1. INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portal Runner
This is a full Walkthrough designed to double as a Quick Reference Guide. I
designed the guide this way so it would serve the needs of various players.
Some players want detailed instructions while others want to roam game levels
without reading a guide; yet needing to find items they might have missed. This
guide helps players to locate necessary items (like specific arrows), all the
gems (which raise the health level), and indicate where the level ends (so no
one will accidentally exit before collecting all the gems and items). The level
exits aren't always clearly marked. In the past, I've left an area before I was
ready to simply because the end was not evident; this meant I had to replay the
level.
This double Full/Quick guide will lead the player to the various check points
with the correct number of items or gems. It can be irritating to reach the end
of a hard section only to realize you need to replay not just the area, but the
whole level because you didn't find all the health point gems. You can pull up
the gem count window any time during game play but that doesn't always help.
You may have already passed a gem point, with no return. There are several
points in the game where you cannot return to a previous area to retrieve any
gems you missed. These points are referenced within this guide. I tried to make
it as easy as possible to read. If you have any questions, or if I have missed
anything, please email me at
[email protected].
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each section of this guide contains a complete Walkthrough complimented by a
Quick Reference Guide; which is fully integrated into the Walkthrough.
Full Walkthrough: This is a detailed walkthrough which includes hidden areas,
check points, and maps. Special marked areas within the guide are referenced in
the Quick Reference Guide using "reference" words. When you see a word written
within "()" then look at the Quick Reference Guide for directions.
Quick Reference Guide: You won't spend too much time reading. The Quick
Reference details Check Points, Golden Lionhead platforms, Hidden gems, item
locations, and Portals. I've also included a few player hints. The Quick
Reference Guide is integrated into the Walkthrough. For example, if you read
"Lion 1" but you don't recognize the area, just look through the Walkthrough
section and search for "(Lion 1)". This will guide you to the area. I try to
lead the player up to an important point, then I place the reference word in
parentheses so the player can refer to the Quick Reference Guide for details.
Since the two guides have common points, they aid all players, no matter what
guide they are following.
By the way, some areas have Portals instead of Check Points. I have made a note
of these in this guide. The levels contain more than one Check Point so each
one is numbered according to it's location. I have also complimented other
reference words with numbers corresponding to their location within each level.
REFERENCE WORDS---->
(Check Point):
When you see "Check Point" in the guide, please note the number of gems you
have. I calculated the number of gems you should have when you reach any Check
Point. Any gems picked up after any one Check Point will be added to the next
Check Point total. Certain areas, in this guide, lack a "Check Point" gem count
because you can always go back and collect any gems you missed. Those areas
containing a "Check Point" gem count are necessary because the area might
close off behind you at some point and you can't go back for the gems.
(Hidden):
Most of the time the "Hidden" refers to those areas that may be hard to find.
(Portal):
This represents a non-returnable check point. Once you pass through the portal
you cannot return to find missing gems. Please note the number of gems you
have before entering the portal.
(Lion):
This indicates the location of the Golden Lionhead platform. This refers to a
point in the game where the player must complete certain task in order to
activate the Golden Lionhead platform and collect the gems.

LEVEL 04
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Prehistoric Jungle
Play as: Vikki
Objective: Befriend the Lion and Set up Camp
Gems: 70
Score: 34,510
Check points really don't matter here because you always have a chance to go
back and get any gems that you missed. Just DON'T light the campfire until you
have all 70 gems.
--1st Objective; Befriend the Lion by collecting three dino eggs.
Get the gem at the Vista Point behind Leo then turn around and head off to
the left side. The first egg is easy. The second egg triggers a raptor
attack. Just kill him with basic arrows. After picking up the second egg,
head for the ledge walkway with the gems and jump up. Collect the gems as
you follow the walkway to the last egg. Head back to Leo and feed him. Hit
Check Point 1.
--2nd Objective; Clear the Waterfall Area of all enemy creatures.
Head back to the area where you followed the ramp, but this time take the
lower path. Kill the raptors. When you reach the waterfall area, grab the
Explosive arrow located just past the campfire and destroy the raptor nest.
These nests will continue to produce raptors until you destroy them. Now
head to the waterfall and collect the 2 gems. Now destroy the cracked wall
and enter the cave. Shooting the ceiling rocks will plug the hot vents.
Now kill the Pterodactyl with basic arrows. Objective completed.
--3rd Objective; Collect three sticks and bring them back to the campfire.
Collect the Fire Arrow because you will need it, then head off toward the
the raptor nest you destroyed. Hit R1 to signal Leo to stay put, then climb
the ledge. Collect the gems. Use an Explosive Arrow to destroy the cracked
rock blocking your way. After jumping the gap, turn to your right and walk
cross the floating rock to reach your first STICK {1}.
Return to the ledge and walk to the end. You will see a cracked wall to
your left. Use an Explosive Arrow to break the wall down (Lion 1 - start
at "Blow it up") Collect all the gems, Explosive Arrows, and 2nd STICK {2}.
Exit the area and continue down the path to your left. Ready for raptors.
When you reach the two Explosive Arrows a raptor will come for you. Kill it
and keep moving forward because more raptors will follow. Rush forward until
you spot the raptor nest. Destroy it. Make sure you kill the raptors and
move quickly or you will die and have to do all this over again. You are now
at a Y-shaped intersection. You have a Pterodactyl aiming for you but ignore
it. Killing it will only bring more. Kill it after you destroy the nest.
Right Path: Follow the path on the right and you will see spiny bushes.
destroy them with the fire arrow. Now you are back at the beginning of the
level. I'm sure you spotted that cracked wall earlier and wondered why I
didn't mention it. Blow up the wall. Kill the Raptor and collect the gems.
You should receive a "life up". Destroy the raptor nest and leave. head
back through the burnt brush area and take the left path.
Left Path: Blow up the wall and you are faced with another Y-shaped choice.
Take the right path so we can get rid of the Pterodactyl. Walk along the
right ledge, opposite the one containing the gems, and follow it to the path
break. you will recognize this area as the one you passed earlier, near the
beginning. Now, jump down to the first platform and start collecting gems.
Now collect the yellow gems on the ledge you passed. At the end, look to your
left and you should spot the Pterodactyl nest. It sets atop the rock
formation on the left. It's often hard to spot because it's the same color
as the rocks. Destroy it with an Explosive Arrow. Now you can kill the
Pterodactyl and they won't return. Just stay there, aim, and he'll find you.
Once you've killed him, don't jump down, there is a raptor waiting below.
Surprise him from the other end. Go back to the path split. Go back down
the original path and grab some hearts if needed.
Now take the left path. If you look to the right you will see two yellow
hearts and 2 gems. Opposite this is a short path that leads to another
cracked wall. Inside you will find a raptor, hearts, and arrows. Leave.
Back on the path. Continue toward 2 hearts. You will reach a T-shape
intersection. To the right is the raptor nest you need to destroy. The nest
is replaced with 2 hearts and 2 gems. Now return the intersection and take
the left path. You will soon encounter another raptor nest; destroy it.
Right next to it is another cracked wall and another raptor. This is where
you will find the last stick. (Hidden 1). You should now have 70 gems and
all 3 sticks. Return to camp. Grab the Fire arrow. The three sticks will
appear in the circle. Target with the Fire arrow and shoot.
Quick Reference Guide ---->
Lion 1; In the area to the lava flow next to the campsite. Blow up the
boulder blocking your way, then follow the path around to the left. When you
reach the end, you will see a cracked wall on the left. Blow it up. There are
floating rock platforms that start to sink when you jump on them. After the
second platform, look to the right, you will notice a cracked rock setting in
the lava. Use an explosive arrow to blow it up. The Golden Lionhead will
appear; 5 gems.
Hidden 1; In the area where you find one of the sticks you will see three
bones on the ground. Use the explosive arrows to blow them up and reveal 3
gems; one gem for each bone.

LEVEL 05
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Prehistoric Jungle Canyon
Play as: Vikki Mounted on Leo.
Objective; Find a Way Out of the Canyon.
Gems: 153
Score: 41,900
Check Points don't matter here, either, because you always have a chance to go
back and collect them; HOWEVER, collect as many as you can before hitting the
listed Check Points because a counter will start when you reach the pillars and
you will only have a limited amount of time to collect all the gems before
completing the stone blockade puzzle. IMPORTANT; Make sure you have all 153
gems before collecting the final key stone (rune) and going to the pillars. The
level ends after you approach the pillars with all the stone keys (runes).
This area is pretty straight forward. The T-Bones will help you pick up speed
and jump wide gaps. Just follow the path and you will see them. Jump the gap
and follow the path around to the right. You'll get those cliff gems later.
You'll find Fire Arrows on the path. You can also shoot the raptor while
riding Leo without taking aim. You can destroy the rock creature with the Fire
arrow. Remember to collect as many gems as you can before jumping off the cliff
--you should have 55 gems before jumping off the cliff and into the water.
You'll see four leaves floating in the water. Jump on each one and ride them
up to collect the gems. Now hit the CHECK POINT at the entrance to the canyon.
Once you move forward, the pillars will block your way and scatter their right
Rune Keys. You are now on a 6 minute timer.
Rune 1: Go up the path on your right. You will see T-Bones and a Rune Key.
Rune 2: After jumping to get the first Rune Key, you will land on a plateau.
Take the right path to get this Rune Key. Turn around, head to the left path.
Rune 3: Take the left path and jump to the next plateau. (Lion 1)
Rune 4: You landed in the water so take the left path and you will see the
pillars. DO NOT GRAB THIS RUNE. You need to save it for last. Instead, hug
the left wall and turn the corner. Follow the path of gems until they spilt.
Grab the Rune on the right.
Rune 5: Now take the left path of gems. Follow them past the pink heart. Kill
the raptor and get ready to jump off the cliff face. If you don't catch all the
gems, head back and perform the jump until you collect them all.
Rune 6: Now head back to the pillars and follow the next path of gems. When
you reach an open area, take the gems path to the right. This will lead you to
two Runes. Take the left Rune first then come back up the path.
Rune 7: Collect the Rune on the right then count your gems. Make sure you have
153 gems before collecting the final Rune. All loose gems should be below this
cliff.
Rune 8: head back to the pillars and collect the last Rune Stone. The pillars
are right next to you so walk up to them. A walkway will form.
Quick Reference Guide ---->
Lion 1; Golden Lionhead: While collecting the 8 magic stones. Go up one of
the ramps and look for the green stones. Run and jump to the stones. You will
find the Lionhead there. Ride it to get 2 diamonds and a Life Up.

Play as: Vikki with Leo
Objective: Solve the Secret of the Pyramid to get out of the Jungle.
Gems: 82
Score: 48,780
Grab the trident Arrows then move toward the pillar. When you collect the gems
beside the wall you'll hear Vikki talk about raptor nests. There are 3 raptor
nests that you can see from this location. Come back here when you have
explosive arrows and destroy two of them.
Head down the hill, following the gem trail. Let Leo take care of the raptors
while you continue ahead and grab an explosive arrow. Remain in this spot and
destroy the raptor nests; you will gain a new explosive arrow each time you use
one. Collect the gems in this area and grab another explosive arrow. Go left.
On the left you will see a sparkling spiral situated over a plate with a lion's
head on it. Lead Leo to the spot then hit the R1 so he will stay. You will
need to run past the arrows to the other side. Stand on the stone platform and
hit the R1 again. Vikki will call Leo over. The stone platform will take Vikki
up to the Stone Key. Now lead Leo over this Lion head spot and all the arrow
heads will explode. Gather the gems. (Lion 1) (Check Point 1).
You should have two explosive arrows. head back up the hill and destroy the
two raptor nests. The hanging vines won't allow you to destroy the 3rd. one.
Now follow the yellow gem trail and be prepared to destroy two more raptor
nests--one on each side of the trail. Place the stone key and a metal lion
head stone will appear. lead Leo unto it then hit the R1.
Now, climb the structure. Follow the diagram below. The arrow platforms will
turn green when you've made the correct selection.

Once Leo has landed you have completed the objective and Check Point 2 will
appear.
Destroy the cracked wall and start shooting raptors. Blow up the remaining
raptor nests. Collect the gems and Explosive arrows. Have Leo stand on the
Lion head space and the wall will drop. THE END OF THE LEVEL IS CLOSE. Do not
go too far or you will end the level before collecting all the gems. Destroy
the raptor nest and the raptors. The last 3 gems are in the distance. Don't
get them until you are sure you have the other 79.
Quick Reference Guide ---->
Check Point 1; 41 gems but you can always go back to collect the gems.
Check Point 2; Just make sure you collect 82 gems before leaving.
Lion 1; Golden Lionhead in the Gauntlet area. After running past the arrows
and retrieving the stone key, have Leo walk onto the lionhead space next to the
platform you just rode up on. This will explode all the gauntlets. Four of
them have turned into crystal balls. Go around and shoot each one. After the
last one, the Golden Lionhead platform will appear in the center of the area.

Gems: 61
Score: 55,780
Objective 1 & 2: Shut off the Lava Fall & find your way across.
Jump the rocky outcrops to reach the red gem and see the lava fall. In the
corner you will find rock platforms leading into the lava. Hop across them to
reach the other side. Collect Explosive arrows along the way. When you reach
the opposite corner you will see a cave. Enter it. Follow the gems to two
explosive arrows, then enter another cave. When you exit, arm yourself with an
explosive arrow and take aim on the red boulder, up, and opposite you. This
will complete your objective. Now exit the way you came. (Check Point 1).
Make your way back to the beginning area and ride the platform across. Hit
(Check Point 2).
Grab the fire arrows, the run to the other side, where all the spiny plants
are. Fire up the plants. (Hidden 1) then (Hidden 2) while still at the
lion's mouth. After completion, jump on top of the rock structure and jump the
platforms to the other side. Aim a fire arrow at the spiny plants and clear
your path.
Objective 3: Activate the Three Elemental Crystals.
You will see a triangular stone floating above the fires in the distance. Aim
and shoot it with a basic arrow. (Check Point 3) will appear. Cross the
pathways and look to your left. Burn up the bush for a gem. There is a gem
in the lava pit with the bone. Basic rule here, blow up, burn up, and search
everything. These raptors are stronger so use stronger arrows if you need to.
The Pterodactyls are about the same. Kill them both then burn up this bush and
the next pit.
The first area you come to is water. This area is located opposite the pillar.
ignore the fire and jump the gem arch toward the pit. Collect the four Water
arrows and any gems, then head back to the burning log on the path above.
Extinguish the fire with a Water arrow. You will see a water stone floating
above a vent. Arm a water arrow, aim, and shoot it. Now, jump down into the
pool and collect the gems. Before hitting the check point conduct (Lion 1).
Now hit (Check Point 4) with 46 gems (you may have collected more or less).
Head out of the area. When the Lava Monster jumps out of the pit, shoot him
with a Water arrow. follow the wall to the right and burn up the bushes. Now
collect the gem and the Fire arrows. Double back and enter the Lightning
Element area. Collect the gems, then follow the path to the stone surrounded
by four floating shields. Platforms will start raising out of the lava. You
should still have four Lightning arrows so use them first. Fire each arrow at
the triangle stone protected by the shields. Shoot between the shields. The
shields will start to rotate faster as more shots hit home. Collect more arrows
by jumping along the rising platforms. After completing the task, (Check Point

in all the lava pits. That's probably where they are. If you just can't find
that very last gem then do this: from the lightning pit, turn around and follow
the left wall. You will eventually come to a very well hidden lava pit with a
red gem nestled inside. Now ride the floating elemental platforms and end the
level.
Quick Reference Guide ---->
Check Point gem count doesn't really matter because you can always return to
any area. Here is a list of where the Check Points are located.
Check Point 1: At the cave exit after stopping the lava fall.
Check Point 2: This is after you ride the platforms across the lava pool.
Check Point 3: This appears after you shoot the Fire Element Stone.
Check Point 4: This appears after completing the Water Element.
Check Point 5: this appears after completing the Lightning Element.
Hidden 1; This is in the beginning area. After jumping the platforms, burn up
the bushes to the right. Kill the rock creature. Near the edge you will notice
a square looking, lighter colored, rock platform. Step on it. A floating gem
will appear. Shoot it with a basic arrow. Red platforms will materialize where
the blue gems appear. These lead to the red gem resting in the lion's mouth.
Hidden 2; Burn up the thorn bush on the mountain directly opposite the Lion's
head. After jumping the red platforms to the Lion's mouth and getting the gem,
turn around. Look to the mountain opposite the head and you will see a thorn
bush. Burn the thorn bush with a fire arrow, then burn the plant that grows in
its place. Stones will start rising from the lava in front of you. The largest
stone, in the middle, has a secret opening that faces the direction of the
Lion's head. Jump to it from where you are. Go inside the square and discover
more gems. You should have 22 gems by now.
Lion 1; Off to the left of the plugged vent, you'll see a half-hidden green
leafy thing. Burn it with a Fire arrow. A rock-like creature will float up and
start shooting fireballs at you. Keep firing at the stone until you destroy it;
using either Water or Explosive arrows. After defeating the stone creature, the
Golden Lionhead platform will appear to take you to the other side where you
will find 3 gems--1 diamond with 4 Lightning arrows, a red gem on the surface,
and a red gem in the lava pit along with 4 Explosive arrows.

go back to the Check Point spot and jump down to the gems. First, follow the
path to the left and collect the gems. Kill the Lava Monsters. Now turn round
and head back. Grab the T-Bones and jump the vents. Kill the Lava Monster.
Now you face a fork in the road. Take the right path. Follow it to a cliff.
Shot the 3 visible Lava Monsters from this Vista Point. Now backtrack and take

Jump the pit. Do not jump down into the pit. Instead, follow the yellow gems
that seem to dive off the cliff (Lion 1). After returning, do not jump into the
fire pit. Instead, follow the path of gems and safely walk between the fire to
reach Water arrows, a heart, and a green gem. Return to the path and follow
the gems. Kill the Lava Monsters and collect gems. You should reach (Check
Point 3).
Follow the lava rocks. You have to run across as soon as the path appears. The
last rock platform will take you up to a ledge packed with gems. Jump back to
the rock platform, then jump through the square opening. You will see a series
of vents. Jump on the rock platforms as they appear (Check Point 4).
Now, if you don't do these jumps just right, you will miss the gems. If you
mess up, just die and do this part again until you get the gems. You should
now have 111 gems. Head up the path. A huge Lava Monster will rise out of the
lava and start throwing fireballs at you. Do not shoot at the Monster. Arm
yourself with an Explosive arrow and aim for the Stalagmite hanging above the
Monster. Shoot it.
A circular rock will appear with a vent in the middle. The fire vent will
produce Hearts and Explosive arrows. With the explosive arrows, aim for the
small rocks that are located on the surrounding wall. Each time you shoot one,
lava will start to flow. This will cause your rock platform to rise. You need
to destroy for rocks. Now jump to land and collect the last 4 gems before
entering the portal.

When you first get control of Vikki, look at the Dragon's position. Now run for
cover. (Hidden 1) Each shield on the castle wall allows the platforms to move
and gives you access to different types of arrows. But the first objective is
to get the gems. You won't be able to collect them once you kill the Dragon.
To collect the diamonds on each side, you must jump from one moving platform to
another.
Don't shoot the Dragon until you have an arsenal of arrows. Once you hit him,
his attacks will become stronger and last longer.
The two large shields at the bottom activate the platforms for Trident arrows.
The round shields active the platforms leading to Water Arrows.
The top, small shields, active the platforms that take you to Explosive arrows.
The shields will "ding" when you hit them with a basic arrow. This actives the
platform. Once you have ridden the platform and retrieved the arrows, you can
shoot the shield again to make more arrows appear. One Explosive arrow equals
two Water arrows in strength. Four trident arrows equals the power of two Water
arrows. A green cloud will form where the Dragon is about to appear.

and there are two gems on each walkway. Make sure you have 51 gems before
tackling the spikes. Position Leo a quarter of the way away from the wall and
face the next gem. Once the spiked gear passes, run for the gem. Smashing into
the wall will keep you from passing into the next aisle and clashing with the
next set of spikes, while keeping your backside from getting hit by the spikes
you just passed. You can easily rotate Leo by holding the "D" hard left or hard
right; this allows you to turn without walking into the spikes. Walk to the
other side to grab the jewel. Repeat this process until you reach the end. Half
way through you should earn a Life Up. Alas (Check Point 3).
The overhead view shows you the location of four buttons. For the most part,
ignore the knights unless they're in your way. Once you enter a path to a key
they will just wait for you at the end. Make your way to each button. Don't
worry about the lightning either because there are hearts to heal you. Once you
hit all four buttons, a key will appear. Find out which direction is easiest
for you to run and maintain a direct path to the T-Bones. You need to eat these
T-Bones while maintaining a run so you can go fast enough to catch the key.
Kill any leftover knights before you start the run. Now chase the Key and get
it. (Check Point 4).
Enter the new door and jump on the button. Turn left and jump before the door
closes. Jump over the pits and run past the arrows. Kill the knights then
approach the door. Avoid the ceiling traps. (Check Point 5).
Go down the stairs. Knights will appear all the time so only kill them if they
get in your way. Your objective is to destroy the crates and hit the buttons.
Gems are in the crates. Three buttons are hidden behind the stone wall plates
scattered around the room. Once you push all the buttons, all the gates are
open and you can exit the level.

Make your way down the ramp. Break the for Barrels for gems. Then make your
way to the floating casket. the casket holds a ghost that inflicts damage if
touched. Avoid the ghost and claw the chests. Now look for the room with the
T-Bones. Follow the T-Bone and gem trail to a floating platform containing a
button. Press the button. A new trail of gems appear, leading to the Five of
Hearts card. This activates the door and removes the spikes. Now jump to the
center platform and grab the loose gem. Jump to the original ledge then jump
for the door. If you miss, just push the button and ride the rock platform up.
Follow the hallway around and up until you see a floating, foggy green stone
key. Kill the knights. Now head for the stone circle. Follow the directions
displayed in the message. Watch the wall and watch the trail of keys. Once
you know where to go, head out and follow the trail. If you mess up, just step
in the stone circle again to reset the keys. (Check Point 1).
Kill the knights and break the crates; the crates don't give you anything but
it gets them out of your way. Push three buttons and you'll see a rock platform
drop in the area you just came from. Push the rest of the buttons to reopen the
door. Step on the new rock platform and go for a ride. Jump off. Start
killing knights and destroying crates. Several of these crates contain gems.
Kill the skull thrower, then grab the Six of Hearts card. Now jump of the ledge
and down the new hallway. (Check Point 2).
Trap 4 Ghosts to Break the Door Seals:
Step on the button. Watch the cut scene. Take notice the electric rings, hoops,
formed on the sides of the structure. Follow the gem trail to the structure.
Jump through the two hoops. This will active the machine and capture that pesky
ghost that has been chasing you everywhere. The first seal is now broken. You
need three more ghosts. The ghosts can be found in the rooms down the next few
hallways. After you find a ghost, take it back to the main room, jump through
the hoops, and trap it. The ghost has to follow you into the main room before
it can be caught. Enter the 1st. hallway containing several rooms. There are
four doors on the right, four on the left, and one straight ahead (nothing in
this last room).
1st Hallway Right Side:
1st = gems; 2nd = gems; 3rd = nothing; 4th = gems.
1st. Hallway Left Side:
1st = Ghost; 2nd = gems; 3rd = gems; 4th = hallway.

Trap all the ghosts to release the locks and open the door (Check Point 3).
(Lion 1). You should have 157 gems by the time you reach the boulders blocking
your path. Kill the shadow lions, then claw the boulders to get them out of
your way. When you reach the T-Bone, look to your left. You can see 5 gems.
Jump into the green goop and run for the gems (Hidden 1). The path leads to the
beginning of the area. Make your way back to the T-Bone and continue. Kill two
more shadow cats and claw more boulders. (Check Point 4).
RESCUE VIKKI IN THE CAGE ROOM:
In the cut scene you are directed to hit the counterweights. Once you land on
the metal circle, a timer will start. You must grab all the gems, and hit the
counterweights before Vikki dies. Hitting the counterweights keeps Vikki from
falling into the acid. You should have 198 rings when you reach the top. The
last gem, a diamond, is next to the button that releases Vikki.

This whole level is hidden:
(Hidden 1); Run through the first hall. (if you don't make it through the door
in time, then shoot the floating shield and the door will open). I'm glad this
happened to me while I was writing the guide so I could write about it. Watch
out for the pit at the end. Do not jump on the platform. Turn around and jump
down into pit. Run to the other end of the hall and get your Fire arrows. Shoot
the Barrels with Basic arrows. You will find one Explosive arrow and several
Fire arrows. Run back to the other end of the hall and look for the shield on
the wall; it will have a Fire symbol on it. Shoot the shield with the Fire
arrow. The door will slid open, exposing to knights and one bat. Kill them.
Head into the room and grab the Explosive arrows, then push the switch--heart
button. This switch exposes gems along the hall. Now head for the other end of
the hall, where you got the Fire arrows, and exit. You should earn a Life Up
along the way. Jump on the heart platform. You take a ride up.
(Hidden 2); Jump to the other platform, then into the hall. Run down the hall,
jumping over the pits and gathering gems. (Check Point 1). When you get to the
end, DO NOT LEAVE YET. Turn around and look down into the last pit you jumped
over. There is a gold gem. Jump on it. You will land in the basement where
there are more goodies. (Check Point 2). Shoot the crates open to receive
Explosive arrows. Run down the hall, while collecting the gems. At the end of
the hall, shoot the shield with an Explosive arrow. Kill the two shadow lions
with Trident arrows. they seem to work well on these creatures. Enter the room
and push the button (a.k.a. switch) on the wall. Run down the hall again. Jump
on the Heart platform and ride up. [There is a Gold Shield in front of you and
there will be one in the next hall].
A Golden Shield is on the door in front of you. Jump to the Heart platform,
the one with two gems and a Lightning arrow, then enter the hall. Kill the
knights as you run down the hall. (Check Point 4). A trail of gems lead down
into the pit. Try to get them all on your way down. Positioning the camera
above Vikki and Leo really helps. Kill the Shadow lions then run down the hall.
Destroy all the barrels containing Fire, Explosive, and Lightning arrows. When
you reach the end on the hall, shoot the shield using a Lightning arrow. You
have a time limit so run as fast as you can. When the door opens jump onto the
Heart platform. Jump to the next Heart platform.
Another hallway. Run down the hall, collect gems, kill shadow Lions, and shoot
crates. (Check Point 5). The last barrel contains a Golden arrow. Grab it then
jump on the platform. Another hallway. Run down the hall and touch (Check
Point 6). At the end of the hall, shoot the chest and receive another Golden
arrow. (Lion 1 = Golden Shield 1) (Also refer to Alternate Route).

Hidden 1: Refer above.
Hidden 2: Refer above.
Lion 1; You've reached the end of a hall and see a gold shield. There are two
ways to go. If you are running short on time, go ahead and shoot this one. If
you want some adventure, take the other gold shield, Alternative Route (you
will still get to experience the hall behind the other gold shield). Jump on
the platform. After entering the new hall, look to your left and shoot the
"sparking" Lion Head statue on the wall. The Golden Lionhead platform will
appear. Take a ride. You should have 96 gems so enter the portal.
Alternative Route: If you choose to tale the other Gold shield then jump on
the platform and shoot the Gold shield with a Golden arrow. There is a Check
Point in here. Journey down the hallway. You will have to dodge knights and
giant marbles. One hit and you're dead. Jump on the heart platform at the end
and you will be taken to the final hall.

Play as: Vikki mounted on Leo
Objective: Defeat The Flying Saucer to Get the Key to the Wedding Hall.
Gems: 119
Score: 130,880
Objective: Catch that saucer, BUT only after you have all the gems. As soon as
you capture the saucer, the level ends. Run down the hall and chase the saucer
before the door closes. Shoot the little aliens, then continue. Jump to each
platform then enter (Portal 1).
Prehistoric Jungle: Chase the saucer while jumping over fallen trees. Be sure
to destroy a raptor nest for 3 gems. Shoot the saucer with Lightning arrows
but watch it's lifeline. Don't destroy the saucer until you have collected all
119 gems. (Portal 2).
Space World: gather the gems and jump the two platforms. A piercing arrow is
floating in the air between the two platforms. Gather the gems, then use the
left entrance leading to the energy spheres. After the sphere touches the
ground, it will start moving away from you. Another one is not far behind so
move quickly. Follow the left wall and enter the first open wall space. You'll
be safe here while another sphere passes you. Now follow the wall to the next
space. Don' double back. You will get those gems later. From the second wall
space, head to the opening in the center divider. Within the space, look behind
you and locate the red button (Lion 1).
After riding the Lionhead platform, look to the left and wait for the sphere to
pass. Head for the center divider, gather gems, then look for the gems in the
open wall space, along the same path you've been following. From this space,
wait for the sphere to pass, then head for the center divide. After the sphere
falls, move into the tunnel on the right side of the path. Grab this gem. Now,
you can either jump this pit, or turn around and enter from the other side.
Both paths lead to the same area. Follow the saucer. It will lead you through
an opening, back in the energy sphere room. You need to exit before the door
shuts but make sure you don't get hit by and energy sphere or you will have to
do this all over again. If the door does shut, just turn around and go back the
way you came in. Cross to the other side, and grab the gems along this wall.
You already picked up the gems in the center divide, so just follow the wall.
The last center divide is right before you exit the energy sphere room. Head
for the portal you came out of earlier (Portal 3).
You're back in the Prehistoric Jungle. More blue gems have formed along the
forest trail. Collect the last remaining gems. If you miss the saucer, then
(Portal 4). Shoot the saucer until you destroy it. It will follow the same
path you just traveled, until you destroy it. Try to destroy it as close to
the Prehistoric Jungle as possible because after picking up the key, you will
be on a timer and will have a limited time to reach the locked door.

Location: UFO Spacecraft
Play as: Vikki
Objective: Find Way to the Brain Room.
Gems needed: 96
Score: 137,870
Objective: Deactivate the Energy Beams in the Ramp Room. After you gain control
of Vikki, collect all the arrows in the room. Green walls are moving toward you
so you will have to walk sideways in order to make it through the openings
without losing much ground. The walls cause damage if they hit you. Gather the
gems (Check Point 1).
After entering the door, you will be given the task of killing the alien before
he sets off the alarm. Actually, there are two aliens heading for the alarm.
You must kill them both. Use the explosive arrows because they create a greater
area of destruction on impact. if you fail to kill the two aliens, then the
alarm will go off and four, stronger, aliens will materialize. You can still
meet the objective, but the alarm will make the task harder to accomplish. It
will take one Piercing arrow, or two explosive arrows, to kill each floating
alien. One Lightning arrow will temporarily stun one of them until you can kill
it with a second Lightning arrow. No matter how many floating aliens you kill,
more will show up to replace them until you turn off the alarm. It's much
easier just to kill the two aliens on their way up to the alarm. There are no
hearts for you to recover your health. After you kill the alarm hitting aliens,
two green hearts will appear on the platform with the button. Keep trying. If
you die, you will always start over right at the entrance. Either way, kill the
aliens, then step on the red button. This action will lower the defense shield
that was blocking your exit. Now head for (Check Point 2).
Head up the hallway. You'll see boxes against the wall and an opening to your
left. Enter the room on your left. A cylinder will be rotating a collection
of beams directed toward the floor. You will after avoid the rotating beams
while collecting the gems and arrows. If you get hit too many times, then
head back out to the hall and destroy the box next to the entrance to reveal a
green heart. The other boxes contain Piercing arrows. After gathering every-
thing in the room, arm yourself with a Lightning arrow and look down the hall.
A little alien is waiting for you. If you are low on health, hit him from a
distance. The Lightning arrows have a greater range and better homing. Two
more aliens are waiting around the corner. At the bottom, you will enter a
room where your exit is blocked by green goop. Collect all the arrows around
the area, locating (Check Point 3).
From the spot where you touched the check point, look for the red target
located on the center structure. Shoot it with a Basic arrow and the goop will
drain. Circle around to the other side and a door will open. Arm yourself with
Basic arrows, then take a ride up. When the door opens you will exit into a
room filled with chambers. Immediately start shooting the targets that turn
green or a floating alien will exit the chamber. Start your shooting task
moving from the chamber in front of you, then walking clockwise. You do not
have to stop and aim. As long as you are facing the target, the Basic arrows
will hit the mark. Move quickly or you will have a room full of mean aliens.
You won't be able to kill one before another door opens. If a door does open,
arm yourself with anything but Basic arrows. Even though the doors are open,
you still have to shoot the targets while killing the aliens. Shooting the
targets is actually pretty easy if you follow the left side, clockwise path.
Once done, collect the green hearts, if you need them, then exit through the
new opening. Now you face lasers crossing paths along the hallway. This is
easy. When the lasers open a path, just walk in a continuous movement, past
the lasers, without stopping, and you won't get hit. Two little aliens are
waiting for you at the end so shoot them. Around the corner, two more aliens
stand in front of a closed door. Kill them, then use a Basic arrow on the red
target. You are back in the chamber room. Watch the cut scene then locate
(Check Point 4) before collecting gems.
Gather the gems and arrows on the lower level. You need to find the switch that
activates the platforms. Arm your bow with Piercing arrows, then head down into
the new hallway. Shoot the two floating aliens. In this room, there is a gem
hiding behind the elevator, so locate it first. Now enter the elevator. Your
objective is to destroy all the energy balls. You are given Lightning and
Trident arrows. the Trident work really well. When you shoot the energy balls
they will break up into smaller balls. Find a comfortable shooting area and
take aim. Destroy them. Now exit where you see the red gem. Grab it, then
look for a central switch that activates the moving platforms. You'll see a
red target on the circular structure in front of you. Use a Basic arrow and
shoot. The platform you are on will start moving. Get off at the bottom.
Move toward the end of the ramp and jump on the first platform. You will find
Piercing arrows and (Check Point 5).
Continue upward, jumping from platform to platform. Little aliens will be
waiting for you so be ready to shoot them while in motion. Homing is a little
tricky here so you might want to take aim. The Lightning arrows work great on
this part. Just make your way up while shooting the little aliens.
-Lightning arrows on first platform.
-Piercing arrows on second platform.
-Fire arrows on third platform.
-Explosive arrows on fourth platform.
-Piercing arrows on fifth platform.
Take a ride over to the conveyor belt. Collect all the gems on the belt track.
(Check Point 6).
Once you hit the check point, flying saucers will pop up everywhere and start
shooting at you. Ignore them and follow the path up to the next check point.
Don't worry about shooting the ships. You will take hits on the way up but you
will also find green hearts along the path. (Check Point 7).
After hitting this check point, head up to the main control area and step on
the red button on the floor. Objective is to lower the artificial gravity
setting. The flying saucers disappeared as soon as you stepped on the red
button. Now, arm yourself with Basic arrows and look up. You will see six
round saucers circling the gravity machine. Shoot the green saucer shaped
objects. When you hit the first saucer, little aliens will materialize in the
control area where you are and they will start shooting at you. You can either
kill them now, or keep shooting the saucers. New aliens will replace the ones
you shot but these will pause for a while before they start shooting at you.
Once you've destroyed all the saucers, the gravity machine will open and the
red center will be exposed. Shoot it and the gravity will turn off. Now you
can jump higher, farther, and fall slower. Time to collect some gems. The
new hallway you opened leads to the Brain, but don't go there yet.
Gems: Several six gems floating in space. Adjust your camera so you can get
all of them. In the control area, where you are standing, walk up to the high
walkway. Look up and see all the gems you need to collect from this area.
Now (Lion 1). The last three gems are in the hallway leading to the Brain.
Exit the area through that hallway.

center structure that supports the ball of gems. After hitting the button, the
Golden Lionhead Platform will appear at the bottom-center. It will take you
and into that beautiful gem room (seven gems).
Hint: Check your gems before entering the exit containing 3 gems. If you are
still a few gems short, don't forget to grab the ones floating around in the
air. You can only get them when the gravity is turned off. They are very hard
to see with the stars shining outside. There are 13 floating gems. You should
have 93 gems before picking up the 3 gems setting in the entranceway leading to

Location: UFO spacecraft
Objective: Defeat the Brain
Play as: Vikki
Gems: 50
Score: 144,870
Everyone will have a different strategy for defeating this enemy so I will just
point out a few items of interest. When you first start the level you will spot
the Brain in the middle of the room surrounded by green goop and a protective
shield. You cannot shoot him while he is protected by this barrier. Just
leave the shield up for now because he starts shooting at you as soon as the
shield drops. Collect the 25 gems forming a circle around the Brain. Be careful
not to step in the green goop. A flying saucer will start shooting at you while
you collect the gems. It will form a counterclockwise flying pattern around
the Brain. Don't go after the saucer, as it will waste your time; just shoot
the saucer when it passes. Due to its homing ability, I use the Lightning arrow
on the saucer.
Once you collect the 25 gems, jump on two platforms then head for the room with
the red lasers. In the far left corner you will find a switch in the shape of a
red square. There is another one located in the far right corner. Use a Fire
arrow to activate the two red targets; this will stop the red lasers. DO NOT
step on the red, circular, switch located on the floor in the center of this
room; this lowers the Brain's shield. You want to keep his shields up as long
as possible. He cannot shoot at you as long as his shields are up. Ignore this
room for now. Jump on more platforms as you make your way to the Golden Door
(Lion 1).
There are 5 platforms that contain one gem each; they also contain arrows and
hearts. The Brain, the saucer, and the little aliens will try to destroy these
platforms when you're standing on them. Collect these gems and arrows as fast
as you can, then make it back to the room that had the red lasers. The only
time you will have to leave this room is when you need arrows. Depending upon
how fast you collect the gems and the arrows, you should have them all by the
time the Brain releases the white lasers. These lasers will emanate from the
Brain and move around the room in a circular motion. You can avoid these by
jumping over them. Good Luck!
Quick Reference Guide ---->
MY GAME PLAN: As soon as I get control of Vikki I head for the center rings. I
circle the Brain, moving in a counterclockwise direction, so I can shoot the
flying saucer as it flies past. At the last gem I head for the platform in
front of me. I grab the gems on the platforms leading to the red laser room.
I arm Vikki with the Fire arrows and shoot the two red square switches. Once
the lasers drop I turn around and head for the next platform. During this trek
I am collecting all the gems in my path. By the time I reach the two little
aliens, I earn my final Life Up. I kill the little aliens with two Fire arrows;
some times I use Lightning arrows but I like to save those for the saucer and
the Brain. Fire arrows do not work on the Brain. My next stop is the Golden
Door. I had collected an Explosive arrow from one of the platforms, so I use
it on the door. Inside the room are two red gems and two Lightning arrows. A
diamond is on the Golden Lionhead platform. The Brain's shield usually drops by
now so I head toward the red laser room. I collect the Pink Heart if I'm low on
life; otherwise, I grab the green hearts hidden within the containers. I grab
the Piercing arrow and I shoot the Brain. A new Piercing arrow will replace it,
but it will take awhile to materialize. I collect the gems and shoot the Brain
with Lightning arrows until the Piercing arrow shows up again. The Piercing
arrow deducts 6 life points from the Brain. The Lightning arrow deducts 2 life
points. Lightning arrow will continually re-appear on the platform to the right
of the red laser room, facing the Brain. This is where you can replenish your
Lightning arrows. It you are really close to killing the Brain, here's a trick
that I use. In the red laser room I run in a tight circle around the, now
darkened, round floor switch. This way I can wait for the Piercing arrow while
avoiding shots from the Brain.
1st. Platform: Fire arrow, green heart, and green gem.
2nd. Platform: Lightning arrow, green heart, and green gem.
3rd. Platform: Fire arrow, green heart, and green gem.
4th. Platform: Lightning arrow, green heart, and green gem.
5th. Platform: Explosive arrow, green heart, and green gem.
Lion 1; Use one Explosive arrow or 2 Piercing arrows to blow up the Golden
Door. The Golden Lionhead platform is in there (2 gems in room & 1 diamond).
Hint 1: Don't bother shooting the red switches on the wall. They will turn
green but they serve no purpose. This will waste your time. Most of the gems
are visible. Make sure to get all the gems from the five platforms surrounding
the brain.
