Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How do I get rid of the monkey holding the windmill sail?
1 of 6: You can't shoo him away -- and Mina is too kind to kill it (even if she could).
2 of 6: Again, it's a good thing you've got a monkey for a companion!
3 of 6: Perhaps it's a friend of Jep -- or, at least, a monkey he can communicate with.
4 of 6: But Jep will do better if he takes something with him.
5 of 6: Any food you have in inventory should work. (The monkey particularly likes grapes.)
6 of 6: Give Jep some food, and send him on his way, and watch him talk to the other monkey, who will then leave and free up the windmill to turn.
