Village - Chapter 1: This easy!
55 Coins/2 Secrets
You'll start in Pacha's village near him and his hut. There are many
characters in the game that when you go near them or if you face them
and hit your action button they will talk to you. Sometimes they will
give you hints on game controls and how to complete chapters. Start out
by turning around and walking down the hill behind the hut, you should
find four coins (4) Go and pick them up. Hey! Finder's keepers, the
villagers should be more careful with their cash. Walk around the other
side and find another coin (5) You may notice that your charge bar has
grown, every five coins you pick up it does that. Go around to the
front of the hut and find yet another (6) Also here is a health that
will never go dry, you may want to remember this incase your health
goes low. You can talk to Pacha if you like but he will just whine
about how you have to stay put and not take the villager's coins. If
you did the former this would be one boring game and too late for
latter. Go back over to where you started and you'll see yet another
coin (7) You could go down and talk to the old man but he'll just
ramble on and tell you about obvious things to do in other chapters.
Instead go down the hill over to Tipo and pick up another coin (8) as
you go. Talk to him and he will tell you how to bust open the red pot
there, do as you are told and find one more coin (9) Then follow Tipo
till he stops, he will talk about camera buttons then run off again.
This time don't follow him but go left down the hill. Down here you
will find a coin (10) and busting open the red pot will get you two
more (12) Be sure to hit the checkpoint column in case you fall off a
cliff and then continue on around the house, you will find two more
coins (14) Make your way back to the checkpoint and next to it, between
two cornstalks, you will find a cave in the side of the hill. This is
your first secret, go on inside. Here you will find several red pots,
bust them open and collect five more coins (19) You will also find
several hopping bunnies, I'm not sure what they are for but you can
fling them by punching or rolling over them. Once you are done here go
back through the cave to the checkpoint column, go right up the hill
and back to Tipo and he will tell you how to jump. Run past him and
towards the roof of the house below, jump as you reach the edge of the
hill and onto a hill next to the house to collect a coin (20) Then jump
onto the roof to collect two more coins (22) How these coins got up on
the roof I'll never know! Finally race to the end of the roof and jump
onto a hill with a hut and new checkpoint, collect the coin there (23)
as you land. Use the checkpoint here to save your position so you don't
have to do all this jumping again if you fall off a cliff. Pick up the
two coins (25) next to it and cross over the earth bridge, be careful
it is quite narrow, to collect one more coin (26) Continue forward
towards Chaca. She will tell you about the pad next to her with an
hourglass on it that will raise the steps only for a short time. Move
around the pad so you face the cliff up above on the other side, you
will see a doorway with a coin in front of it. Step on the pad and two
columns will raise, these are steps up to the doorway above. Quickly
jump on the first step, move forward and jump onto the second, move
forward again and jump onto the cliff picking up the coin (27) If you
don't make it in time don't worry, just go back and step on the pad to
try again. I would be more worried about falling off than making it to
the cliff, if you are low on health you will have to go all the way
back to Pacha's hut to replenish your health. Once you are on the top
of the cliff by the doorway you can use the health next to it if
needed, but this can be used only once. It is a good thing that the
villagers are as careless with their food as they are with their coins.
Once you go through the door you will find more cash and rabbits. Pick
up the three coins (30 - Over halfway there!) next to the checkpoint
and then use the column to save your spot, you can fling the bunnies if
you want. Now go back by the door and look left, you will see Tipo
dancing around on the other side of a gorge. How did he get ahead of
you? Race towards him, picking up the coin (31) on the edge of this
side. As you reach the edge jump onto the other side and go up to Tipo.
If you are low on health you'll have to go all the way back to Pacha's
hut, quite a trek. Tipo will tell you about opening village doors with
pots (jugs) Go to the left where the big white jug is and while facing
it click your action button, the jug will be flipped onto your back. Go
over to the pad that has the symbol of a jug on it and face it, click
on the action button again and the jug will be flipped onto the pad.
The door will now open, it will stay open as long as the jug is on the
pad. Move through the door to the next section, as you do be sure to
hit the checkpoint to save your place. You will come across Chaca, she
will tell you about charging. How do these people keep getting ahead of
you? Continue forward and you will be challenged by a kid on a bike,
you have to catch him before proceeding. You could race after him using
your charge button picking up the llama potions (which recharges your
charge bar) as you go or you could do it the easy way. Chase him down
the hill, around picking up three more coins (34) and back up towards
the red Kuzco door. He will get to a dead end and turn around, when he
comes back at you run at normal speed and hit your action button and
this will make you roll. If you make contact with him in a roll you'll
knock him off. I found this to be easier since you are not running as
fast as a charge you have more time to react. If you miss follow him
around the course once more and try hitting him when he turns around
again. Once he is knocked down he will give you a red idol, you can use
it to open the red Kuzco door but you may want to hit the checkpoint
before proceeding. Also, if you had any fatalities you can recharge
your health to the left of the door. This is an unlimited health so you
may want to remember where you found this. Now go through the door. You
will find two coins (36), pick them up and use the checkpoint found
here. Go down the hill and talk to Pacha. There has to be a shortcut
somewhere everyone is using. He will give you a hint on knocking down
the tree (the gorge behind it is too far to jump even using charge
speed) After he gets done talking follow him towards a small hut but go
as far as the charge potion, pick it up to recharge yourself. Now go
back to the tree, stand right next to it and line up on the red X. Hold
your charge button down, you won't go anywhere but the tree will topple
over creating a bridge over the gorge. Carefully walk across, the tree
is quite narrow, to the coin on the other side (37) You will be tempted
to go into the cave but don't, you will miss a secret. To the left on
the other side of the hill that has the cave you should see a doorway
in the side of the mountain with no apparent way of getting to, that is
you destination. Not even a charging jump will get you over there. What
you first have to do is put the white jug on the pad, this not only
open the door near you but will create a patch of ground floating in
the air before the door in the side of the mountain. Even if you remove
the jug the floating patch will remain but the door will close. You
should have full health. Line up on the patch with your look button
(your health status should line up on the center) Now run towards it,
just as you reach the edge of the cliff jump and you should make it
onto the patch. You could also do a charging jump to be safe just be
sure not to over shoot it. From the patch is a short jump to the
doorway, walk inside this secret. You will find more rabbits and red
pots, you can kick the rabbits and bust the pots open. You will find
health and five more coins (42) Go back through the doorway and you are
facing the floating patch again. You can try and jump back onto the
patch and then jump back onto the cliff which has the cave and doorway,
or you could just leap off the side of the cliff and end back at your
last checkpoint (since you have all your health you can spare one) If
you do this when you are back at the checkpoint turn around, go through
the door back to the kid on the bike and use the unlimited health to
heal yourself. Now go back through the door, down the hill and across
the tree. Now go into the cave and talk to Chaca, she will tell you
about wampies. Looking around you will see coins floating in mid air
along with a wampy, all too high to jump and grab. Go to the coin which
is lowest to the ground, there will be a patch of ground which you can
jump onto. Jump onto it and grab the coin (43) As soon as you do
another patch will appear below the next lowest coin, jump over to it
and grab the coin (44) When you land another patch will appear under
the next coin. Continue jumping from new patch to patch until you have
collected three more coins (47) Jump onto the last patch to collect
your wampy. Once done just jump to the ground, you won't get hurt, and
walk back through the door. Put the white jug on the pad if you haven't
already and go through the open door. Talk to Tipo and he will tell you
about the look button, you can see the red Kuzco idol onto of the
column well out of reach. Go down the hill towards the right and pick
up two more coins (49) Continue on down and punch the red pot to get
two more coins (51) Cut to the left past the tall column and you will
find three white jugs. Use these to put on the three pads around the
column, as you do this to each pad the column with the idol will lower.
Once it is all the way down it will also drop four coins (55 - That's
all of them!) on each side of the remains of the column, be sure to
pick them up. Jump up and grab the idol. Go back up towards Tipo, as
you do head for the red Kuzco door. Use your idol to open it. Race
through it and that is it! Your first chapter is completed. Since you
found all the coins and the wampy be sure to check out the bonus
picture on the map.
Village - Chapter 2: Okay, this is getting a little harder but is still
easy.
55 Coins/1 Secret
You're still in Pacha's village. You'll start on a hillside with the
only way is up. Head up the hill and to the right towards the man
(artist), pick up the four coins (4) as you go. He will tell you about
his statues and then he will run away. You will find Tipo and Chaca
here, you will also find a rabbit you can fling. He will tell you how
to smash the tall statues, she will tell you how to smash the short
ones. Start destroying the statues, after three the artist will open
the door for you. But since you'll find a coin in each (8) destroy all
four. To have some fun try destroying the short ones the same way you
were told to destroy the tall ones. Once you are done go through the
door. You'll come across two coins (10) right away and another bunny,
pick up the coins and fling the bunny. Stop as soon as you get the
second coin, if you go any further the bugs might get you. Here is the
first type of enemy you will run across. You'll lose part of your
health if a bug touches you. They are slow moving and always travel in
the same pattern so you could easily get around them to continue but
then you'd miss two coins. Most bugs when you kill them will give you a
coin. There are two ways of killing bugs. 1) Let them touch you but
then you loose part of your health. 2) Be in a roll when you touch
them, this way you don't loose anything. After you dispatch both bugs
pick up their coins (12) And why do bugs need coins? Now continue on to
Tipo, he will tell you how to open the door on the horizon. Before you
do that though I'd pick up the llama potion and all four coins (16)
between here and the door. You could probably do it while making a dash
for the door once you opened it but if you miss a coin you would have
to stop and go back, once you go through the door you cannot return.
Now step on the hourglass pad and use you charge button to make a mad
dash for the door, be sure not to fall off a cliff. If you don't make
it in time no sweat, just go back and try again. Once you make it
through hit the checkpoint so you don't have to do this all over again
if you die. You will see two coins (18), go and pick them up but go no
further since there is another nasty bug hoping around ahead. You could
probably sneak around him and get the white jug on the other side but
you'd miss getting his coin. With this bug you have an additional way
of doing him in, charging. Once he is gone pick up his coin (19) If you
step on the pad here you will see a door open, but as soon as you race
towards it closes. Not even at charge speed allows you to get past it,
you will have to get the white jug and put it on the pad. But before
doing that go past the jug and smash the red pot by the hut, you will
find two more coins (21) in it. Go back and get the jug and put it on
the pad, the door will open for you. Go through it. You'll come across
Chaca, she will tell you how to spit. You will see some grapes on a
hill, ignore these for now. Instead go around the hill and pick up all
the grapes you find then come back around. Now go up the hill and pick
up all the grapes you can see, you will end up with 25. You don't have
to pick all these up since when you get below five grapes in your
inventory these grapes magically appear and can be picked up again, you
can never run out. It is just nice not to have to run back and get some
if you run out. Once you get to the top of the hill the kid on the bike
from chapter one will challenge you again. But this time he is on a
ridge and out of reach, you can't ram him. You will have to spit some
grapes at him and hit him three times, you can do the same to the
rabbit but all this will do is stun him. If you use your look button
you will notice you have a target site, you will always have this when
you have grapes. Aim using the look controls so the red box is just
ahead of the kid and then press your action button, if you hit him he
will jump into the air momentarily. Keep firing until you hit him three
times, get more grapes if you need to. After the third hit he will fall
off and give you a red Kuzco idol, pick it up and moves back down the
hill. Head towards the red door to the right, brush against the
checkpoint column as you go. Use the idol to open the door and go on
through. You will find lots of stuff here: Coins, bunnies, llama
potions and even a health. First things first, go to the left and pick
up the health if you have been hurt. Pick up the llama potion and coin
(22) as you go. Fling the bunny if you like. Now go back towards the
door and to the left, pick up two more coins (24) and hit the
checkpoint. STOP!!! To the right are two more bugs. You can roll and
nail them or use the charge, pick up their coins (26) and the four
others in the immediate area (30 - Over halfway there!) Continue
forward till the path turns right, you'll see another bug. But before
you go after him go through the cave to the left, you are in another
secret. You'll find a pot here and some health. Bust the pot open to
pick up five more coins (35) and pick up the healths if you need them.
Now exit out the same way you came in. Go after the bug as you please,
be sure to pick up his coin (36) In this area you will find another
hourglass pad and a corresponding door on the other side, ignore these
for now. Pick up all four coins (40) on the way to the closed door, you
can fling the bunny if you wish. Once you reach the door head away from
it to the edge of the cliff, you will see another coin below. Use your
look button to line up on the platform with the coin and jump forward.
You should land directly on the coin (41) To get out go to the far edge
of the platform and do another forward jump, you should be near the pad
now. Go over it and align yourself so the pad is between you and the
path to the far door (around the platform where you picked up the coin)
Check your health, if it is low you may want to go back to the secret
and pick up some health because once you go through the door you can't
return. When you are ready use your charge button to race over the pad
that will open the door, you should pick up the llama potion as you
go,. Race down the path and through the open door. If you don't make it
in time you can go back and try again. In this next area you will find
Tipo and a bunny (you know what to do) He will warn you about the guard
in the next room and tell you how to fight guards, be sure to hit the
checkpoint since guards can be pretty tough. Before you try and tackle
the guard you may want to practice your karate kicks. Go through the
cave. Head left until you are up against your wall, guards won't attack
unless they see you. Ignore all the goodies in this room for now.
Slowly work your way to the right. You can look around the corner by
rotating the camera view to the right. There are two way of attacking a
guard: 1) Karate kick as Tipo explained. 2) If the guard has his back
to you and doesn't know you are there you can charge him. Wait for your
chance, listening to his footsteps will tip you off if he sees you. If
they become faster either RUN out of the room (the guard will be back
away from you when you reenter) or prepare to take him head on. But
beware: Guards can use up all of your health in a matter of seconds.
Once he is dispatched pick up the copper coin he has dropped, it is
worth five (46)  Jump up the hilly steps to the left and pick up the
wampy, you're not out of danger yet. Now pick up the eight coins (54)
in the room. Now exit the way you came in. Head left and go to the end
of the path, there will be a coin on a platform before you. Just do a
standard jump and pick it up (55 - That's all of them!) Turn to the
left and jump to the platform below. Face the cliff ahead of you, to
reach it you will have to do a running jump. Now go over to Chaca, she
will tell you about how to stun a bug. Go left, pick up the grapes and
then go to the edge of the cliff. You will see a bug jumping between
three columns. On the other side is a doorway and some health. You
could use your grapes to stun the bug and then jump onto the column on
the left and then jump to the cliff on the other side before the bug
wakes up, but if you have perfected your running jump all you have to
do is wait till the bug is on the column furthest from you and do a
running jump to the nearest column and when you are still running jump
onto the cliff with the health. Either way there is no need to kill the
bug since he doesn't have any coins. Once on the other side pick up the
health if you need it, remember where this one is since this health can
never dry up. Now go through the doorway. Here you will find some
grapes, a red idol and more bugs. Before you do anything use the
checkpoint before you. Now you can work on getting the idol. There are
several ways to tackle this: You could do a series of running jumps
avoiding bugs, pick up the idol, more running jumps and get the red
door. You could also play it safe and move one column at a time first
stunning a bug and moving on. The neat thing here is that there are
only three bugs and you should have full health so even if they all got
you still would have health left, just be sure not to fall off a cliff
or platform. But even if you do just go back the way you came and use
the unlimited health. Once the door is open walk on through and that's
it! Your second chapter is done. Since you found all the coins and the
wampy be sure to check out the bonus picture on the map.
Village - Chapter 3: Okay, this isn't easy any more.
55 Coins/2 Secrets
This is a difficult chapter since there isn't any health. You will
start off still in Pacha's village facing some white jugs and pads,
problem is there are four pads and only two jugs. Because of this you
can only open one door at a time (the doors here need two jugs to be
opened) The pads you need to cover is the one to the far left and the
one that is furthest from you, do that now. Now go left from your
starting position up the steps to the cliff where the old man is
walking around, pick up the coin (1) as you go. You can talk to the man
if you like but he will pretty much say the same thing the man on the
first chapter did. You will find an open door here that was opened when
you placed the two jugs down, go through it. You will find three red
pots, bust them open and collect the five coins (6) Now continue on the
way you were going and into the cave, the first secret. This is
different than the other secrets, rather than just walking in and
grabbing the goods you have to work for it. You have to hit all the
bunnies here before time runs out. You could run up to them one at a
time and punch them but there is a faster easier way, rolling over
them. The advantage of rolling is that you can still steer while
tumbling, so if there is a group of them you can take them out with one
roll. Just be careful, some of the rabbits like hanging around the
edge. For these you can roll parallel with the edge or use the punch
option. Once you hit all the bunnies you will get sixteen coins (22 -
Boom baby!) If time runs out you will be placed back outside, you can
go back into the cave and try again. After picking up the very last
coin you will automatically be returned to the cave entrance but now
the cave is gone. Retrace your steps back down to the white jugs, pick
them up and place them on the other two pads. A new door to the left
will open, head through it. Watch out, there are three bugs here.
Dispatch them by either rolling and charging over them, there are
plenty of llama potions here. Be sure to pick up the coins (25) they
leave behind. Continue on around the path until you find a pad, ignore
this for now. To the right of it will be a head of a statue on its
side, you need to get on the top of it. This will take a little
practice since you can just barely clear the top. Walk right up to it
and jump onto the low end and stop. Now do a short jump to the high
end, since you can control your direction while you are in midair just
tap the stick back. Now turn to the right, you will have to do a
standard jump onto the body of the broken statue picking up a coin as
you go (26) Next turn left and jump onto the pillar of earth, picking
up another coin (27) Jump one more time forward onto the cliff and pick
up yet another coin (28 - Over halfway there!) Now go forward to the
opposite edge, turn left and go almost to the end. There you will see
some steps leading down, jump onto the top one. Looking to the right
you will see a row of four coins (32) hanging in midair, if you jump
towards them just right you will get them all. If not when you land
just go under each of them and jump up to them. Once that is done head
away from the steps and to the right you will find another cave,
venture inside this secret. Again you will have to work for what is
inside, this time you will have to bust the pot with the money before
time runs out. Just like the bunnies you can do this two ways. Run up
to each and punch them one at a time or do running rolls steering as
you go breaking multiple pots on the same move. If you find the right
pot in time you will be rewarded with sixteen coins (48 - Booya!) Like
the first secret if time runs out you can just try it again. Once you
are successful and collect all the loot, you are outside again. Head
left, back up the steps and make your way down to the pad by the broken
statue. This is where it gets interesting, once you step on the pad a
potion will appear back at the white jugs. You have to run back down
the path, through the open door and hit the vial before time runs out.
All the way back you'll have to use your charge button in order to get
there in time but there are llama potion along the way to help keep
your speed up. Though if you have picked up all the coins so far you
can just make it without recharging, but if you do you will have almost
no charge for the last part of the chapter. If you don't make it you
can always go back and try it again. But be warned, once you get the
potion you can never return back to this section. Once you are
successful you are turned into a turtle and automatically go through
the small door. Inside you will find Kronk, go up to him since there is
no avoiding it. Fortunately, he doesn't recognize you in turtle form.
He will challenge you to a race, the winner get a red idol. This is
where it gets really interesting, the game play totally changes. You
will be placed on your back and slide down the racecourse that is all
down hill, the only control is with the joystick/cursor buttons.
Forward makes you go faster and you can turn left and right to steer.
Be warned, the reaction time is reduced since you are sliding and not
running. Keep the controls forward as much as possible otherwise you
will lose the race, if you do Kronk will just challenge you to another
race. The nice thing here is if you fall off a cliff you won't loose
any health so you can keep on playing over and over until you win. You
may want to loose the race on purpose a few times because Kuzco has a
couple really funny lines. If you want to see him have a tantrum stay
behind Kronk so you will lose, once you cross the finish line he will
throw a fit. So if you are set lets begin. Follow the arrows signs down
the hill, when you cross the first bridge you will find two coins (50)
If you by some change miss these abort the race, if you win you will
never be able to get these. Continue following the arrows. When you
cross under a clothesline and between two huts you will find a short
cut in the form of a bridge on the left, use it as Kronk goes the long
way around. Continue to follow the arrows. As you approach a head of a
statue be sure you fly over the center of it since the landing area
below is very narrow. Follow the arrows to the finish line and win the
race. If you see any other coins on the way (other than the two on the
bridge) and miss them don't worry, you can go back after you win and
pick them up. Once you win and Kronk drops the potion go get it, you're
a llama again and normal game play is restored. Now back track up the
course and pickup any coins (55 - That's all of them!) you missed and
your wampy. Now head back to the finishing line, go to the left up the
grassy steps and onto the cliff with the red Kuzco door. Use your idol
Kronk gave you to open it. Walk on through and that's it! Your third
chapter is done. Since you found all the coins and the wampy be sure to
check out the bonus picture on the map.
Village - Chapter 4: The PEN is mightier than the Pacha!
55 Coins/2 Secrets
This is a toughie since there are no healths. You're on the very edge
of Pacha's village now. Start out by doing a 180 and going into the
cave, this is the first secret. This is another bop the bunnies
activity. Punch or roll over all the bunnies before time runs out. If
you don't make it you will be placed outside, you can go back in and
try again. If you are successful you will get sixteen coins (16 - Oh
yeah!) and also be placed outside but the cave will disappear. Go over
to Chaca and learn how to get out of the village. Now walk over to
Pacha and listen to him whine, then he will walk away. The object is to
follow him but first go left around the llama pen and pick up the
copper coin (21) Now start to follow Pacha but stay far behind, if you
lose sight of him don't worry he will wait for you to catch up. But if
you get too close he'll throw you in the nearest llama pen, all you'll
have to do is jump out and continue where you left off. As you follow
Pacha bust the first red pot you find and pick up the coin (22)
Continue around the next corner but watch out, there is a bug there.
Roll over or charge him and take his coin (23) Continue around the hut
and follow Pacha. There is another bug, dispatch him as you please and
take its coin (24) Now pick up the two coins (26) to the left and one
to the right (27) After Pacha goes around the hill continue forward and
take the coin to the left (28 - Over halfway there!) Continue around
the hill slowly as you continue to follow Pacha. Pass the llama pen and
you'll find another bug, take care of him and grab his loot (29) Also
smash the red pots he was guarding and grab three coins (32) Continue
around the next hut and after Pacha. You'll see yet another bug, take
care of it and take his loot (33) Now smash the three red pots it was
guarding and take the three coins (36) Continue to go in the direction
of Pacha. At this point he should disappear, just ahead is a doorway.
Don't go there just yet. Pick up the llama potion and turn left, on the
other side of the last hut you will find a copper coin (41), take it.
Now turn around and go right of the doorway, there is a secret cave
here. Enter it. Inside you'll find twelve coins (53 - Uh huh! Uh huh!
Uh huh!), a wampy and bugs. Dispatch the bugs before going after the
cash, and then take theirs (55 - That's all of them!) Now pick up what
you missed and exit the way you came in. Now you can walk through the
doorway, you may want to pick up the llama potion if you need charging.
Here you will find Yzma, she is ready to start what she finished by
killing you! She will start hurtling exploding potions at you, if they
hit you will lose some health. She's too high up to attack and the exit
out of the village is closed. What is a llama to do? Well, as you may
have noticed, there are four pads here. There are no jugs to put on
them and running over them does nothing, Yzma has to active them for
you. To have this happen you have to run onto one of the pads and stop.
As soon as she throws a potion at you race off it otherwise it will hit
you, when her potion explodes on the pad it will activate it. Now do
the same with the three other pads. To avoid getting hit as you race
between the pads as soon as Yzma tosses a potion at you change
