“Welcome to the Monkey Island 2: Special Edition: Speed Demon Steam Achievement Only Guide! This guide is designed to help you obtain the Speed Demon achievement, but I recommend playing through the game at least once before using this guide. This will allow you to fully enjoy the game and get a feel for the mechanics. Please note that this guide only covers the Speed Demon achievement and you may need to refer to another guide for the other achievements. I have played through the game three times to ensure accurate and helpful tips. Be sure to use the backspace key to skip time-wasting cut scenes and utilize multiple monitors if possible. Windowed mode can also be helpful for quick pausing. Additionally, you can use the F12 key to capture important information, such as the lyrics to the ‘bone song’. If you’re on track with my completion times for the first three parts, you should be able to achieve the 3 hour mark. Happy gaming!”
