*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 33: RORSCHACH TEST *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Get all the men to the lower left corner.
1] Attract all the men to the bottom left corner (you can do this from
the bottom right corner) and collect all the chests.
2] If any chest is picked up by a man, try to get him to drop it for
you toward the bottom middle of the board.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 34 SPLIT SECOND *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] As the man starts down the second long ladder from the left after
you, dig the brick to the right of the first short ladder. Get him to
follow you through and exit down the ladder to the left, then back up
the long ladder. This gets you past the man.
2] Get all the chests in the left section, taking one at a time, and
each time escaping back throughthe brick left of the top short
ladder.
3] Get the chest in the middle section by shooting holes to the
ladders below the middle short ladder and always escaping back through
your starting point.
4] Get all the chests in the right section and escape.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 35: BARREN BOARD *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
The only important thing to know about this level is to spend as much
of your time as possible on the second row from the top. The men will
bring you many of the chests and you can drop down to the ground level
to pick up others after you've caught all of the men in the pits.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 36: BI-PLANE CLIMB *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Trap the men in the upper 2 chambers by leading them over the outer
edges. Then collect the rest of the chests being careful you can
always escape via the center ladders.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 37: CREEPY CASTLE *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Follow the man through the traps using him like an elevator to the
first chest on the upper right. Collec the rest of the chests by
clever digging.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 38: BROTHERHOOD *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Try to keep the men together. Get the first left chest in the ledge
first.
1] First, get the first left chest in the ledge, using a man's head to
step on.
2] Run to the bottom of the far right ladder on the floor and get all
the men on the ladder to the left of you Go to the top of your ladder
to force the men to the top of their ladder. Collect as many chests as
you can.
3] Use traps between the 2 ladders to get to the bottom of the board,
and run quickly to the far left bottom ladder and climb.
4] Collect as many chests as you can while keeping the men together on
their ladder.
5] To keep them together and get past them, wait at the bottom of the
far left bottom ladder, drawing them over and, at the last second,
climb up and run for their ladder. The men will return to their ladder
from below, but too late to interfere with you.
6] Collect the rest of the chests by repeating step 5.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 39: OMEGA WABBIT *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Trap a man in the brick at the bottom right of the long left
ladder. Use this ladder to force the man left when he climbs out of
the hole - he'll then fall into the chamber allowing you to get the
chest in the center of the chamber.
2] Get the chest in the rabbit's left nostril, while you lead the men
behind you.
3] Collect the rest of the chests.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 40: TAX MAN *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Lure the man into the left center pit, but don't get stuck there
yourself.
2] Dig a column between first 2 rows of short ladders on the right to
get the right bottom chest.
3] Repeat step 2 on the left side. Dig the brick left of the bottom
left chest. If you move to the short ladder across from it the man
will get the chest and when the brick refills, he'll be destroyed
along
with the chest.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 41: HOMICIDE *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Destroy the men repeatedly until they trap themselves in the 3
single holes across the top.
2] Collect the rest of the chests, leaving the bottom left chest for
last.
3] When you get the last chest, the men will be released. To escape
through the ladder that appears, run over the men's heads, from left
to right to short right ladder on the 4th floor.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 42: ETCH A SKETCH *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Dig the 4 bricks to the right of the 4th ladder from the left,
using timed digging as done in previous levels, to get to the chest
beneath.
2] To get to the first chest on the right, start digging at the top of
the top right ladder. Dig your way to the chest, leaving an exit path
out to the left of the bricks to the right of the 4th ladder from the
right.
3] Work you way to the left side of the board by exiting through the
brick to the left of the short middle ladder.
4] Use timed digging on the bricks to the right of the far left ladder
to get to the first left chest.
5] Dig the 3 bricks down the left side of the 8th ladder from the
left. Dig down to the brick over the 7th ladder from the left. Run
back up the ladder, drop down on the brick to the left of the 9th
ladder from the left, dig it and get the chest and exit by digging the
brick under it and dropping to the floor.
6] Work your way back to the left side of the board.
7] SURPRISE! The man trapped in the lower left chamber has a chest!
You must release him and then trap him in order to get the chest from
him.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 43: STACK ATTACK *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Stack the men on top of each other in the left and right ledges
(second floor from the bottom) so that the top man can get at the
seemingly unreachable gold chests on the left and right sides
Repetitive digging is required.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 44: CAN OF CORN *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Collect the left chest by descending then centermost of the 4
ladders that reach the top of the screen. Then dig away the brick to
the left of the ladder's base. Drop in that hole and descend to the
ladder beneath it, digging the 2 bricks to the left of the ladder as
you descend. Then move left and dig away the brick immediately to the
right of the gold chest. Race back up the ladders until you are
standing just above and to the left of the first brick you dug. Go
left and drop straight down onto the gold chest. Climb back to the
top of the board before the bricks fill in.
2] The 2nd gold chest is easy to get to however, getting back to the
tope of the board is difficult since there's only one way. You'll have
to travel the bottom bar to the leftmost ladder, climb up, and then
work your way back to the right by digging in order to get out.
P.S. The ladder that appears at the far right after you collect the
second gold chest is a red herring.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 45: TENEMENT LIFE *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
You must use timed digging on the row of bricks to the right of the
2nd ladder from the left.
1] Dig the top brick, pause, dig the 2nd brick, pause until the top
brick reappears, then dig the 3rd brick. Now run to the top of the
ladder and all the way to the right. Dig and drop down onto the chest
that is floating in the air, then run left until you have regained the
safety of the ladder.
2] Don't stop for breath. Before the 3rd brick fill in, dig out the
4th. Then go back up the ladder and dig out the 1st and 2nd bricks
again. Descend and dig out the 5th brick from the top. When the 4th
brick reappears, dig out the 3rd and the 6th brick. Run right (across
the top of the 4th brick) and dig out the brick just over the short
ladder. Then back up one brick and dig out another brick. Jump down
in the hole and, standing on the ladder, dig out the 2 bricks that
form a wall to the left of the ladder. Then drop down to the chest
below the short ladder and run left. The floating chest is left up to
you.
3] Your exit is at the bottom of the bottom of the long ladder. There
are 2 clever parts to the right side. In the top part, you'll need to
stand on the head of a falling man to pick up the leftmost chests. The
most difficult part is the bottom.

Use timed digging, first to reach the top chest (digging bricks in the
order A,B,C,D,E) then starting over and getting the bottom chest (Dig
A,B,C,D,E,F and G). Run up and over brick A, which will have
reappeared. Then drop down through brick D and dig H, I and J).

1] Get the top 2 men to fall into the 2 trap doors (marked T) by
dropping to point A when a guard is at point B. Then you can clear up
the left side of the board in peace.
2] Be sure to pick up chest C by by following the 2 guards you have
trapped and running over their heads back to the middle ladder. Then
dig your way to the right part of the board by blasting through the
bricks to the right of point A and immedia- tely cutting through to
chest D.
3] Dig your way to the short ladder marked E and descend it to bring
the last free man toward you and trap him in the hole to your right.
Now clean up al the remaining chests on the board except for chests F
and G.
4] You can get to chest F and G by digging the brick to the left of
the 2 men stuck in the trap doors and jumping in the hole (the second
brick down is also a trap door so you'll be able to walk out of it to
chest F). Pick up chest G and run over the other 2 men's heads until
you're back on top of ladder E.
5] If the pit to the right of ladder E hasn't been filled with a
ladder, then one of the 2 men at the bottom is carrying a chest.
You'll have to kill them to fill the pit and free yourself. You can do
this by digging the block to the left of ladder E, staying at the top
of the ladder until the brick is about to fill in, and then descending
to draw the guards toward you.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 47: TEMPLE OF TOMBS *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Move to the left and get the 4 men trapped into holes. Run over
their heads and go to the ladder on the left.
2] Dig down to the 1st 4 chests at the bottom left rows.
3] Next, position yourself just to the right of the rightmost man. Dig
the 2 bricks to the right of him, work- ing right to left (you'll have
to dig the 2nd brick while standing on his head). Take one step to the
left as you finish digging the 2nd brick so you won't fall when the
man starts to move.
4] After he drops into the hole in the next row, jump in after him,
run to the right, and repeat the process as you proceed to collect the
top and then the bottom chests on the diagonal.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 48: AZTECA *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] Begin by digging at the bottom of the board to kill the men. Keep
doing that till they fall through the 4 traps at the top of the screen
into the holes.
2] Fall on the man's head, get the chests, dig and release the man and
continue recovering the chests (same technique as level 47).

This level makes extensive use of a little known capability-it is
possible to blast bricks in the normal manner while standing inside a
trap door.
1] Dig brick A and jump in. You'll fall into the trap door below brick
A. Wait for brick A to reappear, then dig brick B, exit left to the
ladder and cross over to brick C, where you repeat the process. Once
bricks B and D have been removed, you can enter the central room,
recover the chest and dig down to the rooms underneath.
2] Many of the other bricks in this level play off the same trick-you
stand inside a trap door and dig an adjacent brick.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
* LEVEL 50: YOU ARE A CHAMP *
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
1] If you've gotten this far, you're a pretty good Lode Runner player,
so you're going to have to figure out this level with the help of just
one minor clue...
Here's the hint. Just as level 49 hinged on being able to dig from
within a trap door, level 50 hinges on your ability to dig bricks
while falling on the head of a man.
Good luck!
