The '''Temple of Marimbo''' is a temple in [[Marim]], [[Ape Atoll]]; it is dedicated to the monkey god, [[Marimbo]]. Marimbo takes the shape of a giant gorilla, yet he is a shapeshifter. The temple is only accessible during and after [[Monkey Madness]].

Players use the temple for mass melee training without the use of any [[food]] or [[prayer potion]]s. Players teleport or somehow get to the temple with good [[prayer]] armour and use [[Protect from Melee]] or [[Deflect Melee]] to fight level 167 [[Monkey Guards]]s. Since a player can keep their [[life points]] at a low amount without the risk of dying (if [[poison]] is healed) it is possible to lower LP to a small amount and use [[Dharok's]] to do massive damage. When their [[prayer]] runs low, a player can pray at the [[Gorilla Statue]] which function as an [[Altar]] near the gorilla spawns. The altar confers the advantage of being able to run many prayers at once, such as [[Incredible Reflexes]], [[Ultimate Strength]], [[Chivalry]], [[Piety]] or [[Turmoil]].

Since the gorillas occasionally heal, a player can get a good amount of experience from one gorilla. The bearded gorillas near the trapdoor can block players from moving past them, similar to [[barricade]]s in [[Soul Wars]] and [[Castle Wars]], so it's best not to get trapped since a [[monkey greegree]] cannot be used during combat. There is also an annoying [[spider]], which can attack players and poison them up to 38 damage each time. They do not need to damage a player to poison them. Once they are unaggressive, going up the stairs behind the altar doesn't make it re-attack but going up any other ladder, going too far south or west will make it attack the player again. The amount of experience gained from here is very high (some of the highest in RuneScape), but the training can be monotonous and the drops from the gorillas are very low in value.

This place is currently quite unused because a player must have started a master quest (Monkey Madness) to get there. It is similar to the [[armoured zombie]]s that become available in the quest [[Defender of Varrock]]. There is an altar near the zombies, so the same training strategy can be used. Since armoured zombies have numerous advantages (weaker, less defence, closer to a bank, [[Salve amulet]] can be used, better drops), they are the better choice for training. The only drawback is that Defender of Varrock has more difficult to obtain requirements than Monkey Madness.

The [[Temple of Marimbo Dungeon]] is found under the temple, and is visited during the Monkey Madness and [[Recipe for Disaster]] ([[Recipe for Disaster/Freeing King Awowogei|Freeing King Awowogei]]) quests.
