100% Achievement Guide
By Dorxel
Since all of the Achievements are secret I thought it would be a good idea to provide an overview over what has to be done in order to collect all of them in two or less walkthroughs. This guide will contain minor spoilers.

Non-Missable Achievements
Achievements that will unlock automatically as you proceed through the story.
Largo Embargo Complete
Complete Part One: Largo Embargo.
Four Map Pieces Complete
Complete Part Two: Four Map Pieces.
LeChuck's Fortress Complete
Complete Part Three: LeChuck's Fortress.
A True Pirate
Complete the game.
Missable Achievements
Achievements that have a chance of being missed, though some of them are very obvious.
Speed Demon
Finish the game in under three hours.




If you have difficulties with this on your own, leave a walkthrough of the game open to consult whenever you're stuck.
Monkey Master
Beat the game without using one hint.
Free Thinker
Beat the game using fewer than 10 hints.
Keeping it Old School
Switch to classic mode at least once.
Five Minutes Later
Allow Guybrush to die.




Note: "Allow Guybrush to die" requires you to wait around 5 minutes during the scene in "Le Chuck's Fortress" were Wally and Guybrush are hanging over an acid bath. The game will not be Game Over afterwards, but simply restart at the beginning of the scene.
Turning the Lights Out
Complete the game by using object highlighting five times or less.
Helium Inhaler
Guybrush inhales some helium.




Note: "Helium Inhaler" is awarded for filling your balloon or glove with helium in the underground bunker at the end of "Le Chuck's Fortress" in the room with the gas bottle and vending machine. When you just "use" it in your inventory right after filling, the achievement will pop up.
Call 9-1-1
Call the LucasArts helpdesk when walking through the jungle on Dinky Island.




Note: "Call 9-1-1" is possible to achieve when walking around the jungle on Dinky Island after completing "Four Map Pieces". You must not exit the jungle while switching between around five jungle screens before you will find the phone hanging on a tree.

Also, I do not think that this counts towards the "hints" achievements, but if anybody should know differently, please inform me!

You may want to add under Keeping it Old School that you can switch to classic mode using the F1 key.
