Abe's Exoddus' 301st Mudokon

We couldn't save him, guys...

I'm sorry, buddy... Maybe next time.

You're horrible at this. Each and every one of us at OWF (except Job) has saved him.

Tell me your secrets. I heard if you hold the "wait" command through the whole cutscene, Abe will realize his blindness and open a bird portal for him...

There's a special cheat code you have to input during the cutscene to save him.

my dad works for owi mate he taught me this

The AE remake will get a 0/10 from me if we can't save him.

Ah. Skipping the cutscene is the only way to save him. It's like it never happened.

Fun Fact: There's a Bird Portal at the bottom of that pit...

Too bad Abe didn't chant...

In the AE remake there had better be a Mudokon corpse at the bottom of that shaft when you get there.

No. You have to press B and then the alternative cutscene will appear. It's like QTE.

I thought it was L1 R1 A, it was like chanting the portal open in the cut scene and then skipping it at the same time. I don't remember it's been a while since I played AE on the PS1.

L1 + R1 + A works too, but why bother trying the combination if simply "B" works.

For the record, you the player never actually see this Mudokon die, although Abe's cringing and statement of 'Help me rescue the rest of them' seems to indicate he died, it can be assumed he is ultimately saved since letting one mud die is sort of inappropriate for the story.

It would actually be pretty funny if JAW remade Exoddus with something like that actually in there. I wonder how long it would take anyone to find out on their own...

Haha that's awful. He's just lying there with a broken leg waiting for Abe to save him, while Abe just assumes he's dead and moves on. It's gonna be a long, long wait, buddy.

Yes those blind fuckers can mine bones with pick axes and not accidentally get the axe stuck in their foot?

Oh please!

I think this would be the first time where a quicktime event could be useful in a game. "Press X to save him!"

And exactly how would Abe save him? Just shout stop before he steps off the edge?

Maybe or he throughs a rock to stop him. Well I think none of this will actually happen. He will die just for the sake of entertainment. :/

If only Abe knew a word that made Mudokons wait.

What's the deal with pretty much removing fall damage anyway? I can understand it being on the easier difficulties, but even on hard?

Just have him waiting down there. And instead of Abe landing in a well when he jumps down, he can faceplant the floor next to the guy and proceed to say hello.

You know whatg else I'm bummed that they changed is that they removed/didnt replace the little jingle thay played when you died in AO and AE. My brother and I have been jokingly repeating that jingle whenever something bad happens ever since. Unfortunately, no New n Tasty version... *cue jingle*
