Oddworld: Soulstorm Mudokon guide — Slig Barracks, Necrum, and The Mines

Level 11: The Mines

The Mines level also has lots of Mudokons, but I believe it’s one of the easier stages in Oddworld: Soulstorm.

You’ll be activating lots of switches here to activate machinery and cable cars until you reach the exit.

• Mudokons: 47
• Required for 80%: 38

Mudokon #1 to 9

You’ll spot three Mudokons that you can’t save yet. That’s because you’ll need to loop around the area to find six more workers. After activating the switch, the rolling spike traps will also have power. Use the gaps to avoid them. Once you’ve got nine Mudokons following you, take them to the portal to help them escape.

Note: Avoid making Mudokons follow you if there’s a depowered piston nearby. Even if the piston has no power, it’ll automatically kill Mudokons that touch it.

Mudokon #10 to 15

You’ll find half a dozen Mudokons in the next section. You’ll need to help them cross gaps filled with pistons.

Mudokon #16 to 20

In another part, what do you think you’ll find? Yep, more things that can crush you. There’s also a work wheel that you can turn until it’s fully green. This will prevent the machine from ramming your followers as they’re climbing down.

Mudokon #21 to 30

A few Mudokons are out in the open, but the rest are working on a scaffolding. The moment you get them to follow you, that’s when a giant spike begins to drop down. There are also explosive crates at the bottom, because why not? Try to be at the right-hand side of the screen and, with a bit of luck, your pals should be able to get to safety before they’re crushed or blown up to smithereens.

Mudokon #31 to 35

There’s a machine here with spikes and flamethrowers. It’s moving sideways, but you can use the gaps to avoid unnecessary deaths.

The remaining Mudokons are further to the right past the machine. But, you do need to bring them all back to the left since that’s where the portal is.

Mudokon #36 to 42

You’ll discover a walkway with a gigantic crusher, laser walls, and several slap mines.

Make your Mudokons wait a bit further back, disable the mines, then get them to follow you.

The next section has some crate elevators that have a few Slig mobs. It also leads to the exit. For some strange reason, I think I must’ve missed out on the last five Mudokons.

At the very least, I was still able to reach the 80% requirement for The Mines level in Oddworld: Soulstorm. Anyway, let’s talk about my favorite level in the game: The Sanctum.
