StarBlog: StarBoy's Walkthrough: The Lost Vikings Stage 11S/12G

StarBoy's Walkthrough:

(SNES edition)

October 15th, 2018
Blogger's note: Hello everyone, StarBoy91 here, passionate about video games, and continuing this guide I started years ago (at least for the time being). So in the previous page I covered a stage that was made exclusive in the Genesis version which was that version's Stage 11 that was not present in the SNES original. This made me wonder how to distinguish the respective versions' stage numbers considering these variables, so I came up with a solution: from this point onward on the page where the stage is available in both versions I will number them with the initial of the system to better identify the stage and avoid confusion as best as possible (this stage in particular is the 11th on the SNES version, and the 12th in the Genesis take). I hope this helps, but if it makes things confounding then I deeply apologize.

Stage 11S/12G - VLCN

Item(s) - 1 red key, 1 extra health shield, 2 steaks, 1 ham, 1 healthy fruit A, 1 healthy fruit B

You are now inside the bottom of the volcano, and it is the final stage of the Prehistoric era that you have to venture through. Walk up the incline as Olaf with his shield down and stand in place so that the stationary fireball-spewing cannon won't hurt you; now switch controls as Erik and once you have some speed then ram it down so that you'll destroy not just the cannon but also the wall behind it, but don't relax just yet...

for the destruction of the wall will reveal a rolling caveman heading your way. This is the perfect time to switch gears as Baleog and take him down with two hits once he doesn't roll. Also hidden inside the wall before it got rammed over is a red key situated at the end, take it.

Now head up the ladder.

Walk along to the right as Olaf and position yourself in front of the stationary fireball-spewing cannon with his shield by his stead. As Erik ram down the cannon and it will be destroyed alongside the first wall set behind it, in doing so revealing a dinosaur. As Baleog make this extinct creature extinct again.

In the same spot where you're at there is a second wall set which you can ram down as Erik to reveal a steak, which you can take if you need it.

Climb all the way up the ladder. This bit is optional, but as Erik jump on the left to land on a platform that has an extra health shield on it, but don't stay on it too long for there is a rolling caveman which you must maneuver around and jump over. Jump all the way back to the others.

Walk the uphill incline, but don't go any further than the ladder because there are fireballs emanating from the lava ahead, and taking damage from those will deplete your health by two. Instead, climb up the ladder. Across the small gap you'll notice a prisoner trapped inside a cage; shoot the lock three times as Baleog and you'll set the cavewoman free. Talk to her.

After freeing her she'll tell you that you need a key to drain the volcano and give you a clue where the key is located (if you didn't find it already), and she'll use her psychic powers to destroy the fireballs making the path slightly easy for you. Wait, psychic cavewoman? o~O And no, she's not naked (like I initially thought all those years ago, but the vibrancy of her skin when I recorded it initially on video mode years ago made it seem like she was--I guess this uncertainty made me stop... well, that and I wanted to keep track of all the items you find on each stage; on picture mode the images are crisp and clear, which makes me wish I took screenshots like these from the start as opposed to just a few years ago, but I digress), she's just wearing a brown two-piece.

To the left of her you can climb up the ladder and retrieve some ham just in case you feel you need it as you jump over the rolling caveman. Head back to the others on the right.

Climb to the uppermost platform as Baleog and dispose of the rolling caveman promptly, and claim the healthy fruit A if you feel you need it. Change controls to Erik and leap over the lava to insert the red key inside the same-colored keyhole to make the volcano drain its lava, as you do. We'll just presume the cavewoman knows her way out of here, so drop to where the lava used to be and begin your descent down the ladder.

Climb a little and feel your way to the left to walk through a secret path (right below the fossil) that leads you to a room with two rolling cavemen which you must kill as Baleog (the sword swing on the left screenshot should give you a clue) to get the steak, if you need it. Once that's done, climb down some more until you reach the bottom of it.

Drop down as Baleog and take care of the last rolling caveman in this segment, and if you feel you need it then take the healthy fruit B at the end on the right. Now take control of Olaf and wait until a bubble starts appearing from the lava to ride it up, and once you're above the gap then drop down to the left of it.

Be sure to have his shield above his head to protect him from the fire dropping from the ceiling. There is a path that leads to your way out of the Prehistoric age blocked by a box, push it onto the gap so you'll open up the path for all the Vikings.

As both Erik and Baleog get up there via riding the bubbles and be sure to time your movements carefully lest you lose a health of two, die, and/or are forced to start over (and we don't want that). Once you made it through climb down the last ladder with all three of the Vikings, approach the time-travelling portal, and you're good to go! =)
