Walk through the open doorway, and fight your way down the tunnel. A scorpion beetle comes out to block your way. Use your best combination of fire and electricity to kll him. A dreadwing flies in from overhead. Fire bombs are your best bet, followed by an assault of fire breath and melee combos. Again, the secret for all these BIG enemies, is keeping them occupied or paralyzed. After you're done, go to the right and up the small tunnel past the poison steam vents.

In the next cave area, lots of trouble. Your biggest problem is the lava cannon tower on the right. It shoots firebombs at you on a regular cycle. Glide down to the floor and take out the lava cannon first. Take down the trolls wandering around and collect the spirit crystals. The warriors above you are tossing ALOT of dynamite sticks, so don't stick around long. Jump back up to the pedestal rocks. Jump and glide across the rocks to the far right. Take down the warrior.

In the next tunnel (almost like a pipe), firebug trouble. There's lot of them. Whack or flame the orange beehive nests first then whack and ice freeze the bugs. I found the freeze didn't kill them all that well, but it kept them still long enough to whack'em like a flyswatter. Walk down through the end of the tunnel, into the next cave. Look down... SLOWLY walk down the tree trunk to the very end. Whatever you do, DON'T FALL OFF! It will be trouble.

Not 1 or 2... 3 scorpion beetles are waiting. And you can't advance unless you beat them. So this is what I did (may seem like suicide). I got the attention of each beetle by walking by them. I had all 3 beetles chasing and trapping me in a circle. I quickly changed over to electricity and then Electric Fury [R2]. LIGHTNING KABOOM! Instant major injury (almost death). Certainly enough damage to finish them off one by one with only a little bit of melee effort.

A rock at the back explodes, revealing a cracked wall. Head-butt the wall and you go into another cave tunnel. In the next room, something creepy. A huge living beehive or something like it. I was afraid it was holding a huge horde of firebugs? There were lots of them as it was. Whack all the beehives along the ground and swat all the firebugs. I left the thing in the middle alone. It wasn't doing anything or causing problems, so let it be. Go out the door at the other end.

At the end of this tunnel, a blocked wall and 3 TNT barrels? So... 2 Magmaworms come out of the lava pools. Shock em to death or whack em til they vaporize. Now go flame the barrels. You'll see the sparks of a lit fuse. Run back into the last room and duck behind the wall. KABOOM! Doors open. Walk out to the next large area. [movie sequence begins]. This is tall cave with a continuous ramp along the outside wall. Real trouble begins about half way up.

Work your way up the ramp til you come to the open cave area with all the fast moving mine trains. I counted at least 4 of them. The trolls here have a lot of dynamite so take care of them quickly. There are also several trapped manweersmalls chained to crystals. Free all the manweersmalls you come across. Break the nearby spirit crystals to power-up between fights with the trolls. WATCH OUT FOR THE SPEEDING TRAINS. They will surprize you.
|
 |
Around the back side, there are 2 more manweersmalls to rescue and more trains. We are in a tight narrow space here so be careful where you stand. Trains will go whizzing by, very close to you. Make it easy on yourself. Each troll is standing near 2-3 barrels of dynamite (very dumb). Toss 1 firebomb [triangle] and they blow up into thin air with the dynamite. Why use up your precious spirit power when you don't have to? Walk down to the very end.
|
 |
At the end of the track, look right. There's another small narrow tunnel and 2 more manweersmalls. From a safe distance (away from his dynamite tossing range), toss another firebomb at the barrels of TNT nearby. The place explodes like an inferno. The manweersmalls are freed at the same time. Pick up the gems from the spirit crystals and everything else that blew up, and make your way back to the entrance ramp. LOOK BOTH WAYS FOR TRAINS!
|
 |
Work your way up the ramp to the very end. A warrior troll is guarding the door. Use your electricity bombs [triangle] and throw him into a shock ball above the ground (I fired 2 for safe measure). Quickly jump up and melee combo him. Spark him again and whack away til he goes away. GO up to the fire door. It opens automatically. Walk inside. [movie sequence begins]
