Heck, since your question’s answered I have one: any way to cheat past the monkey kombat sequences? I still haven’t finished the game cause of those damn things.

[Game FAQs](http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/27207.html) is good at soothing your cheating hearts. There’s even a Monkey Kombat FAQ. This is the PC version. The PS2 and Mac versions have their own pages. Although they may have the same FAQs.

Careful though. Might I suggest you have someone you love pull the relevant info to keep straying eyes from nabbing too many spoilers.

I like to use [http://www.uhs-hints.com/](http://www.uhs-hints.com/) to get hints when I’m stuck - their system pops up one hint at a time, organized by question, which means you get just the hint you want, and no more.
