Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a platformer/puzzle game where players control Abe, a Mudokon hero, on a mission to sabotage the Glukkon's SoulStorm Brew operation. Players must navigate dangerous environments, rescue fellow Mudokons, and uncover the dark secrets behind the addictive beverage.
Story
The Story
When last we saw Abe, he'd just rescued ninety-nine Mudokons from RuptureFarms™, and struck a serious blow to the Glukkons of the rapacious Magog Cartel. Once an ignorant, happy floor-waxer, Abe now found himself a hero to his people. You might think Abe had earned a vacation... but that was before he fell on his head, and had a vision. Three restless ghosts let Abe in on a shocking secret.
Abe, being a schmuck—uh, hero—set out across the desert with five friends to find Necrum. When the game opens, Abe and his pals have snuck into the Necrum Mines.
Your Mission
Your mission is to destroy the Mines by sabotaging the boilers that power the place. You'll have to find your five friends, too... but keep them away from SoulStorm Brew™! One slug of that stuff and they'll get sick, and be no use to anyone... unless you can find a way to heal them.
I bet those three restless ghosts might have an idea. They're probably hanging around their tomb. If you find the ghosts, maybe you can get them to confirm the rumour that Scrabs and Paramites are running free in the Vaults of Necrum.
What happens after that is up to you to discover, but if you think you're going to get off with just blowing up the Mines, you haven't been paying attention. Hellish train rides, bone-processing factories, a whole barracks full of Sligs, and SoulStorm Brewery itself are in your future.
There won't be a dry eye in the house when you discover the secret ingredient of SoulStorm Brew™. And oh yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea to rescue any other Mudokons you find along the way. Never know when it will come in handy to have a bunch of escaped Mudokons to call on. It sure bailed your fat out of the fire when Molluck had you hanging over the meat grinders back in RuptureFarms™... but that's ancient history.
SoulStorm Brewery
RuptureFarms was just one of many slaughterhouses the Glukkons are using to exploit the Mudokons. Even worse is the SoulStorm Brewery, where super-addictive SoulStorm Brew™ is made from the bones of dead Mudokons mined from Necrum, the ancient Mudokon city of the dead!
Frustrated?

Environments
SoulStorm Mining Co. Necrum Mines
It's not enough for the Glukkons to slaughter Mudokons for food... they gotta mine the bones of dead Mudokons for Brew, too!
Don't Forget
•
Make wired Mudokons snap out of it by standing next to them and slapping them L2 + X. Only slap them once... multiple slaps can kill a Mudokon!
Necrum
Most of Necrum remains untouched by the Glukkons... but for how long?
Mundanchee Vaults
Part of Necrum is overrun by wild Scrabs...
Hint
•
You can make Mudokons stop fighting each other by saying, "Stop it!" L2 +
Mudomo Vaults
...while another part is infested with Paramites.
Feeco Depot
Transportation hub of the Magog Cartel.
Bonewerks
Where Mudokon bones are processed into the raw materials of SoulStorm Brew.
Hint
•
Abe can slap Sligs by pressing L2 + X, but you better be in the shadows to try it!
Slig Barracks
Where do you think all those Sligs come from?
SoulStorm Brewery
Where all the pieces come together, and Abe discovers the secret ingredient of Brew... or dies trying.
Hint
•
Abe can make depressed and angry Mudokons feel better by standing next to them and saying he's sorry L2 +
The Oddworld Quintology
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is the first "bonus game" in a five part game series from Oddworld Inhabitants called "The Oddworld Quintology." Each part of the Quintology will have one or more bonus games. The first game in the Quintology, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, introduced Abe and his friends, and was the inspiration for this bonus game.
Oddworld is big -very big- and Abe's Exoddus is just a brief glimpse of the strange and exciting depths of THE ODD! The next Quintology game, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, will reveal a whole new way to explore Oddworld, thanks to a mind-blowing new game engine, and a cast of characters guaranteed to give you nightmares. Or sweet dreams. All depends on what you find cute and cuddly. Us, we go with the cuddly. Especially if it has tentacles or nasty poison spikes that can penetrate your brain.
Remember
•
If Abe stands still in black shadows, he cannot be seen!

HINT
If you see a number floating in a bird portal, rescue that many Mudokons ALL AT ONCE to gain the Shrykull power-up.
IN THE BEGINNING...
If you see some fancy movies followed by Abe's head saying "hello," you've passed the test and loaded the game. From this screen you have all sorts of options.
If you want to dive straight into the game, select "Begin." You'll be offered the choice of a one or two player game. The two-player game won't work unless you have two controllers.
"GameSpeak" introduces you to Abe's critical speech abilities. It's cool to watch his face when you make him talk. Check it out. Several characters besides Abe can talk, too, and you can check them out here as well.
HINT
Some Ghost Traps award the invisibility power-up when Abe slaps them.
MAIN MENU OPTIONS
•
Load: Lets you select a saved game, provided you've recorded one to a memory card.
•
Options: Lets you see how your controller is configured, and gives you some minor control over the sound. The controller information is reproduced in this manual, so you don't need it unless you lose the book. The sound options let you select between stereo and mono sound.
•
Backstory: Just before the game starts, you can check out a keen "Backstory" movie that will bring you up to date on Abe's story so far.
LOADING AND SAVING
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is a tough game. Even with infinite lives, it's going to take a long time to play through the game, particularly if you're trying to rescue all the Mudokons. Fortunately, you can save your game, provided you have a Memory Card for your PlayStation.
Saving a game is easy. Press "Start" while playing to bring up the option menu. Select "Save to Memory Card," and press "X". The PlayStation will take a few seconds to read your Memory Card, then give you the option of saving your game, deleting a file, or switching Memory Cards. Your game will always be saved in the first open block on your Memory Card.
If you're in a hurry and you want something less permanent, choose "Quiksave". Then, if you die, Abe will re-start where you saved. Be careful, though, because Quiksaving in the wrong place can leave Abe stranded! If that happens, choose "Restart Path" off the Options screen.
To restore a saved game, select "Load" from the option screen. You can save up to fifteen games on a single Memory Card. Text at the bottom of the Load screen provides a brief description of your save location.
Finally, if you paint yourself into a corner, use the "Restart Path" option on the option screen to restore the immediate neighbourhood to its original condition. This can come in handy if you've QuikSaved yourself in the House of Pain.
REMEMBER
Quiksave is really fine, but use the Memory Card to save it for all time.
NEED A SLIG?
Possessed Glukkons can sometimes summon a Slig by shouting for "Help!"

VICE-PRESIDENT ASLIK
Glukkon in charge of FeeCo Depot. The Trains will run on time.
GENERAL DRIPIK
Stern taskmaster of the Slig Barracks.
DIRECTOR PHLEG
Head boner at the Bonewerks.
ABE
Equal parts hero, godling, and knucklehead.
BREWMASTER GLUKKON
Half the heart but twice the flavour!
MUDOKONS
Robbed of their proud and ancient legacy by profit-crazy Glukkons, the Mudokons are the slave labour force of the Magog Cartel. Mudokons that are worked to death can still serve the Cartel by offering up their bones for SoulStorm Brew™.
SLIGS
Gun-crazy fiends...when they've got their pants on, at least.
SCRABS
Nothing is tougher than a Scrab -- except, maybe, another Scrab.
PARAMITES
Vicious little pack animals, but they can be your best friend once you learn what makes 'em tick.
SLURGS
The lowest form of Oddworld life, subsisting on the offal of Fleeches.
GREETERS
A public-relations nightmare made right! Glukkons were aghast when these marketing and P.R. machines began attacking the customers. Now, they make perfect security guards!
SHRYKULL
Half-Mudokon, half-God, all trouble. Abe changes into this guy when he rescues enough Mudokons through special portals.
FLEECHES
Starting life as happy Glukkon pets, these vicious little worms rapidly grow too big to cuddle, and are eliminated by flushing them down the toilet.
FLYING SLIGS
Half-mad Slig flyboys.
SLOGS
They bark, eat live flesh, are definitely not good with children, but they're a Sligs best friend.
SLOGGIES
Cuter than their grown-up cousins, but just as vicious.
CRAWLING SLIGS
Everybody has to start someplace.
ANGRY MUDOKONS
Won't listen to you, unless you tell them you're sorry. They'll sometimes take a swing at you, so be careful.
WIRED MUDOKONS
Are all hopped up and out of control. They're usually strung out on laughing gas and you'll have to slap some sense into them before they'll listen to you.
DEPRESSED MUDOKONS
Are so upset about living in slavery that they'll scarcely acknowledge Abe is even there. One good shock can push them over the edge into suicide.
SICK MUDOKONS
Are drunk from SoulStorm Brew. You'll need to find a helper Mudokon to give you a healing ring before sick Mudokons can recover.
BLIND MUDOKONS
Can't see, on top of everything else, so they need some special care when you talk to them. Mostly you'll need to tell them to "wait!" or they'll just walk right off ledges and into walls.
