Escape from Monkey Island Hints
Sample Monkey Kombat Chart
It may help you to put this information in a chart like the following (which is *just* an example, since the moves change from game to game): AA BB CC DM GG Beats AA --- aoc eco aoe aeo DM GG BB aoc --- cea aco oae AA DM CC eco cea --- aec eac AA BB DM aoe aco aec --- ace CC GG GG aeo oea eac ace --- BB CC
a=ack, c=chee, e=eek, o=oop
AA=Anxious Ape, BB=Bobbing Baboon, CC=Charging Chimp, DM=Drunkey Monkey, GG=Gimpy Gibbon
Fill in the information as you learn it. For example, look where "AA" and "BB" meet to find out that the combination to move between Anxious Ape and Bobbing Babboon is "ack, oop, chee". (You can read the chart either down then across or across then down, since any combo works both ways.) You can also read across to see that Anxious Ape beats Drunken Monkey and Gimpy Gibbon.
Here's a blank chart if you want one to fill out yourself: AA BB CC DM GG Beats AA --- BB --- CC --- DM --- GG ---
