THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND: SPECIAL EDITION PATCH
This issue was resolved with Patch 1.01 so if you are using a NA account, please make sure you are up to date on your patches. There was also a leaderboard freezing issue in the NA version. Nevertheless, look out for lag during your interactions with them. I have kept interactions with them at a minimum in the walkthrough and in playing the game over two accounts three times each, I never experienced any freezing. The freeze was known to occur the most when you talk to the Men of Low Moral Fibre on Melee Island. There were freezing issues reported when the Special Edition for came out on both NA and EU versions. The walkthrough can be found here: 100% Trophy Walkthrough The Ten Minutes Later… trophy will add ten minutes to your run as you wait for Guybrush to die so attempt it on your speedrun only if you think you can manage the time. Getting all 16 pirate insults for the Sharp Tongue trophy can take extra time as it is random which insults the pirates send your way at times but the responses you need for a later fight are worth the work. This walkthrough should give you the ability to complete your first run within the three-hour time, but it is dependent on two items that can slow you down. Whether you choose to play through the game 1 and ½ times at your leisure and then go for the speed run after or if you want to attempt the speedrun on your first attempt, I have created a more streamlined walkthrough of the game for you to use. The final two missable trophies you may want to read up on before starting the game are Ten Minutes Later… and Escape Artist just so you don't miss the opportunity to get them on your first run. In total, there are 7 missable trophies, so please read through this guide paying particular attention to the ones mentioned above, especially the Determined trophy and the Marooned Everyone trophy at the onset of the gameplay.
To complete the trophy list for this game you will need to consider these missable trophies: Completing the game in under 3 hours ( Human Cannonball), never using the hint system ( Determined), playing through the game for the canonical ending, then replaying the last third of the game on the same save file for the second ending ( Marooned Everyone), as well as collecting 9 notes scattered around Monkey island ( Recordkeeper) and learning all 16 of the pirate swashbuckling insults and responses ( Sharp Tongue). Humor and a set of fairly simple puzzles are what we come to expect from these designers and the LucasArts line of games, and this game does not disappoint in either regard. The Secret of Monkey Island, the 1990 LucasArts point-and-click graphic adventure created by Ron Gilbert, with the help of Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer, has been remastered with more point-and-click accessibility as well as a hand drawn art style that can be swapped with the original display and graphics at any time.
