Planet of Lana (iOS) Strategy Guide
Master puzzles, master stealth, and uncover every secret shrine on mobile.
Welcome to the ultimate strategy guide for Planet of Lana on iOS! Published by Playdigious, this breathtaking sci-fi puzzle adventure requires precision, quick thinking, and seamless co-op coordination between Lana and her loyal companion, Mui.
Whether you're struggling with alien robot patrols, stuck on complex environmental puzzles, or hunting for all 10 hidden Secret Shrines, this complete walkthrough covers everything you need to know.
Core Gameplay Strategies
1. Master Mui's Companion Commands
Unlike standard platformers, progress depends on using Mui effectively:
- Stay & Follow: Always command Mui to stay in tall grass or high ledges before scouting dangerous areas ahead.
- Interactions: Mui can chew through thick black cords, crawl into tight spots to press buttons, and hypnotize specific alien creatures.
- Ropes & Vines: Mui can reach high platforms Lana can't jump to and drop down ropes to help Lana climb up.
2. Stealth Mechanics: Patience Over Speed
Planet of Lana is not a combat game. Detection by robot sentries usually results in an instant defeat:
- Use Tall Grass: Crouch in tall grass to remain invisible, even if sentries look straight toward you.
- Study Patrol Patterns: Robotic enemies operate on strict timing. Wait for them to turn away before making a dash for cover.
- Distraction Tactics: Command Mui to draw a robot's attention away from Lana, allowing her to slip past undetected.
3. iOS Controls & Settings Optimization
- Controller Support: For precision platforming during fast chase sequences, connect an Xbox, PlayStation, or MFi Bluetooth controller.
- iCloud Save Setup: Ensure iCloud Drive is toggled ON in your iOS settings to prevent losing game progress between sessions.
