Oddworld Soulstorm: Quick beginner's guide

Oddworld Soulstorm is quite a difficult game. Sometimes simply completing a stage might prove to be quite a challenge, not to mention saving 100% of the Mudokons along the way. Below we have included some useful tips.

1. Stealth is the basis of survival. Abe is vulnerable to direct confrontation, and as a result, the key to success is to avoid detection. We can do that by distracting enemies, bypassing them by walking on the shelves above/below them or relying on sneaking on your toes next to sleeping enemies who normally react to sounds.
2. Enemies are not the only threat. Our character can also easily die, for example, as a result of activating a death trap or falling into a chasm after a failed jump. Every action we take should be well planned - it is worth stopping for a while at each new location to get familiar with it first.
3. Mind control helps you get through difficult areas. Abe, as in the previous part, can use possession on selected enemies. This can help us in various ways: we can e.g. shoot some fellows of the possessed enemy, make the possessed character go into a trap or get them away from our area of interest.
4. Giving orders to Mudokons is significant. The other Mudokons we find are not very bright and, as a result, they can die quite easily. To avoid this, we have to give them orders to follow Abe or stop until a path becomes safe. We won't be able to save 100% of the Mudokons unless we master giving them commands to perfection.

More extensive tips can be found on a separate page: Beginner's Guide.
