Monkey Kombat

1. THE THEORY: Walk back to monkey town, and challenge the guarding monkey to Monkey Kombat. You make insults by combining three out of four monkey sounds:

Ack

Eek

Oop

Chee

Every insult will transform one stance to another. (NOTE - Insult combos change with every game!) The stances are:

Anxious Ape

Bobbing Baboon

Charging Chimp

Drunken Monkey

Gimpy Gibbon

Example: The insult "Ack-Eek-Oop" when in Gimby Gibbon could change stance to Drunken Monkey. Every stance will beat a certain other stance. You will need to learn which stance beats which and how to change from one stance to another by writing down the insults into a chart.

2. HOW IT REALLY WORKS (nabbed from various web pages):

* Each opponent has a health bar made up of banana symbols. Lower your opponent’s health to zero and you win. The present stance is also listed near each opponent.

* In the lower right hand corner of the screen, under Guybrush, is a compass-like symbol representing the arrow keys on the keyboard. The four directions are labeled Ack, Oop, Eek, Chee, the four monkey insults. An insult is said by pressing the arrow key corresponding to the insult. For example, pressing the up arrow will force Guybrush to say, "Ack." Press the left arrow key and he will say, "Chee." Pressing three keys in succession will string together three insults and Guybrush will change his stance to match the insult string. You will then see the results of the stance change, win or loose.

* Turns are alternating, usually with the monkey going first. During the monkey’s turn the insult compass will be turned off. It will be on when it’s Guybrush’s turn. So, a match may go like this: The stance the monkey is using is listed above his head. He says three insults which change his stance to counter that of Guybrush. The monkey’s stance changes and you see what stance he changed to plus whether or not it defeats Guybrush’s stance. The insult compass is activated for Guybrush’s turn. Notice the stances of the opponents. If the monkey is assuming the Drunken Monkey stance and Guybrush is holding the Gimpy Gibbon stance, you must utter the three curses that moves Guybrush from the Gimpy Gibbon stance to one that will defeat the Drunken Monkey stance. Tap out the three insults with the arrow keys and you will see the results.

* Once in awhile a foul will be declared. Other than being for an invalid combination of curses, I’ve never been able to figure out the exact reasons. A few times I’ve used curses that worked previously only to have them declared foul. It’s not game stopping, but it does sometimes tip the balance to your opponent. You’ll just have to work through it.

* Before you’re ready to challenge JoJo for his hat, you should practice with other monkeys. You can find these monkeys on the map of Monkey Island near the intersection of the east-west trail with the trail that leads to Monkey Town. Walk up to the monkeys on the map and the scene will change to a clearing. Talk to the monkey and Kombat is automatically started.

* You should make two charts. The first should show what other two stances a single stance beats, like DM defeats AA and GG, CC beats BB and DM. Do this for all five stances and you’ll have a listing of what each stance will beat.

* The second chart should be of the insults and what stance they change to and from. For instance you might list: CC to DM = AOC, which means that to move from the Charging Chimp stance to the Drunken Monkey stance, use the insults Ack, Oop, Chee. So, if during Kombat Guybrush is in the Charging Chimp stance and his opponent is in the Drunken Monkey stance, you would look in the first chart to find out what stances defeat Drunken Monkey. Then you would look in the chart of curses to see what curses are used to move from the Charging Chimp stance to whatever stance defeats the Drunken Monkey.

* That’s really it. Challenge the monkeys and write down the results of various moves. It’s a good idea to enable the option that displays text as well as voice. Some of the monkey sounds are difficult to understand. As things progress fairly rapidly, liberal use of the space bar (pause key) can be helpful. When you think you have enough moves mapped to defeat JoJo go challenge him.

Monkey Robot

1. After you defeat JoJo and get the hat, return to map, and walk back to beach. Use the banana picker on the bananas until they’re all gone. Give one to Timmy and he’ll follow you.

2. Walk to canyon and enter the mine. Go all the way to the end of the tracks to the big metal door.

3. Open vent and use banana with it. Close vent then use a banana with portal. Timmy will open the door. Enter.

4. Use the banana picket with weed whipper.

5. Leave the mine and go to the pool of lava. Use the weed whipper on the weeds.

6. Walk to big monkey head.

7. Use the bronze hat with the monkey head and the banana picker with the monkey nose. Go through the mouth and into the control room.

8. Go to the left center of the central console and use Gubernatorial Symbol "prominent slot"

Mêlée Island

Ultimate Monkey Kombat

1. Pick up the big plank off the ground and use it with the smallest tower.

2. Climb the tower then jump on plank.

3. When you get to the top of the tallest tower use the excessively large switch.

4. In the final Monkey Kombat, you must use the moves you learned earlier. Tie LeChuck three times to win game.
