Allies

Throughout the course of Block Saga, you will encounter many allies that help you through the game. These allies come in all shapes and sizes, human and nonhuman, mechanical or living.

Here are the allies you can encounter in Block Saga:

Monkeys
Monkeys are very important allies in the game. Although they are very silly, they are the most helpful creatures you will encounter.

Their main purpose is to use your Special Abilities for you, giving you the most powerful weapons possible with what you have. This can be done a maximum of two times for each player. They will usually offer to do this when they first meet you, but you probably want to wait until you have more for them to work with before taking them up on that.

Their secondary purpose is perhaps even more useful. The monkeys will all join hands. Then, they will summon the Great Banana. The Great Banana is a very powerful creature. It will assist you in any battle, but it will dissapear afterwards. The monkeys can never summon it again after that. This is the reason why people believe the "outside help" requirement for beating the final boss refers to the monkeys and the Great Banana.

The monkeys will usually be encountered pretty early in the game. They can be found in things that monkeys are usually associated with, like rainforests, coconut palms, and banana stores. As such, one player will usually start out the game with easy access to the rainforest, coconut palm, or whatever the monkeys are hiding in. In fact, they are often encountered by accident.

The monkeys will always have a leader. The leader will always be named with a title and an inamiate object, e.g. King Pencil (the inanimate object is usually something found near the monkeys). This name is irrelevant. The leader will also have a disibility, like being blind, deaf, or mute. The leader will overcome these troubles by the end of the game, and it will all be very heartwarming, unless of course you read this part and knew it was going to happen, which you did. The leader will often get seperated from the rest of the monkeys. YOU MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Without the leader, the monkeys cannot summon the Great Banana. Also, don't lose the rest of the monkeys, but that goes without saying.
