PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 16 of 20

The things I do for 100% because of the stringent save conditions at this point...

First | Previous | Next | End

The first teleporter pad that I take is in the center left.

The platforms that move in and out of the walls cannot be frozen, so you have to jump from one to another and time your jumps. You just have to tough them out. Above this set of platforms is two monkey icons.

From here, you'll have to play with two switches. Move the left one first to move the bottom and center walls, then freeze the center wall, go back and move the right one. If you hurry (which shouldn't be a problem), you can continue on.

From past here, go right. Hit the switch at the end, then go all the way to the left and try to head back to the beginning of the level. You can now drop down an area that you couldn't access before. Use Strength in case you fall all the way down so you don't take damage from the drop, then make your way left. Here will be a cloud with Key 1 to the left. You have to use the Shrink spell to get on the cloud without breaking it, then get the key, get back on the cloud and get back to safe ground. How you're supposed to figure out to use the Shrink spell is completely unclear.

From here, you'll need to head back to the beginning of the level where Keyhole 1 is. From here, jump from one platform that expands and contracts to the other. The series of ropes that are here will have the hardest pick-ups to get in the game, and you have to double jump at the right elevation on every rope to get all the stuff and grab the next rope, and you can tell just from how many times I fail at getting everything just how bad this is.

From here, you can get a few more turnips and another monkey icon followed by the first of four keys. Good. Riddance.
