Abe's Exoddus - Tunnel 1
On the first screen when you drop down, there is a barrel
of bones in the foreground. You can climb down here (from
a standing position). This bonus area is very challenging
for a 1st level.
If you are just starting out but want to rescue all the
mudokons, you can skip the Hidden area. Halfway through
the level is another opportunity to do the Hidden area.
--------------------
Tunnel 1 Hidden Area
--------------------
Drop down from the first area. Go through the door.
Immediately climb down to the screen below. Roll two
spaces to the right so you are hiding behind the wall
and the flying slig can't throw a grenade at you.
Say ALL YA FOLLOW ME. Then you need to wait for the
flying slig to leave the screen. Roll or run to the
left and stop before you roll/run over the electrical
field. You need to stand up and say ALL YA WORK (so
they'll stop and ignore you)
If you don't say ALL YA, then 2 of the 3 mudokons will
follow you right into the electric field and die.
Press Start and select Quicksave to set a continue point.
You can Quicksave ANYWHERE.
Now you need to wait for the flying slig to leave the
screen (hide behind the wall) and then say HELLO
FOLLOW ME and make sure you pull the lever so the mudokon
gets through. Roll to the left and the mudokon will stop
over the trapdoor. Tell the mudokon to WAIT. When the slig
leaves the screen, roll to the right and pull the lever.
The mudokon will safely be dropped down to the screen
below. Repeat this for all 3 mudokons. I suggest
Quicksaving after each one.
After you do this, walk over to the air vent next to the
lever and press up to jump into it. You'll end up BELOW
the three mudokons you just rescued. You need to say
HELLO and FOLLOW ME to get them lined up under the wheels.
After that, say ALL YA WORK and they will open the gate
for you and you can rescue all 3. CHANT to rescue these guys.
Now go to 2 screens to the left and simply CHANT to rescue
all 9 mudokons here.
Go back to the right 2 screens and jump up into the air
vent. Now make your way to the right and climb up and go
back the way you came. Climb up and you will be back at
the beginning of the level.
-----------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 1 cont'd
You should be on the first screen where you start the game.
Go to the right, drop down and roll through a tunnel area.
Go to the right and you have to stop in front of the
explanation box and press UP. It explains different moods
your mudokon friends get in.
Now climb up, jump to the left and then climb up to the
next screen (on this screen is a mudokon next to two bombs
and 2 mudokons working in the background). One screen to
the left is a mudokon. Go left and say HELLO (L1-/\)
FOLLOW ME (L1-[]) to the mudokon, walk to the right and
CHANT (L1-R1) to rescue your friend. This unlocks a door.
The next screen to the right there's a locked door and you
turn a wheel to open it, but that releases water on the
mudokon. Walk up to him and apologize for getting him wet
by saying SORRY (L2-()).
Have him FOLLOW you to the right and CHANT to rescue him
which opens the door.
To the right, you turn a wheel which releases laughing gas
and the two mudokons there get totally stoned. You have to
walk to the right two screens (They'll stumble and generally
follow you) and then slap (Anger L1-(X)) each one once. If
you slap one twice, apologize by saying SORRY (L2-()).
Tell them to follow you and they will line up underneath
the wheels. Say ALL YA (L2-/\) WORK (L1-())
Now have them follow you to the next screen and rescue
them through the birdgate by chanting (L1 & R1).
Walk to the right and climb up the lift. There is an
explanation on the left of how to Quiksave. Basically,
press START on ANY screen at any time and select QuikSave.
Now if you die, you continue from this point. Remember to
periodically do a real MEMORY CARD SAVE when you want to quit.
Now continue up the lift. Walk to the right and there's a
sleeping slig at the top. Keep going over to the right
(You have to roll under two fans). Pull the green lever
and go through the door to the top where there are two
stoned mudokons. Walk one screen to the left. Slap em
and have both of them follow you and tiptoe to the left.
Line them up under the wheels and tell em to WAIT.
Go through the door so you go to the lower platform. Pull
the cord to unlock the door to the left. Now say ALL YA
and FOLLOW ME and have all 4 mudokons follow you to the
left. CHANT and rescue all 4.
DON'T go down where the purple arrow is pointing. If you
drop down here, it closes two doors. This will prevent you
from getting a mudokon and also prevents you from doing the
Hidden level if you've put it off until now. If you've gone
down where the purple arrow pointed, you can die somehow
and you should go back to where you Quicksaved last.
Backtrack back to almost the beginning of the level until
you see that a *second* slig has appeared. This slig is
NOT on a screen with a RED EYE.
CHANT and take control of the slig. Remember L2-() is
"Look Out!". You should yell this BEFORE you shoot the
slig two screens to the right (). Otherwise you might
kill your mudokon friend.
If you've killed a mudokon by mistake and can't find a
way to die, hit START and select LOAD and hit [] to load
your Quicksave.
LAST CHANCE to do the BONUS AREA two screens to the left.
Now go all the way back to the right and climb up the lift
and go to the right, and through the doors and up and to
the left and past the slig. Go down where the Purple arrow
is. The slig on the right is gone but the slig you
controlled on the left is BACK! :( Can we say game glitch?
Anyways, you will have to sneak around him in shadows and
while he is off-screen, quickly say HELLO and FOLLOW ME to
your friend and then WORK when he is in the shadows with you
on the left side of the screen. Wait until he walks off to
the left. While the slig is off-screen, say HELLO FOLLOW ME
and wait for the slig to return. When the slig is as far to
the RIGHT as he will go, walk off the left side of the screen
and your mudokon friend will follow you. Remember to stop
before you step on the bombs! In fact, you might want to
deactivate the bombs first.
To the left a screen or two are two bombs. I would suggest
you Quicksave first. You have to crouch down and hit [] to
deactivate the bomb WHEN it blinks GREEN. Sit, watch and
listen to the timing for a few seconds. As MacGyver would
say, get comfortable with the bomb first. :)
You can even Quicksave after you deactivate the first bomb.
Now you should be able to get 3 mudokons following you to
the birdgate on the FAR left and CHANT to rescue em.
One screen to the right of the birdgate is a place where you
can climb up. Notice there are little rocks and dust falling
off the edge. It's very important you look for this in later
levels. There are hidden entrances and not-so-obvious places
you climb up and drop down that are revealed by this falling
dust and rocks.
When you climb up here, there is an air vent to your left
that is blocked by a wall. Climb up and then jump to the
right and jump into the air vent hole.
Walk to the left. There is a Slig to the upper right. You
can possess him by chanting. I haven't found a use for him
other than to kill him by chanting again. Climb up to the
screen above and jump to the left.
TUNNEL 1 EXIT - You'll notice an air vent hole here.
Remember this area because you need to jump into this air
vent to get to the end of Tunnel 1 (Always press UP to go
into an air vent).
Walk to the left and drop down to where the Slig was before.
Now walk to the left (seemingly through the wall) and you
find a secret area.
Using the teleporter you can rescue 4 mudokons. I don't
think I need to explain this. Just keep walking to the
right and using the teleporters to find mudokons.
There's an air duct you can use as a shortcut back to the
main area.
Now climb back up to TUNNEL 1 EXIT.
-------------
TUNNEL 1 EXIT
-------------
Jump into the air vent. It will take you to the end of
Tunnel 1 (cool video here). You walk to the right (sneak)
and then drop down. There are 6 wheels. Now walk and tiptoe
to the left past the slig and climb up to the next screen.
You need to say ALL YA FOLLOW ME and get the 5 mudokons to
all follow you down. Now tiptoe to the right past the slig
and they will all tiptoe with you.
On the next screen are 5 wheels. Walk to the right and then
will line up under the wheels. Say WORK.
These 5 mudokons carry over to tunnel 2 but don't count
towards your 75 for the Tunnels.
Video where the 5 mudokons drink 99 bottles of
Soulstorm Brew and get totally sick and drunk.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 2
Jump across to the right. Now go down a tunnel that looks
very similar to the tunnel in Tunnel 1.
THERE IS A SECRET AREA HERE. I'll call it Tunnel 2 Secret 1.
It's in the lower right corner of this narrow tunnel area
where you have to roll. You must press down from a standing
position in the lower right corner where there is a piece of
rock in the foreground.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 2 Secret 1
The air vent here will take you to where you can rescue 5
mudokons in the background. Say ALL YA FOLLOW ME and lead
them to the right. CHANT to rescue them. Then jump across
and go up into the air vent which takes you back to the
beginning of the level. Go to the right, down through the
tunnel, climb up, and roll to the right. Continue below.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 2 cont'd
Roll over to the right and there is a flying slig. Hold down
RIGHT and R1 so as soon as you are free of the tunnel. Make
sure you jump over the hole and then let go of R1 a few steps
away from the wall 2 screens over, you duck down and roll
into the little tunnel.
Roll to the right and you will fall down 3 screens, land in
a air vent, and then be thrown up and end up hanging onto
a platform. Climb up and step to the right before a slig in
the background can shoot you.
Quicksave
Instead of going up through the door, walk to the right,
then run-jump to the left.
You miss the platform, fall down and into an air vent which
tosses you back up to the new area.
Run to the left before you get shot.
Go UP through the door and run to the right where there are
two sligs. As soon as you've got their attention, run back
to the left and go up through the door so you're back in
the foreground. CHANT to possess one. He'll get killed by
the other slig. CHANT again to possess the other one and
then kill him by CHANTing again.
Now go up through the door. There will be a slig below.
Simply possess him by CHANTing. Have him walk to the left
onto the mine. Now go down to the door below and go UP
through it.
There will be a mudokon on your platform and two below.
Say HELLO and FOLLOW ME and then walk off the platform so
you're next to a birdgate and air vent. CHANT and rescue
all 3. Now jump up through the air vent.
This will put you back to the door. Go UP through the door.
After a rippling video, you appear in a doorway safe from a
flying slig.
------------------------------------------
NEW SECTION!! [email protected]
------------------------------------------
CHANT to possess the flying slig. Fly him up, kill the two
sligs. Fly to the left and avoiding the drills, fly to the
left and kill the slig on the left. In that room to the left
of him are 4 mudokons.
----
Jump up into the air vent to the left. You fly up to a
platform. You can now safely drop down from this platform
since you killed the slig above.
Drop down and roll to the left. CHANT to rescue your 4
mudokon friends. Now go back to the right.
Climb up and roll to the left. Your 5 drunk mudokon friends
can't be helped yet.
Instead, walk to the left and walk to the information device.
Press UP and it will tell you that you can't rescue them yet.
You must complete the Mudanchee and Mudomo Vaults first.
Go to the right (the air vent won't work until later) and
climb up to the next screen. There is an entrance to the
Boiler and a return entrance to Tunnel 2.
------------------------------------------------------
Boiler Access 1
Ok, lots and lots of dogs. This is actually really easy.
Don't panic. Just keep walking to the right and climbing
down the lifts. At the lowest point, a door closes behind
you and on the next screen to the right is a lever you can
pull that activates 3 electric fields.
Quiksave.
Walk to the right and lure some of the dogs to drop down.
Run back to the left and stand near the lever so you can
pull it and fry the dogs. Repeat for the small dogs.
Turn the wheel which opens the door and closes the trapdoor
above.
Go UP through the door which takes you to Tunnel 3.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 3
Jump up under the bag of rocks and pick up your 9 rocks [].
Walk to the right and then roll under the wall. It takes a
few rocks to blow up the mines here. If necessary, go back
and get more rocks. Walk to the purple arrow and duck down.
Toss the rock to the right to blow up this mine. Stand up
and stand a step to the right and face left, throw a rock
while holding UP to get the mine on the left. Stand a step
to the left of the purple arrow to get the mine to the
upper right.
Jump up and pull both green levers to open the door.
Now roll to the right under the wall.
-------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 3 - Secret 1
Throw rocks across to blow up the mines. Now stand at the
right edge of the left platform. Jump across and you should
be hanging on the edge of the platform. Drop down. You can't
just climb down here, you just jump from the left.
Climb down and go UP through the door. Walk to the left and
jump into the air vent.
On this screen, you must pull the green lever and make a
bridge for your mudokon friends. First, throw a rock to the
left to blow up the mine. Now say HELLO FOLLOW ME and then
WAIT (remember, these are blind mudokons) and get them to
follow you to the right and stop them before they fall
through the trapdoor and get killed by the grinders.
To get a mudokon to ignore you so you can tell another one to
follow you, say WORK. To get a certain mudokon's attention,
stand directly under him when you say HELLO.
Quiksave often
After you get all the mudokons to walk across the two trapdoors,
they will walk over to the right screen. Get them through the
3rd trapdoor (there are different ways to do this) by pulling
the green lever. You can tell them to WAIT or whatever you need
to do to do this.
Now just have all 3 mudokons follow you back to the left and
drop them down the trapdoor on the left. Then pull the trapdoor
handle and drop down there (you'll have to pull the handle and
then run to the left).
RESIST the temptation to rescue them. First you need them. Get
all 3 following you and walk to where the birdgate is. You can
actually walk through the wall to the LEFT of the birdgate.
Sneaky bastards!
Now you need all 3 mudokons to operate wheels while you operate
a 4th. Fortunately, you can just say ALL YA FOLLOW ME and even
the blind mudokons will stop in front of the wheels.
You might as well get all 3 mudokons to climb on the Lift. Climb
up and rescue all 7 mudokons up there. That's it for tunnel 3.
Climb back down the lift and then walk to the right and go UP
through the door.
To return to the main area, jump into the air vent to the left.
-------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 3 cont'd
Climb up and then roll to the left. Go UP through the door.
Now you are in an area where you roll to the right and doors
close behind you. Hopefully you have an extra rock. If not,
you will have to run and jump to get a rock to blow up the mine.
Quiksave
Go to the right and use rocks to blow up all the mines. Be
careful not to be too close to a mine that you're blowing up.
Good rule of thumb is 6 steps away.
The next screen has 6 mines and a grinder that moves left to
right. You will have to roll back and forth and throw rocks
while avoiding the grinder and not being too close to the mine
you're blowing up. Quiksave before attempting this.
If you need rocks, just go back to the left and jump up under
the rock bag.
After you've gotten the 6 mines, you need to follow the grinder,
stand up and climb up quickly. Then pull the lever to
deactivate it.
Drop back down and then drop down to the screen below. Use
more rocks to blow up the mines. You don't even have to get
rid of all the minse on the next screen.
I suggest you bring at least 6 rocks with you when you leave
as they come in handy in Tunnel 5. If necessary, throw your
present rocks away and then get 9 more from the rock bag.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 3 - Blind Mudokon zone
Stand to the right of the blind mudokon and say HELLO
FOLLOW ME and pull the lever before he walks over the trapdoor.
Now say WAIT. Now CHANT.
Either jump up into the air vent to get below.
Press UP to go through the door.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 4
Roll under the grinder and pull the lever.
Roll to the right, stand up and pull the lever. DUCK DOWN as
the grinder keeps moving for a stroke or two.
Roll to the right, stand up and pull the lever. DUCK DOWN as
the 2 grinders keep moving for a stroke or two.
Quiksave
Climb up and pull the lever to open the door way back where
the blind mudokon is working.
Now walk all the way back to the left to your blind mudokon
friend. Say HELLO FOLLOW ME and stay close to him, walking
just a couple steps in front of him. CHANT to rescue him.
This is the only mudokon in Tunnel 4 as the sign states.
I've got 36 mudokons so far.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 5
If you don't have a rock, you need to roll under the grinder,
then jump over the mine, then roll under the 2nd grinder, then
walk to the right and run-jump across the hole, climb up, and
say HELLO FOLLOW ME and WAIT and WORK under the wheel to open
the door which has a rock bag behind it.
If you already have a rock, throw a rock to blow up the mine.
Now roll under the two grinders. Go to the right, climb up and
walk to the left. Pull the two levers to deactivate the
grinders. Say HELLO FOLLOW ME and your mudokon friend will
walk to the right. CHANT to rescue him at the birdgate. This
will activate the lift.
Now blow up the 3 mines (if you need rocks, use the
instructions above to get some).
Go to the right and say HELLO FOLLOW ME and lead him to the
left and then tell him to WAIT at the lift. Climb down the
lift and CHANT to rescue your friend.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 5 pt 2
Go to the left and UP through the door. Now look very careful
at the MIDDLE of the screen and notice there are some rocks
and debris falling.
SECRET 1-You have to run-jump across (avoiding the grinder)
to get into the secret entrance. Climb up and rescue the two
mudokons.
Climb back down and drop down. Jump across avoiding the grinder.
On the next screen, notice there are rocks and debris falling
from what seems like INSIDE the rock face on the right.
SECRET 2- Roll to the left holding down R1 and quickly jump
up. Now run-jump to the RIGHT and you will land *inside* the
rock in a secret area. Climb up and you get to a small area
with a pull-string that turns off a grinder later in the level.
Drop back down and run-jump to the right.
Roll under the wall. Drop down and roll under the 3 grinders.
You'll need to run-jump to the left over the hole (until you
activate the lift).
Walk to the left 2 screens. Climb up and walk to the left.
Say ALL YA FOLLOW ME and lead them to the right and then
down to the ground below. Pull the green lever which activates
the grinder above and raises the lift to the left.
Climb down two screens. wait for the slig to leave the screen.
Climb down to the bottom and say HELLO FOLLOW ME and when the
mudokon is on the lift, climb up to the ledge with the
pull-string. Pull the string to kill the slig. Climb down. Walk
to the right, climb up, walk to the left, climb up to the screen
above. Jump across and jump into the air duct.
Walk to the right and pull the lever to activate the lift
earlier in the level. Walk back to the right and jump up into
the air duct.
Climb down and walk to the right, drop down and walk to the
left, climb up and say HELLO FOLLOW ME to have the mudokon
still on the lift follow you to the right. Say WAIT. Now you
have 3 mudokons on this screen waiting. Walk to the right.
Climb the lift up and pull the 3 green levers to the right to
turn off the 3 grinders.
Climb up and you need to run jump to the left and pull the
pull-string to turn off all 3 grinders on this screen. If the
grinder on the screen to the right is running, you forgot to do
Secret 2 above. Now climb up and get all 3 mudokons following
you down and to the left and stop them on the lift. Climb down
the lift. Walk to the right and say HELLO FOLLOW ME to get the
4th mudokon following you. Tell him to WAIT. Now get all 4
mudokons following you to the left. Tell them all to WAIT. Now
get all 7 mudokons following you to the right and over 3 screens
to the birdgate (where there were 3 grinders) and CHANT to
rescue them all.
Walk 3 screens to the left. Climb down the lift. Walk to the
right 3 screens and take the exit to Tunnel 6.
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 6
Lots of motion detectors on this level. You can't be moving while
the detector is sweeping near you. So SNEAK (R2) while walking
and stop when the detector is about to sweep you.
Go to the right and sneak here. Drop down. Sneak/tiptoe to the
right and don't wake the slig. Quiksave if you have to.
Sneak to the next screen to the right. Sneak past the motion
detector and drop down.
Quiksave!
Ok, all the mines in this area are on the same pattern.
GREEN RED RED GREEN RED RED
Touch it with [] (square) when it's green. Sneak to the left and
carefully sneak past the slig and two motion detectors.
Now you have 4 more bombs to defuse and a motion detector. You
can't even move your hand to deactivate a bomb while the detector
is in range. Once you get all the bombs deactivated, here's a
hint: the motion detectors don't matter anymore!
Just hop in the mine car and roll to the right and then roll up
the side of the wall, blowing up the bombs and wiping out sligs.
The mine car is hanging onto the ceiling. Carefully roll to the
right and stay on the left side of the screen. Prepare to drop
down [] and land on the slig here. Be careful, you kill your
mudokon friends if you roll the minecar over them.
Get all 3 mudokons to follow you to safety to the right and
CHANT to rescue them. Get back in the mine car [] and roll to
the right and then drop down on the slig.
Quiksave
You need to run to the right, stop in front of the bomb,
deactivate it, and then run back to the left before the slig
shoots you or your mudokon friend. Then walk back onto the
screen and say HELLO FOLLOW ME and run to the left. He will
follow you to the left.
Make sure you have him way to the left before you hop in the
mine car so you don't kill him. Now hop in the mine car and
roll to the right, killing the two sligs.
Sneak to the right, don't set off the motion detector, and
deactivate the bomb. Sneak back to the left without setting
off the motion detector. Now say ALL YA FOLLOW ME and walk
to the left so they walk all the way to the left. Now hop in
the minecar and roll to the right, killing the slig and rolling
over the 3 bombs. If you've lost the mine car, you can do this
area by sneaking all the way and not waking up the 2nd slig.
Much more difficult though.
Now go back and lead your mudokon friends to the birdgate at
the end. whew. 7 left. Now hop in the mine car and ride it up
the wall where the birdgate is and to the left on the ceiling.
Take it all the way up and to the right.
Notice a platform on the left side of the screen. Climb up and
roll to the left and drop down. Secret area. Go UP through the
door here and rescue the 4 mudokons.
Go back to the left and go UP through the door and then climb up
and to the right. Go to the right and sneak/tiptoe (R2).
Go to the mine and duck down, disable it, and run to the left.
Now hop in the minecar and wait for the slig to run after you
and roll over him.
That takes care of Tunnel 6!
------------------------------------------------------
Tunnel 7
You start this level in the background. Great fun!
Walk to the right, which makes noise. The slig will walk to the
right. Wait until he is off screen and then run to the right and
climb up to the platform. CHANT to possess the slig in the
background.
Once controlling him, use him to pull the green lever and then
hold DOWN and shoot the slig in the foreground. BE CAREFUL you
don't kill any mudokons. If you do, hit START and choose Load
and hit [] to load your last Quiksave. Blow up this slig by
CHANTing.
Walk to the right and jump up into the air vent. Instead of going
where you want, you go to a new area. Run to the right, pull the
lever, and keep running to the right. Drop down to the right.
Drop down to the screen below. Run to the right, pull the lever,
and keep running to the right. Jump up on the platform and
teleport to the foreground. Walk to the left and get in the
minecar. Roll to the left and keep going to the left and then
down. Get out of the minecar and have the last 4 mudokons
follow you to the left. Now go up through the door to Boiler
Access.
------------------------------------------------------
Boiler Access 2
Walk to the left (on the UPPER platform). Run jump and climb up.
Just keep climbing up and to the left. Try to hurry as a flying
slig is chasing you.
On the way up and on the way down, there are some places where
you can hide in shadow from the flying slig.
Eventually you get to the top which has a green lever. Pull it
and run back to the right. Run-jump over to the wheel. Turn the
wheel for a few seconds and it cranks the boiler pressure up to
30%. Jump to the left (it saves time to drop down) and then run
to the right and run-jump across to the wheel and turn it. Jump
back and down to the left and then run to the right and run-jump
across and turn the last wheel. This starts a 14 second timer.
Drop down and run to the right. You will drop down 3 times but
don't let off the RIGHT and R1 buttons until you get to the very
last wall. Let off R1 and just push RIGHT and you will go under
the wall and roll to the right.
FMV and then you move on to the Necrum.

You fall and land in a air vent. Then you are thrown up and to the left onto a
platform. Walk left. Notice a pile of soulstorm brew bottles on the platform
Abe's on so there's an entrance to a secret area on this screen. Jump down to
the middle platform. Stand to the very right of it and jump to the right. Abe
will fall into a well and be launched into the secret area.

Secret Area 1
---
Face right and hit /\ to hop off the top ledge. You'll be shot at by the sligs
in the background but don't move, the pipes beside Abe shield him from the
gunfire. Run to the right then hit x to curl into a roll before the end of the
screen. This part took FOREVER to complete, don't get discouraged it can be
done. Be careful to hide behind the pillars on the following screen every time
you move. Climb up to the top and continue to the right. The next screen is
where the mudokons are. I strongly suggest quiksaving as SOON as you come on
screen. A grinder that's positioned over the working mudokons will start to drop
down onto them as soon as Abe gets on screen. Now hop quickly (avoiding the
grinder) to the far right platform. Call all the mudokons to follow you to the
right corner and tell them to wait or work. Climb down and left and get
acquainted with the three bombs. Deactivate then chant to free the mudokons
while the grinder is up. Roll right quickly (the grinder may be going a lot
faster now that the workers are free) and jump into the well on the rightmost
platform.
End of secret.

Once back on the screen with the bottles continue to the left, hoisting up the
platforms left with falling debris. Jump and go to the right and up. On the next
screen move left. Hang down from the leftmost and highest platform. Let go and
fall into a well one screen down. Go right and use the info stand. It calls a
bird portal. Chant and hop through. Walk right and jump into the well on the
right edge of the next screen. Continue right then crouch and roll under the
roots of the big tree. You'll fall to a screen that has two closed doors and a
lower and higher ledge. THerer are also four lanterns that must be lit before
you may continue, these may be done in any order and are completed by using info
devices to the left and right of the center screen. If you go to the right first
and down you will see the second/lower center screen that has a skull carved
into the bark of the great tree. To the right and high (next screen) is an info
stand. To get to the lower platform crouch and roll to the right on the bottom
of the skull screen. You drop down next to the second info stand. Use it. To get
back, hang from the right edge of the platoform and drop into the well below.
Now for the left side. Walk left. You'll notice this next screen has a pulley
elevator below and a well on the higher platform. Ride the elevator down use the
third info stand. Go back up and to the well on the higher platform. Abe'll be
shot through a series of wells and end up on the other side of the screen with
the 3rd info device, next to device #4. Use this one then jump into the well
next to it. Climb back up to the top by standing on the high left ledge and
hoisting. The happy chimes will ring and the high door opens now that all four
lanterns are lit.
Hoist up and enter the door. Abe is now in the front entrance to the mudokon
vaults. On the screen to the right is a bird portal that takes you back to your
sick mudokon buddies still in the soulstorm brewery. Use it if you like. To
return to necrum, walk to the left and another bird portal is on that screen.
Use the info stand next to the door of the vault entrance. It will explain the
next task and open the door. Enter it. You're back outside next to the second
door of the big skull tree. There should be another bird portal on the higher
platform. Climb up and chant and hop through. Walk to the right, hoist up and
continue right. Enter the door in the middle of the next screen. Now we get to
deal with the world of fleeches and slurgs! Personally I detest them but they
can be lots of fun to kill in later areas. For now, sneak past them and to the
right. Use the info stand explaining them and how it's best not to step on the
slurgs. Hop over and hang down and drop. Climb down and move carefully left and
hang off bottom leftmost edge. Drop down. Here begins our interaction with the
fleech population of necrum. Run then run-jump from the left ledge to the right,
hoist and quickly press up to enter the well on the right ledge. Use the info
device and slap open the first spirit lock. Move left and climb up to exit the
now open door (thanks to the freed mudokon spirit).
Fleeches
--------
- note: it is highly advisable that you quiksave as much as you can *but not if
you're very near to being killed* after each switch or after crossing from one
side of the screen to another after tiptoeing and avoiding stepping on slurgs. -
Area 1 - Switch order = LEFT, RIGHT
The next area is the first in a series of what I call the "Fleech Obstacle
Courses." There are four of these that seem to get more and more difficult as
you pass them. In the first you must carefully pull the left switch (don't step
on the slurgs!) and then the right. Pulling the right switch wakes the fleech
hanging from that ledge. After pulling the right switch just quickly drop down
and exit through the door.
Area 2 - Switch order = LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER
This may be the most difficult of all these fleech courses even though they seem
to be designed with increasing difficulty per level in mind. Again tiptoe left,
hoist, and pull the switch. Quiksave. Move over to the right carefully hoist,
stand to the left of the switch and pull it. AS SOON as you you pull the right
switch turn to the left and and hit /\. You'll land perfectly next to the
center switch. Pull it and get to the door fast. It takes 6 hits from a fleech
to kill you so don't overshoot the door if you're running.
Area 3 - Switch order = LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT
I felt this course was perhaps the easiest. Maybe they should have swapped the
second and third fleech courses? Tiptoe left and climb up to pull the switch.
Quickly jump to the right and pull the center switch. Do the same again and get
the right switch. Jump down and escape.
Area 4 (phew last one) - Switch order = RINGS, LEFT, RIGHT
On the last of these, pull the 3 rings first then sneak to the left, pull the
switch, and run jump up to the right and pulling the right switch, drop down and
go up through the door before the fleeches get hit Abe more than six times.
End of Fleech Obstacle Courses.
---
You enter a new area and the info device tells you about Invisibility. Move
right and down. You'll fall into a well and get next to another info device. Use
it or not. Climb down and slap open this a ringed spirit lock. Abe gets a ring
of invisibility. Chanting will activate it. You don't need to do this just yet
though. Jump into the well at the left. Back atthe top again. Climb down and to
theleft untill at the bottom chamber. Chant to activate invisibility. Roll right
and climb up and over quickly. Keep moving up until atht edoor and enter. While
in the room or screen with an invisibility lock you can regenerate the power if
it has faded. Just change to reactivate. MOve right and enter the door. Stand on
the edge of the ledge and hop left. Continue left and chant to open the portal.
Hop through and walk left. Jump into the the well on the next screen. POOF,
Abe's now in the background. Walk right past the well on the next screen and use
the info device. You now learn more about the mudanchee and mudomo tribes. Jump
into the well and move left. This screen has bottles. Yay a secret entrance!

Climb up and hold down R2 to sneak one step to the left. Jump over to the right
and pull the green lever.
Jump over to the left and you will grab onto the lower ledge. Climb up and Sneak
to the left and then roll under the wall. There is a Greeter (a metal garbage-
can like thing that talks like a Slig) projecting a motion detector. There are 3
trapdoors opening and closing and 2 bombs and 2 depressed mudokons.
You need to climb up and learn the timing of the trapdoors and bombs and
deactivate them one at a time.
Walk to the upper left and pull the green lever.
Roll to the right and climb down.
While crouched, reactivate the bomb below and sit on the right side of it. When
the Greeter's motion detector is on you, press to the RIGHT and hold down until
you go to the next screen out of the way of the bomb exploding. Now roll back to
the left and the Greeter is gone.
You can rescue your friends now. The depressed mudokon at the top won't get back
to normal until the Greeter is gone. Now you can lead both to safety below.
Jump into the air vent.

Jump back into the air well you just came out of and now you are in Scrabania!
Scrabania
Roll right and enter the well. Move right and enter the door. Walk to the right
and use the info device. Walk to the right and pull the green switch. Walk back
left and jump into the well. Walk to the right and possess the scrab by
chanting. Run after the fleech with the scrab making sure to back it into a
corner. Jump on it by pressing O or [] to kill it (see I told you it was fun).
You might also use this chance to practice using shred power as sometimes you'll
need to deal with more than a couple fleeches. Unpossess then move right and
hang down and drop. Pull the ring then the green switch and continue left. Slap
open the spirit lock. Exit through the now open door at the left.
RUN LEFT IMMEDIATELY. Jumping when necessary to avoid fleeches. Continue left to
the end of this path where there's a well. Jump in and use the info device in
the foreground. Slap open a ringed spirit cage and continue right. Chant and
pull the switch. Hurry to the right and pull the switch on the following screen
and continue. Run-jump on the third screen to catch onto the ledge and hoist up
and exit through the door.
Climb down and hop to the right. Continue to the next screen. Jump into the well
to get onto the ledge nearby. Hoist up where there's falling debris. Continue up
and sneak left. Jump to the ledge with the switch and the info device. Quicly
pull the switch then chant to possess the scrab. Move to teh right with him and
use shred power to kill the fleech. Walk the scrab back to the right and
unpossess. Pull the green switch again to trap the scrab to the left. Run jump
back to the right and pull the lower switch then slap open the spirit lock.
Chant to become invisible. Climb up and go right and back down to where Abe
started. Sneak right once at the bottom (The only good fleech is a sleeping or
dead one). Use the wellto get to the top of the platform. Stand at the edge and
step off to fall in to the second well. You'll land quietly amidst the good
fleeches. Sneak carefully to the right (watch for slurgs). Chant briefly to go
invisible then pull the switch and run jump to the ledge on the right. Climb up
where there's falling debris and an arrow painted on a rock. Free the trapped
spirit then climb back down and exit.
Walk to the right and possess the scrab. Possess him and walk left with him.
Step on the tile on the ground and he'll soon tangle with the other scrab on
screen. That other scrab will kill the one you've possessed. Walk back to the
left and possess the second scrab. Go to the right with him. He'll also meet a
scrab that will kill him. I had a bit of trouble getting the third scrab to come
onscreen from to where Abe stands at this point so try using some of Abe's voice
commands or chanting then hanging from the edge of the platform to give the
scrab a look at what's making all the noise. If that doesn't work, drop down and
run left then run-jump and hoist onto the next ledge. At some point you should
get the scrab's attention so you can possess him. Once you have go back to the
right and kill the fleech on the last screen. Make sure he climbs onto the ledge
if you're not fast enough to attack. Move the possessed scrab all the way back
to the left end of the area and step on the last tile, trapping him behind a
divider. Unpossess and go to the screen where you've left the scrab and free the
trapped mudokon spirit. Go back to the right and there will be the frightened
fleech. Quickly slap open the second spirit lock and and run to the left and
exit through the now open door.
Walk to the left, climb up and go in the door. Walk to the left. See the
bottles? Yay another secret area.

Secret Area

Crouch down and roll and you'll fall into the hidden room as the happy chimes
ring. Chant to open the bird portal Run-jump off ledge into it while the scrab
faces you. Say "all ya" and "follow me" to get the mudokons down to the next
level. Pull the switch and quickly drop down and join them. You only get a few
seconds before the fleeches are freed so you have to make 'em count. Pull the
switch where you and the mudokons landed then jump down to the lower level. Tell
all the mudokons to follow you again and position them to the left of the
grinders and tell them to work. Quickly crouch next to the vertical grinders and
roll underneath when the first one is the same height as Abe. Be careful not to
roll far enough to disturb the bird portal. Hoist up while the horizontal
grinder is close to the wall then crouch and move next to the switch. Stand when
the grinder passes then crouch down and roll off the edge. Quickly chant to free
the mudokons. The fleeches should be free by now so run back to the left and
climb up to the first level and jump into the well to safety.
End of secret.
