The Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge Iceberg Explained (30+ Facts about Monkey Island 2)

by



The Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge Icerberg dives deep into facts, trivia, and theories about Guybrush Threepwood’s second adventure. Monkey Island 2 was released in 1991 following the success of the first game in the series, The Secret of Monkey Island.

It’s a bigger, bolder adventure that sees the mighty pirate sail around new islands in the tri-island area. He’s been dumped by Elaine Marley and has had a successful run as a pirate. His pockets are stuffed with cash, and he embarks on a new adventure to secure his legacy.

Guybrush seeks the fabled treasure of Big Whoop, and to do so must collect the 4 treasure map pieces in order to find the X that marks the spot. Helped along the way by the Voodoo Lady, Wally the cartographer, and a whole host of unwitting characters. LeChuck returns from death, this time in his zombie pirate form! He vows revenge on Guybrush, and the two meet in an epic battle of the wits once more.

This is the Monkey Island:2 LeChuck’s Revenge Icerberg Explained.

  2. Great video! Even though my main language is Spanish, I played all the Lucas Arts games in English. The early games, I played with a dictionary at hand, but by the time Monkey Island 2 was released I was already fluent enough to understand everything. It's been too long to remember if I solved the monkey wrench puzzle by luck or reason, but I was familiar with the tool's name since there was a monkey wrench on Zak McCracken. I always thought the puzzle was a funny pun, it was years later that I learned how controversial that puzzle was for non native English speakers.

    Wow, I had never seen Wally's cell in LeChuck's fortress, that's so cool… and I thought, after playing it hundreds of times in the last 30 years, I had seen everything in this game! 😀

  3. One thing I like to add: There's a big difference between MI1 and MI2.
    In MI1 we are IN the world and Guybrush isn't aware of this world not being real.
    In MI2 Guybrush mentions at least 5 to 10 times he's in a (pirate) game. (Just finished the game again to prepare for the upcoming release and this really stood out)

    The start of Monkey Island 3 never made much sense to me and although I like the game for what it is, I never felt it was a true MI successor.

  4. It doesn't surprise me that that was the original, intended ending all along. Thimbleweed Park also had a terrible ending along those same lines. I hope the next game gets around this somehow. The simplest way is to have Guybrush wake up at the bottom of the hole he fell down, and the MI2 ending was due to hitting his head. That makes the "all a dream ending of MI2" actually all a dream as well. Which is kind of stupid, but I suspect it would be less bad than a complicated plot around a cursed Voodoo themepark, and would allow the game to continue with a new story.

  11. I’m very excited about Return to Monkey Island. I was hoping that the real secret of Monkey Island would be revealed and it looks like it will be. Thank you gamers for at least one last game in the franchise and allowing Gilbert to be a part of it.

  12. A Pirates Of The Carribean free DLC by Disney came out a while ago and theres a Monkey Island easter egg where they mention Guybrush. Search it on YT bro! Closest we will probably get to a collab!
