You'll have to head around the big jug handle to reach your first goal. There are a lot of heavy gunners here, so the cowardly approach of running and using invisibility will serve you well, especially in the first leg of the approach. Later on you have more room to move and hide and you can fight more effectively.

We Stand!

You have to hold down the area for three and a half minutes. There's a lot of support from your allies, so this isn't too hard. Try to work together with them on the stronger enemies like the healing marines and the AMP Suits. You have to kill 18 enemies, so you can't just camp and hide while the battle is going on, but if you keep moving you'll have enough time to recover between bouts. The staff is obviously the most effective weapon in these situations. Even after you kill your quota, you have to run down the clock. Don't stress too much; it keeps ticking even if you die.

Ni'awve Mokri

Climb the hill and approach the Leonopteryx. You knew this game couldn't be complete until you got to take this one for a ride.

Prepare for disappointment, though, the ride only lasts a few seconds before you reach the Well of Souls.

Approach the tree. No boss fight this time. Clearly the end of the Na'vi game has been rushed a tad. Enjoy your credits.

There are two Na'vi to speak with, which each give you a different mission. We'll start with the nearer of the two.

The Demolisher

Head East. About two-thirds of the way down, you'll start to encounter hostiles. Try to be a bit of a completist here, and make sure to take out turrets and vehicles. Batista is camping near a few turrets. Once they're gone, he'll be very vulnerable. Although he can knock you over with a gun, he's pretty vulnerable without the back up. That doesn't mean he can't take some punishment, so use the staff and stay right on him so he can't get away and heal. You have to make your way back after to complete the quest.

The Commander

Your second boss mission can be had in the southeast. Ride down there on horseback. There's a lot of chaos going down, so it's really best to ride past it rather than try to fight. When you reach the base, knock out the turret and any marines near Winslow. He's exactly like Batista, so you have to pitbull him so he can't heal, use your specials and abilities and knock him out as quickly as possible. Using the Tree of Vision a bit to the northeast to return is easier than fighting your way back, since you probably lost your horse in the battle.

The Specialist

Near the start of the level, your Banshee is waiting for you. Mount it and fly north near the Tree of Vision to get the third of your assassination quests.

Don't be afraid to hoof it to the battle site. This fight is a lot more chaotic than the others, but not necessarily more difficult, since you have a lot more Na'vi to help you out. There are AMP Suits all around, including once containing Savoy. Focus on these and kill marines incidentally. Destroying Savoy's AMP Suit isn't enough to finish him off, so you'll have to corner him and keep him down before he gets to regenerate just like the others.

Riding the Storm

This stage ends much more quickly than the RDA version. Head to Tantalus.

Saddle up a Direhorse and ride northeast. You can rush right past the strife, and the path is simple. You'll have to smash a gate at one point. When you arrive at your destination, RDA forces destroy your prize before you can claim it.

Head east and find Beyda'amo in a secluded area near a Tree of Vision.

Shard Study

Continue west from Beyda'amo and follow the path south, once again on horseback, without stopping to fight. If you do find yourself on foot, just use invisibility to slip through the lines. Find your way back north after.

Bloodlust

Go west and then north. Maintain a gallop the whole time, and make sure to activate the Tree of Vision along the way. Bayda'amo is waiting as usual.

Following the Herd

Head into the base on foot. Use the gun to take down the Scorpion quickly, and then you'll have a much easier time. You have to kill 10 soldiers. Use your healing, invisibility, and dash to get some relief between bouts, and if you pace yourself right, you won't die during the fight. At the end of the fight there's a crystal specimen in a jar in one of the hangars. Check it out to trigger the next objective.

Mount up and head east. You can rush through most of the chaos until you see B again. He's ambushed by an AMP Suit, so take it down in the usual way.

A Fourth Song

You don't have shards to place this time so just approach the tree. Afterwards talk to Beyda'amo.

Hometree Bound

So ends this surprisingly brief stage.

Just talk to Swawta nearby. This objective will be solved as we go along with the others.

Stepping Up

Trek north. You'll have to take out three RDA sites in order. The first is very easy, just a turret and a few marines. The second has a Swan to contend with, but if you can shoot out the gunner, it's not going to get much done. The last one is in the north. Destroy the vehicles for XP regardless of if they're a threat. Talk to the Na'vi nearby to complete the mission.

Lifeline

Take the high road east. It's a quiet stroll to Fmilam.

This is an escort mission (Oh no!), but it's pretty easy. You can talk to Fmilam to make her stop or follow. Leave her behind at first and cut a path, and then bring her along. After this, the danger isn't too bad.

When you finally get back, an AMP Suit follows close behind, but it's alone and you should have no problem making short work of it.

Go, Go

Climb the vine. As you approach, a Scorpion drops off some troops. This is easy. Slice through the handful of enemies, claim the shard, and then find the wounded woman nearby.

A Lead...

Grab a Direhorse and dash for the southeast corner. Talk to the Na'vi man there.

First Aid

The Cilliphant leaves are from those purple plants with the whipping leaves. You have to gather them without killing the plant. There are Sturmbeests around, so use invisibility to slip by without fighting, since there's no need for combat in this mission.

A Tribe Reunited

Go to the site with the injured Na'vi. If you use invisibility, you can once again complete this mission quickly, as the only combat involves a handful of defenses and approaching them is the hard part.

Rally Point

Just head a bit northeast and talk to the Na'vi.

A Shard Well-Earned

The Na'vi blow an entrance into the cave. There's an AMP Suit and plenty of marines waiting inside, but it's a short run to grab the shard. Because of this it's best to use the machine gun. Meet your friend just outside of the entrance when you're done.

Death Trap

Head north. There's moderate resistance. Slip in with invisibility and make the kill with the staff. When you get to the burnt out area, you'll have to take the high road. Beyda'amo is waiting in a secure area.

Beyda'amo's Rage

Head to the designated spot and start cutting down marines with your staff. After six fall, an AMP Suit drops, but it's unaccompanied, so just circle it and whack it like usual. Return to Beyda'amo when you're done.

The Decoy

Meet Beyda'amo way in the northeast. It's an uneventful ride.

Score!

From the area by the Tree of Vision, you can snipe out some initial defenses below. Go down and stay right and enter the cave. There's a guy with an RPG on one of the crystals above. Keep moving until you get a clean shot at him with the bow, and try to knock him off his perch. Use that very same crystal as a ramp to get up to the higher level where you can claim the crystal.

Shattered Shards of a Song (cont.)

After the mission is complete, beam over to the northwest and take the diagonal route into the center. This leads to a bridge taking you very high into the air. Tan Jala is waiting.

Just beyond, you'll find the next tree. Place the crystals as usual. Now you can meet up with Tan Jala on the periphery of the island.

Head across the big branch and down the path. Use the staff to make quick work of the Viperwolves. As you approach the camp, you'll have a high ground advantage. Shoot down below with your arrows. When the Scorpion shows up, switch over to the machine gun and take it down as quickly as possible. Return to Marali nearby when you're done.

Leave the camp via a branch leading up and out. You'll take this high road to another fight. While you still have the high ground advantage, fire down at the marines and AMP suit below. The trek is longish, and there will be one more fight where you will not have high ground, so you may need to hit and run this part. Beyda'amo is waiting on a ledge.

Pound the Piata

The Dragon takes off right away. It floats around aimlessly for a few minutes, so climb to the highest point you can (there are vines all over) and wait for it to drift below so you can jump on it (this isn't necessary, but we find it easiest since you'll be out of range of all the hostiles. Fire arrows at the Dragon's rotors until all four are down (pretty amazing how it stays up with only one left, no?).

Afterwards, you can smash the controls on the two cages to free the wilflife.

Nice Kitty

Climb the highlighted fine below where you see the first plant. Claim the plant and then climb the vine to the right. You'll have to navigate these big branches and not fall down to the ground to get the rest of them. The fungus ledges help to mark good jumping off points for reaching other branches.

When you're done, return to Beyda'amo and mount the Thanator. Nearby there's a crystal you can grab. Return to B after you have claimed it.

B's Orders

Mount your Thanator and head north. Your Battle Cat can attack, which helps a lot in taking down the AMP Suit just ahead. When you reach the branch bridge, you can ditch the Thanator, because it's hard to navigate and there's another on the other side. There's one more big fight with an AMP Suit before you reach Tan Jala.

Sacred Ground

This is just an all-out brawl. You have to kill 30 enemies. The initial round of infantry go quickly, but then 4 or 5 AMP Suits swarm at once. If you still have your Thanator, you're in good shape, but otherwise you need to make judicious use of your special abilities, especially Titan's Bash. After this, a bunch of trained Viperwolves move in, but they're just an easy way to the goal.

Afterwards, just grab the crystal, and then head east for your next mission.

The Bad Place

Go north and speak with Beyda'amo. You'll have to trek through a large RDA base full of controlled animals. Most of these are Viperwolves, which are chumps if you use your staff. The real challenge here are the two Thanators, which, luckily, you get to fight separately. You can rough them up a bit with the staff, but when push comes to shove, the gun is the best way to handle them. Learning the timing needed to dodge their charges is the key to success regardless of what weapon you use.

The Vu'long Trail

Trek north. When you get to the big open area with the AMP Suit, you'll find the geography stacked against you. Off to the right there's a higher area for sniping, but the best way through this is just to use your invisibility to slip through. The crystal itself is poorly guarded.

After this you have to head all the way north. This isn't an easy trek either. Liberal use of invisibility can save you a lot of trouble, since you've probably hit your XP and kill quotas for your side missions already. Tan Jala is waiting with the others.

Your Second Song

Place the three crystals around the tree as usual.

Home is Where I Bring the Song

Use the tree to teleport back to the beginning of the stage and head home.

The shaman gives you three sites to investigate. Head for the closest one. There's not a ton of cover here. The machine gun works well, but the staff is the best if you're conserving ammo. You'll have to ID your enemies from a distance and move in quickly. Just step up onto the trailer steps to "investigate."

Near the second one you'll find an AMP suit. Luckily you won't have to go it alone, so while your Na'vi brothers are swarming it, strafe it and attack it with a staff special. This site and the last one are large ground areas that you can kind of tag and retreat, which might be wise in light of the vehicular defenses.

After this you can meet with Mekenei a bit to the north.

Bite the Dust

Smash through the gate nearby. There's a body to inspect nearby, but it disappears. There are four more. The southernmost one is the one you want. Smash the wall and go inside and talk to Unipey.

The Great Destroyers

Take a quick sweep, preferably with the machine gun to get the humans out of the way, and then run in front of the bulldozer, and shoot the small control box on the top with your arrows or gun. Repeat for the second one in the same exact manner.

Afterwards, you have to take out a control tower. This is actually quite easy. Just use your bow to shoot out the blue spores on the tree right next to it and the whole thing will blow. Now return to Unipey.

Jailbreak

Approach the camp. Use your arrows to take out the guards in the turrets before breaking through the fence. Once inside, use the tanks nearby for cover and use the machine gun to take out as many enemies as you can. Hit the switch to free the Na'vi inside, and then return to Unipey.

Wrench in the Gears

Make your way to the base entrance and bust through another fence. Look right and take out the gunners on the fence. Proceed to the gate and use the staff to take out the marines defending it. Flip the switch to head down.

You'll have to fight three AMP Suits at once. Use Titan's Bash and liberal staff combos and specials to try to take them on together and deal damage to multiple suits at once.

Now head down the canyon on the right and climb the vines up. From here you can jump on top of the generator and do a quick staff takedown of the enemies and flip the switch to blow up the generator.

The Willow Way

There's a series of willows that make for a little trail. It's pretty simple. You'll be ambushed by a Scorpion at one point, so kill the enemies as soon as they get off. At one point you'll hit an apparent dead end and you'll have to smash a rock wall.

You'll go through Willowgate, and you'll have to take on some Sturmbeests. The Staff gets the job done, but the key is dodging regardless of your choice of weapon. The Shaman is just around the bend.

Shard Hunt

You have to claim three shards. The nearest one has the weakest defense and you can claim it fairly easily. The northernmost one is guarded by an AMP Suit and a bunch of marines, so consider charging in with your gun blazing.

The last one has an initial line of defense, but the immediate vicinity, but not as many near the shard itself, so if you ride a horse in, you can rush right through to claim your price. The Shaman waits just to the south.

Your First Song

Walk a perimeter around the tree, about 40 feet away. There are three spots where you can feel the ground pulsing. You can place the shards here.

Heading Home

Just take either travel spot back to Hometree.
