PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 4 of 20

Now that we have all four spells, we can get the Power Rod...but we're not done yet. We'll also be learning how to use the Jet Cloud and fly around Son Wukong-style.

First | Previous | Next | End

Now that you're back in the power plant, use the Ice spell to freeze the crusher when it's up. From here, you'll be using all of your spells to get to the Jet Cloud.

To the right of the first lift platform is a Monkey Icon. Riding the platform and jumping left leads to another.

Sometimes, you won't be able to ride a platform until you use the lever nearby. There's just one problem: you obviously can't be on the platform and at the lever at the same time. What do you do? You freeze the platform with the Ice spell, move the lever so that the platform goes where you need it to, then either wait for the platform to thaw out or thaw it out more quickly with the Fire spell. Stay on the platform. You've made progress!

The conveyor belts, thankfully, show where they will move you with the chevrons.

If you start hearing weird disco music, you'll have to battle a bunch of enemies before moving on. You'll want to be full on health and magic before entering these areas. You'll have to use the shrink magic on all the mice to get rid of them more efficiently. They'll show up one at a time at first, then in pairs, then in a few sets of three. These fighting sections show up every so often, but they are absolutely annoying.

You'll eventually find the Jet Cloud. Jump on it and press X to leave the power plant.

Keep holding X to ascend on the Jet Cloud, and tap the button to maintain altitude. All you have to do is fly to the end. However, if you explore, you'll be able to find all the power-ups. If you see a lone turnip, grab it. There is a chain of falling turnips. Catch them before they fall to the ground.

When you make it to the end, you'll see Subodye one last time. From here, you'll have to face Prince Nata to get the Power Rod. Here, your skills with the Jet Cloud will be put to the test. To beat Prince Nata, you'll need to get close to Prince Nata when he isn't glowing red and punch him. As you do this, you'll need to avoid the walls and the green lasers, which will kill you, and you'll also want to avoid the green acid on the floor and the rings that Prince Nata throws. Once you beat Prince Nata, you'll be able to get the Power Rod.

You'll then get a cutscene where the gods find out that the monkeys are preparing to fight the Celestial Heavens in their mountain fortress. Dopuck is sent to fight the monkeys with the Celestial Fleet.
