Before going to hunters domain kya finds a rune before the entrance to the hunters domain, but before she can go to the hunters domain kya has to fight a giant fire wormlike creature The flying forest is the most scenic world of Kya: Dark Lineage
In the flying forest there is one rare animal, a red sinoc monster that kya can capture and give to the nativ city zoo. The flying forest has 4 shell elevators.

There are flying uncharted islands in Kya: Dark Lineage that fly in the sky, kya cannot go to the uncharted islands but she can see them.
Fighting style
Kya has a few but unique fighting styles. The first style of fighting is Kya’s Boomy. Kya can use her Boomy (which is like a boomerang) to attack monsters, cut ropes, hit switches and levers and annoy and confuse Wolfen into thinking another wolfen attacked it which turns it into a wolfen against wolfen fight.
The second style of fighting Kya can use is fist fighting, which is given to her by magical bracelets that allow her to learn new moves and become a stronger opponent. Kya can fight Wolfen only by fist fighting. Kya can go from a punch to a double Salto kick.
The third style is simple. Kya can buy and find electric bombs that shoot out electricity for a few seconds.
Boomies are boomerang-like weapons which Kya can throw with various results.
There are three different boomies in the game.
Basic Boomy: Is yellow and is used to cut cords, as well as destroy objects and certain enemies.
Silver Boomy: Is silver blue color and can do anything the basic boomy can do, with the addition that Kya can use it to aim precicely from first person view at objects and enemies.
Golden Boomy: Is a golden colored boomy and can do anything that the basic boomy and the silver boomy can do, with the addition that Kya can control where it goes.
Fighting bracelets give Kya new fighting abilities. There are 8 different fighting bracelets, with new ones appearing in shops as the game progresses and each one becoming more expensive than the last. The game features a white, yellow, green, blue, brown, black, silver, and gold bracelet, in appearing order.
Fruit
There are three different kinds of fruit with three different abilities.
There are two kinds of magic boards. The first allows Kya to jump over objects in the way on a slope, whilst the second one allows Kya to jump over them and go faster on a slope.
Runes are ancient artifacts made of pure energy. Kya needs the receptacle in order to group the runes together, which will open a passage to bring Kya back home. Collecting them also increases Kya’s magic capacity.
Nooties are a form of money which the Nativs use. Kya can use nooties to purchase new abilities and items, as well as participate in challenges in Nativ City.
Amortos are mushroom-like plants filled with air. Kya can use them to cushion her fall from a freefall. Kya can also throw her boomy at one to blast away nearby enemies.
Amber is scattered in all of the worlds in Kya: Dark Lineage. Amber stones contain mystical energy that allows Kya to completely heal herself from injuries by using mana balls. The giant amber stone in Nativ City does not require the use of Kya’s mana balls.
Shell elevators exist in all of the worlds and allow access to Nativ City and other shell elevators in the same world. They were closed by Brazul. Kya must use her magic abilities to reopen them. Once Kya has opened a shell elevator, kya can jump on one of the round stones to activate an air current which can lead her to a certain destination where she has been already. A picture of the destination and number of Wolfens in that area are shown. When Kya has selected a destination, she can jump into the elevator and is promptly brought to the destination by an air current.
Inside a gigantic tree in Nativ City are all the elevators to each world, which allow access to the opened shell elevator in the respective worlds.
Kya: Kya is a teenager from Brooklyn. Kya is a strong willed girl that nothing can stop, not inter-dimensional travel, threat of world destruction, hundreds of powerful enemies. What doesn't kill Kya definitely makes her stronger. Kya has found the hero within, she combines her new strength to right what has gone wrong. Kya is the heroine of Kya: Dark Lineage. Kya first appears in the beginning where she is sleeping at a desk, and hears something. She then sees her brother Frank. Frank touches a medallion and Kya and Frank get transported to the new universe where the story begins.
Brazul/Alan: Brazul is the ruler of the parallel universe and the creator of the evil wolfens. He possesses terrifying magical powers and knowledge. He is also Kya's father and the reason why Kya is in the parallel world.
Atea
Atea: Atea is the chief nativ. He helps Kya on her missions and gives her constant guidance. Kya first meets Atea when Aton brings her to Nativ City. Atea tells Kya that she came from another universe and that Brazul is turning the nativs into wolfen.
An original picture of Kya from the makers of KDL.
The game was originally to have a sequel, but due to the poor ratings, the idea was scraped.
--all below are found in the game---
Kya is the only female in the entire game, excluding some of the monsters you fight.
Because there are no females in the game (besides Kya), it is unknown how Nativs reproduce (if possible), unless the female nativs are hidden or are in an alternate town.
In nativ city there are only two nativs that walk around on each floor, besides the main character nativs and nativs in shops or the nativs that are building shops.
Kya has to free 260 wolfen.
There are 260 wolfen that Kya can turn back into wolfen and yet you only meet around 20 or less nativs in nativ city, in the entire game.
Kya dark lineage has two endings one ending can be obtained when Kya rescues all of the nativs and the other is when Kya does not rescue all of the nativs. The counter seems to be glitch-prone, however, as there are instances where the "260" ending has been shown while there are still wolfen left--and vice-versa. The proper "ending" with less than 260 is merely a black screen with white text asking "THE END?", while the "260" ending is a cliffhanger taking place in a rather desolate, grey place populated by at least one creature of a seemingly hostile and/or predatory nature.
In the anime Naruto, the character called Tenten is a weapons expert. In episode 43, Tenten takes out a scroll full of weapons and shoots an array of different weapons at an enemy. Two of the weapons resemble Kya's boomy, except they were both metal and one did not have a handle.
Reception
Kya: Dark Lineage recieved mixed reviews from professional game critics, scoring an average of 73%[1]. While well recieved by some (including Gamespot and PSM Magazine) it was critically panned by several major publications, including Electronic Gaming Monthly and the Official Playstation Magazine.
Common complaints include the game's spotty camera and imprecise controls[2][3], while other reviews cited the game's poor script and entry into an oversaturated market as reasons for disliking the game[4].
