I chose 0.2 because that's about how far I think I am into the guide, 20%. I'm hoping to work on this guide every single day until I'm done, so expect quite a few updates! 0.4: Well, here we are at 40%. I've gotten a bit farther in the story and started my guide on the Zoo sidequest. I've also decided to fill out a few empty spaces(this section included!). I'm also trying to fill in a bit of the item list. 1.0: Whew! After two weeks, the walkthrough and pretty much everything else is completely finished. Oh happy day... 1.01: I just had to fix a few mistakes I made.

Story =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= Our game opens with Kya and Frank discovering a hidden room inside their house. Inside this room is a bunch of old, weird stuff. Frank finds a small disc and places it on a desk, opening a strange portal to what appears to be another dimension. They're both sucked in and Kya awakens in a very foreign world. When there, she learns that the people are actually hunted down by an evil man named Brazul, who turns Nativs into evil creatures called Wolfens. These Wolfens are his army and blindly follow him, doing whatever it is he commands. Kya knows that she must help these people by defeating Brazul and liberating the Nativs. =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= 1e. Playing the Game =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= On your screen at any given time are a few things that you should know about. 1: Kya's health meter is at the top-left corner of the screen. Kya takes damage, the meter goes down. If she finds something to replenish it, it goes up. 2: The Mana meter is below Kya's health meter. It shows how much mana she has. Mana is used to exorcise a wolfen or open a shell elevator. 3: The Nooties counter is found on the bottom-left corner of the screen. Nooties are the Nativ form of currency. Use them to buy whatever you need in one of the many shops. 4: The liberated nativ's counter is on the bottom-right of the screen. This shows how many wolfens you've exorcised. 5: The wolfen counter is on the top-right of the screen. This counter shows how many wolfen are left that haven't been returned to Nativ's. 6: Enemy health bars. Make them go down! =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= 1f. About me! =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= Well, you're probably more worried about figuring out what to do next in Kya rather than reading up on me, but if you're reading this than it must mean that you care a little bit!

Tips =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= - If you knock a wolfen off the edge of an area, then follow him down! When you yourself fall down, any wolfen that fell down as well or were beaten but not exorcised come back to life right where they were before. ============================================================================== Walkthrough ============================================================================== [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2a: The Beginning [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] As soon as you have control of Kya, follow the native. As you go through this narrow path the game will throw some things at you that will act as a small tutorial on the games controls. There are a few circular cloth-type things laying around in certain areas. If you walk over one, it will shoot up and trap you inside like a net. You'll be stuck in it for a few seconds, but the native always waits up for you. Over a bridge, you'll need to kick one of the pigs laying around into one of the net in order to move forward. Don't feel rushed or pressured, though, because nothing will happen even if it takes you twenty tries. As soon as you have, continue following the native. Across a second bridge, you'll see a few different barriers that turn on and off. Time it right so that you run through each one without getting hit. I suggest only doing one at a time, though, because trying to run through two or more can get really risky. After heading through all of them, continue following the Nativ across several platforms and down a very long natural water slide. At the end, avoid the guy that's shooting at you and follow the Nativ through the small opening and through the heavily-guarded area. Soon, you'll find yourself hopping up moving ledges. Once youre at the top, you'll traverse a bit more and then find yourself doing a ton of flying around which is pretty fun. :) Once you're done flying high, you'll reach a cutscene. Turns out you're almost at this Nativ's village, but a Wolfen is blocking the secret entrance(guess the secret's out, huh?). After a bit of bickering, the Nativ will "convince" Kya to go be the bait instead of him. Go near the circular stump and press square. Run over to the GIANT yellow X and the Nativ will automatically set the trap(anyone else wondering how he was able to create such an elaborate trap while a guard was on duty?) After this, the Nativ will drag the Wolfen's corpse back to the village (o_O) Nativ City After you enter the city you'll see a cutscene that shows whats up with Frank. Obviously he's here too, but in another place. Things... don't look too good for him, eh? Soon as that's over, once again follow the Nativ and you'll see another cutscene. During this one, the Nativ will show you around Nativ city and introduce you to Atea, the village elder of sorts. It might have seemed early for a plot twist, but you'll get TWO during this cutscene! :O One of the Nativ's in the village will also give Kya a bracelet that will make her more powerful. After receiving this bracelet, Kya will enter the nearby arena and practice a few combat moves on a dummy. For some reason, the guy who gave you the bracelet will say "Bravo!" nearly everytime you successfully complete a move. Just so you know, there are quite a few moves and combos. You'll probably hate him after this... ... but watch out! Once you think you're done, the Wolfen will wake up and attack! However, he's no match for you. After seeing your super special impressive remarkable fighting skills, Atea will grant you a special power. This power of Awakening will allow you to turn Wolfen back into Nativ! The other Nativ would use the power too, but they've got too much else to do, like build shops and... build shops. *sigh* Looks like it's all up to you. Make sure you remember to pick up the three mana balls use them on the wolfen to turn him back into a Nativ! Atea will tell you that you need a weapon before leaving. So, follow those flashing yellow signs to a wind tunnel that will take you to another part of town called uptown. Some weird skater Nativ will stop next to you and start babbeling about collecting some money and buying a board. I guess there just aren't that many skaters in Nativ City, so he's pretty desperate for you to get one and race against him. We have other priorities to deal with first, however, so follow those familiar yellow signs again. You'll be able to collect some money and some mana balls on your way, as well as get chased around by some really annoying animals. Once at the shop, go ahead and buy the Basic Boomy, since it's pretty much all you can afford anyway. Kya will stick it in her hair... wait, I thought we were buying a weapon, not a fancy hairclip! ...Anyway, once you have your weapon, go behind the shop and break the two crates. You'll get some money but a couple of those pesky little creatures will come out. Now that we have a weapon, Beat them up to get a few mana balls. Go back the way you came and you'll be given the task of finding a big blue egg in the forest. The wolfen stole it yesterday, and you'll need to get it back. Now, instead of following the yellow signs, you'll need to follow the green signs (these guys must think you're a real dumbass!). The location of the egg will be marked on your map(what, no signs?) so go ahead and follow the green signs to make your way out to the forest. Don't stand too close to those plants when you hit them with your weapon, because they'll knock her down. They won't take any health, but it takes her a good second and a half to get up! :P [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2b: Find the Big Blue Egg! [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Flying Forest Once you're in the forest, you'll need to jump on to the ledge and shimmy across the gap. Watch out for those spiders though! There'll be a wolfen a little farther ahead, and it'll take 3 mana balls to turn him back. Since there were at least 5 across that gap you just crossed, you should be just fine. To get the mana balls above those exploding plants, use the air openings to fly up. Up fartherahead are two more wolfen and a few crates. Make a mental note to break most every crate you see, because you never know what might be inside. Jump over the fence on the right side of the building and use your boomerand to hit the orange piece of fruit off of the gate door. A pig will fall down with it! Roll the pig over to the pressure pad and the door will open. Jump on to the top of the building and drop down inside. Pull the switch to open the door and claim the map sitting to the right of the switch. With this handy dandy map, you'll be able to see where all the wolfen in this area are! Go back near the beginning and use the air gusts to rise up onto a slide. Use the air gust to get back up where you were and try to land on one of those exploding plants. If you don't you'll get a rather large loss of health. To the right of where you first came in, you'll find an opening with a large gust of wind coming out of it. At the end you'll see a rather un-sturdy looking machine. Press the button and a bomb will pop out. Use it to destroy the wall. Behind the wall were a few of those creatures you can easily destroy with your bow and arrow. Guess what else was behind the wall? Another wall. Make the machine poop out another bomb and this time kick the bomb up to the wall. Beyond the formerly walled up section is a hidden area with 5 crates. Look to your right and you'll see a small opening that you can only get in using the crouch position. Crawl under there and open up all the crates. Four of the five crates contain enemies, but the fifth contains a good amount of moolah. Go back out and jump up onto the next level. There are two wolfen here and an annoying machine that coughs out bombs at you. It can be a little hard to dodge but it's not impossible. Beat up the two wolfen plus the one that was manning the air canon and exorcise them all. Take a ride up the gust of wind and beat up some more wolfen. Use the bomb machine and kick the bomb at the red-shaded rocks. Head down this path and use the amber rocks to regenerate if you have to. Walk onto the lift and use your boomerang to hit the switch. A whole gang of wolfen are waiting for you at the top, so be ready to take them on. Up ahead is a section of bridge with a large rock in front of it. Use your boomerang to cut down the rock and the rest of the bridge will flop down. A powerful enemy awaits you over the bridge. When it has electricity running through it, do NOT throw your boomerang at it! The electricity will run through the boomerang right to Kya! Also make sure to jump when the ring of electricity comes too close for comfort. This guy aint so tough once you know how to take him out. Head down the floating wooden steps and move onward. You probably need to use the amber stone to regenerate. Once you've done that press onward and you'll reach a wolfen camp. Read the sign to know what Atea wants you to do, but actually... getting noticed on purpose isn't such a bad idea either. Why? Because there are only four wolfen here, and we need to exorcise as many of the poor guys as we can, right? So, if you think you can handle four wolfen at once, go ahead and get noticed by the wolfen who walks up and down. He'll ring a bell and the rest will come running. Go through the camp and you'll soon see the blue egg you've been fighting so hard to get on the other side of a gate. Since there's no obvious way of getting through this gate, you'll need to simply go around it. On the other side of the cliff with the egg is a small lift. Use your boomerang to hit the button to make it go up and walk toward the egg. The egg, however, doesn't last very long. It ends up hatching into what looks like a flying Nativ. He's actuall a "Galbo" named Stuff. He'll shoot some sound waves at your head and soon you'll see Atea is talking to you! Unfortunately, you need a board to ride down the slopes, so follow the bird dude down. Hmm... Some rocks are blocking the way... No worry. Just use some bombs from the bomb machine that's near the egg's old resting place. Before you do ANYTHING in this new area, hear this: Some of those grassy stumps sticking out of the water are actually monsters waiting ot eat you! Don't be an idiot like me and jump right on to one! Look closely to see which one has an arrow pointing at it and jump on that one! If you're like me, then you'll probably miss a few of the jumps anyway still. Thankfully, you just start back at the front of the wolfen camp, so it really isn't that bad of a trek back. Once on the other side, use three mana balls to unlock the shell elevator! Step on the golden-colored button and jump down to get transported back to the village. Nativ Village At the village, you'll watch a cutscene that tells you a little more about the shell elevators and a brief history of them(very brief infact). The guy with the parrot will start talking to you(with the parrot chirping in every now and then) and then will take you to his house to talk more. Once he's done explaining about the medallion(s), you'll get a message that a new shop has just opened! Just follow the giant glaring arrows as usual. In this show you can get a yellow bracelet(100), magic board(50) and a telescope(30). Go ahead and buy the board first . Now you can either buy the telescope now or save up and get the bracelet first, it doesn't matter that much. To use the telescope, press R1 and move the right joystick to zoom in and out. Also, remember that whenever you get a new bracelet, you need to go to Akasa's dojo (the "Bravo!" guy, remember) to receive the correct training. Right now before doing anything else, I suggest going back to the Roots to unlock the shell elevator there and exorcise any wolfen you might not have gotten the first time you were there. Once you've done that, head uptown and follow the arrows to the slide. Eventually you'll come across the Speed Racing area. You can come here anytime to race whenever you want. Plus, you can bet $! You can't bet much (5, 10 or 15 is all) but it's still nice to get money when racing. When you've had your jollies with the racing for now, head back to the Flying Forest(use your map if you can't remember where it's located). Flying Forest Once there, you'll have to trek all the way back to the area where the blue egg once was. To the right of the egg's old basket will be a slide you can use your board on! At first you'll probably make a few mistakes on the jumps and stuff, but for the most part it's a pretty easy ride. Be sure to unlock the shell elevator at the end. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2c: Get the Receptacle! [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] You'll need to first roll the micken(the pig like creature) over to the wall and then jump on to it. When Kya is jumping on him, press X to jump even higher. This jump will be high enough to get over the wall. Watch out for the electrical guys here. Use your boomy to cut down the rock holding the bridge up. Next, you'll need to roll the other micken up here to the next wall in order for you to get over it. Once over the wall, jump into the gust of air and jump over the wall. Take out the wolfen and cut down the fruit up above a bit. The micken will run over and eat it. Jump up above the gust of wind and cut down the fruit that's above that. The micken will run up and eat that. Finally, run down to the far end and cut down the fruit there. Now, you'll be able to use the micken to jump up to where the lever is. Take out the five spiders circling the lever. Walk onto the lift and hit the lever by throwing your boomy at it. You'll need to jump onto the next cliff asap after the lift rises up because it'll come back down just as fast. You can take out the little spider guys by hitting the electrical plants when one of the spiders wanders a little too close to them. Just watch out so that you don't get zapped in the process. Cross the floating wooden steps and navigate your way through the vine-encrusted wind tunnel. Once you're through, stand on the viney area and hit the switch with your boomy. Float across the viney rocks and you'll be alerted by Stuff that a wolfen up ahead is armed and dangerous. So, sneak up to the switch and hit it. Luckily, the wolfen was standing on the same type of thing you were when you flew over those rocks! Now go up to where the ill-fated wolfen was standing. Hit the lever and quickly jump up onto the lift. Sneak across the bridge and very quickly beat the shit out of him. Go across the next bridge and... uh-oh! Look who decided to... drop in! *has rotten tomatoes thrown at him* Sorry! Well, just give him a good exorcising and climb up the one-time bridge. Regenerate at the amber stone if needed and continue on. Beat up the wolfen here(you don't have to worry as much because he doesn't have a gun). Use the micken to jump on top of the house and cross the roof bridge. Inside the second house will be a crate with some $ and another micken for you to use to get back on the roof. There's also a lever that will open the door. Over the next and final bridge you'll be able to get across the two locked doors from earlier. Before you hit the button and take a cannon-ride, go inside the little hut to get some stuff. Once you've taken all of that, make like a 1920's circus performer and shoot yourself over to the next area. First you'll want to unlock the shell elevator for easy access back to Nativ City and easy access for coming back here. On the other side will be two electric blobs, kind of like the one you faced earlier. Take them out and climb up the steps. Jump down and you'll watch a cutscene. Kya ALMOST gets the receptacle, but a winged creature manages to knock her down and snatch it before her! Damn! Use one of the amber stones to regenerate and slide after the bastard. This slide is a little more tricky than the ones you've faced before. You'll have to be a quick thinker on this one. Don't worry too much if you fall off. The bird dude will wait wherever you fell off. Hey, he might of taken what you've been trying to get, but at least he's a fair guy. :P Once you're through, beat up the three wolfen and the electric blob. Step on the wooden area that was behind the electric blob guy and a craneish thing will come over. Hop on and get transported to the other side. Inside the birds nest you'll find the receptacle. Woot! Unlock the shell elevator and head on back to Nativ City. You'll see a clip showing Nativ's, Wolfen and Brazul. It can't be good... I'd just like to point out, incase you hadn't noticed, that you can see how many wolfen are left in each area on the shell elevators. Step on the button of whichever area you want to go and below the picture will be a number telling you how many wolfen still need to be exorcised. It's a pretty helpful tool that you can use to find every last Nativ. Nativ City You'll get a message from Atea telling you that he's waiting for you in the Hunter's Domain. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2d: Join Atea in the Hunter's Domain [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Before going to the Hunter's Domain, a new shop will have opened in Nativ City. Here, you can get the much-needed climbing gloves as well as the green bracelet. Since it's one of your objectives to get the climbing gloves, you should probably buy that first. If you still have a hundred nooties left, go get the yellow bracelet if you haven't done that yet. Incase you're a little short on cash, try out one of the minigames to get some money. Don't forget to go to Bravo's... I mean Asaka's dojo to get some training. For a quick and easy way to get to the Hunter's Domain, go to the elevator room and Stuff will point out which elevator is the most practical. Flying Forest Once here, look around until you see the air canon that you once used to get over here. Use it again to go back. Then, go inside one of the houses and use a micken to jump up onto the roof. Go back to the cave that had the vines in it. Climb up and around and make sure you keep on moving so one of those creatures doesn't hit you. Jump over to the other side and jump up and grab onto the vines that have taken over the bottom side of the area above you. Once across, jump over to the next side and climb up the vines there. Try to avoid the spiders as they will knock you off. Hop across to the side with the switch and bomb machine. Hit the machine so it spits out a bomb. Make sure the bomb is on the pieces of wood that are a different color than the rest. When the timer gets down to about 2, hit the switch. This'll take out both the wolfens at the top so you don't have to. Ride the lift to the top and after exorcising both the wolves, hit the switch that's to the right and take a ride all the way to where a hole in the wall blows some very strong wind at you. Before Kya hits it, you'll want to make her jump up and grab the vines on the ceiling. Wait there until another wooden lift makes its way by. Jump down onto that one and except for a couple of jumps its smooth sailing from there. When you reach your next destination, there will be a few frost-spitting monsters that you'll have to take out, as well as about two dozen spiders. Take them all out and then go down the slide on the left. At the bottom will be a bomb machine. Take one out and roll it next to the stones. Climb up the vines and make sure you sneak around the wolfens with the guns. You'll see a doorway on the left side of the area. Go inside and climb up the vines there. You'll be above the two wolfens. Jump onto the trolley and ride it all the way across. Make sure you jump on the correct side so none of the wolfens see you. After a while a hammer will hit the center of the trolley. You'll need to jump around so that when it turns you won't be visible to any wolfen. When your trolly is getting stamped by the large rock, simply jump straight up after the fourth beep. You should land on the next ledge that comes your way. Do this until your trolly starts moving again. Jump off when you see another moving trolly of sorts below you. Jump onto that one and crouch down so the wolfen don't see you. When it stops for the second time jump out quick before you get flattened by that boulder! Whack the switch on the other side of the gate to set off a chain reaction of doors opening! If you go to your left you'll notice a sign that says that this is the Air Post access. However, if you walk up to the door Stuff will notify you that you don't have what it takes to open the lever on the other side of the door(no, he wasn't egging you on, you just literally don't have anything to open that lever). If you walk to your right Stuff will tell you that he "saw an extra energy bar hidden right here!". You're gonna need to sneak up on the wolfen that's just around the corner here(near the entrance) and beat him up. Then you need to walk up onto the upper level. Look around until you see Stuff and his arrow pointing at where you need to get to. To get here, you're gonna need to take out a few guys. You need to walk around to get to the white pieces of wood that are on the side of the area with the extra piece of health. All of the wolfen surveying the different trollys getting hit by the rocks that are in the way need to be beaten up except for the last two. There are two ways you can go about taking these guys out. The easiest way to take them out is to use the air canon up there. You can adjust the distance of the bombs by holding the square button. This makes for a bunch of easy kills as long as you can shoot them accurately and quick. However, that's a little risky because they all seem to be very skilled at shooting you off. Another way you can do it is by executing one combo on one guy, running away, regenerating your health at the bottom using the amber stone, and repeat. Remember to sneak up to the wolfen when you're going to attack. Taking the last two guys out by fighting is nearly impossible however, so luckily they're the easiest ones to take out with the canon. Once they're all exorcised and back in Nativ City, head down to where the last two were. To get inside, you need to attack the target fast and furiously. Tap that square button with all you got and you should be in in no time. Once she has her extra energy bar, Kya will be showered in some weird golden stuff. Looks like she's enjoying it, eh? If you're trying to get all the Nativs, you'll want to take out the rest of the wolfen here. If you're good at using it, the canon can shoot a few more of them down. A couple of them will likely need to be taken out by hand though. I was able to take out one of the two guarding the front entrance to the area using the canon but I had to sneak up and attack the other. If you just can't seem to kill one or more of them then just leave them here and come back later when you have a few more tricks up your sleeve. Once you've gotten your nifty new energy bar, go back down to ground level and jump up onto the crates up to an area with a lever. Walk onto the rising platform and hit the lever with your boomy. You'll be shot really far up! Try to land on the bullseye plant as always. What's that purple thing? If you walk up to it Atea will notify you that it's the "forest rune". If you go up to it it'll shoot onto Kya's belt and she'll get twice the mana capacity. But you can't just get that and expect to not be put up to a challenge! |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - | BOSS FIGHT 1! Lava Monster |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - | This guy is hella easy. All you have to do is hit each of the six glowing areas on his stomach with your boomy. You can also destroy the small lava piles that he spits out by hitting them with your boomy. The bottom two glowing spots can be taken out on the ground, but the upper four have to be hit while on one of the rocks on each side of Kya. Once you've taken him out, run down to the lift and ride it up to the Hunter's Domain. Hunter's Domain After running a little bit ahead, you'll get a distress call from Atea. He's in trouble somehow, somewhere, so we'd better hurry up and get going. Inside to the right will be a shell elevator that you're gonna want to unlock. Directly ahead will be a pack of Jamgut that you can't ride yet because you don't have the birdcall. Finally, to your right will be a closed road with no apparent means of opening it. So, for now, let's use the shell elevator and make a trip back to Nativ City. Nativ City You'll watch a cutscene showing a very distraut looking Nativ talking about how the "hunter" got Atea. This hunter is one of the worst kind of wolfen. You'll get the location of the hunter's dungeon on your map. This is where Atea will most likely be. While you're in town, you're also going to want to buy a Jamgut birdcall. You should be able to follow the arrows as usual to the newest shop. The Jamgut birdcall will be in a shop uptown. It's 70 nooties, so you should be able to buy it. With the Jamgut birdcall in hand, go back to the Hunter's Domain. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2e: Rescue Atea! [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Hunter's Domain Immediately jump on one of the Jamgut. That's all you have to do. The Jamgut birdcall is used automatically. Jump over the gate and ride through the swirling torrent of rocks and other stuff. The Jamgut can simply squish any little monsters that come after you and can also destroy any crates by just ramming into them. Just so you know, the Jamgut can also destroy most fences. :) The Jamgut makes riding through a large area like Hunter's Domain fun and enjoyable, so enjoy it while it lasts. Eventually you'll come across two wolfen. Simply ram them to hurt 'em. To get off to exorcise them, hold L2 and jump in any direction aside from straight up. Shortly after taking out those two wolfen, you'll need to say farewell to the Jamgut for now and climb up the vines. There will be an electric blob up ahead, but you've fought enough of these to need me to explain how to take them out again. :). Jump over and crawl under some vines and unlock the shell elevator up ahead. Around the corner from that in a small tunnel-ish area will be a frost monster. Take him out and up ahead will be a lift with two weak monsters on it. Take them out with your boomy and ride the lift to the top. If you're anything like me you'll be very very glad to see the amber stone at the top. Once you're done recharging, walk over to the small white section of bridge that keeps falling and coming back up. You'll need to jump over to the other side very quickly, so try to time it right. You'll see three wolfen ahead and Stuff will give you a little advice on how to "rile them up". So, go ahead and do what he says. After a while, they'll start beating each other up! Keep thwacking them with your boomy until there's only one left. Then show him who's been doing it the whole time by knocking him out. After that's over and done with, go farther ahead and you'll see another small group of wolfen above you. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get this new tactic to work on these guys, so I guess you'll just have to wait until you have another group of wolfen that are really close to each other. Farther up you should see another rock suspended by a rope. As usual, break the rope by throwing your boomy at it and the rock will fall revealing a bridge. Across the bridge and up the vines will be two wolfen. These guys don't have guns, so go ahead and climb right up there and kick their asses! Across the bridge will be another three wolfen. Once again, these guys don't have any guns so if you think you can handle it, just run(or sneak) right up and give em the ol' one-two. Jump down at the end of the area and climb up the vines that should be to your left. There will be two wolfen here that shouldn't pose much of a threat if you sneak up. Down below will be a group of three. If you want, you can slip down and try the boomy trick, you can attack, or you can mount the Jamgut and run each of them down(my personal favorite). With your new Jamgut, jump over the broken bridge that's to the right of where the Jamgut first was. Keep running until you come to a lift. Stand on the white button and you'll move over to the other side. Jump to the other side and get off the Jamgut. Climb up the vines that are in front of you and scope out your surroundings. Two wolfen are keepin tabs on two of the areas between the crates. As soon as the red beam moves backwards run down and duck to the left in the alcove. When the red light has moved far enough ahead, go back out and run to the right. When dealing with the second read beam, all you need to do is follow it very closely until you can duck out to the right. Then wait until it's gone back far enough so you can leave this section of the area. Press the button on the wall with your boomy and be careful when you're fighting this tougher version of a wolfen. He'll need 15 mana balls to exorcise! If you don't have enough, try and remember to come back when you do. Inside the little hut area will be the wolfen map for this area. Make sure you grab it or you'll have a hell of a time trying to get the last few. :P You'll also notice a ramp leading up to where the two wolfen with the red beams were. Taking them on is pretty dangerous but necessary. Once you've taken down one, run and hide so the second one can't get you. Wait for him to go back and then knock him out. Continuing on, you'll notice a bridge that only a Jamgut can jump across. By hitting the target on the wall next to the door to your left, you can go back and get the Jamgut you left waiting before climbing the vines on the walls when you first got here. Take him to the broken bridge and jump across. Unfortunately, the Jamgut is too heavy to ride the wind gust. So, leave him on the lift, ride up the wind, and press the lever to bring your trusted companion up with you. Make sure you watch out for the electric blob guy though! Mount the Jamgut and jump over the broken bridge. Flatten the ice monster and dismount. See that door? Use the gust to the left of it to get on the other side and press the button. With the door now open, mount the Jamgut once again and ride through. On the other side will be a dog that will try and grab Kya. If he grabs her he viciously shakes and bites her, which results in you starting over behind a closed door. The way I killed him was by simply making him run off the edge, so I'm not sure if there is another way. Hop across the small gap to the bomb machine. The bombs that this machine spits out don't have a time limit, so you can play with this one as much as you want. What you're going to want to do is roll it along until you come up to that broken bridge. Then, kick the bomb and when it is close to the rocks, throw your boomy at it to detonate it. Once the rocks are clear, jump across the broken bridge. You'll see a gap with a bunch of mana balls in it. We can't use this yet because we don't have the correct item needed. So instead lets go to the Hunter's Dungeon and get Atea. To get there we're going to need to go through the blocked door. Simply hit the target to get the doors to open. Ride through with your Jamgut, hop over the natural fence and across the bridge. Activate the shell elevator and grab the mana balls on the bridge before going to the dungeon. Also, you might want to go back to town before heading there, incase you want to buy something or check out any new shops that may have opened.Follow the arrow and press the white button on the lift. Exit the lift onto the new area and run ahead to a really odd looking opening. Once you get close enough it'll open though. Once through, you'll need to stand on your Jamgut and jump in order to reach the vines that are halfway up the wall. On the other side you'll be able to open the door. Remount your Jamgut and jump over the broken bridge. In the next area with the suspended box that moves back and forth, you'll need to stand on your Jamgut once again. When the box is near you, jump up and grab onto it. On the other side will be a lever that'll let your Jamgut ride over to your side. To your right will be a large wolfen that you'll definitely want to take out while on your Jamgut. After exorcising him, put your Jamgut on the wooden platform(like the one he rode on just a second ago)and go back and jump over the broken bridge. There'll be a ton of little guys that will be a piece of cake to squish with your Jamgut. Climb up the vines and over the wall and walk over the bridge that's covered in wind gusts(anyone else wondering where all this WIND is coming from?). On the second wind gust is a set of floating platforms with a bunch of mana balls on the last one. If you want them or need them go for it, but if you don't get the hell outta there. On the next side hit the lever so your Jamgut can come join you. Get on and jump across one of the many prevalent broken bridges around here. This next part is a little tricky. You'll get a little tip from Stuff which you should listen to. Stand a little bit next to the box when you hit the target. I had a hell of a time getting on it, so good luck! Once you've gotten across and are on the other side, there will be a large wolfen across the bridge. It's pretty easy to make him fall off, but then again it's pretty easy for you to fall off too! If you have the green bracelet, I just jumped on him and bounced off before he ran off the edge. Cut the cord holding up the rock on the far end and go back to where you were at first. Beat up the two wolfen guards down here and enter the hut. The blue monster inbetween the two plant monsters will spit manaballs out at you when you hit it, so use this to your advantage. Look around until you spot the large tree with many manaballs circling around it. Around this mana tree is a fire-spitting monster. These monsters spit fireballs in groups of three and then take a break for a few seconds. Use the brake to hit them with your boomy. Through the opening to the left of the tree will be two more of these guys. You'll likely lose more health fighting two, so if you lose too much remember that there's an amber stone inside that shack out where you were a minute ago. Turn a bit and you should see a bridge that's being held up by some rope. A fire-spitting monster will appear when you get close enough, so take him out and cut the bridge free. Go get your Jamgut and ride out to where you were before. You should see a broken bridge. You know what to do when you reach a broken bridge on a Jamgut by now, right? There will be three wolfen in this new area, so take them all out with your Jamgut. On one side of the building will be a large stack of crates. Crush them all and jump off of your Jamgut onto the vines. Hitting the target will open the gate and hitting the lever will open up one of the areas filled with goodies. Go inside and get your stuff then hit the lever to the left of you. It'll open up another. Once again grab the stuff and to open the final one, you'll need a silver boomy. The silver boomy is aimable. It's time once again to say farewell to your Jamgut. Head forward and jump off him onto the vines. Grab the ledge and jump down on the other side so you don't take any damage. Press the button to open the door and proceed to the other side. You'll get a message from Atea telling you that he was thrown away with what looked like... well, stuff you would throw away. Activate the shell elevator incase you need to head back to town or somewhere else. If you try to explore this new area, Atea will become very impatient, so I guess it would be best if we went down to the sewers right now... Directly to the right of the shell elevator is a sign that tells you this area goes to the sewers. Jump in for a board ride down the sewer! Sometimes hitting the opening and closing doors can be inevitable, so just try to be going the slowest possible speed when you hit them. Everything is pretty easy until you get to a spot where you have to choose to follow one of two weird looking grates. Follow the RIGHT one. The left one leads you right over an area that has no floor! Then, after a few seconds, you need to jump over to the left because now the right doesn't have a floor. You need to do this a third time as well... Next you'll have to worry about lava and rocks. Try to slide on the opposite side of the lava or rocks, which changes pretty often. You'll undoubtedly take some damage here, and might even have to do it a few times. Sewers Once you reach the end jump down(but watch out for the grates going back and forth) and land on the bullseye plant. You'll come to another slide. This one ... it's definitely harder than the first, but I managed to get through it on my first try. When you land, you'll see two familiar faces. The bird guy will tell you to hit the switch, and when you do... well, he can't blame you for it. Jump up a few times until you get over the wall. Now you're in for a long but easy float through this lava tunnel. Once you get to the end, someone will be there. BOSS FIGHT 2! The Hunter Things look kinda tough, don't they? Well, what you're going to need to do is kick the bombs he throws that don't immediately detonate at him and throw your boomy at them so they explode on him not you. Don't just run up to every bomb though, as some of them immediately detonate. It can be a little tricky to get the hang of, but once you know how to do it it's a piece of cake. First of all, you need to take out the four circular objects on the basket. There are two on each side. See them? Blow them up. Once they're gone, you can go directly for the hunter himself. Once those objects are gone though, the basket will start to breath fire. It can only breath fire directly ahead, though, so all you have to do to avoid it is hide behind the rocks on either side. It only takes three more bombs to take him out. Good luck! Once you've take him out, an explosion will cause a bridge to form. Cross it, and Atea will tell you that he has news about your brother! Open the shell elevator and head back to Nativ City. Nativ City You'll come "home" to thousands of cheering fans. If Kya hadn't proved herself before, then she definitely has now. Atea will take you and explain that Frank is being held in Brazul's laboratory. However, he and a few other Nativ's have a plan for getting him back. Once you have control of Kya, you'll need to buy the Magic Bouncers. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2f. Climb the Wind Tower to Reach the Quarry [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] To get the magic bouncers, go up to where the Freefall 1 mini-game is. The shop with them (and the silver boomy which I reccommend getting) is to the left of that. The silver boomy has longer range than the boomy you've been using. Once you have your items, go back to the elevator room. Stuff will tell you which one you should take, so take it! Hunter's Domain You'll come back to the crossroads area from before. The green arrow points to the wind tower/quarry area, so follow that. Once you're at the narrow gap(remember it from before?) go inside and jump from wall to wall until you're at the top. Go through both of the strange circular doors and open the shell elevator in the next area. After walking a bit to the right, Stuff will tell you that you "need to listen to the wind" to get to the top of the tower. What he means by that is at certain times, wind will come out of nowhere and start pushing you around. To climb to the top, you'll need to wait for the wind to die down in certain areas so you don't get blown off. After climbing for a bit, you'll come to a spot with a TON of vines. There will be different forms of wind-blockers along these vines. Up the first set, you should see some shutters to your left and half a rock to your right. Wait there until the wind dies down(even if it hasn't started yet, wait there until it does). Hop across to the next set of vines and wait by the rock there. Go to the next set of vines, jump across to the ledge and wait down there before entering the next place. You don't want to get blown off after coming all this way, right? Inside there will be a wolfen with what appears to be a rocket launcher. Sneak up behind the two crates. Make yourself seen. He'll shoot into one of the crates. Since he can't fire continuously, use this time to run up and beat him down. To the left of where the wolfen was guarding is a button in the floor. Press it to activate a lift outside. Get on it and use the different wind gusts. You won't have any wind problems here so take your time. Grab onto the vines and go across avoiding the spiders. Eventually you'll come to another area that makes use of your new magic bouncers. Go up and hide behind whatever the hell that thing is at the end there. @_@ Jump on to the lift and when the wind comes jump across to the other side. Cut down the rocks and climb up the ladder that the falled box forms. Up here will be a wolfen that's really easy to take out, but not very easy to take out and not make him fall out the window... Try luring him away from the window so you can still exorcise him. You should see a sign that tells you where to go to get to the quarry elevator. Go downstairs and go on the elevator. The Quarry [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2g. Find the Entry to the Amber Mine [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Up ahead will be a monster that spits out mana balls. Use this guy as much as you need. Even better, there's an amber stone next to him, so you can replenish your mana supply after regenerating. And believe me, you'll need all the mana and amber stones you can get around here. Walking along the path, you should notice something. There's toxic gas all around you! Thankfully, theres a plentiful supply of amber and mana around every corner, so you should be ok. The amber stones also create a small radius of clean air, so you're not losing as much health as you are regenerating. :-) At the end of the road will be a set of hammers with flat tops that you can jump on. Before you jump on the first one, go to the edge and look to your left. You should see a small outcropping with two crates on it. There's some money in both of those crates. Not much, but if you need it, I suggest riding the first hammer when it swings back and then jumping onto the outcropping. Once you have the money, use the net on the wall to climb back up to where you were before. Watch out for the hammer though! Once you have your cash, time it right so you get across both of the hammers. In the next area, aim your boomy at the piece of fruit hanging above you (to aim your boomy, hold R1). As usual, a micken will show up and munch on the fruit. Roll him over to the bottom of the next level and jump on him to get up. A few enemies will be here but as usual they'll be no match for you. At the edge of the cliff area when you're waiting for the spinning machine to get to you you can take out all the enemies on the other side with your boomy. This new silver one's got some range, eh? When you finally get on, make sure you crouch when you go under a rock. Climb up to the next level and after running for a second another one of those extremely annoying dogs will come after you. What I did was let it chase me and then drop down back to the lower level, but not all the way down. Just drop down and hang. Chances are he'll go flying right off the edge. <:) Farther ahead will be a shell elevator and another mana-spitter. This one is guarded by two plant monsters but they're easy to take out. Past them is a door that can only be opened by using 350 mana at once! You'll need to come back here a little... well, a long time from now. This place looks like some kind of wolfen stronghold... There's one wolfen up ahead and a lava-spitting flying bug. Smack the bug with your boomy a few times and go up and attack the wolfen. Starting from the left(ignoring the obstacle you need a Jamgut for), the first doorway holds a gun-toating wolfen and some crates. The wolfen can't be snuck up on because he's marching in a circular pattern... So, climb up the part of the fence on the building that DOESN'T have an electric current running through it and follow the path. You end up at the top of the building inside. Jump on the crate and use the net on the ceiling to get across. There will be a while button here you'll need to press. This button will release a set of crates that will let you sneak past the wolfen below. In another shining example of focus and intelligence, the wolfen doesn't even seem to notice the crates fall from the ceiling. Wow... After sneaking across all of the crates, you'll need to press a button to open the door. On the other side will be a small and large wolfen. To the right of the first electric fence will be an electric generator. You'll need a bomb to destroy it, but don't go rushing in just yet. Lure the dog out and make a bomb come out with your boomy while you're waiting safely on the outside of the area. If you can manage to time it right, you can destroy the dog with it if he walks by it when it detonates. With the dog out of the picture, take one of the bombs and place it next to the generator. You'll see the current stop on one of the sides. Run down to a door with two red circles on each side. If you hit them both in a short amount of time, the door will open and you'll have access to the King Jamgut! This guy can run a lot faster than a normal Jamgut when you press and hold square. If you hit the switch, you'll find that you're right next to the very jump where you needed one of these guys. In this tunnel area, there will be a few of the same red-circular switches you'll need to hit with your boomy. Instead of getting off the Jamgut altogether, simply stand on his back and hit them. The last door will open and shut very fast, so you'll need to make full use of the speed ability this Jamgut has! Once you're out, you'll notice a convoy leaving! [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2h. Follow the Cargo of Amber [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] You'll need to catch up to it if you want to get any farther. Plus, you'll have extra motivation, because a giant rotitiller will be grinding things up behind you! You'll need to climb aboard the convoy once you reach it. The ride there can be pretty damn trecherous, for there will be quite a few crystals falling from the ceiling and holes in the ground to dodge. At the end of the convoy will be two red buttons that will open up the back of the convoy. Getting on is pretty tough, so don't be suprised if you fall off the edge of the world a few times... You'll notice that on the inside of the convoy itself is a target. Hit that and then enter the convy via the side entrance. I tried entering it with my Jamgut, but I couldn't get that to work so I stood on his back and jumped in. Thing is, the Jamgut then magically appeared inside... a glitch perhaps? Anyway, once you're inside kick that smug wolfen's ass. Then, climb onto the roof and press the white button. This will open a large door on the lead wagon. Hop on in there and take out the wolfen. Climb up and on the top of the captain's section will be an air canon. I thought to myself, "Why the heck is this here?". I then fired it and discovered the wolfen in the front cabin had died. Oohhhh.... Use your boomy to hit the target in the captains cabin. Once the train comes to a halt, go out and look to the right of the large closed door. Hit the target and regenerate if needed. The train has stopped moving completely, so you'll need to go the rest of the way on foot. Attack the large wolfen and ride up the gust of wind to unlock the shell elevator above. Go back down and climb the vines to the right. For the next part, you're going to need a new board. The next area where you have to slide down is impossible without the Speed Board. The Speed Board is in a shop that will not open until you have seventy-five wolfen. If you don't have that many, use the numbers on the shell elevators to find the places that have the most left. One of the places that you probably haven't been to exorcise wolfen is a large section of the Hunter's Domain. Go there and look at the map. A few of these places with the wolfen are accessible by a Jamgut. Remember the crossroads area here where there were three paths? Go straight forward in this one (aim and hit the target to open the gate), put your Jamgut on the lift, hit the electric plant a few times and then climb up the cliff yourself. Up here there should be a few wolfen to exorcise. If there aren't for some reason or if you already got them, try another area. There's bound to still be a bunch here. Once you have 75, go back to Nativ City and locate which store you need to go to by looking at your map. The store you need to visit should have a crosshairs-type thing over it. This store will sell the Speed Board that you need! It's only 50 nooties, so you should have that unless you recently went on a shopping spree or something. In that case try winning enough money at one of the minigames as usual. When you have your board, use the shell elevator to get back to where you were before. A Nativ will be there and will explain to you that you need to use your magic board to get up to where the cart full of amber is. Ride the speed bumps and you'll end up flying VERY high into the sky! Land on the bullseye plant and jump onto the cargo. Press square, and after a second the Nativ will pull a switch. Hang on! You'll wind up in what looks like the inner-area of the quarry where they actually mine the amber. The entire place has an eery red glow from all the mining lamps. Up ahead will be what Stuff calls a "Wolfen-zeplin". Run onto it and stand on the green button to move forward and the x button to stop the vehicle(if that's even what it is!) You'll need to utilize this skillfully, as there are many different obstacles you'll need to avoid. The two bullseye plants on the zeplin that are keeping it level are easy to pop( as you should know) and if just one of them pops, you'll probably fall off. However, if you can somehow manage to stay up long enough, it'll grow back. Hey... What exactly is that green stuff on the bottom of the mine, anyway? When you reach the end, a lone wolfen will take immediate notice of your presence by alerting another one to come kick your butt. Well, do to them what they wanted to do to you obviously. Farther along from the bomb machine is an indestructable beast just kinda sitting there... waiting... You'll need to use a bomb to destroy the rocks above it to kill it. But don't take a bomb just yet. Go up the ramp a bit and you'll come across a large wolfen. Exorcise him and continue on. There are some boxes with money and a few mana balls here you'll want to get first. Once you've done that, run down and get the bomb. You'll need to kick it over the small gap in the ramp. Make sure to kick it lightly. When you get to the end of the ramp, kick the bomb toward the large rock and detonate it with your boomy. A large chunk of the rock will fall directly down toward the monster, leaving the path for you a lot safer than it was a minute ago. Past the once indestructable monster is another zeplin. This one doesn't stop though and has a canon on it. Hmm.. I guess the wolfen knew exactly what they had to do, as should you once you take a look around. You'll need to fire off a round from the canon at each indestructable monster's indestructable rock. It's actually pretty easy. Well, easier than the last zeplin endeavor that is. Kya can actually stay secured on to the canon without slipping if one of the plants is destroyed. Also, don't forget that you can make the bombs shoot farther by holding the square button and using the red bar as a judge of the distance the bomb will go! At the end of the "ride" will be some mana balls, more crates and a lava spewing monster. Kill his ass and take the stuff. There is also a small group of rocks here that need to be taken out with the air canon. Through the rocks is... another zeplin. *glares at developers* This time, the ride is very similar to the first zeplin you took except about five times harder... no, make that fifty. I didn't even notice the two flames that are nearest to the zeplin until they took me out the first time I tried this area... *looks away in shame* Anyway, yeah this place is pretty hard, but you'll get through it. I believe in you, reader! When you've passed all of the flames, two giant tillers will come out and pop your ship. No, you can't dodge this, so just let it happen. You'll fall a long way, so make sure you land on one of the plants you were formerly relying on. If you thought the ride was over, you were dead wrong sucka! MORE FIRE! ... The flames around this jewel-encrusted area don't stay on as long as the ones before, so it's actually a bit easier to get around. At the end of this joyride will be... another zeplin... Just kidding! Heh, you were ready to strangle me through your computer screen I bet. Actually, there are three wolfen here to exorcise, a rock to destroy and a really really deep hole to fall down. After you've destroyed the rock, take the mana and hit the red button on the wall. If you've been playing any of the Freefall mini- games in town, you should be ok with this. Even if you have though, there's still a LOT of things to hit here. Just like so many other things in this game, you may die a few times but that doesn't make it impossible. After a bit of descending, you'll come across an illuminated area with some wolfen. Exorcise them. You may notice that there are even more wolfen on an upper-level. Don't worry about this for now, instead continue descending. You'll come across even more wolfen on the next level down. These guys have sniper rifles though, so don't mess around. On this level is a large lever. Before you do anything though, go to the right of the lever. This air gust lets you go to the upper-tier area of the level above. Yeah, the same area with the wolfen you didn't get to before. Head back down after taking care of them and mess with that lever a bit. The center position causes the fan over the hole to blow lightly upwards, allowing you to float. The left position turns off the fan completely, and the right position turns it on full blast. When it's on full blast, you can get on the upper ledge where all these snipers are doing their sniping. These guys literally kill themselves almost! I had two of them fall off and die by themselves believe it or not. They also have to cock their rifles, unlike the guys with the machinegun pistols from earlier. This allows you to get more movement in. Still, getting close to them can be pretty dangerous, but it's necessary if you're going to exorcise all the wolfen. When you're finished, return the lever so that the fan is turned off. Then, descend once again into the unknown. This is the hardest freefall so far, so watch out. At the bottom there will be a few spiders and an entrance to a slightly lower area. Down here, jump over the spinning blades to the button that deactivates the whole thing. Jump down and descend a little more. The Nativ Aton will be back. He took a shortcut, saying that it was too dangerous for you. More dangerous than that? I doubt it, but follow him anyway. You'll wind up at the old refinery... and a trap. Whoops! Well, it was kinda obvious that Aton was acting more than just a little suspicious... Now you have a boss fight on your hands. BOSS FIGHT 3! Brazul. Brazul has a variety of attacks up his sleeve. Aside from the standard punching and kicking, he has an ice attack and a very wide-ranged wind attack. At one point during the battle, he'll even release poison gas on his own daughter! And I bet you thought your parents were mean... He even went to the trouble of taking out the heavy duty stuff(standing by the amber stone doesn't help in the least). However, once you decide to regenerate using it, the small amber stone activates the larger ones and they break off... ending this extremely one sided fight for now. Go down the path to the shell elevator and head back to Nativ City already! Hey, they might have sold you out, but you can't blame them... Nativ City You'll come back to a very bleak Nativ City. The villagers will call out to you to save them, and luckily there's a King Jamgut sitting right next to you. Take the only possible path for as long as it'll go(remember to press square to speed up) until you get near the zeplin. There should be a vehicle with a cannon on it next to the ship. Get on and shoot at the cannons on the zeplin that are firing at you. When a cannon is destroyed, the opening to the porthole stays open, creating an area for you to climb on. Destroy enough of these to make a path up the ship. Once on top, press the blue button to release the captured Nativ's. After a small cutscene describing this "forgotten island" Brazul was talking about, you'll be back in a better-than-ever Nativ City. Those Nativ's must work pretty quick! To progress further, you're going to need the golden boomy, which requires that you transform 110 wolfen! You might have quite a few more to get, so let's go to an area with a few. Even if you already have enough Nativs, this area also has something else you're gonna want to get anyway. That thing is the Hunter's Domain Rune! [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2i: Hunter's Domain Rune [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Hunter's Domain It's likely there's one area with quite a few wolfen to still exorcise in the Hunter's Domain(check the shell elevator). In particular, the area where you rid down to the sewer. Ahead of that is a large wolfen fortress with quite a few un-saved Nativs(this is of course assuming you didn't already get these guys. If you have, then just kinda skip down a bit). Head all the way in here until you reach the area where you're behind the snipers on the roof. The first red button you have to push is easy to figure out(just hit it once) but the second one might trick you. You have to hit each of the floating green balls circling around the red button. If you hit one twice in a row, it will trigger the release of one of those man-eating dogs, so make sure you do it right! Outside the window there are some vines. Take the vines right to reach an area with some new wolfen(if you haven't already taken care of the snipers on the roof, they're pretty easy to take out, as is the large wolfen). Climb up to the sectiond off area and drop down the hole. Out here will be a dog encircling a bullseye plant. What you need to do to get rid of him is have him chase you to the grinders to the left of the plant and trick him into jumping into them. After the dog is dead, stand on the white button and climb up the vine ladder. Climb across to where the bomb machine and lift are located. Place a bomb on the lift, activate the lift, and then place the bomb next to the stones. Head down the hole in the roof and then head down the next hole in the next roof as well. There will be a mana-spitting monster here that you will likely need. Use him, and then head through the gateway. There will be a pack of man-eating dogs here, so jump on the stacked crates asap. Then, climb across the roof over to the other side. There's some glass on the window that you'll need to break. Get in, and place a bomb next to the un-opened door. What should happen is... the dogs will constantly try to follow you through the closed door once you're on the other side. They'll continue to do this the whole time you're in the room. By placing a bomb next to the door, all of the little puppies should go BOOM! Once those pirahna-esque K9's are taken care of, go ahead and open the door by hitting the lever for easy access. In the next area will be another group of extremely easy to take down wolfen. Take a look through the barred-window on the large building here. Looks like a RUNE! I don't know about you but I could really go for 50 more mana. To get inside, you're gonna need to roll a bomb a very long way. But before we do that we should probably open up the door with the rocks we need to blow up, eh? Press the button by the door with the... well, with the button next to it. There will be a ton of red trip-wires around here that will release a pair of dogs at you. And you know you ain't gonna get very far if they're after you in that small of an area. It took me a few tries to get across. Once you do, head up the vines and take out the wolfen. To hit the target up above to bring down the lift, aim your boomy up and hit it. Aside there is a roof covered in vines that you have to cross. Time it right so the spiders don't hit you! When you're across be sure to press the button. It'll save you a lot of time if you fall down or die. You'll notice a few sniper laser's going across the vines. Obviously, you're gonna wanna avoid those. In the center of this batch of vines is a window. Brake the window while your two feet are still placed firmly onto the ground. Then climb over into it. There are three easily-taken out wolfen in here. Don't jump out the next window because that's just back farther from where we are. Instead, go out the window here with the button and press it. Go back out and onto the little ledge. Cross over it and break the glass on this side. Inside the same area, there should be a window that led out to where you already were before. From that window, jump over to the small area with the vine ladder going up. Up the ladder on top of the building will be a wolfen. Try to take him out here on the roof so you don't accidently knock him off the edge of the world. From the roof, scope out the area with the large wolfen walking around a large area. Jump and ride the air over to it. Beat up the wolfen and press the button near the amber stone. You'll see a wolfen press a set of buttons to get out. When you come down here, you're gonna have to press the same buttons as he did, or you're gonna wind up being a dogs lunch. Here are the buttons the wolfen presses: (in order) (button # is from bottom to top) (row # is from left to right) 2nd row, 1st button 1st row, 2nd button 3rd row, 3rd button 3rd row, 4th button 5th row, 3rd button 6th row, 4th button Through the door will be the wolfen that ran out earlier and two buttons. One of them opens a door back into the room you were just in and the other opens up this area to the outside world. Now you can finally get one of those bombs and blow up these rocks! Under the rocks is a sewer pipe with a few nasty critters. By nasty I mean filthy, not powerful. ;) At the end, climb up the vines into a room with two strange doors. They have the same green circles as the red buttons from a while back. The green buttons actually have two sides. One side is brown and the other is green. When one of the buttons is hit, the buttons directly to the left and right of it flip as well. You need to keep this in mind as you hit them. To open one of the doors, make all the buttons green. Inside the brown door is more cash than you could possibly imagine(about 1500!) and inside the silver door is the Hunter's Domain rune! YES! Trek back to where the shell elevator is. It's likely that the gate to the little enclosed area here has opened. Take out the two wolfen and take a ride on the canon if you ever need to get back over there. If you still don't have enough Nativ's, then try going to Wolfen City in the quarry or the area in the quarry where you used your Speed Board to chase the cargo of amber. That place specifically has another new area opened up that you should go explore. Before you go there though, you might wanna buy Quarry (second button on the elevator) [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2j: Quarry Rune [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Fresh out of the shell elevator, you'll remember that little area to the right if you went to check it out. Now that we have the speed board, we can actually get through there! Go over there and press the button. Immediately after doing that ride down hitting both speed bumps. You should get through fine. Jump across the different floating ledges and look down. If you hit the bullseye plant, all three dogs will fly into their respective traps! Sweet. Walk up the uphill area. There will be a few wolfen here with rifles. Take out the one you can get at and move over to the area with the two buttons to hit. The one button that looks like a tree turns the suction on and off, and the target makes it move. Hit both buttons and your prize will be... a micken! Jump on the micken to get over the fence. Under one of the boxes will be a button that opens the door out. If you're really nice, you'll roll the fruit over to the micken. But... with this next part, that act of kindness will kind of be forgotten. Roll the micken over to where the two ice monsters are. It's the place with all the flat-down ledges. Kill the ice monsters and jump up onto the cliff with the red button with the micken. Try to do this so the wolfen with the rifle doesn't notice you. Then you can just sneak up to him and kick him off. After hitting the red button, you'll need to use you wall-climbing skills. Jump off onto one of the side walls from the first ledge, and have Kya climb up the wall and jump backwards. She'll land on the ledge that was immediately above you. Remember that you need to press x to do this. At the top there are some very heavy wind gusts. Make your way upward, using the boxes of crystals as guards against the wind. At the top will be two wolfen and a canon that'll shoot you... who knows where! Instead, continue along the path. There will be a wolfen here. Take him out and press the lever. Walk across the bridge and hop into the wind. To get up onto solid ground, try diving deep into the wind and then letting it push you really high up. This way you should be able to get on to the ground. There are a lot of boxes up here as well as a switch. Hit it to open the door. Go to the right and then hit the other switch. This will cause a tiller to start up and two buttons will be revealed. Jump down and try them out. After hitting the X, all of the junk will be shreaded up in an instant. When you hit the target, large Tetris-like blocks of the stuff begin to fall. As soon as the first block falls, jump onto it. Then, as more blocks fall, try to climb up the newly-forming mass. If you get stuck or end up thrown off, just hit the x and target and try again. Once you're at the top, you'll have some overhead vines to climb, as well as some shoving machines to avoid. After that you'll need to wait for the circling ledge to come near you and then wait for it to bring you to the next side. Climbing time! Go up the vines and you'll soon notice a square of them is not there. It's kinda hard to get over to it, so if you fall down try to land on the boxes just below. You can climb your way back up if you fall near them. Make sure you hold the joystick left when trying to get to the next bit of vine. Climb up the final piece of vine here and attack the wolfen at the top. There will be sort of an evolved version of the ice monster here. The canon doesn't even phase him. Strange. Well, as long as you're on the canon use it to destroy the rocks up here. Go up to the ice monster. Hit him a few times with your boomy. WTF? He can be killed by the boomy yet not by the canon. *glares at the developers* Well, anyway, once you're through with him ride down the slide. Make sure you watch out for spikes and pseudo-windmills while you're doing it. You'll also have to avoid very large crates of amber and a bunch of tillers as well. You'll be pretty happy when you get through that. You'll wind up in a circular room with a shell elevator and a mana monster. Use both if needed. Go down the corridor. Sweet! Another rune! Whoops... looks like you'll have to beat up some wolfen to get it. I know what you're thinkin: oh, some wolfen, big deal! Well, it is sort of. Sometimes only one will fight while the others cheer him on, but once in a while they can gang up on you. Don't be suprised if you get killed once by these guys. Walk up to the rune. Feels goooood.... After all this, you SHOULD have at least 110 wolfen. If you STILL don't then you obviously missed a lot! Sheesh! Nativ City When you have 110 wolfen, go to the shop in downtown and buy the golden boomy. Even if you did blow a lot of the money you've gotten so far, it's only 100 nooties! There's also a 500 nooty silver bracelet. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2k. Go to the Air Post [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Go to the shell elevator room in Nativ City and take the one that Stuff points out. Go back up to the wolfen stronghold area and go up to the closed gate. Stuff will tell you that you need a special object in order to hit the switch on the other side. What did we just buy? Oh yeah, something that can do that. Hold square to have Kya levitate the boomy. Then, move it around the rocks and hit the switch with it. Head in and hit the floor switch at the end to open the door. Here, walk around the border around the rock and jump on the lift. You'll watch a cutscene of things getting a little hairy, but nothing too bad... hey, what was up with that constipated look on Kyas face at the end there anyway? Air Post Open up the shell elevator here and take a look around. First, take the path left. Opening up the little gate with the switch will release a monster that is somewhat tough, but easily disposed of. With that guy out of the picture, jump up and walk to the sealed off window-ish thing. Stuff will tell you that you can reach the bomb machine by levitating your boomy. Have you ever not done what he's said to do? Did you notice anything else while you were levitating your boomy over that area? Well, if you have a keen eye, you would of noticed the large number of dogs on the other side. Head back to where you first arrived and go to the right path. There is a wolfen with a machine gun up ahead so remember to sneak. When he's exorcised, go back and destroy the rocks. Quickly run back to where the guy with the machine gun was and ride the gust o' wind and jump down onto the canon. There are some stones covering up a target that you need to destroy. Once taken care of, carefully make your way up. There are some snipers and an electric monster here that will spot you if you just run non-chalantly up ahead. First, take telepathic control of your boomy and hit the electric monster with it to destroy him. Then wait for the right time to move ahead without getting caught within the line of sight of the wolfens laser. Hit the target once to bring the lift down and hit it again to bring it back up(with you on it of course!). Once up here, jump down over to the area where the guy with the rifle is. Try to avoid knocking him off when you take care of him. Once you have, quickly go over to the area where the other wolfen was and exorcise him. The dogs may or may not come running back once you get the attention of the wolfen with the rifle, but if they do and they decide to nibble on Kya, you won't have to redo any of the exorcisms. This is a really tricky area of the game, so pat yourself on the back once you're done. Go back up to where the huge door is. Swing a right and take care of the spider guy. Beat up the mana monster if you need any, and keep going ahead. There will be a switch here, so do as you have done before and use the new golden boomy to switch the switch. There will be a little trolly going back and forth here with two wolfen on it. As you can probably imagine, it's really friggin hard to get on the thing, especially since they're both gun-toatin' mommas(or Pappas, I don't care to check. Hey... I just realised... none of the Nativs or the Wolfen seem to be female... unless they're all genderless and just lay eggs or something). So, to remedy the situation, once the trolly has stopped on the right side, use your boomy to hit the bomb machine. It's likely that one or both of the wolfen will be blown off, so you may have to come back and do it again(or jump off the edge of the area and do it again). When on the trolly, get another bomb from the machine. Then place it next to the rocks on the left end of the ride. Through the rocks are two spiders that are best taken out by levitating your boomy at them. You'll likely notice a door with two floor-pads next to it. Since you can't put yourself on both of them at the same time(well, at least KYA can't!) you'll need to get the micken thats trapped in the little cage to the left of the door. But without any motivation, that roundass won't even make an effort to leave. So, cut down a piece of fruit from the tree to the right of the door and place it outside the cage. After hitting the target as fast as you can, the micken will come out. Put the micken on one pad and place yourself on the other. Inside the room will be a few rather deadly air currents. They'll cut you up quicker than a crackhead who hasn't had their fill in a few days too many. Find the little opening with the lift and ride it up. Hit the X and the target. Then, ride the canon back to the blowers. Enter the now open area. Stuff will tell you to hurry the damn hell up! [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2l: Use the Giant Cannon to Reach the Forgotten Island [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] This part is actually a little difficult at first until you get what the heck you're supposed to do. Follow the little circle of air that is pushing you until you reach a ledge. Then, jump off the board up ahead to get up to the next level. Hit the target up here and jump onto the wind. When you come to the tillers, jump onto the board thats inbetween it and then jump safely to the other side. You'll have to do this twice. Once you're at the next spot, hit the button on the floor. Ride the cannon and do what you did before and hit the target and ride the gust of wind. There is another opening here with tillers inside, but there isn't a board in the middle for you to land on. So, instead you'll have to wait for it to close and jump off of that to get around it. Across from that is another one of those crazy wind lasers that you need to avoid by jumping when it gets close to you. Then, another tiller opening. This one opens and shuts by halves, meaning that half of it will shut for a while, then the other half, then the whole thing opens. Once you get past the final laser, get on the lift and hit the target. You're home free, baby! Through the dark opening, sneak up on the wolfen with the rifle. With that guy gone, go and step on the floor lever. After a while, the wolfen inside will happen to walk across the one on his side. Once he does, the door will open! For being such a nice guy and helping, show him your appreciation by turning him back to a Nativ. In the next room, get in the cart and hit the target. Prepare for a wild ride! Err... nevermind. Once up here, Stuff will suggest you not make any noise and lay low. Well, you can do that. Or you can just sneak up on the wolfen. Either one. Climb up so you can see over the closed gate and hit the target with your levitated boomy. The target is to the right on the other side of the door. On the other side of the door is a wolfen and a dog. So watch out for him. In the next room is another wolfen with a machine gun. Try to lure him out because you'll have a hell of a time trying to take him down and getting far enough down there to actually hit him. Inside the room he was originally in is a large wolfen who is easily taken care of and a shell elevator incase you need to make a stop in Nativ City or anywhere else for that matter. In this room is also the same kinda deal we did earlier to open a door, except with a dog instead of a wolfen. Wait on the floor panel like before and wait for the door to open. To kill the ****er, break the glass on the window near the shell elevator and lure him over there. Let him jump into the darkness. Inside the dogs guarded area, head through the small opening and ride the lift. Up here will be two electric monsters. Ride the cannon to the next area. There will be a sniper here, but he's extremely easy to take out. Just sneak over to the vines, climb up to where he is, and grab his tail. Drop him over the edge. Viola! Instant dead wolfen! This next area is a little strange. You need to hit the arrow on the side of the car to make it move, but you also have to keep a bomb inside the car. The easiest strategy for me was to go over there, get some wolfen in, jump out and bring the thing back. Then, sneak up on them and attack them. On the other side where the wolfen were you'll eventually come up to a wind gust. Ride it to an open area and destroy the rocks here. Take the bridge across and open up the shell elevator. Then, go to the left and open up the large area by destroying the window. Throw a bomb in there to kill one of the dogs, and then roll a bomb to the main entrance, open the door and throw the bomb inside to kill the other. Climb up the vines and take care of the wolfen. Open the door here and go inside. Press the button to release the dog and jump around so he ends up falling off the side. Guide your boomy around to where the snipers are and activate the bomb machine. Nice. Run along the ledge and jump off the sides at the end. Go through to the bomb machine and exorcise the wolfen. Destroy the two sets of rocks. Down the path the first set of rocks was hiding you can now hit the lever! But don't do it yet. Instead, open up the door and go around to stand on the floor lever. While you're standing on it, guide your boomy to hit the lever. This will open up a new area! This jungle-like area has a few baddies. Kill the spider guys and use the mana monster if necessary. Climb up the wind-blown wall and proceed to the glassed up window. You don't need to break it, the bad guys inside will do a terrific job of doing it themselves! Oh, and by the way, there are about six wolfen in here. I myself simply went in and took them all out. I'm sure there's an easier way, but my way is more fun. :D Follow the signs to the cannon and head inside. You'll arrive in one piece amazingly. Forgotten Island [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2m: Find Brazul's Laboratory [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] To get across the lava area, wait for it to recide. Then, get ready for one of the toughest parts of the game, the lava slide. This babys tough, so you might want to just take a few pratice runs. You're either gonna want to hit all the speed bumps or none at all. Depends on which you think would be easier for you. If you hit all the speed bumps, its easier to avoid the lava. If you don't hit the speed bumps, then you have less of a chance of losing control of Kya. Once you get your way through it, you'll have to freefall down a large tunnell after some dancing lava. After that, you'll have to avoid lava again! But the last time is really easy, you just have to make it onto the land. Then, unlock the shell elevator. Look down onto the ground. The lava consumes the area every few seconds, so make it quick! Once over, a monster will attack. Kill it with your boomy and hop over to the canon. There's a wolfen on it, but it's easy to take care of him. Walk up close and he'll get off. Then, simply attack. Brilliant strategy, right? Anyway, once you get on the cannon you should see some pinkish rocks that can be destroyed. Hit them and go back. Stand on the cannon and hit the target. You'll land next to another cannon. Ride that one as well. When you step on it you'll get a fun little cutscene. A demented, fun little cutscene that is... Jump down onto the other side and hit the monster in the lava pool in the face. Use his body to get across to the other side. Jump down in the next area after the lava has receded and climb up the tower-like rock with the climbable mesh on the side. Jump down again and eventually you'll come upon a pool of lava with two monsters in it. Infront of them will be two walls that can be jumped on. Get up on the ledge and jump over to the higher one. There's a dog here, so try to get him to jump in the lava. Down from there is an amber stone and a target that brings over a lift. Get on and hit the target again. At the end, wait for the lava to recide and go up the stone ramp. There's are 2 large wolfen here that's easily taken care of. Use the bomb machine at the end to destroy the rocks down below. Jump down after the lava has run back and jump up the opposing walls. Jump on the micken twice to get enough height to get up to the amber stone. You should spot a shell elevator around here. You can jump over to it. Cross three consecutive monsters in the lava pool to reach it. After activating it, look around until you see a wall covered in vines. Use your boomy to take out the spiders on it and go over there when the lava isn't everywhere. When on the vines, go to the top when the lava rises. Once it recedes again, go down and around the electric things on the wall. At the end, jump off the wall and over onto the bridge. Run around and jump up to the amber stone. Next to it will be a cannon. Ride it to another viney area with more electric plant guys. Once again go around them on the vines while avoiding the lava and you'll eventually reach a pool of lava with a set of four monsters you need to jump across. After that, you'll have to jump across a few more. Across the area with the large blue stone is a lava pool with a bunch of purple blocks to jump across. These blocks flow with the lava, so try to keep that in mind when jumping. It's actually pretty easy. Once you get across and up the vines, wait for the lava to go down and pop a bomb out. Roll it up to the rocks and destroy them. There's another shell elevator here. Up ahead is a sign. To get to the laboratory, kill the lava monsters on the left. Use the cannon. Hop across the platforms and use the next cannon as well. This area has two large wolfen melee attacking while one tries to pick you off using huge rockets. The rockets are so big though that they sometimes damage the wolfen attacking you! This can be a pretty annoying battle, but it's not impossible. Use your boomy to destroy the stand the rocket wolfen is on while at the same time carving yourself a path. Inside this area is a wolfen with exceptional strength and HP, but below average defenses. It'll take a while, but you can kill him. Hit the target by the door a bunch of times to open it, and jump inside before it closes. Ride the lift down... down... down.... Brazul's Laboratory You probably could of guessed where we were from all the skulls and skull- shaped objects to be found around the area. Run up ahead across the only open bridge and prepare for a boss fight. BOSS ! Frank the Wolfen Because Frank has become about five times as large as Kya, he can slap her around pretty damn easily. This is actually a pretty tough battle. Try using the jump kick attack (X, Triangle, Triangle) and anything else you think might have an effect. Try to guard often as well, especially when he starts casting those huge circles of light. When he does that, he also has light around him that makes him immune to any attack. Run to the end of either of the bridges and he'll start throwing weird lasers at you. Run back at him and he'll become attackable again. The first set of lasers he throws at you can be jumped over, the second set can be ducked under, the third simply have to be dodged and then after that he'll just start throwing combinations of the three. Once it's over, you'll get another cutscene. Unlock the shell elevator. Frank seems at a loss for words at what he's seeing. :P Another cutscene, and you're back in Nativ City. Now we need to find the rest of the runes... Nativ City Our next objective is to go to Wolfen city, but we need to find all the runes first. And if you've been following this guide to a T, you'll know we still need three. First, lets get the one found in The Roots. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2n: The Roots Rune [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] The Roots Go down the slide we went on before. Look at the map and zoom in. See that area where the track splits in two? Well, we need to go in the OTHER direction this time! You should also see where the rune is on your map. You'll come out near a shell elevator. The rune is in plain site! It's also very easy to get! Use your telescope to look at the rune. Now, look above the rune. Use those same symbols in order on the lock on the door to get in. ... you HAVE bought the telescope, right? On the other side, kick all three micken into their own net. Then, climb the viney outcropping and ride a net over to the other side. Once there, free each of the micken(and yourself) and kick the micken onto the scale. Then stand on it yourself to open the door. Viola, instant rune! Well, there are actually two wolfen here with rifles, but they're easy to take out. Ride the cannon back to the other side and use the elevator. Nativ City Take the shell elevator to the Air Post. Press the first button and go. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2o: Air Post Rune [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Air Post Here, go straight up until you reach the lift with the target. You should see a cannon next to it. Use it and you'll land on a path to the "dark island". Continue along this path and you'll enter a dark room with a gust of wind. This gust of wind is actually one of those wind tunnels you have to navigate through. There are a lot of spiked gates raising and descending, so be really cautious. It's a rather long tunnel, but since there really isn't anything here that will instantly kill you, it isn't that bad of a trip. After heading through a short corridor, you'll come to an open area with a shell elevator and the rune, being barricaded by a deadly energy field. Stuff will tell you the obvious("Find a way to deactivate it!"). Take the only open path, the road to the control room. There is a cannon up ahead with a button that needs to be pushed. It can be kind of difficult to get your boomy around the building and into the little tiny hole in the side to hit it, but if you look around and scope out the best way to get it in it shouldn't take very long at all. You'll be launched far away. Jump down to the area with the two pressure pads and the three tree monsters. There's actually a micken you can use to open the door, but I actually managed to open it on my own by just running across both really quick. If you can't get it that way go get the micken. Inside this room is a window just begging to be smashed. Do so, and then hit the bomb machine to take out a corner of your cell. Bust out and take down the two wardens. Break the rocks up the ramp with the bombs and climb up. There is a dog on the third level. The best trick to get rid of him is to climb up, let him notice you, and quickly jump down as he's about to dive at you. That usually gets him. Up a few more levels is a wolfen with a missile launcher. He's easy to take care of. Just a few kicks and/or punches. There's a laser on the next level, but dodging those has never been hard. On the top level are a bunch of bastards with machine guns... Grrr... So instead, once you're at the top of the ladder, shimmy over to the vines and climb the ceiling. Go all the way over and climb the ladder on the other side. At the top will be a cannon... Hmmm... Just what should we do with this... maybe take out those wolfen? Yeah, good idea. When down there, hit the arrow that Stuff points at. Then, jump down onto the lower level via the flimsy board at the other end. There will be a dog here, so lead him into one of the traps. Use the cannon to return to the shell elevator. At first, it will seem like dropping through that area is impossible, but its actually a really short fall. Run down to the end with the cannon(and the spiders) and use the cannon to destroy the rocks over on the floating area. Use the gust of wind to get over. Go across and take cover under one of the rocks from the machine gun that fires at you. It's actually really easy to make your way across to the lift. The rune will be in sight, but don't forget the wolfen that was firing at you! After you take care of him, the rune will be ripe for the taking. There! Now we only have one rune left to get before we can continue on with the storyline! Head back to Nativ City and take the only area left with a rune, the Forgotten Island. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2p: Forgotten Island Rune [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Forgotten Island Use the shell elevator to get as close to the divided path(remember from before) as you can get. It's the area in the lava where you have to choose which path of dead lava monsters to go across. Go right this time and jump onto the tall stone jetting out of the lava. Step on the button and guide your boomy all the way through the tunnel and hit the target at the end. This will open up the closed door. Go inside and climb up the vines. Go down the path that is blocked by the crates. Head down and hit the kegs of gunpowder to get inside the fence. Jump on the King Jamgut and speed past the area ahead. Of course, wait for the lava to recede. At the end where the wolfen on the cannon is, get off and jump over the lava without him. Beat up the wolfen and use the cannon to destroy the rocks. Then cross the next area on him. Jump up onto one of the crates and get off at the end. Get back on the jamgut and go over the next area. You have to do this over and over again until you get up to the rune(check your map!) Once you're up to it, all you have to do is walk up to it and the rune is yours! Yes! Finally, you have 350 mana! Head back to Nativ City. Nativ City Now, just follow the white crosshairs on the map to see which elevator you need to take. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2q: Get to Wolfen City [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] The Quarry Obviously, you'll need to fill your mana all the way to 350 in order to open the door. So, use the mana monster right next to it. Unlock the door, and refill some of your mana before leaving. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2r: Stop Brazul [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Wolfen City As always, one of the first things you're gonna want to do is open the shell elevator. Go down the path and sneak up on the machinegun-toting wolfen on the dock. The two large wolfen farther ahead arent as easy to sneak up on, but they're not much of a challenge to take on anyway. Follow the arrow over to Brazul's fortress. There will be a wolfen up ahead. Keep going and you'll come to a cutscene. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2s: Escape from Wolfen city [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Use square to lure the wolfen over to get you out of your cage. Go through the only open area and jump up onto the boxes and then onto the ledge. Grab the bottom of one of the boxes that goes overhead and ride it into the next area. Jump down and go across the bridge and crouch down by one of the boxes so the wolfen don't see you. Then, go and press the bomb machine's button to take care of them. To open the door, release a bomb and hit the switch when the bomb explodes. In this big new room, go onto the lift and press the switch. You'll need to sneak past many wolfen here, so use the boxes to your advantage. Eventually you'll come to a lift with some vines on the bottom. Climb onto the bottom of it and ride it over to the other side. There will be a black wolfen over here. Run past him and over to the diving board-esque thing. Jump down onto the bullseye plant and reclaim your gear! Hit the rope holding up the rock then hit the lever to get out. Then head back up and get next to where that black wolfen you ran away from was. There is a floorpad/lever combo here that you need to use to open a door. Inside, hit the lever to summon a trolly. Get in and head down. Go through the area and take care of the wolfen. HIt the floor lever and go through. There is a door here that looks like you need to hit the floor panel and lever for, but I just jumped over it.. Ride the wind back up to the area where you were captured. Jump down to where the broken cage is and release the bridge by hitting the stone that is holding it up. There's a mana monster here, so use him if you need to. Head over to this new area. There are a ton of snipers here, so watch out. Through the door area, there will be two walls that you can jump off of. Up here there is an amber stone and those pesky snipers. For a real challenge, hit that bell a few times. A whole slew of wolfen will come rushing in. The charged up boomy attack works well here. Use the air canon to take out the blocks that are... well, blocking the next area. Through here, you'll need to guide your boomy through a tunnel to get to the next area. This is actually pretty easy. Once through, head over to the area with the wolfen on the spinning dial and the target. Hit this target a ton of times, and eventually the wolfen will go flying off! XD It's pretty hilarious loooking. Next you'll have to climb a number of vines and then make yourself across a few different ledges that tilt depending on which side you stand on. After you get across those, jump over to the side with the wall covered in a viney-mesh. There is a black wolfen lurking in the shadows over here, so watch out. Over the vines, head through the door and jump onto a canon. Use it to take care of the wolfen and if you can find that pesky dog, shoot him too. After exorcising, head back up to where you first got on a canon and head over to the two walls. Jump across each one until you get to the top. Up here, you need to move all three micken onto all three buttons. Then, get into the boxish thing and guide your boomy over to the fruit hanging above the micken. Knocking all three down will move you over to the next side you need to be on. Kill the electric guy here and enter the small alcove-ish area. Go left and guide your boomy through the two areas. [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] 2t. Stop Brazul [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -] Open up the shell elevator here. Head back to town to get a cutscene. While you're here, you might as well try to get as much stuff as possible before the end. Then, get on the Jamgut and take out the four wolfen in the immeditae vicinity. They're all on canons. Then, get over and hit the bomb dispenser. Then, open the area. Put the bomb inside and step on the pressure pad next to the door. Hit the target until the door opens and place the bomb next to the rocks. Through here, jump over past the area where you were captured and open up the shell elevator. If you don't have any electric bombs, go back to Nativ City and get some. While the thing is spinning, get on and hop over to the other side. Try to take out as many of the spiders as you can before hand, though. Then, on the other one, just jump from the one ledge to the other. Walk around to the lift. Guess where you are? Activate the final shell elevator. Then, fill up on mana. Through this next area, you'll fight at least a dozen wolfen at once. Try using your charged-up boomy on them. Use the guys with the missiles to your advantage. This entire battle will be pure chaos until there are only one or two guys left. Luckily there's a mana monster through that gate(hit the target a bunch of times). After the mass exorcism, ride the cannon over to the next area. Hmm... didn't quite expect that... You'll fall through a trap door once you walk up to the door of the fortress. Ride the sludge all the way to the bottom. Two walls will slowly close together. Once they get close enough, jump off of each one to get to the top. Then, jump up into the small opening in the wall. Did you walk in on them at the wrong time? Looks like it... BOSS! Aton If you get hit by one of his missiles, it's bye bye humanoid form! Avoid the missiles at all costs. Try to get up close and personal so you can fight him normally. The charged up boomy works pretty well. Overall, he's not that difficult if you can avoid the missiles. A cutscene will play. After that, watch out for the falling crystals and hop along them until you reach the top area. Walk around and climb up the ... pink mesh. Pink?! o_O You'll then have to ride up the spire-like are on your magic board. After that, you'll climb a little more, then ride a little more. Wash, rinse, repeat. Once at the top, you finally get to fight Brazul. Plus, you get a lot more mana. BOSS! Brazul Remember when we fought him last time? Well, he has all those moves, plus a few more. He can now shoot a gun-like fireball at you. Plus, he can shoot multiplue arcs of electricity. He easily has the most health of any enemy in the game, so you're gonna have to beat him down a LOT. After his health goes down a bit, he'll start...smoking? I'm pretty sure that's whats going on.... Ater you defeat him, Kya will give a farewell kick to the face to her dear old dad. How nice. Nativ City Kya will come back to a cheering crowd. When you want to end the game, go over to the altar. You've completed Kya: Dark Lineage! Yay for you! ============================================================================== Move List ============================================================================== Okay everyone, let's be honest here.

But you gotta wonder, if he DID have a personality, what would it be like? ============================================================================== Mini Games/Side Quests ============================================================================== =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= 5a. Minigames =- - - - - - - - - - - - - -= [This list of mini games is in no particular order. :)] ======================== Klaustrophobia ======================== Location: Downtown In this game, you have to advance down a wind track for as long as you can all while avoiding hitting any obstacles or hitting the lava. Steer with the joystick and press x to descend. Possible Bets: 10, 15 and 20 nooties. ======================== Dinner's Ready! ======================== Location: Uptown Someone decided to make dinner in the micken sty for some reason, and you gotta keep them from eating it! Kick the micken away from the fruit. Try to do this as fast as possible, because these guys can be quicker than you'd think. Possible Bets: 15, 20 and 30 nooties. ======================== Right Choice ======================== Location: Uptown In "Right Choice", Kya is placed in front of two rows of moving targets. There are wolfen and nativ targets. You need to try and hit as many wolfen targets as you can while avoiding the nativs. Hit three nativs and you're out! After a while, the targets begin to move, so watch out for that! Possible Bets: 10, 20 and 30 nooties. ======================== Speed Racing ======================== Location: Err.. in between? (down a slide in Uptown) In Speed Racing, you gotta try and race really fast. I know, it's a mind blowing twist and you would of never expected that from the title of the game. You have to try and beat the best time. Jump on every bump you can and occasionally you should be able to take a shortcut by cutting corners in certain places. Possible Bets: 5, 10 and 15 nooties. ======================== Boomyvision ======================== Location: Uptown (can be reached by climbing vines in Downtown) Here, you have to recreat a sequence of fireworks by hitting the right colors. It's just like Simon says, but different because you don't really have to remember anything since the color sequence is right in front of you the whole time. This game requires a good eye and a quick trigger finger rather than a good memory. Possible Bets: 10, 15 and 20 nooties. ======================== Freefall 1 ======================== Location: Downtown(technically) In Freefall, you fall through a bunch of holes in the ground and some areas with planks made to try and slow you down. You can press X to make yourself descend faster. Other than that it's pretty self-explanatory. Possible Bets: 10, 15 and 20 nooties. ======================== Speed Racing 2 ======================== Location: Uptown Speed Racing 2 is a lot like Speed Racing 1 (suprise suprise) except it's all above ground(it goes all the way around Nativ City) and utilizes the speed-ups. Obviously, you'll need the Speed Board to play this mini-game. Possible Bets: 10, 20 and 30 nooties. [ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] 5b: The Zoo [ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ] Before you get started on capturing anything for the zoo, you'll need to buy some trap bombs. They can be purchased at a shop in Uptown near the Zoo. 50 nooties gets you a five-pack. Monster #1 Location: Near KlaustroFobia game Reward: 30 nooties Monster #2 Location: Flying Forest Reward: 50 nooties Monster #3 Location: Hunter's Domain Reward: 70 nooties Monster #4 Location: The Roots Reward: 100 nooties Monster #5 Location: Quarry Reward: 150 nooties Monster #6 Location: Hunter's Domain Reward: 200 nooties Monster #7 Location: Air Post Reward: 250 nooties Monster #8 Location: Forgotten Island Reward: 250 nooties Monster #9 Location: Wolfen City Reward: 250 nooties ============================================================================== Item List ============================================================================== 1. Regular Boomy Kya's first boomy(unless you count the one she had in the intro movie). It costs 10 nooties and is a very good buy, considering you can't get very far without one in this game. It's kinda slow, doesn't have much range and doesn't have anything special going for it, but hey, you get what you pay for. 2. White Bracelet This is Kya's first bracelet. She'll get some pretty basic moves from it, but hey, things would be a lot harder without it at the beginning. Personally, I used these moves the most of any bracelet simply because they were the easiest to remember and were usually the easiest to execute. 3. Yellow Bracelet This bracelet gives Kya the ability to guard and perform three other, more complex attacks than the ones in the white bracelet. 4. Green Bracelet The bracelet of throws. This bracelet gives Kya the ability to throw and grab her opponents and attack them in various new ways. 5. Blue Bracelet The blue bracelet lets Kya dodge an enemy's attack as well as perform some new devastating attacks. 6. Brown Bracelet The brown bracelet doesn't give you as many abilities as the previous few, but you still get the power up ability and the all-powerful boomy storm! 7. Black Bracelet The last bracelet Kya will get. It's the most expensive yet gives her the least amount of abilities or attacks of any bracelet. All you get for your money is the ability to do a counter-attack. 8. Silver Bracelet The silver bracelet is very well worth the high price. It increases Kya's strength by 10%, effectively enhancing every single attack you have and will ever get! 9. Magic Board The very basic board you buy near the beginning of the game. With it you can go at very high speeds and jump over obstacles with x. 10. Speed Board The speed board reacts to Acceleratos, plants that grow on tracks that allow you to go faster and higher. 11. Climbing Gloves With these, you can climb on all kinds of surfaces. Well, mostly vines. 12. Magic Bouncers The magic bouncers give you the ability to push off of walls to reach high up areas. 13. Telescope With the telescope you can look around anywhere you want to. You can also zoom in and out, allowing you to see what you normally wouldn't be able to. 14. Jamgut Birdcall - While I'm pretty sure the Jamgut isn't a bird, this call gives you the ability to ride a Jamgut. No, you can't call them. So... the Jamgut isn't a bird, and this "birdcall" really doesn't call anything. Amazing. 15. Receptacle The receptacle holds the runes that you find. When complete, it will form the medallion that will open the passageway between the two worlds. 16. Silver Boomy A much better weapon and tool than the basic boomy, the silver boomy can also be aimed precisely at any target by using R1 and square. 17. Trap Bombs These are traps that you can use to trap animals that the zoomaster wants you to collect. You can get some pretty good $ from collecting the animals, so it's a good idea to buy a few of these. Come in packs of 5. 18. Strength Fruit These pieces of fruit enhance your strength for a limited amount of time. Can be bought for 50 nooties. 19. Invincibility Fruit Does just what the title says. They make you invincible for a limited amount of time. Can be bought for 50 nooties. 20. Life Fruit Not near an amber stone? Out of mana? Then eat one of these! Can be bought for 50 nooties. 21. Electric Bomb For when punching and kicking just don't cut it. Can be bought for fifty nooties. ============================================================================== Some Other Stuff ============================================================================== =- - - - - - - - -= 7a.
