===================================DISCLAIMER================================== I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com), IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on. Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of hassle in my mailbox. So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks. Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear anywhere at the following URLs: http://www.cheatcc.com http://www.cheatindex.com This document Copyright 2004 Daniel Engel =============================================================================== Ren & Stimpy: Quest for the Shaven Yak FAQ January 06, 2006 Daniel (FecalLord) Engel fecalord [AT] gmail [DOT] com ############################################################################### (A) TABLE OF CONTENTS ############################################################################### Table of Contents (A) This Table of Contents (B) Controls (C) Story (D) Items (E) Walkthrough - (E-01) The Blacker Than Black Forest - (E-02) The Stinking Dry Desert - (E-03) The Stinking Wet Bayou - (E-04) The Perilous Mount Hoek - (E-05) The Great Frozen North (F) Experimental ############################################################################### (B) CONTROLS ############################################################################### The controls for this game are very simple, and are as follows: Left/Right - Moves your character left or right. Up - When held your attacks will fly diagonally upwards instead of straight out in front of you. Down - Used to crouch/duck. 1 - Attack. 2 - Jump. Start - Pauses the game. Super Jump - Hold up before jumping to jump MUCH higher. ############################################################################### (C) STORY ############################################################################### (Taken from the game's intro) "Stimpy: Oh Ren, look! A new pair of shoes. Ren: You stupid eeediot! Those aren't shoes. Those are hooves. The Great Shaven Yak must have left them here last Yak Shaving Day. Stimpy: Can we keep them? Ren: No! Do you want to ruin Yak Shaving Days for all eternity? Come on, man. We gotta go find that yak!" ############################################################################### (D) ITEMS ############################################################################### TV - Restores half a unit [nipple] of energy, up to a maximum of five nipples. [Which finally brings us the undeniable truth that television is great for your health! ;) ] Canteens replace TVs in the second world. Shaving Cream - This is very rare and grants you an extra life when collected. Bread - This weapon loops as it travels forward. Space Helmet - These make you invincible for a few seconds when you find one. Fire Hydrant - These act as checkpoints. You start at the last one that you reached, should you die. Remote - This weapon fires blasts of electricity that bob up and down as they fly forward. Soap - This weapon creates bubbles that fly up diagonally. ############################################################################### (E) WALKTHROUGH ############################################################################### Bricklayer J. Gastronomy After the intro you get to pick which of the two characters you want to play as. It's really a matter of who you like more since they both play in the same way. Stimpy hacks hairballs at enemies while ren throws toothbrushes at them. Each character has 3 lives and their own energy meter and both stats carry over between stages. ############################################################################### (E-01) THE BLACKER THAN BLACK FOREST ############################################################################### ======== Stage 01 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Walk up the first two hills and jump over the spikes, then attack the bird ahead before jumping over some more spikes. Walk down the hill and kill a squirrel, then walk to the bottom of the next hill and attack the squirrel above [hold up while attacking]. Ride the moving log above you to get the toast weapon, then drop down and walk up the next hill. Jump the spikes and kill a squirrel, then go down the next hill and jump the first set of spikes. Kill the bird before jumping the next set of spikes, then jump the gap ahead and attack the squirrel beyond. Grab the TV below him for a little more health, then jump across the next three gaps as you attack a squirrel beyond the third. Climb the hill and attack the squirrel before jumping the spikes, then jump the next set of spikes and the gap beyond. Attack another squirrel here and jump onto its ledge, then attack the air to the right of the cloud to make a platform appear. Jump on the platform and ride it up to a pair of TVs, then ride a log down the other side. Attack or avoid a pair of birds at the bottom as you grab another TV on your left, then head right for your first checkpoint [fire hydrant]. ------- Part 02 ------- Kill the squirrel ahead of you and continue right for a TV, then walk back left and do a high jump before you reach the wooden platform for another TV. Do a high jump from this ledge to reach a space helmet, then jump to the ledge on your right as you run right through a bunch of enemies and ride a log platform down. Drop to the ledge on your right and attack the bird on your left before grabbing the nearby TV. Walk towards the nearby hedgehog as it shoots a spine at you, then jump over him during the pause before he shoots another one since he can't be killed. Walk down the hill ahead to reach another hedgehog, then wait as he shoots a high spine and a low one. At this point you can safely jump over the hedgehog before he shoots another pair of spines. Walk down another hill and wait for the hedgehog's trio of spines (high, high, low) before jumping him. Now simple walk over the next hill to end the stage. ======== Stage 02 ======== Jump on the branch ahead of you and jump to the next branch beyond it, then take a couple steps forward before doing a high jump to the branch high above you. Wait for the bird to fly left away from you, then head that way for a TV. Go right next and jump to the branch above the lobster while you attack a woodpecker, then continue right for another TV. Jump to the branch ahead and shoot a woodpecker, then jump to the next branch and shoot yet another woodpecker. Drop to the branch below as you kill a woodpecker, then continue jumping branches until you reach a lobster at your height and a moving log above. Shoot the woodpecker behind the lobster and use a high jump to reach the log, then jump to the branch at the top. Attack a woodpecker and grab a TV beyond, then jump to the next branch below as you kill another woodpecker. Use a high jump to reach the branch above you, then jump to the next branch while killing a woodpecker. Grab the TV ahead and drop to the branch below, then jump to the branch in front of you before using a high jump to reach the branch above. Attack a woodpecker and ride the moving log on your left, then jump to the branch at the top and kill a woodpecker. Head right and ride another log down before dropping to the branch to your right, then kill a woodpecker and head right to reach a hedgehog. Wait for his two spines before jumping over him, then head right and do the same thing for another hedgehog. Jump over the nearby log as you meet another hedgehog, then jump him after he shoots two spines. Use the same strategy on the hedgehog ahead of you before jumping to a branch, then use the high jump until you can't go any higher. Attack the nearby woodpecker as you head right and reach another hedgehog, then jump him after a pair of spines. Head right and kill a pair of skunks, then take a few steps so that the brown wall in the background is behind you. Do two high jumps to reach a TV before dropping down to a hedgehog, then jump him after a trio of spines. Jump the next hedgehog after a pair of spines, then jump two more that shoot trios of spines. Finally jump a hedgehog that fires a pair of spines as you continue right to end the stage. ======== Stage 03 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Attack [hold up while you attack] a pair of skunks as you climb the hill, then walk right until you see a TV. Attack the mosquitos behind you while grabbing the TV, then do a high jump and attack the nearby bear until he starts crying. Head right and attack the mosquito that tries to get you from behind, then attack the next bear until it's safe to pass him. Walk right to land on a moving log, then attack the squirrel as you ride the log down. Jump right for a TV before riding the log back up, then jump right and continue in that direction as you kill another squirrel. Attack the bear until you can pass him, then kill the squirrel beyond as a mosquito tries to fly into you from behind. Walk down the hill and jump over the pair of squirrels to hit them easier, then grab the cash below. Ride the log up and kill the squirrel ahead, then grab the cash below the next log before riding it. Kill another squirrel before climbing a hill and killing three more, then avoid the mosquitos that fly from the left. Kill two more squirrels as you reach a gap, then jump the gap and wait for the lower squirrel to jump up. Quickly head right and grab the remote, then jump and get the TV above. Attack more squirrels as you climb the hill ahead and avoid mosquitos from behind, then use the fire hydrant beyond. ------- Part 02 ------- Walk down the hill as you jump the pair of skunks, then continue right as you attack a skunk. Jump up the ledges while shooting some more skunks, then grab another remote. Continue right as you kill about five skunks, then shoot the air near a gap to find a hidden platform. Ride the platform up to a TV, then ride the nearby log back down again. Finally attack four skunks as you head right to end the stage. ======== Stage 04 ======== This is your first boss stage where you'll be fighting a bear. Basically the boss runs back and forth at you and either jumps over you without hitting you [unless you jump] or starts clawing you. He jumps over you MUCH more often than he claws you though, so your best bet is to stay put on the ground. Just fire rapidly at the boss and turn to face him as he jumps over you so you can continue to hit him. If you keep this up he should easily die long before you do. In the short cutscene that follows you get told the password for the next world. (AURGHH) ############################################################################### (E-02) THE STINKING DRY DESERT ############################################################################### [Password: AURGHH] ======== Stage 01 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Head right as you kill a lizard, then continue right and wait for the cactus [an exact clone of the hedgehog enemies from the previous world] to shoot a spine before jumping over it. Continue right and attack the vulture while avoiding the eggs that it drops, then kill the lizard on your right. Jump the gap ahead while killing another lizard, then jump the cactus ahead after it shoots a spine [try to linger over it so it fires left before clearing your jump, since it fires the spines faster than usual]. Kill the lizard ahead and wait by the edge of the cliff, then jump to the log when it gets close. Ride the log to the other side of the gap and grab the nearby remote, then carefully approach the next cactus because it shoots two spines at once. Jump the cactus when it's safe and use the fire hydrant beyond. ------- Part 02 ------- Jump a pair of gaps ahead while killing two lizards, then ride the log down and grab both canteens for some health. Ride the log back up to the next ledge, then jump over the fast, single-spine cactus when it's safe. Continue right as you kill three lizards, then jump over a double-spine cactus when it's safe. Kill a pair of lizards as you head right, then jump to the nearby log and grab the canteen below it. Ride the log to the ledge on your right and use the fire hydrant there. ------- Part 03 ------- Kill the vulture up ahead and wait for the cactus's triple-spine shot before jumping it, then grab the soap on the other side before jumping some spikes ahead. Attack another vulture as you jump a pair of spikes, then attack another yet vulture followed by a scorpion. Continue right as you jump a pair of spikes and kill a vulture, a scorpion, and another vulture. Jump to the nearby log next and ride it to the next ledge, then head right as you kill a pair of scorpions and a vulture. Jump the spikes for some more soap, then kill a series of vultures and scorpions (about 4 of each) until you reach a log. Finally jump to the log and ride it down to end the stage. ======== Stage 02 ======== Ride the log down to the ground, then kill a nearby lizard before jumping some spikes. Jump across a pair of gaps while killing a pair of lizards, then continue right to a log and ride it down to end this ridiculously short stage. ======== Stage 03 ======== Jump the nearby spikes and approach the pile of bones, then jump it when it comes to life. Jump a pair of spikes, a gap and another pair of spikes before jumping another bone enemy. Now grab the nearby canteen and ride the log to end this short stage. ======== Stage 04 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Ride the log up to the ledge, then head right as you jump over whirlwinds and tumbleweeds and eventually reach a log. Ride the log down to the next ledge and head right past more tumbleweeds and whirlwinds [a couple come from behind you so watch out]. Ride the next log up into the air, then jump to a second log in mid air when it starts to slow down. Ride this log right to the next ledge, then head right to the next log as you jump more whirlwinds and a bone enemy. Ride this log straight up to the next ledge, then head right a few steps and ride the next log down. Jump some whirlwinds as you head right, then ride a log down to the next ledge. The pile of bones up ahead can't be killed, it just throws one bone at you between pauses [much like the hedgehog and cactus enemies]. Jump over the enemy when it's safe and head right while avoiding whirlwinds from behind, then use the nearby fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Ride the nearby log up to the next ledge, then jump a bone-throwing enemy when it's safe. Quickly ride the log up to the next ledge before riding another log down, then head right past some flying bones and a pair of whirlwinds that come from behind. Ride the log up to a canteen, then ride the next log down to the ledge below. Head right past whirlwinds as you jump up the ledges, then jump over a freaky looking large enemy that runs at you from behind. Ride the nearby log across the gap, then jump the bone enemy between throws. Drop off the cliff and avoid a whirlwind as you pass a log and bone enemy up ahead, then ride a nearby log over the gap. Carefully jump past the bone enemy [he throws two bones at a time] and ride the next log up, then jump a group of tumbleweeds and work your way across the pair of logs. Jump more tumbleweeds up ahead and ride the log down to end the stage. ======== Stage 05 ======== Head carefully right past all the dripping from above, then take the canteen up ahead before going left down the slope. Take the remote and go left past some drips, then shoot the series of spiders to get past them. Watch for drips just past the crab and ride the nearby log down. At this point most people would go right and eventually find a fire hydrant and the end of the stage, but there is a shorter route that we'll be taking. Drop left and kill a few crabs as you take a remote and some kitty litter, then head right past spiders, crabs and drips. Finally ride the log up when you reach it to end the stage. ======== Stage 06 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Kill the crabs and vultures to your right as you jump the frogs, then jump from the moving log to the next ledge and jump another frog. Shoot your way right and drop down below the log for a canteen, then ignore the soap [I don't find it very useful as you can just hold up as you fire your default weapon without losing it's horizontal shot] as you jump from the log to the ledge on your right. Kill a pair of vultures and high jump up to the kitty litter and space helmet above, then rush right past all enemies until you reach a fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- High jump up to a nearby canteen and head right past the geysers and vultures as you ignore the soap. Ignore the shots of the nearby geyser as you head right past some other geysers and reach the next fire hydrant. ------- Part 03 ------- Head right past a pair of geysers and a vulture, then carefully head past the shots of the next geyser and the crabs beyond. Ignore the soap as you kill a vulture and some more crabs, then carefully jump past the shots of a nearby geyser. Take out the enemies ahead while avoiding a frog and more geysers, then avoid the shots of a nearby pair of geyser. Kill the crab beyond and ride the log down to end the stage. ======== Stage 07 ======== Head right and carefully jump the gap while avoiding the shots of the nearby geyser, then jump a pair of gaps and another shooting geyser. Continue right past a pair of gaps and some frogs, then ride the log up to end the stage. ======== Stage 08 ======== This is your second boss stage where you'll be fighting a snake. The snake fires around three shots at a time that follow a wave pattern as they fly toward you. If you try to jump the shots you'll likely get hit by one of them and it's more trouble than it's worth. However if you duck under the shots you can simply hold down and fire like mad. Depending on where you're standing the shots may still be able to hit you while you're ducking but I find if you're at a fairly close distance to the snake the shots fly right over you and you can score some massive damage. In the short cutscene after the battle you get told the password for the next world. (ZONNNK) ############################################################################### (E-03) THE STINKING WET BAYOU ############################################################################### [Password: ZONNNK] ======== Stage 01 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Shoot your way right past the mosquitos and gaps until you come to a large gap, then high jump over it and the spikes beyond. Shoot in front of you on the next ledge to find a canoe, then ride it up to some toast before taking a log back down. Kill more mosquitos as you climb the nearby hill, then kill a snake and avoid frogs while you high jump the next gap. Ride the log before jumping right past the frog, then kill more mosquitos and avoid the frogs as you high jump right to the fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Head carefully right past mosquitos and a frog, then ride the log down and continue right past more of the same enemies. Finally head right past snakes, crabs [that now jump] and more mosquitos to end the stage. ======== Stage 02 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Jump right past the ledges and over the flies [you can't hurt them], then jump on the creature in the water to reach the other side. Kill the crab and avoid the flies as you jump across the water creatures [when they're floating high]. Avoid the flies and ride a moving water creature, then shoot the plant and quickly high jump past it. Continue high jumping your way past plants and flies before riding a water creature right, then go right past a crab, plant and snake. Avoid the flies and head right past a crab, a plant and more flies to reach a fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- High jump right past the enemies and use a pair of water creatures to continue right, then kill a grab and use another water creature to reach some plants. High jump over them and head right up the hill, then jump over the enemy that runs at you from behind. Kill the crab and ride the log down before using a water creature to head right, then kill another crab and avoid some flies while rising another water creature. Head right past the crab and plant for some toast, then ride a water creature right and shoot your way right to end the stage. ======== Stage 03 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Jump right and kill the mudskipper, then jump the series of spikes and stick to the low road for some toast. Continue right as you kill a variety of enemies, then high jump over the gap and kill a mudskipper. Stick to the low road as you kill the enemies up ahead, then jump to the hill and climb it to reach a fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Shoot your way right and use the moving log to clear the gap, then avoid the frog and jump the gap. Avoid another frog and jump up to the slope, then shoot your way right to end the stage. ======== Stage 04 ======== This is your third boss stage where you'll be fighting a leech. The boss first rushes three times on the lower level, then jumps to the upper level and does the same. Finally he walks past you three times on the lower level before jumping into the water and repeating the pattern. I find it works best to fire from below when the boss is rushing on the upper level, otherwise you can get your hits in when he's walking on the lower level without much risk of being hit. In the short cutscene after the battle you get told the password for the next world. (YYYOWW) ############################################################################### (E-04) THE PERILOUS MOUNT HOEK ############################################################################### [Password: YYYOWW] ======== Stage 01 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Cross the bridge and jump over the discoloured section or you'll fall to your death. Shoot your way right as you cross a safe bridge and another broken one, then watch yourself on the ice as you drop off the next ledge. Drop left down a series of ledges for some food, then jump back up and continue right past more ice and a broken bridge. Shoot your way across a larger broken bridge to reach a fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Take the high road and grab the food on your left as you avoid lightning from the clouds, then take the space helmet by the ice on your right. Quickly high jump up as far as you can go and rush right past the spikes and broken bridge. Head right past clouds, spikes and ice to reach some toast, then ride the log down and slide right to end the stage. ======== Stage 02 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Kill the rams and vultures as you go right across a safe bridge and some ice, then take the toast and shoot your way right. Drop off the cliff up ahead and go back left a little to reach a fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Shoot your way right past a couple of ice patches, then shoot right of the second one to find a canoe. Ride the canoe up to find some food, then ride the log down and weave down the ledges below. Ride another log down before dropping down some more ledges, then ignore the soap to your right and shoot your way to a nearby fire hydrant instead. ------- Part 03 ------- Head right a little and high jump all the way to the top, then go right past vultures and spikes to reach some food. Drop off the ledges when you come to them and shoot the worms and rams. Finally slide right on the ice to end the stage. ======== Stage 03 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Jump up the ledges and shoot the bear, then ride the log down and avoid the slug before shooting another bear. Jump across the gaps while shooting the enemies, then high jump and avoid some flies as you come to a log. Ride the log right and high jump over the bear to reach the fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Ride the log right before shooting the bird and jumping the slug, then watch out for a mosquito that comes from behind. Ride the next log and take the toast up ahead, then shoot your way right to a log. Ignore the log and drop off the ledge instead, then jump over the bear and ride the next log. Shoot your way right here and jump the gap to find the next fire hydrant. ------- Part 03 ------- Jump up the platforms and shoot your way past the bear, then drop down the ledges on the other side and shoot your way right. Slide across a large patch of ice and jump the enemy that runs at you from behind, then touch the fire hydrant. ------- Part 04 ------- Slide right and jump the gap before shooting the mosquito that's chasing you, then shoot past the bear and continue shooting your way past a variety of enemies. Avoid the flies along the way as you shoot a number of bears and watch out for mosquitos coming from behind. The end of the stage is just ahead so keep heading right and you'll be there in no time. ======== Stage 04 ======== This is your fourth boss stage where you'll be fighting a lumberjack. The boss throw two axes that come back to him, then he walks right and throw three of these axes before the pattern repeats. The axes travel pretty fast but you're able to duck under them as they fly over you and jump over them as they come back. I find it works best to duck and fire like crazy, then continue holding down and firing as you jump the axe [on it's way back]. Jump or high jump the boss when he moves, then keep up your strategy and he should die quickly. In the short cutscene after the battle you get told the password for the next world. (ZOWCHH) ############################################################################### (E-05) THE GREAT FROZEN NORTH ############################################################################### [Password: ZOWCHH] ======== Stage 01 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Shoot or jump your way past the bunnies and watch out for a falling spike at the top of the hill, then shoot some more bunnies and avoid a spike at the top of the next hill. Drop down the ledges beyond and high jump right over the spikes for some food, then head left down the slope as you kill crabs and avoid blue spikes falling from above. Ride the log down and go right past frogs and falling spikes to find some food, then continue shooting your way right to reach a fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Now VERY CAREFULLY work your way right up the hill past the rolling and bouncing balls. Remember that you can stop at any time and no more balls will come until you start climbing higher. Watch out for an enemy that runs at you from behind once you jump the first gap, then finish your climb to end the stage. ======== Stage 02 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Jump right past birds, fish and spikes, then grab the remote and kill the penguin below. Kill another penguin up ahead and carefully grab the food above, then drop right and jump to the fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Jump the gap and kill the penguin, then stay low as you jump the next gap and shoot another penguin. Take out any fish in your way and grab the food above the next ledge as you shoot your way right and take some more food above you. High jump up to some health and ride the log down, then drop when it disappears to find some food and toast. Ride the nearby log right and continue in that direction past a few enemies to reach the next fire hydrant. ------- Part 03 ------- Shoot your way right while sticking to the low road, then ride the canoe up to some shaving cream if your shots uncover it. Ride the log back down and go right to another log, then ride that one down and shoot a few more penguins before reaching the next fire hydrant. ------- Part 04 ------- Shoot your way right past fish, penguins and birds as the paths split. Take either path and head right past many annoying fish, then continue right a little farther to end the stage. ======== Stage 03 ======== ------- Part 01 ------- Shoot your way right until you reach a log, then ride it up to continue right. Jump up the ledges for some toast and head right to a log, then ride the log down and shoot the nearby bear before going right to the fire hydrant. ------- Part 02 ------- Head right past the bears and carefully work your way past all the rolling balls to end the stage. ======== Stage 04 ======== This is your fifth boss stage where you'll be fighting a yeti. The boss here throws a ball at you that bounces, then he throws a second ball that pauses in mid-air before splitting into two balls that bounce in opposite directions. He then runs to the other side of the screen and the pattern repeats. I was only ever to damage the boss when he was on the right and about to throw a ball, by shooting him in the face [which I did from the ground by holding up and attacking]. I'm not sure if it's possible to damage him at any other time, but you can attack at this point in his pattern to slowly kill him. After the battle you can sit back and watch the ending to the game! ############################################################################### (F) EXPERIMENTAL ############################################################################### For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had the same idea. I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to send money, so it's here for those people. For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some excellent progress on a few FAQs. If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement. My email address is fecalord (AT) gmail (DOT) com, and the paypal address is listed below.
