Bazooka (F1) Usage: Aim with up and down keys and fire by holding down the spacebar the longer you hold it down the greater the velocity the round is shot out of the Bazooka. Damage: 50 max. Techniques: * Bazooka rounds are effected by wind good use of this is vital. * Bazooka rounds if fired along water can skim across the water. Homing Missile (F1) Usage: Set target with left click on mouse and fire the same way as a Bazooka. Damage: 50 max. Techniques: * Make sure the missile has a fairly clean path. * Homing Missiles are aquatic but make sure they don't go to far underwater. Mortar (F1) Usage: Aim like a Bazooka but a single tap of the spacebar fires it. Damage: Explosion-20 max. Clusters-30 max. Techniques: * Best used by firing at a wall above lots of worms so the shrapnel lands on them. Homing Pigeon (F1) Usage: Target with left click then fire it the same as a Mortar. Damage: 75 max. Techniques: * More Intelligent version of the Homing Missile that's path doesn't have to be that clear. Sheep Launcher (F1) Usage: Aim like a Bazooka then one press of the spacebar launches it The press spacebar again to detonate it. Damage: 75 max. Techniques: * Fairly erratic just fire and hope for the best. * Try to remember how hard the sheep is launched out of the Bazooka. Grenade (F2) Usage: Set then bounce with -(low) +(high) then the fuse with 1-5 then throw it the same way you fire a Bazooka (not wind effected). Damage: 50 max. Techniques: * Make good use of the bounce and time settings on them . Cluster Bomb (F2) Usage: Same as Grenade. Damage: Explosion-20 max. Clusters-30 max. Techniques: * After the patch the fire in the hole trick doesn't work as well. Banana Bomb (F2) Usage: Same as Grenade. Damage: Initial Explosion-75 max. Each Banana-75 max. Techniques: * If fired in a cavern with a bunch of worms, It can slaughter the lot. * Remember it bounces a lot. Battle Axe (F2) Usage: Stand near a worm and press the Spacebar. Damage: Halves energy of any worm in contact with the blade. Techniques: * Usually other weapons can inflict more damage then it but since it halves the other worms energy if it has 200 hp you can inflict 100 damage (Do the math). Shotgun (F3) Usage: Aim with up and down keys and fire by taping the spacebar. Damage: 25 max for each shot (2 shots) Techniques: * The best use of the shotgun is to knock worms onto mines. * You get two shots so try setting of chain reactions like shooting Oil Drums or mines into worms. Handgun (F3) Usage: Same as Shotgun but all bullets fire out from one tap of the spacebar. Damage: 5 max for each shot (6 shots) Techniques: * Can be effective in knocking worms off cliffs. Uzi (F3) Usage: Same as Uzi.

Minigun (F3) Usage: Same as Uzi. Damage: 75 max Techniques: * Can blast a bunch of worms off cliffs. * If a worm is on a thin platform above you stand directly under it & fire up then worm will fly like a bird then drop like a stone so a lot of fall damage will register. Long Bow (F3) Usage: Same as Shotgun. Damage: 15 always for each shot (2 shots) Techniques: * You can use this to knock worms off ledges or into mines. * Aim so worms bump into other worms and so they all end up falling in the drink on WORMNET I once killed all my opponents worms in one turn. * Arrows make good platforms. Fire Punch (F4) Usage: Press spacebar to activate a vertical punch. Damage: 30 always Techniques: * Effective in knocking worms of cliffs. * It also cuts vertically through terrain. * If a worm is on a thin platform relatively not that high up you can jump and then activate it to get higher than usual to punch the other worm.. * If you accidentally fall of a cliff press F4 then Spacebar to save your skin you won't roll or receive any fall damage. Dragon Ball (F4) Usage: Press spacebar to shot a projectile in the direction your facing Damage: 30 always Techniques: * Can knock worms off at a lower trajectory than a Fire Punch. * Can knock mines further than a Shotgun. Kamikaze (F4) Usage: Select 1 out of 6 directions then press spacebar Damage: Final Explosion-50 max Hit by Suicidal Worm-30 always Techniques: * Careful use of this can be vital, only use if you worms energy is 34 at the most. * Can be used with the laser sight. Suicide Bomber (F4) Usage: Press Spacebar. Damage: Initial Explosion-30 max Poison Rate-5 a turn. Techniques: * Can't see the point, I would use something else like sheep or dynamite really close and it will cause more damage (see Sheep). * Best used if you have a fairly weak worm early that's going to be picked off soon, the bombing inflicts minimal damage but sickens any worms close and above it (Take wind into account). Prod (F4) Usage: Face worm and then stand next to it then press spacebar. Damage: None Techniques: * Good for pushing a well hated worm to it's doom. Dynamite (F5) Usage: Press Spacebar ( Press Enter if on Rope etc.) Damage: 75 max.

Mine (F5) Usage: Same as Dynamite Damage: 50 max. Techniques: * Use it on frozen worms but Petrol Bombs are more effective. * Use them to guard tunnels but make your tunnels zig-zag to prevent others hitting the mine down your tunnel at you. Sheep (F5) Usage: First press lets it loose second press of spacebar detonates it. Damage: 75 max. Techniques: * These furry friends can collect crates. * Watch out i've seen them ending up backfiring on the user. * Instead of using a Suicide Bomber or Kamikaze just move your worm really close to the worms your want to kill then press spacebar twice really quick. Super Sheep / Usage: First press releases it second press of the spacebar makes it Aqua Sheep (F5) begin to fly third press makes it normal again, press left and right while in flight mode to steer.

Aim for a object then press the spacebar now use left and right to distribute your weight in that direction and use down to lengthen the rope and up to shorten the rope another press of spacebar will disconnect you from the object but another press will send the rope out again using this you can swing like Donkey Kong. Damage: None, with Rope Knocking disabled after the patch. Techniques: * Swing, let go & swing again (nuff said) * Speeding Up- Press up a little bit before you disconnect from the rope to re-attach again you should swing faster. * Wall Bounce- Bash your worm against a wall then disconnect the rope the second you bounce back, You should fling yourself pretty far. * Flik Around- To get over a obstacle keep swinging back and forth waking your worm against the terrain as soon as you start swinging out far enough (and you are almost vertical) extend the rope out really quickly and lean in the direction of the obstacle, you should flick yourself over it.

Low Gravity * If you've run out of Jetpacks and Ninja Ropes this can be a saver. Fast Walk * Helps you travel a grater distance in one turn. * Good for getting away quick from dropped dynamite. Laser Target * Helpful if you're a newbie most useful with the kamikaze so you don't waste a worms life. Invisibility * Only useful on the net. Automatic Utilities ------------------- Double Turn Time * Increases turn time by two fold. 2x Damage * Increses damage from all weapons apart from Battle Axe. Crate Shower * Showers about 6 crates on to the terrain, 1 is usually a Super Weapon. Crate Spy * Lets you see what is in any crate. iii)Super Weapon Descriptions =-----------------------------= Earthquake (F2) * Boom Boom Shake the Room! er terrain? this throws unsuspecting worms and objects clear off there perches by an earthquake. * Only use if you're inland away from cliffs. Mail Strike (F6) * It's a wind effected strike & it's bombs are slightly more powerful than the ones in a Air Strike. Mine Strike (F6) * Watch out! its very erratic these mines bounce everywhere. * A good idea is to use a Napalm Strike before you use it so the terrain is textured so the mines settle faster. Mole Squadron (F6) * Digging version of the Air Strike. Scales of Justice (F8) * Evens out everybody's energy. Sally (F9) * Cluster version of an Old Woman. MB Bomb (F9) * Useless (to a degree) wind effected floating Dynamite. Ming Vase (F10) * Like a cluster version of Dynamite.

Magic Bullet (F12) * Very intelligent version of the Homing Pigeon and causes more damage as well. or maybe it's triangular crossfire. iv)Which Special Weapon Should I Choose? =-----------------------------------------= Choosing which special weapon you want can be a simple as the one your most skilled with. But here is the Pros and Cons of each weapon which may help you decide. This is a Pro /\ This is a Con \/ Flamethrower ------------ Amount Given x 1 \/ Delay = One Round /\ Damage = 70 max /\ Other = Can be aimed while using. /\ Homing Pigeon ------------- Amount Given x 2 /\ Delay = Two Rounds \/ Damage = 75 max /\ Other = Homes in doesn't need much skill. /\ Mad Cows -------- Amount Given x 2 /\ Delay = Two Rounds \/ Damage = 75 max /\ Other = 2 can be released in 1 go. /\ 3 can be released if you cheat. /\ Holy Hand Grenade ----------------- Amount Given x 1 \/ Delay = Four Rounds \/ Damage = 100 max /\ Other = Needs skill with Grenades. \/ Makes massive hole in terrain /\ Old Woman --------- Amount Given x 1 \/ Delay = One Round /\ Damage = 75 max /\ Other = Can pick up items. /\ Sheep Launcher -------------- Amount Given x 1 \/ Delay = One Round /\ Damage = 75 max /\ Other = Why use this when you can use a Super Sheep. /\ Can pick up items. /\ Super Sheep ----------- Amount Given x 1 \/ Delay = Seven Rounds \/ Damage = 75 max /\ Other = Can fly it around. /\ Needs skill. \/ Can pick up items. /\ Mole Bomb --------- Amount Given x 3 /\ Delay = None. /\ Damage = 30 max \/ Other = Bores holes. /\ Looking at these results I think- Beginners should use Homing Pigeons.

Ropers should use Holy Hand Grenades. 3)Single Player <---------------> i)Training Medal Times =-----------------------= Level Bronze Silver Gold Super Sheep Racing 1:30 2:30 3:30 Rifle Range 1:30 2:00 2:30 Crazy Crates 1:30 3:00 4:30 Artillery Range 1:30 2:30 3:30 Euthanasia 1:30 2:00 2:30 The only training mode people e-mail me about is "Using Fire Punch" so here is how you do it, Walk under the crate on the highest platform and backflip, at the highest point of your jump Fire Punch you should collect the crate, Now do the same backflip Punch Combo on the middle target then Fire Punch the lowest target. ii)Mission Walkthrough =---------------------= Note- Walkthrough is subject to differences in what attempt your at on finishing a level Pumpkin Problems ---------------- 1: Move your worm to the right so it's above the brown patch on the pumpkin, Now aim with your Ninja Rope directly below the Oil Drum to the Right and swing up and over to collect the crate, Now move so your on the Left side to the worm that was closest to the crate you collected and hit him to the right with your Baseball Bat at the lowest trajectory possible, He should hit the rightmost mine explode then hit another mine then die. 2: Now stand on the edge of the pumpkin (A crater should be below you) and aim your Ninja Rope to the right so you grapple on the leftover vine now swing down and collect the crate. Operation Market Garden ----------------------- 1: Set a Girder horizontal above you so the tip is adjacent to the Horizontal petal of the flower above the watering cans spout, Then move to the right a bit. 2: Move to the left off the edge of the petal you were on now aim a Grenade almost vertical but a little to the left and fire at half power. 3: Backflip onto the Girder then now go to the nook where the flower meets the watering can on the opposite side of the flower, Then fire a Grenade Minimum bounce between the two worms to the right of you. 4: Fire down at the stem to the left of you where it meets the flower with the Shotgun, then go through the hole onto the flower to the left of you and fire at the worm to the far left of you so they fall in the water. 5: If the worm you shot before is still alive shoot him again otherwise throw a Grenade Diagonally up and to the right at half power. 6: If the worm below you isn't dead throw a grenade 5 second fuse down at him lightly. All Quiet in the Library ------------------------ 1: Move to the right, A little past the worm to your right, Now face left and let loose with a Uzi at him if you did it right he will roll down the book and take another worm with him. 2: Bazooka the Captain close to you 3: Bazooka between the Field Soldier and the Grenadier or at either of them. 4: Do the same as step 3 5: Go right until you get to the Field Soldier then stand just to the left of him and hit him with the Baseball Bat so he goes into the drink. 6: Use anything you've got on any remaining worm * Repeat step 6 till you win a Nuke comes after this step then a Earthquake after step 8 Cool as Ice ----------- 1: Walk right until you fall of the edge of a cliff to collect your third crate now turn on your jetpack and fly right but don't collect the crates above the enemy apart from the rightmost one that has a Mortar that might come in handy now fly over Santa's Sleigh and collect all the crates left, now fire a Homing Missile targeted at the middle crate above the enemy fire it full power directly up. 2: If the enemy isn't dead do a fly by bombing using dynamite or shot another Homing Missile. Do the Locomotion ----------------- 1: Go right and climb the cliff, Now blowtorch through the tree, retreat back into tunnel. 2: Backflip onto the tree to get the crate, Now place the girder diagonally so you can climb onto the trains roof, Now climb up the girder as much as you can. 3: Backflip onto the train then keep on jumping right, To avoid the mine stand on the tip of the trains horn then jump across try to make it down to the utility crate use a bungee cord if needed but it can get you in trouble. 4: If you haven't collected the crate collect it now use the jetpack to collect the red flashing crate. Sand in your eyes ----------------- 1: Tab to your 3rd worm (The one on the palm tree) now move left till you get to the highest part in the camel's hump now shoot an arrow to the left, Now backflip up the arrow onto the camel's head from here shoot the Field Soldier in the head he should hit the mine, Retreat back to the arrow in the camel's neck. 2: Tab to your 1st worm (The far left one) and place a girder parallel to the palm left leaf so it's diagonal remember your using this as a grapple for the Ninja Rope. 3: Tab to your 1st worm and scale the palm to get the crate now Dragon Punch the worm that is close into the water. 4: Sit on the edge of the scorched earth and use your Flamethrower to get the Special Agent into the pit. 5: Collect the crate near you then Bazooka the Field Soldier. 6: Tab to your 2nd worm (The one under the tower) and fire a Bazooka or a Grenade into the pit sending the Special Agent into the drink. 7: Go collect the red flashing Crate use a Ninja Rope if needed then Flamethrower any worms left 8: Kill any leftover worms. Not Mushroom out there... ------------------------- 1: Swing yourself on top of the mushroom using a Ninja Rope (it's very tricky) now collect the and move right enough so you can build a bridge over the mines on the next mushroom, don't block the crate on the little mushroom right of the mine mushroom 2: Go over the bridge and collect the crate on the little mushroom then teleport over to the red flashing crate. Big Shot -------- 1: Go right and climb the cliff to get to the crate now go left back to the middle of the light blue are of the mushroom now jump left then backflip up the mushroom no stand on the highest part of this mushroom and fire an arrow at the worms head to the left of you he should hit the mine and fly over your head. Now stand on the left edge of the crater and look down and fire a arrow at the Sentry, Now retreat to the right, If you did it right the Sentry will now kill the Guard with an Uzi. 2: Shot the Sentry to more times with the Bow. 3: Use your Ninja Rope to get on top of the Frog (watch out for the mines) and shot the worm up there with an Uzi. 4: Finish him off with anything. Water Surprise -------------- Note-This level is the hardest level to explain how to do it but if you take advantage of that the highest angle you can shoot an arrow is 45 degrees, It became a lot easier so I got out my 45 degree set square I use in Tech. Drawing and trigged away, Here is a small ASCII drawing of where all the shoots are fired from on top of the louvre, note t means Tree. Louvre Diagram Note= In all positions the worm is facing right and the -------------- worms belly is it's lowest point while on a slope. ____A A= Stand so the light blue triangle points to the crease in / |\ worms tail. /____|_\B B= Stand so the worms belly is just touching the horizontal / | \ thin dark blue line. ttt/______|___\C C= Stand so the worms belly is just touching the horizontal tttttttttt \ thin dark blue line. tttttttttttt \D D= Stand so the worms tail is flat and it's belly is on the ttttttttttttttttttttt edge of the lightest green area of the tree. 1: Move to point B and fire horizontally with the Long Bow. Then move to point A and fire at the highest trajectory then quickly jump to the left and huddle against the tree. 2: Move to point C and fire at the highest trajectory then go to point D and fire the same way. Your worm will die and set off both mines. 3: Move to point D and fire at the highest trajectory twice. 4: Backflip up the arrows in the Eiffel Tower now stand on the little bit jutting out almost at the top, now place the girder diagonal NNW in direction, Then quickly face the Eiffel Tower and backflip then move a little up the girder then back flip to get the crate. 5: Now, Get onto the Girder and stand on the tip now let go of the sheep make him fly over and under the Arc de Triumph into the water and fly him into the enemy worm, Don't worry you don't have to be to accurate any little touch from the explosion will make him swim. Jurassic Worm ------------- 1: Swing up from one Diplodocuses neck to another with a Ninja Rope until your attached to the left ones head now swing over and collect the crate now release the Mole to the left and press the spacebar when it's between the 1st and 2nd mines if it isn't going to hit the captain when it's close to him press the spacebar again. 2: Swing up like before then use another mole or climb down the moles hole and put a mine next to the captain if he dies they will all surrender and you'll win.

Who left the flood gates open? ------------------------------ 1: Shoot directly up at the Secret Agent using a Shotgun, You won't reach him though then get up onto the top brown box and shoot at the Field Soldier you also won't get through to him. 2: Shoot directly up again at the Secret Agent with a Shotgun now walk through the hole you and the Field Soldier made and shoot him. 3: Place a Girder Diagonally so you can get up onto the brown cable so you can get to the top right corner but don't climb up more than 1/3 of it yet. 4: Climb up the Girder and onto the brown cable and shoot at the Field Soldier across from you with a Bazooka now retreat to the top right.

American Version- 1: Collect the red flashing crate with the Super Sheep 2: Kill the other worm with the weapon you get. Hot Stuff --------- 1: Quickly collect the crate to the left of you then quickly travel right speeding up the process by roping along the bottom of the pipe to get to the Utility crate, But never I mean never set of the mine next to it, Now put a Holy Hand Grenade next to the worm close by but don't bother running away, The reason why? A HHG and a Damagex2 crate used together create one mother whopping explosion that will make a crater the size of the Grand Canyon 2: Now for the rest of the turns try to get the two remaining worms into the drink using Fire Punches, Dragon Balls, Dynamite and a Air Strike maybe. Trouble on Mount Wormore ------------------------ 1: Jump across to the other tree then backflip up it, Now stand on your other worms head & jump to get the crate then get back up on your other worms head and flick yourself up onto the mountain using the Ninja Rope jump some mines and Uzi a Sentry if you still have time. 2: Get your other worm on top of the mountain using a Ninja Rope then collect the Utility crate there and Uzi a Sentry. 3: Collect the Health crate then try to Uzi a Sentry into a mine. 4: Use the Low Gravity and scale the Welcome sign using backflips, now collect the crates up there and Uzi the Guard if you do it perfectly you can get 50 out oof him and kill him. 5: Blowtorch into the sign to get to the General. 6: Place Dynamite near him. 7: If that didn't work Uzi him. Chateau Assassin --------------- 1: Stack your first two worms up under the Oil Drum so your third worm can backflip onto the others then onto the Oil Drum then get the Crate, You can do this and collect the crate on this turn if you use the Worm Select. 2: Tuck this worm into the nook under the Oil Drum 3: Stand you worm below the Oil Drum and the use a Short NEE Girder to crate a roof, Make sure you create a seal between the girder and the Chateau. 4: Stand on the Oil Drum then place a Long NNE Girder so its bottom edge is touching the top right edge of the Oil Drum. 5: Worm select to your third worm then Handgun the Mine across from the top edge of the Girder you just placed. 6: Worm select to your third worm again then jump across to the next roof then backflip up the next roof to collect the crates now place a long Horizontal Girder 7: Worm select to your third worm again then jump onto the Girder you just placed now walk over it and make your way to collect the crates now Hangun the Mine across from you on the tallest spire of the Chateau. 8: Skip Go 9: Hide in the same corner the other worm is. 10:Place a Long Horizontal Girder so it's leftmost tip touches the the tip of the highest spire of the Chateau. 11:Skip Go 12:Skip Go 13:Jump across to the tallest spire the backflip up to the Girder you just placed then stand on edge of it now select Parachute then jump then press spacebar now hold Up and Right until your directly above the Major now just press Down (Watch out for the Mine!) now Fire Punch him to the right. 14:Jump of the edge of the tree so you hit the mine next to the General or take him with you.

Horny Nuke ---------- 1: Drop down and collect the crate below you then Rope and collect all the crates on or below the blue tentacle then retreat below the tentacle and wait for the timer to run out. 2: Rope up and across to the far left crate collecting all Crates and Health on the way then walk to the right and Drill between the Purple and Teal tentacles to collect the Indian Nuclear Strike press spacebar again after collecting the crate to stop drilling. 3: Rope up to the Guard that should have 125 health now and stand to the left of him then let her rip with the Uzi on him. 4: Roll grenade on the Guard you just Oozed 5: Rope across to the to crates that have teleported in on the other side of the terrain then rope back using the same Ninja Rope to the Artillery on the Puke Yellow Tentacle and Uzi him to the left so he falls down with the other worms. 6: Rope so your dangling down near the three worms down and to the left that let go of a HHG then retreat back onto the Puke Yellow Tentacle. 7: Throw (very lightly) a Banana Bomb down with the worms you just HHG'ed. 8: Use Indian Nuclear Test (go for high ground before you use it) 9: Uzi a Sniper into the drink. 10:If they've made a hole Uzi the Guard and Co. if not throw a Grenade over at them. * Finish off any other Worms. Rumble in the Farmyard ---------------------- 1: Walk to the left jumping the mine from the Hay till you get to the edge of the first wooden bit (The carts edge not it's handle and Zooka the Field Soldier then jump. 2: Hopefully your second worm is alive, Now this is hard go to where the last worm Zook'd the Field Soldier and aim a Ninja Rope at the mine on the pitch forks handle now flick up and over to the Wells roof then collect the crate up there then Fire Punch the worm up there to the right. 3: Shoot the Mine of the top of the Pitchfork's handle with a Shotty now use your next shot for Field Soldier down with you. 4: Using the left spearhead thing on the roof of the Well as a base abseil down to the crate then press up so your back on the roof then stand left of the right spearhead and Blowtorch down so you make a hole down through to the Captain and fall down into the captains den. 5: Shoot both of the Field Soldiers you'll probably have to climb over some stuff. 6: Get the Health crate then put a Grenade near the Captain. 7: Bazooka the Field Soldier. 8: Put Dynamite in the bottom left corner of the Captains Den. 9: Shotgun the two worms down with you. 10:The Captain should be standing on a grass patch Fire Punch him into the water. * Finish any other worms off. Wooden Ambush ------------- Here are just some hints on how to complete this level because every time I tried to write a walkthrough for it, It was flawed. * Whats in the crates? In order from left to right at the start- 2x Petrol Bomb > 3x Cluster Bomb > 1x Sheep > 3x Shotgun > 3x Motar > 1x Teleport Appears in about turn 3 NW of the Pumpkin- 1x Flamethrower Appears in about turn 6 Far North of the Pumpkin- 2x Old Woman * Take the Boomin Granny for a walk on the right side, The way the branches above the 2 worms on the right are designed a Old Woman can easily zig-zag down into there cavern. * Drown the ones on the left with a Grenade or Sheep but be careful not to drown yourself. * Shot of mines guarding crates with your Handgun. * If you set of a mine while using a Jetpack get out of there quick. Go Bananas! ----------- 1: Backflip onto the high Grapes then walk to the end of the Grape stem, Now walk off after you equipped the Bungee Cord, Now detach from the Bungee Cord and Bazooka the Sentry on the Pear stem. 2: Tab to your 1st worm, Then stand on what's left of the Pear stalk and Bazooka the bottom of the Apple Leaf. 3: Don't Tab to your 1st Worm then make your way to the Banana Bungee Jumping like before then Blowtorch horizontally through the Banana. 4: Tab to your worm in the Banana now Place a Grenade at the dead end of your tunnel using a 5 second fuse and a tap of the spacebar, retreat like hell!!. 5: Tab to your worm in the Banana then jump then mine, Now if the Wind isn't Gailforce blowing right stand on the Captains Head then jump of and Parachute to the Crate. If it is Gail force blowing to the right Handgun the Captain into the mine, then jump down using Low Gravity next turn. The Drop Zone ------------- The wind changes the outcome too much so I will just give the basic gist of how to complete it: * Tabbing to your rightmost worm always, Parachute down to the Enemy worms and Suicide Bomb them so they fly of there perch. * If the wind is Gailforce blowing to the left always give priority to the leftmost worm. * Fire Punching the rightmost worm to the left will take out the worm to the left of it. Countdown to Armageddon! ------------------------ 1: Throw a 5 sec Grenade at the Artillery to do this bounce it against the wall to the right of him it should land near him and weaken him. 2: Finish him off with a Uzi. 3: Ninja Rope to the Crate with the Girder Starter Pack, only use a max of 2 ropes. 4: Ninja Rope up to the Mayor and Prod him to the left. 5: Fill the Mayors hole with the Girder Starter Pack be more economical by making spaces. 6: Place a Girder above the hole. 7: Place a Girder above the hole. 8: Hope for the best! Mars Star --------- 1: Use the Girder Starter Pack to make bridges for the sheepie place them like this: i) A NE Long Girder, Line up the Bottom Left edge so that its horizontally in line with your worms butt and vertically in line with the highest tip of the Octopus's head. ii) A Horizontal Girder, Adjacent to the ledge after the Green Pod. iii) A NEE Short Girder, Placed as an extension of the last girder so it has a little ramp at the end of it. iv&v) Set out in the same orientation as ii&iii but place it adjacent to the purple pod but leave a small gap between the first girder and the purple pod, It might be an idea to place the smaller girder first. 2: Let the fluffy one loose and detonate the sheep just after it lands after it jumps off the light yellow pod. Mad Cows -------- This plays more like a Death Match game so here are some hints and tips: * The Crate that appears on the tail of the left cow on your third turn contains 1x Mad Cow. * Because of the tight time restrictions of this mission you must move quickly, All the utility crates contain Double Turn Time's which are very useful. * Dynamite placed on the left side of the worm on the head of the cow chewing cud will kill it indefinitely * Letting loose with a Uzi on the worm on the far right so it lands near the mine will kill it indefinitely. * I'm sure more crates containing Mad Cows fall down Bazooka on the Rocks -------------------- Like Mad Cows this is a level of pure skill, so here is: * You have to make a Bridge from the Wildebeest to the cliffs, It's hard because of the sensitivity there, If you succeed run like hell so it doesn't get destroyed by a Bazooka Round. * After making the bridge just negotiate the terrain and kill al the worms. * If your bridge ends up blown up and you end up in a big canyon dig through the rock face using Bazooka rounds from a distance it takes a while though. * You can either do two things with your worm in the far bottom right corner, 1: make him commit suicide or 2: Dig through the rock face using Bazooka rounds from a fair distance away, I would do 1 cause 2 takes too long. Stolen Goods ------------ 1: Stand on the edge of the E, now face left select Ninja Rope then press Enter twice fast then when you drop down a little press spacebar, You should grapple on to the top of the E now abseil down into the bottom gap in the E, Now place a Girder so it creates a shelter for your other worm. 2: Abseil down like before then Skip Go. 3: Blow Torch horizontally into the bottom gap of the S, Stand a little back from the edge so your other worm can fit through to Blow Torch next turn. 4: Walk right up against the wall in the bottom hole of the S then Blow Torch into the hollow of the O to get the Homing Missile. 5: Back track to the edge of the E, Then target the Homing Missile on to the worm standing on the other worms head and fire almost vertically. 6: Blow torch in to the hollow in the R. 7: Walk to the left until you get to the hollow in the O and Place a Long Horizontal Girder so that so the bottom of the P touches the left end of the Girder and the bottom of the R touches the right end of the Girder. 8: Blowtorch down onto the Girder. 9: Drop down with the other worm and fire your Shotgun at the left wall so that the bottom of the crater just takes a little out of the Girder & then just fire up or wait for your turn to pass. 10:Stand up against the left edge of the crater and Blowtorch up. 11:Place a small Girder connecting your tunnel to the O, Place a Small NNW for best results. 12:Blowtorch into the O to get the Sheep Strike. 13:Launch Sheep Strike onto Enemies. * If you haven't won yet, Get to the other crate using your remaining Blowtorch and Shotgun shells then use the Carpet Bomb on the living worms, If that doesn't work use your Uzi. Sinking Ice Cap --------------- 1: Jump up to the right so you can use the Ninja Rope to grapple onto the roof now swing down to the worm near the bunny, and stand to the left of him now blowtorch NE but after you hit him twice change your direction so your blowtorching horizontally. 2: Use your Ninja Rope to get on the roof and blowtorch into the roof hitting the worm up there twice as you do it. 3: Rope to the tree's top and Freeze. 4: Jump off the tree, but choose Ninja Rope before you do it so you can grapple onto the tree stump to the left in mid flight, now blowtorch SWW by changing direction. 5: Blowtorch into the Assassin to the left of you. 6: Now kill the last Assassin with your Blowtorch (Remember: You don't have to survive if you are not a yank) Aim Long, Aim True ------------------ Here's some tips, Because this Mission relies on Grenade skills to much to make a Walkthrough. * First turn use a Girder Starter Pack and place the Girder's like so: i) A NNE Long Girder between the Red Robot your standing on and the Blue Robot to the right of you, Place it so you can't fall down on to the mines. ii) A NW Short Girder, Place it so you can't get blown into the drink. iii) A NNE Short Girder to the right of the worm closest to you, Place it so it creates a funnel to the worm. iv) A NE Short Girder to the right of the worm on the Red Oil Drum blocking the gap to the right of it. v) A NNW Long Girder to the left of the worm on the shoulder of the right Blue Robot, place it so it funnels much like Girder No.3 (Just mirrored) * Use 5 second Grenades the way you have created the funnel layout it should work really well. * It's hard to desribe but to get the hard to get Worm, But make a Halfpipe with the other Girder Strater Pack if you throw a 5 second Grenade it will roll down & damage him. Goody Two-Shoes --------------- 1: Collect the Crate then Blowtorch NW through the Blue Shoe. 2: Blowtorch NW. 3: Blowtorch into the Worm to the left of you but make sure you finish it of at least horizontal if you finish it off facing downwards you won't be able to get out. 4: Release the Aqua Sheep up and out of your tunnel then fly it over to collect crates then attack a worm. Here is what's in the crates- On Red Shoe- 1x Airstrike On Green Shoe- 2x Baseball bat On Shoe Box from left to Right- 5x Mortar > 4x Cluster Bomb > 2x Girder > 9x Grenade > 3x Ninja rope From now on I'm using tips because it depends on what crates you got: * If you got Girder's but no Ropes you can use them to negotiate the terrain. * But Girder's can also be used for shelter. * The Airstrike can kill both worms on the green shoe if you face it left and place it between them. * Use Ninja Ropes to negotiate the terrain then Baseball Bat or Fire Punch them off. Trouble in Toy Store -------------------- 1: Jump from the Bandaged Bear's Ear to the Trike (You won't take any damage) Now place a NEE Long Girder bridging the Trike's handle Bars and the A Block (Like all important Girders don't get too close so it doesn't get blown up. 2: From were your standing place A NNW Long Girder Bridging the A Block and the Teddy's Ear. 3: Walk all the way to the other Teddy's head and collect the Health Crate the place a Grenade to the left of the Captain by facing downward using a 5 second Grenade then just tapping the Spacebar, retreat quickly. 4: Uzi the Captain. 5: Collect the crate near you then walk to the 2nd Girder you placed and Uzi the Sniper. 6: Collect the Health close by then collect the Crate and Health on the A Block then go back to the Teddy's head and Mail Strike the Artillery and Grenadier(take the wind into account) it should kill them if not Mail Strike them later. 7: Walk down into the Cave between the Bandaged Bear and the Trike and stand on the Bear's arm and Uzi into the Assassin's Den. 8: Uzi the Sniper or Captain only if there are other enemy worms alive apart from the Assassin. 9: Skip Go. 10:Uzi into the Assassin's Den. 11:Skip Go. 12:Uzi any remaining worms. * Now kill the Assassin with any weapon you choose then finish any alive worms off with Mail Strikes and such. Spectral Recovery? ------------------ 1: Blowtorch left. 2: Collect the Utility then Blowtorch SE from the lowest possible point. 3: Blowtorch left. 4: Blowtorch SW. 5: Shotgun twice to the left. 6: Blowtorch SE so you burn through the text ZX SPECTRUM do this by standing a little to the right of M, after tunnelling the word SINCLAIR should run above you parallel to your tunnel. 7: Blowtorch left to your freedom. 8: Blowtorch SE and drop down into the cave to get the crate. 9: Place a Small Horizontal Girder so it extends your tunnel. 10:Skip Go. 11:Collect the Tapes in the Crate. iii)Deathmatch Tips =-------------------= * Play a Darksided (Defensive Game) the computers teams are dumb and youll win in the end. * Keep all your Strikes for the end. * Remember "tis easier for thou to drown a foe, then thou having to use all of oneselves vigour to kill a foe" * Remember you usually are playing against two teams make them kill each other. iv)Cheat Criteria =-------------------= Mission Earned -------------- Earned if you finish that mission. - Cool as Ice- Laser Sight Big Shot- Jet Pack Who left the flood gates open?- Fast Walk Trouble on Mount Wormore- Invisibility Rumble in the farmyard- Low Gravity Mars Star- Indestructible Landscapes Spectral Recovery- Super Banana Bomb Training Earned --------------- Earned if you get gold in that Training mode. - Basic Training- Blood Mode Super Sheep Racing- Aqua Sheep Crazy Crates- Sheep Heaven Rifle Range- Shotgun (upgrade) Artillery- Grenade (upgrade) Euthanasia- Longbow (upgrade) Other ----- Invincible Worms- Get Elite Ranking in Deathmatch mode Full Wormage- Gold in all Training Modes Gold in all Missions Elite Ranking in Deathmatch 4)WormNET <---------> i)WormNET Information =--------------------= All INFO from this section has been directly converted from the WormNET Information FAQ accessible after the Patch. RANKINGS All players are ranked according to their points in the WormsLeague channels (WormsLeagueAM and WormsLeaguePRO). Both of these channels share the same results and it is split into two to ensure that lower-skill players do not get "picked off" by higher skilled players. As soon as you have a star in your rank you may play games in the PRO channel and when you have 2 stars or more, you cannot compete in the AM channel. As you win matches (and points) then you proceed to go up in rank, of which there are 12; Beginner is the lowest rank (0 points), being a small bronze arrow, ELLTE is the highest rank (250 points) which is three stars. Your rank may fall as well as rise,ranks are automatically calculated by the system. Higher ranks are harder to achieve than the first few ranks. When you reach the mighty status of ELITE rank, you can then compete in the separate ELITELEAGUE with the best of the best! Elite players also get a very special blue flaming power-bar! Note: Scores in the ELITE,ROPE,BnG or Team17 leagues do NOT count towards you rank, just the games in the WormsLeagueAM and WormsLeaguePRO channels. Team17 may, from time to time, open up new completion channels (as demonstrated recently with BnG and Team17 Leagues). SCORING SYSTEM The first important thing to note is that competing in the WormsLeage "costs" 5 points each time you play. This is automatically deducted from your score upon starting the game. (This is to prevent people from dropping their connection if losing, since points are given back after the game, even if you lose.) You score more points for beating a higher-ranked player and less for beating a lower-ranked player. You get points back for losing but finishing the game. The tougher the opponent, the more points you get back (to a maximum of 4). E.G A Player has 10 points, it costs 5 to play. He wins the game and is given 11 points, making a new total of 16. E.G A Player has 50 points, it costs 5 to play, leaving him with 45 points, He loses the game, but is given 2 points,making a new total of 47 points. LEAGUES WormsLeague Made up of channels WormsLeagueAM and WormsLeaguePRO. Both channels contribute towards your WormNET ranking and it is split into two leagues to give beginners a more reasonable chance of playing similar skilled players at the outset. When you have at least 1 star in your rank, you may play in the PRO channel. When you have 2 stars or more, you can no longer compete in the AM channel. ELITE ranked players can continue to play in the PRO channel. EliteLeague This is a separate league for the best of the best! Only Elite players may HOST or JOIN in this channel. Elite players can be spotted in other games by there incredible power bar! RopeLeague A special league for rope players, in which anyone may play. If you find it tough, get practising on CRAZY CRATES. This league uses the HORNY landscape and you'll need to be an excellent roper to compete with the best. BnG League This league is a game based on skill, using mainly Bazookas and Grenades. It features no special weapons, a random terrain and teleport in. This league is reset monthly (around the 17th) and the winner gets a special flaming RED power-bar and an entry in the WA Hall of Fame on the website. Team17League This league is a "shopping" game based on collecting the crates that drop each turn. You start with limited and 5 ropes. The emphasis of this league is fun and less skill, so everyone stands a chance of winning games.This league is reset monthly (around the 17th) and the 1inner gets a special flaming RED power-bar and an entry in the WA Hall of Fame on the website.It will be reset monthly, along with the BnG league on the 17th.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION Ranking Points The breakdown of points to get to a certain rank is as follows: Beginner 0 Rookie 5 Amateur 12 Private 20 Corporal 35 Sergeant 55 Veteran 85 General 110 Commander 140 Major 180 Field Marshall 215 Elite 250 Additional Servers Because WormNET uses IRC protocols, It's resonably easy for us to add additional servers should the system experience a lot of traffic. All data logging is still done in the UK, but additional servers will carry the chat text. HostingProblems Please note that it is currently IMPOSSIBLE to successfully HOST games if your internet connection is protected by a proxy server (or firewall). The reason for this is that your I.P. address cannot be successfully negotaited and other players cannot 'see' it properly, which means they cannot join your game. You can, however join other games without problem. If you experience problems HOSTING games and can successfully JOIN games without problem, then please check your internet connection as it's likely that this is causing the problem. ii)WormNET Strategy =-----------------= *Remember the closest 1 Player games to what you'll experience on WormNET are Deathmatch Games. *Learn to Rope really well it will help you a lot. *Keep the strikes and Homing Missiles for last. *Chat a lot but don't be a Spammer, Seeing that Phone Ring can put others off so submit what your saying at a crucial moment. iii)WormNET Lingo =---------------= In the chat function on WormNET you'll see some pretty weird shit heres what it all means Person Descriptions ------------------- Lamer Sad case.

Next, use skip go to skip the first worms turn. After that use the SECOND worm to place another girder to reach the top, and HIDE under the SECOND girder. (Mail bombs are a BITCH!). After that, you'll use skip go again on the first worm, then use the second worm to finally get the crate, from there, use Aqua Sheep to reach the general.
