Performed The Ole Switcheroo With The Replica Flag

How to unlock the Flag Facsimile achievement in Return to Monkey Island - Definitive Guide

This cannot be done on Casual difficulty, as you don't get the Replica Flag on Casual. Other than that, this is missable if you don't swap the flag on the ship and instead just take it.

After getting Stan's improved Scurvy flyer and a replica flag from the museum on Melee Island, you must go to the ship adrift at sea and show the pirates there the flyer to board their ship. Once onboard, replace the flag on their ship with the replica flag and achievement unlocked.

This can be missed if you do the swap with the map in the museum before going to the ship and doing the swap. It did not unlock swapping at the museum and just taking the flag from the ship without a swap.

@DoG Suey ID has the best solution.

I fucked it up so I have to redo a lot of stuff, but doesn't really matter, because you have to spend a lot of time ingame for the trivia cards anyway.

Yeah just to add the replica flag is the one in the glass case that is stolen by feeding the parrots. The real flag is in the backroom.

I’ve done the ole switcheroo now multiple times on different playthroughts but it’s never unlocking. I made sure to get the fake flag from the museum, inspected everything, replaced the flag on the ship by taking the replica and interacting with the original flag (just like the comment from DoG Suey ID says). All to no avail…
Does anyone else have an idea what I could try? Thanks

Yes, just to clarify and reiterate, doing this must be done in a certain order.

1. Steal the replica flag from the museum.
DO NOT STEAL REAL MUSEUM FLAG
2. Use replica flag on ship flag.
DO NOT TAKE SHIP FLAG AND THEN TRY TO PUT UP REPLICA

If you take the real flag from the museum storeroom before swapping the one on the ship, you will not be able to get this achievement. Also, I believe if you take the flag from the ship instead of using the fake flag on it, you will not be able to get this achievement.

This achievement is missable and can only be done in Part 4 and you need to play the game on Hard Mode. First, you need to steal the replica flag from the museum on Mêlée Island. Then, you need to swap the flag on the adrift ship with the replica flag you stole. Take note that you need to do it BEFORE you steal the real flag from the museum.

After getting the flag from the Pirate Museum on Meleê Island during part IV, you can examine it in your inventory to find out it's only a replica.

Once you're able to get onto the adrift ship with a scurvy ridden crew, you can get one of the original flags. But instead of just grabbing it, use the replica flag from your inventory on the original flag to perform "the ole switcheroo", and unlock the achievement.
