Objective: Ecco must find help to move past the crushing machine.
Exit the tunnel to find an air stop under the exit. Swim into the glass tunnel and meet a mover dolphin. He won't talk to you, yet. Keep following the glass tunnel until you come to a closed door. Look around and you'll find a dolphin swimming on the outside. Use your sonar on him and he will turn on the machine. As soon as he is done talking, dash out of the tunnel to where the mover is swimming (if you don't move quickly, you'll be locked inside the tunnel).
After the conveyor belt starts moving, you can find the mover dolphin outside the tunnel hanging out with the baby dolphin that followed you into this level. They will offer clues as to what you should be doing next. Go back into the first tunnel (the one you started the level in) and swim behind the wagon full of rocks. The two movers will help you push it out of the tunnel. After the movie, there will be rocks on the conveyor belt. Follow the belt into the glass tunnel and go into the air room. There are two types of doors in the tunnel, one and two doors, and the switches reflect that with one and two gears. Use your sonar to activate the switch with one gear and dash out of the air room and through the open doors until you reach the closed one. This time you must trigger both switches and again dash quickly down the tunnel (dash through double doors when a rock goes through it) until you reach the final area.
The Crusher
Pay attention to the giant machine in the rotating room. It has a pattern that you must use to your advantage. First, push the rocks into the rotating room (try pushing all the rocks at the entrance, the more rocks you have on the floor below the better). Next, wait until the floor stops moving and for the crusher to start working before swimming down. Use Ecco's new ability to tractor beam the rocks to the middle of the floor until the floor opens and the exit of this level is exposed.
