west. Use the green magical scroll here to develop the ability to breath underwater. Pick up the boulder and you will fall down to the bottom of the sea. Pick up the chest and the pearl. Use the boulder you are carrying and you will drop it, so you can swim back up to the surface. Look at the pearl in your inventory. Leave the cape.

Return to the hut. Head inside and talk to the red curtain, then offer the pearl to the magician - you will receive a white magical scroll in return.

Donkey Temple

Go outside and leave this area, then return to the big tree. Go through the opening so you are up high in the tree, then use the chest and you will drop it to the ground, breaking it open. Head back down to the ground and pick up the blue crystal. Now head to the volcano. Use your chopped wood on the lava, and you will cross to the other side.

Enter through the nose of the giant stone donkey head. Read the inscription, then insert the red crystal into the left nostril, and the blue crystal into the right nostril. Now go out through the opening on the right, then up to the large stone platform. After a cutscene, you will be down inside the volcano crater. Use the white magical scroll here to get some useful items. Use your new hammer on the dark part of the stone wall to break through.

Try to walk to the wooden door on the right. Try to use your hammer on LeGek, then talk to him and say you are sorry.
