Grunty Industries Walkthrough 2024

Last Updated on: November 10, 2024

When considering one of the classic games in popular culture – Banjo-Tooie – this Grunty industry is one of the most frustratingly challenging worlds. The industrial jungle of machinery, factory floors, and hidden secrets thrown at players is not just a run-of-the-mill platformer level, and Grunty Industries requires strategic thought, planning, and an eye for detail.

Here is the walkthrough that should guide you through Grunty Industries. Inside you can find Jinjos, Jiggies, moves, and tips for overcoming those tricky challenges.

Accessing Grunty Industries

You have to work a bit to get inside Grunty Industries, but that’s after making sure the train station has been unlocked in Glitter Gulch Mine. First, take Chuffy-the-train into the factory grounds, and get the train unlocked so that Chuffy can bring you right into the factory complex.

Once you get inside, this is one of the hardest and most complex puzzles of the game. Make sure you have all the moves learned from previous levels and have a good understanding of the special skill set for Banjo and Kazooie will be your best asset here.

Navigating Grunty Industries: An Overview of the Floors

Grunty Industries consists of five floors, each one unique, with its design and obstacles. Here is a general overview of the floor:

Floor 1: The first floor consists of the main lobby area; there are many entrances to that floor. You can find the service elevator, the train station, and several ways to go to other floors.
Floor 2: You can see some factory machines and conveyor belts. Workers’ quarters are located here, and around there hide some Jiggies and Jinjos.
Floor 3: New mechanics are introduced to you, such as switches, pools with toxic waste, and Waste Disposal plants. Get ready for some serious squeeze times.
Floor 4: It is, most likely, your most complex floor in the game, and it introduces you to the Electromagnetic chamber where you will have one of the toughest Jiggies in the world.
Floor 5: Here, in the Quality Control area, some tricky challenges, await you. It’s steep in difficulty, but there’s a lot worth being rewarded at this point.

Each floor in Grunty Industries is connected, and progression requires moving to one floor, completing some objectives, and then using elevators or some other paths to reach another floor. Because it’s the first floor, the service elevator proves important in rapidly moving between floors.

Key Moves Needed in Grunty Industries

To defeat Grunty Industries, you will need a few moves that Banjo and Kazooie learn throughout the game. Here’s a look at the moves you will need most:

Pack Whack (Banjo): The move in which Banjo can swat enemies and objects with his backpack. It proved to be very useful in fighting the enemy on the conveyor belts
Snooze Pack (Banjo): A move that restores health; it proves to be of real use whenever you are in hazardous areas like toxic waste zones.
Charge of the Battery (Kazooie): This is used to charge up different parts of the factory using Kazooie. She can insert batteries in the level’s generators unlock doors and activate various equipment.

Make sure to unlock these for yourself if you haven’t already before you get too far into the factory.

How to Get Each Jiggy in Grunty Industries

There are ten Jiggies to be found in Grunty Industries. Listed below is a guide that should help you find each one:

Trash Compactor Jiggy: Walk through Waste Disposal Plant on Floor 3. On this floor, you will enter the trash compactor room, where you have to use Banjo’s Snooze Pack ability because you get squished and lose health. Once in, go ahead and hit the switch that will stop the compactor so you can get the Jiggy.
Power Hut Jiggy Get to Floor 2 and find the workers’ quarters: Go inside the Power Hut, and then use Kazooie to break up this glass. Now use your skills to navigate through the obstacles in there and grab that Jiggy.
Boiler Room Jiggy: In Boiler Room, Floor 4 You should find this location infested with aggressive Twinklies and mechanical firecreatures. Defeat them with attacks by Banjo and Kazooie, then collect the Jiggy located in the center of the room, once you have cleared the room of them.
Quality Control Jiggy Go to the fifth floor and get to the Quality Control Room: Inside, you have to stand next to a switch that will release a Jiggy, but beware of the crunching machines. It’s a game of timing and aiming for you to take this Jiggy safely.
Electromagnet Chamber Jiggy: This has to be one of the toughest Jiggies to obtain. For this Jiggy, go down to Floor 3 and gain access to the power control; this is going to turn off the electromagnetic in the process. Wait for the power to go back on and dash back into the chamber, thereby clearing it up to grab your Jiggy.
Washer Jiggy: Use Mumbo’s transformation ability to transform Banjo into a washer. Using the washer, you can access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. Clean all the workers’ clothes on each floor to earn this Jiggy.
Service Elevator Jiggy: Drop down on Floor 1, to the service elevator, and ride it up to Floor 5. In one of the rooms, there’s a Jiggy hidden in an annoying section that requires some platforming work.
Waste Disposal Jiggy: Ride the elevator up to Floor 3, and then ride it down to the Waste Disposal Plant. Stay on Floor 3 to find a section with poisonous waste. This Jiggy requires perfectly timed jumps to avoid hazards.
Worker’s Quarters Jiggy: As the washing machine, enter the worker’s quarters, and use the washer’s special ability to wash the clothes. They will be very pleased with you and will give you a Jiggy.
Packing Room Jiggy: Look in the Packing Room on the 4th floor. A Jiggy is hiding behind some boxes. Use your destruction powers to smash them and claim the Jiggy.

Finding All Jinjos in Grunty Industries

You have to search for the train station location and use Banjo’s Pack Whack to stretch to that Jinjo in that corner.

Floor 1: Look around the train station area and use Banjo’s Pack Whack to reach the Jinjo hidden in a corner.
Floor 2: There is another Jinjo in the workers’ quarters. Obtain a view of the location by looking closely in that room.
Floor 3: You are now at the Waste Disposal Plant, near the toxic area where you have to search for that Jinjo around.
Floor 4: Another Jinjo is located in the boiler room, and you have to find a secluded location in that corner.
Floor 5: Use Banjo’s abilities in the Quality Control room to get to the Jinjo on the high platform.

Dealing with Enemies and Hazards

Grunty Industries is quite dirty, and there are hostile robots, crushers, and conveyor belts around. Here’s some info on the most common enemies and hazards, and how to handle them:

Poisonous Pools and Waste Areas: these tiles will drain Banjo’s health in an instant. Use the Snooze Pack on your character to restore health, and take care when moving lest too much health drip.

Conveyor Belts: Walk with caution over conveyor belts that may lead you to parts of the room that you don’t want to be in, or squash hazards between them when you are not paying attention. Walk fast but calculate precisely for exit points.
