Temple of the Monkey God

''This is about the Temple of the Monkey God in Bloons TD 5. Were you looking for the Monkey Temple in Bloons TD 4 Expansion''?

"The Temple demands sacrifice. Its arsenal of unstoppable bloon destruction is enhanced and modified by the types of towers sacrificed. Use at your own peril."

- BTD5 Description

Temple of the Monkey God, Sun God Temple or Monkey God Temple is the final upgrade of the Super Monkey on Path 1. It is the most expensive upgrade in BTD5, costing $85,000 in Easy, $100,000 in Medium, $108,000 on Hard. Crazily expensive. When Sun God is upgraded to Temple, everything in the range of the Sun God will disappear and is sacrificed. Sacrifices are what makes this tower worth its price. If you buy this upgrade with another one within range, the other one will disappear, so try to space them out if you buy multiple ones.

The Temple Of The Monkey God can be unlocked once the user reaches rank 32 and when the player gets enough XP after he/she gets the Sun God. Note that the temple requires some sacrifice to effectively defeat bloons. The temple can attack Camo Bloons regardless of upgrades or sacrifices.

Sacrifices
To build the best temple, sacrifice:



$30000 of Mortars or Bomb Towers. This is simply 6 strong golden missiles. This is a lot more effective in destroying bloons and does huge damage to MOAB-class bloons.

$10000 worth of Ice Towers. It produces a strong ice shot which damages MOAB-class bloons and freezes any non MOAB-class bloon.

$10000 of Glue Gunners produces a strong glue blob. It is simply corrosive glue frequently shot out of the Monkey Temple, also doing damage to MOAB-class bloons.

$10000 of Monkey Apprentices produces a tornado capable of blowing bloons back. This does damage to MOAB-class bloons.

$30000 of other towers. This produces blades shot around in a 360 circle, each blade popping 360 bloons

Trivia

 * A Temple of the Monkey God will not attack until its construction animation has finished.
 * It is the only upgrade with construction.
 * A Temple of the Monkey God cannot sacrifice a Wizard Lord.
 * This is because it would make the Special Mission extremely easy.
 * Temple of the Monkey God is the most expensive upgrade in the game.
 * Sacrificing another Temple (regardless how strong it was) is not a wise move. The old Temple adds almost nothing to the new Temple except the ability to shoot 16 blade volleys, as the old Temple costs $85,000/$100,000/$108,000.
 * During its construction animation (before the head pops up), there is a picture of a skull on the Temple.Btd53122012skullontotmg.png
 * You can see lightning bolts when the head is popping up
 * All special agent towers apart from Bloonberry Bush can be sacrificed, but they only add a blade attack.
 * The Temple of the Monkey God is the largest tower in Bloons Tower Defense 5.
 * The maximum number of Temples you could possibly fit into one track is 24, but reality testing shows that number is only theroretical.
 * The Temple of the Monkey god upgraded to 4/2 without sacrificing any tower takes 9 seconds to destroy a M.O.A.B completely and 37 for a B.F.B, making it less powerful than the Sun God or Technological Terror.
 * You used to be able to place other towers much closer to TOTMGs so more towers could be fit onto the map and higher highscores were possible. Since this change it makes it much more difficult if not impossible to beat the old all-time highscores as easily.
 * The good thing about the Temple of the Monkey God is its sacrifice ability. Without sacrificing anything, the Temple does slightly less damage than a Sun God.
 * Don't be afraid to sacrifice towers to this cause, because they will reach full potential if they are sacrificed to the temple. After the god rises out of the temple, you can't sacrifice any more towers to the temple.
 * The Temple of the Monkey God is arguably the greatest & most expensive weapon in tower defense history, because the abilities that it can get through it's sacrificing ability+the power of it's sun beam can take down even the Z.O.M.G. in a few seconds when used to full potential.
 * Blade volleys are very helpful. They do extra damage to M.O.A.B. class bloons, can pop 4 layers of bloons and have high penetration.
 * The Temple also appears (albeit in a much less powerful form) as a secret in BTD4 Expansion.
 * If you sell a Temple of the Monkey God before its construction animation is done, it will not disappear until the animation is finished.
 * Believe it or not, if a dense enough pack of bloons(mainly ceramics) comes at a temple with no sacrifices, it will not be able to hold up with them. That's suprising, since 1 sunray can pierce 25-50 bloons.
 * Sacrificing towers improves the main sunray (plasma) attack.
 * The third upgrade of the Super Monkey Lair is pointless if using temples as the temple can already attack camo bloons.
 * Placing a temple within a Monkey Village's radius will make the 'head' face right.
 * Although the high energy beacon might cost less than the M.I.B. Call to Arms, but it increases the range of the Super Monkey decreasing the maximum number of temples you can fit onto the screen.

How to put Temples near each other
Here is a slideshow on how to place TOTMGs near each other with out having them suck up each other. Note: Only towers that have their centers within range of the super monkey get sacrificed.
