Gorky 17 Cheat Codes: ------------ Press [Shift] + [F10] during game play then type "give me all". You will get everything, including invincibility. Hint on the Invisible Creatures: -------------------------------- Email: rhin0@yahoo.com Submitted by: Rhin0 Near the end of the game you will fight a group of invisible creatures. Here is an easy way to find their locations: when your turn comes, see where each of your characters can move. If there is a spot in your character's move area that is not marked (with green), that is where you'll find a creature*. Now simply fire at that spot. Note: Sometimes you'll see a blank spot somewhere even if there is no creature there (it happened to me). I think you can avoid this by verifying that spot with two play. Hint on beating Messiah: ------------------------ Email: rhin0@yahoo.com Submitted by: Rhin0 Here's a hint on beating that elusive Messiah: Get at least one of your men in a position diagonal with the position of Messiah (right aside it). When your turn comes, move that man one square so it will stand directly in front of Messiah. Fire (it will be hurt this way) and then retreat to your former position. Repeat as many times as necessary. Win Every Fight: ---------------- Submitted by: rickHH Start the game with the command-line parameter -760722. Press [Q] during the fight to win. (for example "C:Gorky17Gorky.exe -760722") Battle Tips: ------------ * Save often, after each fight. * Barrels can be your best friends, introduce them to your enemies. * When you get ammo, disperse it evenly amongst Sullivan, Ovitz, and Trantigine. If there is any left over, give it to other teammates you may have. Do the same for medical supplies. * Melee weapons are not to be neglected! If you pump your axe skill up to level 9 or 10, it becomes as powerful al the rifle! Don't waste ammo finishing off a baddie that had 7 HP left, smack it with a bat or something. * Make sure each person has a good variety of weapons, don't get stuck with a weapon that's in the process of recharging and your only other option is a crowbar. Keep a spare rifle or shotgun handy. * Keep your characters healthy, use your meds right, and you'll have over 90% of health with stuff to spare the whole game. * Once you find out that an enemy is immune to a certain type of attack, remember that! Don't try to shoot a Jet-Elmer with an ion cannon when you could be healing yourself on account of you having 29 HP left. Hints: ------ * Ammunition is a scarce resource in Odium. Never use an ammunition- consuming weapon, such as an Uzi, when a non-ammunition-consuming weapon, such as an axe or a flamethrower, will do the job. * Joan McFadden is a doctor. Accordingly, she receives a 15 percent bonus when healing other party members. Always use her to buff up your party between battles. * Concentrate on the most dangerous enemy first. It's normally not wise to spread the party's attacks over several different enemies. Use every person and weapon at your disposal to eliminate the most dangerous enemy first, then move on the second most dangerous, and so on. * Save often. You never know when you'll take a wrong turn into an unwinnable battle. It's nice to be able to fall back on a recently saved game and then take a different route.
