i've only been able to find two of these damn statues, would anyone happen to know where the other might be??

This link might help. Choose the Serpent Temple link and then scroll down to Monkey Figurines. Good luck.

thanx, but the hints don't seem to be coming up on the page, so i still don't really know what to do

Try this walk-through for the idols:

The four monkey statues are located in the following locations:
1. first room on the left near the entrance.
2. after the pantry, take the lifts and go up to the chest near the belfry
3. 5th room in the coin slot area
4. in the monkey room near the secret entrance to Kerah's shrine, there will be one super fast monkey carrying an idol

There is also an interesting alternative to finding the four monkey idols. In the library, take the chairs around the tables and stack them on top of each other. You need to stck the chairs three high and from there, you can jump straight onto the ledge.
