GUIDE

Note: You can help the Zonkonians in any order.

Note 2: The Zonkonians are listed by color, if you are unsure which color the Zonkonian you need help with is, click on the Location Spoiler Tags until you find it.

Red:

Spoiler: Location

In the hole beneath the drill.

Spoiler: Hint

Find alternate sources of food for the 2 caterpillars. Search the surface/main area of the map for them.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

Food 1: Go to the tan rock at the edge of the map on the elevated side, between the drill and the observatory. Look for an opening that leads beneath the tan rock leaning against the wall. Inside the opening are some roots, interact with them to "pick them up."

Food 2: Go to the middle of the map where there are a lot of rocks and hills mixed together. Near the bottom, between the crashed pelican and the large yellow triangular device is an area with a dirt wall and rocks on either side. On the dirt wall is a flowered plant sticking out of it, interact with the plant to "pick it up."

Once you have both food sources return to the caterpillars and interact with them to save the red Zonkonian.

Orange:

Spoiler: Location

Inside the structure within the large cave on the lower/flatter side of the map.

Spoiler: Hints

1. Search for a yellow key around the area outside of the cave entrance with a monitor. The key lets you get inside the cave.

2. Once inside the alien structure, follow the wire.

3. For the puzzle, connect the wires by using the left side ( left if you're facing the switches ).

Spoiler: Full Explanation

1. Walk up the right leg of the Walker Vehicle and hit the switch to open the cabin and retrieve the yellow key. The key lets you enter the large cave nearby, the one with a monitor by a big door.

2. Interact with one of the barrels to "pick it up" then go to the opposite side of the cave and interact with the yellow square on the ground to place the barrel. Shoot the barrel to open up the alien structure.

3. After passing through the hallway and entering the small room, jump up on the smaller pillar with a set of lights moving on it, on the left side of the room. This will take you into a small area with a yellow square you interact with to cut the wire. This opens the door in the middle section of this area.

4. After going through the door, you enter a big room with a wire puzzle. Climb the stairs and interact with the switches on the glass platform. You have to connect the two black wires using the colored wires. Each set of colored wires has 2 different placements that alternate when you hit the corresponding colored switch.

To solve, use the left side path (left if you are facing the switches). The only answer combination I can give you is the one from the initial position (no switches activated yet) which is from left to right: 1 2 2 1. So hit the 1st and 4th switches once and the 2nd and 3rd switches twice.

Once you solve the puzzle, the yellow light in the middle will go out and it opens the glass wall behind you which lets you get the Orange Zonkonian.

Yellow:

Spoiler: Location

On the observatory (the tower on top of the mountain)

Spoiler: Hint

Search the observatory structure for a red battery (the blue battery is already in its rightful place).

Spoiler: Full Explanation

Climb the rocks until you get to the base of the observatory. Jump onto the ledge protruding from the sides until you reach the perch below the sign. Look up, then jump out a tiny bit and clamber onto the sign. Then climb the telescope and go up to the spinning dish. Jump onto the black cylinder that rotates and interact with the red battery to "pick it up." Then jump back down to where the yellow Zonkonian is and interact with the device near the center to place the red battery.

Green:

Spoiler: Location

Inside the giant bug.

Spoiler: Hint

Go off the gravity lift in front of the giant bug.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

After going inside the bug (invisible teleporter at the front of its mouth), jump from the bug's throat onto the mound on the left wall. You want to run, jump, thruster, and groundpound onto the clump. Then run jump and thruster onto the mushroom piece, then do the same onto the highest point of the whitish blue piece along the right wall, from there jump onto the ring piece at the back of the wall and interact with the green Zonkonian.

Blue:

Spoiler: Location

In the small cave near the drill and pink/blue water tower with yellow, orange, and green contraptions inside.

Spoiler: Hint

You must set the yellow and orange contraptions in the right positions, then activate the green lever to complete this puzzle.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

Yellow: Turn the yellow contraption until the orange and green ones are linked on the bottom set of pipes and the top set of pipes should connect to the wall where the pipe above the pool is and outside to the pink/blue water tower.

Orange: Put the square block with a stripe on the square pedestal and the barrel on the round pedestal.

Once the yellow and orange contraptions are set right, activate the green lever to fill up the pool and get the blue Zonkonian.

Violet:

Spoiler: Location

Inside the cabin of the Walker Vehicle at the top of the hill.

Spoiler: Hint

Look for an item relatively close by that will allow you to free the Zonkonian.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

At the base of the observatory, go underneath the tower, jump up onto a ledge and interact with the blowtorch to "pick it up." Once you have the blowtorch, go to the top of the nearby Walker Vehicle by climbing up to the observatory and then jumping down on it's back. Interact with the yellow square by the cabin to cut the bars and free the violet Zonkonian.

Bonus Stuff:

Green Switches:

1:

Spoiler: Hint

Near the caterpillars.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

In hole beneath the drill with caterpillars, go to the corner across from the red crate/launcher and jump past the rocks into the corner where theres a hole. Turn around in the hole to see the green switch.

2:

Spoiler: Hint

In a small cave near the top of a lesser mountain.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

The switch is in a small cave at the top of the rock-mountain near the Walker Vehicle that is just outside the entrance to the large cave with the monitor and door. To reach the top of the rocks, jump onto one of the two mushrooms located between the rocks where you want to get on top of and the observatory. Run jump onto the mushroom then jump and thruster and groundpound onto the top of the rocks. It helps to aim for the middle of the rock formation, to the left of the mound at the right corner.

3:

Spoiler: Hint

Search in the alien structure with the wire puzzle.

Spoiler: Full Explanation

In the big room with the wire puzzle (switches on glass platform), climb up the angled ring piece to get on top of the slanted cylinders. Walk to either end and then walk backwards off and clamber onto a ledge hidden between the cylinder and the rectangular block. Walk through the chroma (wall) and the switch is in the middle of the area on the other side.

4: At the end, near the "W" This one is here to let people know what the green switches do in case they don't read the map post or guide.


Easter Eggs (Hints only):

-Tride and Seek

Spoiler: Hint

After accessing the phaeton, look for an oddly colored pig, whale, and grunt below the map.

-How'd I Get Here?

Spoiler: Hint

Search for an invisible teleporter located on a hard-to-reach high spot.
