A map of the Temple of Marimbo.

The Temple of Marimbo is a temple in Marim, Ape Atoll; it is dedicated to the monkey goddess, Marimbo. Marimbo takes the shape of a giant gorilla, yet she is a shapeshifter. The temple is only accessible during and after Monkey Madness I.

Players can use the temple for melee training without needing food or prayer potions, being able to top up their prayer at the nearby gorilla statue. Players may use Dharok the Wretched's set bonus along with the use of Protect from Melee to fight the Monkey Guards within, as they will only fight using melee. Using this method, players can keep their hitpoints at 1 to maximize damage dealt. Taking a few anti-poisons with you is recommended as the nearby level 1 spiders can poison you. The altar being so close-by also allows the player to take advantage of extra damage boosting prayers, such as Incredible Reflexes, Ultimate Strength, Chivalry, or Piety.

Since the guards occasionally heal, a single guard can award a large amount of exp whilst being relatively low effort. The bearded guards near the trapdoor will block players from moving past them, similar to barricades in Castle Wars, so it's best to avoid positioning yourself between two of them, as greegrees cannot be equipped during combat. A greegree is not required after completing Monkey Madness II, but the guards will no longer be aggressive.

The Temple of Marimbo Dungeon is found under the temple, and is visited during Monkey Madness I and the Awowogei section of Recipe for Disaster quests.
