Starting Speech
"I have had a disturbing vision. The Chumara Tribe turned my own Followers against me when I attacked! I must find a way to reach their Vault of Knowledge and learn how to use this power against them."
Setting
This is the third level in Populous, you face the Chumara tribe for the first time in Single Player. You start on a large tropical island seperated from the Chumara tribe by huge hills. The Totem Pole casts an Erode on the far end of the mountain making a path to the Vault of Knowledge which gives you the Temple.
Enemy tribes: Chumara
Worship Objects:
| Item | Shots | Spell/Effect | Follower Count |
| Totem Pole | Erode | 1 | |
| Vault of Knowledge | Temple |
Strategy
A basic strategy is to send your shaman to the Totem Pole which lowers the mountain for your shaman to pass through and worship the Vault of Knowledge. Meanwhile build as many huts as you can and a Warrior Training Hut. When you have the Temple build it and make an army of about several preachers and warriors. Attack the enemy tribe using your army and use Blast to kill the enemy shaman.
You can easily complete this level without Preachers. Build about 5 Huts and a Warrior Training Hut and train about 5-7 Warriors and send them to the enemy base along with your Shaman. Blast the Preacher guarding the base killing it, kill the enemy Shaman, destroy the Temple and kill the rest of the Braves.
Rushing
It is possible to rush by gathering all your starting followers, and rush the enemy. Kill their shaman as quickly as possible with blasts to ensure she does not convert too many wildmen. You should achive instant victory with no building required.
