Balta then takes the Kanohi Calix ( the Mask of Fate ) out of a storage unit and puts it on Jaller ' s face telling him to defeat the villians and to recover the Ignika . The camera then zooms out to show an overview of the island while at the same time showing the rest of the Toa Inika ( Jaller ' s team ) walking towards Jaller . Gameplay . The Game . It features each of the Toa Inika , and they carry one of three different weapons : the tool of the elementally corresponding Toa Mata , the tool of the corresponding Toa Metru , and finally their own tool featured in their set .

The player fights many enemies spanning all over the BIONICLE world , from Rahkshi to Visorak , as well as some familiar mini - bosses , like Sidorak and Roodaka . The player can unlock different abilities that help them unlock bonus canisters , and once a Piraka is defeated , they can be played as in their zone . However when you defeat Vezon , you cannot play as any of the other Piraka , but Vezon still has all the Piraka ' s abilities . The Toa . Each Toa had thier own unique skill set and abilites . They also had a vey expensive special ability that had to be bought from the matoran enclave . Enemies . Bohrok . The Bohrok are a common enemy in the game .

Bohrok emit a force field while rolling , making them invulnerable . Visorak . The Visorak are a common enemy in the game . They are distance specialists , but can preform long - distance jumps to bite the player . They also appear without warning , dropping from above on their spider webs . Vahki .
