Walkthrough Information

  • The levels in the walkthrough are listed in a suggested order.  You need to do the chapters in order but the interludes can wait if desired.  I tried to do them with the least amount of returning as possible.  In addition, you will need to return to some island to pick up feathers, shark teeth, and gems.
  • The walkthrough will not tell you to read the guide stones.  I expect you to do so, okay?  They'll give you hints, so use them!
  • I will not be telling you to look for gems.  However, each map has all the gems circled in red.
  • These maps are kind of big and I didn't want to reduce them so much that you can't see them clearly.  You might want to right click on the image as select Save Picture As to save it onto your computer.  Then you can open it and look at it a little bit more easily.
  • Don't worry too much if part of your tribe dies while fighting unless the enemy is attacking your to your village.  You will regenerate.  If you fail, just pull back and build more buildings.  
  • DO worry about your defenses if the enemy comes into the village to attack Aruku and Guro.  If they die, you will have to start the level over and you don't want that as you spent a lot of time building already, right?
  • You can restart a level as long as you haven't finished the primary goal.  Exit out of the level and when you select Play, select No for "Do you want to continue your saved game?"
  • There is no limit to building except your patience and the fact that it has to be done one at a time.  I usually build everything (except the Sky Hall) and many, many, many Shaman Tents when they become available.
  • The Magnifying Glass is very handy to find gems.  If a gem is on the screen, you will receive a large circle area to look within.  It takes time to recharge though.  Start using it to find the last gems on islands you are returning to for other items.
  • I'm not going to give you details regarding each building.  You don't need it.  Just build everything.  The walkthrough below will give you any specifics you might need (if there are any).
  • Suggested building order is Huts (total of 2 to 3), Scout Lodge, Barracks, Workshop, Archery Range, Arrow Towers (if needed).  This will get you the defenses you need.  Then you can build as desired.
  • Remember that some buildings require others to be built before they are available.  The build menu will tell you the prerequisites for each building, so if the building is gray and not green, read the description!
  • Finally, be patient!  Building can be slow at times.  This is a great game to play while watching TV!
