QUICK ANSWER
To stop the monkeys attacking you in Hidden Mountain, complete the No Monkey Business puzzle by collecting the Monkey King’s Square, Monkey King’s Mohist Canon, and Monkey King’s Mirror, then submitting them at the Monkey King’s Corpse.

This Hidden Mountain puzzle is built around three Monkey King objects and a final turn-in at the Monkey King’s Corpse. One Version 2.0 note: some early player guidance treats the monkeys as normal hostile wildlife with no global pacify switch, so use this route for the No Monkey Business completion rather than as a menu setting or combat toggle.

Completing the turn-in unlocks the No Monkey Business achievement. After that completion, the Hidden Mountain monkeys tied to this puzzle stop attacking you.

Route mistakes that make the Monkey King puzzle harder

The most common mistake is treating the Monkey King’s Mohist Canon like a random nearby pickup. The clean route starts from Reflection Rise, drops to the road, and follows that road toward Desperation Ridge before you grab the item near the Monkey King’s Mausoleum signpost.

Another easy miss is the Monkey King’s Mirror. It is not on the signpost route; it comes from the Monkey King’s Chest beside the Monkey King’s Corpse, right at the end of the puzzle.

If you want the easiest run, do not wander closer than needed before the route tells you to. Hidden Mountain’s monkeys can harass you hard when you drift into their space, and the road approach keeps the item pickup and final turn-in cleaner.
