The Voya Nui Online Game, informally called VNOG or VNOLG, was a turn-by-turn role-playing game produced by Ankama Games featuring the Toa Inika, Piraka, Matoran Resistance, and various Rahi.

While the story told in the game is non-canonical, there are several aspects of the game, such as Voya Nui's geography or Rahi, which are canonical.[1]

Plot

The player arrives on an island called Voya Nui and meets Garan, who speaks about the island, Piraka, and Kanohi Ignika. He also says that the Piraka are enslaving the Matoran with Antidermis and that the player needs to free the Matoran, defeat the Piraka, retrieve the Mask of Life, and bring peace back to Voya Nui. Garan then gives the player various quests, ranging from eradicating Rahi to draining a lake of lava. The player then proceeds to the underground chambers. There, the player must defeat all six Piraka along with Vezon, who is riding Fenrakk. After the player defeats Vezon and his mount, they obtain the Ignika and the game subsequently ends with a preview of Mahri Nui.

Summary

Players control one of the six Toa Inika as they venture around the island fighting the Piraka and assisting the Matoran resistance. Players eventually go underneath the island to fight the Piraka and try to obtain the Mask of Life, otherwise known as the Ignika from the depths of the island. Players also try to solve some mysteries that are brought up, and hinder the Piraka by performing tasks such as destroying vats of Antidermis and defeating the Piraka.

Chapter 0/Introduction: Entry of the Lagoon

Here in this chapter, a Toa washes up on the shore of Voya Nui. They meet a Matoran by the name of Garan, who tells the Toa to go and kill some Rahi called Ice Gafna and bring some ice metal. They do so and bring the metal to Garan, who tells them they have to go and slay a Burnak who stole his tools, before the Matoran can make anything. The Toa does so, and they are rewarded with a Kanohi Mask of Power. Garan then asks the Toa to retrieve some metal pieces for him, and following the completion of this task, he asks the Toa to escort him to an island where they can continue. While the Toa is escorting Garan, they find a Blocking Lava Ape guarding the entrance to a log that is acting as a bridge across a small body of water. Once the Toa distracts the Blocking Lava Ape, the Toa and Garan continue on their way across to the hidden island.

Chapter 1: The Matoran Village

Chapter 1: The Matoran Village

After the Toa escorts Garan to a hidden island, the Matoran instructs him/her to go and retrieve three stones from the nearby village. The Toa goes there, and is attacked by a Nektann Guardian. Following this, they retrieve the stones and take them back to Garan, who heard the Nektann alarms and is worried that the Piraka may return to check up. He tells the Toa to go check to see if there are any Nektann after the alarm, and when the Toa reaches the village, they find two Guardians and a Defense Nektann. The Toa dispatches them, and returns to Garan with the results of their search.

Upon hearing that the Guardian was destroyed, Garan asks to Toa to escort him to a Wasteland near the Village to hide. When the Toa and Garan reach the spot, Garan finds out that the Piraka showed up while they were gone, and left some more Nektann. The Toa defeats them all and goes back to Garan, but the two are then attacked by Reidak, who is accompanied by a few Nektann. The Toa defeats the Piraka and the Nektann, and Garan tells them that Reidak will probably tell the other Piraka the Toa is on Voya Nui.

Chapter 2: The Coasts of Voya Nui

Chapter 2: The Coasts of Voya Nui

Following the victory against Reidak, the Toa and Garan converse, and Garan instructs the Toa to investigate some Burnak colonies and destroy the Burnak. The Toa goes and kills the Burnak in the colonies, and after that, they go and report to Garan, who reveals the existence of a Matoran stronghold, and instructs the Toa to go there and make sure everything is still unharmed there, and to talk to the Resistance leader. When the Toa reaches the stronghold and talks to Balta, he divulges that they wish to capture one of the Piraka. He tells the Toa that there is a Gafna infestation where they were planning on trapping Thok, and tells the Toa to go back to Garan and tell him what he said, and he also gives the Toa a weapon to defeat the Gafna.

When the Toa gets back to Garan he says that the weapon can be upgraded, and tells the Toa to retrieve his tool-kit. After the Toa retrieves the tool-kit and brings it back, Garan upgrades the Toa's weapon, but he says that the Toa should have more armor, and tells the Toa to talk to Velika. He tells the Toa to go get five Water Burnak metal pieces and five Water Gafna metal pieces, and bring them back. Once the Toa does so, Velika gives the Toa some armor and a key to a storage box in the Launcher Store, and tell them they might find some more armor in there.

Subsequent to the Toa going to the Launcher Store and looking in the chest, they go back to Velika, who asks the Toa to retrieve his equipment from the village Garan is in. After the Toa returns there, finds the equipment and goes back to the stronghold, Velika tells the Toa to return to Garan while waiting for the Locating Stone to be repaired. When the Toa talks to Garan, he says that they should spend the time by helping to clear out the Rock Ussal in front of the fortress. Upon the Toa defeating all the Rock Ussal, they report back to Garan, who tells the Toa that Thok has been located by the Matoran. The Toa then travels to the Ice Ring and attacks Thok, defeating him and forcing the Piraka into retreat. Following this, the Toa goes to the Matoran Fortress to talk with Balta, who says that the Toa should talk with Garan next.

Chapter 3: The Caves of Voya Nui

Chapter 3: The Caves of Voya Nui

Garan orders the Toa to search the Voya Nui Caves to try to find a way through. They defeat a Nektann garrison outside the entrance, but are forced to turn back when the Lightstones in the caves are revealed to be burnt out. After finding food for Piruk's pet Burnak, on his request, the Toa retrieves a Lightstone and enters the caves, demolishing a Nektann garrison, discovering a Matoran slave. They leave and later return with a Zamor Launcher, releasing the slave. Next, the Toa escorts the Matoran back to the Matoran Stronghold. Subsequent to talking to Garan, the Toa speaks to Piruk and retrieves an invisibility stone from several Stone Burnak. Once they receive metal-eating insects to destroy a drill to delay the Piraka, the Toa talks with Garan. The Toa returns and destroys another set of Nektann, obtaining the keys necessary to reach a teleportation gate. The Toa then finds Thok and Reidak there; after beating them, they return to Garan.

Chapter 4: The Voya Nui Desert

Chapter 4: The Voya Nui Desert

Garan wishes to journey to his hideout on the coast of Voya Nui. Once the Toa takes him through the Nui Caves and finds the location, they are given a weapon, and asked to try it out against the Stone Rahi nearby. Afterwards, Garan asks the Toa to get rid of the nearby Fikou and Ussal, fearing they might be spies for the Piraka in some way. Requiring Protodermis, Garan sends the Toa to find Kazi, in order to retrieve some. Kazi and the Toa fill a container with Protodermis and both deliver it to Garan.

Garan then suggests next that the Toa scope out the black rocks area and locate the Piraka Stronghold, but not attempt any fighting, as the Toa is not strong enough to take on all the Piraka or the Stronghold. Upon going there, the Toa finds an enslaved Matoran in an enclave. Upon the Toa reporting back to Garan, Garan theorizes that the Piraka are using enslaved Matoran to supply their base with Protodermis, stored in a warehouse. Garan tells the Toa to seek out Piruk, who can help them find the warehouse; if the warehouse could be destroyed, then the Piraka's plans could be set back. Talking to Piruk, the Toa gets Destruction Crystals, which can destroy the storage warehouse. After destroying the warehouse, the Toa returns to Garan. Garan tells the Toa that Zaktan has been seen prowling around the Protodermis Lake. Returning to the lake, the Toa defeats Zaktan, and seeks Garan out.

Chapter 5: The Black Rocks

Chapter 5: The Black Rocks

Upon returning to Garan, the group targets the Black Rocks area next. The Toa is first assigned to annihilate four flocks of Hikaki, which have infested the area since the Piraka arrived. Following this, Garan instructs the Toa to speak to Velika to obtain tools to dig through rock. After finding ten pieces of Fikou Metal for Velika, Velika makes the tools for the Toa. Subsequently, the Toa speaks to Garan, who directs them to find the location of three Matoran slaves, and free them; Upon doing so they show them where they each hid a tool for the Piraka, when they were under the influence of Antidermis. Digging through the ground, the Toa uses the tools Velika made them, and recovers the Piraka's items. Following the rescue of each Matoran, the Toa escorts them to Garan's Hideout. Once the Toa finishes the quest, Garan identifies the parts as a weapon. Garan asks the Toa to travel to a small cave and defeat three Ussal Crabs to obtain their shells. He warns the Toa to be cautious though, as these Ussal Crabs are more powerful than the others that the Toa has previously faced.

Upon returning to Garan, the Toa is given the weapon, a Ripper. Next, Garan asks the player to go and steal supplies from a warehouse that Zaktan has, in an effort to undermine the Piraka's team camaraderie. The Toa is sent to find a Matoran who knows three different entrances to the warehouse, and check out the different entrances. After exploring the warehouse/caves, the Toa reports back to Garan, to find that the Matoran Fortress is under attack. The Toa goes to the aid of the inhabitants. After destroying the Nektann invasion, the Toa speaks to Kazi, who presents the Toa with a Water Talon, as a gift of thanks.

Chapter 6: The Piraka's Virus Factory

Chapter 6: The Piraka's Virus Factory

Reporting back to Garan on the status of the Matoran Fortress, Garan tells the Toa it is time to strike the Piraka Stronghold. The Toa is instructed to find the Stronghold and defeat all the enemies guarding the entrance. After eliminating the guards, a special breed of Burnak, Stronghold Guards, the Toa returns to Garan. Subsequent to telling Garan that the front entrance was locked, the Toa searches for another way to enter the Stronghold. Upon inspection, the Toa finds a pipe that leads into the fortress. When the Toa informs Garan of this, Garan hypothesizes that Piruk's pet Burnak could fit in that pipe, and sends the Toa to ask Piruk if they could borrow him.

When the Toa speaks to Piruk, they find that the food they brought to the Burnak earlier caused it to become sick. Piruk says that there is no need to apologize and asks the Toa to find a Lifestone and an energy crystal. The Lifestone can be found among Fire Gafna, in the Black Rocks, and the Energy Crystal can be found with a Lava Ape at the Cape of No Hope. After the Toa deliver the rocks, Piruk tells the Toa that his Burnak has gone missing. He points out a likely location on the Toa's map, and suggests that they look under all the rocks. Consequent to the Toa finding and healing the Burnak, Piruk lends them his Burnak, and the two seek out Garan. Garan tells the Toa to continue their quest, and use the Burnak to open the main door, warning that more Nektann must be on their way. After putting the Burnak into the pipe opening in the Stronghold, the player takes control of the Burnak. Once the door is opened, and the Toa enters the Stronghold, they have a new mission: to find and defeat Avak. Going to the control room, the Toa defeats Avak, and then heads to the Launcher Storeroom, where they defeat Zaktan, along with some Nektann.

Chapter 7: The Chamber of Truth

Chapter 7: The Chamber of Truth

When the Toa returns to Garan, they are informed of the capture of a freed Matoran at the hands of Reidak, and that Vezok is interrogating him. Garan tells the Toa to go to the Teleportation Platform, and use it to teleport to the Chamber of Truth, in hopes that it might work. Finding it broken, the Toa seeks out Balta, who tells them what supplies he needs to repair the teleporter, some fire metal from certain Fire Gafna/Burnak, located at a spot on the map, and an energy stone, which Balta buried long ago. He points out on the map where he believes the stone to be. After the gate is repaired, the Toa passes through, but finds the gate, and backdoor, to the Chamber of Truth, locked. The Toa reports back to Garan, who refers them again to Balta. Balta tells the Toa that before they came, the Matoran attempted to enter the Chamber of Truth, but did not succeed; they did however find a key to the backdoor, and buried it in the jungle in the Cape of No Hope.

Following their recovery of the key, the Toa rescues the Matoran and escorts him to Garan's Hideout. After doing so, the Toa is alerted that Reidak and Vezok have formed an alliance, and that Reidak is scouring the island for other Matoran to interrogate. To stop him, the Toa destroys battalions of Nektann to draw out Reidak. Unfortunately, the Toa is captured by Reidak and is taken to Vezok for interrogation, during which, the Toa manages to get Vezok to distrust all the Piraka. Following the interrogation, the Toa is jailed, but manages to break out with the aid of Piruk's Burnak. They attack and defeat Reidak and Vezok, before escaping the Chamber.

Chapter 8: The Lava Lake and the Chamber of the Mask of Life

Chapter 8: The Lava Lake and the Chamber of the Mask of Life

The Toa returns to Garan, who assigns the Toa to spy on the Piraka in the Black Rocks region of Voya Nui. Observing from High Rock and the Dam Station, the Toa discovers that the Piraka are making the Matoran drain the Lake of Lava, in order to attain the Mask of Life. They go to Dalu to find out more, and is sent to rendezvous with a spy in the Matoran Stronghold. The spy tells them the Piraka's plan, and the Toa returns to Dalu and informs her of their findings. The Toa returns with some a set of Gafna-fire armor and escorts the spy to a sanctuary in the Cape of No Hope. The Toa returns and attempts to break into the dam station using Piruk's Burnak, but fails, unable to find an opening. After opening it, they return, but the Burnak is wounded; using stolen supplies from a Nektann convoy on the ice ring, they heal the Burnak again and succeed. Hakann ambushes the Toa, but is beaten and retreats. The Lake has been drained by this time, and the Toa travels across the island to get the keys for the Chamber of Life. Once they breaks in, they encounter the Piraka (minus Zaktan) and defeat each of them. The Toa presses further and is attacked by Vezon and Fenrakk. They win and claim the Mask of Life. They travel further into the chamber, finding and defeating Zaktan. Victorious, they return to Garan, who congratulates them.

The ninth and final chapter has no plot, and serves only as a means for the player to continue battling, collecting items, and improving their stats.

Can also reduce the player’s attack and movement points. Difficult to hit. Defeating him awards 2000 experience points and the Mask of Life. The best way to defeat Vezon is by using two Launchers to move him backwards so that he cannot attack, being out of range.

Cheat Codes

Included in the game was the capability of accessing a control panel through which various cheat codes can be activated. These cheat codes could be used to acquire items not normally available in the game, or to jump around within the game.

To activate the control panel, the player had to press and hold the Ctrl key and '(apostrophe) (on German keyboards: STRG + Ä) at the same time, releasing apostrophe first then releasing Ctrl. Then the player would have to click next to the arrow at the bottom of the window that appears and type in "core". From there, they could type in any one of the following codes:

  • chapter (Number from 0-9 here) - Jump to the specified chapter.

  • onemorenight - When this cheat code is activated, it allegedly adds a new level to the game, but it in fact does nothing.

Trivia

  • The Voya Nui Online Game was supposed to be released at the end of the year 2005,[citation needed] but was released on 20 September 2006, almost one year later.[2] On 9 February 2009, it was removed from the LEGO website entirely.[3]
  • In version 1.0.0, the Kanohi Ignika used a different sprite in the inventory. The Ignika's appearance was later replaced with the current image in version 1.0.2, while the original sprite was reused for the Mask of Vision.[4]
  • The game contains unused sprites and graphics, including a Matoran that combines traits of Garan and Balta; an Ash Hoto enemy; and a prototype of Toa Inika Hahli.[4]
  • The game showed a first official sneak preview at 2007, with its final cutscene including promotional Mahri Nui artwork.
  • The game's script contains several typos and errors. For example, Dalu is sometimes misinterpreted as a male; Kazi is sometimes misinterpreted as a female; the game often states individuals (e.g. Thok) as "a" something (e.g. "a Thok") or incorrectly uses "a" instead of "an" (e.g. "a Ice Gafna"); and the elements of Stone and Earth have been confused with each other (e.g. Hewkii's Attack is "Special Toa of Earth", and the Rahi names have likewise been affected as well).
  • In Chapter 5, after the Toa defeats the four Hikaki flocks, the tasks menu refers to them as Husis.
