How to unlock the Recordkeeper achievement in The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition - Definitive Guide

Recordkeeper
----------------

For this one you have to find and read all memos on Monkey Island. Just remember to get this one before you enter the Monkey Head.

1. On the beach directly south of the fort.
- from the cannibals to Herman

2. Close to the ancient rock firing device (before you use it)
- from Herman to the cannibals

3. Close to the ancient rock firing device (after you use it)
(thanks to AraknidX)

4. Next to the dam you blow up. Beneath a small flint rock.
- from the cannibals to LeChuck

5. The pond where you find a body and some rope.
- from LeChuck to the cannibals

6. The beach closest to the Monkey Head clearing. In a bottle.
- to Herman from his attorneys

7. The beach closest to the cannibal village
- from Herman to the cannibals

8. Inside the cannibals' hut.
- from the cannibals to LeChuck

- There is also a note on a tree on the first beach where you land. This one probably doesn't count since you don't pick it up.

You can get 2 notes near the ancient rock firing device. First one is there to start with, but the 2nd appears after you have launched a rock with it.

Not sure whether both are needed to get the achievement but if anyone has picked up the 7 mentioned in the solution and has not got the achievement check the rock firing device again.

Both of the notes near the rock thrower are needed for the achievement. Thanks for that tip AraknidX!

The first one on the tree does count, on my speed run I passed it up to save time, and ended up getting all others. On the save right before I skipped it again and came back for a quick laugh to get it.

Just a quick note on this.

Some of the notes are found in order, meaning that depending on the order you get the notes, you might find diferent text for the same place in diferent playthrough.

It does not change this solution, but it might help you understand why you havent found note X on spot Y.

Regards,

Thanks to the Xbox One DVR, I am able to offer a video guide as an extension to the great guides featured above. This should save a little time in your achievement hunting.

Play through the game as normal. In this case, you'll find note 6 in the Pond area, which holds another important item after you've broken the dam. I've fast forwarded through the stuff you'll find in walkthroughs.

Missable)

Once you arrive on Monkey Island, there will be 9 notes you will need to select "Look at" to read. Their locations are as follows:

  • Note #1 will be posted on the banana tree when you land on Monkey Island
  • Note #2 can be found on the beach south of the large volcano on the west side of the island
  • At the River Fork, there will be a rock (flint) on top of the next note, pick up the rock and "Look at" Note #3
  • From previous note, cross the bridge and climb the foothold to the next screen. On the ground, next to the "primitive art" (Rock catapult) will be Note #4 [Please take note, after climbing the foothold to the next level and using the rock catapult, This note will be replaced with another so make sure to "Look at" this note before using the catapult]
  • After launching a rock at the banana tree, climb back down to the catapult and there will be a new note on the ground. "Look at" Note #5
  • Use gunpowder, flint and the cannonball on the dam next to where Note #3 was located to break the dam and create a new Pond area on the map, send Guybrush there to collect Note #6
  • Note #7 is in bottle on the skinny beach linking the main island and the eastern clearing location. You will walk through this area with the monkey or you can row there in the boat. Look at the bottle to read the note
  • Note #8 is on the north beach you dock at to go to the village
  • Note #9 is found inside the Cannibal's hut when you are caught
