Land on top of the monk. Move to your left run over the ledge (you are now on the ground level) then move to your right. First drill a hole to your right to trap the monk who is approaching from your right. Try to do this near the small ladder. Then go over him and drill a bunch of holes to kill him. Then go up the first ladder, run over the goo and wail until a monk you killed reappears at the top and tries to make his way down. Jump on top of him and go into the "cave" on the left. Get the goods, drill a hole (as far left as possible) fall down it and wait near the bottom of the leftmost ladder. A monk will come doen, there is only one hole you can drill. Drill it and run over him. Go to the top of the ladder and then on the highest level and wait for the monk on the ground you can not drill into. When he comes up, drill once, run over him and start drilling so you can get the gold piece in mid air. When you land, get the rest of the pieces in this area while he is squirming to get out. Right after he dies, drill out the top to get into the top left "cave." By this time, the monk will have died and he is making his way to the bottom. Stay in the cave and jump on top of him then move over to the cave on the right getting its contents. Wait for him to go around and up the ladder on the right. Jump down and run where they are. At this point, it is a little free-for-all. Note, you can drill only 4 holes and then run over the monks. You will not have room at the bottom to kill them all. As a final note, to get the top right gold skull, you don't have to repeat the previous steps. instead, get the monks to pile up on the ladder right by it while you are on the rightmost ladder (do this by staying in the middle of the rightmost ladder whil they die and come around). Then go to the top of your ladder, they will go to the top of the other ladder, and walk right over them. This does not work if there is only 1 monk, you need them piled up. 147 === If you play level 147 the way it's designed to be played you kill off the monks and then have to avoid them in the lower 'pit.' There's a way to avoid that and make it very easy. Start by grabbing the jackhammer and going up and waiting at the bottom of the short ladder on the right. Then go to the top of the short ladder and move to the left. The monks will be coming to the right. You'll beat them to the middle ladder, so go up it and continue left and they chase you. When you get to the left short ladder, drill the block to the right of the 'left short ladder' and go up and get the gold [to the left of the transporter]. Then tease the monks down the drilled block to your level and transport out. They can't bother you any more and you can then use a large bomb to open up a middle hole go go down and work in the pit.
