Unlocking Vengeance: Understanding “There Can Be Only One” in Bloons TD 6
The “There Can Be Only One” Monkey Knowledge is a game-changer in Bloons TD 6 (BTD6), fundamentally altering the capabilities of the Super Monkey. Specifically, it unlocks the potential to create the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey (VTSG), a dramatically more powerful version of the True Sun God (TSG). However, this power comes with a significant limitation: the VTSG is disabled in modes where Monkey Knowledge is disabled, such as CHIMPS or Advanced Challenges with that restriction. Without this knowledge, you can still build the normal True Sun God, but the ultimate power is unavailable.
The Power of the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey
The VTSG is widely considered the most powerful tower in BTD6, capable of dealing insane damage and clearing massive waves of Bloons and Boss Bloons. Its enhanced abilities stem from sacrificing other tower types during the True Sun God upgrade process. Unlike the standard TSG, the VTSG gains unique attacks and increased stats, truly living up to its name as the ultimate defense. However, remember that it cannot be achieved in modes where Monkey Knowledge is disabled.
How to Get the Vengeful True Sun God
To summon the VTSG, you must first acquire the “There Can Be Only One” Monkey Knowledge. Then, you must follow a specific series of steps during the upgrade process of the Super Monkey:
-
Upgrade a Super Monkey to a 4-2-0 (Temple of the Monkey God) or 4-0-2 outside of your Monkey Town range.
-
Sacrifice at least $50,000 worth of three out of four tower categories (Primary, Military, Magic, and Support) to the Temple of the Monkey God.
-
Upgrade the Temple of the Monkey God to a 5-2-0 (True Sun God) or 5-0-2 outside of your Monkey Town range.
-
Sacrifice at least $50,000 of all four tower categories to the True Sun God.
-
Have a Monkey that is not a Sun Avatar or Sun Temple outside the range of the True Sun God. Note that it is vital that the Monkey costs at least $50,000 on Hard Difficulty.
-
Have the Adora hero in the game that is above level 20.
These sacrifices empower the True Sun God, transforming it into the Avatar of the Vengeful Monkey. It’s a costly but rewarding endeavor, significantly boosting your late-game defense.
