Release The Hounds! is the fourth level in The Halls of Undermountain. It involves more Kaboom! trapping and clearing paths to the majority of the level's rainbow coins. The Kaboom!s are locked behind gates, and all may be released by a push of a single button.
Walkthrough
Note: All Kaboom!s turn right along walls, relative to their directions.
The two free rainbow coins among the Kaboom! gates can be collected first thing. For the other coins, it is best to push the Kaboom! release button after setting up the boxes to trap Kaboom!s with. However, fast action is needed since this level's timer is set to two minutes.
To set up the box-in before releasing the Kaboom!s, first push the northernmost boxes one space up each, then go around and position them against the walls that make up the passage to the exit (See below image for proper placement). The other boxes should remain untouched for now.
Push the yellow button to "release the hounds". First, box in a Kaboom! to clear the passage to the westmost rainbow coin. Then box in one at the passage to the pink button. Finally, the easternmost coin passage.
If done at a decent speed, collecting the last coin should trigger not just the exit access but the pink button and its gates so that the bonus coins can be collected. They can all be collected easily before time runs out.
- For the western bonus coins, take the northern conveyor belt path, followed by the southern one after.
- For the eastern bonus coins, take the northern conveyor belt path for all coins.
