Return to Mysterious Island Hints
How do I get up to the windmill?
1 of 8: There are actually two paths that will take you to the windmill.
2 of 8: An indirect approach involves going around the island paths and coming at the windmill from a different direction. However, this way is initially blocked by angry monkeys, and until you can overcome them, you will not be able to pass.
3 of 8: The most direct path is the one that approaches the windmill from below. However, it is impossible to reach the windmill from there at first. It appears that there used to be some stairs here, but they have long ago crumbled.
4 of 8: If you choose to go this way, you'll need to find a way to repair the stairs.
5 of 8: It's unclear what the stairs were originally constructed of. You'll have to make do with what you can find (and use) nearby.
6 of 8: You'll need to repair the stairs using bricks.
