Description

We've got major problems with the monkeys in the jungle to the east. They've stolen all of our explosives, and now they're going around throwing them.

Sometimes at us!

I had Fizz Lighter take some of his nitro and put it in these bananas. No monkey can resist a bunch of bananas!

All you have to do is go out there and feed them.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
