How do I get the box that Koro the ape is guarding?

  • 1 of 10: You won't get it as long as the ape is awake.
  • 2 of 10: You can't open the cage, so you have to find something long to reach it.
  • 3 of 10: If you look around the lab, you should be able to find something that could help you.
  • 4 of 10: Pick up the pole that's standing next to the door with the radiation sign on it.
  • 5 of 10: Now, you'll have to find a way to get the ape to sleep.
  • 6 of 10: Everybody knows what monkeys like for dinner.
  • 7 of 10: You should have some bananas.
  • 8 of 10: And you should have picked up a bottle of sleeping pills.
  • 9 of 10: Combine the bananas and the sleeping pills and give them to the monkey.
  • 10 of 10: You'll end up with a passcard.
