InSplit Fiction’sHopes of Spring chapter, you’ll end up facing off against the Monkey King on your way tofight the Ice King. Except this isn’t a traditional boss battle fight, but is more of a puzzle. A monkey puzzle, if you will. Like the tree? That joke would have slayed if you were an arborist, trust me.
Anyway, it can be a little tricky to figure out exactly what the Monkey King wants from you, so that’s where we come in. It’s not necessarily that difficult, but it can be mighty confusing to understand how to please the king. But be confused no longer.
How To Solve The Monkey King’s First Puzzle
The first challenge from the Monkey King is toleap to each podium in turn, following hispattern. It’s a little like Simon Says - you just follow what he does. If you fail, you only have to start over that round, so itshouldn’t be too tough to get past.It appears theorder is random, so it will need to be a case ofreacting each timeandmatching the Monkey King’s steps. Other than that, there’s not much to it.
How To Solve The Monkey King’s Second Puzzle
The Monkey King’ssecond puzzle is a little trickier. This one asks you toform a conga line, which seems simple enough. However, there is aspecific trickto it.Mioneeds to collect thepink monkeys, andZoeneeds to collect thegreen monkeys. For the first stage, collecting all of the monkeys will open theleft wall.
Once the wall opensgo past it and collect the next monkeys. This opens theright wall. Collect those, and you’ll open theback wall. The careful thing here is tonot crash into each other. If the lines collide, the monkeys willrun off. When this happens,just one player should gather theirs first,thentake them out of the way.
Looping in a circle is a good way to keep the conga line close together
Once all the walls are open, there’sone more thing to do.You each then need togather up all of the monkeysandwalk them onto the dance floor. Every single monkey needs to be on the dance floor and in a conga line at the same time to pass the challenge.Mio should walk in a loop on the left,whileZoe should walk in a loop on the right, and take care not to crash into each other. Because the monkeys scatter, if youdo crash, it is best tohave one player gather theirs first while the other leaves them alone.
How To Solve The Monkey King’s Third Puzzle
Thankfully,the third puzzle is more like the first. Again, it’s a simple Simon Says activity, but you will need to be a little faster here.It’s also randomised again, so we can’t tell you the steps. As theMonkey King dances,he willcall out a direction.Tap the stick in that direction toperform the dance move.If you fail, it’s just that step to repeat again. Once you go through all the steps,the Monkey King moves aside.
