Tunnel 1
After dropping down to the platform, you can follow the way to the left or enter the secret area which is behind the debris

Secret Area 1:

''Drop down and go through the door. After you exit the other door, escape from the flying Slig and drop to the lower platform. Hide behind the metal pillar as there is another slig patrolling the lower platform. Get all the Mudokons to follow you to the other side and put them to work before the electricity circuit. Hide as the Slig comes back. After the Slig leaves, get the Mudokons to follow you one by one, while you pull the lever to deactivate the electric field and open the hatch. After dropping all of the Mudokons down, jump into the well and tell all of the Mudokons to work under the three wheels. After the door is opened, chant to rescue them. Go through the previously locked door and after a while you will find some trapped Mudokons. Chant to open the bird portal and they will all escape. Go back the way you came and jump into the well. Be careful as it will drop you on the platform above where the Slig is. After avoiding him, climb back up and into the door.''

Go towards the right side and jump down. Follow the way until you find a small tutorial area. By accessing the pad, the locked door will open. After exiting that small area, get the Mudokon who is on your left to follow you and rescue him through the bird portal which will also open the door. Continue by turning the wheel to open the locked door. The Mudokon on your right will get angry as water will fall upon him. Calm him by saying "Sorry" and rescue him through the portal ahead. Make your way to the next area. Pull the wheel and get the Mudokons out of the laughing gas. After getting to a clear area, slap them to get them back to their normal state and put them to work under the next 2 wheels. Get them and rescue them through the portal. Take the lift up and make your way to the right. A sleeping Slig is on the platform above you. Sneak past him and go to the end of the platform. Pull the lever and go through the door. Get the Mudokons out of the laughing gas and slap them when you reach a clear area. Get them to sneak past the slig and put them to work under the 2 wheels. You must work the 3rd one to open the doors. Go through the door and pull the handle. Get them all to follow you and rescue them through the portal. Drop down to the lowest platform and make your way to the left. Sneak past the Slig by entering the dark areas. After passing through the laughing gas another Slig will appear. Avoid him by entering once again the dark areas and be on your way. When you approach the 2 mines, deactivate them carefully. Make your way up and enter the well. Go through the left and possess the Slig. Use the teleporters to get him on the platforms behind. Use the Slig to kill the other ones in order to clear that platform. Climb up to get to the opposite platform and use the teleporters yourself to get to the platform behind. Save all the Mudokons that work on that platform, then get back the way you came. Go back down to save the other Mudokons you left behind. After saving them, go back up and enter the well that is on the very top.

Sneak past the sleeping Slig and drop down. Once again sneak and go through. Climb up and get all of the Mudokons to follow you. Get them down and make them sneak past the Slig. After reaching the end, put them to work under the wheels with you at the last one.
