This is it, the moment some have been waiting for. Guybrush is back on Monkey Island, and there’s nothing that’s going to get in his way now. Well, unless there are a few more puzzles involved. It’s all been building up to this, so don’t let these last few trials keep you from the sweet conclusion that awaits you in Return to Monkey Island.
It’s a straightforward path to the caverns below the monkey head on Monkey Island (ignoring the dive to certain death you need to take), but eventually, you will come to a split in the path with a message stating that you need to be an organized pirate to get through. This will start the final three challenges of the game. If you’re ready, here’s how to solve all three monkey statue puzzles in Return to Monkey Island.
How to solve the first monkey statue puzzle
Starting with the room on the right, you will encounter several statues all missing something. Here’s what they need in order.
Step 1: Use the empty grog mug on the monkey’s hand.

Step 3: Before leaving, pick up the pebble.
Step 4: Use your knife on the frustrated monkey’s hand.
Step 5: Pick up the coin in the next room.
Step 6: Use the crackers with the statue of the monkey and parrot.
