PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 19 of 20


I really hate the column-switch maze puzzle that is in this one part. You can figure stuff out with trial and error, but even then, it's severely frustrating. I'm surprised I managed to keep that 


The last teleporter is to the far right.

The first part has you freezing crusher platforms with the Ice spell when they are low enough. From here, shrink yourself, then freeze the lower platform and go all the way to the wall on the right. When the lower platform un-freezes, it will move back and forth. Wait for it to get out of the way before heading downwards, where you'll take out a guard before dealing with more of the crusher platforms much like you did at the start. The only difference is that the ceiling will be a bit lower and you won't have as much room, so you'll need to be more careful here. You'll also need to set the things that are holding some of the crusher platforms you'll need to ride on on fire with the Fire spell to free the platforms. There is a monkey icon at the end, but go to the right and take out the soldier and hit the checkpoint before getting it.

From here, freeze the crusher platform that is in the tight spot with the Ice spell, then roll under it to get to Keyhole 1 and another checkpoint. Freeze the crusher that is up ahead, then hurry to the right and hit the switch. From here, you'll be in a massive switch and column puzzle. You'll have to play with the switches and even freeze some of them just to get to where you need to go. Don't forget that you can jump through the holes in the ceiling, assuming you know where they are. At the top, get all the columns down. From there, freeze the fourth column when it is up, freeze the first column when it is down, hit the second switch, go down, hit the first switch, then hit the third, and you should be able to get to Key 1. Once you get Key 1, you'll be out of here. Get out of the key from above, then go left and head back to Keyhole 1. Get the key. You're done here.
