This is not just a walkthrough, this is an achievement grabbing speed run walkthrough for the Special Edition version of Monkey Island 2, LeChuck's revenge. Of course it can be entirely used as a regular walkthrough where I've cut out paragraphs of text and just given you clear cut instructions on what to do and when to do it. This is written with a speed run in mind that will unlock the 'Speed Demon' Achievement which is worth 25G. To get this, you must complete the game in under three hours.
For a speed run it’s advised to skip through all dialogue by holding down ‘Y’ on the controller. You can finish the game in just over an hour by doing this, the achievement requires you to finish it in under 3 hours so it’s likely you can read the dialogue and still get the achievement, provided you know where you’re going and what you’re doing. Still, if you’ve played this game before I recommend skipping all dialogue and cutscenes to speed things up.
If you’re trying to get all the achievements you should not at any point during the game press ‘X’ or ‘LB’ as this will use object highlighting and hints which will void 'Monkey Master', 'Free Thinker' and 'Turning the Lights Out' worth 40G collectively.
If you’ve never played this game before then you should probably do a speed run on your second playthrough as the dialogue is fantastic and you won’t want to miss out on it. During a speed run, save frequently so if you take too long on something (i.e. you go idle for a bit) you can just reload and try it again, but faster. Please note all items are highlighted in typical fox-coloured orange so you can easily see where things are, so anyway, let's get to it.
