Last update: 14 April 2021
This page of the Oddworld Soulstorm game guide contains the fifth part of the walkthrough of level 6 - Phat Station. Our guide explains where to find the last 12 Mudokons, how to deal with traps and environmental hazards, how to keep the Mudokons alive and how to reach the train at the top of the tower.
Additional note: the green color in this walkthrough stands for secrets and unique locations / activities associated with the badges (challenges) in the game. Mission 6 badges were described on a separate page of the guide.
Climb the Fueling Tower
You will be tasked with reaching the top of the Fueling Tower after using the platform (Cable Car) for the third time. First, we should head to the right. We will reach a climbing area where we must avoid touching any mines. Jump to the ladder on the right and bypass the mines by descending the ladder. We will discover a Secret Area with a hidden Royal Jelly.
Now we can return to the starting area and recruit 2 Mudokons. This time we're going left. On the way, recruit 1 more Mudokon. Stop when we reach the end of the platform and command the Mudokons to wait in this spot.
We're going to climb to the next level on our own. We will find 2 more Mudokons to recruit and a lever that will open up the way for the previous Mudokons. Call them over to us.
For the first time, we must avoid the traps capable of crushing the Mudokons. Run across as soon as the device goes up. Recruit 1 more Mudokon.
New traps will appear starting from this area - rotating mechanisms. These also require you to wait until the mechanism passes your current group before you can run to the right.
Tell the Mudokons to stop after avoiding the first trap and head to the right alone, because the whole group will not be able to bypass the two new traps. Pull the lower lever and don't let go of it. It will slow down the mechanism above. Wait for the right moment to instruct the Mudokons to follow Abe.
Once again, avoid crushing Abe and his buddies and reach the shaft to the right. Order the Mudokons to wait here and begin climbing on our own. Alternatively jump to the left and right ladders and make sure to time it right to avoid colliding with the working machinery. It requires some practice to get the timing right for each jump.
Once we reach the top, use the lever to unlock an alternative climbing route for the Mudokons you are escorting. Recruit the 1 Mudokon in this area.
Head to the left while avoiding being crushed on the subsequent platforms and wait with the Mudokons at the right spots between the machines.
Tell the Mudokons to wait and head for the lever on the right alone. In the same way as before, slow down the machines in order to call the Mudokons over. There's 1 more Mudokon to recruit here. Stop the group in the central area, reach the lever on the left alone and once the machines slow down, tell the Mudokons to follow you.
New machines capable of crushing our characters await us ahead. For the first time, you should consider dividing the Mudokons into smaller groups. Remember that we can issue commands to individual Mudokons by pressing the D-pad buttons once. Take 2-3 Mudokons along to make it easier to position them between the machines.
Once you have brought the Mudokons to the other side, order them to remain in place, then go back to the right and recruit 2-3 more Mudokons for the journey. Repeat this pattern until all of the Mudokons have bypassed the working machinery.
Once we resume our trek, we will find 2 more Mudokons to recruit. Abe must once again climb the shaft, but this time avoiding collision with the machines will be even harder. We have to be quick and precise. Once we reach the top, use the lever to open the passage.
It's a good idea to split the Mudokons into groups here as well to safely bypass the working machines. In the next area, we have to reach the lever by ourselves to slow down the machines and call our buddies over. We'll also find the last 2 Mudokons we need to recruit.
Once again, avoid being crushed by escorting 2-3 Mudokons at a time. Tell our buddies to wait at the end of the path and complete the last shaft-climbing section, which will require even more accuracy and quickly executed jumps.
Use the lever and call for the Mudokons. We can now head to the left and activate the Bird Portal to liberate all of the 12 Mudokons simultaneously.
Get to the train at the top of the Fueling Tower
Climb to the platform above and set it in motion. When you reach the new location, you should first head to the left. Once we destroy the crates, we will be able to reach the hidden Royal Jelly
In order to complete the level, run to the right. A cut-scene showing you boarding the departing train will play.
