Krell Canyon, Planet Lumos

Krell Canyon, Planet Lumos

[ ] Explore Odin Caves.

After you're out of your ship, head towards Azimuth by crossing the mine tracks and walking forwards until you reach a gap. Azimuth will throw a green light down in to the gap so you can see. Drop down in to the gap and turn the bolt crank to raise a bridge.

Once it's raised, go over to the blue Hydroplant, and stand on it. Jump whilst standing on it to be thrown up in to the air. Land on the elevated platform in front of you, and ascend the elevated platforms until you reach a second Hydroplant.

Stand on it and jump to be thrown up, and then land on the higher platform. Jump to hang from the pipe and shimmy to the left, and then jump to hang on to the higher part of the pipe. Keep jumping up the pipe until you return to where you were before. Follow Azimuth over the bridge. Keep following him until you see a cutscene.

After the cutscene, follow Azimuth. You can flee the Teramites at running speed, there's no need to equip the Hoverboots. Once you're at the creek, keep following Azimuth, and he'll go right at the fork in the road. Jump over the platforms with him until you reach a gap with some movable platforms floating in the middle.

Use your kinetic tether to move the platforms as far out as you can, and then jump to the one closest to you. Jump to the next one, and then quickly equip your Hoverboots, accelerate and immediately jump to the next platform. You'll see another Hydroplant. Use it to throw yourself up to the ledge on the adjacent wall, and then shimmy across to the right and press R2 when you're above the pipe.

Make sure you're facing to the left (press X to jump over to the other side of the pipe if you're facing to the right) and then shimmy across to where Azimuth is waiting for you. Press R2 when you're well and truly above the stream, and then meet up with Azimuth. Go off the jump with him, and then after the cutscene, go outside.

[ ] Destroy the Agorian Riders.

[SP] After the cutscene you'll have to follow Azimuth. If you haven't already, go to the armour vendor and buy the Ectoflux Armour. Then, accelerate down the ramp. After you land on the other side, you'll have 5 targets. Go to the weapons vendor and but the Plasma Striker, if you have enough bolts.

Start out by killing the rider in this general area. Try to aim at the actual rider rather than the animal he's riding on, this just speeds things up and saves you ammo, but feel free to take the animal down as well for some extra XP and bolts. Use your Plasma Striker and Constructo Pistol to take him down. Toss out a Mr. Zurkon if you wish.

Once he's dead, follow Azimuth to find the next rider. Use your Constructo Bomb
here to take care of the extra enemies, as well as the rider, and the animal if you wish. Keep moving and flipping to avoid the rider's attacks. Kill the other enemies before trying to kill the rider as well (although, when you use the Constructo Bomb, the splash damage takes care of everyone at once).

Once the second rider is dead, follow Azimuth again to find the third rider. Toss out a few Tesla Spikes, and a Mr. Zurkon, as there's a ton of enemies here to take care of. Take out your Sonic Eruptor and start killing enemies, until a black ship arrives in the air. Once it arrives, focus your firepower on it rather than the enemies. Use your Constructo Pistol to take it down, and then the third rider will arrive.

There will be other enemies to deal with, so plant more Tesla Spikes and call in Mr. Zurkon again if need be. Focus your attention on the rider, and use all you've got to kill him. You may be low on supplies, but don't leave until he's down and out.

Once he is, follow Azimuth to the fourth rider, or rather, the second ship you'll have to destroy before the rider will show up. My advice would be to go the weapons vendor you pass on the way there to buy more ammo, then go to fight the ship and the next 2 riders. Use your Constructo Pistol to destroy the ship, and your Sonic Eruptor or Constructo Bomb to kill the rider.

Follow Azimuth to find the last rider. As before, throw out some Tesla Spikes and deploy a Mr. Zurkon to take some of the heat while you focus on the rider. Don't stop flipping or moving to avoid being hit by the rider, and unload everything you've got in to him until he's dead.

[X] Destroy the Agorian Riders.
[ ] Hunt down the Hydra Tanks.

After the cutscene, you'll have automatically replenished your ammo supply. There are now 2 Hydra Tanks marked on your map. Go to the one in the top right hand corner of the map, the one situated where the third rider was killed. Throw out some Tesla Spikes and call in Mr. Zurkon. The Hydra Tank won't move much, so the Tesla Spikes will be quite effective. Throw more if the existing ones disappear.

The Hydra Tank will attack you in several ways. He will shoot fire at you, and the easiest way to avoid this is to strafe and flip around him in circles. He will also have flamethrowers that rotate along the ground. When he uses these, simply stand still and jump when the flamethrower gets to you. He'll change the direction of rotation, so keep vigilant. Keep your distance as well, getting in to close contact with the tank isn't smart.

Once the tank is down to 2 thirds of its original health, he'll activate a shield and 3 versa-fuses will appear. Pull one out to deactivate the shield  and to resume combat. Keep the Mr. Zurkons and Tesla Spikes coming, as these speed the battle up, hence reducing the chance of you dying. Keep hitting him with all you've got, circling him at all time and flipping over his flamethrower attack.

Once the tank is down to 2 thirds of its original health, he'll reactivate the shield and 2 versa-fuses will appear. Pull one out to deactivate the shield  and to resume combat. Throw out more Tesla Spikes, call in another Mr. Zurkon and keep the carnage coming. Even if you're down to using the Sonic Eruptor, having to get close to damage him, keep at it. Remember that there are ammo boxes around this area, but not many, so use what you get wisely.

Once the tank has no health left, he'll reactivate his shield and the last versa-fuse will appear. Pull it out to destroy the tank. One down, one to go. Restock on ammo at the weapons vendor, then go and take care of the final Hydra Tank.

This time, you'll have extra enemies to deal with. As you don't want to waste ammo on them, you'll have to keep moving all the time, away from the enemies coming at you. Kill them if you need to, but keep focused on the tank as much as possible. Keep the Tesla Spikes and the Mr. Zurkons coming, and follow the advice given when fighting the first Hydra Tank to come out victorious. Also, don't be afraid to leave the battle to get more ammo or health, it's worth the time in the long run.

[X] Hunt down the Hydra Tanks.
[ ] Eliminate Agorian Air Support.

After the cutscene, you'll be at the defence station. press Triangle to get in. You'll have to destroy 40 ships to end the attack altogether. Press R1 to fire your fusion turret. Hold L1 to lock on to targets, and release L1 to fire homing missiles at your targets.

Whilst you can lock on to multiple targets at once, when you release L1, you will only have lost one piece of ammo for the missiles, so make the most of them and lock on to multiple targets before releasing L1. Targets are not locked on to instantly either, so keep L1 held down for a while, then release once you've got a few targets.

Also, you can't shoot the enemy's shots, so if a bullet is coming for you, it will hit you. Just focus on the ships. Always draw your focus to the front and not the sides. Don't turn to the sides too much or you'll be ambushed from the front.

Remember that your machine gun can overheat if you use it for an extended period of time, so once you hear beeping and see the meter on the left go in to the red zone, stop until the meter goes back down to the bottom, then continue firing.

[X] Eliminate Agorian Air Support.
[ ] Explore Vogal Caves.

Once you've eliminated 40 ships, you'll see a cutscene. After the cutscene, swing across the gap with the Swingshot and another cutscene will ensue. After the cutscene, you'll be in the caves. You'll also have a new gadget, the OmniSoaker. This allows you to extract liquids from their sources, and disperse the liquid somewhere else.

Suck some water up from the stream and use it to water the Hydroplant, then use the Hydroplant to jump up to the next platform. Jump down, then extract some nectar from the creature opposite you. Shoot some nectar near the Teramite hive and then run past them while they feast.

Once you're past them, suck some more water up and water the next Hydroplant. Use the Hydroplant to jump up to the higher platform in front of you, then extract some more nectar. Cross the stream, then throw some nectar at the next Teramite hive. Run past them whilst they're distracted, and then you'll come to a dead end. Throw more nectar at the tentacles blocking your way, and then wait for the Teramites to tickle your passageway open.

Once the path is clear, extract some more nectar from the nearby creature and go on through. Shoot some more nectar to distract the Teramites. Don't shoot it on the path because then you'll be injured as you walk past them. Walk across the bridge, the shoot more nectar at the tentacles.

After the tentacles retract, continue forwards. Extract more nectar, then throw it just near the bolt crank below to distract the Teramites. Jump down there and turn the bolt crank, then, if you need to, shoot some more nectar to keep the Teramites busy while you go to the stream at the other end of this area, suck some water up and use it to grow the Hydroplant. Use the plant to get back up to where Azimuth is, and follow him up the stairs in to the Zoni Temple.

[X] Explore Vogal Caves.

After the cutscene, follow Azimuth through the newly created hole. He'll leave the planet, and so should you. Head for the Agorian Battleplex, we've got someone to rescue!
