Matoran Enclave
You begin your adventure at the Matoran Enclave, a large ceremonial clearing full of ancient structures, chambers, display areas, a useful shop and a nearby beach. You'll also return here regularly to check on your achievements, upgrade your TOA and review what you've collected and unlocked in these adventures.
Select New Game from the Main Menu to enter the Matoran Enclave.
Zone/Level Select Chamber
Directly ahead of you and down a long staircase is the Zone/Level Select Chamber. This has six doorways that conceal passages to the portals that will take you to each part of the six elemental Zones on Voya Nui.
To return to the Matoran Enclave from the Zone/Level Select Chamber, face the stairway and move up the stairs.
Voya Nui Zones
The island of Voya Nui is divided into six distinct Zones:
•
Hakann's Volcano Based in and around the island's volcanic zone, where you can explore caves, caverns and volcanic plains.
•
Reidak's Desert Set in Voya Nui's desert region, with the action also based in and around the Island citadel. •
Thok's Mountain Features a landscape of rocky outcrops, cliffs, and icy mountain passes.
•
Vezok's Coastline Set in and around the shoreline of Voya Nui.
•
Zaktan's Jungle A tropical jungle bristling with dense jungle, hidden temples, waterfalls and tree top villages.
•
Avak's Stronghold Set in and around the ominous Piraka Stronghold.
To Begin a New Game
1. Enter the Zone/Level Select Chamber. The entrance to Vezok's Coastline will open.
2. Enter this area, where you will find the four portals to the levels of Vezok's Coastline. Only Piraka Bluff is initially selectable.
3. Press the A Button to start this level.
Levels
A short introduction leads you into each level and gives you an idea of whom (or what) you might encounter. Complete the three levels within a Zone to enter the Boss level, where you battle the Piraka who controls that Zone.
Initially, only one Zone is available, but as you progress, other Zones open up. Levels must be completed in sequence within a Zone, but you can play any completed level in Free Play mode.
Shop
The Shop is opposite the entrance to the Zone/Level Select Chamber in the Matoran Enclave central square. Here the Matoran who gave you the TOA Mask is waiting, ready to sell you a number of useful items. TOA upgrades, goodies, hints for completing the game and finding special bonus areas can all be bought here with LEGO pieces collected in the game.
Shopping is Easy
•
Walk up to the Matoran to browse in the Shop to see what he has to offer.
•
Use the Control Stick or +Control Pad to select an item.
•
Press the A Button to buy the selected item.
•
Press the Y Button to leave the Shop.
Constructed Items
An assembled LEGO piece (structure or object) is known as a construction. Some items bought in the Shop can be constructed. These items appear in various places in Piraka Beach.
Character Showcases
Character Showcases are chambers leading off from the curved ramp running up and over the Zone Select Chamber entrance. As you proceed through a level, you will find two types of special canisters to pick up. One type of canister unlocks creatures that can then be viewed in the Character Showcase.
Three Showcase Chambers are available to admire: the unlocked Bohrok, Visorak and Vahki. The fourth Showcase Chamber (on the right) lets you look at the game's sub-Bosses. When you defeat a sub-Boss (in levels 1 and 3 of any Zone), that character appears within a containment chamber in this room, accompanied by full stats and key information.
Defeated Piraka
When you defeat a Piraka at the end of a Zone, that Piraka is unlocked and becomes available to you as a playable character.
Trophy Cave
The Trophy Cave is to the right of your starting position on the Matoran Enclave. Go down the stairs and you will arrive at a chamber with three large screens. Your control of TOA movements is limited here to the +Control Pad.
To return to the Matoran Enclave from the Trophy Cave, face the stairway and press the A Button, or just press the Y Button. The TOA will move a few steps out of the chamber, and then you will be able to use the normal TOA movement controls.
