You start off at the beach at level 2, with 2 cure potions and a dagger. As of the moment, the only monsters around are ussal crabs, and they are VERY easy to beat.

Battling notes: You will always get the same exp for each member. i.e. If you defeat an ussal crab with only Kaiwera in your party, he will get 1 exp. If Moana joins, she and Kaiwera get 1 exp each.

Go out of that area you are in, and when you get to the sign, go south. Keep going south and weave through the big stone thingies. After you have passed all this, cross the bridge and go up the stairs.

S.C....

You are now in the Charred Forest of Ta-Wahi. Navigate your way through the dense thick smoke to the Ta-Koro gate.

At this point, no more ussal crabs. Your new enemies are Fikou spiders.

When you get to the Ta-Koro gate (big open door)...

S.C....

Right, go in, and go up the stairs. Go all the way to the right and turn the switch. Go back down and TA-DA. A door magically appears. Go in...

S.C...

Congratulations...you are now in Ta-Koro, your home! Go to the inn and rest if you want...there's going to be a boss fight soon. (Note: When I say boss fight, I mean fights that CANNOT be avoided if the storyline is to proceed).

Go to the rectangular building to the left of the inn. There are two doors. Go through the one closer to the wall.

S.C....

Go and talk to Turaga Vakama. You will find out you are the 'Chosen of Fire'. Keep talking. You will fight Jala, your boss, as a test.

Turaga Vakama will now tell you to head towards the Fire Temple. Get out of that room and go heal yourself, buy stuff, whatever. Just get ready because your only way of healing yourself at the Fire Temple is with potions or if you level up.

Now let's head towards the Fire temple. First, you need to get out of Ta-Koro.

S.C....

Right, Charred forest...again. Go down (just a few steps), then head west (left). Keep going, until you meet up with...

S.C....

You're still in the Charred Forest. But keep going...up...read the sign post...and go in the door.

S.C....

Ok, so you're in the Fire temple now...cool music. The monsters you can meet up with are now...Fikou (3). Note: If the monster's got a number beside it in brackets in this guide, like you just saw, that means the number it appears in. Fikou (3) means that three Fikou are going to battle you at once. Since it’s basically the same as what you battle in the Charred Forest, I’m not going to draw a table here.

First, go RIGHT and then up and hit the switch...then go back down to the fork and go left. Ignore the first 'branch-off', because that's a dead end. Instead, go up, and turn right. Keep going to the end and go down the stairs.

S.C....

Just keep following the corridor...go past the big doors (can't go through yet)...just keep following the path...hit the switch. Now go back to the big doors...hey! They're gone! Well, go down the new corridor, and enter the room with the big chest. Open it, and get the flame sword. This beauty will now appear on the back of Kaiwera.

Go out of that room, and in front of that pillar with the funny gold stuff. Press Enter or Spacebar or whatever your 'use' button is. Ta-Da. Your pathway is now open. Go down the stairs.

S.C....

Go up and hit the switch. But before you go through, I'll warn you, there's going to be another boss fight. Ready? Right, now go through the doors. You will appear in a desert. Now let the game guide you.

Tehiti & Waiti

Right, after that amusing conversation with the two idiotic excuses for a Nui-Rama, you fight. After you’ve taken care of the two, a door will magically appear. Go through it.

S.C…

Yay! Big chest! Open it! Ta-Da…and you find Tahu’s Hau!!! Now take it to Vakama, like the game says…the game will automatically teleport you to the Charred Forest. From there on, you must fight your way through masses of Fikou (again) to Ta-Koro. So, get yourself there…and we’ll skip directly to where you talk to Vakama.

S.C….

You will automatically go to Vakama and start the conversation once you’ve entered the room. So now you need to find the other Chosen. Good job. You have officially completed Ta-Koro. Well, not quite, since you’ll be back. So go to Tear’s point. Let’s skip the Charred Forest and go directly to the beach.

S.C….

Go down the stairs, and cross the bridge. Go north, north, north, pass the stone thingies, across the big sand plain, and up the stairs. Go east once you’ve reached the top of the stairs. Keep going, right across the bridge, look around…and a cutscene will follow.

S.C….

Yeehaw! Ga-Koro! This place is great…nice music, too. Go around and buy stuff, rest at the inn, whatever. After you’re done shopping, talk to Moana (btw, if you have been smart enough to read through everything in this walkthrough, this is THE Moana that I was talking about *wink* ), who is, like she said, apart from the others, standing at the square.

She tells you to talk to Maku. Do that, and find out about where Turaga Nokama has gone, as well as why. Then go down from the stage and talk to Moana. She’s furious, and demands to go to the water temple as well.

MOANA HAS JOINED YOUR PARTY

Hurrah. Your first Ga-Koronan. She is very intelligent and you will find her very useful for healing your party. She starts off with a short sword and a robe at level 5.

Now, go out of Ga-Koro and head north. Cross the bridge, and leave through the west path.

S.C….

Nice music. Just keep following the path. Sooner or later you’ll meet up with a Nui-Rama.

Go all the way up to the fork. As the sign says, you should head north.

I’ll skip all the way to the Temple, as there’s nothing much between now and that temple.

S.C….

So you’re at the Water Temple. A bit impressive, and almost symmetrical at first sight. You’ll meet floating Takea here.

Go north and read the sign post. Go to the little cavern to the west. Talk to the tree J. Shake down whatever’s there, and now, two changes should occur.

1)     Moana becomes leader

2)     Her sprite now has two ‘hooks’ hanging off her back.

Go back to that sign post, and head north one step, onto the little ‘piece of land that is jutting out abnormally’. Cutscene J. Now go down the steps.

S.C….

Hit the switch, and go to the fork. Take the southeast tunnel and hit the switches there. Now go back to the fork and –WAIT! You’re about to fight an infected Maku, so prepare yourself! Now take the south west tunnel.

And after you’ve beaten the infected Maku, go round the big pond, down the east side of the second pond and head south at the fork. Open the chest. This will trigger a cutscene where Moana wears the Kanohi Kaukau and we’ll all know she’s the Chosen of Water. Now you can also travel across water using wooden platforms…this will come in very handy.

Now go back all the way to the fork at the beginning. Take the east tunnel. You will notice the wooden platforms on top of the water. Stepping onto one will now teleport you to another platform directly opposite. Keep doing this to travel all the way to the other side of the tunnel. When there are no more platforms, STOP. DO NOT CONTINUE. Prepare yourself for the toughest fight yet! This will be against a Tarakava, and believe me, it is strong.

After you’re sure you’re ready, go into the cave. A cutscene will follow where Kaiwera says something that makes a lot of sense. Now FIGHT THAT TARAKAVA.

This Tarakava is tough. Keep pressing the fight button but if somebody’s hp falls below 30, use the cure water spell to heal that person. Keep this up and you’ll soon have this monster subdued.

Afterwards, you will meet up with Tehiti and Waiti again. Luckily, they start arguing and you don’t have to fight them. After they stop talking, go south behind the lake and you will meet Nokama.

S.C….

A cutscene will ensue and you will be in Nokama’s hut, where she will explain everything to you. I got goosebumps when I read this.

Now go outside and enjoy the fresh air. Heal yourself and go shopping and whatever. After you’re done with that, go to the jetty and leave for Ta-Koro.

S.C….

Go the way you went before, but just when you are at the gates (you are still in the Charred Forest), turn east. Go up the stairs and into the hut. Talk to the Ta-Koronan and travel to Ko-Wahi.

S.C….

Congratulations! You have finished almost one third of the game.  Now, step out of the cable car hut. You will fight Takus here.

Head west here until you see a staircase. Go up that staircase and head west, across the bridge. Now go up the staircase to the north, but only ONE of them. Leave the rest alone and head east. Keep going until you find another staircase. Go up this one. Keep heading north, up the staircases, until you get to the signpost. There are 2 signposts, actually. Read the east one. You should get

‘Welcome to Ko-Koro’

as an answer. Go up the staircase next to it and…

S.C….

Ta-da! You have made it all the way to Ko-Koro! Now do whatever you do at a town; shop, heal, whatever. Then, when you’re finished, head north, up the stairs, and into Turaga Nuju’s hut. But it’s so big; mansion’s probably a better word.

Go in and talk to Turaga Nuju. Matoro will translate his words. Now do as Nuju says, and talk to those rangers. Or basically every one in town. You should get a name…

When you’ve done that, prepare yourself…you are about to meet the third chosen. The Chosen of Ice.

Head out of Ko-Koro, and down three staircases (including the one connecting Ko-Koro to the world). Now go up those staircases to the northwest that I told you to stay away from. Go up those three staircases and read the sign post. Head west. That’s right. Towards the snow plains.

Now all you need to do is walk around for a few moments.

A cutscene will occur where you meet Pirihi, the ranger that has gone missing. You will learn why he did not return to Ko-Koro. Then they will talk a bit more and…

PIRIHI HAS JOINED YOUR PARTY

Yay. This guy is lvl 7 and starts off with a long sword and some leather armour. After he’s joined, you will be teleported to outside the snow plains.

Go back to Nuju and talk to him. You will learn about the whereabouts of the Ice temple. Now go back outside and up those three northwestern staircases until you see the sign post. Remember I told you to read it? Well, you should know where the Ice temple is. Head north up all those staircases. Just keep heading forward, sometimes up, sometimes down.

Eventually you will reach the summit and arrive at the Ice Temple. Well, what are you waiting for? Go in!

S.C….

Right…you are now inside the Ice Temple. You battle Ice Hikakis here.

Go north and open the chest. Take the sword, and go back down. Go to that pillar that was blocking the west tunnel. Press your ‘use’ button and head north. When you get to the fork, go west. Now up that staircase…

S.C….

Pretty straightforward. Go pass the staircase and hit the switch. And then go down the staircase. Now hit that switch and go back up two levels.

S.C….

When you get back to that fork (which you took the west route), now you can take the east one. Go up the staircases.

S.C….

Continue west, and ignore the ‘branch-off’s. Instead, go all the way to the end and up the staircases. Hit the switch and go back down the staircases.

Now turn south at your first fork (from that staircase you just came down from) and  go onto the wooden platform.

S.C….

Ignore the staircase and continue into the large cave just ahead (to the east). You have a choice of seven ‘branch-offs’. Starting in a clockwise direction from the most north western branch off, your choice should be the fourth one; but before you go through, prepare yourselves. You are about to fight a very strong Muaka. Compared to the Tarakava you fought before, that Tarakava is a sock puppet.

When you’ve gotten rid of the guardian, step forward into the new chamber. Enjoy the cutscene and the rather entertaining ‘mockery’ of this game’s author: Kanohi Akaku. But by creating this AWESOME game I credit him and respect him.

After that, you will be teleported to the entrance of the Ice temple. Now make your way back to Nuju’s hut. Let’s skip directly to the part afterwards.

S.C….

Nuju tells you to go to Po-Koro. So go down the staircase and enter the Po-Koro highway. (The construction has finished). Follow the highway straight to Po-Koro (It’s not THAT hard).

Heed your party’s words and head to Onewa’s hut, but first, prepare yourselves (you can buy stuff and heal for free). You are about to battle Huki. Now head to Onewa’s hut and talk to the guy blocking the entrance. It’s Huki.

Enter the hut and talk to Turaga Onewa. But he’s also in the same ‘trance’ as everyone else. So follow the hint and head for the Quarry. But first, go outside and talk to the well. Then go out of the city and head south until you find the four-way fork. Take the east path.

S.C….

Follow the path up to the Quarry. Go through a few tunnels and arrive at a dead end. There’s a patch of wall that’s empty, unlike four other patches of walls, where there are masks. Go up to that patch of wall. Talk to it.

S.C….

Go through the new entrance. Continue up to the staircase. Take west on your first fork. Go all the way into the end of the corridor. Go into the most southwestern room and just walk around the big stone block.

S.C….

You’ll slip and find yourself in a room without any exit. You can try the switch, but it won’t work. Instead, ‘talk’ to the northeastern skeleton. Cutscene…Nobody dares to touch the skeleton except for Moana…girl power! Now exit the room with the new door. Go back to the start of the corridor. The doors will have disappeared. Go down the steps.

S.C….

Keep going past all those doors and onto your only route: the staircase. Hit the switch and open the chest. Now go back down the stairs. Enter the room with footprints and check the patch of wall near the footprint. You will meet a Po-Koronan. He is the supposed ‘traitor’.

KIKIA HAS JOINED YOUR PARTY

Whoppee. Let us rejoice J. For a level 10, this guy has HUGE hp. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have anything on him. Go back to the town.

S.C….

Go all the way up to the northern bit of the town. Read the signpost if you want. Then when you’re done, ‘talk’ to the patch of wall that is in the center of the footprints. Go through your new door.

S.C….

You are now moments away before entering the Stone Temple. And if you didn’t know that, you really haven’t been noticing those angels.

This bit is really straightforward. But before you go up the stairs, prepare yourselves for a MAJOR battle. Ready? Right, now go up those stairs and talk to the person. After a little chitchat with Mata Nui’s brother, you fight his little pet. A Kane-Ra.

After you’ve managed to defeat that horrid thing, go back to Po-Koro. Everything is back to normal thanks to you. Now go talk to Turaga Onewa. He tells you to go to Onu-Koro. So let’s do that after you’ve healed up, bought stuff, etc.

When you’re done, go back to that four-way path. Take the west path.

S.C….

Talk to the Onu-Koronan and take a taxi crab. You’ll have to stop halfway there.

S.C….

Go down the stairs and admire the Earth Temple. Keep going until you reach Onu-Koro.

S.C….

As usual, head for the Turaga’s house first. When you’re done talking to him (and Kikia leaves), go to the building to the north that has a lot of doors. Talk to the guy with a purple mask, Onepu, and Kohuke will join you.

KOHUKE HAS JOINED YOUR PARTY

This chosen starts at level 11. His stats are pretty equal and he’s got nothing equipped.

 You will also learn about Nikki’s flight for freedom. After you’re done, head outside and heal yourself, buy stuff, the usual.

This is the only side-quest in this entire epic. And it’s a pretty easy one. Go to the Beach near Ta-Koro. Go to the area that we first started. You’ll find Nikki there. In exchange, Onepu will give you a lift to whichever Koro you’ve been to as long as you ask.

When you’re ready, go to the northern section of Onu-Koro. Go through that big, open door.

S.C….

Here, you will meet Fusas and sometimes Makikas.

Keep going down the staircase. Sort yourself through the maze (go through the most northeastern tunnel) and you’ll find yourself at the Earth Temple. Go in.

S.C….

Very cool music. You meet Kofo-Jagas here.

 Go north and read the sign post. ‘Four must be clawed to dust’. Which means that you have to talk to four different columns and claw them to dust.

Take the east staircase down two levels. Go south and open the chest. Go into the north room on the same level. Talk to the column. Go west and claw the other column. Now go back two levels up (take the east or west staircases).

S.C….

Go back to the sign post and you will find that the wall has been removed. Go through the newly accessible door. Go east and down the staircase. Go into the north room and claw down the pillar. Head west and claw down the next pillar. Then go back up one level (not to the main lobby). Prepare yourselves. Then go through the next few doors.

S.C….

You will fight a Nui-Jaga.

After you’ve managed to defeat the Rahi, step forward into the next chamber and claim your prize. Enjoy the cutscene, in the middle of which, you will be teleported outside and Kikia will re-join your party. Note: Because you can only have four tohunga battling at once, you have to pick a person to wait at the sidelines. (use the exchange button. Find this by pressing esc, then exchange. Pick the four tohunga you want battling first)

Now you have to talk to Turaga Whenua. So leave and travel through the maze and back to Onu-Koro.

S.C….

He tells you to travel to Le-Koro. But before you do that, make sure you’re healed and you’ve bought some equipment as well as some potions. When you’ve done that, go to the south of Onu-Koro and enter the tunnel.

S.C….

Go all the way south and read the sign post at the fork. Go south.  Keep going all the way until you arrive at Le-Wahi.

S.C….

Follow the yellow (not brick) path. It’s a bit worn out, but you can still guess where it’s going. You’ll battle Kewas here.

Keep following the path, and sooner or later you’ll meet a fork. The east path will lead to nowhere, so take the south one. Just keep following the path and you’ll soon reach an area that looks minimized.  Go up to that big tree. Step out of the room and…

S.C….

You can’t do much at this point. You can heal for free, but you can’t buy anything. When you’re done sightseeing, head to the northeastern region of the village. Go into that building.

S.C….

Talk to the Le-Koronan. He’ll explain the mysterious absence of everyone in his village, and where the Miru is. He’ll also join you.

LEKOPO HAS JOINED YOUR PARTY

This guy is not very strong. Quite weak, as a matter of fact. No offense (personally I love Le-Koro), but I don’t know why the game makers made him so weak…At level 12, his stats are in the low tens and he’s got nothing equipped.  

Step out of the room using the other door and talk to the bird there. You’ll be teleported to somewhere in Le-Wahi.

S.C….

At this point, you’ll still battle Kewas, but sometimes with the addition of Tree Fikous.

You’ll get a fork at first sight, but either way makes no difference. The west path is faster and you’ll meet less monsters. Keep following the path through many trees and monsters. All of your party members should be gaining levels very quickly.

Sooner or later you’ll meet up with a big door, with either your members or your potions quite depleted.

S.C….

A hallway with a wooden platform and two exits. Take either exit, as it doesn’t matter. Go all the way north and into that door.

S.C….

Take a good look around all of the rooms then head east and south through the door. There are two exits here, one staircase and one door. Go through the door, and up the staircase.

S.C….

Take either door up and into a new room. Ignoring the door to the north, head into the west corridor. If you read the map in one of the rooms, you should recognise this place. Head down through the doors (or up, whatever) and down the staircases.

S.C….

You’re in a sort of cave-beach area, similar to the Water Temple. Head north, the only way, and into the room. Read the text.

Ok, now make your way back to the entrance of the Temple and talk to the wooden platform you passed. It’ll burn up.

Now make your way back to the area with hidden corridors and talk to that platform. It’ll burn up too.

Go north and through that door I asked you to ignore. Go down those staircases until you reach the bottom floor. Talk to the out-of-place rock wall.

Kikia and Kohuke will tear it down. Go through the new entrance.

S.C….

You’re back in that subterranean cave. Go up and head west onto the wooden platform. Jump in.

S.C….

You’re underwater now! Woo hoo! Well, navigate yourself to the end and into that patch of sunlight. You’re now in that air pocket mentioned in the text. Go north through the door and go south onto the thin platform that looks like a diving board.

Now, go up to the end of it…

People with heart disease or high blood pressure please look away (but still press the buttons and such).

And press your ‘use’ button. 4 times.

S.C….

Ok, safe to look back now. Go out the door, then go north across the bridges. Go through the door. Keep going through the chambers up to the chest. Open it up and…guess what?!

No Miru.
