…continuing from my last post (oh and BTW thank you Schmuck-san).

You’ve decided to go through the middle door. Once you step through the darkness the other side loads and you are surrounded by tall gray, shadowed walls, statues in the background and the lack of ceiling gives a narrow view of the cloudy sky? You step forward and out of nowhere birds flutter about and culminate in a mass materializing a Mudarcher who immediately takes aim at Abe and Munch. Say “Hi” to the guardian and he quickly realizes who you are and apologizes. Abe says no problem, Munch nearly has a heart-attack, the warrior whistles at Abe and then disappears the same way he arrived.

Now in this small first room there is a closed door, some Odd looking chimes (not bells) and an info stone. The stone says the ringing of nature can open the door (or something hokey like that). Abe starts chanting but the desired effect does not take place. Instead some of the paintings depicted on the wall start glowing. The particular painting which glows shows a short creature (resembling Munch) with waves coming out of him. Switch to Munch and use his Sonar. The wave rings the chimes sending cool looking sound-waves across your screen and the door opens.

After some running, climbing, rolling, jumping, pulling, avoiding traps and all around exploration with puzzle solving you find a scraggly Native Mudokon. Say “Hello” and he’ll tell you he’s new here (a former Scrub) and got lost. Have him follow you. Along the way find some other Muds and make your way to the main room. In this room there are a circle of giant Mud statues surrounding a larger circle engraved into the floor and in the center is a psychedelic looking pad. Tell the Muds to get to work and they’ll all position themselves around the circle and chant. The middle portion glows a little bit. Have Abe & Munch stand there and a pillar of light engulfs our heroes ending this level.

My break is almost over and it’s a grueling ten minute drive back to my school, more on this later this evening…
