How to unlock the Monkeys on your back achievement in How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition - Definitive Guide

El Diablo Islands is a DLC area. I suggest doing the main game first as this is about 3X as hard due to enemies when can only be killed a specific way.

There are 6 monkeys. Two in each island. 3 are fetch quests, 3 are find a hidden monkey quests.

All three monkey quests for finding the hidden monkey are only available after beating the story.

1st Island (Horno)

Fetch Quest Monkey:
Jerrycan of Water

You will need a Jerrycan which can be found in many, many places. Seeing as you need a Blower to complete the DLC you can dismantle one. You should probably have a Jerrycan by the time you reach this point though.

There is a well right next to the monkey to fill up the jerrycan with.

2nd island (Cenizas)

Fetch Quest Monkey:
Golden Reel and a short tube.

You create a golden reel by combining a reel with a Red Stone. You can find a short tube and a reel in various little sheds around the map.

If you need a Red Stone you can find one on the first island (La Vendida) in this spot. You will need an explosive (Bottle Full of Gasoline + Piece of Fabric + Chemical Fertilizer) to break open the shed.

3rd island (Ascuas)

Fetch Quest Monkey:
Golden Chalice

Seeing as you only needed 5 golden chalices to beat the monkey quest in the main game, I suggest going back to Santa Barbara Island and picking one up.

There is one on the DLC island, but I couldn't find it.

I found the following on a steam forum. It wasn't much help to me, but if someone else can decipher it it's all yours!

theres one on island 3(dlc), where, if you to south to the ledge from the last area and hop down on it, and run to the next and then the next and then the next again. you will end up beside a lava waterfall. cross it, clear the zombies and pick it up from the ground.
Hidden Monkey Quests

Now we are going to the Hidden Monkey's. They only appear at certain times of the day. So the ideal way to do it is in this order consecutively. I suggest sleeping to advance time if you have to.

You'll need to haul ass from each Monkey to make it to the next one in time to kill every enemy in the area. Otherwise you won't be able to do it in one cycle.

You can check the time by pressing "B" and moving to the Stats menu with LT or RT.

Nice guide, but the place you are pointing to for the red stone is on the first island but that island is called Los Riscos.

Hey, I've finished the main game finding and using all red stones as I was unaware that I would need one for dlc. Now I can't get the golden reel for monkey #2. Any suggestions as how to get around this? I don't really want this achievement to be the reason I can't g this game. :(

You should be able to get a red stone in the DLC.

Also, the times for the hidden monkeys are a little off. Island 2 has a time of 11:00pm when he shows and Island 3 has a time of 4:00am. Island 1 is confirmed at 2:00am and all locations (red arrow on the maps provided) for the hidden monkeys are confirmed.

Island 1...two times now I've been there at 2:00am and I have no prompt to select anything or interact with the monkey, and then he's gone.

Any ideas?

If you can see the monkey but not interact with it, it most likely means there is a zombie nearby. The monkeys will not talk to you until you kill all enemies close to it

I'm worried I've used all the redstones, as I didn't realise you couldn't 'uncombine' an item once you've applied a redstone to it, and I don't think there are any left for me to add to a reel (why would you do that anyway??) so I think I'm shit outta luck and gonna have to play the main quest again just to go to Horno Island and do the monkey quests. What a pain in the backside...

Does anyone know if they can be done across all playthroughs or if it needs to be in a single playthrough? Looks like I've used up all the redstones so can't make a golden reel, therefore can't do all the quests...

From what I can tell there are 8 red stones, I've found 6 so far.

I think Hidden Monkey Quest Island 2 (Cenizas), the time he appears is really 11pm. I got there a little before 10 then hung around until 11pm and that is when he appeared for me.

Hidden Monkey in Cenizas appeared 11pm to me as well, but he just stood there and there wasn't any way I could interact with him. Any way to fix this?

Ok, so I talked to the other Monkey on the island that said to me to find the Hidden Monkey after saying some kind of riddle, then I went to that place at 11pm and could interact with the Hidden Monkey. I believe it has to be done on all 3 islands, talking to the other Monkey to trigger the Hidden one.

There are two monkeys per island (Horno, Cenizas and Ascuas) with one monkey per island showing up normally and one monkey per island as a hidden monkey. The hidden monkeys only show up after you have completed the El Diablo Islands storyline.

  • Horno Island Monkey - He wants a jerrycan filled with water.
  • Cenizas Island Monkey - He wants a Golden Reel (Reel + Red Stone) and a Short Tube.
  • Ascuas Island Monkey - He wants a Golden Chalice that you can get from Santa Barbara Island. There are seven Golden Chalices so there will be two left on the island after you do the quest for the monkey who wants five of them.

Horno Island hidden monkey shows up around 2 a.m.

Cenizas Island hidden monkey shows up during the night.

Ascuas Island hidden monkey shows up around dawn.
