PrinceWatercress plays Monkey Magic - Part 10 of 20


The left maze was full of twists and turns. The center maze is a bit more linear, but you now have to get enemies to stay on switches while dealing with lava and steam.


For the second teleporter, I enter the one in the center.

The imps carry hammers and will try to smash you. If you approach them, however, they run away; if you face away from them while nearby, they will go after you.

The black pipes shoot steam. You'll need to use the steam to push your jumps further. Perhaps not surprisingly, the game will later use these as an obstacle to push you back while you are in mid-air.

The lava is obviously instant death.

Duck down and roll to avoid being blown back by the wind currents.

There are a few switches in this maze; you'll need to use them all in order to get all three books here.

There are times when you will have to use the imps for puzzles. You have to get close, look away, then turn back and freeze them with the Ice spell right when they are standing on a floor switch. As long as you are nowhere near the imp, the imp will stay on the switch. This is the complete basis for the easiest book to get in the maze.

The lava pool with the platforms moving back and forth is the worst part of the maze. The platforms barely move close enough to where you need to jump at and you get pushed back and forth as you stay on the platforms. You have to be on the very edge and hope that the steam is working in your favor
