This is ACowWithADS again, and this is my seventh guide! I have tried to get this guide up as soon as possible, and hopefully it will help those who may be stuck. If you have any questions or tips for me to add in the guide, email me at acowwithads[at]gmail[dot]com and I will be sure to include you in the credits if I add any of your tips in my guide! Enjoy! In addition to this, if you are trying to look for something certain in this guide, click CTRL + F on your computer and search for the keyword found in the Table of Contents. Thank You! UPDATE: March 10th, 2009 As of right now, I will not be including all the Yums in my walkthrough. No worries, however, as they will be added in with an update aswell as the new deleted scene, Brute Force. Have patience! Most or all of them are in the first three levels, however. Update: March 13th, 2009 In the later levels I have a different way to represent where you can find Yums and other creatures for Maw. Send me an email which you like more, the first three levels set-up or the last five or so! I want your opinion, it can help shape this guide! ============================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Table of Contents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ============================================================================== The Maw...

Walkthrough!-------------------------->>> 2.0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =============================================================================== ---------- Crash Site {2.1} ---------- Watch the opening cutscene. Once done, walk forward til you can see a pit. A ? mark will be over it. This is where you can first attatch to Maw. Attatch to him by pressing the X button. Walk Maw, and you eventually come across a clearing with a tree. Around the tree will be Yums. Walk over to them, while still attatched to Maw so he can eat them. Make sure you have eaten all of them by the tree, then move on. There will be two more in the next walkway. once you eat those too, Maw will grow for the first time.(Achievement unlocked!) You will now notice infront of you is blocked off by a big rock. Walk up to the rock, and press B. This will allow you to drag the rock out of the way. Once moved, press B again to drop it, attach back on Maw, and walk through the newly formed passage. After a few seconds of walking, you will arrive at another life flled area. You will also notice a river inthe middle of this area, and a ? mark on the other side. Cross the river and walk up to the ? mark which should be above the vicious plants blocking the way. This will trigger a cutscene. Once it is done, turn around and eat the Yums by the tree. Once done with all or most, Maw will grow again. You will now be able to eat the sleeping Gastro on the other side of the river. Walk back across the river, and detatch from Maw. Now go over to a Gastro and attatch to him. Walk him over into the river so his fire goes out. Now call or hurry to where you left Maw, attatch to him, and have him eat the Gastro. Now Maw will have fire abilities. Go back over to the plants that are blocking the path and walk him into them. They will be burnt down and you can continue on. But first back track. You won't be able to go without eating more yums. To the far left there will be a few in the pine trees, aswell as a Snuffles behind the movable rock. There should be some more by the Gastro aswell. Once you get to atleast thirty(Can check how many you have by pressing RB), you can advance to the next level. By completing this level you also get a gamerpicture! ----------- Bulb Valley {2.2} ----------- Leave Maw at the starting point and move ahead. There will be a quick cutscene, and a ship will drop a turret down to try and defeat you. You can dodge his shots by pressing A. Once you get close enough, you can attatch to it by pressing B. Once you have a hold on it, rapidly press A to take it down. Then call Maw back over and head forward. In a few moments you will be able to see another ? mark up ahead. Walk over to it. It is an object you can attatch to by pressing B, and slamming by pressing A. Attatch to it then bring it back alittle to where you defeated the turret. You will noticed that there is a generator that is holding up a shield door infront of some Yums, aswell as in front of the only passage needed to advance in this level. Break it by slamming it, then call over Maw to eat the Yums. Once they are all eaten, continue down where the other shield door was deactivated which is right next where you got the ball to slam. As soon as you turn the corner there will be another turret in need of someone to take care of it. Once it's destroyed the exit to the level is right up ahead. However, you don't have enough Yums and the there is a big turret guarding the exit you must disarm. There will be some in the opening in front of the exit aswell as some down the path to the right of where the turret was where you can find Yums. Head down the path to the right, and take out the turret. After that, jump up the rocks where a few Yums are. Throw them down to Maw, then jump down and continue down the path. A ship will drop another turret ahead. take that one out, then get to the top of the hill. To your left will be two turrets. Take them out, and a few steps forward will trigger a cutscene. Meet the Bulbous. Jump from Bulbous to Bulbous until you reach the generator and the giant slug thing. Jump off the bulbous and grab the ball used to slam the generator as you fall. Slam it against the generator to break the shields and let Maw through. Have him eat the giant Bulbous, and continue forward with your newly transformed Maw and eat some Yums. then backtrack to the spot with a ? mark. Have Maw shock the creatures there, then attatch to them. Turn around and you should see another generator and shield door. Slam this creature into the generator and go through the newly created passage. This brings you back to the beginning of the passage you took by the exit. Go alittle bit down the hill, and about eight turrets will be dropped. Take them all out by getting Maw to shock one of the things in the ground on top of the hill and throwing it at one of them. This will take them all out. Then use one on the generator behind you and once it lowers the shield, eat the Yums inside. Then proceed down the hill and use one on the turret guarding the exit, then proceed to finish the level. --------- Chaindown {2.3} --------- As soon as you start off, proceed down the hill until you reach a body of water. There will be a waterfall in front of you. To your left should be a hill. Climb that, and to the right will be some ledges sticking out of the mountain side. Jump across until you come to a little lake with two small hills. One hill will have a Gastro and the other one of those energy balls used to slam on objects. The only one you will be able to go up is the one with the ball, so go up the hill and attatch to it. Then slide down the side closest to the Gastro, and once you reach the bottom slam the ball onto that hill to send the Gastro flying. Now jump down the waterfall and call Maw. Once he makes his way over to you and you attatch to him, look at the second hill you went up. To the right will be a body of water where the Gastro will lay. Eat him using Maw, then turn back and go up the hill you just passed. on top will be a Beetull, which you may or may not have noticed before. He is trapped by three lasers. Use Maw to burn the lasers down, and watch him clear the exit for you. But you can't leave just yet, you need some Yums. Go around through the level looking for some trees or patchy grass. Once you have eaten around 25 or so, you should be able to proceed to the next level. --------- Dirtlands {2.4} --------- ========================================================= [Yums/Other Maw Food:] [] [Puff-Tor at the start, needed to proceed through level] [Yums in trees] [Yums in rocks] [Yums in Mushrooms] ========================================================= As you start, take Maw down the hill and onto the rock surface. Then grab one of the Puff Tor's prey and place him on the rock surface. The Puff-Tor will eat him, but when he does he will get knocked out on the rock. Take Maw and gobble him up. Then fly up to the generator using the Puff-Tor power to break it and move on. As you continue on jump from platform to platform. On the last platform will be an airlift. Jump on that and let it carry you up the hill. Once on it, continue jumping up to the top. When you get there, jump onto the airlift which will send you to the rock platforms. Jump from platform to platform using airlifts. Until you get to platforms covered with trees. In the back left will be a platform with a airlift that will shoot you up another hill. Use that. Once up, airlift up to the biggest platform (Which also happens to be the closests.) Now that you are on this platform, go off it's airlift which will push you into another airlift which will get you to hover over a generator. Smash it to continue forward. Right in front of you is an airlift. Go off it to fly into a series of airlifts. Once you go through them all, however you will be on a gigantic rock platform. Just ahead of you will be another hill. However, there is no airlifts. So what do we do? If you look closely there is rock ledges sticking out of the side of the hill. Jump on them to reach the top and complete the level. ---------- Looferland {2.5} ---------- ====================================================== [Yums/Other Maw Food] [] [Soldiers on the ground scattered through the level] [Loofer in the beginning, needed for level completion] [Gloobers in fields] [Yums in trees] [Yums in fields] [Yums in rocks] [Yums in mushrooms] ====================================================== Meet the Loofer. This is the kind of fellow you always want to be on yourside. Walk up to him to find out why. Once you realize how much of a problem he can propose, walk around him and grab the energy ball back towards the crash space ship. Hit him with it, then have Maw eat him. You can now ride Loofer powered Maw! Proceed up the path to the right blowing up any crashed objects in your way using the Loofer's laser. Eventually you will come to an opening with two generators, and three shield doors: left, right, and middle. You don't need to go right first, you can if you want, but go left by taking out the generator to the left. A ship will drop turrets in front of the newly opened passage. Shoot those down too. Turn right and burst the generator at the end of this path. Now go across to the other generator(the one on the right side) and follow that path. The path is very similar to the left side just a little longer. Anyway break the generator at the end of this path. Now the shield door in the middle opens. There is a clearing with a few soldiers and turrets. Take them out and proceed towards the generator to the left. Blow it up and proceed through the entrance. Straight ahead will be the exit, guarded by a turret which you can not shoot because it is around a corner, but can shoot you if you get to close because of heat seaking missles. What you want to do is shoot the ground in front of the corner/ by the big check or x sign to set off mines which will blow it up. Now you can finsih the level. ----- Mesas {2.6} ----- ======================================== [Yums/Other Maw Food] [] [Gloobers in fields] [Yums in trees/fields] [Bulbous, needed for level completion] [Puff-Tor, needed for level completion] ========================================= You start on a rock surface. In front of you will be dirt with Puff-Tor prey in it. Leave one on the rock surface for later. For now, proceed down the path to the left. On the path will be three turrets. Destroy them using Frank. Once you pass the turrets, there will be Bulbous. Jump on the platform by the third destroyed turret so you can reach the Bulbous. Then use them(by hopping from Bulbous to Bulbous) to get to an area with two generators and a Puff-Tor locked up. Use the part of the Bulbous that fell off to break the generator closest to where you started to open the shield door leading there, and freeing the Puff-Tor which will knock it self out by falling for your Puff-Tor prey trap. Have Maw eat the Puff Tor, then go to the entrance of the first path. Right in front of you will be an airlift. Hop airlift to airlift until you get to the big Bulbous. Have Maw eat him, then go back to the starting point. Now that you are back where you started, shock the Puff-Tor prey. Then use it as a bomb to destroy a turret blocking the exit and complete the level. ********WARNING******** If you get rid of the Puff-Tor power for Bulbous power before getting all the Yums in trees, you can not 100% this level. ------------- Beetull Smash {2.7} ------------- Yums/Other Maw Food Beetulls, some are story related Gloobers in fields Yums in trees, fields, sky, and mushrooms The last level before the game seems to completely change into a different one for the last level, aswell as your first time playing as a Beetull. You start with a Beetull in front of you. Behind it will be a shield door with an energy ball in front of it. Use the energy ball to hit the Beetull and get him angry. Now that he is angry, he will charge at you. Make sure you are positioned in front of the shield door, then dodge his charge. This will break the shield door. Rinse and repeat this process until you come to a clearing with multiple Beetulls in it. Now that you are at the entrance of the clearing, look to your left. There will be a fallen spaceship with a energy ball in front of it. Do the same trick with the ship as you did with the shield door. This time, however, it will knock the Beetull out. Have Maw come over and gobble him up. Once you have the Beetull power, look to the back left. There will be a ship blocking a pathway. Run through the ship and anything else in your way as you go down that path. When you finally reach the end of the path, you will notice two things right away. To the right will be an exit. To the left will be a red shield door. However, if you look closer you will see steps on the left of the shield door. Jump on them. Immediately after you get up you should spot an energy ball. Attatch to that and look across from you. There will be a generator. Throw the energy ball at the generator to take down the red shield door. Now jump down and proceed to where the door was guarding. First you encounter an airlift. ignore that for now and proceed to the end of this path. Once there you will see a big rock. Attatch to that and drag it over the airlift. Yums will drop from the sky. Have Maw eat all of them to open the exit. Use your Beetull power through the new path the exit opened. :Note: That is not the exit to the level, just a new path. There will be a few like this on this level. When you reach the third clearing/opening, you can easily see a big red shield door right ahead. You may not see the steps and Beetull, however. Jump onto the steps on the right side of the shield door to get an energy ball. Throw it over the door onto the Beetull on the other side. This will get him mad causing him to break the shield down. Eat himiu wish, but proceed to the left by breaking down the shield door with your Beetull power and proceeding down the path. Once done with the path, you will land in a fourth opening/clearing. This also has the second exit to the right. To be able to proceed through that exit, however, you need to eat all Yums and Gloobers on the ground, then all on the platform above. :Note: To get onto the platform, jump up on the steps in the middle. On the third step or so will be an energy ball. Use that to destroy the rock blocking the last step up to the platform. When they are all eaten, go through that exit. once again, this is not the end of the level just another path. hang tight, we're almost done! As soon as you are in the clearing, destroy the rock inbetween the cliff just alittle bit ahead of you. Once done with that, turn right and knock down all the rocks blocking the steps on your right. Now jump up the steps using Frank to get onto the side of the cliff. Dodge and destroy any turrets in your way. Eventually you will reach an energy ball with a generator across from you. Throw the energy ball at the generator to power down the red shield door blocking Maw. Jump down and attatch to him and walk to where the red shield was blocking. To the left will be a door. Go through that and plow through the path behind it to come to your final clearing. Eat the big Yum dancing in front of you to complete the level. Congrats! ---------- Planet Maw {2.8} ---------- The last level, yes, but also the easiest. When you starts off, attatch to one of the fling ships. Once in it go around to each ship holding Maw down and drop bombs on them by pressing A. There are about seven or so, and once they are all gone you beat the game. If your ship happens to blow up by the laser shots, it's okay. You land right back on Maw and can hop back in another ship. Congrats on beating the game! =============================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Maw...
