Preliminary

To complete this subquest, you need to make three monkey greegrees to transform into three monkeys. Remember what Zooknock told you at the end of Monkey Madness: you create greegrees by bringing him the bones of the type of monkey you want to become and a monkey talisman. He is located at the very end of the Ape Atoll Dungeon.

You need the bones of:

• Monkey archer/ninja (can be found on the streets or on the top floor of some houses; use Protect from Ranged)
• Monkey Guard (found in the temple; use Protect from Melee)
• Zombie monkey (found in the tunnel Zooknock is located; use Protect from Melee)

Methods: It is best to use ranged or magic on the Monkey Guard, as it will heal itself for 250 LP when its health gets too low if it is in melee range.

Note: If you already have a greegree, you can pass through Ape Atoll Dungeon without being attacked by the undead there; if you do not you may need several prayer potions to use Protect from Melee, depending on your prayer level. You will still take damage from the falling rocks and poisonous traps inside the Ape Atoll Dungeon whether you have a greegree or not, some food and antipoison are recommended. Alternatively, you can wear a Holy symbol and use the Prayer book to cure yourself, eliminating the need for antipoison potions.

There are two ways to get a new talisman to make a greegree:

• You can purchase talismans for 1,000 coins each from Tutab's Magical Market on Ape Atoll.Template:Recommended (only 1,000 coins for a minute saved)
• You may get talismans from the Monkey Child, where you got one during Monkey Madness. When you tell the child that you have lost the other one (which is technically true, because it is now a greegree), he will begin to cry. Wait for the Aunt to make one round trip and he will be feeling better, he will have a new one, and he will loan the new one to you if you promise to return it. If you need another, just wait for the Aunt to make another round then talk to the Monkey Child again. He will give you another one. This is a more time-consuming option, but you save money this way.

Begin the quest: Inspect the monkey king

Getting the banana.

• Inspect Awowogei in the banquet hall in Lumbridge Castle. Gypsy Aris will say you need to feed the monkey king his favourite dish. She, however, is not sure what his favourite dish is and suggests you ask him on Ape Atoll.
• Go to Awowogei's palace in Marim on Ape Atoll. Make sure you have equipped one of your monkey greegrees and your monkeyspeak amulet.
• Talk to the Elder Guard blocking the entrance to let you through.
• Talk with Awowogei about his favourite dish, and he will tell you he cannot let you have sensitive information like that. But he will mention three monkeys.
• You will find the trio (Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru) in the Temple of Marimbo north of the palace.
• Talk to the three monkeys in the north-west part of the temple. After a bit of conversation, you tell Mizaru that you are planning a surprise party for the king. Mizaru will then tell you to stuff the corpse of a big snake with banana slices and monkey nut paste.
• Go to Solihib's Food Stall west of the temple. Buy a banana for 2 coins and monkey nuts for 3 coins from Solihib.
• Return to the three monkeys, and talk to them. Iwazaru will indicate that you have the wrong type of banana. They will say you need a red banana, found on the west side of the island.
• Talk to them again. Iwazaru will now indicate that you have the wrong kind of monkey nuts. They will tell you to find tchiki monkey nuts on the tchiki nut bush in a cave in the hills south of the village.

Note: You cannot obtain the red banana or the tchiki monkey nuts before speaking to the three monkeys.

Pick the red banana

Red banana

• To get the red banana, wield your gorilla greegree and make sure you have your rope.
• Then head west to the water's edge and find the red banana tree. This tree is directly west of the village, north of a pineapple plant. The leaves of the tree have a red-brown edge.
• Use your rope on the tree to get the banana. If you forgot a rope, Ifaba's general store in the middle of the village sells them.
• Sometimes the tree will not have any bananas left on it, so wait until you see that the bananas have grown on the tree.

The Tchiki nuts bush.

• Collect one, slice it, and then collect another (you can only collect one red banana at a time, so using the drop trick then slicing it is optional). It is a good idea to collect at least a third one, as there is a possibility of burning the stuffed snake, thus requiring another banana.
• Slice all but one of the bananas.
• After that, run back to three monkeys and talk to them. Mizaru will take the whole banana and all but 1 of your sliced bananas and eat them (or the 1 sliced banana you have in inventory), so make sure you drop the other slices you may have collected before talking to them.
• Then, talk to them again about the tchiki nut bush.

Gather the Tchiki monkey nuts

Tchiki monkey nuts

Wield your ninja greegree, go to the south part of village, and enter the Ape Atoll Agility Course. (Look for the Agility training icon on the World map.)

• Go across the obstacles until you find a hole (it is just after the rope swing). If you haven't already done so, you might want to unblock the log after the skull slope (for future, easier access to Ape Atoll via Fairy Rings). Note: If you have relatively low agility, it is advised to bring food and/or agility potions in preparation for failing agility course obstacles.
• Enter the hole and pick a monkey nut from the bush. Note: If you are given the message "There are no nuts on the bush", then it means you have not shown the fake nuts to the three monkeys yet.
• Grind it with your pestle and mortar and then collect another nut (you can only collect one monkey nut at a time, so using the drop trick and then grinding it is optional). It is a good idea to collect at least a third one, as there is a possibility of burning the stuffed snake, thus requiring another nut. If a third one is picked, make sure that all but one of the nuts are ground.
• Climb up the rope to exit the cavern, and climb down the tropical tree to complete the course. Run back to the three monkeys and talk to them.
• Mizaru will take the nut and eat it, while the ground ones will remain in your inventory.
• Then, talk to them about the giant snake.

Cooking the snake.

Kill the giant snake

The snake pit.

Note: If you kill a Big Snake before getting your instructions from the three monkeys, it will drop only bones.

Do not underestimate these. They can accurately hit over 130 and poison you. Be aware that they also are in a Multiway-combat area. Protect from/Deflect Melee is essential for those under level 90.(Although it is easy to do it if you have high melee stats as a pure, you wear your best defence armour and walk immediately left, right, up or down once you get down after rocktailing, auto retaliate one of the snakes (clicking them is hard) and claw or dragon dagger special attack it, this can be repeated, keep a quick teleport in your inventory in case of emergency)

• Travel back to Crash Island, and go east from Lumdo to find a pit. Be quick: The level 38 scorpions and level 24 snakes by the beach are both poisonous and aggressive.
• Before climbing down into the pit, turn on the Protect from Melee prayer, because the pit is a multicombat area and five level 84 Big Snakes will drain your life points quickly and poison you.
• Enter the pit, and kill one of the big snakes to get a snake corpse. Make sure that you stay away from the walls as more snakes will pop out of the walls to attack you.
• You may want to get more than one snake corpse, in case you burn the raw stuffed snake.
• Climb back up the rope in the centre of the pit to escape. Note that the snakes are weak to Slash attacks. Use that to your advantage.
• Note: after about a minute the poison should wear off.

Prepare the dish

Note: Make sure you have your cooking boost with you if you do not have 70 Cooking for this part.

Note: You might want to bring a second greegree — as a zombie monkey, you will not be able to run.

• Use the slices and paste on the corpse to create a raw stuffed snake. Do not use unprepared ingredients on the snake, or else you will acquire an odd stuffed snake, which cannot be cooked.
• Go back to Ape Atoll (if you have not already), hold your zombie greegree, and talk to the three monkeys in the Temple of Marimbo.
• Iwazaru indicates you need to enter the dungeon below the temple to cook the stuffed snake.
• Climb down the trapdoor in the east of the temple to enter the dungeon.
• Walk down a wooden platform, and look for a crack in the wall just below the climbing rope between the two flights of stairs in the east wall (it will say Enter Exit). Note: It shows up on the minimap as a red line.
• Squeeze through the gap, walk across the hot coals with your undead feet, and then cook the raw stuffed snake on the long, hot rock to make stuffed snake. If you fail cooking this, you will receive a snake over-cooked. As such, it is advised to make multiple raw stuffed snakes.WARNING: If you drink a chef's delight (m) and you have 65 cooking, use the snake with the hot rock quickly, or else your cooking boost will not work
• Then with the cooked stuffed snake, go back to Lumbridge castle and save King Awowogei. Take caution not to eat the snake accidentally. (Equip your amulet of monkeyspeak beforehand.) You will have a funny conversation forcing Awowogei to teach you the spell for teleporting to Ape Atoll.
• WARNING! If you drop any items on the floor before giving the snake to King Awowogei they will be forever lost!
