Our walkthroughs focus on topics such as avoiding and distracting enemies, keeping Mudokons alive and completing puzzles.

The most important gameplay mechanics are described in more detail in our game guide. It contains tips and tricks, most of all, about stealth, completing platform sections, eliminating enemies, world exploration, giving orders to Mudokons, crafting or using mind control options. The most difficult puzzles are described in a separate chapter and they should help get through the most complex moments of the game. Any problematic issues are addressed in the FAQ section with answers to frequently asked questions. It suggests, most of all, how to avoid dying, how to avoid deaths among Mudokons, how to communicate with Mudokons or how to avoid raising alarms.

The Oddworld Soulstorm guide includes secrets and collectibles as well that we can find as we progress through the game. Trophy hunters, in turn, should take a look at the trophy guide, in which we explain how to get 100% of achievements and how to unlock the platinum trophy. The guide is complemented by sections about controls, system requirements, available versions of the game along with information on how much time you will need to finish Oddworld Soulstorm.

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.
