Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus - All Mudokons Rescued - Part 003 - Mudanchee Vaults
1You'll quickly get a tutorial where you can test the abilities of a possessed Scrab. They're more limited in Gamespeak and ability than the Paramite, but where you place them after disposession is more important because of their speed. Neither the Paramites, nor the Scrabs are killed after dispossession.
This first test will show you how to kill Fleeches (and indeed other Scrabs) as a Scrab. Slap the lock at the end and proceed.
The next screen has you running in the background from Fleeches before slapping a lock. Use the Invisibility on the screen with the Chant Blocker (Invisibility will activate) then run through to the end.
In the next area head up when the background suggests to do so and kill the Fleech using possession then slap the trap. Use the Invincibility on the small platform above the Fleeches then run to the end and get the second switch to open the exit.
In the next area head right and possess the Scrab. Gather your power then quickly kill the Scrab to the left, get more power and kill the Scrab to the right and then Fleech. Head all the way left to trap the Scrab then use Abe to finish the level.
After a couple of screens you'll see bottles at the bottom, roll to the left and find the secret area. Chant to open the Portal then Run Jump over the Scrab and through the Portal. I do the next area a riskier way, but it's worth trying if you're quick enough.
Get the Mudokons to drop down before pressing the lever then drop down and have them follow you left before activating the drills. Have them wait then quickly get past them and roll under the higher one. Hit the switch as it's moving left past you then chant. Manipulate the Fleeches on the way back up the left hand side so that they drop down and then you can head across and leave.
Head through the Bird Portal and reach the actual Vaults. There's 6 short levels then a final trial. Most of the areas in this game will now take a hub level approach with you being able to to do them in pretty much any order.
I'll always number them in the order I take them, regardless of whether that's right or not.
I head through the leftmost foreground door first.
Head down first and into the foreground. Lure the Fleeches underneath and head up then right to slap the trap and leave this part.
Head left and you'll find a secret at the bottom by dropping down behind a big foreground rock stuck to nothing.
Use the Well to survive running past the Scrab and hop in the portal.
Now you'll need to be quick, one of the secrets with the hardest to perfect timing. Hop across to the left quickly then possess the Scrab and depossess once he's behind the barrier on the right, then hit the switch. Hit the next one after telling the Mudokons to follow you and you should save them from the drill. Now head to the first platform stop below you and quickly command all of them to follow you - two or three presses of follow me might be required. Tell them to wait once safe from the drill then grab everyone and free them.
Slap the second switch then quickly exit the level by avoiding the Fleeches.
Now I use the rightmost of the foreground doors.
Head right and manipulate the Fleeches so you have enough time to nab the Invisbility, but try saving it until you're on the screen with the Scrab to quickly slap the trap and exit.
In the second part you'll need to head left over the Scrab and into the well to nab the first lock and Invisiblity. Then jump into the right well and use the Invisibility in the foreground to exit.
Now I head into the background and take the bottom door.
Quite a difficult one to describe, as it's quite quick, but you'll slap three locks by running past Fleeches and then find a Scrab. Don't slap the Lock until the Scrab is on the left so you can run and leave easy enough.
Next up the right foreground Vault.
I don't do the first part the intended way, killing the Fleeches is probably the intended way, but I just sneak then run after slapping the trap and use Invisibility at the top to ensure I leave alive.
Second part is rather long to.
Hit switch to release Fleeches, kill with Scrab on right. Trap Scrab on left. Enter background release Fleeches. Head back to foregorund release Scrab and have it follow you. Possess background Scrab kill Fleeches. Leave it at left. Return and trap Foreground Scrab on Left. Slap Trap, free Scrab use Invisibility as you jump onto bridge to end level.
I'll continue the rest of the description with additional timestamps in the pinned comment.
