unlike the final stage in AO there isn't realy a shortcut or anything like that, you simply have to try to stay calm

I have a tip that always works for me. Don't think about it being timed. Imagine it as a normal level, and that you're determined not to make mistakes. You want to quicksave at certain points like when you get to a Mudokon or something, though.

Everything Oddjob said.
Plus: Quicksave often. Also, try saving the game, exiting out, and choose it from the level select screen instead. Why this helps: it takes the pressure of having a bunch of Mudokons saved already off your chest, and you do the level just for amusement. If you take the pressure off, playing it well comes almost naturally. Bottom line: be patient, practice.

Thus, at parts when you have to guide Mudokons through drills, you can tell them to wait before the drill, roll through the drill and stop at the side of the screen, tell the Mudokon to follow you, then quickly exit sideways. You wait a few seconds on the neighbouring screen and the Mudokon appeares, unharmed and whole. But I guess this trick is not new to some veteran players.

When I played the AE Ender level, I usually did a quicksave at the Detention center, then when I arrived to those drills, right after the moving platforms. But, like the others have said before me, be patient and stay calm.

...I guess this is why I didn't enjoy AO as much as AE. Lack of patience and the missing QuikSave function.

I would have to disagree with everyone on quiksaving. Because(this actually happened to me.) if you quiksave when you don't have enough time to complete the level, you will continuously die.

You can manually restart the level though.

This is true. However, when I did restart the level, instead of going back to the beginning of the finale, it took me back to where you had to be a glukkon to get to the finale. So I just said f*** it, quit the game, and started it up again.

Well, for me, the game ender is very easy. Maybe because I played the ender many (100?) times. Just keep trying and I am sure you will be as good as I am, maybe better than me

Congratulations! You'll be slightly more pleased if you complete it with all Mudokons though - free artwork and a message about Munch!
