Version History

July 3, 2010 - Version 1.0.0 - Posted the guide to GameFAQs.

July 7, 2010 - Version 1.2.1 - Added a new enemy that I somehow forgot, and
working on the Enemy Locations and Weapons sections.

July 6, 2011 - Version 1.2.6 -  Fixed numerous things, revised the guide,
among other things.

July 31, 2011 - Version 1.2.7 - Added the Jarhead Guides logo, went over the
guide again, made very minimal changes here and there.

----
NOTE
----

"Jarhead Guides" is a random name I came up with for all my guides, seeing as
I once had an ASCII head (shaped somewhat like a jar) who was supposed to
make somewhat funny quotes throughout the guide. He was scraped as he took up
too much space to be used that often like that.

And...nothing else to note here this update, really.

-------------
SID'S ENEMIES
-------------

Sid is used for a very small amount of the game (only three levels you can
actually fight) and thus has very few enemies, and not a lot of attacks or
weapons.

*     Pathetic.
**    Target practice.
***   Annoying.
****  Deadly.
***** Litterally unkillable.

Attacks:
1. Slap. The slap does one point of damage.

2. Slap Combo. Each attack does one point. Most enemies can only survive two
hits, so the third is wasted.

3. Slap-nado. Mash the attack button to do a spinning attack. However, do it
too long and you'll get dizzy - not good if there are still enemies nearby.

4. Air-slap. Like a slap, but in the air. Really only useful for hitting
bats and hanging spiders.

5. Air-combo. Like a combo, but in the air. The last hit looks like a slam
dunk, and can hit ground enemies - usually kills them.

6. Ground Slam. Double Jump and then press attack to slam down on your foes.
This attack will kill all of Sid's enemies in one hit, assuming you can jump
above them, and assuming that they can be killed in the first place.

7. Throw. Sid has three different throwing weapons, although the only one
that can be upgraded are his pinecones (during Lonesome Sloth). Each works
slightly differently, though only slightly, and are in Sid's Weapons section.

Enemies:
1. Beavers *
Beavers will, if you're too close, try to hit you with their tails. Otherwise
they just try to ram you from a relatively short distance. Dispatch them
however you please as they are more or less

2. Dodo **
Part of the tutorial on throwing and locking on, Dodos can be taken out on
the ground with two hits, and with two snowballs when they're perched up.
On the ground, they try to attack you with "Tai Qwan Dodo" and on their
perches, they kick eggs at you. Neither attack is very deadly. Eliminate
them and move on, never to see them again (except during the Egg Rolls).

2.5 Rock Dodos ***
These dodos ride on boulders and try to knock you off the platform to make
you start over. A minor nusiance - just knock them off by jumping right when
they touch you to send them back much farther. Also, these Dodos speak a few
times, though not often.

3. Spiders
First Variety *
They are on the ground, and attack you, occasionally trapping you in webs.
Squash them with a ground slam to kill them quickly.

Second Variety **
They are attached to a wall and shoot webs. Throw a pinecone to make them
stop for good.

Third Variety ***
They swing across the water in an attempt to knock you down and put out your
torch. Only a minor annoyance. Lob a pinecone and hope it hits them, since
they swing pretty fast.

Fourth Variety ***
Drops from the ceiling with no warning to damage Sid. Hard to hit without
getting hit. Try an air-slap or air-combo. Pinecones work as well.

4. Molehogs ** (**** during one part of Lonesome Sloth)
Molehogs resemble moles and groundhogs - hence their names. The molehog is
one of the few enemies in the game to speak. Throw some mudballs at their
faces or slap them a few times to take them out. As a warning, molehogs will
throw things at you when they're hiding in their dirt pile, and during
Lonesome sloth this can get deadly if both molehogs attack you while you
cross the thin bridges - so make sure they're dead, and cross quickly as they
respawn if you take too much time.

5. Bats ***
Bats will attempt to shove you off a ledge to either make you start over,
take falling damage, or die. Kill them before crossing any thin bridges.

6. Rhinos *****
Cannot be killed. Throw a mudball at them and make them ram into a hard
object, then ride them in the rocks to win.

-------------
MANNY'S ENEMY
-------------

Manny has one enemy and one short time you use him. Manny cannot jump, throw,
or have his health increased in the shop.

Attacks:
1. Trunk smack. Almost never hits, but an instant kill.
2. Stomp. Always hits, usually instant kill.

Minigame - Well, it's very rare, and I think the only warning is that they
stop attacking for a short time before using this attack.

First - Button Mashing.
Second - Pressing one button.
Third - Pressing another button.

It normally attacks right after so be on the lookout, even if you win.

Snap - A fast attack without warning, can be done 3-4 times in
quick succession, which really drains your health quickly.

{{Bosses}}

These enemies are distinguished by a health bar and have regenerating ammo
nearby. There will also be a boss music track playing and usually air vents
will seal you off so you can't escape them.

Strengths - Only flinches when not attacking.
Number of Leechwes - roughly 50
Number of Pips - roughly 80
Number of Spores - roughly 30

take 2-3 damage.

for you. Dammage unknown, probably 1-2 damage.

times (does not count for flowers spawned by the seed pods).
Defeat the Scythe Weeds to damage about one sixth of its health both times.
Defeat the Seed Pods to damage about one sixth of its health.
Rip all the petals off to damage about one sixth of its health.
Destroy the Flailing Vines to damage about one sixth of its health.

Then coat yourself in goop and run ontop of the vine when it hits. Then go
into the plant to defeat it. Simple, just avoid the below attack...

Boss Spit - A barage of 5-6 orange splashes will signify when it has hit the
ground and where. One of them will aim at you directly, It has a decently
large area of effect, and HURTS, and is annoying when trying to rip off the
petals. The boss will start to use this once the first petal comes off.

always do this if the charge hits you. The boss can combo this 4-5 times, so
