Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players control various Toa heroes, each with unique elemental powers and abilities. The goal is to defeat the evil Makuta and his minions by exploring the island of Mata Nui, mastering different Toa forms, and utilizing enhanced powers like the Nuva Blast. Players will switch between different Toa, adapting to their specific Wahi (regions) and overcoming increasingly difficult challenges.
Story
Toa Nuva
To confront Makuta, you must enhance your abilities by uncovering the secret of the Toa Nuva. The Toa Nuva have enhanced abilities, with different Toa Nuva possessing different powers.
Nuva Blast
Gali Nuva and Onua Nuva can launch a devastating Nuva Blast.
•
Hold the button to fully charge the energy gauge.
•
Release the button and press the button immediately.
•
Nuva Blasts can only be released when standing still.
•
Nuva Blasts are effective against the strongest of Makuta's henchmen and can also cut through barriers of dark elemental energy.
Toa Nuva Abilities
Lewa Nuva can glide through the treetops. Gali Nuva can swim at high speeds and dive to the furthest depths of Lake Naho.
The Toa Nuva must face increasingly tough battles as Makuta's influence grows.
Enemies
The Bohrok-Kal, controlled by the more powerful intelligence of the Krana-Kal, are tougher and smarter than their Bohrok cousins.
The truth about the Rahkshi lies hidden, but whispers and rumors sweeping Mata Nui are frightening enough. Some call them the "Sons of Makuta" while others hint that they each bear a fragment of the dark spirit's own body, which he uses to guide them.
Makuta
The dark spirit Makuta is the enemy of everything good and beautiful on Mata Nui. He seeks to rule the island, using his dark influence to infect Rahi throughout Mata Nui. He commands the destructive force of the Bohrok, Bohrok-Kal, and Rahkshi.
You and your brother and sister Toa have faced his power before, but that was before the Bohrok Swarms awoke. With new enemies ranged against you, you must hurry to find the secret of Toa Nuva transformation before you dare confront him again.
Island of Mata Nui
Legend tells us that the great being Mata Nui brought his people, the Matoran, to live on this island paradise, which they named in his honor. Protected by his loving guidance, the Matoran lived happily in their new home.
Mata Nui's jealous brother, the dark spirit Makuta, cast a spell that caused Mata Nui to fall asleep. From that moment, Makuta's dark power dominated the land, bringing destruction and fear to the people.
The Arrival of the Toa
Hope did not die; prophecies foretold that six heroes, the Toa, would arrive and save Mata Nui from Makuta. On a day that will never be forgotten, mysterious canisters were washed up on the island's shores.
From them sprang Tahu, Lewa, Kopaka, Gali, Pohatu, and Onua—the heroes of prophecy, gifted with great elemental powers.
Wahi of the Toa
Each of the Toa dwells in one of Mata Nui's six regions, known as Wahi. Their Matoran villagers live and worship their guardian Toa at the local temple, the Kini.
Your adventure begins as Toa Tahu in Ta-Wahi. As the story unfolds, you must take on the role of all of the mighty Toa and master the different skills their Wahi demand. When you achieve the Toa Nuva transformation, your powers will be greatly enhanced.
Toa Tahu in Ta-Wahi
The volcanic region of Ta-Wahi, dominated by the Mangal Volcano, is watched over by Tahu, the Toa of Fire. This dramatic landscape, with its caverns and craters surrounded by burning streams of molten rock, is home to the Ta-Matoran, who are guided by the wise Turaga Vakama.
Hot tempered and quick to act, Toa Tahu must master his impatience to safely navigate the floating platforms and treacherous crumbling rocks that span Ta-Wahi's boiling lava flows. When he becomes Tahu Nuva, his quick reactions will be put to the test as he surfs Ta-Wahi's treacherous magma streams on his lava board.

You can also save your game at any time during play (Saving A Game on p. 20).
•
To begin your adventure without creating a save file, press the D-button to select NO and press the button to confirm.

After the intro movie, press the START button at the prompt to enter the Kini Nui.

Press the D-button or left analog stick to scroll through the Toa and press the button to select.

TOA TAHU BEGINS THE QUEST
Mighty Toa, my name is Turaga Vakama, head of the village of Ta-Koro in the lands of Ta-Wahi. I am wise in the legends and secrets of Mata Nui. Let me guide you as your quest to save the island and discover the power of the Toa Nuva begins.
Makuta's power grows and our time is limited, so be guided by my words.

To read about the objects and features you will encounter on Mata Nui, Field Guide on p. 17.
ELEMENTAL ENERGY
Elemental energy is the force that exists in a raw state within every natural thing on Mata Nui. As a Toa you can absorb and use this force from the world around you, but so can Makuta. You must bring balance by using this power wisely.
•
Dark Elemental Energy: This corrupted energy is stolen from the environment and used by Makuta and his minions, and by the beguiled Rahi that he controls. Dark elemental energy is a dangerous and harmful force.
•
Light Elemental Energy: When you absorb this force from your surroundings, it becomes light elemental energy, a power for good that can combat Makuta's minions, blast objects or structures, and free the Rahi from his influence.
USING ELEMENTAL ENERGY
When charged with elemental energy, you can target objects or creatures then launch blasts of elemental energy at them. Enthralled, Rahi and Makuta's minions return fire with damaging blasts of dark elemental energy. Use your shield to protect yourself by absorbing these blasts. The absorbed blasts recharge your store of elemental energy, which is measured by the energy gauge.
•
Stamina gauge—if dark elemental energy hits you, part of your stamina is lost.
•
Energy gauge—launching blasts uses up your store of elemental energy.
•
To switch targets, press the R1 button.
•
Press the button to release a blast of elemental energy.
•
Press the button to raise your shield. This absorbs dark elemental energy blasts and channels them into your energy gauge.
SHIELDING
Press the button to raise your shield. Shielding dark elemental energy blasts not only protects you from damage, but also absorbs the blast and converts it into light elemental energy. The converted energy is absorbed and recharges your elemental energy gauge.
The shield can only be activated for short periods, so time its use well.
ENERGY AND STAMINA GAUGE
Your energy and stamina gauge appears on screen whenever you lose or gain stamina or elemental energy.
•
Each green marker represents one quarter of your total stamina.
•
Your current store of elemental energy is represented by this bar.
REGAINING STAMINA
Even the mighty Toa are not invincible! Dark elemental energy attacks and the perils of the Wahi's environments can damage your stamina. Your current stamina is displayed in the energy gauge: each green
