Question: so I finished the game and have saves on part 4&5 that I still need but my tracker for Bragging is at 93%, probably only need one more. If I start a new game to get them will it wipe out my saves I have on part 4&5? Or should I just wait until I have Cogg Island achievement (never got that card) and the rest of my cards?

I missed the very first dialog with the voodoo lady which had this as a third (maybe second) option and it never came back... Will the option return?

But it will remember all the others, I also missed the voodoo lady and it popped when I started a new game and picked her right conversation option.

To unlock the achievement, you will need to interact with 15 characters throughout different parts of the story. This achievement is HIGHLY MISSABLE, as you will need to select specific dialogue lines; some lines will disappear if others are selected before them and will be lost unless you reload a save and interact with that character again. I recommend going into the settings and activating the "Writer's Cut" option. This adds extra dialogue and characters; by doing this, you can unlock this achievement in Part 1 instead of Part IV.

The lines usually refer to Guybrush bragging about going on an adventure to discover the Secret of the Monkey Island, but sometimes the line is "hidden" after some other dialogue options related to the expedition.

The steps:

During Part I, you can brag to 14 characters on Mêlée Island without the "Writer's Cut" mode activated:
1. The Lookout (old man) - you will talk with him at the beginning of Part I; his lines are counted automatically as you inform him of your every plan.

2. The three new Pirate Leaders - in the Docks area, at the Scumm Bar, when talking to them to receive funding/finance for the expedition, select the line: "I am going to find The Secret of Monkey Island!"

3. Three/Four/Five. The three pirates at the entrance of the Scumm Bar: the woman at the keg, the woman sitting at the table, and the man sitting at the table - after talking to the three new Pirate Leaders, interact with each one of them and Guybrush will automatically say "I am going to find The Secret of Monkey Island!"

6. The Cook - in the Docks area, in the kitchen of the Scumm Bar, select the line: "Did I mention I'm going to find The Secret of Monkey Island?"

7. Cobb - in the Docks area, in the Scumm Bar, after he spawns at the table, select the line: "I am going to find The Secret of Monkey Island! Wanna come?"

8. Wally - in the Low Street area, at his shop Wally's Maps-n-more when it's open, select the line: "You wouldn't happen to have a map to The Secret of Monkey Island?"

9. The Voodoo Lady - in the Low Street area, when encountering her for the first time at her shop, the International House of Mojo, select the line: "I'm going in search of The Secret of Monkey Island!"

10. Governor Carla - in the Governor's Mansion, when encountering her for the first time during the swordfight, select the lines: "I've got my own project cooking," followed by "I'm looking for the Secret of Monkey Island."

11. Locke Smith - in the High Street area, in her shop, select the line: "I'm on a quest to find The Secret of Monkey Island!"

12. Otis - in the High Street area, within the Jail, in the right cell, select the line: "Big news: I'm going after The Secret of Monkey Island!"

13. Stan - in the High Street area, within the Jail, in the left cell, select the line: "I'm going after The Secret of Monkey Island!"

14. Curator Conrad - Just past the Forest, within the Museum of Pirate Lore, select the line: "I'm going to find the legendary Secret of Monkey Island!"

15. Low Moral Fiber (Pirates) - in the Low Street, left of Wally's Maps-n-More shop, select the line: "How would you like to back my venture to find The Secret of Monkey Island!" (They will only appear in Part 1 if you activated writers cut)

During Part IV, if you did not activate the writer cut you can visit these individuals:

15(B). Former Pirate Leader - in the High Street area, within the Fish shop, select the line: "I'm hunting for The Secret of Monkey Island!"

Might be worth mentioning well for me anyway I started a second run on hard and using the writers option. Once I talked to the pirates (15) the achievment unlocked for me (which was only the 4th person I spoke to on this run) as I had previously spoken to everyone else on first run except them so it appears cumulative.

I'm missing 1, but no idea which 1.

As mentioned above, interacting with certain lines can make you miss the ability to tell them you are going to find the secret of Monkey island. Which characters are missable and which aren't?
