I'm still trying to get that matuvu, well i comboed the gems near the matuvu with the matuvu but from the stone to there that one lucky time the combo stopped
Try getting every gem at the last point, so run ahead of it and collect it when you're in front of it. Do this for every area you struggle with, but to the complete opposite for the Matuvu and activate Look Mode as soon as you touch the red gem.
Well there really are only two difficult combos that need to be dealt with in part 1 TLOTLD. And they be the Matuvu Combo and the Hoodlum Combo [this one is much harder]. There's also the green gem combo, whereby you need to collect 20 yellow gems before the green, and this won't cause any grief so long as you play your cards right.
The matuvu combo is already horrible, so I don't wanna hear about the hoodlum combo O_o And I'm sure I'd lose my combo before I've collected 20 yellow gems anyway -_-
I'll try and make a video later on to explain it; it's quite difficult to explain what order to take them.
But yeah, the Hoodlum Combo is a different kettle of fish, and it certainly takes a lot of patience to crack it. Still, when you've mastered the moves and shooting, maybe you could attempt it.
The problem is that I want to start with the easiest level, and people say it's the Land of the Livid Dead. So, I'll have to do this combo before I can move on.
It's a bit annoying, I'll have to admit. I'll ask MANDM when I next talk to him to see how many points you need to get through.
The further levels in TLOTLD are probably easier.
