The Lair of the Mothers
Waste those larva-layin' slugs.
Go forward and the ramp will drop out for an ambush, grab the goods under the ledge then hop up and keep going through the arched hallway to where a bridge crosses a green slime pit (Shot 1). Cross the two bridges, grabbing the goods on the areas below before and after the arch where the bridges connect (Shot 2). Continue through the arched hallway to an ambush, go right, get ambushed a second time, then go through the door into the first slug lair (Shot 3). The slug won't hurt you, but watch for G'krokon parasites on her body. Climb the rope to the ledge above and go through the unlocked archway. Continue to a room with rocky shelves and a rope. Shoot fireballs into the red cracks in the center column to drain the slime. Jump down and find an raised octagon platform, hop on and ride it down to a room full of goodies (Shot 4). Remember this room later if you leave stuff behind. Climb the rope to continue into the archway opposite where you entered. Continue until you go up a ramp through open arches. See the blue wall behind you? Go climb over it and grab the key and the wall will lower (Shot 5). Walk out for another ambush, then grab the goods in the revealed room across from the key, the take the walkway. Follow a maze of hallways, using the shrines and grabbing goods from the ambush areas above you, until you come upon an iron octagon plate to your left (Shot 6). Walk over the plate to slide it back, then hop down into the hole, grab goods and jump down again, enter the first lair again, climb the rope and use the key on the locked archway door. Enter and follow the hallway left in a room with red beams running through it (Shot 7). Climb the beams to the arch above and continue to the shrines, then come outdoors and walk around the wide column into the lair (Shot 8). Get the idol and destroy the slugs if you wish, then ride one of the two lifts down behind the lair, dropping you into the first lair. Use the archway door that was always unlocked and follow the halls all the way, past the iron plate over the hole, to a door that leads out to a ledge overlooking flasks on either side (Shot 9). Climb down to get health, then back up and place the idol on the pedestal in the archway. This will open a teleportation field to the Hive Priestess's domain (Shot 10). She will not be willing to help until you bring her to the brink of nonexistence. If you find yourself low on goods, make sure you save it BEFORE stepping into the portal, and return to the room with rocky shelves for the big secret stash you left behind. Afterwards, the Hive Priestess will teleport you to the next level, The Ogle Mines.
