Start your Three Mines ’Round – Magic Monkeys Only (Hard) run by placing Quincy at the beginning. No Monkey Knowledge or special abilities are required, making this strategy fully accessible. Using Quincy’s abilities early can speed up the first rounds, but it’s entirely optional.
Place a Wizard Monkey, a Mermonkey, and a Druid close to each other at the first junction. Upgrade the Wizard Monkey along Path 2 and Path 3 to reach 0-2-4 Necromancer, providing strong crowd control and damage against camo bloons. Upgrade the Mermonkey along Path 1 and Path 3 to 4-0-2 Abyss Dweller, giving excellent area damage across the map. Upgrade the Druid along Path 1 and Path 2 to 2-4-0 Jungle’s Bounty, generating extra cash and supporting your defenses.
To further strengthen your team, place two Alchemists and upgrade both to 4-2-0, providing strong buffs to your Magic Monkeys. Upgrade the Wizard Monkey’s final Path 3 tier to Prince of Darkness for maximum damage output. Before Round 80, upgrade your Mermonkey along Path 1 to Lord of the Abyss, completing your ultimate Magic Monkey setup.
With this strategy, even Hard difficulty becomes manageable without relying on Monkey Knowledge or abilities. Combine Necromancer, Abyss Dweller, and Jungle’s Bounty for an unstoppable Magic Monkey Only victory. Victory is yours!
