I translated this document from my Dutch walkthrough after that one was
complete. Everything you see is new and the FAQ will not be updated anymore
unless the Dutch FAQ is also updated.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This document is a translation of my other Dutch walkthrough. While
translating I did not play the game anymore, so it is possible that some
translations (Especially names for items, locations, etcetera!) are not
entirely correct. Read the tips below before you start the game and use this
walkthrough. These remarks contain valuable information about using this FAQ
or the game.
In many levels you’ll be playing side by side with other characters, which
often carry weapons of themselves. If you run out of ammunition or if you
think your weapon is worse than the weapon of another character, you can talk
to that person by looking at him and pressing A. By pressing A again the
weapon will be handed to you. If you had a weapon yourself, it will be traded
with the person you took the weapon from.
Next to shooting weapons you’ll find bones and spears at many locations.
Spears are not unlimited unfortunately, when you pick them up and throw them
they will not reappear at their original position. Bones do that though, you
can pick them up and throw them as many times as you want. Bones do less
damage than spears though, so if there are enough spears they are always the
better choice.
When you complete a level you won’t have any points yet. By replaying levels
you will earn points, which enable you to unlock extras. Those extras indicate
how many points you need to get them. Every level will start with a standard
amount of base points and by killing enemies and completing the level more
successfully you will earn positive points. By getting hit and using weapons
you will lose points and the difference will determine your final score.
The Xbox 360 Achievements are all pretty straight forward. In the game itself
you can’t directly see how you earn them, on the official Xbox web site
there’s a short description added to them. The bad news is that the
Achievements won’t be unlocked at the time you expect them to. At certain
points in the game it will be checked whether you’ve met certain demands and
based on that you will get the Achievements or not. So don’t panic when you
don’t unlock an Achievement, after playing and writing this walkthrough I
unlocked them all.

Carl Denham is a movie director who has had little success lately. For his new
movie he takes a big risk and travels to the unknown Skull Island with a full

trouble with the boat and a few people of the group leave to explore the
island.
Soon they find out it’s not all what it seems and that the natives worship a
giant gorilla. They capture Ann Darrow and sacrifice her to King Kong. What

\ A / THE VENTURE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’re standing on a small boat and first you have to decide how to look up
and down, normally or inverted. Look up by moving the right analog stick
forward to do this, you’ll then get the question whether to change it or to
leave it like that. Choose whatever plays the best for you. Then you’ll have
plenty of time to move the camera with these settings and to look around while
the boats approach the island. After a while a big rock will come falling down
and it will knock you out.
___
/_3_\_______________
\ B / SKULL ISLAND /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You will wake up with Ann’s face above you and you need to use the left analog
stick to get up. Use this moment to get used to the other controls, it might
not be so convenient to do that during a more intense part of the game. The
other characters will talk to each other for a bit and eventually they’ll
enter a dark cave after walking up some stairs. Ann will make some light and
Hayes offers you a weapon. To accept it from him, walk up to him and press A
to focus your attention on him and then A again to receive the weapon. You can
aim with the left trigger (LT) and fire the weapon with the right one (RT). If
you want you can turn on the reticule in the options section of the pause
menu, you won’t have it automatically. You need to use the weapon right away,
because crabs will come up from the water behind the sticks. Hayes will fire
at them as well, don’t waste your ammunition by only shooting at the crabs
that come too close. A few crabs will stay in the water, lure them out by
heading further out into the water bit by bit while backtracking every now and
then. When all the crabs are dead Hayes will make a comment about it.
He will continue through the cave and the water with Ann. Follow them to the
other side and take care of the crab coming from the left if Hayes doesn’t do
that before you. On the other side is a fence made of sticks, break through it
by hitting it three times with the right trigger. Continue outside and follow
the group to a large gate with some poles and sticks. Grab the extending stick
from one of the two large poles and wait until Hayes gets hold of the other
one. Begin to turn on his command, you will walk around the pole and the gate
will open while Carl shoots some footage of Ann. After the scream and the
reaction to that a bunch of crabs will come out of the sea and towards you.
Shoot them with a well aimed shot and of course take out the closest one
before you switch to another one. After this wave of small crabs a much larger
one will come at you that needs more shots to be defeated. The crab will
sometimes lean back while it roars, that’s your chance to hit its weak spot on
its bottom. This will do more damage and save bullets. If the crab gets to
close to you or the other characters it is of course necessary to fire more
bullets.
Don’t forget to reload your gun manually to prevent it from happening
automatically at the wrong time. As soon as the crab is defeated you need to
help Hayes to open the gate fully. When it is open, follow him and the rest
through the tunnel in the cave. Once at the water Englehorn will show up in an
airplane. After the short stop on the rocks here you have to descend more,
where you’re told about the presence of a hanging crate. Knock it down with
the right trigger and switch your pistol for the shotgun. Continue and kill
the crab that emerges from the rocks before he can hurt anyone. Ahead is a
gate you need to break through, once done the crabs behind it will attack you.
Try to hit a few crabs at once with your shotgun to save ammunition. As soon
as the danger is gone, help Hayes open another gate by turning the poles, but
this time you need to first pick up the handle on the ground between the gate
and one of the poles. Use RT to put it in the pole without a handle and grab
on to it to open the gate with Hayes’ help. Then follow the group over the
rocks along the cliff.
___
/_3_\_____________
\ C / NECROPOLIS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When you continue just a bit you will see the other small boat with another
team on board. Ignore the open crate and walk over the small bridge across the
water. In the corner you can find a skeleton where you can use RT to pick up a
bone. You can throw the bone with the same button before you can fire your
weapon again. Throw the bone at the crate a bit higher up (By first holding LT
and then using RT!), it will fall down so that you can pick up the fully
loaded shotgun. Follow Carl through the small tunnels between the rocks until
you end up in a more open area with a burning torch in the middle. Grab a
spear just in front and to the left of it using the familiar button and hold
it in the fire by using RT without LT. Now that the spear is burning you can
hold it inside the bushes to the left in the same way. They will burn down so
that a new exit becomes available. Walk through it and you’ll get to a cave
where Carl will film some more. But soon you get attacked by millipedes
emerging from the walls, use your shotgun to keep them away from you and
others while constantly looking around to avoid being attacked from the rear.
If you’re running out of ammunition you can get another weapon from Hayes or
pick up the spears. After the first wave of enemies Carl will continue to
film, after which a smaller second wave will appear. Defeat them the same way
and follow the rest of the group when they move on through another long
tunnel. On your way you’ll get attacked by millipedes, so take care of them
before they hurt anyone and continue through the tunnel. Eventually you’ll end
up outside and be introduced to flying dinosaurs as your new enemy. Let him
fly away and first take out the two millipedes that come up to you. Then
approach the spot where the dinosaur is hanging and shoot him down. Ahead is a
small walking board across a ravine. Quickly run over it without falling down,
the board will fall down behind you. Ann will then start to climb along the
wall to the top, but millipedes are out to get her. There’s a new crate here
with a pistol inside, use it to shoot away the millipedes before they can hurt
Ann. As soon as she is safely on the other side you can turn around and walk
across about three more boards to head upstairs yourself and reach Ann.
Be careful and don’t stand on the boards too long. In the next area there are
two more millipedes and one flying dinosaur. Shoot down the dinosaur so that
it falls to the ground, after which the millipedes will shift their attention
to this fallen enemy and make an easy target out of themselves. Grab a spear
at the bottom of the first ramp or ask the one Ann is holding and stick it
into the fire ahead. Quickly throw it into the bushes while burning so that
you’ll also set the upcoming millipedes on fire. Kill them if you notice that
they survived the fire. Ann will start climbing again, protect her by shooting
the millipede. Ann will warn you, so turn around and shoot down the two flying
dinosaurs. Move around to prevent the situation where one of them attacks you
while you’re after the other one. Move through the gate after defeating them
and pick up a bone immediately to the left. In the next hallway there are a
bunch of spiders that prevent you from passing through. More to the right are
some other creatures between the bones. Use your bone to kill one of those
creatures, which will make the spiders go over there so that you can walk out
of this level.
___
/_3_\____________
\ D / SCORPIONS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow Ann through the tunnels until you see some more light and able to pick
up spears. Quickly grab one and use it to throw at the oncoming flying
dinosaur. Then you can continue to follow her while climbing rocks and walking
between them. Ahead the route is blocked by bushes, but Ann will start to
climb again to get to the fire. Meanwhile you have to use bones and bullets to
keep the flying dinosaurs away from her. As soon as she is up there she’ll
throw down a burning spear so that the bushes will vanish, after which you can
continue into the water to swim further. Ann will kill the creatures in the
water, approach her at the end so that she helps you out of the water. If you
can still see animals in the water you can use them with the spears on the
shore for some extra points. In the next area a flying dinosaur is hanging on
the rocks, try to take him out from as far away as possible.
Make use of the spears while following the route to take out a new type of
enemy and eventually reach a torch. Use a spear to burn down the bushes next
to it and take care of the slow new enemies that will come down the hill.
Watch out for a possible millipedes coming from the other side. Also burn down
the bushes on the hill and follow Ann when she heads up there. You can see
enemies next to you, but they can’t harm you right now. Run further until you
get to the bushes, then hit the fire lamp above it so that it falls into the
bushes and you can continue. Ahead you will meet up with Carl en Hayes and the
latter will tell you he has a sniper rifle. Look in his direction and press A
twice to get it from them. Turn around and use the new weapon to shoot down
some millipedes with a single shot. As soon as they are defeated you can
follow Ann across the new small bridge.
___
/_3_\___________
\ E / THE WALL /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Break through the barricade in front of you and shoot the millipede coming out
from directly behind it and attacking you. Move outside a bit more and take
down the flying dinosaur. Head to the right to get up on the platform and
shoot both fire lamps from there to burn down the larger part of the bushes.
Equip yourself with a spear and start your way down by going around on the
left. Take out the scorpions on your way with a well aimed spear and descend
to the lower area, where a flying dinosaur will show up but will focus it’s
attention on the dead scorpions so that it is easy to take out. Take care of
all the enemies in this area and don’t forget to get the new sniper rifle from
the crate in the middle. Follow Ann along a route on which you have to jump
down and walk across some boards. In the next area you can’t continue right
away because of some bushes. First take down both flying dinosaurs, with a
little luck the other enemies will move towards their bodies. Take this chance
to burn them all by shooting all the fire lamps. This also enables you to
continue, use the bones to kill the remaining scorpions. Follow the route
along the right and follow Ann until she gets to another large gate where
she’ll start climbing again. This time there aren’t any enemies to keep away
from her. Ann will open the first gate, so swim through the first pool of
water and also dive into the next pool while Ann moves on two open the second
gate. Behind the door a bunch of natives are waiting for you. Let them hit you
by swimming closer to them, which will end the level.
___
/_3_\____________
\ F / SACRIFICE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
At the beginning of the level you can’t do anything but look around. You’re
tied up and unable to move around because of that. So watch the scene that
unfolds in which Ann is sacrificed to the star off the game. King Kong himself
will show up for the first time and he takes Ann with him. A bit later Carl
will show up again and he will free you from your uncomfortable situation.
Walk up to him, then past him to descend along the rocks bit by bit. A little
further the natives will discover your escape and they’ll start throwing
burning spears at you. The goal is to run away from the large wall and reach
the jungle on the other side. The path can be a little unclear, but if you
manage to keep an eye on Carl it will be much easier. Eventually Carl will
start to film where you can also see King Kong in the background. He will
sneak into a crevice on the side quite suddenly, so follow him through this
and beyond. He will stop at another large gate and starts to film on the left.
Quickly grab a bone or spear from the ground and throw it against the fire
lamp to the left of the gate. This will make the grass burn and a new kind of
enemy, a fast but still pretty small dinosaur, will die because of this if he
stands inside it. If not, then you have to find another throwing weapon as
fast as possible to hit the creature with it a couple more times. Then take
care of possible other enemies that come up to the body. Now you still have to
open the gate, but you’ll need the handle to stick into the pole to be able to
rotate it. Stand with your back to the gate and walk straight ahead. There is
a wooden pole in the ground there and ahead and to the right of it is the
handle against the wall. Pick it up, put it inside the pole where there isn’t
one already and rotate it until the gate is open. Carl will continue, so
follow him while he’s saying he needs to change his film. Approach the torch
in the small building to finish up here.
___
/_3_\___________________
\ G / ON KONG’S TRACKS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You have to follow Carl, still unarmed. He’s standing ahead at the end of the
small rock path and when you reach him he’ll traverse through a large part of
jungle, along plants and caves, until he finally puts down his camera again to
film King Kong. On your way you can’t really get lost and you also won’t be
attacked, follow Carl as soon as he continues again. He’ll move to a passage
through which you can get to the wide path quite a distance behind King Kong.
He will start the pursuit and of course you have to run after him. At the top
of some stairs you’ll come to a more open area with spears, a dead dinosaur
and also a flying one. Grab a spear right away, because not much later a very
large flying dinosaur will show up and take off with Carl. Throw the spears as
fast but as accurately as possible to do much damage at this point, there’s
also a skeleton in the ground and you can take on unlimited amount of bones
from it. As soon as the larger one is gone, kill the smaller dinosaur flying a
bit more to the right and on your route.
Continue up to the torch and head to the left and down there to walk through
the water and smash through a fence. On the other side of the passage you need
to pick up a spear, because when you continue you’ll be attacked by a walking
dinosaur. Take him out with one throw and then approach the pile of bones at
the top of the hill to arm yourself again, there are two more of those
creatures walking around. Kill them with the available bones and spears and
follow the route along some open spaces up the hill to an area with a rock
bridge and a wooden walkway next to it. Two flying dinosaurs will come your
way, throw them out of the sky with a spear and arm yourself before you
approach the narrow wooden walkway. You have enough time to get to the other
side, but you need to stay exactly in the center to avoid falling down. At the
other side you’ll be ambushed by two flying dinosaurs. Take one of them down
with your current weapon and then quickly run past them to take shelter in the
cave.
If you want you can turn around and pick up the spears outside to take out the
still living creatures. Make sure you pass through the next passage armed,
where you find a large nest guarded by a large amount of flying dinosaurs.
When you look to the right you can see a hanging crate, there’s a weapon
inside it. Before you get there you’ll be attacked by three flying creatures
on your way. There’s a pile of bones halfway there you can use as a weapon,
throw them one by one and take shelter inside the passage you came out of if
necessary. After killing the first three enemies you can take down the crate
with a bone and pick up the shotgun. Continue a bit more and you’ll see
another wooden walkway around the rocks to the right of them, use it to get to
the other side. Walk up the hill and through the grass to get to the nest.
Quickly run to the other side and pick up a normal pistol from the crate,
you’ll need the shotgun later. Keep moving with your gun aimed and shoot at
the flying dinosaurs that attack you. It’s harder to hit them when they’re
just flying around and there’s always one that is attacking you.
As soon as there are two left the large flying dinosaur that flew away with
Carl will show up. Quickly run back to where you left the shotgun pick it back
up so that you’re armed with it. The large flying enemy will swoop over you.
Hit it right in the face just before it’s about to hit you, which does the
most damage and will also stop the attack. Repeat this until the shotgun is
empty or the creature defeated, in the first scenario you can always pick up
the pistol again or a bone or a spear. As soon as the large beast goes down
you can take out the possible other smaller versions. Then follow Carl to
where you came from, this time across the rocks. In the next area with the
rock bridge you’ll come to two flying enemies, there are bones to kill them
with and you can also go back to the safe passage. Eventually you need to head
over the rock bridge and follow the route while following Carl. In the grass
area two dinosaurs will show up, shoot or throw them down and follow the route
back to the torch next to the waterfall. Left of the torch is a gate, you can
only open it with two people by turning the poles. Continue through to finish
this level.
___
/_3_\________
\ H / HAYES /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow Carl as usual and pick up one of the bones from the pile on the left
after you exit the building. Follow Carl along the cliff, ahead you will
encounter spiders. They will not harm you and currently you don’t have to pay
attention to them. Walk behind Carl who goes left and you’ll end up in an area
with eating dinosaurs. Listen to what Carl has to say and follow him closely,
he will cross through the area and enter a shelter on the other side. In the
back left are stairs, go up there and use your bone to throw down the flying
dinosaur sweeping over and sitting down on the pillar. The other two dinosaurs
will go and check it out. When you look down and to the left you will see a
patch of grass. The goal is to get both dinosaurs into that grass. Do that by
going downstairs and lure them to the opening of the shelter on the right by
walking outside there. Quickly head back upstairs, grab a spear and hold it
into the fire. Throw the spear into the grass where the dinosaurs are
hopefully still standing quickly and you’ll kill them both easily this way.
If this doesn’t work you can also fire at them, to the left from the shelter
is a hanging crate you can open for a pistol. There’s also a pile of bones you
can throw just outside the shelter. As soon as the enemies here are defeated
you will find a large gate next to the dead dinosaur on which the others were
feeding and you will need to open this gate. Find a spear, set it on fire
using the torch above the shelter and run straight ahead from there, along the
gate and to a room behind some pillars. You can only get there after burning
down the bushes and you will find the first handle in the corner, place it in
one of the two poles at the gate. Return to the hideout and kill one of the
larvae by pinching it to your bone or spear. Backtrack a bit to where the
spiders were on the wall, where you walked past earlier. Throw the spear a bit
away from the spiders, close enough so that they will move over to the dead
creature on your spear.
This will give you the opportunity to pick up the handle where the spiders
were sitting on and stick it in the other pole at the gate where Carl is still
standing. Grab one of the handles and turn it around, Carl will do this at the
other pole so that the gate will open. In the space behind it there are some
boxes a bit to the left, one has a shotgun and another one a pistol. The
pistol has more ammo, so take that one along and follow Carl down a stairs and
through a small tunnel where you can see a large millipede. Shoot it and jump
into the water behind it. You have to follow the route through the water, but
you’ll be attacked by centipedes multiple times along the way. Make sure you
get to the higher points in the water, only from there can you shoot or use
bones picked up along the way. Ahead on the left you can go up a hill and out
of the water, follow the route through the caves and take out another
millipede. Eventually you’ll come to a bigger open area where you’ll also meet
Hayes. You can only go left here, between the thorn bushes and into the water.
On the other side there are two dinosaurs, wait for them to leave and then
quickly run out of the water and straight ahead into a small cavern.
Every time you go outside both dinosaurs will show up again, but there are
more small tunnels in the rocks so that you can hide there. Make your way
through the area clockwise using those caverns and go through the arch in the
rock and into the water to reach Hayes after climbing a stairs. Focus on him
by pressing A when looking at him and then press A again to get the machinegun
from him. Next to him a third dinosaur will appear, quickly open fire and keep
shooting while taking distance after the dinosaur comes your way. As soon as
this creature is defeated you can head back and kill off the two dinosaurs
that gave you a hard time earlier on. Return to the platform across from
Hayes. Grab a spear, light it with fire and throw the spear into the bushes to
the right of the platform Hayes is on to burn them down and give Hayes the
opportunity to get to the gate with Carl. When getting out of the water, first
walk straight ahead to find the handle you need to stick into the pole at the
gate. With that in place, turn open the gate with Hayes. Follow the route
behind it and wade through the water for a pretty long time to end the level
inside the building with the torch.
___
/_3_\________
\ I / V-REX /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow the route behind Carl and Hayes and you’ll find a box inside another
small building after turning slightly to the left. Pick up the other
machinegun here to refill your ammunition. Continue and you’ll find Carl and
Hayes in an open area, with Preston and his group higher up on a walkway. Not
much later an enormous dinosaur will show up. Don’t fire a single bullet at
it, it’s a waste of your ammunition. After a short while the large beast will
come your way, so quickly turn around and run even quicker through the opening
in the wall. Carl and Hayes will start to open a gate. Stand with your back to
it and you’ll see the dinosaur smash through the wall and come up to you.
Quickly grab a bone from the skeleton near the wall on the left. The big
dinosaur is not allowed to attack Carl and Hayes, so you need to keep his
attention focused on you. Throw the bone at him or take down one of the two
flying dinosaurs.
When it is chasing you, run underneath the arch or around the other small
walls. Keep this up until the gate is open, run through it when this happens.
Continue to the back left corner, where you need to run through some pillars
and sit in the water as far back as possible. The big monster will smash the
pillars, but it can not reach you and leave after a while. When the coast is
clear, head back out and diagonally to the left. There’s a pole next to the
opening the dinosaur made, get the handle out of it and return to the point
where you started running from the monster. After some talking Hayes will help
you to turn open the gate after putting the handle inside the pole without a
lever. Continue to the spot where the other group was, nobody can be seen
there. Try to cross using the small boards, this will make you fall down.
Follow the ramp up a little and walk through the rocks into the next level.

\ J / ANN /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The route is obvious at the beginning, follow it to a set of spears left of
the path and use one of them to bring down the hanging crate ahead, change
your current weapon to the machinegun inside with complete ammunition. A
little ahead you will get to an open area where there are quite a few enemies
running around, both on the ground as in the sky. Shoot the flying dinosaur
and walk into the grass. All the walking dinosaurs will go to the body of the
dead flying creature, so they’re easy to mow down with your machinegun. Cross
over to the other side of the area, where you suddenly meet Ann on the large
tree. You have to walk around some bushes here so that you can follow Ann
along the cliffs. Ahead you’ll be standing next to her without being able to
get to her, where she’s attacked from all sides by dinosaurs. Keep them away
from them by shooting at them and reload at calm moments. When Ann starts to
move again, also continue along the edge and keep up with her. On the other
side you have to keep the enemies off of her, after which a lot of walking and
flying dinosaurs will also target you. Use your machinegun first and when it’s
empty, pick up the gun to the right of where you came out. If this runs out of
ammunition as well there’s also another hanging crate with a shotgun inside
and some bones scattered around. Kill all the enemies attacking you this way
while moving and eventually a large flying dinosaur will take off with Ann,
after which King Kong shows up.

\ K / KONG /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You now have control over the big gorilla himself. Quickly engage the pursuit
by running forward. What you need to do is shown on screen if this hasn’t been
explained before. This means jumping with X, smashing around with A and
grabbing stuff and enemies with B. The route is pretty obvious, just pay
attention to where you can go and where not. King Kong can swing along trees,
climb along the rocks with vegetation on it and jump pretty far. Keep the jump
button available so that you can jump to continue at locations where you can’t
go any further on foot. Ahead in the level you’ll be attacked by smaller
flying dinosaurs. Smash them away or grab them to defeat them and quickly
continue your pursuit when they’re taken care of. Eventually you’ll come to a
higher point where Ann manages to escape and you need to find a larger flying
dinosaur. It will sweep towards you, but you need to stop this attack by
quickly pressing X and then A.
Then quickly press Y multiple times in a row to make Kong hit his chest and a
few smaller flying dinosaurs will show up. Get rid of them by smashing them or
pulling them from your back with B when they’re sitting there. Prepare for the
next sweep of the large flying dinosaur and repeat this strategy until you are
told to finish it off. Repeatedly press A or the other indicated button to
really kill the beast. Then head towards the gate, remove the blockade by
pressing B repeatedly and then smash through it to be able to continue. Jump
and run a bit more to get Ann in sight, she’ll be chased by dinosaurs. Follow
them and smash them to the side. When Ann runs over the wooden little bridge
you need to climb along the walls on the right of the screen to get to her.
You’ll come to an area where Ann will keep running in circles because you’re
chasing her, you need to sprint shortly with the X button to reach her. Pick
her up with the B button as soon as you get close enough to her.

/_3_\_____________
\ L / THE CANYON /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’re playing this level with Jack again. Follow the obvious route to the
ravine, where there’s a crate ahead above the edge. Get it from the air to
find a new pistol again with new ammunition. Ahead is a cave with a wooden
walk bridge to the left of it. In the cave you can find bones to throw and a
lot of flying dinosaurs will attack you as soon as you put one step on the
bridge. Use a bone to take one down and quickly run back into the cave to pick
up another bone. Lure the dinosaurs towards you again and repeat this until
they’re all dead. Continue, ignore the passage to the right and follow the
route along the cliff. Past the wooden construction with the flying enemies
you can find a broken box where you can pick up a sniper rifle. Walk back a
little bit and at the wooden construction, which is actually a bridge, you
have to shoot all the flying dinosaurs by zooming in with the sniper rifle. If
you hit one they enemies around it will get scared and fly around for a while,
wait for them to hang on the bridge again and take them out as well. Now
carefully cross the bridge without falling down.
Once there you have to follow the cliff along the rocks and enter a tunnel
ahead to get into the water. A big herd of walking dinosaurs will pass by, you
have to follow the water along the route in the direction they come from.
You’ll be blocked by bushes in front of stone stairs. Look behind you to the
right and you’ll find some spears. More to the right is an altar with a torch
on it. Grab a spear, hold it into the fire and throw it into the bushes in
front of the stairs so that they burn away and you can access the stairs.
Follow the small edge along the rocks and along the peaceful dinosaurs until
you see a plane coming by in the air and get tot a wooden walkway. Carefully
cross it and head right past the waterfall. Get the crate from the air and
switch your old weapon against this fully loaded new sniper rifle. The route
will continue behind the waterfall, follow the tunnel and head to the water on
the left. Use a spear or bone and attach a larva to it, then throw it into the
water. The millipedes will reach for it, so grab this chance to kill them
before you head back into the water and follow it to the left.
Climb out on the other side and pick up a bone. Smash through the fence and
kill a millipede both left and right by throwing bones and getting new ones.
Also destroy the next fence and three more millipedes will emerge. Eventually
you have to walk through the water in the back left and down a stairs. Use a
spear to take care of a scorpion there. Ahead are more flying dinosaurs, take
care of them by sticking a larva to your spear next to the stairs and throw it
somewhere so that they move over to it and you can kill them. It might be
possible that you encounter another scorpion on your way, but eventually you
have to find a pile of bones in the back left. Pick one up and stick it into
the water to the right of it to attach a water creature to it. Walk over to
the entrance of the passage across from the bones with it and throw the spear
next to the spiders. They will move away so you can cross the boards. Do shoot
a millipede that attacks you as soon as you reach the other side.
___
/_3_\_____________
\ M / MILLIPEDES /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Walk directly straight forward to reach a fence, just smash through it and get
a new sniper rifle with full ammunition from the crate behind it. On the other
side are Carl and Hayes and after some talking they’ll be attacked by a couple
of millipedes. Shoot the hanging torch as soon as that attacks starts, so that
the bushes catch on fire and a large part of the millipedes dies in them. Look
at Hayes carefully and shoot the millipedes that come to close even though
he’s also shooting. Eventually Carl will open the passage through which they
can escape, a bunch of flying dinosaurs will come and eat from the dead
millipedes. Shoot them also for extra points and follow the new route to the
left of you. Keep running, past the wooden bridge to your right. Take shelter
in the room from the flying dinosaurs that guard the bridge and shoot them
through the window. Carefully cross the walking boards of the bridge to the
other side after you’ve defeated them all. Just before you reach the other
side you can find another crate, switch your sniper rifle for the new one
inside that crate. Stay on this platform and look down, where you can see Carl
en Hayes. A lot of crabs will appear, keep them away from your friends until
they finally continue. Then walk across the last board and follow the winding
tunnel to a larger cave.
First take out any possible flying dinosaurs and then shoot the hanging torch
ahead. This will make another standing torch burn as well. Stay on the stairs
and shoot all the millipedes before you descend. First smash through the gate
past the torch and lure three millipedes out of hiding. Kill them with the gun
to the right of the passage. Backtrack a little to grab a spear or bone and
keep it inside the torch. It will go out if you walk through the waterfall
with it, so throw it through the hole in the wall to the left of the
waterfall, then head to the gate and pick up the spear again. Walk over to the
right with it and follow the route to the next larger room. Quickly set the
bushes to your right on fire and fight against the enemies here. Shoot the
crabs, if you run out of bullets you can use the sniper rifle ahead in the
crate. As soon as the first way is defeated, walk over to the water between
you and Carl and Hayes. More crabs will come out of the water and millipedes
will also attack your friends. Shoot whatever you can hit and swim over to
Carl and Hayes. Defend their position, return to the corners where you burned
the bushes after all enemies have been defeated. You can find a handle here
used for the gate where Carl and Hayes are standing. Place the lever over
there and open the gate together with Hayes, than exit the level.

/_3_\_______________
\ N / BRONTOSAURUS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Walk into the tunnel until you end up outside, where the large dinosaurs are
passing by again. Wait for some space between two dinosaurs and then run after
Carl and Hayes to the other side. The route is blocked by bushes and Hayes
will say he saw some fire ahead. Stand with your back to the pillars and
continue straight and a bit to the right, between the dinosaurs. Time this
well and you’ll come to a hanging crate, take it down to get your hands on a
shotgun. Then you have to make a pretty long trip through the valley in the
direction the dinosaurs are also walking. On you way you’ll meet both large
and small meat eating dinosaurs. Stand still when you encounter them and try
to shoot them from as close by as possible before you continue. You’ll
eventually reach a hideout in the middle, from there you need to go to the
right and walk up some stairs and cross over some boards. Kill any possible
enemies when they appear and make your way to the burning torch ahead, along
the waterfall. Use the spears and bones to light the bushes around you and
make sure you set the bushes next to the not yet burning torch near the
previous stairs on fire. This will ignite the torch and supply you with fire
outside the waterfall.
Return to the newly lit torch, grab a bone and hold it into the fire to be
able to burn the bushes on the small path through the water. Then light the
not yet burning torch close by and burn down the bushes behind it. Stay on
your toes for enemies and take them out or hide when they show up. Between
this third torch and a pillar ahead is new ammunition for your shotgun. More
to the left is a dead creature, grab a bone there, set it on fire and head up
a stairs on the other side to light another torch. You need to head back even
further and light every torch you come to. This will enable you to always walk
around with a burning spear to burn down bushes and clear a way to where you
started the level. On your way there the large dinosaurs will start to move
again and you’ll be attacked by meat eating dinosaurs. Eventually you’ll get
to the hideout with pillars where Carl and Hayes also are, a dead big dinosaur
is on the ground. Burn the bushes inside there while the largest meat eating
monster appears again and starts to bash into the hideout. As soon as the
route is cleared by fire you can run out of the level after Carl and Hayes.

\ O / JIMMY /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Run straight ahead to get outside and you’ll come to two crates. The one on
the ground is empty, take down the one in the air to gain possession of a
sniper rifle. Descend more to the left and shoot the flying dinosaurs you can
see hanging in the distance. When you descend more a lot of smaller walking
dinosaurs will show up. Kill them before they can hurt you, Carl or Hayes and
descend bit by bit along the hill. Shoot down more flying dinosaurs, the
little ones will be attracted so that they’re easy to kill. Ahead you will
meet up with Jimmy, but you can’t see him yet. Follow the route until you do
see him and quickly shoot the enemies that attack him. They will come running
down the hill on the right, also on your side of the water. Keep shooting them
and take down the crate for extra ammunition when necessary. Eventually Jimmy
will get onto a raft and you need to follow the water along the shore.
Ahead you need to enter the water and walk up to a wooden gate. You’ll be
closed in and the door will open automatically. Take some distance and wait
for the small meat eating dinosaurs to come outside in groups and take care of
them quickly. The attack is ended with the appearance of a larger version of
the meat eating dinosaur. Count on the help of Carl and Hayes and when he’s
defeated you can walk through the gate and follow the route. The natives will
throw spears at you, take shelter where the others do that as well and
continue to run after the burning bushes are gone. Ahead you need to take
shelter again and wait a while, then cross to the other side over the big log.
The grass behind you will catch on fire, so quickly run, grab the new sniper
rifle and get onto the raft with Jimmy while shooting some little creatures.
Carl and Hayes will later take place on the second raft and you’ll drift out
of this level.
___
/_3_\______________
\ P / ON THE RAFT /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’re still on the raft with Jimmy, drifting along the river in an easy going
pace. Not much later millipedes will appear from multiple sides, keep them
away from you and the others by firing at them. Eventually you’ll come to a
bridge with natives on it and the millipedes will wait. Pay attention very
well and check out the situation. Many of the bridges that have natives on
them also have flammable bushes underneath them. There are bones on the raft,
you can hold them into the flame next to it and use them to burn down the
bushes near the bridges. This will make a bridge collapse and the natives will
fall into the water, which will lower the amount of spears thrown at you.
Meanwhile millipedes will continue to show up and also a flying dinosaur every
now and then. Just shoot them and switch between the actions required while
drifting along the river and across some waterfalls.
___

\ Q / RAPIDS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this level you’re still on the raft with Jimmy. Look behind the raft and
wait for a large meat eating dinosaur to show up on the left, the biggest one
in the game. Shoot him as soon as he really starts his attack, which will
cancel his attempt. Use your gun for this and repeat this whenever he attacks
again. If you run out of ammunition during this level you still have some
bones on board the raft. Eventually you’ll drift through an arch and the
dinosaur will have to let you go. There’s another one on the right, ignore it
and take down the flying dinosaur that approaches the raft from behind. Keep
ignoring the large dinosaurs, because more flying creates will show up in
larger groups. Take them all down and keep an eye on the dinosaur on the
right. The left one will also join in and you’ll have to watch them carefully
and determine what they’re planning to do. One of them will attack you when
you’re busy with the other one, so just throw a lot of bones at both of them
whenever you don’t know which one will attack you. Eventually one of the two
will attack you from the front, but you’ll be saved just in time.
___

\ R / FIGHT /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As King Kong you’re engaged in a fight with one of the two largest dinosaurs
from the previous level. First press B to drop Ann somewhere, which will make
fighting easier. Take some distance from your enemy and press Y consecutively
to become extra powerful if you manage to do this often enough before you get
hit. This way your hits will go in slow motion and you’re extra strong. Deal
out some heavy strikes with A and grab the monster every now and then with B
to be able to finish it off. Meanwhile Ann has taken off and is bothered at
another location by two other dinosaurs. Follow the route by first removing
the pillar at the gate by pressing B multiple times, then smash through the
gate and follow the route by jumping and swinging. At a next gate small
dinosaurs will attack you. Just smash them away and break through the gate to
be able to continue. Eventually you’ll come to Ann. Press Y again until you
get the extra strength and start your attack. Have your way with both enemies,
but always take on the one bothering Ann. If she dies the level will be over.
So protect her and kill off both large opponents by smashing and grabbing.

\ S / SWAMPS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
At the beginning of this level you will find a broken crate left on the ground
where you can pick up a pistol with ammunition. More to the right there’s
another crate hanging behind the bushes, you can get to it by picking up a
bone from the water to the left of the broken crate. Set it on fire at the
torch at the exact beginning of the level and burn down the bushes with it so
that you can get the sniper rifle from the crate. Follow the water the rest is
also standing in, but don’t move quickly. Ahead there’s an enemy in the water,
make sure you’re not already in the deep part of the water or you won’t be
able to take it out. When that is done you can exit the water on the other
side and a bit to the left. There’s a sleeping flying dinosaur hanging above
the water and in the water are multiple monsters. Take down the flying
dinosaurs and shoot at the monsters in the water while they attack the dead
body. Your team will then cross over, stay on the shore and shoot the enemies
that appear and attack the rest. When they’re on the other side it’s your
turn, so walk into the water and let Hayes take care of the water monsters
until you make it to the other side.
Walk through the tunnel and ahead you need to get into the water again. You
need to follow a long route in between stinging bushes and at multiple points
a few water monsters will come at you. Stay close to the group and help Hayes
to take them out, only move ahead when the rest is also moving and also take
out the flying dinosaurs. Eventually you’ll go out of the water in the back
left. Here you can also switch your weapon for a brand new sniper rifle.
Follow the route to an open area with a flying dinosaur and fire on an altar,
just shoot down the three hanging dinosaurs. When this room is also secure,
walk across the narrow wall to towards the fire. Shoot down the extra flying
dinosaur that comes by and hold a spear into the fire. Use it to set fire to
the bushes blocking the group at the edge of the water. They will wade through
the water, so it’s your job to shoot the water monsters and maybe another
flying dinosaur. Make sure the group arrives at the other side safely and then
go over there yourself. Walk with them and up the stairs.

\ T / CHASED BY V-REX /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Again you’re playing with King Kong and you need to keep the enemies away from
Ann right away. Kick some ass and when the coast is clear you need to walk up
to her and pick her up with the B button. Climb the column by pressing X when
standing next to it and put down Ann when you’re up there, again with the B
button. Jump down and take care of some more enemies, meanwhile Ann will burn
down some bushes with a spear. This will clear your route, so climb up using
the vines left of the column and follow Ann towards the screen. On your way
you’ll encounter more enemies, smack them away from you and continue and
descend along the waterfall. Ann will stand still ahead, so pick her up again
and with her in your hand jump up to the vegetation in the right of your
screen. Jump and swing ahead until you get to a steep rock wall where you need
to climb up. Defeat some flying dinosaurs up there, then climb the column to
the right with Ann still in your hand.
Put Ann down and wait for her to return with a spear, then pick her up again
and jump down. To the left is a gate you can smash, demolish it and put Ann
down over there so that she can run up to the flame and set the spear on fire.
When she returns you have to fight hard to defend her, but eventually you need
to pick her up again and climb the column to drop her over there again. She
will burn the blockades there, so that you can climb up along the back wall
and get away from here. Swing along the route after Ann and suddenly a large
meat eating dinosaur will show up and chase her. Just continue to follow the
route until you get to a blocked gate where you need to fight multiple
enemies, including one of those large dinosaurs. Try to charge your fury power
with the Y button and make short work of your enemy. Then press the B button
repeatedly to move the barricade at the gate and then smash through it.
Approach Ann at the other dinosaur to finish this section.

\ U / THE LOG /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
King Kong is pushing and pulling the log where you’re standing on with Jack.
You don’t have to do anything, it’s okay to fall down just like the rest.
Later you will wake up here again and when you can walk you need to head into
the water and follow it in the direction it’s flowing in. Ahead you will meet
up with the other three people and there will be some talking. As soon as Ann
starts yelling, follow the ridge on your side of the water until you get to
the end of the level.

\ V / THE SKULL ISLANDERS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You’re playing as King Kong again and you’ll be attacked by the natives, who
are throwing spears at you both from the left and right of the blocked gate.
You need to take them out before you can head through the gate. A little later
dinosaurs will show up. The game advices you to pick them up with the B button
and throw them into the natives, the bridges will collapse and the enemies are
defeated. You can also pick up the log and throw it at the natives. Now the
coast is clear you can repeatedly press the B button to remove the barricade
at the gate and then smash through it to get to the other side. Take Ann with
you in your hand and swing to a lower part where there’s a village of the
natives. Just smash them away and also demolish their buildings and other
constructions. Ahead you have to continue swinging until you get to some sort
of arena where people and flying dinosaurs will attack you. Put Ann down all
the way to the left and attack everything while she climbs up, picks up a
spear and uses it to burn down some bushes. Now you can climb the back wall
and get out of the arena, after which you grab Ann again and continue to
follow the route while climbing and swinging. You’ll be attacked by natives
along the way, but if you just follow the route you will take them out
automatically. At the end you will come to a blocked gate. Put Ann down and
use the B button to remove the barricade. A large dinosaur will come out of
the gate right away, but you don’t need to fight against it.
___
/_3_\______________
\ W / TO SAVE ANN /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Try to move through the water as fast as possible and ahead you will meet the
dinosaur from the previous level which is now chasing Ann. You need to walk
around the bushes to the left and follow a long route down to get to the same
level as Ann and the dinosaur. Then follow the stream and walk through it, so
that you move underneath the dinosaur which is trying to get Ann from inside
the building. Eventually you can exit the water to the right to some spears,
pick one up and throw it at the dinosaur to get its attention. Then you need
to continue following the stream while it is chasing you. You’ll come to an
open area with some ruin pillars. The dinosaur will go back to Ann after a
while and that’s what you want. Use the spears to get its attention when he
moves back towards Ann so that he constantly keeps chasing you. Meanwhile you
need to move through the ruins and run around them to keep away from him, but
sometimes he’ll destroy your cover so that you will need to move over to
another location. Eventually Ann will open the gate at the other side of the
field, where you need to run through as soon as you can. Follow the path along
the rocks and keep up your speed. Ann will climb up along the rocks ahead and
you need to reach the location above her before the dinosaur gets to her. Just
walk up to her and you’ll help her up, after which you can continue to follow
the route to get to Hayes and Jimmy. Then walk more into the building and
you’re done.

\ X / THE CAVE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this level you only need to follow the rest along the route. Wade through
the water and eventually you can see King Kong putting his hand into the cave
to grab Ann. He doesn’t succeed, but ahead Ann will climb up to greet him. You
need to take a detour and then you can see King Kong’s face through the
opening Ann is standing next to. Then move more to the right to finish this
level this soon.
___
/_3_\_______________
\ Y / VENATOSAURUS /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Walk ahead and up the stairs, when you get to the large open cave you need to
run straight ahead, also when your team doesn’t. At the top you will find
bones, grab one and use it to throw down the crate in the air on the rope. It
contains a shotgun, the crate next to it has a weapon that Hayes will pick up.
The hill will be stormed by meat eating dinosaurs and you need to protect the
rest and especially Ann by shooting them down with the shotgun. A lot of them
will show up and sometimes at the same time, so keep looking around and only
shoot from close range to do the most damage. Mainly keep standing on the
highest point between the ruins at the bones. When the attack stops you can
carefully walk down the stairs and into the direction where you came from,
which will make new enemies appear. A larger version of the dinosaurs you just
fought will show up and also two normal ones. The large one will attack the
two smaller ones, so quickly run back to your friends and keep defending this
position by shooting when the enemies come to close.
When eventually it’s safe again, move down the right side of the hill when
standing with your back to the gate. Head into the corridor while moving
through the small waterfall, which will lure out a dinosaur and two
millipedes. Use the spears there to kill them and head left right away to get
to a small room with a torch. Use a spear in combination with the fire to burn
down the grass below, which will instantly kill the dinosaurs and millipedes.
Throw down surviving enemies if there are any and jump down to find the lever
at the small stairs. Take it with you and move through the pillars in the back
right. Follow the route back through the waterfall and place the lever in the
pole next to the gate at the top of the hill. Now descend to the other side of
the hill and follow the tunnel through the rocks. In the room, smash through
the fence in the back right, a millipede will appear in the tunnel behind it.
Kill it and follow the tunnel a little further through the water to a dry spot
and then move through more water again. Exit in the back left and follow the
path towards a cave behind a waterfall. Jump down and quickly run to the fire,
where you’ll be attacked by crabs. Use your weapon or the bones next to the
fire to take care of them. As soon as they’re all gone, hold a bone into the
fire and throw it to the bushes to the right of the waterfall. This will light
up another torch over there, so walk back through the waterfall and take a
burning spear with you. Now you need to follow the entire route back while
encountering multiple millipedes. Shoot or throw to kill them and every time
you get to a torch you need to light it by taking a burning spear from the
previous one. Eventually this will enable you to get back to the large cave
carrying fire, so you’re able to burn down the bushes next to the gate. Hayes
and Jimmy will probably open the gate, but help out yourself if that’s not the
case. Walk through the gate and to the next small building.

/_3_\_____________
\ Z / IN THE MUD /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Continue to the open area. Quickly pick up a bone and keep standing here to
have enough bones to take out the two smaller dinosaurs. When that is done you
can find a crate with a machine gun from exactly behind the rock in the
middle. When you follow the route you need to go through a passage guarded by
spiders. Return to the bones, pick one up and stab one of the large
dragonflies to the side. Walk over to the spiders with it and throw it next to
them so that they move out of the way and you can continue to the fire. Grab a
spear and hold it into the fire, then quickly return to the group and set the
bushes on the left on fire and wait for the fire to go out so that you can
continue. Follow the route to half of a wooden bridge across the water. Jump
into the water at the end of it and quickly exit the water using the stairs.
Use the bones here to kill some water monsters which are out to kill the
others while they’re moving through the water. When they are with you again
you have to move through the rocks into the next cave and outside again. Move
through the water a bit and climb the submerged pyramid, which will make a few
flying dinosaurs come your way.
Use your machinegun or preferably spears and bones to already take down the
smaller ones. As soon as there are only two left and also the big one you have
to stand on the top of the pyramid, where you also use the available weapons
to hit the large enemy especially during its own attacks. When the opposition
is down you can descend on the other side when the rest is also doing that.
Walk through the water and when meat eating dinosaurs appear in front of you
multiple water monsters will show up behind you. Use the spears in the water
or your machine gun to kill them and protect the group. Also try to take out
the other dinosaurs from within the water, to the right just outside the water
there’s a sniper rifle inside a crate. Walk to the left into water again and
follow the route between the bushes to multiple fences in the water around the
building. The goal is to destroy them to find a route to the other side, you
can create this route yourself. Behind multiple fences there are water
monsters, so watch out when you continue. Eventually you can follow the route
to a steep stairs where the level will end.

\ a / CALL KONG /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You can already here the engine of the water plane and you can also see it
land on the water when you run outside after the rest. But when you approach
the plane the largest kind of dinosaur will appear, which forces the dinosaur
to leave. Then the dinosaur is out to get you, so quickly run after the group
and stay close to them. If you keep them in sight you can easily follow them
along a difficult route. If not, things might be a little trickier. You need
to go across multiple little stairs and along quite a lot of bushes to
eventually walk through a passage where the dinosaur can’t go through so that
you’re safe for a little while. After some talking, Ann decides to call for
King Kong by lighting some fire. While she is climbing you pick up the sniper
rifle to your right on the floor when looking at her.
The large dinosaur will show up again quickly and also another flying one will
appear. Run after the rest of the team towards a cave in the water behind some
pillars. In the back is a stairs, use it to go up and Ann will follow you. A
little later she will again run up to the pillar where she wants to light the
fire and you need to keep the dinosaur away from her. Shoot one of the two
flying dinosaurs at the right time to attract his attention, use the second
one the same way a little later. If Ann isn’t up there yet you need to jump
down yourself and walk through the little gate to find some bones. Throw them
at the dinosaur and keep walking around the obstacles. If you survive until
Ann reaches the top and summons King Kong, a cut scene will follow and you’ll
be done here.

\ b / KONG TO THE RESCUE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Right away you’re up as King Kong to defeat the large dinosaur. He won’t
attack you yet, so use this time to press Y repeatedly and become stronger.
Then attack him head on and quickly kill the dinosaur. Take care of the
smaller flying dinosaurs while a larger one will take off with Ann. Then you
need to be quick and head to the barricaded door to remove the obstacle with
the B button. Smash in the door and quickly head over to where Ann is, who
will be taken by the flying dinosaur again. Now you need to follow quite a
long route, swinging and climbing while smaller dinosaurs are bothering you.
Just smash them away or ignore them and move to the larger platform at the end
of the route to battle against the large dinosaur and another one among some
smaller ones as well. Quickly power up by repeatedly pressing Y and smash
around you like crazy. If one of the two larger dinosaurs makes a swoop
towards you, first press X and then A to hit it.
After a few times this will make it fall to the ground, after which you have
to pick it up and tear it apart. Also do this to the second one and take out
all the smaller ones before climbing up against the back wall. Remove the
barricade blocking the gate, demolish it and pick up Ann standing next to it
before continuing to follow the route. You’ll come to a large pit with lava
and when descending along the wall you need to jump over to the pillar which
will sink down into it. By rotating the analog stick well you can move King
Kong around the pillar and to the right, so that you can grab on to the
vegetation again before you disappear into the lave and are able to get out of
here by climbing. You need to lower yourself into another area where there are
three of the largest meat eating dinosaurs. Quickly put down Ann and move away
from them so you can press Y often enough to get stronger. Then fully attack
and take out the dinosaurs one by one. You really don’t have to take along Ann
before removing the pillar from the gate and smash it to end the level.

\ c / TO THE PLANE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Jimmy will first take care of Hayes, after which he walks outside and get
attacked by two average sized meat eating dinosaurs. Stay at a distance and
shoot at them with your sniper rifle or get closer to be able to throw spears
at them. Keep walking around and protect Jimmy from the enemies. As soon as
they are defeated he will run to a door in the back left. It can only be
opened with two people and the lever is already there, so lend Jimmy a hand
opening the door. Past it you can follow him to the right to get to another
open area. Take down the flying dinosaur, two others will then be attracted to
it. Run a little towards Jimmy and grab a spear. Hit one of the two dinosaurs,
which will then come towards you. Shoot it, the second will only attack you if
you attack him after that. When both are defeated two flying dinosaurs will
show up, just throw them out of the sky.
A little ahead another meat eating dinosaur will come from the left across the
bridge, take it out and walk over the bridge yourself and through the
building. When you get to the other side you’ll be attacked by multiple flying
dinosaurs, use your weapon and the spears to bring then down and then cross
over to the other side. Grab a spear, hold it into the fire for a while and
then throw it into the bushes where Jimmy is waiting. Then follow Jimmy across
the plank to a hideout where there’s also a hanging crate. Quickly bust it
open and pick up the machine gun. A large dinosaur will come around the corner
shortly afterwards, so mow him down and take cover in the hideout because two
more will come from the bushes between you and the airplane. Take them out
strategically by exposing yourself every now and then and use the spears to
take the flying dinosaurs out of the sky. On the other side of the wide path
is another alcove where you can find fire. Light a spear and throw it into the
bushes directly next to the plane. Follow Jimmy to the plane to bring him to
safety and finish the level.

/_3_\______________
\ d / TO THE LAIR /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Walk a little across the narrow path and you’ll come to a crate hanging in the
air. Bust it open and take along the sniper rifle. Then continue until the
path opens up into a large and open outside area. Multiple dinosaurs are
flying around, take them down before going towards the stairs and heading up.
At the first platform you’ll be fiercely attacked by flying dinosaurs, use
your gun and the bones available to take them out while you keep moving and
looking around. Only continue when there are no more enemies there and stand
still at the top of the second stairs. A few flying dinosaurs will come up to
you, use the bones to take them out. A couple of others will just keep hanging
in the distance, take them out with your sniper rifle. At the exact top you
might encounter one ore two more flying dinosaurs and when they are defeated
you can go left and then right around the corner. There’s a fence you need to
smash through to get into the water behind it and end up in a large open cave.
On the platform near the now closed gate you can throw down the spears to
already wound the meat eating dinosaur down below. On the other side is a
stairs leading down. Run down it very fast, head inside the building and smash
through the fence straight ahead.
Quickly head up, bring down the crate and pick up the sniper rifle. You’re
safe here from the dinosaur down below, but not from a couple of flying ones
that come up to you. So quickly run back down and up the other stairs. Then
first kill the dinosaur down below and after that the flying dinosaurs that
went back to hang at their initial positions. A second meat eating dinosaur
will show up down below. Run past him to the platform diagonally to the left,
where you need to smash a fence at the back to get up there. Multiple flying
dinosaurs will come your way, use the spears to get rid of them and also try
to take out the second dinosaur down below. There are more bones in the middle
of the pit which you can use to throw at the flying enemies. Eventually you
have to set a bone on fire at the top of the second stairs, after which you
throw it into the bushes diagonally to the left. This will open up the exit in
the far corner, so that you can get up to the platform there. Ignore the
spiders and flying dinosaurs and just quickly grab the handle attached to the
pole where the spiders are moving around. Return to the other side of the
large pit with it and put the handle into the pole there so that you can turn
open the gate. Bring down the crate behind it to get hold of a shotgun.
There’s wooden fence well hidden on the right just past the gate, smash
through it and follow the path out of the level.
___
/_3_\______________
\ e / KONG’S LAIR /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Continue walking through the rocks and smash through a fence ahead. To the
left are spears, use one of them to bring down the crate. Don’t pick up the
sniper rifle just yet, first continue further and empty your current weapon by
shooting down the flying dinosaurs. Then pick up the sniper rifle and make
your way up while killing more enemies with both your weapon and the available
bones. As long as you hear them screech, there are flying dinosaurs around, so
look around you carefully and eventually enter the large building higher up.
There are no enemies here, so safely cross over to the other side. After the
stairs you have to go right and swim through the water, where you eventually
and up with King Kong and Ann. Talk to Ann with A when you’re at the right
distance and she will come over to you. After that a fight will start.
___
/_3_\____________________
\ f / FIGHT IN THE LAIR /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This level only consists of a fight with King Kong against the snakes that
attacked Ann. Quickly press Y a couple of times to get stronger and initiate
the attack. Swing your arms around you with A and try to grab a snake out of
the air with B every once in a while and keep pressing to finish it off. You
need to focus your attention especially on the larger snakes, they are the
most dangerous and will only die when being really rough. You can just swing
away the smaller ones or pluck them off of you to kill them. This is over when
all enemies are defeated.
___
/_3_\_______
\ g / FREE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this level there is even less to do than in the previous level. Follow Ann
through the tunnel and jump down at the end outside. When you get up again you
need to follow Ann again and swim towards the raft. As soon as you’re on it
you can float along the river with it. Ahead, King Kong will try to pick you
up one last time, but he’s too late.
___
/_3_\_________________
\ h / CHASED BY KONG /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow Ann into the water and out of it again, across a log and up some
stairs. You’ll end up outside where a couple of different enemies are fighting
against each other. Ann will run to the right a little later, pas the enemies,
between the pillars to a hideout with bones. Use those bones to take out the
dinosaurs, both on the ground and in the sky. On the other side of this area
is another hideout, with a torch on top of it. Use a spear or bone and light
it over there. Ahead and to the left of you is a slope overgrown with bushes.
Throw your spear or bone into it to burn them down, it’s possible that this
will also kill a new dinosaur instantly. If not, you still need to beat it
before heading up the hill with Ann and continue to follow her through the
jungle. Every once in a while you can see a part of King Kong and eventually
you’ll reach a torch in a building at the end of the level.
___
/_3_\_______________
\ i / HEADING BACK /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow Ann along the route and you’ll eventually reach a next torch where the
area should look familiar to you. Go straight here and use the spear to
quickly kill the eating flying dinosaur, this will make the other dinosaur eat
him so he can also be easily defeated. To the left the route is blocked by
bushes, but to the left of those is a torch on the wall which you need to hit
to get rid of the bushes and be able to continue. As soon as you’re past it
you need to pick up another spear right away, two smaller versions of the meat
eating dinosaurs will show up and also a flying one. Kill them while they’re
eating off of each other and continue, another meat eating dinosaur will
appear. Ann will assist you a little in defeating all of these enemies, after
which you can walk further and run into five more smaller enemies. Quickly
pick up spears and kill all of them with a single throw per animal. Follow Ann
through a passage in the back right and along some ridges and through some
caves until you get to the natives with fire. Move away to keep out of the
fire, when it dies out you need to run straight and keep going until you reach
the next torch inside the little building.
___
/_3_\______________________
\ j / BACK TO THE VILLAGE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Head up the stairs and through the gate, where you look to your immediate
right and use a bone to bring down the hanging torch. The bushes will burn
away, after which you can continue and find another torch around the corner to
the left. Bring this one down as well to get rid of the obstruction again and
pick up a spear right ahead to do the same thing again. Now you can continue
and Ann will lead through the area and eventually to the large wall. She’ll
walk around there for a but, but eventually a conversation will follow and
she’ll continue using the hanging bridge. You need to stay here and watch how
things turn out for the worst.
___
/_3_\_________________
\ k / KONG’S CAPTURE /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Jump over the hole with King Kong where Ann walked over and you’ll
automatically smash through the gate. Run further down, where the natives’
village is. Don’t only smack away the attacking people, but also destroy their
buildings and other destructible constructions. You’ll approach a barricaded
gate and you can’t get it open before all enemies are out of the way. Those on
the platform on the right can be reached by jumping to the right from the
gate, climbing further, turning around the pillar and jumping onto it. Smack
away the men and jump back to the gate again. To reach the enemies on the left
you need to head back a little, smash through a gate and climb and swing more
to get there. From here you can also reach the large gate within two jumps,
where you have to remove the pillar and destroy your obstacle so you can go
through. There are a couple of natives behind it, smash them away and also
bash through the next gate. Jump over the lava twice to get to Ann and press B
to pick her up. Run further and climb the pillar, put Ann down there so that
she’ll use a spear to burn down a blockade at the top of the climbable wall.
Pick her up again and climb up along this wall, drop down on the other side.
With Ann on your back you have to run further through the water. You’ll reach
the coast where you’ll be attacked with bullets and gas. Hit everyone you want
to, but eventually King Kong will collapse because of the gas and the level
will end.
___

\ l / KONG STRUCK DOWN /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this level you don’t have to do anything, but if you want you can walk
around a bit. Carl is standing on King Kong’s body and is talking about his
plans while Ann is protesting against them.
___
/_3_\_____________________________
\ m / IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
King Kong is standing behind a closed curtain just before he’ll be shown to
the people on the street. As soon as the curtain opens you can press A
repeatedly to free yourself and be able to move again. On the building to the
left on the corner is a search light and a shooter, climb up there and take
out both. Below you need to smash through the fencing, after which you go left
and right again to destroy another fence. Run between the construction beams
and jump over the hole, then continue to follow the street. You’ll get to a
more open area where the camera changes its view a lot and where there are a
lot of branching streets. But if you just follow the police cars you’ll
automatically end up where you need to be, but not before you take out the
police and the more heavily armed army. To take out gunners you need to run at
them with X and then hit them with A before they can hit you.
Eventually you’ll get to a bus blocking a fence. First take out all the police
and then climb the building to the right of the street to take out a shooter.
There’s also one on the left, pick up a car with B and make sure the camera is
positioned in a way so that you’re looking just past him. Press B again to hit
him with the car, then also lift the bus with B and then wreck the fence by
smashing it. In the section behind it the camera will change multiple times
when walking past an alley, but you don’t have to spend time on the cannons
that will only increase the damage you take. So just keep following the street
to the blockade ahead, where you meet Ann who will step onto your hand. Now
you need to escape by climbing the Empire State Building. Do this by pressing
X in the corner of two walls and then moving up. Climb up two floors this way.
___
/_3_\____________________________
\ n / THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Climb up a few floors like in the previous level with the X button until you
reach the spire of the Empire State Building. You can rotate around it while
being attacked by airplanes. They will fly past and shoot at you, which will
do more damage to you every time. If you want you can fight back by hanging on
the correct side and pressing the B button to grab the planes out of the sky
or A to smash them. You don’t need to do this, the goal of this level is to
take enough damage and fall to the streets.
Unless of course you’re playing the alternative ending, through the Extras
menu. Then you need to hit the planes out of the sky with A, so don’t use B to
grab them! If you take down enough of them you will switch to an airplane with
Jack and Englehorn on board. Your goal is to destroy both the search lights as
the other planes. If you manage to do this before King Kong is defeated you
will get to see an ending that’s totally different from the standard movie
ending.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is only a closing scene in which Carl Denham repeats his dramatic
sentence, which clearly shows his lack of recognizing his own responsibility
in all of this. The camera will zoom out and you’ll get to see the credits.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first time I played this game was on the regular Xbox and I wasn’t really
a fan. When I was able to trade the game and play it on the Xbox 360, I
decided to try it again and things were a little more pleasant. The movie was
magnificent and this version of the game probably shows of its assets best.
It’s a bit long-winded sometimes, but the spectacular scenes in which you can
play with King Kong make up for this.

nearly as good as the movie, but they did take advantage of the available
elements to supply us with fun gameplay.
