Information About

Voodoo Lady




Though she has been featured in every game, her name has never been revealed; she is usually referred to simply as "The Voodoo Lady".


APPEARANCES


The Voodoo Lady is a very minor character in ''The Secret of Monkey Island''. For the most part, she provides a bit of "spooky" atmosphere early in the game. Although speaking directly to her is not required to complete the game, Guybrush must enter her shop to acquire a Rubber Chicken with a pulley in the middle. Optionally, she can predict Guybrush's future, which involves sailing to Monkey Island , entering a giant monkey, and either being helped or eaten by the Monkey Island Cannibal s.

In ''Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge'', she has opened the ''International House of Mojo'' on Scabb Island. In addition to providing much helpful information, she creates a voodoo doll of Largo LaGrande and gives Guybrush a book on the legend of Big Whoop.

Her shop in ''The Curse of Monkey Island'' is in a ship half-sunk in a on Elaine can only be lifted by replacing the cursed Diamond Engagement Ring with an uncursed diamond ring. She does, however, mention that a suitable diamond is in the possession of Pirate s on Blood Island .

In ''Escape from Monkey Island'', she again runs a business on Mêlée Island. She tells Guybrush about the "Ultimate Insult", a powerful and dangerous voodoo Talisman , and helps him find its components.


TRIVIA

  • In ''The Curse of Monkey Island'', The International House of Mojo is located inside a ship that was thrown into a swamp by a Typhoon .

  • Although the Voodoo Lady's store is called "The International House of Mojo" in most of the games, her business had no name in ''The Secret of Monkey Island''. (A sign across the street read "Ye Olde Rubber-Chicken-with-a-pulley-in-the-middle-shoppe", but this was for a different business that Guybrush never entered.)

  • The Voodoo Lady seems to have a tendency to exaggerate her involvement in past games.

  • Her voice was provided by Leilani Jones Wilmore in ''The Curse of Monkey Island'' and ''Escape from Monkey Island''.

  • In ''EMI'', the Voodoo Lady hints that she has an unbreakable five-game Contract with LucasArts. Although many fans hold out hope that this means there will be a fifth Monkey Island game, this is far from certain. Hardcore fans' lukewarm response to ''EMI'', LucasArts' recent cancellation of sequels to '' Sam & Max Hit The Road '' and '' Full Throttle '', and the current status of adventure games in general tend to indicate that the future of the Monkey Island series is questionable at best.
