Lode Runner for the Xbox 360 Arcade Single player puzzles 1-50 solaris32 Version: 1.00 Xbox 360 This is my first guide so cut me some slack please. This guide is intended for you to solve the puzzles, not achieve the fastest time possible. ____________________________________________________________________________ First, if you are looking for a particular puzzle, on your keyboard ctrl-f then type "puzzle1", "puzzle2", etc. While reading these walkthroughs there will be paragraph breaks. When you see a paragraph break, Lode Runner (LR) is allowed to stop moving and you can take a breather and assess your next moves. Otherwise you almost certainly will have to keep moving and not stop. This guide assumes you played the practice levels of "basic game play" and "advanced techniques" so that you understand what is going on in the guides. I will explain the special blocks myself. Now a word about the various blocks and such you will encounter. As you play you will learn which blocks are shootable and which are not. Don't get stuck! Stalactites: These hang from a shootable block. Shooting the block will cause these to fall, breaking the block it hits, covering lava blocks so you can temporarily safely cross, or kill you or an enemy. Snow blocks: White fluffy blocks on the ice levels. Shooting any part of a connected chain of these will cause the blocks to break and disappear from the point you shot it. Lava blocks: Will kill you or an enemy as soon as you touch it. Can only be crossed by having a stalactite fall on it. Move quickly! Double-blast (DB) blocks: In the ruins levels, these blocks are the ones with faces on them. Must be shot twice. Bombs also only have the effect of 1 shot. Shooting it once will cause it to be a single block, and will never become a DB block again until you shoot it one more time. This trick is really only useful in level 50. Doors: Sometimes you will come to a mine level with 2 doors. To go through them hold up and you will come out through the other door. ____________________________________________________________________________ TIPS: A few tips to make playing easier. First though, getting used to LR's movement takes practice. Even then, you will still occasionally make a mistake, but don't worry about that; practice makes perfect. First tip is when you are running towards a ladder, instead of holding the stick left or right, hold it at an angle that you wish to traverse the ladder. For example, you are heading left towards a ladder leading up. Hold the control stick in the upper left position to quickly begin climbing the ladder as soon as you reach it. Keep it in the upper left position to quickly get off the ladder and begin running to the left at the first available platform. This tip will save you valuable split seconds. The next tip is what I have labeled "tunneling" and is a staple of the Lode Runner series. Say you have 4 shootable blocks next to a 5th non-shootable block. You are standing on the non-shootable block. Go left 3 blocks shoot left, go right 1 block shoot left, go right 1 block shoot left, go right 1 block shoot left. You now have cleared a platform 1 block by 4 blocks deep. You can jump in this new space and shoot out 3 more blocks. Jump in this and shoot out 2 more blocks. Jump in this and shoot out 1 block. This is called tunneling. To save myself time, I will tell you to tunnel and you should do what is described above, and I will also tell you the direction to tunnel. The next trick is simply spamming the shoot button as you hold the control stick in the direction you wish tunnel. This trick saves a few split seconds also, but is really only needed for level 50. ____________________________________________________________________________ Puzzles: Puzzle1: Tunnel the 2 blocks. Jump down right get gold, climb up ladder, jump down left get gold. Run to exit. Puzzle2: Get on right ladder. Climb down and shoot top right block, then shoot the bottom right block. Run up to top of ladder. Move left 3. Shoot right. Go down left ladder. Shoot top left block, then shoot the bottom left block. Gold should now be all on the bottom. Gather it and go through exit. Puzzle3: Right 1 shoot right. Run to the right, up the ladder, left across the hangrail, drop down, left 1 shoot right, drop down, run right and to the exit. Puzzle4: Left 2, drop down from hangrail, right 1 get gold. Go all the way left, up the ladder, go all the way right. Drop down and get the bottom right gold. Climb up right ladder, go left 4, drop down from hangrail. Go left 5 getting both gold. Go right to the exit. Puzzle5: Left shoot. Right 1, left 1, right shoot, left 1. Drop down on the right and head up the ladder. Get the dropped gold to the left of door. Go through door. Left 1, right 3, left to exit. Puzzle6: This one is incredibly simple. Simply run up the ladders and across the hangrails as needed, and drop down to get the gold. Don't shoot anything. Then go to the exit. Puzzle7: Run to the right and all the way up the right ladder. Left 4 shoot right. Left 5, you should now be on the 2nd left ladder. Proceed up and to the top of the 3rd ladder, then head right all the way getting both gold before the block you shot regenerates. Left to the exit. Puzzle8: Right 1 left shoot, right 5 left shoot, right 4, left shoot. Right 2 jump down. Head all the way left getting all gold. This method will also grant you less than 9 seconds getting you that gamerpic. Puzzle9: Right 4 shoot right. Left 1, all the way up ladder, right 2, go through door, shoot right. Go all the way left to get gold. From gold spot, shoot right, then head right and up the ladder, then right some more dropping down and getting the gold. No you can't have the pickaxe. Puzzle10: Left 1 block, down 2 left shoot, down 2 left shoot, freeing the gold. Go back up the ladder. Right 3, left shoot then immediately right shoot. All the way down this 2nd ladder, shoot left. Up 1 right 3, shoot left. You should be on the 3rd ladder, go all the way up. Right 3 shoot left, down 1 shoot right, down 3 shoot left when the snow has cleared. Drop down on the left, then head all the way left getting the first gold, then all the way right to the exit before the snow regenerates. Puzzle11: All the way left. Right 3, drop down, shoot left, drop bomb, right 1. Bomb blows grab gold then go to the exit. Puzzle12: This puzzle is important because it teaches you about waiting till just before a block regenerates to shoot again. Important for later levels. Go all the way up the right ladder. Shoot the top 2 stacked blocks. Wait until just before the 2nd block regenerates, then shoot the 3rd block. Run up ladder. Right 1, shoot right. Drop down then go left. Go all the way up the left ladder. Shoot the top 3 stacked blocks. Wait until just before the 3rd one regenerates, then shoot the 4th one. Run up ladder. Left 3 shoot left, left 2 shoot right.

Go down the let ladder and get the gold. Wait until the enemy is all the way on the left side then climb up. Go right 5 onto the 3rd ladder. All the way up, all the way right, then all way the down this 6th ladder. Climb up the ladder when the enemy has moved 2 to the right so he is between the 3rd and 4th ladders. This will take a little bit of practice the first time. Go all the way up the 6th ladder, then left to the 3rd ladder. Go down a bit then drop to the right, then right again so you're on the 4th ladder. Go all the way up then right to the 5th ladder. Go down 3 so the enemy can see you. Wait until he is below the gold. Climb up to the left, go down the 4th ladder just enough so you can get the gold via his head. Back to the 4th ladder, then the 5th ladder. All the way down the 5th ladder, all the way left to the 2nd ladder. All the way up the 2nd ladder, then move when the enemy has moved 3 to the left. All the way right to the 5th ladder, go all the way up. Notice the enemy moved 1 while you traversed the 5th ladder? Go left to the 3rd ladder, all the up, then all way left to the exit. Puzzle14: Left shoot, run right and grab gold, run all the way left dropping down. Tunnel from left to right so you reach the left ladder. Run up left ladder and shoot the top blue block before the snow regenerates. Down 1, right 1. Wait until the blocks you tunneled regenerate, then tunnel from right to left, left to right, then right. Drop down go to exit. Puzzle15: This one's fun (sarcasm). An enemy will come out of the grate and you have to lure him so he gets the gold, then dies on the lava block making the gold disappear. I like to remove the harder gold first, so we will do that. Don't worry if you mess up, there's an infinite number of times he can spawn. Just don't fall in the hole, or let him fall in the hole before you get all the gold. Down the first ladder. Wait until the enemy (he) approaches the 6th ladder. Climb up the 1st ladder. Wait until he is on the hangrail, then you go down the 1st ladder. Wait until he is on the 5th ladder, then go up the 1st ladder. Head right and go up the 3rd ladder.

When you are on the 3rd ladder, wait until he is on the hangrail, then head all the way left and go down the first ladder. He should get the 2nd gold and kill himself. Repeat this process and have him get the 4th gold and 5th gold. Now it is time to trap him in that pit. Repeat the process for the 2nd gold, but head all the way down to the 2nd ladder and go down it. He should trap himself. Grab the 1st gold and go through the exit. Puzzle16: Tunnel the top 3 blocks.

Get the gold. Go to the remaining enemy and stand on his head (3 left from the 2nd ladder from the right). Left shoot then head up the ladders to the other side and drop all the way down. Repeat the process with the new block in front of him. Now drop down onto his head from above and proceed to the exit.
