Humans are pink and squishy. Humans will fail unless you guide their every movement. So, what we have here is an extremely cut-down version of the original, so much so, it's actually missing fifty-two levels. However, it's still an extremely fun game, done in the best possible humour. ===== Walkthrough ================================================= 02.00 ==== At any point during a level (not 1, 7, or 21), press Down + Select to open the Shaman menu. On this screen, you can purchase items for the low, low price of a Human sacrifice. Talk about costing an arm and a leg. If purchasing an item would lower the available tribe below the minimum required to complete a level, you won't be able to purchase anything. Speaking of available tribe; the higher the difficulty, the fewer men you have to work with. On Easy (1), you'll have 12, but on Medium (2) and Hard (3), you will have 10 and 8 respectively. Any level that ends with you rescuing a Human (not the Shaman) will add an extra man to your tribe. (5, 6, 19, 22, and 26) ----- Prehistoric Age --------------------------------------------- 02.01 ---- ----- Level 1 - Let's Get the Spear ------------------------------- 02.02 ---- Needed: 4 Password: XXXX Time: 1: 0711 2: 0461 3: 0211 Shop: Unavailable Take your first Human and send him left. Stack him against the ledge (the second option) and switch to someone else. This little fella can now use his friend as a squishy, pink ladder, allowing him to get past the ledge. Keep on heading up and right until the chance to stack attacks, then do just that. So, what you have now, is two man-ladders. As you've noticed, the last Human is stacked against a slightly higher barrier. This means you need to take your next Human of choice and stack him on his shoulders. Your super-awesome-final Human can now scale the dizzy heights of a double man-ladder and retrieve the Spear (pick it up using the first option). ----- Level 2 - Let's Get the Torch ------------------------------- 02.03 ---- Needed: 5 Password: CVBM Time: 1: 0826 2: 0576 3: 0326 Shop: Spear Send your first hapless pawn right and stack them against the ledge. Like before, your next victim can use his friend as a ladder - go on, do it. Grab the Spear and vault the gap (the third option), then throw it back over for the others (the fourth option). Now, send them up the ladder and have them stack against the ledge to the left. To your right, mi amigos, is a spare Spear. Do with it as you will. Bring the rest of your crack team across the gap in the same manner (the last one across doesn't need to throw the Spear back over, but if you're worried about dropping dead, it might not be such a bad idea). Once everyone is up the ladder, send your next pink squish-bag left. Simply follow the path and stack when required. Boringly enough, the next Human finds himself having to do the exact same thing. Your final pick has a little more to do. Once he's past the rest of his team, drop down and continue along to the end of the platform. Along the bottom- right of the screen, you should just about make out the top of another platform (feel free to scroll the screen to have a better look). You need to vault over to it, but to do so without getting all flat, the power bar needs to be almost full. At the top of the ladder and to the right is your prize - the Torch. ----- Level 3 - Nobody Steals Our Idol ---------------------------- 02.04 ---- Needed: 4 Password: QWSD Time: 1: 0956 2: 0706 3: 0456 Shop: Spear, Torch Have someone grab the Spear and scale the ladder. If you can't already tell, there's some vaulting to be done. Once you've reached the far side, make sure to drop the Spear over the edge so the others can retrieve it. You need to repeat this until they're all across. Send someone up the ladder here and grab the Spear. Vault the gap, then throw it back over, like only you know how. Is everyone over? Of course they are. Choose a random Human to send up the ladder to the right. His cruel fate is to be stacked against that ledge. His more popular friend gets to scale the same ladder as well as grabbing the Torch along the way. Not far to the left is a bush - burn it down (third option), then stack next to the ledge just behind it. All your favourite Human has to do is make his way to the top of the level and vault one final gap to reach the Idol. ----- Level 4 - Let's Get the Rope -------------------------------- 02.05 ---- Needed: 4 Password: PLKP Time: 1: 1000 2: 0750 3: 0500 Shop: Spear, Torch Player One: Choose your player! Pink Squish-bag selected. Climb the ladder to the left and follow the path all the way round. At the top of the next ladder, drop into the pit and stack against the ledge on the other side. Your next Human needs to be stacked against the ledge to the right of the start point. With the man-ladder in place, your next selection should drop into the pit and stack against the far ledge. You can now head all the way to the right and retrieve a Spear (there are two). Take the Spear back to the left and drop it near the first Human (just vault over that pit, by the way, saves time). This Human's new mission is to stand here. Switch to the Human you dropped the Spear next to and take said Spear left and up the ladder. At the top, vault the gap to reach the Torch. You can't carry both back, despite having two arms, so drop the Torch over the edge and use the Spear to get back down. Meanwhile, in the pit below, the Human needs to stack against the other side to allow the guy with the Torch to get out. So, with the Torch in hand, trundle back down to the bottom and stack next to the ledge you were at before. The guy who was just killing time, was killing time just for this moment. Take the Torch and head right. When you get to the pit, throw it across and use the Spear to follow it. At the top of the ladder, there's another gap to send the Torch and yourself sailing across, then another after that. Burn the bush down, then climb the ladder and do the same with the next one. Have a slow walk back for the Spear now, then head back up and vault the final gap to reach the Rope. ----- Level 5 - Let's Get Our Friend ------------------------------ 02.06 ---- Needed: 4 Password: MNBV Time: 1: 1088 2: 0838 3: 0588 Shop: Spear, Torch Send your first victim up the ladder to the right, then drop him into the pit and stack him against the far ledge. As the next Human, climb that very same ladder, but make sure to stop for the Spear along the way. Head beyond the first Human and vault the gaps. On the platform above you are two Torches. Take one of them and throw it over to the left, then take the other and throw it over to the right. You can't head back exactly the same way as you came, due to the ledge blocking your path, but you *can* vault off this platform and over to the right (you'll land safely, despite the size of the drop). Back in the pit, you'll have to re-stack your man-ladder over at the other side to allow the Torch-bearer to escape. Take the Torch down the ladder and all the way to the left, then climb the ladder and stack next to the ledge to the right. Bring up your next Human and throw the Torch across the gap. The next member of the team needs to retrieve the Spear and join up with his comrades. Once you're all together again, vault the gap and burn the bush down, then throw the Spear back over for your friend. Keep following the path, vaulting the gaps and burning down any bushes that affront your sensibilities until you reach a pit. One of you needs to drop into it and stack against the far ledge. At the other side of the pit, vault the gap. At the top of the ladder is a dinosaur - simply keep your distance and throw the Spear at it. While I'm here, I may as well tell you something fun. Dinosaurs and other such creatures will crush any Human standing below them as they fall off the screen. Behind the bush to the left is the friend you seek. ----- Level 6 - Jump Over Dinosaur -------------------------------- 02.07 ---- Needed: 1 Password: VBCD Time: 1: 0536 2: 0286 3: 0036 Shop: Wheel, Torch Take the Torch and burn the bush down, then climb down the ladder. At the bottom, you'll find a Wheel. The idea is to use the Wheel to jump the chasm situated at the bottom of the really big slope. Build up speed by holding a direction, then use B to jump once you've reached the very edge of the slope (once you see the Wheel go over the little bump). Should you happen to drop dead (literally), there's a spare Wheel near the bottom of the slope. Once you reach the other side, just roll over to your friend to exit the level. ----- Level 7 - Rescue the Shaman --------------------------------- 02.08 ---- Needed: 4 Password: ZXVZ Time: 1: 1470 2: 1220 3: 0970 Shop: Unavailable First up, climb the ladder to the right and stack next to the cliff. You need three for this bit, so bring the next two up. As the last remaining Human, climb the massive stack of pinkness and grab the Rope. Lower the Rope (the second option) and bring your next Human up here, drop them into the hole, and stack them against the far ledge. Now, as someone else, grab the Spear from beyond the pit, then climb back down the Rope. Vault the pit to the left of the start point, then throw the Spear back over for someone else. Make use of the Rope to remove the man-ladder from the pit, then lower it back down the cliff for him. The tale of this Human and his Rope is at an end - drop it down to the others. Send the Rope across the gap to the left of the start point, then use the Spear to join up with your friends. With all three of you across, you'll have to partake in one more such jump. Head up the ladder with whoever you feel like and drop into the pit before stacking against the far ledge. As the next Human (Spear in hand), head past your last Human and vault the gaps at the top of ladder. Once you don't need the guy in the pit any more, be sure to retrieve him with the Rope. Oh, and don't forget to have someone bring that Torch. Once everyone is across, climb the ladder. At the top, ignore the dinosaur, as it can't actually bother you where it is. Climb the ladder, Torch in hand, and throw it across the gap. Return for the Spear and vault that very gap, being sure to throw the Spear back over for your friends. Yeah, and don't forget the Rope. Once everyone is at the other side, lower the Rope over the edge to the right. Before you climb down it, take the Torch and give it a hard throw to the right. For now, ignore the extra Spear, and climb down the Rope. After the first Human is across the gap, drop the Rope down to the one that didn't make the jump. Now, grab the Spear and head back across the platforms. Kill of the dinosaur and drop into the pit and head right. Retrieve him from the pit with the Rope, then get them across the gap. Kill the dinosaur, then take the Rope and lower it over the ledge to the right. Send both Humans down the Rope, then drop it down to them. From here, lower it over the edge to the right so that the last remaining Human can climb down to reach the Shaman. ----- Level 8 - Visit a Girly ------------------------------------- 02.09 ---- Needed: 2 Password: KJHR Time: 1: 0676 2: 0426 3: 0176 Shop: Spear, Torch, Wheel Open the Shaman menu and purchase a Wheel. This bit is quite hard, as you need to make two consecutive jumps. If you should fall, you're obviously going to die, losing the Wheel in the process. After the second jump, climb down the ladder and purchase another Wheel. The next two jumps could be done with a Spear, but the second jump has an annoying little ledge to stop you from living to regret an attempt. Climb down the ladders and grab the Torch, then burn the bush down. Return for a Spear and throw it over the gap. Return for the second Spear and vault over. Drop both Spears down to the other Human, then take the Rope and lower it down. Have the other one grab a Spear and climb down the Rope. The dinosaur takes two Spears to kill, so do just that, then head right to finish level. ----- Level 9 - Feed the God -------------------------------------- 02.10 ---- Needed: 5 Password: PYST Time: 1: 1080 2: 0830 3: 0580 Shop: Spear Climb the ladder and drop into the pit to the left, and then stack against the far wall. As the next Human, head past the first one, then stack against the ledge to the left. Continue the tradition and take your third Human past the first two. This time, there's a ladder to descend - do it, duh. Climb the ladder to the left, then follow the path around, climbing whatever ladders come your way. Collect the Rope and drop it over the edge to the right. Have someone collect the Rope and make their way over to the Human in the pit and give him a helping hand. Once he's out, follow the same path round as before, but have him climb the ladder before the Rope. At the top of the ladder, head right, down the ledges, to reach the Spear. After pulling up the other Human here, take the Rope and help him make his way back up. Head left with the Spear and climb the ladder, then stick the pointy end in the dinosaur's face. Grab the other Spear and continue up and right. Vault over the pool of water and throw the Spear back over. The guy with the Rope should throw it over the pool and vault after it using the Spear. Now, drop down and vault the gap, then throw the Spear back over. Have your other Human do the same, but make sure he throws the Rope over first. Once the second Human is over, stack him against the ledge. Climb down the ladder to the right and drop the Rope over the edge, then take the Spear and vault across the gap. Take the Rope and climb down the ladder. Lower the Rope down to the left, then have the nearby Human climb down to reach the food. ----- Level 10 - Rescue Fido -------------------------------------- 02.11 ---- Needed: 5 Password: LKLQ Time: 1: 1740 2: 1490 3: 1240 Shop: Spear, Torch Head right and stack next to the ledge at the bottom. Your next Human should grab the Spear and continue right. Vault the gap and throw the Spear back across. Your remaining Human on that side needs to retrieve the Spear and join him. With Spear in hand, head right and climb down the ladder. There's a dinosaur just across the gap and a Spear on the ground. Nail the dinosaur from across the gap with the first Spear, then vault over with the second one. Don't worry, you're safe where you land - the dinosaur isn't, so finish it off. Head to the left and grab the Torch. Down the ladder to the left of it is a bush that needs igniting. Behind it is a Spear that'll be needed a little later. Take the Torch back to the gap where the dinosaur was and throw it over. Return for the Spear and vault back over the gap. Burn the bush that's sitting at the top of the ladder you passed earlier - this frees two of your friends and a Rope. You don't need the Torch, so ditch it for the Rope. No man gets left behind, so throw the Rope over the gap to the left and have someone vault after it before throwing the Spear back over for a second Human. After the rescue attempt, you'll have three Humans that need to find their way back across the gap. A little awkward, but needed. The Rope now needs to be lowered over the edge of the gap at the bottom of the second ladder. Have your other three Humans climb down the Rope, making sure one of them grabs the Spear. Once they're down, drop the Rope after them and have someone lower it over the edge to the right. Again, make your remaining Humans climb down, making sure not to neglect the Spear. Drop the Rope down to your remaining Humans and have someone lower it over the edge to the left. What you'll have now is two spare Humans, a Spear, and a dinosaur at the bottom of the Rope. Take care of the dinosaur (make sure to take the Rope with you). With the Rope, you can navigate the next few ledges by stacking one Human and retrieving them with the Rope. At the end, lower the Rope down the cliff and approach the dinosaur. ----- Level 11 - Visit a Friend ----------------------------------- 02.12 ---- Needed: 5 Password: HDZW Time: 1: 1566 2: 1316 3: 1066 Shop: Spear, Torch You need a Torch, however, there isn't one. Pay a quick visit to your friendly neighbourhood Shaman and purchase one. The bush you need to burn down can found by climbing the ladder to the left - can't really miss it. Grab the Spear and vault across the gap. At the top of the ladder in front of you is a much-needed Rope. Take said Rope and drop it down to your friends below. Vault the gap found at the bottom of the second ladder and you'll find yourself back where you were. Climb the ladder all the way to the top and stack yourself next to the ledge on the right. Have another Human come up to you, making sure he brings the Rope. Once you've climbed over your friend, don't bother dropping into the pit and stacking, simply use the Spear to vault over to the second Spear, then throw one back over and use the other to get back yourself. With both Spears retrieved, take the Rope and throw it across the gap to the left. Obviously, you'll need to throw yourself across the gap, too, so go grab a Spear and do just that. You can't get any further at this moment in time, so stack yourself neatly against the ledge. Using the second Spear, you need to get all the other Humans across this gap by throwing it backwards and forwards. With everyone over the gap and up on the ledge, have someone lower the Rope so you can retrieve the stacked Human. Once that's done, lower the Rope down the big cliff to the left and have all your Humans climb down (make sure to bring your Spears along). At the bottom, someone will need to stack again. The guy on the cliff is of no further use to you, so have him drop the Rope down. Once you're up there, don't forget to lower the Rope for the stacked Human. At the bottom of the ladder, you'll be presented with a gap with a dinosaur on the other side. Vault over and stick your Spear up its nose, then bring your other Humans across the gap with the second Spear (don't forget the Rope). At the bottom of the next ladder, vault over the gap, then throw the Spear back over for your friends before stacking against the nearby ledge. With everyone up on the ledge, be sure to lower the Rope for the unfortunate man-ladder. You surely can't fail to notice the Spear a little way from you, so make sure that someone grabs that. If you weren't paying attention, you'll now have two Spears and a Rope as luggage. To continue, you'll need to lower the Rope over the platform to the left. To get off the platform you land on, you'll need to drop the Rope down and say goodbye to another Human. At the bottom of this platform, you'll find one final dinosaur - this one takes both Spears to kill. Once it's dead, just keep heading right to finish the level. ----- Level 12 - Go Fishing --------------------------------------- 02.13 ---- Needed: 1 Password: NBGF Time: 1: 0806 2: 0556 3: 0306 Shop: Spear, Torch One lone Human he be, all by himself, got nobody. Follow the path all the way around to the right and grab the Torch at the end. All the way to the left of the level is the bush that needs burning. Behind it, you'll find a ladder leading to three Spears. After you've burned the bush and before you start arming yourself, start heading down. Once you reach the dinosaur, just drop the Torch and return for one of the Spears. Once you've wasted said dinosaur, just keep plodding right with Torch in hand. Behind the bush that jumps out at you, you'll find another dinosaur, which requires another walk back for a Spear. Just behind the dinosaur is one final bush that needs defoliating. After that, just walk over to the river to finish things off. ----- Level 13 - Go Hunting --------------------------------------- 02.14 ---- Needed: 5 Password: SWQR Time: 1: 1250 2: 1000 3: 0750 Shop: Spear, Torch Shove one of your Humans into the hole and have him stack against the ledge. Once you've gotten the rest of your team past him, use the Rope to get him out (you don't actually need him, but he makes a handy substitution should you lose somebody). To the left, you'll need to put the Rope to work once more so you can get down the cliff safely. The pit at the bottom requires you to stack two Humans next to the ledge to get out. The Human holding the Rope is useless now, so drop the Rope down to someone else and use it to get the stacked Humans out of the pit. On the ledge are two Spears, one of which needs to be used to kill the dinosaur you see before you. This next bit is far trickier, as you need to not only stack three Humans to get out of the pit, you need to have them all stand on a tiny platform. Once they're all on the platform (hopefully, you remembered the Spear), you need to lower the Rope down the other side. Again, the Human lowering the Rope is stuck up there, so drop the Rope down to someone else. Down the ladder, throw the Rope over the gap and vault after it. There are two Spears here, so you can throw them both over (Spears for everyone, hurrah). After this little bit, there's another two gaps to get both Humans and Rope over. Just after the second gap, you'll need to expend one of those Spears on a dinosaur. Climb down the ladder and take a look to the right - across the gap is a Torch. Vault over and throw it across, then vault back. Head left now and drop off the cliff. Just ahead is the first of three bushes that stand in your way. After that, you'll have to vault a rather large gap. Make sure to bring the Torch with you, obviously. Once you've burned the second bush down, stack against the ledge, then send your last Human to burn the final bush down. The dinosaur behind it requires both Spears to kill. Once it's gone, keep heading left to finish the level. ----- Level 14 - Visit Your Cousin -------------------------------- 02.15 ---- Needed: 1 Password: TYTL Time: 1: 0619 2: 0369 3: 0119 Shop: Spear, Torch, Wheel Climb the ladder and grab the Spear. You need to time your jump so you land on the moving platform, then time your next jump to get off at the other side. The timing, however, isn't hard, and the platform moves rather slowly. Once across, grab the Torch and throw it across the gap in front if you, then vault after it. The bush you need to burn is right at the top of the ladder. Behind the bush, you'll find a Wheel and a very large run-up to a relatively small jump. Once you're across, this level is done. ----- Level 15 - Visit a Girly ------------------------------------ 02.16 ---- Needed: 2 Password: XRTD Time: 1: 0726 2: 0476 3: 0226 Shop: Torch Climb the ladder and head left. When the moving platform comes close, step on it. To make things a little awkward, the platform doesn't take you straight to your destination. About halfway across, you'll encounter two more moving platforms; one moving left-to-right like the one you're on, and another moving up and down. You need to transfer to the vertically-moving platform in order to reach the other one. Here's a fun fact, it doesn't matter how far you fall onto a moving platform, you won't die (unless you fall off the screen). On the other side, at the top of the ladder, is a trio of Torches. You only need one, but the game expects you to die horribly at least once. Get back on the moving platform and transfer to the vertically-moving platform, once you reach the top, you'll need to transfer to another platform that takes you over to the right. Once back on solid ground, climb the ladder and burn the bush down. Don't drop into the little pit, just throw the Torch across to your friend, who can then burn the bush down and walk to the exit. ----- Level 16 - Rescue Elmo -------------------------------------- 02.17 ---- Needed: 1 Password: CDSR Time: 1: 0623 2: 0373 3: 0123 Shop: Spear, Torch Climb down the ladder and step onto the moving platform to the right. This one meets in the middle with another platform, but only every fourth trip. Once across, climb down the ladder and grab the Torch, then follow the path around to the right and burn the bush down. At the top of the second ladder, you'll need to make a quick transfer between two vertically-moving platforms - it's really easy, don't worry. Across the other side, you'll find a Spear. Now, here's a word of warning: Don't take said Spear and use it to kill the moose. The moose is in fact our friend, Elmo. Killing him will remove the exit to the level. So, just vault across and head towards him to finish things up. ----- Level 17 - Our Idol is Missing ------------------------------ 02.18 ---- Needed: 2 Password: JHYT Time: 1: 0671 2: 0421 3: 0171 Shop: Spear, Torch Two Humans on a ledge with a Rope. You get the idea, right? Have one lower the Rope so the other one can climb down. That's it, his job is done, and the Rope is of no further use. Once down the Rope, head left and climb the ladder. At the top of which, three Spears are on a family outing. Grab the Torch to the left and throw it across the gap, then take one of the Spears and vault after it. Across the other side, there's a bush to burn. Once it's out of the way, drop the Torch over the right side of the platform and vault onto the moving platform with the Spear. At the bottom, vault the gap and burn the bush down. You don't need the Torch now. Down the ladder and to the right is another chance for you to ride a moving platform of joy. However, this one doesn't come right to the edge of where you're standing, it stops short. This means you need to time your vault to land on it. It's exactly the same for when you want to get off. At the other side, climb down the ladder and follow the path around to another Torch. Don't take it just yet, first, climb down the ladder and ride the moving platform up - here, you'll no doubt spot a sabre-toothed cat that needs a Spear between the eyes. Return for the Torch and continue in the direction you were heading before things got toothy. Simply keep heading left until you are presented with the final bush. Behind that, you'll find the Idol. ----- Level 18 - Feed Me ------------------------------------------ 02.19 ---- Needed: 4 Password: MJHN Time: 1: 1200 2: 0950 3: 0700 Shop: Spear, Torch Head down the ladder and stack against the cliff. You need another two Humans stacked here get past. Once you've done that, have the last available Human climb up and lower the Rope for the others. To the right, you'll have to lower the Rope for your friends. At the bottom, you'll find two Spears, but you only need one. Just ahead is the chance to use it. The guy with the Rope can't be left behind this time, so form a stack of Humans and allow him to climb down. Use the Spear to get your team across the gap. Make sure to bring the Rope. You'll need to stack against the ledge to get further. Again, use the Rope to help your friends up. Climb down the ladder and head left, then climb down the second ladder and continue up the next one. At the top is a Torch - grab it and head back the way you came. Head down the ladder you walked past, then burn the bush and continue down. At the bottom is a button - stand on it to raise a gate later in the level. Take the other Humans past the place where you found the Torch. The moving platform at the edge will take you safely to the bottom. Head left (through the gate that's being held open) and climb the ladder. The platform here will take you up to a second platform. The danger here is that if you don't switch platforms at the first given opportunity, you'll be knocked to your death. That platform will deliver you to the exit. Simply stack two Humans against the ledge and have the third climb up to reach the food. ----- Level 19 - Let's Get Our Friend ----------------------------- 02.20 ---- Needed: 3 Password: TRWM Time: 1: 0635 2: 0385 3: 0135 Shop: Spear, Torch, Wheel Head right and stack against the ledge. Send another Human over to stack next to the other side of the ledge. Your last free Human should go get the Spear. With Spear in hand, climb the first ladder and vault the gap to the left. Grab the Torch and throw it over, then vault back. Leave the Spear here. Take the Torch and burn the bush at the top of the second ladder. Ride the Wheel down the slope and make a jump towards the button. The target platform is small, but you shouldn't have to worry about overshooting. With a Human (or the Wheel) sitting safely on the button, have your last remaining Human climb the first ladder and vault over to the friend you were sent to get. ----- Level 20 - Recover the Boulder ------------------------------ 02.21 ---- Needed: 5 Password: PLMN Time: 1: 1190 2: 0940 3: 0690 Shop: Spear, Torch Climb to the bottom of the huge ladder to the left and stack against the ledge to the right. Send another Human down and stack against the other side to allow a third Human to collect the Rope and make it back over. Once you have the Rope, use it to free the now-trapped Human. Climb back up the ladder and take the one next to it. At the top, throw the Rope across the gap to the left. Normally, you'd grab a Spear and vault after it, but there aren't any, so purchase one and, well, vault the gap. After the second such jump, climb down the ladder and take the one to the left. At the bottom is a mammoth - it's rather angry and takes two hits to get all dead. Carefully hit it the once and retreat back up the ladder. Bring another Human across with another store-bought Spear and finish the mammoth off. Stack against the ledge to the right and bring down your other Human to stand on his shoulders. Bring a third and fourth Human across the same was as before (share the same Spear). Over the side of this little cliff, you will find a Torch. Don't drop down just yet, use the Rope to pull your friends up, then have them stack on the other side. Grab the Torch, then pull them back out of the pit. Take someone and stand them on the button in the top-left corner of the level, this opens the gate behind the bush. Speaking of which, climb the ladder and burn the bush down. The gate stops the sabre-toothed cat from eating you, so stay behind it and throw the Spear. With the cat gone, stack two Humans next the ledge to the right and have another Human climb to the top and grab the boulder. ----- Level 21 - Help Shaman -------------------------------------- 02.22 ---- Needed: 3 Password: SSXC Time: 1: 0930 2: 0680 3: 0430 Shop: Unavailable Climb the ladders and hop onto the platform when it arrives. If the platform reaches the end of its journey, you're going to get a Spear between the eyes, or between someone else (depends which way you're facing). Grab the Torch from the platform near the top, then step back on the platform as it's on the way down. Transfer from this platform to the horizontal-moving one. Once you reach the other side, climb down the ladder and stack next to the ledge. You need to bring another Human here now. Once you've gone through the rigmarole, climb down the ladder and burn the bush. Don't worry about the moose down the ladder to the left - that's Elmo. Climb the ladder and ride the platform across the gap before climbing another ladder and riding another platform to the left. At the top of the next ladder, prepare to face your nemesis - the evil Wheel. The run-up is short, and the result of failure is the same as always. If you live, you'll need the Torch again, so throw it across the gap. Actually, the price of failure is even higher - if you fall and take the Wheel with you, then you're screwed, as with the Shaman preoccupied, you won't be able to purchase a replacement. Once at the other side, climb the ladder and burn the bush. Throw the Spears over to the right and arm your fellow Human. Return to the platform that took you towards the mysterious Human and ready your Spear. As soon as is possible, stab that sucker in the face. Approach the Shaman to finish the level. ----- Level 22 - Find Your Friend --------------------------------- 02.23 ---- Needed: 5 Password: KLLY Time: 1: 1300 2: 1050 3: 0800 Shop: Spear, Torch Climb the ladder to the left and ride the first moving platform up to the first cliff. Head right and stack against the ledge. Bring another two Humans up here and stack one on his shoulders to allow the other to pass. Head right and ride the moving platform up to the Spear. Wait for the platform to come back and ride it down to the bottom, then transfer over to the other platform. As the second platform approaches the left, prepare the Spear for the hostile Human guarding the Torch. Take the Torch back to the left and ride the platform up to where you found the Spear. Burn the bush and grab the Spear behind it, then head back the way you came. You obviously can't get past the ledge you dropped down from, so send another to Humans up there to stack on your side. With the Spear, head back to the moving platform above the start point and ride it up to the hostile Human at the top. Stick your Spear in his ear and go step on the button. Send one of your remaining Humans over to the right and have them grab the Torch. Ride the platform all the way to the top, then burn the bush down to free the trapped Human. If, at some point in the level, you should find yourself in need of another Spear, there's one behind the bush on the ledge under the button. ----- Level 23 - It's Your Wife's Birthday ------------------------ 02.24 ---- Needed: 4 Password: QRWS Time: 1: 1005 2: 0755 3: 0505 Shop: Spear Climb the ladder to the left and grab one of the Spears - make sure to bring the other one with you, however. Vault the gaps, obviously. A little way after the second jump, you'll have to take out a rogue Human. If you stay near the edge, you'll be safe to take your time. Grab the Spear and climb the ladder. Stack the other Humans next to the cliff and climb up. Climb the ladder and take the Rope - be sure to return for your comrades. Climb back up the ladder and make all your Humans ride the platform across the gap. At the other side, you'll be greeted with two more Spears - don't leave them behind, of course. Climb down the ladder and lower the Rope over the cliff to the left. Once you have everyone down, the Human up on the ledge is useless, so drop the Rope down to someone else. Have your Humans climb the ladder and vault the gap. At the top of the next ladder, have two Humans stack against the ledge to the right. Once you're up, use the Rope to retrieve your friends. You don't technically need them, but let's face it, you're probably going to die, so the more the merrier. Up the ladder and over the next gap is a moving platform. At the end of the ride is a hostile Human guards the exit. Like I said, it's a tricky shot, and you're likely to die, so once that rogue element is removed, have a remaining Human walk to the exit. If you didn't die - good for you. I, however, just lost a bet. ----- Level 24 - Go Home for Tea ---------------------------------- 02.25 ---- Needed: 4 Password: VBSR Time: 1: 1320 2: 1070 3: 0820 Shop: Spear, Torch Climb the ladder to the left and follow the path up (note the button). At the top of the second ladder, grab the Spear and continue on your merry way. From the top of the next ladder, throw the Spear over to the right, then return to the button to open the gate. Your fellow Humans can now use the Spear to clear the gap. With all three across, head back down and have them vault the gap to the left of the start point. Once across, climb the ladder and chuck your Spear at the mammoth - it won't kill it, so you'll need to wait until it moves away from the ladder. At the top of said ladder is a Rope. Take it and return to your friends. Head left and lower the Rope down the cliff to allow someone to retrieve the two Spears. Take one of those Spears and finish off the mammoth, then return for the other. Climb the ladder to the left of where the mammoth was and vault the gap, again, throwing the Spear back over for your comrades (don't forget the Rope). At the top of the next ladder, have two of them stack against the ledge to the right. Once you've gotten the guy with the Rope up, lower it down for the others, then once they're up, lower it down the other side to get them safely into the pit. Stack one of them next to the ledge and have the other one continue right and climb the ladder. Vaulting over to the igloo on the right sees the level end. ----- Level 25 - Find Those Fishies ------------------------------- 02.26 ---- Needed: 2 Password: TVYP Time: 1: 0780 2: 0530 3: 0280 Shop: Spear, Torch, Wheel Climb down the ladder and grab a Spear, then continue down the next ladder and vault the gap. Now, here's the tricky bit - from the bottom of the next ladder, you have to vault over to the moving platform to the right. Ride the platform to the top and throw the Spear at the hostile running around, also to the right. Take the nearby Spear and ride the platform back down and transfer to the other one. This platform doesn't quite go all the way to the left, so vault over to solid ground. The Wheel here can be placed over the switch to activate it. Get back on the platform and transfer back to the vertically-moving one (via vaulting). At the top, head right and take a ride on another moving platform (jump over to it). Ride it down until you see the second ladder on the right, then perform a full power jump over to it. Believe me, this is much easier than transferring to the platform at the bottom. Climb that very ladder and throw a Spear at the hostile Human - as long as you throw it at full power, you can stand safely on the edge. Climb back down the ladder, then down the one to the right to retrieve the Torch. Head back up to burn the bush behind where the hostile was. Climb the ladder to be reunited with your friend. Behind the bush at the top of the next ladder is a Spear. Here's the clever bit - stand next to the ladder and throw the Spear at the hostile as hard as you can, it'll gain just enough height to take him out. Stack against the ledge to allow your remaining Human to reach the river. ----- Level 26 - Find Your Brother -------------------------------- 02.27 ---- Needed: 3 Password: LKMV Time: 1: 1310 2: 1060 3: 0810 Shop: Spear, Torch Ride the platform over to the right, then climb down the ladder and drop into the pit to the left. You need two Humans to stack against the far wall to get out, so bring them over and do just that. With the Rope that's just a fraction away from you, pull your comrades up and out of the pit. Drop down the other side and grab the Spear. The gap is too large for you to vault, so wait for the platform in the middle to appear, then jump over to it. You can either purchase an extra Spear here, or you can jump over to the one across the other side of the gap and throw it back over. At the bottom, jump off and continue right (mind the drop). Vault the gap, then climb the ladder and hitch a ride on the moving platform. At the top, vault over to the left, then vault over to and ride the platform (you need to jump to reach solid ground on the other side). Stand on the button. Take the other Human with the Spear and head down and climb the ladder from before. Ride the platform up and vault over to the right. Spear the hostile here and take the Torch. Drop it over the edge and ride the platform back down, Spear in hand. Throw the Torch over the gap to the right and vault after it. Burn the bush, then ride the Wheel over the button and return to the moving platform. Vault over to the left and have the Human with the Rope throw it to your current guy so he can pull him out of the pit. Vault over to the moving platform and step back onto solid ground. Make sure the Human on the other side is out of the way, then throw the Spear over to him. Climb the ladder to the right and stack against the wall. The Human on the first button can ride back now and take his place on his shoulders. The Human who now holds the Spear can follow suit and vault over to the moving platform. Climb the ladder, then the stack of pinkness to reach your brother. ----- Level 27 - Get Food for Party ------------------------------- 02.28 ---- Needed: 4 Password: QVCX Time: 1: 1270 2: 1020 3: 0770 Shop: Spear, Torch Ride the platform down and transfer across to the second one. Take the Rope and have your next two Humans join with your current one, but make sure they stop for a Spear each along the way. Climb down the ladder and head right, then drop over the ledge and lower the Rope over the side. Send someone with a Spear down and approach the gap. You should see a hostile Human run into view. From here, you can take your time to make sure he never runs anywhere ever again. You only have one Spear now, so use it to get your three remaining Humans across the gap. Have the one with the Rope drop it down to someone else so they can make use of it. Have them climb the ladder and stack two against the ledge. Have the one with the Rope climb up and lower it down for the others (only one is needed for the next bit, but having both is nice). Lower the Rope down the other side and have someone grab the Spear. Make sure to leave the Spear you already have with the guy with the Rope. To get on the platform to the right, you'll need to vault to it. To get off, you'll also have to vault (such is life). Climb down the ladder and follow the path around. At the end, vault the gap and climb the ladder. From the top of the ladder, you can reach the platform. Climb the second ladder and stand on the switch. Send the Human who had the Rope, Spear in hand, back down the ladder and across the gap. Kill the hostile behind the door and make your way back across the gap (with your new Spear) and up the ladder with the Torch. From where you lowered the Rope down, throw the Torch across to the foot of the ladder opposite. The Human standing on the switch doesn't need to stand on it any longer, so send him down to collect the Torch. Climb the first ladder this time and burn the bush. Jump the gap with the Wheel to reach the food. ----- Level 28 - Party Time --------------------------------------- 02.29 ---- Needed: 3 Password: PMHR Time: 1: 1100 2: 0850 3: 0600 Shop: Spear, Torch Climb the ladder and transfer to the platform at the top. You need to be on the moving platform lower than you, but it'll come get you itself, which is nice. Get off when it reaches the bottom and grab the Rope. Be sure to bring the second Human here as well. Have the third Human stack against the ledge to allow everyone to get out of the pit, then pull him up with the Rope. Climb the ladder and get off to the left. Lower the Rope down and have someone collect the Spear. With the Spear in hand, climb to the top of the ladder and make your way right. Lower the Rope down the cliff and use the Spear at the bottom to get both Humans across the gap (make sure one of them, brings the Rope). At the top of the ladder, ride the moving platform all the way over to the left. Once you reach solid ground, continue left and drop down. Vault to the moving platform and ride it over to the ladder. At the top, throw your Spear over to kill the hostile, then purchase another Spear and vault the gap. Grab the Torch and throw it over to the right, along with one of the Spears. Return to the ledge and have your second Human pull you up. Grab the Torch and ride the platform over to the ladder. At the top, burn the bush and kill the rhino (it takes one Spear). Continue right and vault the gap. Throw the Spear back for your friend. The hostile Human over there won't attack you from this distance, so just stay near the ledge and throw the Spear. Climb down the ladder, stopping off halfway for a Spear. At the bottom, throw the Spear at the marauding hostile, then purchase a new one from the Shaman. Once across the gap, climb down the ladder and head right to finish the level and the game. The ending has hip-thrusting. Hip-thrusting frightens me. You wanted this, so welcome to the party, pal. ===== Password List =============================================== 03.00 ==== Prehistoric Age: Ice Age: Level 1 - XXXX Level 10 - LKLQ Level 15 - XRTD Level 24 - VBSR Level 2 - CVBM Level 11 - HDZW Level 16 - CDSR Level 25 - TVYP Level 3 - QWSD Level 12 - NBGF Level 17 - JHYT Level 26 - LKMV Level 4 - PLKP Level 13 - SWQR Level 18 - MJHN Level 27 - QVCX Level 5 - MNBV Level 14 - TYTL Level 19 - TRWM Level 28 - PMHR Level 6 - VBCD Level 20 - PLMN Level 7 - ZXVZ Level 21 - SSXC Level 8 - KJHR Level 22 - KLLY Level 9 - PYST Level 23 - QRWS ===== Frequently Asked Questions ================================== 04.00 ==== === General Questions === Q: What's the difference between the Prehistoric Age and the Ice Age? A: Ice, mainly. Moving platforms increase, as do hostiles, and the general difficulty. Other than that, the soundtrack becomes really rather good. === Questions About This Guide === Q: Can I use your guide on my site? A: As of this moment, no you cannot host my guide. Why? Because I believe that the number of sites that I�m allowing to host this guide is enough, enough to keep track of and enough to provide adequate distribution to you, the wonderful FAQ-reading public. Q: I have this guide, would it be okay if I used a part of yours? A: *Chokes* part of mine? What would be the point of that? You can use my guide as reference for all the things that I can�t own (i.e. facts), but you can�t go lifting entire paragraphs, even if you credit me for it. Just read the copyright notice at the top of this guide, and then think twice before 'borrowing' anything from me. Q: If I've found something that you were too stupid to include, or something that you've missed, what should I do? A: You could take it, turn it sideways and shove it... *ahem* just drop me a line and tell me in exact detail as to what it was that I screwed up on or missed out. If you can help me to make this guide more accurate, you�ll win a cookie, a kudos cookie (great on calories, lousy on taste). ===== Credits and Outro =========================================== 05.00 ==== Welcome to Evolution, sir. One head or two? I recommend the Chateauneuf du pape with that, sir. Ah, we've reached the end of the evolutionary trail. The guide is done, and so are we. What more can I say? Good night and be most excellent to one another. Also, get out and turn the lights off. === Special Mentions and Thanks === The layout of this guide is based upon the layout used by Dalez in his Breath of Fire IV guide [http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/2741.html].
