PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 14 of 20

It's time for more platforming in the Celestial Gardens...and this time, it's a LOT harder.

First | Previous | Next | End

Just like last time, have the Strength spell ready. This time around, it is much easier to drop down from a high height and hurt yourself, and if you have the Strength style active, you can minimize the damage. Also, be ready to freeze platforms with the Ice platforms if you have trouble making the jumps.

Remember that you have a few seconds on the small cloud platforms before they fall out from under you.

The cloud enemies that fly around and zap you can only be hurt by standing on them with the Strength spell active. You can also jump kick them, but good luck doing that when they're darting all over the place.

The human enemies are pretty fast and can hit you when you least expect them. You can either hit them with the Power Rod, or you can freeze them with the Ice spell and then hit them to shatter and kill them.

There will eventually be a fork in the road. You'll need to go up at that fork to find Key 1, so you can unlock Keyhole 1 later.

From Keyhole 1, you can go up, but you'll need Key 2 to unlock the elevator for Keyhole 2. Watch out for Celestial Soldiers while on the platforms and while jumping to Key 2. Why the game throws enemies in a spot like this and expects you to deal with them, I will never know. You have to freeze the platform after Keyhole 1 at the proper time to get rid of the enemies that spawn in mid-air. As for the cloud platform, you'll have to use the Power Rod to take out the soldiers for

For the narrow elevator at the end, the bombs are located as follows. Right, right, left, left, left, right, right, right, left, left, and right.
