R1P15C01:

Walk or run to the barrel, then drop down through the barrel to enter the first secret section by pressing down as you stand within it.
Walk to the edge of the platform and jump by pressing triangle.
Walk to the left when the meat grinder is at the top.
Deactivate the electric field using the lever.
You must be one step away from a lever to use it.
The meat grinder will now speed up, so crouch by pressing down or X, and roll through the grinder just as it leaves the ground - purposely roll too far and you will grab on to the ledge opposite.
Press up to climb on the platform, avoiding the grinder walk over to the Mudokon that cleans the floor right on top of the lever.
Say 'hello'.
Once the Mudokon responds say 'follow me'.
Run to the left once the grinder has reached the top and the Mudokon will walk under the grinder to the edge of the platform.
Ask it to follow you again and it should drop down to the screen below.
Now ask it to 'wait'.
Step forward and Abe will grab the platform, again hoist yourself up.
Walk under the grinder to the right of the lever and deactivate it.
Take one step to the left to stand on top of the lever.
Say 'Hello' to the other Mudokon.
After he responds, when the grinder is just starting it's descent, ask it to follow you. The Mudokon should safely walk up to Abe.
Ask him to follow you again so that you are standing in the same place.
As before run to the left once the grinder has reached the top.
Ask the Mudokon to follow you again.
Ask him to wait.
Take a step forward and grab on to the platform.
Lower yourself into the next screen by pressing the down arrow.

Notice that there is a sleeping Slig on the right hand platform. That's why you ask the other Mudokon to wait. If you hadn't, and followed one quickly down, the Mudokon would walk towards you and wake the Slig up, who would have shot you.
Jump forward by pressing triangle.
You will grab hold of the platform and wake the Slig.
When the Slig walks off the platform hoist yourself up and get ready to activate the lever.
As the Slig walks over the trapdoor activate the lever.
After it has fallen through the trapdoor and is dead, say Hello to a Mudokon, and ask him follow you. He should walk to the edge of the platform, ask him again to follow you and he should walk off the platform. Now ask him to wait.
Jump over to the left platform and walk to the Mudokon waiting there. After the other Mudokon resumes work say 'Hello' and ask him to 'Follow me', and get him down to the lower platform.
Then you have to leave the room for the birds to return and form a portal.
If you look at the platform on the left there are drops or debris following from the room above, stand under either of these and hoist Abe up to the next room, then drop down again.
You will see that the birds have returned to the lower right corner of the room.
If you now chant you will save these three Mudokons from becoming meat products.
The Mudokons will all get up and jump through the gateway that the birds make.
Congratulations, you have just saved three Mudokons !

Hoist yourself back into the room above and make your way to the central lever.
When you are standing on top of the lever hoist yourself onto the platform above.
Walk over to where the drips are falling from the room above and hoist yourself back to the room you started in.

Walk into the next room and then enter the door by standing in front of it and then pressing up, Abe now appears in the background. Run along into the next screen, go through the door, and walk right once you reappear in the foreground. Walk into the next room before the Slig shoots you.
R1PI5C03:
Jump both holes. To jump, press triangle. To run and jump, press triangle while you run. There is a secret below the barrel, but you will need to get a bomb first to blow up the mines.
Walk into the next room, R1PI5C04.
To sneak past the sleeping Slig, hold R2 while you move.

R1p15c17:
Drop down and jump over to the boom machine for a bomb.
Stand in the centre of the boom machine.
Go to throw the bomb (using the circle), count the 'ticks', when the 'ticks' reach five throw the bomb by using the right direction key.
The bomb should hit the chant suppresser just as it explodes, blowing up the suppresser.
Take another bomb and make a running jump over to the other platform.
Hoist up to the screen above. (Notice if the Slig that was asleep here has been killed).
Drop back down, the Sligs there will have gone back to sleep.
Now sneak two steps to the right.
Crouch down.
Roll a bomb to the level below. This should take care of both Sligs, if it doesn't simply repeat the process.
When both Sligs are dead, get another bomb, and drop down to the lower platform. Walk to the end of that platform, and lower Abe quickly into the screen below and very quickly hoist Abe back up again.
Now walk 5 steps along and throw your bomb. After it explodes you should hear that the Slig has stopped moving in the screen below.

Drop down into the screen below.
Roll a bomb under the chant suppresser, roll away to a safe distance.
Go back up to the screen above and drop down again for the birds to return.
Chant and you will have saved two more Mudokons.

Get another bomb (you can never have too many !), and hoist back up.
