There are some RNG rounds where people reported they lost to them. I have tested those rounds numerous times, like R54 or R63, and I never had issues. That's why I was confident enough to played it on fast forward. First thing first, remember to always play on normal speed on difficult rounds or close rounds, because fast forward reduces ALL your towers dps. That'll be a huge difference. Second thing, make sure to read people comments below, often they have great suggestions and tips. [R63] First, we must have Elite Sniper before R75, therefore we only have $360 to spend on R63. Options: - Use 3 glues for each ceramic rush (@lazy_luca did this and it worked great) - Use 3 pickles for all 3 bouncing bullets (I did this which also worked fine on R63-R67. It makes bouncing bullets stronger but slower for 5 rounds) - 1 pickle and 1 stone for 1 bouncing bullet (only $5 cheaper. This also worked as I did test it) - Just 1 pickle for 1 bouncing bullet (if you want to save some money in case there are more RNG rounds. This also worked as I did test it) - Use creepy idols (@Neujahrshoernchen 1 did this and also worked). - Play on normal speed without spending any. [R54] When the first MOAB on left lane breaks into ceramics, you can use a glue ($110) or a creepy idol (also $110). But remember, this means you'll only have $250 to spend on R63 for example. Alternatively, as suggested by @aero, you can micro the Maim MOAB to First to stun the first MOAB crossing the left bridge once, then switch it back to Strong to catch the second MOAB spawning. [R64] This round is similar to R54. You can either use a glue or an idol. And you can also micro the Maim MOAB. If you're really unlucky with RNG, let's say you use a glue on R54, 3 pickles on R63, and another glue on R64, then I think it would be still fine. You'll short by about $200 on R75, but you can afford Elite Sniper mid-round. [R92] Use Sabotage at the start of the round. And you can also place two glues to slow down the fortified ceramics. One glue at intersection near the left darts, and one glue at intersection near Geraldo. You can also use two creepy idols, although I think that means you'll only have 1 creepy idol for R99. [R93] Give camo potions to Elite Sniper and Elite Defender. It will last 10 rounds and help you defeat DDTs on R93, R95, and R99. [R99] - Camo potions for Elite Sniper and Elite Defender if you haven't yet. - Hot sauce for Geraldo. - Glue on lower lane as suggested by @arquest and maybe middle lane too. - Creepy idols near exits to push back ceramics as suggested by @phsteve if you still have them.

currently trying this, lost once on round 54 and after one jar on 1 bouncing bullet i die on 64, will wsit this on further tries but ty anywas for Ur great content, it helps me bb the last few maps i am missing. Edit: Idol on 63 safed my life and i could bb it. round 99 Was close, but camo potions and geraldo fire safed me again (not sure, bute was a lot closer than in the vid). round 100 was a breeze even though i also used 3 malestromes and every Spike which was not neccessary at all. Also small Bug i ran into on my winning run: the sniper (which will become maim moab) can sometimes not highlight when you try to place down the second Village, even though it is in range. try placing it regardless When it looks to be in range (the feet are a good indicator) and it will get the double discount buff

Autohotkey coordinates are below. I could not for the life of me get the left side of the big cluster correct, but it worked. I did everything entirely on Normal speed for safety. On one of the rounds (I think 54 or 64), I seemed to have only been saved by the last few remaining nails and was glad I placed them as close to the end as possible. With my coordinates being slightly off, consider this less reliable than if you can get the coordinates right on your own.

@@unescaped.bloons Well thank you!! I was reflecting on how many hours you must have spent perfecting the strategy and guide, and then coming up with strategies for those who ran into challenges like on 63. You are truly amazing! I'm stunned how it works even with people like me getting some key pixels wrong. Every guide I tried to follow on Ravine over the last half year resulted in early disaster. And I think you might be the first who explained in a guide the Sword in the Stone x23 thing and to wait for the 5th green. Before you I was just wildly banging on the sword before inevitable death. 😁

[@phsteve6316]

This run is pretty easy to do once you figured out how to do the earlygame placements. It is possible to die to rng sometimes. I can recommend to put down creepy idols near the exits in the 90s if you see it's getting close, they might just pushback the few ceramics that would kill you. Once geraldo is level 90 you can also put camo potions on your snipers as they will do more damage to ddts then. The glue can also be used to make the 90s more comfortable. This is just little extra stuff tho, unless you're unlucky you're really unlikely to die if you follow the guide well

[@unescaped.bloons]

Thank you so much for this guide! I actually got it the second try due to me failing the first try.

The placements for the dart monkeys on a 1920x1080 monitor is as follows: 1st: 295, 669 2nd: 1020, 183 3rd: 864, 979 4th: 222, 489 5th: 1071, 1028 6th: 258, 722

[@hplarno.2812]

For anyone that is attempting this on v35... A couple of compromises of the strat had to be made to beat it, and as a disclaimer, unlike unescaped here, I don't have the time nor the sanity to test this repeatedly to ensure that works. If you happen to lose, it was most likely bad RNG, inaccurate placements, or speeding up at any point. All the towers I put in were pixel perfect, and I didn't have to micro the sniper for my winning game (you possibly might have to; Maim Moab sniper since the other snipers are on first, and if you do so, immediately swap back to strong). I used an autoclicker (OP Auto Clicker 3.0) to automatically give me the location of the coordinates I picked; and when it came to the turrets, I manually chose the location, and used the coordinates displayed by the autoclicker to place it correctly. PLEASE USE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OTHER COMMENTERS (the coordinates provided by Asta Reshter was the reason why I beat this map), and of course, upgrade and place additional things (if you have to) according to what happens during your game. THE STRAT LARGELY REMAINS THE SAME, BUT WITH A COUPLE OF CHANGES: The entire game (except for rounds 8-12 for me): I played at normal speed as to not decrease DPS, especially with the pierce nerf of the Bouncing Bullets and the $400 price increase of the Maim Moab. However, my winning game took me two and a half hours to complete. You can speed up the game, but do so at your own risk, especially during the rounds I mention during this list. The upgrades after Round 50 were entirely dependent on what happens during the round, and so I upgraded the new snipers to a 022 and into a 032. Whether or not this makes a difference is something I can't replicate every time, and it might be better to upgrade to a 030 and then to a 032. Finally, we are going to be behind money for most of the run to account for the Maim Moab price increase, so if you use anything else I didn't use like an additional glue or pickle on sniper, note how much money you are behind, and hope you can buy Elite Sniper in time. Like I said, PLAY ACCORDING TO WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR GAME. ROUND 15: I set Geraldo to strong for the rest of the game, and, because all the turrets you place will automatically be set to strong, SET THE NEW TURRETS TO FIRST. ROUND 42: After placing the 220-792 (coordinates on a 1920x1080 monitor) Sniper, upgrade it to a 101, and then a 201 Sniper during the round. We do this because, as the other comments mentioned and from my first attempt at Ravine chimps, we don't have enough money to buy a Maim Moab before Round 50 (you will lose trying to get it during Round 50; I tried), so we compromise. Now that the 220-792 Sniper has slightly less firing rate, it is important to watch for leaking bloons, so I highly recommend playing the later rounds at normal speed. ROUNDS 49 & 50: If you've done it correctly, you should have enough money to buy Maim Moab after Round 49 ends, and you should be good to start the round. After the MOAB pops, get Shrapnel shot for the Maim Moab Sniper, then quickly go back and upgrade the 220-792 Sniper to 202. FOR THE REST OF THIS RUN, WE WILL BE BEHIND ON MONEY, SO PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY ADDITIONAL GLUES, TOTEMS, OR PICKLES IF IT'S NOT NECESSARY. ROUND 52: PLAY THIS AT NORMAL SPEED. During the round, a MOAB should pass through the left bridge, being a few dollars short of Semi-Auto. As soon as it becomes buyable, which is when that moab pops, IMMEDIATELY UPGRADE THE 202 SNIPER TO A 203 AS FAST AS YOU CAN. If you are too slow, that sniper won't be able to fire fast enough to clean up the moab, and you will most likely lose. I use the term "most likely" because my snipers clean it up in time, but I suggest not taking any chances, especially if you're averaging 90 minutes per run like me. ROUND 63: PLAY THIS AT NORMAL SPEED; THE TOWERS SHOULD CLEAN UP THE CERAMIC RUSHES JUST BEFORE THEY EXIT. Ideally you wouldn't want to be using anything to beat this round, however I found that using a pickle on a sniper won't clear the ceramic rushes quickly enough. I instead used a totem at the point where the rightmost path initially splits into two, and place it as top as possible between those two lanes (or around the small area of 1363-252). I placed it when the first ceramic rush came, but you can place it before the round starts. At the end of Round 74, I was at $15,488, or $172 behind. According to unescaped, you can be $200 behind buying the Elite Sniper and be fine, however, what exactly can you buy for $28 in chimps mode? You can use a glue and some pickels, but you will be more than $200 behind, and you're pushing the limits as to how fast you can get the Elite Sniper before the bloons leak. ROUND 75: PLAY THIS AT NORMAL SPEED. Get the Elite Sniper as quick as you can, quickly set it to First. For me, it was just before the MOABs went through the right bridge. ROUND 80 (AMOUNT OF CASH BEHIND CHECK): I didn't have to do anyhing special for the ZOMG, and you shouldn't need to. Because of the $40 cushion from Round 75, I was $132 behind the video's amount. At this point, everything is mostly normal. ROUND 95 & 97: Strangely for me, the majority of the DDTs went through the right bridge, so I used the Sabotage ability when the DDT was right next to the 010 Dart. As for Round 97, I did defortify the BFBs just to be safe. I was two hours into this run, and I wasn't going to throw it away. ROUND 100: As well as saucing the appropriate monkeys, I put a cape on the sauced Dart, and placed some blade traps (one in the same sport as Round 40 and one in the middle of the middle bridge). I also used Sabotage, and was fine. You can add more stuff if you want to, just MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE TWO REJUVINATION POTIONS.

even though I've BB'ed everything a long time ago its still interesting to see border guides strats, love your editing as well. Something to make 54 a bit more consistent, at least for me when I did this run in v30, was to micro the maim to first then switch back to strong after it shoots the first moab crossing the bridge once, to make sure it can stun it then catch the second one spawning. sniper spam still op lol

I died 3 times now on round 54 - when the MOAB breaks on the left lane, the balloons easily make it to the end. It does not even look close. On your video, it looks close but it works. In my case (tried 3 times so far) it's not even close - even another set of nails would probably not help. Also, my cash was in line with the video at the end of round 53, so I did not forget anything.

[@unescaped.bloons]

I actually tested R54 ten times, and it had 100% success rate. That's why I was confident enough to played it on fast forward. Your option to beat R54 is to put either 1 glue ($110) or 1 creepy idol (also $110). But remember, that means you'll only have about $250 to beat R63 (in case you also have problem with that round).

[@unescaped.bloons]

R99 is the most difficult round for sure. This was what I wrote to another commenter: "The snowstorm timing is really, really precise. As soon as the 4th DDT (from top) is freezable, use snowstorm. I think when it's about to turn the corner but before it's attackable by Ezili. If you're too late by half a second, the first DDT (from bottom) is already too far and later you'll lose the left side. Also, my other tip is to wait 1-1.5 second after snowstorm before using MOAB Hex. A common mistake to use MOAB Hex immediately (which I didn't mention in the video). Wait for a brief moment to assess the situation. As you can see in the video, I wait until more DDTs come out then I use MOAB Hex." I hope it helps and works for you. As for bloody puddles, yeah that's understandable with 11 perfect placements for the early game.

Oh yeah, this one is really tough. The first 8 placements (6 darts, Geraldo, 1 turret) must be nearly perfect to beat R15. You must do everything nearly perfect to beat R6 to R28. Even then, you could also still lose randomly to rounds like 50, 54, 63, 64, 99. So make sure you read the pinned comment and what others said and advised.

[@floydfloyd1978]

Another question - why do you often say to play on normal speed? I am pretty sure that it can't make a difference?

[@unescaped.bloons]

Yes! It makes a huge difference! I mean even 1 red bloon is a huge difference, right? Because in chimps mode, that's a win or lose situation. People often make challenges that only can be beaten if we're playing on normal speed. ISAB played those challenges in his old videos, but I forget which one because he has like a billion videos at this point. Fast forward reduces your towers dps. Also, if you play on devices with lower fps like mobile, you will have it worse than people who play on gaming pc with 300 fps. This game is weird.

[@IniciativaBuguivadores]

Fast forward makes the game skip frames because it can't handle sped up things well. To see this in action, make a challenge at round 163 with max bloon speed at any map (logs is a good one for that) and then put a spike factory (5xx) at the exit. The bloons will "jump" through the spikes, not being damaged by them.

[@MrLaBaLaBa1]

Obsolete as of patch 35.0 :( With recent change to cost of Maim MOAB you will not afford the upgrade required for round 50. Thanks for a great guide up until that point!

[@limbov]

does this still work in 35.0? bouncing got a pierce nerf from 4 to 3 and maim got a price increase.

[@unescaped.bloons]

I don't think so. The problem is Maim MOAB must be purchased before R50. It's not possible in this guide. We must find another way to beat R50, and get Elite Sniper early on R75. But the rest of the run I suspect could be fine even with Bouncing Bullet pierce nerf, although it could also not. I haven't tested it myself.

[@hplarno.2812]

This is what I did, and I was going to put it as a separate comment, however I died on Round 63. More testing has to be done, but I’m averaging an hour and a half per CHIMPS run of this map, so maybe soon. - Hold off on upgrading the Sniper @ 220-792 fully. First get a 101, then a 201. Play the rounds at normal speed, and be ready to micro the soon-to-be Maim MOAB sniper just in case a bloon gets near the exit. You should have enough money to buy Maim MOAB if your placements are perfect. After the 1st MOAB pops on Round 50, get Shrapnel Shot, then upgrade the other sniper to a 202. Continue to play the rounds in normal speed, especially on Round 52. If you get lucky, only one MOAB should pass through the 202 Sniper’s bridge (the one it can see clearly through; no red). When you get the money, which is around when that MOAB pops, immediately get Semi-Automatic. I mean immediately; If you are too slow on upgrading, that sniper won’t be able to fire fast enough to clean up the ceramics, and you will most likely lose. - Now, we have no money left to spare for Elite Sniper for Round 75, in fact, we’ll be off by $40 - Just in case by Round 54, upgrade the new sniper to a 022, then a 032. Also, if possible, micro the Maim Moab since we’re behind on money - At this point, get all upgrades immediately as to not waste uptime between the previous shot and the shot of the upgraded tower. You never know what could sneak through. - By the end of Round 62, you can take suggestions from the comments on how to beat Round 63. Keep in mind, because of the Maim MOAB price increase, we’ll be behind $40, and have to buy it mid-round. According to unescaped, we are fine being behind by $200, so we can spend $160. We can either pickle a Bouncing Bullet Sniper, use 1 creepy idol, or glue a ceramic wave. Ideally, you wouldn’t want to do this since we’re behind on money, but, if it has to, chose your poison. I lost on this round using the pickles on the Beserker Brew Bouncing Bullet Sniper; Would be better to glue the middle bridge or use a creepy idol when then ceramics come; I lost to the middle bridge. More testing would be required, but that’s what I think.

[@hplarno.2812]

Addendum: Forgot to mention that I kinda didn’t micro for that run. I swapped the Maim Moab Sniper on first between 48-50 as a precaution.

[@hplarno.2812]

Round 63 solution: Place a Creepy Idol at the point where the initial path splits into two. I placed it down as soon as I saw the first ceramic rush (The creepy idol is around 1363-252 on a 1920x1080 monitor, but it most likely wasn’t that point exactly because I was more focused on placing it down).

[@hplarno.2812]

If the bloons leaked to the left side, I guess it's the same reason as R50/54/64.

[@Vexx_--_--_--_--_--]

I keep losing on round 6

[@unescaped.bloons]

Unfortunately, the placement of the 3 darts must be perfect, and don't forget to change the targeting priority. Top dart on last, left dart on strong. After that, there are even more difficult placements. In total, there are 11 perfect placements. Even when they look the same, if we miss 1-2 pixels, the result will be different. It's always the case with difficult maps like this, and we can only keep practicing and never give up. In my previous video, I showed how I practiced and tested my placements in challenge editor. I highly recommend doing the same, as the first 8 towers must have perfect placements to beat R15. Practice the run first in challenge editor because we can do "Retry last round" when we fail. After enough practices, we can do it in real game. That's how I usually do it. Of course, we can also keep trying in real game, eventually we'll get better I believe. Good luck!
