Start by ramping out henchmen until you have 2 per coal pile. Lucy can help gather coal until you have enough henchmen.

Send Rex around to collect animals in the low area you start in. Once he's collected the samples, put him near the entrance to your base to serve as defense.

Once you do have enough henchmen, have Lucy go up and right to the steam vent, and build lightning rod, generator, LR, LR, LR. Research advanced structures as soon as the first rod is built, and have Lucy build 4 AA towers near the electrical stuff.

Now that the economy is going, get to level 3 research and build a water chamber. If Rex get attacked, just run him around in circles while his gun reloads. Build about 8-12 Chameleon/Polar Bears (Cham head and tail).

Start research to level 4 and take your critters and Rex to clear out the area until you get to the mouth of the volcano. Once it's clear, you can move your henchies over to the 2 additional coal deposits. Don't forget the animal samples.

Build back up to about 15 Chambears and add about 4-6 Musk-ox/Lobsters. Also, tail the group with at least 5 henchies. Send Rex back to the base in case any Eel/Whales appear.

Clear the area in the volcano and position you Muskobsters in the pool on the right. Split the Chambears into 2 groups, one in the pool, and one on the plateau. If you need more time, leave one of the AA towers near the entrance and have just one Chambear working on it.

After the cutscene, run your 5 henchies up and have them help repair the landing pad. Over and done with in a few seconds.

After Velika zaps your lab, get your henchmen back to work, clear out any stragglers in the volcano, and have Lucy Build a genetic amplifier and fix the lab.

Fly your copter along the bottom of the map until you find the lage coal deposit. there is a low area to the right of this where you can construct a creature chamber or 2. Delete your other critters until you have about 4 of each kind and start building Muskobsters and Chameleon/Crocs (Cham head only) from your new outpost.

Clear the enemies guarding the entrance to the coal pile and then max out the population cap with about 50-50 Muskobsters and Chamodiles. Push north and slaughter everything in sight. Make sure to keep the Chamodiles hotkeyed so you can shoot down any flying chimps when they appear.

Your main base will probably get attacked by the Eelwhales at some point, just pop Rex out of the Lab and shoot them



These are just what works for me, there are plenty of ways to finish this mission.

Of course you should fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.
