Part 27

Head up the path and choose the right stairway for loot and a brown spawning pit. The left stairway leads to zombies.

Alternatively, take the right path to a looting area with blue and brown spawning pits. Command a brown minion to emerge, it will drown. If quick, or if a blue minion is nearby, command blues to carry the drowned brown minion back to land to revive it. Repeat this to build an army. A pipe between staircases allows your army to cross and fight zombies.

Another method involves sending blue minions down the pipe to a small land patch and setting a guard point. Summon browns slowly; blues will save them when they drown.

After defeating zombies, pillage barrels and chests. Continue until you find brown and blue spawning pits. You will see boombo birds and eggs guarding a red spoke; leave it for now.

Grab some brown and blue minions and return through the door blocked by mushrooms and barrels. Follow the path, kill zombies with your minions' help, and find the red wheel. You need 3 spokes.

Loot the platform you are on, then return to the room with the birds.

Set up guard markers. Send a blue minion to get an egg, bring it back, and have your brown minions kill the birds while blues resurrect. Alternatively, use a fire spell on the birds to avoid losing minions and gathering eggs. Retrieve the first red spoke.

From the red wheel, head down the stairs and left. Set up a guard marker, then break the barrier in the water. Lure zombies to your minions, then head up the next set of stairs. Kill bugs, loot, and break down the door.

Kill zombie priests, then break the barrier to the right. Grab the second red spoke and return.

Send your minions to turn the wheel in the current room. Head through the opened door and right, killing bugs. Leave your minions and enter the water. You will find zombies to lure to your minions, then head back in. To the right is an area to loot. Head back down the water path and around to find bugs and loot. Head up the stairs to find a red spawning pit.

Grab a red minion and break the fire barrier to reach the rest of your horde. Return to the red wheel with some red minions. To the right of the wheel is a pipe. Sweep some minions across. Set up a guard marker with red and blue minions for resurrection. Sweep them across the pipe to attack zombie priests and zombies on the floor.

Go to the barrier leading to zombies. Take that path around, killing zombies, to reach the platform with the final spoke. Have a blue minion grab it and return it to the red wheel. Turn the wheel to proceed.

Go through the gate and find a member of the Silent Order. Loot, then head left. You can kill the people if you wish. There are spawning pits and a waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination) here. Loot the area and keep only blue minions. Head to the back and down stairs. Kill bugs for blue lifeforce if desired. Follow the path up more stairs to a blue spawn pit.

Attempting to sweep minions to turn the wheel will summon a water serpent.

Take a full battalion of blue minions and try to turn the wheel before the serpent attacks. Walk through the opened gate. A brown spawn pit is ahead.

To take out the hydra, approach from this direction. You can fight it yourself (time-consuming but no minion loss) or position blues near the water for resurrection while you and browns attack from a higher platform. Alternatively, use green minions from the green spawning pit in the zombie room. Kill the hydra. Leave the three giant sacks of cash for now.

Another strategy for the serpent: Before the waypoint, there's a platform overlooking Boomba birds. Set six red minions on the edge to bombard birds with fireballs. With the remaining blue minions, go around the corner to the other platform. Use a feint-and-retreat strategy with blues to lure the serpent, then sweep all blues onto its head. Summon them back (using the summon key, not sweeping) as the serpent retreats. About ten strikes from 14 blues are needed.

If blues are lost fighting the serpent, Boomba lifeforce is left on the other side of the room. Blue bugs respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) down the stairs behind you. These sources can replenish lost blues.
