Tombli Outpost, Planet Zanifar

[ ] Travel to the Past.

Head forwards and kill the 2 enemies here, being careful not to kill the Pollen Plant if you're near it as it will damage you. Don't swing over the gap yet. Rather, pull out your Plasma Striker and aim for each droid's weak spot. It's a one hit kill, so once they're both dead, go over the gap, wit for the door to open, then go back over the other side.

2 more droids will appear, but they'll stay inside. Simply aim at their weak spots from a distance and shoot. Do the same for the mech - move so that you can see his weak spot and fire until you run out of ammo or he's dead. In either case, head over to the other side, finish the job if need be, then proceed inside.

There will be another enemy down the hall. Do as you did with the previous enemy, and wait outside the hallway to the side. Once the electric shockwaves stop coming, quickly go in front of the enemy with your plasma Striker, aim at the enemy's weak spot and fire for a one hit kill. Move forwards in to the next room, replenish your ammo supply and go out the next door. Buy the Groovitron Glove if you've got the cash, it'll be useful later on.

[ ] Deactivate the Containment Grid.

After the cutscene, stay here and snip as many droids as possible without straying very far from the door. You'll be able to get a few, but eventually they'll come up in front of you. Take out your Sonic Eruptor and kill anyone that gets close, then boost over to the left side of this area.

You may still have a few droids to deal with, but after they're gone, you'll have mechs to deal with. The key is to stay far away so they won't shoot at you, and use your Plasma Striker to take down all the enemies. Aim at the weak spots to conserve ammo, as you'll have quite a few targets. If you run out of ammo, call in Mr. Zurkon, and go up to the mechs, shooting at them with your Constructo Pistol.

Once the mechs are down, go through the newly opened passageway. Go down this path until you see cutscene. After the cutscene, go forwards to find a Zoni. Grab it, then pull out your OmniSoaker and suck some water up from the melted
snow nearby. Use it to water a Hydroplant near the edge of the cliff, then use it to jump and glide to the next platform. Water the next Hydroplant and do the same.

On the platform with the enemies, toss out a Groovitron and proceed to kill all the enemies with your wrench. Water the Hydroplant here, then use it to jump to that platform, landing on the elevated part of the platform in the middle to the Teramites can't get you.

Extract some nectar, then throw it somewhere on the lower part of the platform (away from the bolt crank) to distract the Teramites, then turn the bolt crank. Go across the bridge, throw some nectar at the tentacles and then stand in the water whilst the Teramites do their stuff.

Once the path is cleared, move forwards. Jump on to the vine to grind along it. Jump over the red spikes, and you'll eventually end up at a Hoverboot bolt crank. Press Square, rotate so you're facing the ramp, then press Square again to be launched off the ramp. Kick off the 6 kick pads and then glide to the first tower.

There are a few droids here, so deploy a Mr. Zurkon and use your Constructo Pistol to take them down fairly quickly. Glide to the distant jump pad, and once you're propelled in to the air, glide and land on the next jump pad. Glide to the next tower. There's a Zoni here, so grab him, then use the security scanner. You'll use the security card you got by winning the Bronze Tournament to gain entry.

3 drones will run at you, so use your Sonic Eruptor to take care of them. Toss a Groovitron if they're hitting you too much, so you can kill them without being attacked. Go inside and down the hallway to encounter a mech. Toss a Groovitron at him (if you have any spares), call in Mr. Zurkon, and shoot him yourself with your Constructo Pistol or Sonic Eruptor. Once he's destroyed, go in to the last room and deactivate the containment grid.

[X] Deactivate the Containment Grid.

[SP] Go out the door that just opened, and across the elevated walkway. Drop down to the area below and go up to the time portal. Step in to it to be taken back in time.

[ ] Explore the Fongoid village in the past.

Walk forwards, and then a bit to the left to find a Fongoid standing next to a wooden bridge. Speak to him, and have a conversation with him. Learn about how to plant seeds, then cross the bridge.

[ ] Planet the vine seeds.

There will be enemies on this side of the bridge, so use your Constructo Pistol and/or Sonic Eruptor to kill them all. Then, use your wrench to grab a purple seed and throw it in the nearby soil. A plant will start to grow. There are 2 beds of soil, so throw a seed in each one. Then, take one seed back across the bridge and plant it in the bed of soil near the Fongoid.

[X] Planet the vine seeds.

There's another Fongoid standing near a rusted bolt crank at this end of this area. Talk to him, and after your conversation with him you'll need to get oil to be able to turn the bolt crank.

[ ] Oil the crane's winch in the past.
[ ] Return to the present.

After you've talked to the Fongoid, go back to the time portal and step in it to be returned to the present.

[X] Return to the present.

Unfortunately, you'll have company. This is a perfect time to get acquainted with your Negotiator. Use it to take down as many of the drones as you can, then start to take down the mech. Go back to the weapons vendor to get more ammo if you have to, then go back and destroy the mech with your Negotiator. There will also be a blue ship, so take that down with your Negotiator as well.

Follow the Fongoids once you've cleared the area. Jump on to the Vine Rail (did u see wat I did thar?) and jump over the red spikes. Switch to the rail on the right, jump over the 4 spikes and switch to the rail on the right. Jump over the next 3 red spikes and you'll end up on a platform.

[SP] Take out your Negotiator, move forward and kill all the drones, then pull the versa-fuse out to release the Fongoid prisoners. Pull out your OmniSoaker and go up to the blob of oil. Extract some oil, then continue anti-clockwise around the path until you see the crane and a rusted bolt crank. Go over to the bolt crank, fire the OmniSoaker at it, then turn the bolt crank to lower the bridge.

Walk over the bridge, and after the cutscene, walk over to the time portal and
go through to the past again. Go over to the other side of this area to where the rusted bolt crank is, fire the OmniSoaker at it, then turn the bolt crank to lower the bridge.

[X] Oil the crane's winch in the past.

Go across the bridge and in to the room.

[ ] Infiltrate the Tombli Outpost.

Go through the door in front of you.

[X] Infiltrate the Tombli Outpost.

Take out your Negotiator and destroy the drones, then destroy the mech and the extra drones that are spawned. Continue to use your Negotiator, going back to the weapons vendor for more ammo when you need it. Simply go back and forth, using your Negotiator to kill the enemies and refilling your ammo. Once all the enemies are dead, go through the door and up the elevator.

After the cutscenes, you'll be at your ship. You'll see another cutscene in your ship, then you'll automatically leave the planet. Head to Vorselon's Ship once again.
