As Gilbert puts it, "This was like the Manhattan Project of games. In fact, they suggest that the secrets of the game have been kept tightly guarded. It might also answer the other long-standing question that's gone unexplored for many years - what is the "secret of Monkey Island"? Gilbert and Grossman don't provide many hints in the IGN interview. Return to Monkey Island, which will be Gilbert and Grossman's long-awaited first work in the Monkey Island series since 1991, will pick up right where Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge left off, potentially providing an alternative answer to the question of what exactly happened at the end of LeChuck's Revenge.
It's been explained away as weird voodoo magic attempting to trick Guybrush rather than as an act. Use the key ring that Stan gave you on all of the light switches to turn them off and. That plot twist was a major sticking point for fans and one that was ignored near-entirely in subsequent sequels. When you get to the recreation of Melee Island, leave the alleyway and get the keys from Stan. This was followed by the reveal that the two were simply pre-teens in an amusement park the whole time. In the final moments of that game, protagonist Guybrush Threepwood and his arch-nemesis, the pirate LeChuck, face off in a voodoo-themed battle that leads to LeChuck's apparent death. Gilbert and series co-creator Dave Grossman left the Monkey Island franchise on a bizarre note in 1991, with the divisive ending of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.
