[DJR1] Introduction
*******************************************************************************
Death Jr: Root of Evil is a platformer that came out for the Wii. You control
Death Jr., Pandora, or team up with a friend and play both as you battle your
way through 19 levels (16 episodes and 3 boss challenges).
[DJR1A] Controls
*******************************************************************************
A: Jump
B: Melee Attack (Scythe for Death Jr., Bone Whip for Pandora)
Z: Hold Z and press B to use your Ranged Attack (Twin Guns for Death Jr.,
Tommy Gun for Pandora at first - gain new weapons later).
C: Center the camera behind you.
-/+: Change the camera angle (-: looks left; +: looks right)
1: Option Screen
2: Status HUD
(d-pad): Switch between your ranged weapons.
Hover Jump: Press and Hold A to jump and slowly descend.
Ledge Grab: Jump (A) and Press B near the edge to lift yourself up. You will
need to combine this with the hover jump in later levels.
Zip Line: Jump (A) and Press B near a zip line to ride along it. (Rope Slide)
Rafter Transfer: Jump and hold A (or press B) to latch onto rafters that will
automatically jump after one swing.
Wall Jump: Jump on the side of a wall to jump again. Continue jumping from
wall to wall to get to the upper level (only certain areas-called the Chimney
Climb).
[DJR1B] Melee Attacks
*******************************************************************************
The basic melee attack is the scythe for Death Jr. and the bone whip for
Pandora. You can unlock special moves for your melee attacks by collecting
orbs: yellow orb (1), orange orb(10), yellow pod(50 yellow orbs). You will
easily gain all of the melee attacks by regularly playing through the game;
however, if you want to unlock them earlier, you can replay any episode you
have completed and the orbs you gain are cumulative.
There are 5 different special melee attacks you can earn for each Death Jr.
and Pandora (although titled differently, Death Jr. and Pandoras attacks are
basically the same). A detailed list of the special melee attacks is found
in the Addendum.
[DJR1C] Weapons
*******************************************************************************
Throughout the game, you will pick up parts to make new weapons for yourself.
These offer a ranged or specialized attack to complement your melee attacks.
A more detailed list of the weapons, their parts and their locations is found
in the Addendum.
Death Jr

Twin Pistols (default)
Flaming TP Launcher
c4 Hamsters

Pandora
-------
Tommy Gun (default)
Freeze Gun
Shiny Sparklies

Proximity Gas Mine
[DJR1D] Modes
*******************************************************************************
The Character select screen functions as 3 slave slots. You can choose to play
as Death Jr., Pandora, or you can play multiplayer with a friend. You can
also replay the cut-scenes from the game after you have beaten it once.
*Death Jr
*Pandora
*Multiplayer: Play with a friend as both Death Jr. and Pandora.
*Movies: Replay cut-scenes from the game, storyboards, etc.. Unlocked by
beating the game once.
[DJR1E] Difficulty Modes
*******************************************************************************
There are four difficulty modes:
Lively  (Easy)
Healthy (Normal)
Sickly  (Hard)
Deathly (Very Hard): Unlocked by beating the game once on any difficulty.
No matter what difficulty is chosen, the game uses the same number of enemies.
The major difference between the difficulty modes are that enemies are faster/
more aggressive, have more health and do more damage. In the lower difficulty
modes, you will never really have to worry about running out of ammo whereas
in deathly mode there are several sections where you will have to be smart
with your ammo usage. You do not receive anything for beating the game in
Deathly Mode.
[DJR2] Walkthrough (Normal Mode)
*******************************************************************************
Tips
----
Although there are some obscure paths, for the most part this is a very linear
game. Collect the orbs in each episode to gain special melee attacks: yellow
orbs(1), orange orbs(10), yellow pods(50). There are many checkpoints in each
episode. If you die, you will restart at the last checkpoint (you will not
lose orbs you collected). You can go back and replay any episode that you
have completed (in case you missed a weapon part).
Glowing Pumpkins provide you with more health. Ammo boxes provide you with
more ammo. During Mini-Boss fights at end of the level/Boss Challenges, the
glowing pumpkins and ammo boxes will reappear after a set amount of time.
Death Jr.'s best all-purpose weapon is the TP Launcher.
Pandora's best all-purpose weapon is the Shiny Sparklies.
Enemies can be separated into several groups: melee attacker, ranged attacker,
melee and ranged attacker, tower (stationary unit with a ranged attack), and
explosive (will explode once it gets near you or hits you). One enemy, Pod
Plant, spawns other enemies. Very few enemies use both a melee and ranged
attack; however, those that do are usually the more powerful enemies.
*Destroy Towers/Pod Plants first from far away (use the rocket launcher or
other ranged explosives for the Pod Plants; most of the towers can be easily
destroyed with your default guns).
*Explosive enemies should be destroyed using your guns (default is fine; later
in the game the freeze gun/shiny sparklies also work well).
*The weakest enemies show up in the greatest number - the shotgun deals with
them quickly.
[DJR2A] Episode 01: Morning Woods
*******************************************************************************
Episode Enemies
---------------
Mushroom Men
Plant Bats
This is a tutorial level where the game will explain the controls as you
encounter a need to use them. Start by just following the path and collecting
yellow orbs (when you get near they will be drawn towards you). Your first
encounter will be 4 Mushroom Men. Use your melee attacks to defeat them. You
will be in an open area with a ledge on your left.
First, go to your right and follow the path to a Yellow Pod. Destroy the
Yellow Pod to get 50 yellow orbs. Then go back and jump on the ledge to your
left, jump on the tree stump and jump to your left to get to your first
checkpoint. Whenever you die, you go back to the last checkpoint. You lose
anything you have collected between the checkpoint and your death.
Checkpoint 1
------------
You will be instructed to kill all of the mushrooms on the next platform with
your ranged weapon. Use the hover jump (continue to hold A) to cross the gaps.
Your ranged weapon will automatically be empty to instruct you on breaking the
crates to find more ammo. Use your ranged weapon to dispatch the 6 plant bats.
When you jump towards a ledge/platform/etc. but you are not high enough, use
a Ledge Grab (press B near the edge to lift yourself up).
Checkpoint 2
------------
As soon as you get to the checkpoint, turn around and use the ledge grab to
get up onto the ledge to your left (it is covered in moss). Hover jump across
the gap to get to 3 yellow pods. If you jump on the tree stump, you can hover
jump around to the hollow part of the tree for a fourth yellow pod. Go back
to the checkpoint to continue until you see a shining white object. That is a
portal. Enter it/Touch it to end the episode.
[DJRB] Episode 02: The Root of Evil
*******************************************************************************
Follow the path until you come to a bunch of roots blocking your path. To
destroy the roots, you will have to defeat 10 enemies (mushrooms). Enemies
will come from behind you so keep moving and use the -/+ to rotate the camera
in order to see them following you and judge when to counter-attack. Once you
have finished, the root barrier will descend, follow the path until you come
to a bridge.
: If the Mushroom Men are giving you trouble, you can Ledge Grab onto
some rocks near the path to give yourself a breather.
It does not matter whether you cross the bridge or descend to the water and
go left. There are yellow pods underneath the bridge and in the cave to the
left. Note: If you have been collecting all of the yellow orbs/destroying
all of the yellow pods, you should get your first special melee attack around
here. Moving forward, you will have to defeat 5 flying plant creatures to
destroy the next barrier. It is easier to use your gun to defeat them than to
try to melee attack them.
Checkpoint 1
------------
After a cut-scene, you will have to defeat 10 monsters (6 Mushroom Men and 4
flying plant creatures) to destroy the root barrier. My advice is to
immediately backtrack. The Mushroom Men will follow you and will be easy to
pick off. Then use your guns to take out the flying plant creatures.
Checkpoint 2
------------
You will come to a bridge on your left and a path down into a valley. There
are 4 yellow pods in the valley. Cross the bridge and walk to the glowing
spot to end this episode.
[DJR2C] Episode 03: Grave Mistake
*******************************************************************************
After defeating 3 Mushroom Men at the start you will come to a point where you
can go left down a sloping path (to face 5 Mushroom Men and 2 flying plant
creatures). Instead of following the path, you can also use a Ledge Grab to
climb up and hover jump on top of the Trailer (where an additional 4 Mushroom
Men will be). Use the Zip Line to cross the gap and hit the Blue Robot to open
the barrier.
Checkpoint 1
------------
You will be in a toy graveyard with a large tree in the middle. Defeat 6
Zombie Bears. There will be a large pit to your left and a path ahead of you.
You can hover jump onto a floating Jack-in-the-Box to cross the ravine or you
can follow the path ahead and use Zip Lines to end up on the other side (but
on top of the mountain). The Zip line route has multiple yellow pods. Either
way, you will have to defeat 10 Zombie Bears.
You can stay on the Jack-in-the-Box or on top of the mountain and use
your guns to defeat the Zombie Bears (or at least thin them out until you feel
comfortable melee attacking them).
Checkpoint 2
------------
In the middle of the next area will be your first weapon part #Part 3.1# (the
actual part will be different depending upon whether you are using Death Jr.
or Pandora). After dispatching many Zombie Bears and continuing, you will
encounter a new enemy - 4 Rolling Skulls. This type of enemy will explode on
you or when it is defeated so it is best to destroy them with your guns. At
the end of the path, hit the Blue Robot to lower the barrier.
Note: At around this point, if you have been collecting all of the yellow orbs
you should get your second special melee attack.
Checkpoint 3
------------
After facing 3 Zombie Rabbits (they throw bombs), you will get your second
weapon part #Part 3.2# in the middle of the area in a corner. Continue to
defeat 4 Zombie Rabbits and 2 Zombie Bears until you come to an area with 4
Blue Robots near 4 Toy Blocks. The puzzle is to hit each blue robot until each
corresponding toy block shows a skeleton key. Once all 4 toy blocks display
skeleton keys, the barrier will lower and you can continue.
IF you get all of the blocks to display Death Jr., you will be rewarded
with a bunch of yellow orbs so do this before you lower the barrier.
Checkpoint 4
------------
Mini-Boss: Spider-Doll. His basic attack is to charge at you (a part of him
will glow red as he charges). You can use your second special melee attack
to great effect here as it will knock him down. Once he is knocked down do not
charge in to get close to him as he will perform a spin attack as he gets up.
Especially helpful in harder difficulties, you can use the Ledge Grab
to climb onto the giant toy blocks on the right-hand side of the area. From
here you are safe to plan your next attack or shoot him with a ranged attack.
Upon his death, the barrier will descend and there will be 3 Zombie Bunnies
on the toy block ledges to your left. Climb them to get to the next area.
Checkpoint 5
------------
Jump onto the elevator. If you look behind you at the apex of the elevator,
you can hover jump across to get a weapon box; otherwise, just continue. Use
the Zip Line on your right to get next to the Blue Robot. Hit him to destroy
the barrier. Defeat 5 Zombie Bunnies and jump on the moving platforms to
cross.
Checkpoint 6
------------
Jump onto the first 2 levitating platforms and then onto the ledge to your
left. Walk forward and jump onto the third and fourth levitating platforms.
You can jump across another levitating platform to get a yellow pod on the
other side, but the main path is to turn left and jump across 2 more
levitating platforms to get to the cave above the waterfall.
Checkpoint 7
------------
Rubber Duckies will float down the stream. It is simple (and advisable) to
jump around and avoid them as they will explode when you are in their
proximity. In the next cave will be a Spider Doll who will come to attack you
and 2 Clown Statues on the opposite side. It is best to use your guns to
destroy the Clown Statues first and then fight the Spider Doll the same way
you did before. After his death will be another Spider Doll. Drop down into
the hole created by destroying the Clown Statues to continue.
If the Spider Dolls fall into the hole created by destroying the Clown
Statues, they will automatically die. On harder difficulties, it is advisable
to just run around the hole and lure them to their death.
Checkpoint 8
------------
In this tunnel will be 4 waves of 2 Zombie Bears each and a path on your right
that leads up out of the tunnel. Jump up the ledges and use the Zip Line to
cross to the next area. Jump down.
Checkpoint 9
------------
Mini-Boss: Baby Burp-Up Doll Head. At the other side, the Baby Burp-Up Doll
Head will shoot lasers. At first, their is a barrier that offers some
protection but it will be destroyed. At the same time, little baby burp-up
dolls will charge at you and explode when they get near you. The best course
of action is to run as quickly as you can (jumping/avoiding the little dolls)
and go down into the small valley beneath the Baby Burp-Up Doll Head and
attack it from underneath (as it cannot hit you with its lasers, you only have
to avoid the little dolls).
You can stand directly underneath the Baby Burp-Up Doll Head and
destroy it rather quickly with your second special melee attack. On harder
difficulties, you may have to stop your attacks to get more health (there are
3 glowing pumpkins in the valley).
After defeating the mini-boss, collect #Part 3.3# and cross the platforms to
end the episode.
[DJR2D] Episode 04: Lost Toys
*******************************************************************************
Jump across the rafters to cross the gap (either hover jump to automatically
latch onto any rafters or press B to hook onto a rafter - you will jump off of
the rafter immediately after one full swing so either hold A to hover jump or
be prepared to press B again to swing on the next rafter). If you fall into
the gap, Baby Dolls will appear to attack you. Just retrace your steps to try
again.
Once you cross the gap, defeat 2 Baby Dolls and jump across the moving
platforms to the next area. 6 Baby Dolls will attack you. Travel towards the
bridge where there will be 3 Baby Dolls and 2 Zombie Rabbits. Hit the lever
near the railroad tracks to cause the mine cart to move and then shoot the
mine cart when it nears the rock barrier to destroy it.
Checkpoint 1
------------
Hit the lever and shoot the moving mine cart in mid-air when it launches near
the stalagtite. The explosion will cause the stalagtite to drop and become a
platform for you to jump on. Repeat this for another stalagtite and then look
right towards the wall to see #Part 4.1# on a platform that you can hover jump
to obtain it.
Rafter Transfer to the other side where 2 Zombie Rabbits will
appear. Walk along the path to confront 3 Baby Dolls, 3 Zombie Bears, and 2
more Zombie Rabbits. Shoot the mine cart as it passes the Keep Out sign to
destroy the barrier to the mine entrance.
Checkpoint 2
------------
Proceed into the tunnels to face 2 Zombie Bears and 3 Baby Dolls. An avalanche
will block your way forward. Turn and hit the Wheel (press B) to stop the
steam vent to open a new path. Turn right along the tracks while battling 4
Zombie Bears until you get to an open area with 1 Baby Doll and 3 Zombie
Rabbits. Jump onto a platform that moves out of the wall to get onto the ledge
and turn the Wheel to stop the steam blocking your next path.
Jump onto the moving platform and turn around to see another platform that
moves in and out of the wall above you. As it is coming out, jump and perform
a Ledge Grab to safely land on the platform and jump into the cave above. Turn
the Wheel to stop the steam in the next area. Jump back down to the first
moving platform to get to the next area. Note: The liquid below the first
moving plaftorm means instant death so be careful with your jumps.
Fight 2 Zombie Bears, 2 Zombie Rabbits, 2 Clown Statues, and 2 Baby Dolls.
Turn off the steam by turning the Wheel and head through the tunnel to get
#Part 4.2#. Shoot the mine cart to blow up the next barrier.
Checkpoint 3
------------
2 Army Men will rush at you. In the next area, defeat 3 Army Men and 2 Bionic
Men to open the barrier. In the next area, avoid ant hills - they shoot
exploding mines straight up when you get too close. At the end will be 6 Army
Men and a gap. Cross the gap by using your Rafter Transfer technique and
defeat 3 Army Men on the other side. Go towards the Jack-in-the-Box and
destroy the Machine Gun Tower from afar using your ranged weapons like the TP
Launcher.
Defeat 6 Army Men and jump on the ledges to your left to get #Part 4.3#. Ahead
will be 5 Army Men and 2 Machine Gun Towers (TP Launcher*). At the 2nd tower,
turn around and enter the tunnel with 6 Zombie Bears. Hit the Blue Robot at
the end to destroy the barrier to move onwards.
Checkpoint 4
------------
Avoid the Ant hills while attacking 3 Bionic Men. Cross the bridge for another
Robot Puzzle. Hit the Blue Robots to change the Big Toy Blocks. Change them
all to the Death Jr. icon to get many yellow orbs and then change them all to
the skeleton key to create a path of blocks. Ledge Grab to climb the blocks
and you will enter a Cage Match.
Checkpoint 5
------------
Mini-Boss: El Masked Hombre. He basically has a strong melee attack (he spins
around with his arms strethed out) and you want to avoid the glowing marks on
the ground that he makes. Keep moving out of his range and attack with your
guns: Death Jr.'s TP Launcher is very good; with Pandora, use your Freeze Gun
and then hit him twice with your 720 Incontinent Grandma melee attack. Rinse
and repeat to defeat him. Remember, there are 2 glowing pumpkins in the cage
with you (restore health) and they regenerate.
After defeating El Masked Hombre, cross the bridge to get #Part 4.4# and exit
the episode.
[DJR2E] Boss Challenge: Billy Galaxy
*******************************************************************************
Stage Layout: You start in a toy arena. There are 2 paths up onto a ledge that
completely surrounds the arena. There is a health/ammo restore location on
one side, the other health restore is on the other side (all on ground floor).
Stage 1: Billy Galaxy will move towards you destroying all of the obstacles in
his way. His left arm is a sword which he will use when you are close (esp. if
you are on the upper ledge and close to him). His right arm alternates among
machine guns, mine launcher, and freedom rockets.
At the start, run past Billy Galaxy and up the path to the upper ledge that
juts into the arena (the other path doesn't jut into the arena). Attack him
with Rocket Launchers while moving to avoid machine gun attack. When he uses
the mine launcher just constantly move along the upper path. When he uses the
freedom rockets, just jump around to avoid them. If you get low on rockets,
drop down to get the ammo box. I usually just aim for his torso when he is
moving as it is easier to hit.
Stage 2: Once his health is almost depleted, he will shoot a purple laser grid
that constantly depletes your health. The best way to avoid it is to go down
into the arena (lower level) and get close to his treads. Just keep moving
around him, shooting rockets and restore health/ammo.
Once you have defeated him, get #Part BG# and exit the episode.
On easier difficulties, his purple lasers will not cause you too much
trouble before you defeat him. On Deathly Mode, you will need to avoid them.
[DJR2F] Episode 05: The Rendezvous
*******************************************************************************
Talk to Seep and he will open the Gate. The object of this short episode is
to collect the weapon pieces for the Shotgun.
Weapon Piece 1
--------------
Cross the bridge and defeat 5 Laser chickens. When you get close to them, they
jump up and shoot lasers onto the ground in close proximity so the best thing
to do is either shoot them from afar or hit them with your special melee
uppercut. After you defeat them, pick up #Part 5.1#.
Weapon Piece 2
--------------
Turn around to see the saws going across the bridge. Shoot the targets as they
cross the bridge. This is easy using your Tommy Gun/Twin Shooter. Once you
shoot them all (no time limit), the saws will stop so you can cross the bridge
and get #Part 5.2#.
Weapon Piece 3
--------------
The third task is to shoot all of the Mine Energy Pods. You start in the barn
area in between the mine area and the sawmill.
Barn: 1 straight ahead of you.
1 up in the air to the left of the broken water chute (above the small
bridge).
1 below the satellite dish on the barn.
Sawmill: 1 on building above the closed gate.
1 by the Water Barrel tower.
Mine: 1 to your left at the front of a building.
1 behind the pick-up truck.
1 to the right of the path the leads down to the water under the bridge.
1 below the broken mine track on the other side of the entrance bridge.
After shooting all of the Mine Energy Pods, go past Seep to the Barn to get
#Part 5.3# and exit the episode.
[DJR2G] Episode 06: The Sanctuary
*******************************************************************************
This is a really short episode that takes place in your barn headquarters. All
you have to do is head right and hit the twinkling switch twice to set the
satellite dish in position to open the exit. Aside from some yellow pods/orbs
and trap switches (activating saws) to play around with, there is one more
thing to get before exiting: #Part 6.1#.
#Part 6.1# can be located in two different places depending upon your
character. For Death Jr., it is located to the left of the ramp that leads to
the 2nd floor in a secret cubby hole nestled in that same ramp. For Pandora,
on the 2nd floor in the middle of some rafters that you have to Rafter
Transfer to cross.
[DJR2H] Episode 07: Llama Farm
*******************************************************************************
You start in a small barnyard enclosure facing several Laser Chickens. Jump on
the large tree stump and then hover jump from hook to hook to hit the lever at
the end in order to open the barn door. Note: Unlike rafters, you will
continue to swing on hooks until you manually jump; Also, you must time your
jump - if you want to jump forward, you must jump when you are swinging
forward. Enter the barn and drop down.
Checkpoint 1
------------
Use a ranged weapon, like the shotgun, to destroy the Robot Spiders. Note: It
is around this point that I earned the 3rd Special Melee Attack. There are 2
levers, one on the right side and one on the left side. Pull both and then
Ledge Grab onto the platform. Jump to the next platform and hover jump across
the hooks to the 3rd platform. Repeat this to get to a 4th platform where you
can pull a lever. Go through the newly opened path.
Checkpoint 2
------------
There are 4 different levers in this room that open 4 doors.
1st Lever (right): 2 Robot Spiders
2nd Lever (right): 2 Robot Spiders, 1 Rolling Robot (like Rolling Skulls)
1st Lever (left) : 2 Robot Spiders
2nd Lever (left) : 1 Rolling Robot, 1 Lever.
Pull the lever (located in the area opened by pulling the 2nd lever on the
left) to open the door above you. Jump on the platform and then you will have
to Hover Jump across hooks as well as Rafter Jump across rafters to get to the
upper level. Note: You will need to hover jump to the last rafter; Also, it is
easier if you adjust your camera while you are swinging on the 2nd hook.
Checkpoint 3
------------
Note: The lava is instant-death so do not touch it. Hover jump from side to
side until you get to the other side. In the Satellite Dish Room, you need to
destroy the Mine Energy Pods to destroy the vine barrier. 3 Mine Energy Pods
are to your left near the vine barrier. 1 is to your right up high. 1 is
directly across the room (initially blocked by the satellite dish) up high.
Checkpoint 4
------------
In this area you will need to destroy 5 Mine Energy Pods to destroy the vine
barrier. 1 is across the room on the left near the vine barrier, 1 is across
the room to your right, and 3 are in an area below the tree limbs. Go to your
right and down the tree limb and destroy the 2 Robot Centipedes and 3 Mine
Energy Pods.
Once you get #Part 7.1# above the tree stump, many robot centipedes will warp
in to the area. On lower difficulty modes, you can melee attack them well but
on Deathly mode, you will want to use a ranged attack while constantly moving
out of the way.
Head back up the tree limb and across the room to your right and hover jump
across the gap to destroy the Robot Centipede and Mine Energy Pod. Travel to
the vine barrier and destroy the last Mine Energy Pod. In the tunnel there
will be 3 Rolling Robots to attack you.
Checkpoint 5
------------
Head right and hover jump down to the platform with the dynamite (hit it to
make a stalagtite drop and form a platform). Continue on the path and hit
another dynamite stick. Jump across the platform to where you entered. Head
right and, this time, jump across the stalagtite to get to a cave with an
Alien Robot which uses a melee attack and explodes on death. Hover jump across
the hooks to the other side.
Checkpoint 6
------------
In this room, you can flip the switches to turn the gas in each cylinder red
or green. If you turn them all red, you will have to fight 6 Cyborg Rats
(lure them into the hallway and use your shotgun to dispatch them). Turn them
all green to initiate a teleporter. You will teleport into a room that looks
the same and will be assaulted by 12 Cyborg Rats (use the shotgun). After you
defeat them, two doors will open. Go through the door where you see an
electrical charge and follow the path to get #Part 7.2#. Now head back and go
through the other door.
Checkpoint 7
------------
Just an empty tunnel with ammo/health.
Checkpoint 8
------------
As you enter the room and see the Robot Dog, immediately run to the left side
behind a barrier (the Robot Dog will not attack). When you are ready, move
from behind the barrier and use your rocket launcher to defeat him. Another
Robot Dog will appear so dispatch him the same way.
There are 4 levers on the ground floor, one near each corner, as well as
Robot Centipedes firing at you from the 2nd floor. You might find it easier
if you shoot the robot centipedes from the ground floor (they might fall to
the ground floor for an easy melee kill). Hit all 4 levers to activate a
teleporter to the 2nd floor.
Rafter Jump across the opposite side of the teleporter (on the 2nd floor) to
get #Part 7.3# (need to hover jump). Exit through the door on the 2nd level.
Checkpoint 9
------------
In this room you must destroy the Mine Energy Pods. The first one is on your
left. Jump across the platforms and destroy the second one in the center of
the next room. Use your guns to destroy the third one on the ceiling of the
opposite side of the room (across the gap). Travel right along the path and
hover jump down to the path on the left.
Pull the lever and hover jump to the floating platform to destroy the fourth
mine energy pod (2 Cyborg Rats will appear on the platform). Jump back to the
original path, follow it, and destroy the fifth mine energy pod near the hook.
The last mine energy pod is below the vine barrier (2 Cyborg Rats will appear
near the exit).
Test Subject 51
---------------
Mini-Boss: Test Subject 51 - a giant Cyborg Rabbit that spits fire and causes
energy spikes to move along the ground when he pounds it with his paws. During
the fight, Cyborg Rats will continuously appear. Use your C4 Hamspters/Shiny
Sparklies against Test Subject 51 while continously jumping/strafing around
him. After defeating him, use the shotgun to dispatch remaining cyborg rats
and get #Part 7.4#. Exit the episode.
Other weapons like the TP Launcher/Freeze gun are also useful here.
[DJR2I] Episode 08: Uncle Sam's Secret Syrup
*******************************************************************************
Fight off 6-8 Cyborg Rats and then go through the rat hole. Note: Beware of
the destructible items that blow up (i.e. radioactive boxes).
Checkpoint 1
------------
This section is mostly platforming. From here jump/hover jump/rafter jump
along each path. In the last room, you will want to hover jump from hook to
hook (adjust your camera while you are swinging on each hook).
Checkpoint 2
------------
Take on 4 waves of enemies:
1: Bio-Suit Enemy and Robot Spider
2: Bio-Suit Enemy and 2 Robot Spiders
3: Bio-Suit Enemy and 3 Robot Spiders
4: 2 Bio-Suit Enemies
Follow the path to the health/ammo. Use rafter jump and hover jump to cross
the gap and you will face 3 Robot Centipedes. Note: There are destructible
gas canisters near them so you can just shoot that to defeat your enemy.
Follow the path to your right.
For Bio-Suit Enemies, once you knock them down once, you can just keep
using a special melee attack like 720 Incontinent Grandma.
Checkpoint 3
------------
At this point, you must hover jump across the gap and make sure to hover over
the steam rising up to give you some lift.
Tip: If you stop moving forward while on the steam, you will rise up higher
than if you keep moving forward. Sometimes, it will be better to stay on the
steam in order to cross a long gap.
Repeat with the next gap except this time use the steam to boost you to the
zip-line. Destroy the 4 Mine Energy Pods to open the barrier and drop into the
hole. There are 2 Robot Centipedes across the gap. Take them out and hover
jump to the opposite side using the steam. Note: At around this point you I
received the 4th special melee attack.
Jump to the ledge on your right: You will see platforms moving on the green
goo (instant death) towards you and then sinking. You will want to hover jump
from platform to platform and then jump onto the rock ledge to your left to
get #Part 8.1#. Resume jumping from platform to platform through the tunnel
until you reach safe ground.
Checkpoint 4
------------
Drop down to a lower ledge and hover jump to a platform with a Robot Centipede.
Use the steam to hover jump across to another platform with a Robot Centipede.
Checkpoint 5
------------
There will be 6 Robot Centipedes (use TP Launcher/C4 Hampsters/Shiny
Sparklies). Go up the path on your left and jump onto the next platform to get
some Biocide. Turn and hover jump across the hooks to the open pipe and press
B to inject the roots with the Biocide to make them whither. Jump down and
defeat 2 Cyborg Rats. Use the zip-line to cross to the other side.
Checkpoint 6
------------
Drop down and take out 3-4 Rolling Robots. Note: You can Ledge Grab to get on
top of the clams to jump off of them. After you see the 1st clam, head left
down a path with 3 Cyborg Rats to get #Part 8.2#. Go back along the original
path and walk through the Huge Jaws when they are open (it will hurt if you
get chomped on).
Checkpoint 7
------------
Go down the path or use the Ledge Grab to get on the upper level and follow
that path - either way you will face some Cyborg Rats and 2 Robot Centipedes.
Near the giant moving mantis head get #Part 8.3# and some Biocide. Follow the
path and use the Biocide to cause the vine barrier to whither. Touch the
crystal to teleport.
Checkpoint 8
------------
Hit the lever to start the moving platform
