"Monkey Madness I" Quest Guide

[jomoOSRS]

To complete the "Monkey Madness I" quest in Old School RuneScape, you must have completed "The Grand Tree" and "Tree Gnome Village" quests. It’s beneficial to have high combat stats, especially for melee and ranged, and you should bring plenty of food, prayer potions, antipoisons, and teleports. The main items you'll need are a gold bar, a monkey corpse or bones, and 10,000 coins. Start by speaking to King Narnode Shareen in the Grand Tree. He will send you to the Gnome Stronghold’s Tree Guardian, Daero. Daero will blindfold you and take you to the Hangar, where you will meet Waydar. Together, you will fly to Crash Island. From there, speak to Lumdo to get to Ape Atoll.

Upon arriving at Ape Atoll, you'll be captured by the monkeys and taken to a prison cell. Use your lockpick or ask your cellmate, Karam, to help you escape. Sneak through the prison, avoiding guards, and head to the temple. Inside the temple, climb up the ladder to reach the trapdoor and exit. Proceed to the jungle and talk to Garkor, the 10th Squad leader, who is hiding there. Garkor will inform you about the mission to free the gnomes and disrupt the monkeys' plans. He will ask you to gather various pieces of equipment and information.

First, you need to create a disguise. Head to the local monkey village and kill a monkey to obtain its bones or a corpse. Bring these to Zooknock, a gnome wizard hiding in the dungeon on the western side of the island. Zooknock will craft a monkey greegree for you, allowing you to transform into a monkey. Return to the monkey village disguised and talk to the Monkey Child to obtain the Monkey Talisman. You need to be careful not to get caught by the Monkey Guards while doing this.

Next, you’ll need to fetch the gold bar from your bank or bring it with you initially. Use the gold bar, monkey talisman, and monkey bones at Zooknock to create the greegree. Now, you can freely transform into a monkey to explore the village safely. Use this disguise to enter the monkey temple and retrieve the monkey amulet mold from the crate. Take the mold back to Zooknock, who will create an enchanted amulet for you.

Return to Garkor and he will instruct you to speak with the Monkey King, Awowogei. Transform into a monkey using the greegree and speak with Awowogei. He will ask you to free a captured monkey from the Ardougne Zoo. Teleport or travel to Ardougne and use your greegree to talk to the Monkey Minder. He will put you in the cage with the monkeys. Transform back into a human and use the monkey amulet to communicate with the monkey. Pick up the monkey and teleport back to Ape Atoll.

Once back on Ape Atoll, head to the monkey temple and speak with the Elder Guard to gain access to the prison. Enter the prison and free the gnomes. This will trigger a battle with the Jungle Demon. Using Protect from Magic and ranged or melee attacks is recommended to defeat the Jungle Demon efficiently. After defeating the demon, speak to Garkor again to complete your mission.

Return to King Narnode Shareen in the Grand Tree to complete the quest. Your rewards include 3 Quest Points, 10,000 coins, the ability to wield the Dragon Scimitar, and access to the Ape Atoll agility course. Additionally, you can choose to receive experience in Attack, Strength, Defence, or Hitpoints, distributed as you prefer, totaling 110,000 experience points.
