Chapter 7-3: Taking the Bait

Knack Guide Video 7-3

Head forward and beat up the orcs. You're so big that it will be easy. Past the bridge are two axe orcs and a robot. Punch the orcs out first and wait for the robot to attack then counter him. Continue on through the tunnel and after beating up another robot Knack will jump down to the street below.

Down here push forward and you'll come to a tank. This think fires three rockets in a row and has a blob cannon. The rockets are easy to dodge but the blob stuff is dangerous as it stays on the ground and the tank can easily move the cannon around after you. Run up to its right, get in two punches and keep circling the tank while punching it to be safe.

Pick up the tank afterward and head forward. You can jump up the roofs to the left and chuck the tank at the next two orc shooters. Keep pressing on and note that you can get up the roofs to the right for some relics. Kill the goblin you find and get ready for the tank. Once it shoots, jump next to it and get in some hits, then jump over it and finish it off (it is in a fairly dangerous position). Head forward to see a scene.

Ah good, now we can track them. Head on down and destroy the goblins near you so you can focus on the single tank. Take it out (this big space is nice) and two robots will come in from the right. Take them on one at a time. If you wish you can take out all the streetlights here but there isn't much sunstone to be had.

Head through the gate and you'll see two gun orcs on the right. Jump up there and take them out. Follow the path and take out the one on the left to. Down below is another tank. Note that you must destroy the building to the north-east to continue (there is another building south of that that you can destroy for relics - look at you, destroying homes for relics... you monster!).

Head in to another circular area. This tank is a bit more deadly than the other ones: it fires faster rockets (but only one) and can put up a shield and slowly charge at you. Destroy the enemies and focus on the tank. Stay on the move until it drops the shield then destroy it (it will likely take you two rounds of this). Destroy the building to the northwest to continue (you can destroy the one to the right as well, but again - monster...).

Continue on and watch out for the mines. Kill the shooters behind them and head up the left rooftops. Here destroy the orcs close to you and watch out for the one on the left firing gunk. Past that on the upper road you can destroy the building on the left for some relics. There are more mines here you need to trip. Past that is a sawblade robot and gunner. This narrow space makes it hard, but try to run over there and get next to them instead of playing chicken in the narrow arch area.

Past that are two tanks: one missile one and one blob one. If you stand to the left you can engage the missile one alone: be careful of the fast missiles and punch it when you can. Throw it at the other tank to destroy it. Note that you can destroy the building to the upper left for some relics (and to scare the heck out of some people).

Continue to the right and you'll see a scene.

Now, jump down below and onto the ledge with the sunstone. You need to scale this building. Parts of it will catch on fire and will hurt you if it hits you. Head up and then right while staying on the bottom part of the building. On the next part up remember you can press X while climbing to dash-climb. Head up and watch for parts of the building that turn on and off on fire. Recognize their locations and dash-climb past them.

One more big battle awaits us at the top. Three tanks (one missile one), two orc shooters and an axe orc. Drop down and take care of the three orcs while evading tank fire. Now go to one of the gunk / smaller tanks and use a Shockwave on it (you can find sun to the lower left if you need it). This will destroy it. From there you can throw it into the big tank and then you can throw the big tank into the last tank.

Head forward to end this part of the chapter.
