ACT FIVE - ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD
--- CUTSCENE ---
A set of tribesmen peg it as far and as fast away from you as they can, crying
"He's come for HER". The camera then pans up to where you are standing.
--- END CUTSCENE ---
=============================================================================
NB. THERE IS A LOT OF BLACK TAR IN THIS ACT, AND YOU SHOULD AVOID STEPPING IN
IT WHEREVER POSSIBLE, AS IT IS ACIDIC, AND WILL DO DAMAGE TO YOU WHILST
YOU ARE IN IT.
=============================================================================
> Follow the path down and through the archway. As you approach, there is a
rockfall from the ceiling above, and the archway is blocked. A large,
lumbering ape-like beast (which I shall call an "Gorilla Man") comes
charging towards you, scraping his knuckles on the ground as he goes ...
These guys are TOUGH to fight, because they have a really annoying close-
quarters attack which replicates a Gorilla's punches somewhat. It can hit
you multiple times and do quite a bit of damage AND annoyance, so be aware
of that. Strong attacks work best, as does stick-and-move play.
If he jumps up, he's about to pound the floor and cause a minor earthquake
so you should jump out of the way or roll away to avoid taking a lot of
damage. He also has a couple of brutal arm swings that can ruin your
afternoon.
> Once he is dead, stay on the path, but follow it like a big U-turn rather
than going over to the archway, and you will run past a green rune
triumvirate (which you can ignore), and up to a rockface with a ledge in
it, which you need to climb. Jump, tap B, then Up again.
> Once you are here, use RB on the boulder to activate it, and then LS Down,
tap X, LS Down, tap Y and the boulder will roll down and smash its way
through the archway for you.
> Activate the green rune triumvirate up here, then drop back down to the
cave floor below, activate the green rune triumvirate there, and then run
back to the archway to activate the third and final green rune triumvirate
and earn yourself a health boost.
> Head through the archway to get a ...
--- CUTSCENE ---
Conan enters the chamber to the calls of the Tribesmen who say "the Woman is
OURS" (shyeah RIGHT !!). A'Kanna (GO GIRL !!) boots one of them in the chops
and chides the others, saying they should come closer so that she can kick
their teeth in ... we love her :)
--- END CUTSCENE ---
> Take out the Witch Doctor and the 3 Tribal Warriors, and then 2 Gorillamen
enter the fray !! Slay them as well, and then you get another
--- CUTSCENE ---
An extra Gorillaman springs into action, grabs A'Kanna and jumps down a huge
drop with her in his arms ... filthy BEAST.
--- END CUTSCENE ---
> Use the green urn on the ledge to the right if you need to, and take the
sword or shield that are on the same ledge if you like. Then, when you
are ready, drop down in pursuit of A'Kanna and the Gorillaman that took her.
> Take out the 2 Gorillamen in this first area, and smash the small pillars
that glow slightly green and have skulls set into them for some probably
much-needed health.
> There is also a green urn here which you might well want to use.
> When you are ready to proceed, go over to the bright, sparkly chain that
seems to be holding up the wall of skulls, and strike it with your weapon.
Then press RB, and finally tap B to pull a chunk of it away and reveal a
gateway for you to go through.
> You drop off a ledge and into a large chamber, only to realise you have been
pursued by 2 Witch Doctors and 2 Tribal Warriors !! "You've come back for
more ?" Conan asks (and I agree - we've whupped the TAR outta these guys
before - let's show 'em how it's done !! G'wan) :)
> Once they are dead, head around to the left, and take out the Gorillaman
Lobber (a new type of enemy for you - basically a white-furred Gorillaman
that picks up boulders from the earth itself to lob against you) - attack
him with strong attacks and crowd him to try and get him to back off to
give you the edge in combat and beat that mutha DOWN.
> Once he has fallen, run up the slope beside him and take out the Gorillaman,
(preferably by using your magic spell), and then venture into his cave to
free the buxom beauty and use the blue urn to replenish your magic energy.
There is another attack coming your way so be prepared to be ambushed by
another Witch Doctor and a Tribal Warrior. Once they are dead, head to the
right and use the green urn there.
> Save using the blue stone, and then head back down the slope, taking out the
Gorillaman and 2 Tribal Warriors that try and ambush you AGAIN from behind,
and picking up the green urn if you need to.
> Keep heading around to the left, taking out ANOTHER Gorillaman, and you will
at last come to a red-headed buxom beauty, and another chain in the wall.
Save her, then slash and pull the chain (RB, tap B), and go through the
gate you create to do battle with YET ANOTHER Gorillaman (there is a blue
urn in his cave), and then head down the slope, hugging the black river
as there is SO obviously another Gorillaman waiting in ambush there for you
it's UNREAL.
Slay him, and enter his cave to obtain a Treasure Chest and a blue urn.
> Continue further into the area, and just behind the blue rune triumvirate
you will find another Gorillaman lying in ambush. Take him out and then
rescue the buxom beauty here (she's just to the right of his cave). Ignore
the blue rune triumvirate at this time.
> Jump up the ledge beside her (jump, tap B, then Up again) to reach the next
ledge above you. Here, take out the Gorillaman that will try and ambush
you, and then turn and run towards the camera and over the bridge, slaying
the Gorillaman Lobber and picking up the blue urn and the green urn as you
go.
> Head over to the boulder, and take out the additional Gorillaman that tries
to ambush you (FOOLISH beast). Use RB on the boulder, then LS Down, tap X,
LS Down, tap Y to unsettle the boulder, and send it crashing down towards
a structure below you.
> Run down the slope after the boulder and dispose of the Gorillaman Lobber
that comes out of the cave on your left. There is a second blue rune
triumvirate in the building that you just knocked a huge chunk out of with
the boulder, but again we must ignore it at this time.
> Slay the large number of enemies that come at you from the right (including
Witch Doctors, Tribal Warriors and 2 Gorillamen), and then run to the right
and back across the open area, to reach the first blue rune triumvirate,
which I STILL do not want you to activate yet. Grumpy, aren't I ;)
From there, move to the detailed structure immediately to Conan's right, and
the head to the right of it, and the camera will pan. As the camera pans,
head directly towards yourself - i.e. into the camera, and keep coming
down until you reach what looks like a poorly-placed section of tiling on
the floor - it looks almost like a bigass jigsaw piece to be a bit more
elaborate.
From there, head left, and you will find a blue urn, a statue with a bit of
green energy in it, and a shield on the floor. Use whatever you wish, and
then keep heading left, and over into the nearby cave, using both the green
urns if you wish.
Once you have done all the OTHER actions you might want to do here, activate
the blue rune triumvirate (1/3), and then double-back on yourself to the
rune triumvirate we found first in this cave and activate that (2/3), and
then finally head left and into the structure you destroyed, to turn on the
third and final blue rune triumvirate (3/3), and earn another level to your
magic energy bar.
> In this structure you can also avail yourself of a green urn should you wish
to. Once you're ready, use RB on the chain and then tap B repeatedly to
lock it into position, and open up the door to allow you to proceed.
> Be aware that as you approach the door to get through, you are going to be
ambushed by 2 Witch Doctors, 1 Gorillaman, and 1 Gorillaman Lobber, so be
prepared.
> Once they are defeated, pick up and lob as many of the boulders that are
blocking your path through the door as you need to (whilst A'Kanna tells you
that she is in there, and that they are going to sacrifice her to their
Elephant God - TELL US SOMETHING WE *DIDN'T* KNOW LOVE !!!!!), and then head
through - the door is a standard RB, LS Up, LS Down, LS Up combo.
