A Complete ``Gold'' Solution to the DMA Design / Psygnosis Computer Game --- Lemmings II - The Tribes Compiled by David Crooke - [email protected] Terminology and General Points This is just a list of some of the terms used in this document and some helpful ideas. The term ``hatch'' refers to the points at which the Lemmings enter a level. The term ``exit'' refers to the objective you're trying to get the Lemmings to. Often also called the ``goal''. There are many references to Lemmings ``reflecting'' in this solution. Lemmings always have a direction (left or right) which they remember and keep to, but if they run against an obstacle, they reflect and change direction. This is caused by e.g. a non-climber reaching a wall, a builder running out of room, or a climber hitting the ceiling while climbing. The ``Loss of Lemmings: '' given at the start of each level is the number of Lemmings you will lose or kill on that particular level, and is usually equal to the maximum you are allowed to lose while still securing a ``Gold'' - since the scoring system is negative, within limits it means you can still get a Gold on later levels even if you have messed up earlier ones. You can then go back and correct your mistakes without redoing all the later levels. It also means that persisting with e.g. Sports 1 until you get lucky in order to get an extra Lemming is of no advantage for later levels. However, it is rumoured that you must end up with at least 30 Lemmings from each tribe to see the end animation - I am not about to go back and redo the game just to find out! When references to Lemming types are made in bold, e.g. ``Basher'', it means you are expected to perform an action with that type of Lemming. These are also used in verb form, e.g. ``Bash'' means ``Use a Basher'' etc. When a verb is used imperatively (``do this''), it means make the Lemming you are working with do so. If you tried to ``Bash'' in person, it might have grave consequences for your monitor/TV..... A part of the screen completely surrounded by scenery is called a ``chamber''. A small piece of scenery in otherwise open space is called a ``platform'' or ``island''. Many levels are solved by having one or two Lemmings forge ahead and do the dirty work, while the others are delayed by penning them in a pit, or with blockers, or using an attractor. This majority that is left behind is referred to as ``the horde''. If you manage to complete a tribe without having a horde, you'll only get a ``bronze''....... At some points, a suggested action is followed by a multiplier, e.g. ``Fill x2'' - this means it will have to be repeated about the quoted number of times to satisfy the requirements. When the instructions suggest you do something ``immediately'', it usually means you will have to have a finger of your non-mouse hand poised above a function key to select a Lemming action very quickly. When you are going to do a level (whether following these solutions or devising your own), it is a good idea to pause as soon as the screen comes on, and look round the level, going over the solution in your mind. When initially starting this game I found the variety of exit designs bewildering (I had to deduce the design of the Sports one from the fact it was the only unique thing on the screen!), so I have described them at the start of the solutions to each tribe - if you need help with the first level for a tribe, it may well be beacuse you're aiming for the wrong thing! If there is a long delay between required actions, or at the end of a level, use the fast forward button, but with care! Servicemen in the armed forces should carefully make themselves certain of what is intended by advice like ``Bomb'' and ``Mine''. In order to be Politically Correct, all Lempersons are reffered to by the gender neutral pronoun ``it''. This is not intended to detract in any way from their personification. and finally......... Please don't send me messages telling me that I have used the wrong terminology, or pointing out technical imperfections in the solutions. No warranty is offered that these solutions are the easiest, slickest, best, or whatever, but all solutions given ARE sufficient to get a ``gold'' on the level in question. However, if you have any really sneaky ones, I'd like to hear them......... Classic Tribe The Classic exit is a doorway with flaming torches outside. ``Do You Remember?'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Bash to break out to the right, Build from the wooden platform to the stone pillar and Bash through it. Build x2 from on top of the rounded bit at the base of the pillar to reach the exit platform. Bash left under the pillar from the right hand pit. Build right from the left edge of the left pit, and again from the left edge of the platform on which the pillar stands. Bash right from on top of the other rounded part. Stop this basher once it is through the pillar by making it into a Builder. ``Mr Lemmy Lives Next Door'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero After the first Lemming reflects, make it a Climber. When it reflects in the top left corner, Build right from the little ledge toward the stone blocks. Let it reflect again and clamber over to the right hand half of the screen, then make it Build to reflect it off the wooden ceiling. Make it Mine left, from between the two marks just before the step. After it climbs up the left side of the screen and reflects off its first ramp, make it Build to the right, a few pixels to the right of where it falls amongst the horde. This ensures reliable clicking. The single ramp should not reach far enough to let the main horde escape. When it climbs up from the pit, make it Build right from just under the join between the two largest blocks, to join up with the tunnel mined earlier. The timing can be taken from the marks on the stone below and will require practice. If it stops building and reflects, you will need to redo the level. Build from atop the ramp in the pit to release the main horde. Remember to use the Digger to make a hole in the wooden platform above the exit. If you do not do so, the climber will escape to the left and drown. ``LEMTRIS'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero The general idea here is to set off a few climbers at 10-15 second intervals, and to use them in turn to prepare ways through the various obstacles. The description below refers to the stone Tetris pieces which form the obstacles as ``piece 1'' to ``piece 7'', from RIGHT to LEFT respectively. Make the first Lemming a Climber after it reflects. When it starts climbing piece 2, set off another Climber. After the first climber reflects off piece 3, make it Mine to the right from tight into the corner of piece 2. Make the next climber Build left from the middle of the same block of piece 2, up towards piece 3. Start another Climber about now. Build left against the right edge of piece 5, causing the builder to reflect. Use this Lemming to Mine right from the very left edge of piece 4. If it starts too far to the right, the non-climbers won't make it up the step formed at the other side. Use the next Lemming to Build left from the same point. Use the last Builder at the left end of piece 5. Mine piece 6, Bash piece 7, and finally Bash piece 1, using one of the climbers to ensure accurate clicking. ``Tension Sheet, Good Idea'' Loss of Lemmings: One Make the first Lemming a Climber and a Floater. Build over the small gap above the lake. Mine the tiny piece after the steel and just before the gap left of the exit - this gets the Lemming low enough to build and reflect. Build x2 at the last possible second, allowing a little delay between the builders to stagger the ramp. Mine just left of the steel after reflection, and then Bash along under the lake. Start a Digger among the horde, just left of the left end of the buried steel, when the basher is about halfway under the lake. This will allow time for left-going members of the horde to reflect in the basher's tunnel. The basher will die, but all others should make it. ``The Magnificent Severn'' Loss of Lemmings: One Make the third Lemming a Blocker, isolating two Lemmings on the right and containing the horde on the left. Bash the first four pillars, and Mine just before reflecting off the last one. Make the first of the two a Climber, let it climb the steel and go down the ramp, then Bash right just before reflecting. When it drops at the right end of the screen, Dig immediately, so that it doesn'tt have a chance to climb the high wall, and so it leaves a ledge on the right. Let it climb and relfect, then Build just before the exit in order to pass over it. When it gets two-thirds of the way to the left on the exit level, quickly go and Explode the blocker, releasing the horde. Make the advance Lemming Build at the left end of the exit platform, and then make the other one walking in the pit above it Dig at the right end of the upper level, while going right, so it lands on the ramp which the builder will have just completed. ``The Starry Threshold'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Let the Lemmings relfect, then make the 2nd Lemming a Blocker, when it is just above the middle of the three wedge shaped pieces under the platform. Make the free Lemming a Digger just right of the left wedge, so that it will break out and land on the right side of the wedge and reflect and walk right before dropping, and so that an overlap ensures that subsequent Lemmings falling down its shaft will also walk up the wedge and reflect. Build right from the steel just before the big drop to the small lake. Make this Lemming a Floater. Hopefully, it will land on the steel right of the small lake. Just before it reflects off the sandstone, make it Build. It will reflect. Make it Build x3 left from just under the right hand edge of the hanging steel. It will reflect again. Bash the sandstone. Among the main horde, make a Lemming Mine going left, then convert it to a Basher after it has mined down about 6 or 8 pixels, so that it tunnels under the blocker and releases it. Mine the bottom of the first ramp built, above the high drop. ``So close but so far away'' Loss of Lemmings: Four Let the Lemmings reflect, make the first one a Climber, then make it an Exploder, timed from three quarters of the way to the left. Make the fifth Lemming a Blocker just left of the hatch, isolating the exploder plus a further three Lemmings on the left. Make one of the three a Climber, and once it gets out, Build across the small pit, then convert to a Basher just as it places the last plank before reflecting (this is a worthwhile skill, especillay useful in ``Oh, No! More Lemmings'', but you will probably have enough time to let it reflect and come back if you're not confident). Let the basher finish and drop, Build x3 from under the hanging block of steel, going back briefly to the right end of the screen between clicks of the builder to make one of the two remaining isolated Lemmings a Climber. Turn the builder into a Blocker after it places the last (i.e. 36th) plank. When the next Lemming arrives, make it Build just before it reaches the blocker. It will reflect and continue building. Make it Build again a further two times. The ramp should be hgh enough for non-climbers to make it up the step onto the steel (the maximum step is 5 pixels, but you knew that, right?). Bash and Mine the two obstacles respectively. Dig just after the end of the steel, as close to the steel as possible. The margin of error for this is at most 2-3 pixels. Make the last isolated Lemming a Climber. Make the digger Explode, timing it from halfway down the last block of steel before the gap to the exit. It should blow through to the left, but not the right. Explode the blocker which is retaining the horde - the explosion should break them out of the chamber. To give it the personal touch, Explode the blocker on the ramp once the level is complete (or you could just hit the nuke, or wait). ``The Secret Of LEMH'' Loss of Lemmings: One Make the first Lemming a Blocker as soon as it lands, such that the others land between its arms and go right. Just as a Lemming reflects, make it Dig - despite the steel, it will take a little nick out of the sandstone, and so effectively break right a little way. A dozen or so such diggers should be enough to get past the steel. Now click a normal Digger going right, i.e. before it reflects. Let it cut about halfway down the sandstone, then convert to a Basher to break out to the right. Build right just before the little step. Bash through the wood. Dig at the right end just before reflecting off the steel, and convert to a Miner after a few pixels. Destroy the blocker by either means, or wait. ``Flying The Mad Pursuit'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make a Climber going left, wait a few seconds, then make one going right. Mkae the left one Build from the sandstone ledge to get over the exit. Make the right one Bash the snadstone block with the indentation. Let the left one drop, then Mine from the left side of the exit - it should end up in the bottom left chamber; if necessary, make it Bash to stop it. Let it reflect, then Mine right, and Bash as soon as it is low enough to clear the steel. Use the other climber to Bash x5 the strips of wood. When it has started the last one, Dig the sandstone to release the horde. ``What's it like up there?'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero The first few stages must be done quickly in succession, in the order given: make the 2nd Lemming Build as it lands; make the 1st one Build from the extreme end of the platform; make the 3rd one Build from the join between the 3rd and 4th steel blocks. Make the 4th Lemming a Blocker as high up the rightmost ramp as possible. Let the 1st Lemming finish building and reflect, then Build left from the 1st join in the steel, counting from the right. This ramp should meet the previous one and seal off the chasm. To get through the pillar, make the Lemming Dig just as it is about to reflect - 4 to 6 repetitions will suffice. Mine the sandstone on the right just before reflection, then stop the miner at the last second by making it Build. As soon as it reflects, make it a Digger. Build x2, placing the first tile between the marks on the pedestal - it should make a ramp up to the steel without reflecting off it. Build again from the left of the steel to get over the lake, and make the builder a Climber. Build over the lake on the exit level, allowing the builder to reflect. Cause it to reflect back by making it Dig just before it starts to climb back over the wall. Bash through to the exit. Using the first Lemming of a group to ensure accurate clicking, Mine the ramp, releasing the horde to the exit, and the blocker to the right. Make the ex-blocker Build just before the pillar to cause it to reflect, and make it a Floater for safety. Medieval Tribe The Medieval exit is a small castle. ``LEMMING OF NOTTINGHAM'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Scoop to the right to get out of the initial chamber, and again to get out to ground level. Use a Sand Pourer x2 to fill in the small pit. Give one Lemming Icarus Wings and use the Fan to blow it upwards and to the right, over the protruding ledge. After it reflects, make it Scoop left just where the ledge starts, allowing the others up and to the right. Use another Scooper to the right to break into the exit chamber. ``SIR! I KID YE NOT'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make a Twister amongst the rubble and Fan it downwards and to the right. Use a Club Basher to get through each of the thin pillars. Fill the small pit. Get over the block of steel by building a ramp with Sand Pourers. Stomp the platform. Club Bash the rubble to the right to reach the exit. ``ALL IN A KNIGHTS WORK!!'' Loss of Lemmings: One Jump one Lemming over the small pit. The catapult will land it in the top tray. Let it reflect, then Stomp in the middle of the tray. Explode it, starting the timer just before the right hand edge of the small ledge - this will blow through the bulkhead. Jump another Lemming over to the catapult. Jump it over the hole in the tray, then let it reflect and fall down the hole. After it passes through the hole in the bulkhead, Rope back to the bulkhead to block it off. Platform across the water. Stomp to release the main horde. ``WATCH THAT LAST STEP!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make a Stacker on each of the small platforms, and on the grassy part. This should leave a single Lemming going right. Use a Glue Pourer to bridge the gap to the water section. Surf it across the water. As it approaches the pit just left of the exit, use a Sand Pourer to eliminate the step. Make it a Stacker just before the left edge of the pit, and once it has built 5 or 6 steps, change to a Sand Pourer while facing left. Bridge the water with a Glue Pourer. Use a Club Basher to release the horde. ``KING ARTHURS LEMMINGS'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Bomb once, then Club Bash to the right from the bottom of the crater. Stop the horde with an Attractor. When the club basher stops, Build x2 across the hole. Bomb the extreme right edge of the platform so the drop is reduced. Release the attractor by making it Jump. ``Let's Play Twister'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump one Lemming to the stone island at the right and make it a Runner. Let it reflect off the tree, then Jump onto the slope under the hatch. Make it a Twister. Fan the twister left and down, so it lands in the left chamber and walks left. Make it a Slider. After sliding down, Jump right onto the platform and Platform across the lake. Use another Twister to get into the chamber above the exit, being sure to enter to the right of the gap in its floor. Jump over the gap (remember, your advance Lemming is a slider). Start a Twister in the horde, and work it all the way right and down by the portcullis. Twist again to break out to the brown ramps. ``UNDERGROUND'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Fence the first tower. While the fencer is working, start an Attractor. Platform to the trees. When the Lemming reflects, Jump onto the remains of the fence to reflect off the tower and back to the right. Fence the trees, and Platform to the tower. Fence the last tower before the exit. Free the attractor by making it Jump. ``What shall we do now?'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming Stomp at the right hand side, and make the second an Attractor. Stomp again by the castle, allowing the Lemming to relfect twice first, and while going right. Give it a Balloon and use the Fan to guide it all the way up to the top. Let it reflect, and Platform the gap. Bomb x5 from the top of the slope, making each bomb 3/4 of the way to the left in the crater left by the previous one, so as to break through down and left. Use this Lemming to Platform the stomped hole, or if it stops and dances, use one of the dancers (but NOT the attractor!). Release the attractor by making it a Platformer. ``LEMMING IN DISTRESS !!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming a Runner, and immediately make the second an Attractor. Let the runner drop onto the steel, then Jump onto the island, and immediately Jump again to reach the alcove at right. Let it reflect, and Balloon back up to the island. Click an Archer, aiming the arrow at the corner of the hatch ledge. Click another Archer; this time aim a few pixels higher. The second arrow should tag on to the first, making the lake safe. Let the Lemming drop, and Rope up to the bottom left corner of the island, sealing off the route to the right. Build at the left end of the small pile of stones on the exit level - it conceals a dragon, whose trigger is a few pixels left of the pile. ``JUST JOUSTING AROUND'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Click a Glue Pourer - the glue will run to disable the dragon's trigger. Wait for the last Lemming, and make it Rope up to the ledge on the right. Make it a Floater. Position the catapult with 2 links of chain showing on the right. Let the Lemming be launched, reflect and Glue left from beneath the horde, sealing off the lake. Bomb at the left hand end of the horde. If necessary, Balloon the last Lemming past the catapult. Egyptian Tribe The Egyptian exit is pyramid-like with a bit of blue showing. ``Two's Company....'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Bash the wall between the top hatch chambers to join them. Dig from within this tunnel. Use a Flame Thrower and a Bazooker to penetrate the brickwork bulkheads. ``Glued to the Goal!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Use a Glue Pourer at the top to bridge the gap. Use a Flame Thrower x3 to get to exit. At the bottom, Flame Throw the pillar. Start a Platformer over the gap, then make the next Lemming a Glue Pourer to seal it. Use a Glue Pourer x2 to bridge the gap over the sphinx. Let a Lemming reflect at the top right, then Platform towards the purple and blue stuff. Break into exit chamber with another Flame Thrower. ``LABYRINTH OF FUN'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Wait until the first Lemming is about to drop off the first ledge, then start an Attractor near the hatch. When it reflects off the painted pillar, Fence left into the chamber with the small table. Let it reflect twice and fall into the pit just left of the sphinx. Stomp when facing left, and Scoop left down to the exit chamber. Release the attractor by any convenient means. ``Spiralling DNA'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero ``First'', ``second'', etc. refer to the order the Lemmings originally emerge from the hatch. Make the second Lemming into a Twister just before it is about to reflect. When the first Lemming arrives left of the hatch, make it into a Stacker. Delay the third Lemming by making it into a Platformer. Use Super Lemming to fly the stacker back into the horde. Carefully burrow the twister upwards and towards the exit with the Fan. ``Echo of Light'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Bash the tree, then make a Climber, and whilst it is climbing make it a Slider. After sliding, Bash to the right, and make it a Runner. Jump the gap, Bash the last bulkhead, and Jump to reach the exit. Stomp just left of the hatch to release the horde, and Glue right as soon as they land. Bash the two bulkheads, and immediately Glue again. ``RUPER'Z QUESTLING'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero This level is tedious, but simple. Let them reflect, then start a Hopper just before the 4 small pits. The hopper will stop and drop in the third one, while the horde assembles in the first. Wroking with the advance Lemming, Fill while standing on the left side of the pit facing right. Fill the same way again to get out of the next pit. Platform over the lake. Platform the pit containing the trap. Bash the painted column, the table stand, and the tree. Platform over this lake. Rope from about half an inch right of the sphinx to a point halfway up its head. Platform left from the top of the sphinx. Fill x13 to fill up the tall thin pit at the extreme left. Let the Lemming reflect, then Platform right from the top of the sphinx. Fill x6 in the blue painted tray. Platform x2 over the collection of blocks, and Platform the gap above the vase. Bash the bulkhead. Platform the gap above the scales. Fill the small pit. Fill the pit containing the horde, and the pit to its left as well. ``The Egypt Cottage!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jet Pack one going right, and Fan it out so it falls on the ramp to the right of the pit. When it falls stunned, let it reflect, then give it a Balloon and Fan it to the left. Dig just right of the division between the two stone blocks, so as to break into the sphinx chamber but keep digging all the way down tho the steel and make a route out. Fly a Super Lemming from the horde all the way round the ramp on the right, and stub it into the underside of this ramp, above the small island block which covers the big drop. It should walk left and into the digger's shaft. Give it a Parachute, and Fan it left onto the sphinx. Laser Blast to release the horde. ``HEROE'Z QUEST....'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump one Lemming over the block to the left. Stomp into the chamber below, and Stomp again through the block with te eye. Let the Lemming drop, etc., and it will end up in a small pit, the first of three. To get out of these pits, you need to jump the opposite way, so Jump left. Jump right to get out of each of the next two. Platform over the pit containing the trap. Stomp when the Lemming ends up at the bottom and can't fall any further. Fence the sandstone bulkhead, and Fence each of the painted columns. Let the Lemming reflect off the sphinx, then give it a Balloon and Fan it gently right then left, to land on the obvious platform. It should walk left. Let it reflect, then immediately Jump to get onto ramp going up to the right. Let it reflect and Jump left. Let it walk all the way to the left and relfect, then immediately Pole Vault from the right hand bolt of the leftmost block of steel, to land the Lemming stunned in the obvious place - this does take some practice, which is why you get five vaulters! Let it reflect at the top of the ramp, then Jump onto the next one. Do this a further two times. Platform the gap just left of the exit, then make the platformer a Scooper as sson as the gap is sealed over. Stomp from the horde into this chamber to complete the level. ``Wave Pathway'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming a Stacker as soon as it lands, so that subsequent ones land on the stack itself and walk right unhindered. After it builds about six blocks, make it Jump while facing right. Stomp between the two steel blocks, and change to a Basher just before breaking through to the water. Stomp above the eye, and then Bash just above the eye block. Platform x2 over the lake, and Stomp just before the Lemming relfects off the step. Again, convert to a Basher at the last moment, then Stomp, Bash, and Stomp again, avoiding the buried steel. Make it start to Platform over the gap on the right, then go to the main horde and release them with a Basher going right. Go back to the advance Lemming, Stomp at the left end of the chamber just before reflecting, and then convert to a Basher to reach the exit. ``Pyramid of Despair!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Let the Lemmings reflect, then start a Hopper from halfway down the little slope just before the blocks. It will hop across to become the advance Lemming, while the horde collects in the pit below. Let it reflect at the bottom of the steps, then immediately Glue x2 to fill in the small pits further along (it is impossible to pour glue, hop, jump etc. in the tunnel due to restricted headroom). Let it fall into the trap pit, and use a Sand Pourer to cover the trigger. While going right, make it a Rock Climber, and let it clamber out of the pit and up the next wall as well. At the top of this wall, make it Shimmy just as it reaches the top and before it drops to go left. Let it climb up to the little ledge, and Sand Pour to build up towards the overhang. The Lemming will reflect and drop back in the trap pit - let it come round, and Shimmy again, get back up to the same point and Sand Pour again. This time it should be able to clamber out, but if it reflects, bring it back around. Let it walk left along the tunnel under the pit containing the horde, and reflect. Immediately Glue x3 to the right, then let it walk under the pit and Mortar to release the horde. Outdoor Tribe The Outdoor exit is a small green tent. ``Pa-tent-ly Obvious'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Use a Twister to burrow up the pile of leaves to the right hand exit. ``Swing/Roundabout Theory'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Start a Stacker two thirds of the way to the left between the posts. After it builds 4 blocks, make it into a Filler, and then make two more, ensuring that two fills are to the left of the stack and one to the right. ``Glide Like The Wind'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Start a Hang Glider from the hump in the vine bridge above the wasp. Fan it to land on the tree just left of the first frog. Use a Flame Thrower immediately on landing to disable the frog's trigger. Tunnel under the next frog from the step below with Flame Thrower x3. Platform the gap. Delay any oncoming Lemming by (carefully) making it a Flame Thrower if necessary. ``Deliverance ?'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming a Kayaker, and the second into an Attractor to stop the horde. Use an Archer to fire an arrow back into the left edge of the lake, as low down as possible. Free one of the dancers by making it Jump, and make it Glue x2 to bridge over the water. Release the attractor by making it a Roper - ensure the rope does NOT reach. ``Friday's Walk'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming Rope up to the right from the first hump. This should block the horde off, letting one free. Rope up alternately to left and right to get it up to the exit level - if it is walking right, fire a Rope vertically to block and reflect it. Rope across the small gap, then release the horde. ``The Magic of Mushrooms'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Consider the (approximate) layout of mushrooms given on the next page... you might want to ink the route on your printout. Jump a lemming out and Rope down to enable it to walk to the right freely. Rope to M1, let it drop to M3 and M5, Rope to M6, Rope to M7 and Stomp the mushroom cap left of the stem. Let it drop to M9 and M11, and Rope from the end of the grass to M10. Platform out to the exit. Use a Roper to make a way out for the horde. | | ----|---|--- M1 M2 M3 M6 M4 M5 M7 M8 M9 M10 M11 ----------- ``Natural Selection'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero The Lemmings will be split into three groups. Make the first 22 Shimmy, make the next 22 Float, and Jump the remaining Lemmings across the gap. Use Bazookers to get the floater group into the bottom left exit. Use Bombers to get the jumper group into the middle exit. Use Bombers and Bazookers to get the shimmiers to the right exit. ``The Laws of Tradition'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Platform, then start an Attractor. Platform to the stones. Platform over the pit under the steel. Platform again just after it reflects. Fence far enough to clear the steel upright, then Stomp almost to the bottom, then Fence again. Platform across. Release the main horde at this point by making the attractor into a Platformer. Fence with the lead Lemming up towards the exit. If the fencer fails to stop, make it into a Platformer to fill in the space under the exit. ``22934'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming a Runner. It should bound off the last hump in the vine and land on the leaf on the right. Make it an Archer, firing the arrow down and left to create a break for the others falling. Let it drop and reflect, then Build from the right edge of the third hump in this lower section of vine, sealing off the pit. Let it reflect, and Build x3 to the left from the same hump. Meanwhile, Build x5 to the right from the left hump with one of the incoming Lemmings. The two ramps should meet, and the latter one should reach the vertical piece of vine to the right of and a little below the exit. Rope from the top of this ramp to the top corner of the steel by the exit. Break through with a Club Basher facing right. ``Garden of Stone'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Stomp just right of the hatch. When the first one drops between the platform and flower on the right, make it a Runner. Fence right through the flower directly below this, starting the fencer a few pixels back so it just cuts the stem and stops. Platform from the edge. Jump off the platform - the remaining Lemmings should fall on the right edge of the lake. When the runner reflects, Platform the gap. Beach Tribe The Beach exit is a sandcastle with a red pennant. ``Quad Quirks on the Quay!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero From the top left hatch, Flame Throw the sloped part. From the next hatch down, let a Lemming reflect and then Flame Throw the umbrella pole. From the bottom left hatch, Flame Throw the palm tree. From the bottom right hatch, Flame Throw the Lemming beer can. ``The Barley Mow....'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Start a Jet Pack, and Fan it upwards and left of the red and white umbrella. Let it walk along the grass, then Bash just at the bottom of the slope. Rope from near the bottom of the next slope to the ledge on which the beach ball stands. Let it reflect, then Bash the umbrella pole next to the exit. Bash the left umbrella pole to release the horde. ``Cannonball'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump a Lemming out of the pit, and Kayak across lake. Dive from the high platform, and Kayak again. When it reflects at the top right, Jump onto the ramp. Hang Glide from the top, and use the Fan to waft gently into steel tunnel. Bomb at the end of the tunnel, and Laser Blast to release the main horde. Jump the first Lemming to reach the end of the tunnel to give it a head start. When it reflects, make it into a Glue Pourer ``Costal Suction Function'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make 12 of the first Lemmings into Runners. Fan the chain up to full speed. Jump a Lemming from halfway down the slope over the ball and then onto the chain. If it is not near the bottom of the chain, restart the level. Speed the chain up again, and release the Lemming on the right. Jump over the trigger for the zapper, and Kayak across the water. Laser Blast next to the exit to release the horde. ``Sand Stone'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Click an Archer halfway along the pit, firing the arrow to a couple of pixels below the top of the obstacle on the right. Build right with the next Lemming as soon as it lands. The completed ramp should not touch the arrow. Jump one onto the arrow, let it walk all the way to the right and reflect, then Stomp the left edge of the sandstone cliff across the gap from the exit. Stop the stomper after 5 or 6 ``stomps'' by making it Build, and Jump off when the ramp is complete. Make it an Archer on the small mound just above the right edge of the steel, aiming 3/4 or more of the way up the slope. Let it reflect, then Glue right from the arrow. After gluing, it should walk up towards the exit level - Fence the sandstone, and Glue as soon as the fencer finishes. Let it reflect and come back, then Jump to the exit. Jump another one from the horde off the ramp, let it come round and reflect, and Glue from the top of the ramp to the exit. Start a Builder from the top of the ramp to release the horde. ``Beach Lems'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump just before the coconut, and immediately Fence the tree. Platform the lake at the last second, so that one platformer suffices. Scoop before the beach hut, and Scoop again after dropping through. Let it reflect off the coconut, Platform under the zapper to defeat its trigger, and Rope up to the next island. Rope to the right from the umbrella to just above the steel. Fence just before reflecting. Release the horde with a Club Basher. ``SAND IN YER SARNIES'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming Platform the tiny gap between bucket and spade at the last second, so that none escapes. Jump one of the emerging Lemmings off the spade handle, and let it drop to the level below the beach huts. Make it a Runner and a Swimmer. Bash the palm tree, and Jump from the bucket handle. Let it reflect off the steel, then Jump again. Jump over the clam. Mine the beach huts, convreting to a Basher on reaching ground level. Platform the gap and Bash the bucket. Bash the beercan on the way back. ``Beach Mania'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Give one a Magic Carpet, and make the next an Attractor. After the carpet lands and the Lemming reflects, make it an Archer from the left end of the platform, firing the arrow into the bottom corner of the hatch ledge. Let it drop, then Build left from the bottom of the slope on the first small island - this will reflect this Lemming and catch later ones. Bomb while standing on the right hand coconut to get through the tree, and Build x2 from where the tree base was, to get up to the umbrella. Use an Archer x2 from the top of the umbrella, firing the first arrow into the edge of the island on the left and the second into the first, and then Build out over them. Jump onto the exit island, and make an Archer fire an arrow back into the previous one. Jump to release the attractor. ``Sand Blaster'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the 4th Lemming an Attractor, which should leave one loose Lemming. Platform the lake at the last moment. Let the Lemming reflect, an Bazooka left while standing in the notch between the slope and the platform - this should create a reflection point with the steel block. Mortar against the edge of the 3-4 pixel step at the bottom of the castle. Mortar again several times, placing each mortar about halfway up the slope in the hole left by the previous one. In between, use a Bazooka or two as well. The last mortar should break through to the level below, to the right of the lake. Platform under the clam to defeat the trigger, and Bazooka x2 to get through the big clam. Jump to release the attractor. ``Surf Lem !'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Click a Filler just before the right hand bucket, to gain an extra pixel in height for the Scooper, which should break a little gap at the bottom right corner of the bucket. Start a Super Lemming halfway down the scooped tunnel, and fly it out over the beercan and into the spade handle. Let it drop, go all the way left and reflect, come back and drop onto the first small grassy island. In the middle of this island, use an Archer to fire an arrow vertically downwards. This will reflect future Lemmings. Balloon the Lemming back to the left of the arrow. Build left to join the tiny gap between the sloped island and the top left one - if the Lemming reflects, make it a Runner and Jump it up to the arrow. Fill x2 in the scooped hole to release the horde, and Scoop again at the beercan. Sports Tribe The Sports exit is a golf hole flag. ``Ceci n'est pas une pipe.'' Loss of Lemmings: Three After the first steam pipe blows the Lemmings and they start to land stunned, break through to the right by making the first Lemming into a Flame Thrower. After it then lands in the pit to the right, make it a Bomber. Let them be blown all the way round and back into the middle where they congregate, then use the remaining Flame Throwers to free them to the left. ``School Sports Day'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming a Twister. Carefully burrow until it is under the steel wall. Use a Rope up to the steel wall to separate the horde off. Use the Fan to nudge the twister out under the rugby ball (football to Americans!). Rope up to the exit ledge. To release the horde, Scoop the first rope. ``The Octathalon!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Start an Attractor. Jump one Lemming out. Once it drops and reflects at the left hand side of the screen, make it Platform. Platform x2 from a third of the way down the slope, on a level with the pool table. Platform to cover the left hand arm of the ``Y'' shaped hole, using a Jumper to stop the platformer. Jump the attractor to release the horde. ``RRRACKETEERZ!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump the first Lemming over the gap in the top rope, over the red pole and out to the left. When it starts downhill towards the collection of blocks, make it Shimmy to pass over them. When it lands on the green and white chequered block above the lake, Rope upwards and right, to halfway up the edge of the green platform. Rope down and left from the left end of the chequered block, onto the steel. Jump another Lemming out of the horde, and Fence through the handle of the tennis racquet. Jump each of the rest of the horde out onto the racquet. ``Blow Back....'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Fill in the pit, then Stomp at its left edge, stopping the stomper immediately (or as quickly as the mouse handling software will allow!) by making it Jump. Repeat this Stomper and Jumper trick a further three times. ``Double Trouble'' Loss of Lemmings: One Rope from the left end of the ledge to just below the top left corner of the chamber. Exactly one Lemming should escape, and the horde should not climb up above the hatch. With the loose Lemming, fly a Super Lemming up the right hand side of the screen and to the left, landing it on the hexagonal island. Platform from the point, and Jump off when the platform is complete. Make it an Exploder, timed from the first gap in the steel (counting from the right). This should free the horde. Send a Rock Climber over, and Platform from the bottom of the slope to the exit, stopping the platformer after 5 or 6 planks by making it a Fencer. Using the first Lemming of a group, Fence the obstacle. ``Run the Risk'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Build from just before the third join in the steel, making a ramp to get the Lemmings into the small pit at the right. Get one out onto the bent pipe above by either using a Super Lemming or by clicking a Pole Vaulter at the bottom of the initial slope. Let it drop down to the right and reflect, then Platform x2 to the left, under the pit where the horde is collecting. Stop the platformer with an Archer, leaving a small gap so it drops on the outcrop below and reflects. Let it drop, and Build x2 from the bottom of the small slope. The ramp should tie up nicely with the narrow tunnel on the right. Stomp just before reflecting off the steel on the right, and then Fence right to break into the next chamber. Let it walk up, and Build right from the top of the slope, let it reflect and Build left to get up to the next slope. Make it a Stacker near the top of the slope - when it finishes stacking, it will drop and come back round. This time, it will reflect off the stack; Platform right to reach the cliff above the exit. Stomp the edge of the cliff so as to cut a step into it, stopping the stomper halfway down with an Archer. Stomp among the horde to release them. ``The Sun Sign Selection'' Loss of Lemmings: One In quick succession, Jump one over the block, Jump again onto the steel, then Jump again out to the right, clicking the last one while over the left bolt of the steel. It should catch the left edge of the trampoline and drop. Jump to doge the tennis ball and get it to reflect and go left. Make it a Kayaker. Let it reflect to face right, and Balloon up to the top of the chamber, landing on the vaguely ``Q'' shaped island. Platform the gap from the tail of the Q to the steel - let this Lemming walk off and die. Jump another over the block, give it Magno Boots, and Laser Blast under the right hand end of the horde. ``The Nervous Network!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump one out, and Glue, thus covering the gaps. Rope from the second glue bridge to the concavity in the pipework, just left of and below the green and white block. Let it walk up the rope and reflect, making it Bomb while standing on the rope hook, just as it has turned to go left - this will ensure it continues to go left when it lands stunned, which isn't important for this bomb but is for subsequent ones. Let it come back and walk up the remnant of the rope, then Rope from the top of it to the top left corner of the block. Scoop right while actually standing on the block, then immediately convert the scooper to a Roper, and rope up to the concave elbow of the next pipe. Bomb the pipe, again ensuring the Lemming is facing left. When it comes back, Rope horizontally to the grenn stuff, so the rope is placed not far above the steel, and so the top of the hook is a few pixels removed from the rope. Bomb once more. When it returns, Rope a final time to complete the path to the exit. Use a Glue Pourer to create a step, releasing the horde. ``Take up Archery'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero This level is very frenetic. You will need fingers poised above F1-F5 throughout. Where it says ``Archer x2'' in the solution, click the first archer and fire the arrow, then click and fire another one so that the second arrow lands in the tail of the first one. Make the first Lemming a Runner as it appears. Jump from the middle of the last block, to land stunned on the outcrop on the right. Make it an Archer, firing the arrow down and left into the block below the chequered one. Make it an Archer again immediately, aiming for the tail of the previous arrow. Let it reflect, then Jump onto the arrows. At the bottom of the screen, Jump from the block before the chequered one, and Archer x2 back to create a ramp for the oncoming Lemmings. A good aiming point is the bottom left square of the chequered pattern. At the next gap, Jump and Archer x2 again. Rope from the second red square of the big chequered block, to a point a few pixels from the left edge of the column high above with the sloped underside, at an angle of about 70 degrees. This should trap the runner which will bound between the rope and the ledge. When the next Lemming arrives, make it an Archer when it is level with the top of the ledge, and aim horizontally left to a point deep in the body of the ledge island. This should seal off the gap between rope and ledge. When the runner gets up to the level part, make it an Archer, firing the arrow horizontally left into the wall. Make it an Archer again halfway along, firing the arrow vertically down to create a reflection point. Jump it onto the horizontal arrow to reflect it, and Jump it back over the vertical one and into the horde. Rope up from the arrow to the top corner of the exit ledge. Shadow Tribe The Shadow exit is a picture of the ``Tardis'' time machine from the TV programme ``Doctor Who''. ``Land of OZ!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Flame Throw the triggers of the Lemming traps. Flame Throw through the letters ``OZY''. Jump one out of the pit, and Fill the traps to defeat the triggers. Fill the small pit on the left. Fill the first pit to release the horde. ``NITRAM THE HUGE!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero The key to this level is getting down the ``ladder'' of chambers beneath the hatch. Use a Twister for the first two steps by driving it partially into the pillar on the right, straight down, back left into the chamber and down through the floor. Use a Digger, a Bomber and a Stomper for the other three. Tunnel under the lake with a Basher. Fence through the house roof. ``Twin Bleeps'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero The key to this level is that while the level is symmetrical, the solution is not. Starting with the left hatch, Flame Throw to the right, then Flame Throw left from the tiny pit (this needs a bit of luck), let the Lemming drop, and Flame Throw to the right through the pillar on the exit level. For the other group, Rope up to the block on the left, Flame Throw through, and let the Lemmng fall. Rope up again, and then Rope again to reach the steel. Fill the small pit. ``The Pancake Factory.'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Give a Lemming a Jet Pack and Fan it round to the left of the trap chamber. Bash into the chamber, and Glue the triggers. Bash left through the pock-marked stone. Glue the three gaps, pouring the first as late as possible, and Glue the trap trigger. Bash left from the main horde to release them. ``Swingadingding'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero There is an easier way to do this, but it's less dramatic... Fan the chain to full speed. Make a Lemming a Rock Climber, then immediately Fan the chain again. The Lemming will pick it up as it falls. Release it on the right. Bash out towards the lake, Platform over it, and Laser Blast to release the horde. ``The School Gate.'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Disable the trap trigger with a Filler. Rope from about 1.5 inches left of the gate to the corner of the steel. Fly a Super Lemming from this steel round to the top right house. Fence back to release the main horde. Position the cannon with 3 links of chain showing on the left. After one Lemming has been successfully launched onto the ramp, move the cannon. When it reaches the top, Fill the pit and Rope the gap. Reposition the cannon for the rest of the Lemmings. It will take some time for them all to get out. ``Fritbatter Frolics!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make one Lemming a Climber, then make it a Swimmer as well. Jump from the top of the blocks. Let it swim the small lakes, and reflect. Scoop left, above the left edge of the steel column. Stop the scooper by making it Jump. Scoop right with a member of the horde. ``Goosen's Inferno!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Bazooka x2 through the pillar. Platform from 3/4 of the way down the slope, sealing off the gap. Meanwhile, make the next Lemming an Attractor, and make the platformer a Runner. Fence through the building and Fill the pit. Bash under the tree. At the bottom right corner, Fill to defeat the triggers. Bash x4 through the bulkheads. Fill the pit. Release the attractor. Move the left hand cannon fully to the right. Assist the cannons by making Lemmings from the thicker bunches Balloon to the exit. ``SPINNY THANG....'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Rope vertically underneath the bottom steel step, to separate off a single Lemming to the right. Make it a Twister, and Fan it down, cutting a step, then right and up at a steep angle. Do this carefully and with patience. If you disturb the twister by going up too steeply, let it come back and click it again. Laser Blast x6 to remove a chunk of the platform above, between the bottom of the slop and the right trap trigger. Rope up to the left, so the Lemming climbs up the rope and up the triangles. Glue the trigger of the top right trap. Use a Twister to cut the original rope and release the horde. ``Moonswings'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the third Lemming an Attractor as it lands. Jump x3 the first one over the trap triggers, then Build from the right end of the ledge. When the builder finishes, make it a Super Lemming and fly it left into the vertical face, thus reflecting it. Glue the top of the ramp. Let it walk on, and it should drop on the steel at the right end of the lake. Build x2 to reach the ledge on the right, let it reflect, and Build left. Let it drop, then make it a Planter just as it reaches the edge of the pit. Release the attractor by making it Stomp. Cavelem Tribe The Cavelem exit is a crude stone archway. ``Audex Powder'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Allow the first two dinosaurs to flick the Lemmings. Just before the tail of the third, Stomp a few pixels, and then change the stomper to a Club Basher. ``Successive division'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Stomp the small piece of rubble in the centre. Stomp one group through to the next central chamber. Staying with this group, Scoop right, then left, then left again to the exit. Stomp to release the other group. ``Mortal men doomed to die'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jump a Lemming as soon as it lands. It will bound round on the trampolines to the left of the exit. Platform across to the exit, and start a Stomper on the left side of the main horde while the platformer is still building (due to time constraints). ``A stompin' good time!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Do the left hatch first. Stomp, then Scoop on the extreme right of the next chamber. Rope from just before the exit to the underside of the right steel block, and Stomp this rope at the exit door. Release the right hatch group with two Stompers. ``This Is The Pits!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Start a Stacker on the small knoll on the first small pice of level ground just down from the hatch. One Lemming will get past the stack. Make it Stomp in the indentation just above the left edge of the water. Platform over the water, and Fence left to get to the exit chamber. Fence the stack to release the horde. ``Ain't No Time'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Stomp out. Rope from the dinosaur's body to the ledge on the left. Build x2, from a high up this ledge as possible towards the exit. Fill x2 the small pit. Glue to the left from the extreme right of the screen to disable the dinosaur's flick trigger. ``Deadly Exit'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero We will use the upper of the right exits. Note the proliferation of two-eyed traps. Make the first Lemming Scoop under the left eye, then immediately (i.e. before it takes it's first step down) stop it by making it Jump. This will disable the trigger for the trap. Rope from the top of the rise to the small projection two-thirds of the way up the slope on the next island. Lemmings will collect between this hill and the vine to its right. Jump one of the incoming Lemmings onto the vine, and then Platform from under the left eye of the trap - if positioned correctly, this will disable both traps. Rope from a position on the left but within the pit in which the hore has collected to a point near the top of the left stem of the vine. ``Wilma!'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the first Lemming a Stacker at the right end of the ledge. One will get past - Balloon it back amongst the horde, popping the balloon on the leaf. When the stacker completes, let it drop, then make it Stack again where it lands. Jump off the top of this stack facing left, Jump again, then immediately Stack again. Jump off this stack to the left, and the Lemming should be free. Let it get down to the island in the middle of the screen, where it will reflect, then Balloon it up and round to the tail of rock dangling from the hatch ledge. Stack at the bottom of this rock, and Jump off to the right. Fence in the corner under the horde. After the Lemming reflects, it should find its own way down to the tray directly above the exit. Fill x3 in this tray. Stack on the right end of the leaf, and once more Jump off to the left. Jump one out of the horde, and Bomb to break into the fencer's tunnel. Fill to release the horde. ``EVOLUTION OF LEMMINGS'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Jet Pack one out to the right past the mushroom. Give it a Parachute, and let it drift all the way to the bottom. Platform the gap. Laser Blast x2 to cut a hole in the level above, but making sure it is under the overhang of the level above that. Jet Pack up and onto the right of the ledge which was just lasered. Balloon up and left, let reflect so as to be facing right, then Balloon up onto the sigmoid shape on the left end of the lake. Hang Glide from the top of the sigmoid, and Balloon before reflecting, up and round to the right onto the top ledge in this chamber. Bash right, and Platform to seal off the chimney. Let the LEmming relfect, drop down, etc. and then Platform x3 over the lake. Bash the sigmoid, let the Lemming drop, etc. Stomp the level above the exit, which was previously lasered, then convert the stomper to a Basher. Bash the mushroom to release the horde. ``Ah'm No Done Yet'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make the 4th Lemming an attractor halfway up the knoll. One should walk free. Let it drop and reflect off the mushroom, then immediately Glue to the left. Fence through the rubble and into the skeleton's jaw. Shimmy under the jawbone. Platform right from the mini-ledge. Stomp directly above the exit. Release the attractor with a Jumper. Space Tribe The Space exit is a square block with a galactic picture and a revolving light on top. ``HIT THE SPACE BAR'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Give one Lemming a Jet Pack and Fan it down to the ledge under the pit where the rest are ending up. Mortar the underside of the pit to free them. ``Perpetual motion'' Loss of Lemmings: One Jump the first two Lemmings from the left hand pit to the right hand pit. Jump one of them out to the right, and give it Magno Boots just before it meets the obstacle. When it is about two thirds of the way round, Jump the other one out and give it Magno Boots. When the first one reaches level ground, Jump it to remove the magno boots and then make it a Platformer, late enough to cover the gap but early enough to cause it to place all 12 planks before reflecting. Then make the other an Exploder just before it hits ground level. The first one should drop through the hole it leaves and go left. Platform to the exit, then Fill x2 each of the pits to release the horde. ``THE LEMMINGS HAVE LANDED'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Make a Runner. Jump it out to the right, and Jump again from between the last and second last blocks. When it lands stunned, make it a Rock Climber and a Slider. Let it climb the first pillar, jump it to the second and let it climb the third. Let it slide down the other side of the third, and make Jump between the ledges in that pit. You might want to Fast Forward at this point. Jump it onto the airlock wall at the bottom right. When it gets under the steel above and right of the exit, make it Shimmy across the gap, and when it drops Platform the other one. Be ready to make it a Fencer as soon as it stops. Now Stomp from the right hand end of the horde. Do not be alarmed when the fencer reflects. Fence again in the horde once the stomper hits steel and stops. You may have to do it twice if the first one goes left. ``The Vortex'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero Rope left twice, to provide a path out of the little pit and over the steel wall. Mortar the thin obstacle (from very close range). Club Bash out into the next chamber, and again into the next. Stomp from just about where the Lemmings land stunned (to avoid the steel buried a little further left). Stop the stomper by making it into a Club Basher (which will go left), and once a bit of space clears, Club Bash right as well. Mortar the two minor obstacles, from close up. ``The Stainless Steel Lemm'' Loss of Lemmings: Zero This level looks easy at first, but there is a twist - we will be using bombers to get through some ropes, and it is very easy to kill the odd Lemming by mistake in the process (and not notice - I got ``silver'' on my first two attempts having thought I'd lost none!) Jump the first Lemming to emerge to give it a head start, then makeit Rope across the gap to a little over half way up the top steelblock (the height is fairly critical - too high and the horde escapes,too low and the jumps won't work). Jump a Lemming from about twothirds of the way up this rope onto the column at the right, and makeit a Slider. Immediately go and Jump another one out - make this oneRope the gap to the right down which the slider has just disappeared.You'll see later why. When the slider reaches the bottom, Balloon itup the shaft below the first rope, and Fan it into the lower of thetwo platforms below the horde. Let it reflect, then Rope from the topof the little slope at the end of the platform to halfway up the steelblock on the right which is level with the platform above. Let itreflect again, then Bomb just to the left of the bottom of the ropeit just made, to put a small gap in it. Now Bomb just left of thebottom of the original rope - make sure you still have 59 Lemmings! ``Lunar Olympics''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroJump one out, and Jump again over the gap. Pole Vault fromthe 6th yellow block. Shimmy across the gap. Make the Lemming aRunner. Hop from halfway along the last block before the gaps - itshould get all the way to the right. When it gets down to the bottom right corner, make it a Climber. Throw a Spear from the second lastblock, so it lands in the block above the exit to create a step tobreak the horde's fall. Fill to release the horde.``GoSh It'S FuLl Of LeMmS''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake one a Stacker as it lands from the hatch. Jump right after5 blocks, and immediately Jump again. It should land on the lowerof the two islands with triangles on the left end. Stack whenhalfway along the narrow tunnel to cause a reflection. Platform x2from the bottom of the triangle to seal off the drop. Let it reflect(Jump it to reflect off the wall if necessary) and Stomp theright end of the platformed piece. Bazooka x3 from the bottom ofthe big slope to break through to exit chamber. Fill orPlatform to release the horde.``Odyssey''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroStack exactly at the right hand end of the level bit of the hump -one pixel to the left and it will be to far to jump, one to the rightand the laser will not cut through (see below). The secondLemming will get past - make it Stack just under the overhang. Makethe first one a Rock Climber. When the first stack is complete, Jumpthe Lemming off to the right - it should clamber away over thesawtooth shapes. Stop the second stacker while facing left by tryingto Shimmy. Wait for the rock climber to be transported to thebottom of the screen. Laser Blast just left of the underside of thepit into which Lemmings are being transported, so that the tiny lowerchamber is breached but the laser beam stops on the steel. Stompwith one of the Lemmings in the pit on the right hand side - theyshould all get out to the left, and none should go right. Jump the climber onto the bottom of the chain, Fan it to full speed, andrelease it within the maze. It should climb round to the transporteron the right, and emerge under the left hatch horde. Laser Blastexactly at the right end of the gap in the steel, so that the firststack is completely removed.``Inside The Steel Box''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroStack just before reflection, tight against the steel. Rope fromthe edge of the big steel block up to the point of the triangle.Rope up and left to the next triangle. Make the Lemming aRunner. After transportation, let the Lemming bound down andreflect, then Platform starting about half an inch back from theedge. When the platform is complete, Fill x2 before dropping. For the paranoid, it might be worth a Builder over the trigger as well. Letthe Lemming go up to the right and reflect, then Build to the nextslope, let reflect, and Platform to the right. These transporterslead to the exit. Rope from among the horde to the top of thestack.``Frontier of surreality''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroJump x2 to get one out. Make it a Runner. Let it drop andreflect. Jump x2 to the left get up over the obstacles - there areobvious timing marks. Let the Lemming be transported to the top right,and Bazooka immediately on arrival. Jump from the killer robot'sfeet to get over its trigger, and again into the pound-sign.Club Bash through, meanwhile making the Lemming a Rock Climber. Jumpfrom the end of the ledge. Let the Lemming clamber round to the leftof the exit, then Glue to make a bridge. Club Bash the step inthe horde pit. Blast the horde out by repeatedly firing a Bazookaclose against the left wall.Polar TribeThe Polar exit is an igloo with a Scottish flag.``Lem Me Out !'' Loss of Lemmings: ZeroFlame Throw left to get out of the initial pit. Break into the nextchamber by using Mortar x3 from under the right hand edge of the initial pit. Start a Runner, and use it to Glue the gap over thepit near the right hand side. Glue again. Blow through to the exitby firing a Bazooka twice, using a Lemming standing about halfwayacross the glue.``Ice Ice Lemy''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroClick a Stacker just left of the snowman. Jump over andFlame Throw the tree. Fence from the bottom of the steep slope.Fence the snowman, and make the Lemming a Skater. Laser Blastafter the ramp. Flame Throw through the stacker's blocks.``Snow More Lems''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroNote that the obvious igloo isn't an exit!Let them reflect, then Rope from the left side of the hill to therear tree, allowing one Lemming to slip by. Quickly make the latterLemming a Runner. At the bottom, Rope from the long, steep slopeup to the steel at the left. Rope from the left steel block insideup to the block halfway up the shaft. Use more Ropers and aFencer to get out. Bazooka the tree on the right of the firsthill.``DANGER THIN ICE !''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroLet the Lemmings walk freely, then Balloon one which is walkingleft out of the pit they collect in and Fan it to land on the snowslope on the left. If you get one which walks right, try again. Makethis free Lemming a Skater to get it over the ice. Platform the gap on the exit level. Balloon another Lemming out, let it slip onthe ice so it turns round, and only then make it a Skater. When itdrops down and reflects in the lower pit, make it a Stacker at theleft end of the pit. When it gets up to the level of the ice, make itPlatform x2 while it is facing left, to cover the ice. Fill x6in the pit to release the horde. Bazooka the tree from halfwayacross the platformed gap.``Take Your Best Shot !''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroRope left to the tree as soon as the first Lemming touches theground. When the first one reaches the level of the snowball, Jumpit out. Let it fall to the second small island, then Rope to thesnow outcrop. Rope the small gap, then Scoop at the left end.When it reflects, Rope from the middle block up to a convenienticicle to seal off the return route. Bomb where it has justscooped, then Bazooka x3 to get through the narrow gap in thesteel. Fill if needed. Scoop from as far left as possible, thenFence and Scoop to reach the exit. Release the horde with aRope from the tree base to the snowball. ``Turn Back !''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroIf you've struggled with a more conventional solution, you'll kickyourself..... Have a look at the underside of the main hill. Countfour major icicles to the right, and then look at the single pixel gapjust to the left of this. Start an Attractor, then Jump one Lemming free. Stomp just leftof the indentation at the bottom of the hill. Stop by making itJump at the last possible second. Club Bash to the left, and theLemming will drop through the aforementioned gap. Platform x3 toreach the exit. Release the attractor by making it Jump.``SLIPPIN & SLIDING''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake the first Lemming Stack just before the penguin. Two of theothers will get past the stacker. Platform the small gap with thefirst - the second will fall down the hole. Bomb at the extremeright hand end on the same level, to reduce the height of the drop(and make it non-lethal). Let the bomber fall and land stunned (ifit's killed, start again!), and make it Platform to the exit. Thenext Lemming (remember the stacker?) will arrive before the platformis complete - delay it by making it an Archer. Bomb the base ofthe stack to release the horde.``Snowed In !''Loss of Lemmings: ThreeLeft hatch: Give one Magno Boots to get it out and then Jump tothe right. Let it reflect from the tree and drop down, then Fencethe obstruction right of the cannon. Platform to the island withthe penguin, and again to the exit. Fence to the left from the lefthatch horde, then time an Exploder from the extreme right of thepit. Right hatch: time an Exploder from the right hand end of the pit, and another (going left) from just right of the landing pointbelow the hatch.``Its all up hill !''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroAs soon as the first Lemming lands, Rope to the island on the left.Start a Runner. Build from the top of this island to the next one.Build right with a Lemming stadning on the right cannon controlarrow. Mine left from just right of the penguin. Build x2 left fromtwo thirds of the way up the slope to the right of the penguin. Whenthe miner finishes, Build again to complete the ramp started at thecannon control arrow. Fly a Super Lemming from the right hand sideof the scrren up and onto the top island. Jump it left onto thesteel, then make it a Super Lemming again and fly it round to theleft of the exit. Immediately after it reflects at the left side ofthe screen, make it Mine right. When the miner breaks through andthe horde clambers up, let one reflect then Build right from thetop of the mineshaft to get to the exit.``Stay Frosty''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroStart an Attractor. Jump one Lemming free, and make it aTwister at the bottom of the first slope on the right, level withthe top of the steel. Fan it left a little way to leave a sharp edge. Jump another Lemming free from the horde, and make it Gluex2. When it reaches the snow at the right end of the glue, make it aTwister just before it reflects. Fan it through the snow to theright. Make the attractor Jump to release the horde. Fan thefirst twister left to free it, then give it Icarus Wings and Fanit to the right. Highland TribeThe Higland exit is a British K2 red telephone box, into which theLemmings stagger drunkenly.``CREAM OF LEMMING SOUP''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroBazooka x2 to get through the block. Start a Twister and Fanit down and right to the octagonal chamber on the exit level. Bazookax2 the bulkhead from close up to break through to the exit.``WEE BEASTIES !!!''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake a Runner, and Jump it up the ladder of slopes, and acrossthe chasm to the right. When it lands at the bottom, reflect it by making it Jump into the vertical face of the block on which theScottie dog is standing. Use it to Fence up and release the horde.``Stop your ticklin' Jock!'' Loss of Lemmings: ZeroBuild up to the island, then Build from the left of the redflower to the small crop of tartan. The Lemmings will bound round onthe trampolines to the pit just right of the exit. Fill x3 in thepit to free them. ``A mere stone's throw''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake the 5th Lemming an Attractor, then make the one that drops inthe pit Throw from just right of the centre of the pit. Use moreThrows to build this into a ramp running up to the right edge ofthe pit. The last stone thrown will be one pixel above the pit floorlevel. Fill to the right while standing left of the stones, and theLemming will walk free up to the right. Now make a ramp of stones byusing Throws going right, using the join between the big and smallsteel blocks as a timing mark. Jump a couple of other Lemmings outof the attractor's spell to assist with this process. When the laststone is placed, Jump all but one back into the dancing horde.Fill under the stone from the outside, then Fill again whilestanding on the previous fill. Release the attractor. Fence throughto the exit if necessary, stopping the fencer by making it a Jumperor Thrower.``DONALD WHARS YER LEMMING'' Loss of Lemmings: ZeroStart with the left hatch. Jump a Lemming over the block andPlatform at the bottom of the ramp. Let the second Lemming reflecttwice and then make it Build to the right from two thirds of theway up the slope. Pick a Lemming which has just reflected at thebottom of this pit, and Club Bash to take away the bottom of thebuilder's ramp. The first Lemming should just be finishing hisplatform - start it to Platform again, and let it place twoplanks before making it Jump, to land on the right exit island.Make it Platform from halfway across the tartan. The second Lemmingwill now have finished building - Jump it from the end of the firstplatform to land where the first one did. Make it Build just beforeit steps up onto the platformed piece - it will reflect. Platformtwice and then Build to cover over the central pit. Release each ofthe horde groups with a Club Basher. Click the release button to keepthe Lemmings off the chain.``Brigadoom!''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroLeft hatch: Jump one out to the right, and then Hang Glide fromthe end of the grass, and Fan it down so it lands on the right handside of the lake marked ``Clyde built''. Rope right from the greyisland up to the point of the tartan. When it is about to reflect,Laser Blast to release the right hatch group. Hang Glide andFan it over the exit to the other grey island. Rope up to thepoint of the tartan. Jump another out of the left hatch group, andimmediately Hang Glide from the top of the obstacle. It will crashand reflect. Surf x2 across the water, and Laser Blast from theright hand edge of the lower grey step to release the horde.``In memory of McAngus'' Loss of Lemmings: ZeroShift the right hand cannon to leave one link of chain showing to theright. Let a Lemming from the right hatch reflect, then Jump it left to land at the middle cannon. Jump to avoid triggering thecannon, then Platform the hole. Move the left cannon to leave 2links of chain showing on its right. Move the middle cannon fully tothe right - as soon as a Lemming has been launched, move it back. Whenthis Lemming reaches the steel-topped tartan column, make it aStacker. After five or six bricks, Jump off while facing left.Move the middle cannon fully to the right.``The White Heather Club''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMove the cannon to leave 3 links of chain showing on the left. Afterone Lemming has been shot, move the cannon fully to the right. Make itHop just before the bottom of the yellow slope. It should stopbetween the stone and the wave shape. Jump right from just right ofthe stone to get out. Let it reflect off the Scottie dog and drop,then immediately Bash to get out. Hop the first group of gaps,and Platform the next. Bash the bulkhead. Let it reflect, thenJump onto the exit island, Jump again to get over the obstacleand Jump past the exit. Platform at absolutely the last second,sealing off the gap to the right of the island. Let it reflect, thenLaser Blast just before the exit, cutting the left of the two stone``stalactites''. ``TAKE A RUNNING JUMP !!''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake the first Lemming a Rock Climber and a Floater. Make the next onean Attractor, just as the first one drops off the edge. Let it climbround and then, halfway down the slope to the exit, give itIcarus Wings and Fan it left and into the slope, thus effectivelyreflecting it. Flame Throw x3 to get through the stone, being sureto leave a clear gap on the left. Platform x2 to seal off the drop.Release the attractor by making it Jump.``EAT MY SHRAPNEL !!''Loss of Lemmings: OneMake the 3rd Lemming an Attractor at the bottom of the first valley. One should escape over the hill to the right - make it aRock Climber. Jump it onto the steel wall at the end of the grass, andmake it an Exploder, timing from halfway up the second last steelblock before the thin bulkhead, which should be blown away. Jumpthe rightmost dancer to free it, and quickly Balloon one out of thehorde (NOT the attractor!) and Fan it across, bursting the balloonto land it on the ramp about in line with the one that jumped free.Make it a Slider. When the one walking along the grass getsunderneath the steel column, make it Mortar - the explosion shouldblow the slider through the gap created by the exploder. Jump itonto the rock, let it swing into the sloped tunnel, and Jump it atthe bottom of the slope, to prevent it swinging round and going to theexit. Platform x2 over the lake, and release the attractor.Circus TribeThe Circus exit is a small red and white big top tent.``LIGHTLINES....'' Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMove the cannon fully to the right. Jump a Lemming out to it. Letit be shot, reflect, and drop to the middle level. Jump in thedirection indicated by the yellow arrow. Make it a Climber. When itgets halfway along the red arrow (walking right on the bottomplatform), just where the platfrom changes from green to yellow, makeit Laser Blast. Glue just before the end of the platform. Jumpanother Lemming out of the horde, and make it follow the same route.Jump over the hole made by the previous laser blast. Laser Blastjust before it reaches the green blocks and reflects, and the overlapshould release the horde.``Lemmings In The Family''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroLet the Lemmings bounce all the way to the right, reflect and walkleft. Stomp the column suspended from the platform, between the 4thand 5th trampolines, counting from the right edge of the screen. Whenthe stomper has almost reached the bottom and broken through, changeit into a Flame Thrower. Fill x2 the pit.``We're Coming Home''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake the 2nd Lemming Scoop as late as possible, while stillallowing it to scoop twice before reflecting off the steel, thus forming an impassable barrier and causing relfections. Make the 1stLemming Platform x5 from the end to reach the flag by the exit. Inbetween platformers (but not all in one go), make a Twister justwhere the scooper was started, and Fan it down and left to cut aslope the others can walk up. Fan the twister vertically upwards tocancel it. Once the main platform is complete, we want to platformright from the peak where the twister was started - this is a bittricky, but one easy way to do this is to start a Stacker, thenimmediately chnage it to a Platformer while facing right. If thestep up is too high for the horde, place another Platformer at theright end to create an extra step, stopping it with a Jumper if itends up going left.`` `Round the Blox!''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroThis level is trivial, as there is a vast surplus of gadgets. Thesolution below is merely an example....From the top hatch, make a Twister and Fan it round the yellowroute. Use an Attractor to delay the horde. Let it walk on, thenmake another Twister and cut the nest bit, then Bash to theexit. Bash left from the lower hatch to join up with the twister'stunnel. Release the attractor by any convenient means.``Big Top Time''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake the 2nd Lemming Scoop three-quarters of the way up the slope.Let the first bound over, then Platform at the very bottom of theright slope to seal off the gap, just above the exit level.Platform halfway down the same slope with the next Lemming that comes across. Make the last Lemming to drop onto the lower platformBash left, then Platform to reach the exit. Bash (either way)using one standing in the dip between the slope and the platform torelease the horde.``HEADACHE''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake a Climber, and make it Bomb halfway down the second triangular segment, to leave a nice point on the right. Move thecannon two little clicks (about a third of a chain link) off the lefthand end. The Lemming should be shot all the way to the exit platform.Immediately Bomb. Let it reflect, then Glue left, sealing off thedrop. Let it climb up to the hatch level, walk along, and Glue thehole made by the first bomb. Let it rejoin the horde, climb the wallon the left, drop and come back. To ensure accurate clicking, use thereturning climber to Fence the obstacle - wait with the mouse pointer at the right end, and count 4 or 5 seconds after it landsbefore clicking the fencer. Make the last Lemming over the wallBomb the lower glue, just above the left edge of the red and yellow2x2 block. Immediately make it a Jump to get it up to thetrampoline level. Move the lower cannon so two links of chain are showing on the left. After each Lemming is shot, see where it lands,and advance the cannon a single pixel to the right. Once one lands onthe exit level, leave the cannon where it is. If you go too far, ifeven a single Lemming lands on the 2x2 block, you'll have to redo thelevel (unless you're VERY, VERY lucky and it's the climber!)``Circus Of Fear''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroMake a Climber. Rope horizontally across the small gap, andRope up form the middle of the steel pit to the block. Let theLemming drop, and Bazooka as soon as it lands. Rope from theedge of the bazooka hole to the cone, and Stomp the end of theplatform. Let it drop and reflect, then Fill each of the smallpits. Fire a Rope up and right from amongst the horde to get themout. ``PLAY THAT FUNKY LEMMING''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroLet the first Lemming drop and bounce (as if you had a choice!), thenBash the red pillar. Move the cannon all the way to the right. Letone be fired up to the ledge, let it reflect, then immediatelyScoop left. Stomp completely through the ladder of triangular segmentsleading up to the cannon platform, so the Lemmings walk free under thecannon. Stop the scooper when it is level with the middle of themiddle diamond shape by making it Jump. Let it reflect and come back,and then Bash into the diamond, and Scoop from the other sidedown to the level where the horde is situated, again stopping thescooper with a Jumper. Bash through from the horde to meet thescooped tunnel. Scoop right into the next chamber, and let theLemmings walk up the triangle ladder. Bash the first of the twosmall red blocks, and Jump one Lemming over the second. Let it walkall the way left, Jump over to the blue platform, let it climb up,and Jump onto the face and then onto the slope above the exit.Scoop into the left chamber of the two cyclic arrows, by theshortest route, then Bash into the arrowhead. Let it reflect andcome back, the Jump from halfway down the little slope to land onthe right. Scoop from the first join in the blocks, and Platform to the red hump. If necessary, let it reflect off the blockrestraining the horde and Platform again to complete the route.Bash the red block, and Bash through from the arrow chamber tothe exit.``The Carpet Capers....''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroStart a Pole Vaulter just before the flag. Move the cannon fully tothe right. Let it come down to the level of the rows of blocks, andjust before dropping, give it a Magic Carpet. Let it float along,using the Fan to get it round the obstacles. Note you will have tofan it gently downwards to get under the green block. Let itreflect and drop down to the exit level, then Platform the gap.Bring out another Pole Vaulter, and round the same route with theMagic Carpet. Laser Blast up from the caravan to release the horde.``Swingz and Roundaboutz!''Loss of Lemmings: ZeroStart a Stacker at the bottom of the slope. Two Lemmings will getpast it - reflect them off the wall on the right by making themJump at the last second. Jump the stacker to the left to stopit, and Jump each of the two you have just reflected over thestack. Start a Pole Vaulter from the little slope left of the car.Let it walk up the triangle ladder, then Stomp the left half of theyellow brick. Scoop immediately on landing, stopping the scooper atthe car platform level by making it Jump. Club Bash from the horde into the scooper's tunnel. Platform at the last second over thestomped hole, so the platform also builds up the step on the left.Platform the gap, and Fill the small pit on the next level.Move the left cannon to the right (is this necessary?). Fill thepit above the cannons, and Fill the pit on the top level. Scoopon the level ground at the top of the small yellow slope, so theLemmings fall on the barber's pole and do not die. AcknowledgementsThis solution would clearly not have been possible without theexistence of the ``Lemmings'' series of computer games, probably thebest, and without doubt the most original, computer game concept everdevised. Much kudos to Dave Jones and all at DMA Design, and to thedesigners at Amiga Inc. for such an inspiring hardware platform.These solutions were developed the hard way, by mind over Lemmings,and tested on a Commodore Amiga A3000.
