PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 8 of 20


In this entry, we reach the top of the Flower Fruit Fortress and face Dopuck in our defiance against the Celestial Fleet. From there, it's off to Javan Mountain.


Be careful on the ropes. Always hold Up on the Control pad while jumping from the middle of a rope. Don't jump from too high up the rope, or else you'll hit the ceiling and land in the spikes below.

After the ropes, use the Fire spell to get past the ice barriers and hit the lever, then go up, freeze the platform with Ice, hit the lever to the right of the platform and take the platform up. Go right, freeze the left wall of the two, flip the switch so that the right wall goes down, get away from the switch and wait for the left wall to go up. Go back to the left wall, freeze it again, then press the switch near the other wall that is on the lower level. From here, freeze both walls, hit the upper switch, then get away and wait for both walls to un-freeze. You're outta here.

There is a ledge you can jump to after this for pick-ups; it's just hard to get to sometimes.

At the keyhole, and hit the switch, then go down on the platform, ride the next one over the spikes, then jump over the bomb with a double jump. Get the key, take out the soldiers, freeze the right platform, then get the Fire magic ready as you wait. Set yourself on fire to get past the ice barrier, then immediately switch to Shrink, shrink yourself and hurry left to avoid getting crushed.

Hit the lever near the trap door to refill your magic. Go back up and use the Fire magic to get to the switch. Before you pull the switch, freeze the crusher wall, then pull it and go down. When the crusher wall moves right, you're free to continue on.

Go back up to the keyhole. At the checkpoint, go down towards the foreground. There will be three levers. Pull the middle switch to move the platform, and pull it again to stop it at the middle of the pit. Pull the left one to drop a box on it, then pull the right one to move the wall on the right up. Use the platform to move the box to the other end, and pull the right switch to move the wall down and keep the box there. Pull the right lever again to get the wall back up, then take the platform to the other side. Avoid the bombs as you collect everything you need for item collection and healing up, then press X on the Jet Cloud. You'll soon be facing Dopuck.

To beat Dopuck, you'll need to fight off the Celestial Guards with your punches. Stay under them to make it easier to hit them. As you do, you'll also want to avoid the bombs that are flying around. When you beat a guard, they may leave a bomb. Go back to the cannon in the center of the room, press Triangle, and you'll launch a bomb at Dopuck's ship with the cannon. When you hit Dopuck's ship three times, Milesight and Sonicmate will congratulate you, telling you that the Emperor has pulled back the Celestial Fleet and has allowed the monkeys to live in peace in Flower Fruit Mountain. You'll also receive the Pearl of Life, which will give you unlimited lives! Now you can't get a Game Over from this point on!

You'll then get another cutscene where you'll meet Runlay the White Dragon Horse. Runlay lived peacefully in a swamp, using her powers to torment villages by causing floods and terrible storms. Eventually, Runlay was punished by the Guardian for her cruelty and was banished to a mountain. In the mountain, her dragon globe was stolen by the Slime Lord and Runlay was forced to be his slave. Interestingly, even though he is mentioned in the game's cutscenes, the Slime Lord does not even appear in the game at all.
