To find another secret and get past two patrolling Sligs.
To discover a very big secret area, a very big secret move, and save four Mudokons.
To save another Mudokon in a secret area.
To the end of the section and another secret.
To deal with your first Slog and another secret area.
 

E1PO6C01:

You start the stockyard escape section on screen E1P06C01. Jump the gap and proceed to the next screen.

Quickly opening a portal in the bottom left of the screen will rescue a Mudokon before he's killed by the advancing Scrab.
Now make your way across the screen, to avoid the alarm, stand still when the Motion Detectors touch you.
Alternatively, just roll through this screen and this alarm system will miss you !
E1P06C02:
Jump onto the first Scrab pen, and walk through the door to the right in the shadow, this takes you into the background of screen E1p06c03.
Run into the screen to the left.
Chant to open the portal.
Jump through the portal to reach a secret level.
E1P06C07:
Say Hello and follow me to the Mudokon, and chant to open Abes portal.
Walk slowly into the screen on the right.
A Scrab waits there and will chase you on sight.
Quickly run back to e1p06c02 and make a running jump onto the platform that you started on.
As the Scrab runs underneath the platform, run to the right and keep running. The next screen is a flat out run, the screen after that requires one running jump, the screen after that requires 2 running jumps, the screen after that requires another running jump onto the platform.
Now chant to save the Mudokon.
You have to repeat this in reverse to get back to the starting platform.
Repeat the actions from before with the remaining Mudokon, but this time on the return journey jump through the portal to relative safety.

This section is very hard, but experts, can kill the Scrab in the following manor, making this section a little easier.
Get the Scrab to chase you.
Jump back on to the platform you started on.
When the Scrab is under you and running to the wall on the left, ran to the right, keep running, just after you have made the first jump, quickly turn around and jump back to the left, if you time it correctly, Abe will grab the ledge, and the Scrab will walk off and die. Now you can save the two Mudokons with ease.

After completing the secret you return to E1P06C02, climb up to the left and jump the pen with the Scrab.

To find another secret and get past two patrolling Sligs

After completing the secret you return to E1P06C02, climb up to the left and jump the pen with the Scrab. Run into the next screen.

E1P06C03:
Make a running jump, avoiding the Scrab. Walk into the next screen.
E1PO6C04:
Avoid the motion detector by remaining still as it passes over you, and avoid the Scrab again. Run into the next screen.

E1PO6C05:
Chant to reveal the fireflies message. - lights will guide you. Jump the gap to avoid the Scrab. Run into the next screen.

E1PO1C01:
Jump the gap and chant to reveal another message. - Sneak in and out of shadows. Sneak into the next room.

E1PO1C02:
Jump over the bomb. A Slig is asleep by the rock, if you remain still it will walk to the left. Once it has left the screen, jump over the small gap and sneak into the shadow of the rock. Wait for the Slig to return to this screen and walk past you. Make sure it is still facing the right and then sneak to the next screen to the left.

E1P01C03:
Hide in the shadow of the rock until neither Slig is on screen. Roll into the edge of the screen. As the Slig on your level reappears walk into the next screen.

E1P01C04:
Jump the bomb before the Slig returns, lower yourself off the edge of the rocks.

On room E1POIC05, chant to reveal a portal where a secret is, then activate the mine by crouching next to it and pressing square. Roll into the next screen to the left.
E1P01C06:
Quickly roll out to the right again once a Slig has shouted "Wait", one of the Sligs should chase you, take a running jump up onto the ledge. The Slig following you will run into the mine and explode.
Drop down and jump through the portal into the secret area.
E1P01C08: Immediately jump forward. You will grab onto a ledge. The Slig on your platform tends to shoot, then walk to the edge of the platform.
Wait until he turns around, then hoist up and sneak after him.
Wait on this screen until he returns, then the moment he reappears (listen out for his footsteps), sneak into the next screen.
Notice that on the platform above there are two Mudokons, cleaning either side of a deactivated mine. You need to get them safe, activate the mine to blow up a Slig, then save the Mudokons.
Wait for the Slig on the platform above to retreat to the screen on the left, then say hello, and follow me to one of the Mudokons. He will walk up to the edge of the screen.
Don't say anything else, he will eventually start cleaning again. Keep listening for the Sligs footsteps and move into the screen to the left when the Slig on your platform enters the screen.
Now wait until the Slig on your screen appears again and run and jump over to the right hand platform, ideally you want to be hanging from this platform, in case the Slig has heard you and gives chase, when it's safe hoist up, and turn around and jump onto the platform on the left, you will be hanging from the platform.
When it's safe - i.e., no Sligs on either platform - hoist up and say "Hello" & "Follow me" to the Mudokon, sneak to the edge on the left of the screen and wait for it to start cleaning again.
When safe, jump over to the right hand platform and hang there until neither Slig is on screen.
When safe, hoist up, and again to the higher platform, activate the mine and quickly return to the lower platform, ideally you will hang from one of the edges.
After a while the Slig on the upper platform will walk over to the mine and explode. Wait until it is safe and get back to the higher platform.
Ask the Mudokons to follow you to the screen on the left. When they are both there, wait until the Slig is off screen and chant to open both portals. Both Mudokons should escape, and your portal opens on the platform below to the left, where you started the level.
You may have noticed that your chant had a strange effect on the Slig. It is worth remembering this behaviour for later. You just need to get Abe to the left hand edge of the screen on lower platform when the Slig is on the other screen. When it returns, run and jump through the portal on the screen to the left.

You'll return to screen E1PO1C05.
Sneak into the next screen and wait in the shadow of the rock.

E1PO1C06:
Wait for the Slig to approach the rock, as it turns sneak with him to the left hand side of the screen, hoist up on to the platform and continue moving to the left.

E1PO1C07:
Chant to reveal the fireflies message - rescue lost souls.
