OK, I am just now getting around to finishing this brain-draining level. I am at the point where I have just gotten the 4 tube gruntz and am ready to advance into the final section. I have so far found all the coinz (I think, I hope!), all the secretz up to this point, and all the warp letterz except the "P". I have poked around a bit here and there in this section and figured out how some things work, but I am pretty clueless about where to go now and what to do next. A little help here?  |

The goal here is to get to the secret switch *cough under a rock cough*, do whatever it does, and then get to the fort. The majority of the difficulty is getting to the secret switch AND then getting to the fort. Getting what is required for the secret switch is no easy task! There is more than one way to do things around here, so if at first you succeed, try try again!  The main thing you should be worried about is how many gruntz you have active and what tools they have or could have. Just look around for a while and try to do all of this and note "Oh, I couldn't do this", and you may get what to do. If you need more help, I am sure you can get it. |

Right now, I have 4 tubez, 3 in perfect health and 1 slightly less healthy. Well, the only thing I've been able to uncover under a rock is a shovel. The majority of the rockz are unreachable to any grunt with a rock-busting tool, including a Suicide Bomber. BTW, is there a solution to the green pyramid maze or are we talking "Decoy Ahoy" here?

Keep those four Toobz in a SAVE area, because you may need to go back there. Look around a bit ... keeping "Bombz Away!" in mind. Yes, there is a solution ... but you are also right about ")ecoy Ahoy!". |

There are two megaphones in this area, one for gauntletz and one for shovels. That is how you will get tools in areas that don't have them. However, you have to decide which places need them!
I don't remember if the green pyramids have anything for them or not. I do remember the reason they were put there is to make it look like the conversion power up was supposed to be accessable by the green pyramids, when it in fact was not.

Woo-hoo! I finally finished this brain-busting level with a Perfect in 93:08.  I had a revelation at 6 o'clock in the morning (ever notice how many of us have "revelations" so early in the morning?) that cracked the last section for me. It all lay in the question, "Whose team are you on? Decisions, decisions." And this one, "Someone could get killed around here." Now onto the newer levels! |

I have had loads of projects all going at once, and forgot about this question. I will go into the puzzle and do a screen grab of the opening Crumbling Bridge maze and 'doctor' it with the path, using MS Paint. When I am done, I will upload the picture to my web host, and add a link to it in the original (description) post of this thread. (I hope you have placed a 'notify' on this thread, so that you receive an e-mail when I hit 'Post' on this reply, and again when I add the image link later.) |

I always hit Notice on every post...that way I know when there is another clue available to me!
Thanks so much, I know it's hard to spend so much time helping others when you'd really like to be playing Gruntz yourself!! We appreciate it, every one of us!

Give that 'stuck' Grunt a Suicide Bomb and point him in the correct direction and watch him run! |

Start over! Right Tool; wrong Grunt. Let this be a lesson to you, because there are several similar misdirectionz in this Custom Level. The 'obvious' is not alwayz the 'correct' way to go. Blame your troublez on that devious Gamer. "If I get out of this alive, remind me to send some hate mail to the game designer."

Give the Suicide Bomb to the Grunt 'stuck' between the two Arrowz. There is an error (I call it a bug) in the Gruntz game engine that allowz a Grunt to run diagonally between Pyramidz (or Rocks, for example) under certain circumstancez; one of them, when carrying an ignited Suicide Bomb. Remember this, because it will come up again (a few timez!) in this Custom Level. |

sorry... my grunt is stuck behind some treez near a two-way arrow pointing in so he has nowere to run to ... that's why i gave the bomb to the one near the green hold-switch so he blast the 2 rockz revealing a switch and gauntletz... was i wrong doing so You're close, Gaby. You just need to do things a little differently. After you use the Resurrection scroll, have one of your newly resurrected gruntz stand on the Blue switch nearby. He will be "stuck" there for now. Have one of your other gruntz get the megaphone. Have that grunt move away to safety. After the GruntMachine gives you the bomb, give the bomb to the grunt that is "stuck" on the blue switch. Now press "T" on your keyboard, changing your cursor into the image of a bomb (since that is the grunt you should now have selected). Move your cursor so that the bomb is over the upper rock that is next to the Black 1 switch. Left-click with your mouse and your Suicide Bomber will run off the switch, over the bridge, in between the rockz, and explode at the rock you aimed at, revealing the switch and the gauntletz. That should leave you with two free gruntz, one of which gets the gauntletz and stands on the green switch while the other goes past the lowered green pyramidz and steps on the other blue switch. |
