Witch's Quest / Golden Hammer Quest[]
Once in Pumpkin Village, you will quickly learn that access to the Cave of the Great Pumpkin is blocked. In order to unblock it, you need to return the Golden Hammer to the town statue. Problem: the witch has it. Here is how to get it back:
- In Pumpkin Village (PV), save the shopkeeper by pushing a rock into the water near him, visit him in village shop then leave.
- Go look at machete grass until Bouapha wonders how to get past it.
- Visit shopkeeper and get the machete, cut the grass, and visit witch. She wants you to track down some ingredients for her in exchange for the hammer.
- Getting the Ingredients:
- 5 Rootwood Stalks
- Use teleporting grass to get to the 5 rootwood stalks
- 4 Coconut Plums
- You must beat Security Post in Squashburg (SB) to collect the plums. So do that first; it is the building that is cutting the town in half.
- Next, go to the dock and talk to the first guy.
- Go to the northern end of town and search the rock garden to find the two volcanic rocks. Return to the dock.
- Go to the second dock guy, then go the dark part of the swamp that has a little light in the middle. Travel northeast until you find Vladsen. Go to the southwestern most part of the swamp and defeat the orge. Take the watch, return to Vladsen. Take the cape, return to dock guy #2.
- Take the raft north, then travel down shore and collect the plums.
- 3 Midnight Thorn bushes
- There are 3 midnight thorns in the Pumpkin Village forest that are pretty easy to find.
- 2 barrels of Extra Dangerous Nuclear Waste
- You must complete a number of the Lunatic Labs worlds to gain access to the storage room in Rocket City.
- Once in there, find the least painful way to cross the nuclear waste (you will have to lose some life) to collect them. Try hugging the southernmost wall.
- 1 Moon Stone
- Go read the moon stone shine’s sign in the south end of Pumpkin Village (PV).
- Go talk to the shopkeeper.
- Go to Hammerton (HT).
- After you have beaten the house with the treehouse in the yard, go to said tree house. Talk to kids.
- Go to the red and yellow pizza shop next to Hammer Apartments. Talk to Mario.
- Go to the PV shop, talk to owner, get pepperoni.
- Go to HT, talk to Mario.
- Go to PV, talk to owner, get garlic.
- Go to HT, talk to Mario (he gives you the pizza).
- Go to tree house and talk to kids. Get Moon Stone
- 5 Rootwood Stalks
- After you get all the ingredients, return to the witch.
- Get the hammer, go to town and put the hammer back into the statue’s hand.
- A passage opens up in town allowing you to cross the river. Golden Hammer Quest complete.
The Yerf Family[]
- You are familiar with Yerfdog, but did you know he has a family? They live under Bouapha's Apartment in Hammerton. By destroying the not-as-trimmed bush around the side with a hammer, you can enter Yerfdog's home by investigating the bush out front that sits on greener grass.
- Once in side, Yerfdog will greet you. Each of his family members knows a clue that will help you locate the only hidden level in Around Bouapha's Town. However, each member wants you to complete a task before they will disclose their clue. The player is not told what these tasks are, and is therefore forced to keep checking back as they progress through the game. However, the tasks are listed here.
- YerfSis Sally - Complete the 3 Kongor levels in Pumpkin Village.
- YerfBro Yiff - Complete the 3 Murder Mystery levels in Squashburg.
- YerfMom - Complete the level Cave of the Great Pumpkin in Pumpkin Village.
- YerfDad - Complete at least 35 levels.
- Grandpa Yerf - Complete at least 40 levels.
- If you want to find the level using the clues do NOT read the last section of this wikia page. It reveals the solution to finding The Only Hidden Level.
The Only Hidden Level[]
In the level The Company Car (which is in an office building in Hammerton) there is a break in the barrier at the bottom right of the track. Exit your car and walk outside the track up and around to the top left of the screen. There is a rock by a tree. Step on it to enter The Only Hidden Level. Because this level is the only hidden one in the whole world, the player receives quite the prize for finding it (so shame on you for cheating, and looking it up here). The player has only one opportunity to collect 599 coins. Once the player uses this opportunity, future trips into this level will not allow the player to collect anything but a yellow key to the exit.
