Useful Information

Regarding Enemies

Abe's best form of defence is his Chant ability, It works on Paramytes, Scrabs and of course, Sligs.

Sligs

The easiest way to dispose of a Slig is to use the environment. Sligs can be creatively destroyed using many different hazard; Pit falls, Meat Grinders, Bombs, Barrels etc
You can also use Abe's chant ability to possess Sligs, however there are some limitations to this:

• The Slig must not occupy the same platform as Abe.
  
• The Slig must not see Abe.
  
• The Slig must not run between game screens or the chant will wear off.

Scrabs and Paramytes can be dazed by using chant, but Abe can't possess
them.


Paramytes

To do away with pesky Paramytes, just use the environment. If you feel adventurous, you can try distracting them with meat, however, they chow down fast so be quick!
If there are two or more Paramytes and Abe is seen, they will attack.
Paramytes also attack when cornered.





Scrabs

Scrab destroying is quite simple, just bring two Scrabs together and they will fight to the death.










Slogs

To kill a Slog, possess a Slig and use the gun to shoot it. Environmental hazards can also be used.


Bats

Bats will kill Abe instantly, avoid at all costs.

Bees

Elum hates Bees.





Regarding Mudokons



Rescuing

• Only one Mudoken can follow you at a time.
  
• Hold 1 to say hello and the Mudokon should respond.
  
• Press 2 to tell them to follow you
  
• Lead Mudokon to a bird portal
  
• Hold 0 to chant and open the portal so the Mudokon can escape
  
• When chanting a portal all Mudokons in the room will try to escape, therefore, eliminate and disable all potential hazards before chanting
  
• If Abe or an enemy ran past the bird portal and scared the birds away, just exit the screen and return and the portal should be back.
  
• Abe can talk to Mudokons even if they are not on the same platform as him

Regarding Elum[/b]

[/b]
• To mount Elum stand in front of him and press Up
  
• To dismount press Down
  
• Elum can perform longer jumps than Abe
  
• Elum understands Follow Me and Wait
  
• Whilst mounted, Hold Shift to run
  
• Whilst mounted Abe cannot chant
  
• To use lifts and moving platforms, first dismount, walk to platform, use the Follow Me and Wait commands to position Elum, then use Ctrl or U/D to operate
  
• Elum loves Honey and will eat it at any opportunity, to distract Elum and get him back on track Abe needs to find some Bees. Get the bees close enough to Elum and they will attack
  
• Elum's arms are very short, he therefore cannot hang from ledges
  
• Elum cannot jump vertically, Abe must first dismount to reach a higher platform, or use a lift.

Walkthrough Key

This game is quite long, so to speed things up I will use a key.

ENEMIES: Sligs
EMPLOYEES: 28

* For the first few screens follow the tutorial instructions #

Go through the third door, and quickly exit to the right before Slig shoots you #
* Jump over mines #
* Chant until you possess the Slig. Go left and use the electricity lever. Go right #
DO NOT PUSH THE NEXT LEVER. Exit right #
*exit right#
Use possessed Slig to kill sleeping Slig, then kill possessed Slig #
Take Mudokons to the lift and go down #
Chant portal and enter the door #

Lead the two mudokons to the portal at the right and free them. Now go up and
right.#
*You are in a room with a lever next to you, and a Slig below you . You cannot
possess it because of the orb, so use the lever to open the floor and let the Slig
fall. Go right.#
Deactivate the bomb carefully. Go up.#
Walk a little to wake up both Sligs and quickly pull the lever so the Slig to the
right falls. If you do this incorrectly, they will kill the mudokon. Now possess
the remaining Slig and explode him. Now pull the lever to the right and take
mudokon to the left and free him. #
Go right past the lever you just pressed.#
Stay where you appeared and possess the Slig at the background. Explode him. Now
roll to the right.#
Climb to the platform and use the lever so the meat saw stops.#
Go back to the place where you killed the last Slig and take the mudokon to the
right. Make him stop. Now climb to the platform with the lever and go right.#
Possess Slig and go to the right. Note that THERE ARE MUDOKONS HIDDEN IN THE
SHADOWS, so do not shoot where you cannot see, except in the place with the Slig.
Kill him and go right.#
Be careful because there are two meat saws. One moves faster than the other. The
lever in that room alternates the speed of the saws, so use this to your
advantage.#
DO NOT USE THE LEVER IN THE NEXT ROOM, it is a trap, too.#
Go right, step next to the Slig, say: " Look out! ", and quickly kill Slig. Use the
lever if you want. It opens the metalic door, but you cannot go there yet. Explode
Slig.#
Now go and rescue all the mudokons in that floor, including the ones in the
shadows. When the meter says that you have rescued 14 mudokons ( if you have
rescued them all ), go to a room with a door at the middle and a threatening sign.
Enter the door.#
*Now run to the left until you reach a BOOM machine. Get a grenade.
Now run to the right# and jump while running to grab to Slig's platform. Climb it
when he falls to the ground. Now throw the grenade ( wait for the fifth bip, then
throw it ) to the security orb. Possess the Slig and go to the left.#
Ride the platform until you reach the top.#
Now run to the right and you will fall on a platform where a Slig was sleeping.
Kill him and explode your Slig.#
Now go left, press the lever so the platform returns and ride it to the top again.#
Throw yourself to the place where you killed the last Slig and duck.
Go right into a bonus section.# Time the jumps carefully. ( No need to run). Duck at
the end and go right.#
Free the three mudokons and go back.#
Now look carefully at the platform to the right. It has some debris falling from
it. This indicates that you can hang from this platform and go down. Fall and now
you must return to the * spots.

*: Go to the first stage of the game and again stand behind the barrel and go
down.#
Jump to the left and pull lever.
Go down where the lone mudokon is. The Slig will wake up. Quickly hang to his
platform and climb when he falls. Press the lever and kill him. Free mudokon.
#Go up and take the two mudokons down. #Try not to kill them. Free them too.
Now go up and stand at the right of the middle saw. Hoist and get out#

*: Get a grenade now go to the place where you must jump and throw
while ducking, aiming to the mines at the right side of the screen.
When you destroyed them all, go down and again # stand behind the barrel and fall.
Talk to a mudokon and immediately fall, then climb again.# This way when you climb
again, he will be waiting for you safely. Take him down and stop him.
Repeat the procedure and then free them when they are all together.
The lever here is to change the saw's speed. DO NOT PULL IT. It is not neccessary.

*: Go to the exact point where the Slig was sleeping. See the barrel at the
foreground? Stand behind it and press Down twice.
You will fall into a secret room. Here you must get a grenade, blow the orb,
possess the Sligs and then go down using the surviving Slig.
#Turn to the left and kill the Slig. Explode yours.
Now simply go down#, blow the second orb and free the mudokons

*: Pull the ring and fall through the hole.#

grenade while ducking. BOOM! Get another grenade and go down# and right#, at the
opposite side of the mudokon. Duck, throw the grenade, blow the land mine and free
mudokon.

Go down staying in shadows so the Slig cannot see you.
Get a grenade, and blow orb. Now possess the Slig, and press the lever. Explode
him. Now get another grenade, go up to the highest platform, blow that orb and
possess Slig. Explode him.

up# and throw a grenade while ducking.

I've finished the game so many times I lost count. But I like too look at these guides just to see what people write and stuff I think I should write a guide myself with my own perspective.

Please Update

[bastek66]

Thanks

[SG]

I was thinking, wait that's it??! Surely it'd be longer and with some nice detailed pictures to go with it to illustrate difficult parkour moves and such and then read '*** Guide Under Construction ***" and then go, oh....it's not finished yet......well then false advertisement!! hahaha

Yeah, Thanks to you bro. Im playing again this old game, and I just realize how dificult was to encounter all the slave-bros... A lot of hidden places to catch. A walktrought is really important for this situation =)

[DKKitty / Major Toni]

Thank you for the critique @Lean Montana, I will endeavour to include some screenshots in the next update.

[Lean Montaña]
