Trying to complete the eyepatch puzzle in Return to Monkey Island? Here’s what you need to do to get it from the display case at the Museum of Pirate Lore.
The eyepatch puzzle is one of the first you encounter in Return to Monkey Island, as you try to secure a magical eyepiece that’ll let you disguise yourself so you can get onto LeChuck’s ship and set sail. While the game does give you a hint book that you can grab at the International House of Mojo, it only lays things out one step at a time, so doesn’t give you a complete puzzle overview.
Here I’ll explain every step you need to complete to steal the eyepatch from the Museum of Pirate Lore and to recharge it so that it works. This guide will contain some story details for part one, so if you want to experience it for yourself, you may want to leave. I’ve also included a gallery of screens that you can cycle through to see some of the tougher steps and item locations.How to solve the eyepatch puzzle in Return to Monkey Island

There are two things you need to leave Mêlée Island and continue Guybrushes‘ quest to find the secret of Monkey Island: a mop and a way to disguise yourself so you can join LeChuck’s crew unrecognised.
