[2.2] Game modes [2.3] Weapon guide *UPDATE* [2.4] Enemy data *UPDATE* [2.5] Item info [2.6] Tips & tricks *BIG UPDATE* [3] Walkthrough *GIGA UPDATE* [4] Cheats [5] Miscellaneous stuff *GIGA UPDATE* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Introduction NOTE: This IS NOT a final version of the faq. It's a snapshot of my works, submitted because it's getting really uber and I have little time to work on it nowadays. Just a way to show that the faq is alive and well ;). And why such a fast update? It's thanks to the feedback I've recieved - I was surprised nicely and decided to work on it a little bit more. As for progress, the "Basics" section is done, Walkthru is finished until Temple of Vendora and in Misc, there's an unfinished Songs section and complete list of translator messages - that took VERY long to complete :whew:. Well, hello to my UnreaL guide. This is my first game guide - I've chosen UnreaL because I think something should be added to those few FAQs that are already there and UnreaL is my favourite game for 4 years already. Anyways, if you spot a mistake, know some tricks or just want ask some questions, just mail me. And please don't ask about anything that's already in here, okay? Finally, please at least notify me if you want to post it on your website. Now that's all clear - here we go! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2] Basics These are basics. No comment on what's 'basic' :P. [2.1] What is UnreaL? UnreaL is an excellent action game by Epic. It's a FPS (First Person Shooter) with breathtaking graphics (Unreal's engine - AFAIR it's called Fire - is *still* one of the best game engines ever made), great ambient/trance music and astounding playability. This game was first one with official bots for training and people without access to net. Also, even now Unreal's AI is great, enemies can dodge your fire or run to get some help and much more. This made the game even tougher :). In game, you're a prisoner who crashed in a prison transport on an unkown planet... Will you ever escape from there? [2.2] Game modes There are 6 game modes in UnreaL: Single player: *Unreal - well, it's a normal "story" mode. Multiplayer/botmatch: *Deathmatch - again, self-explanatory: a free-for-all, most kills win. *Team deathmatch - same as above, players are in max. 4 teams *Darkmatch - unique game mode, there is only one map for it, battle takes place in total darkness and all players have a searchlight. *King of the hill - one player is a king and constantly gains points. Player who kills him becomes the king himself. Most points win. *Coop game - Multiplayer story mode, also available for botmatch but no bots can be played :(. [2.3] Weapon guide In UnreaL, you have a choice of 10 wepons to kill uglies. Here they are: (1) Name: Dispersion pistol Description: Looks like a car vacuum ^_^. Shoots energy projectiles, can be charged up by holding alternate fire (max 5 times normal charge). Also improved by Dispersion Powerups - up to 4. First location: Vortex Rikers Ammo capacity: 50 - 90 Ammo type: N/A Comment: A solid weapon. May not look like much at first, but after some powerups this kicks ass! When amplified+charged easily kills a Titan. Even more, it recharges itself, so just find a safe place and wait. Rankin's rating: 7+/10 at final stage (2) Name: Automag Description: A standard pistol. Alternate fire shoots faster but is less accurate. After 20 shots must change clips. First location: NyLeve falls Ammo capacity: 200 Ammo type: bullets (20/50) Comment: Your basic gun. I wish you could shoot with two of them like in UT :(. Good against Skaarj because they can't dodge it. Rankin's rating: 4/10 (3) Name: Stinger Description: Fast firing weapon, shoots a stream of Tarydium. Alternate fire acts as a shotgun but isn't too useful, well maybe except for my anti-Slith combo "stream + alt finish-off" :). First location: Rrajigar mine (Nali opens a 'locker') Ammo capacity: 200 Ammo type: Tarydium shards (50) Comment: A good weapon until it's replaced by Minigun. Don't waste it on Skaarj unless they're really close or they'll just dodge it. Works well against Brutes and Sliths. Rankin's rating: 6/10 (4) Name: ASMD Description: A flat thingie ^_^. Shoots fast beams of energy or slow balls. This gun has a special combo (described later on). First location: Depths of Rrajigar (secret!) Ammo capacity: 50 Ammo type: ASMD cores (10) Comment: A great all-around weapon. Very good against those nasty bugs and Skaarj. Combo consumes more energy but it's well worth it. Rankin's rating: 8/10 (5) Name: Eightball cannon Description: An six-barrelled rocket launcher :O. Standard mode shoots up to six rockets, if you hold the crosshair on enemy for a while, they'll be homing. Alternate fire shoots up to six grenades that are a bit more powerful but like to bounce back to player (very nasty!). First location: Temple of Chizra Ammo capacity: 48 Ammo type: Eightballs (12) Comment: This is one big mutha. A Titan-slayer, works very well against them not to mention that few enemies will survive 6 homing rockets ;). Grenades come in handy from time to time, for example in your first encounter with Titans. Rankin's rating: 8/10 (6) Name: Flak cannon Description: Fliegabwehrakannonen (anti-aicraft gun >_>)? A powerful weapon either shooting tons of metal shrapnels that shred to pieces anything that'll get in their way or a single grenade exploding with a shower of metal death :droolz:. First location: Harobed village Ammo capacity: 50 Ammo type: Flak shells (20) Comment: IMO the best weapon in game - use first mode up close or lob grenades like crazy ^_^. The devastator and destroyer in one. BTW, in UT this grenade has a face drawn on it :D. Rankin's rating: 10/10 (7) Name: RazorJack Description: A Skaarj weapon shooting nasty blades that can cut off enemy's head. Careful though, because these blades bounce off walls and can easily return to their origin. Alternate fire shoots player controlled blades, but effect is so small that it's practically unnoticeable unless you're in big, opened area. First location: ISV Kraan deck 4. Ammo capacity: 70 Ammo type: Razor blades (55) Comment: WTF? This weapon sucks. Head shot is difficult to acheive (and some enemies, like Brutes are immune to this) and blades return to player very often. Not recommended unless you're very low on ammo. At least it shoots rapidly. For advanced sharpshooters. Rankin's rating: 2/10 (8) Name: BioRifle Decription: Commonly known as the "blobber". Shoots green balls of Tarydium waste that stick to walls and explode after a while. Alternate mode allows charging for even bigger blob. First location: Terraniux Ammo capacity: 80 Ammo type: Tarydium sludge (50 kg) Comment: Better than RazorJack and useful for trapping areas. Not too bad if shot continuosly either. A good idea for recycling. Rankin's rating: 5/10 (9) Name: Rifle Description: A sniper rifle that can headshot enemies. Alternate mode offers a smooth zoom for better accuracy at long ranges! First location: Gateway to Na Pali Ammo capacity: 40 Ammo type: Rifle rounds (8) Comment: Great for long ranges. Zoom in and watch the suprised beheaded Skaarj - very cool animation ;D. Even Skaarj pupae can die this way. Only downsides of this gun are it's slow firing ratio and immunity of some enemies. Rankin's rating: 9/10 (0) Name: Minigun Description: Doesn't look like a minigun, but works like one. Alternate mode shoots even faster. First location: Sunspire Ammo capacity: 200 Ammo type: Same as Automag's Description: An ultimate ammo waster. Eats bullets like popcorn. Good against high-HP enemies. And uses the same ammo supply as Automag. Rankin's rating: 7/10 [2.4] Enemy data I've sorted the enemies into classes and subclasses, and I've rated their level of threat from 1 star (easy) to 5 stars (RUN!) Class: Animals Not necessary indigenous. Subclass: Fishes * Fishes - they're those tiny little groups of fishes that can't be hit and damage you on higher difficulty levels. * Biterfish - a small eel, not very dangerous. * * Slaughterfish - a bigger version of above, still not much of a threat. * Subclass: Flying * Fly - very nasty 'chopper'. Is very annoying because of it's hit'n run attacks. I recommend an ASMD beam readied when you hear the dreaded buzz. ** * Sting-tail - sorry, can't remember it's name ^_^'. Basically same as above except it's more stealthy and less lethal. ** Subclass: Other * Tentacle - these are common in caverns, shooting spikes from distance and using tentacles up close. Just dodge and use Dispersion Pistol. * * Amoeba - I'm not quite sure if it's an animal, but what else? If you have the Kevlar or Toxin suit it won't hurt you. Explosives are good against them as well as DP. * (*** with no protection) * Gasbag - a ball with two arms and spitting fireballs... Not too much, falls easily to 5 homing rockets, but beware of it's dodge. ** Class: Beasts Other name: bosses. Use your best stuff against them. *Titan: the giant dinosaur-like monster. Throws stones, causes earthquakes, hits with claws. Fear it, 'cause you usually won't be able to run. **** *Stone Titan: a titan with stone armor. There are two of them in game, second encounter even worse than first. ***** + * *Giant Gasbag: greater ball with arms and spitting fireballs. Again not very tough, few Flak grenades will do, but it spawns another gasbags. *** *Warlord: it's like a smarter Titan with wings and a rocket launcher. Luckily it doesn't throw stones. **** *Skaarj Queen: The Final Boss (Big Bad ;)). She teleports, fires bullets, hits with claws... Nasty. ***** Class: Humanoids Not very human though... Subclass: Engineered *Brutes: Skaarj's cannon fodder. Big, ugly, dumb and wielding missile launchers. Cannot be headshotted. They are: -Lesser brute ** -Brute *** -Behemoth *** + 1/2 * Subclass: Mercenaries *Mercenary: A weakling with machine gun. He can put up a shield but can't shoot then. ** *Mercenary veteran: looks tougher and can use a shieldbelt. Has a missile launcher. They are found only in Terraniux. *** Subclass: Kralls *Krall: Funny looking, whistling midget with staff shooting energy. What else you expected? ;) Careful if you blow their legs off 'cause they'll still be after you. *** *Krall Elite: Pissed off midget with stronger staff. Uh, yeah. He's tougher, too. *** Subclass: Skaarj *Skaarj Pupae: Looks like a spider, also emits those crispy sounds. More of annoyance than threat. ** *Skaarj warriors: They are big, have long tails and are deadly in melee. Seem to be almost impossible to kill on higher levels. They are: -Skaarj Scout ** -Skaarj Warrior *** -Skaarj Berserker **** -Skaarj Assasin **** -Skaarj Lord **** -Engineered Skaarj - this one appears in the Darkening. Bad dude. **** *Skaarj troopers: Shorter tails, no dodging but they can pick up weapons, making them almost-human opponents, they have shields too. Yet they aren't too tough. -Skaarj Infantry ** -Skaarj Trooper ** -Skaarj Gunner **** -Skaarj Commander *** [2.5] Item info Well, here's an item list with short description of each: ****Inventory items**** * Translator: your only means of communicating with outer world. Has a shortcut (F2) and works only with written text of any kind. * Flare: throw and watch it burning for a few seconds. Explodes when used up. * Flashlight: very limited battery supply, but you'll find lots of these. * Voice box: a diversion. Few second after throwing emits a lot of noise. More useful in battle with 'real' players. * Nali fruit seed: when used, a healing plant grows from it. Can heal 1-28 HP, depending on how long will you wait before picking up. BTW, how does it grow on metal surface? ;) * Force field: after using creates a tube of force field, absorbing damage for few seconds. Isn't too useful. You can carry only one. * SCUBA gear: a water-breathing device. Automatically turns on when you dive into water, but can be turned off. And that's how they write it. With caps. * Searchlight: an ultimate light supply, its batteries will certainly outlive you :). Too bad you get it like two levels before the end and it has strange light beam (cold blue). * Jump boots: after activation enhaces your jump height greatly and protects from some fall damage. Careful though, it uses up even if not activated and lasts for 3 jumps, even if it looks like 4. * Super Jump Boots: better version of above. Unfortunately, appears too late to be of much use :(. * Invisibility: when used, screen turns blue and you're invisivle to monsters. Careful tho, because even wind can be heard... Can be turned off like SCUBA gear. * Damage amplifier: increases power of Dispersion pistol and ASMD. Extremely useful. I use it only with ASMD because DP uses it up a lot faster for seemingly smaller increase in damage. ****Healing items**** * Bandage - 5HP * Health pack - 20HP * Healing fruit - 25-27HP if "wild" one, 1-28HP if planted * Super health pack - 100HP, up to 200HP ****Armor**** * Assault vest - 100 HP - the weakest armor, can be worn simultaneously with any other one. * Toxin suit - 50 HP - protects from wastes, replaces Kevlar and Azbestos suits * Azbestos suit - ? HP - protects from lava, I've never seen one. Replaces other suits. * Kevlar suit - 100 HP - the best armor, also protects from wastes. * Shield belt - 100 HP - energy field surrounding player and protecting from ANY damage until falls. * Power shield - 200 HP - a superior form of SB, there is only one in game, you can wear both shields at once. [2.6] Tips & tricks *Feel free to abuse the Dispersion Pistol, especially on higher difficulty levels when ammo is precious and hard to come by - don't waste ASMD on weaklings, use DP instead! *Use dodge (double-tap direction keys) often, of course when you have the space to dodge. *Destroy all the wooden crates you see, but first check if there's any use for them (like making a way to nifty items) *If the crate you are pushing appears stuck try shooting the ground very close to it with DP charged mode. *The Skaarj scouts are nasty in open areas because they can dodge most bullets, use Automag or ASMD first mode against them. On the other hand, Brutes shouldn't be fought in tight corridors because they'll shower you with rocets. And if you fight Titan in small places (this will happen at least once) watch for stones at your back - more than one player was killed by these bouncing off walls... *Take advantage of suprise. When you see an enemy and he doesn't see you, take time and load up 8balls. And DON'T try to lock-on or he'll spot you. Also, you can zoom and watch what he's doing. For example, in NaPali Haven in one of the houses you can see 3 Kralls playing a game! *Don't use ASMD-combo unless you're sure where to detonate. If not, use rockets or Flak because ASMD has low capacity and combo consumes much more energy. *When a mercenary turns his shield on, stop shooting and wait until it drops. *Save amplifiers for Beasts - Titans, Warlords and Queen. *Force field isn't too useful, is rare and you can carry only one. Why bother? And don't use it against Titans or you'll be showered with rock fragments. *DON'T kill Nali or the game will increase difficulty and next ones will more probably run away instead of opening secrets for you. Protect them if you can because they're main enemies' target. *For tentacles use Dispersion pistol combined with dodging - don't waste ammo. *Check out every pool for goodies, but on higher difficulty levels watch out for fishes - they bite hard (and I don't mean eels!). *If the swimming won't be to long, conserve SCUBA gear. They can run out at very nasty moments (like in the middle of a long underwater corridor) *Brutes, Gasbags and Beasts are immune to headshots so don't even try. *Use healing seeds as a last resort medicament. *Don't worry about searchlight's batteries - it can be on for hours... *None of enemies can withstand lava or big falls so try to throw them off with ASMD or rockets for ammo saving. *Never, ever underestimate a wounded Skaarj. He can run to make an ambush or call for help or even feign death! Also, troopers can pick up and use weapons. *In single player don't 'f'eign death, enemies will always sense a trap. *Watch out for Kraals, you can accidentally blow their legs off. They'll fall but will keep on crawling toward you and attack with their staffs. This happens a lot if you use ASMD or 8ball. *Many levels can have different approaches and you can never be sure if you were everywhere on level. *Save at beginning of every level and in a "safe" slot. Accidental overwiritng save with an intro castle happens a lot and is VERY annoying. *Shields and armors accumulate. In early levels you can have like 500 HP total, but don't feel safe: one, maybe two rocks from Titan and you eat dust. *Software info: when you un-install UnreaL make sure you remove all the shared files the unistall wizard will ask to. Don't worry, you won't remove anything related to Windows and other programs and if you leave these files, next time when you install UnreaL game will appear buggy. It's because of software version incompability (like 225f files trying to run 200 version). Dispersion Pistol powerup locations: * Rrajigar Mine, opened by Nali between dangerous bridges. * Terraniux, hub top level * Temple of Vendora, in an underwater cave * Na Pali Haven, in one of the rooms Basic fighting tactics - developed by humble myself :) Enemies are listed in order of appearance (roughly...) * Brutes - good ol' chunks o' meat. The second worst thing that can happen to you is fighting these when there's no place to dodge (first is same but with Titan ;) ). Simply go erratically there and back again :D while shooting. You can use anything against it but GES, Flak and 8ball are very good picks, especially GES since otherwise it can be pretty useless... * Tentacles - just an annoyance, dodge and DP-out it. * Eels - same as above 'cept you can shoot them out from safe ground. * Sting-tails - if you spot it early it's easy to pinpoint and waste with Automag or DP. Otherwise fall back until you have clear shot. * Skaarj warriors - aah, the Skaarj. Nasty, smart, swift, strong. Throw in your best stuff - ASMD, 8ball, Flak, M-gun when desperate - while keeping yourself at mid distance (too close and they'll shred you. Too far and you won't hit them). You can always try to headshot but in most cases they'll be too close for such tricks. * Flies - buzz. buzz. I hate them. They like to attack from where you would never except and can even push you down. I never take them lightly and fry them with ASMD as soon as I can. Luckily one beam is enough. * Slith - Skaarj cousins. They're so slow that Stinger stream is more than enough to deal with them. Underwater battle though is a different case and I suggest you to don't hold off and use 8ball. * Titans - woohoo - there are no real tactics against them - dodge even more erratically but be careful not to be smashed by rocks OR their frags. Now's the time to use this Amplifier you hid in pocket. Then fire (in order of usefulness): Flak, 8ball grenade/rocket, Minigun, (desperate) GES biorifle. If you can, hide behind a pillar to some safety while loading up grenades. * Mercenaries - really weak enemies, even Krall looks like a powerhouse when compared :P. For weaker use Stinger and when he blocks it - wait him out and shoot again. For stronger simply don't stop when his shield's on. * Skaarj troopers - because they're no good in close combat you can easily smash them from distance with Stinger, ASMD or, preferably, Rifle. For those who like it harder: try and do a headshot with Razorjack or approach and Flak-it. Just watch out for Gunners as they wield Eightballs * Gasbag - A killer. Three-step solution: a) wield 8ball b) lock-on and load at least 4 rockets c) BOOM! :watch the meat flying: * Amoeba - it's not a bother if you're protected but if you want to destroy it then explosives and DP (charged) are only things that can harm it. * Skaarj pupae - this s*** is SO annoying and hard to kill. Your best bets are Stinger, M-gun and ASMD. If you can, pick them one by one. In few places, like cellar at Na Pali you can kill them easily with GES. * Kralls - these fools aren't too tough, just remember to dodge and check if you really killed it (and not just shot legs off). Their main power lies in overwhelming numbers (Dasa Pass >:/ ) * Giant Gasbag - wonder what's so dangerous about it? Never managed to damage me seriously and was dead before I noticed. Flak simply shreds thru this balloon. * Warlord - If he'd be tossing rocks he'd be unstoppable. But hence he only fires rockets he's not such a bad encounter yet still really dangerous. Use Amplifier, 8ball, Flak alt-grenade, Minigun. Note that at Demonlord's Lair there's a bug which sometimes makes him disappear and counts as a kill (you can go on then). * Queen - for this "lady" I've got a tactic like this: go to the upper circle at the chamber, keep my eyes peeled while shooting (in order): alt-ball ASMD (amplified, ofkozz), Flak altmode, Minigun and then Eightball. When I get low on health, I pick up goodies from the platform or run and plant seeds. The worst thing about her is teleport but otherwise you *should* be okay... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [3] Walkthrough And now time for the largest part of my guide. The order will be like this: Name of level -Story of prisoner #928 Kirge 1)Sketchy directions for completing the level, along with known secrets. Now this isn't full walkthrough, just some help in the 'tricky' places, I'll leave the exploring to you folks... ...but if you're desperate here's a solution: detailed (heh :D) walkthru. UnreaL shortcuts like SB are explained in the Glossary in fifth section. Well, now that's clear, here I go! Level 1: Vortex Rikers -I awoke in my cell, the barriers were down. Everything was aching me but somehow I managed to get a grip and go out. The ship looked abandoned... And full of bodies. Ash, one of the guards, was among them. I've had to escape. 1)In first room, take the lift down (dark area) to electrocute a prisoner - James Cavanaugh (AFAIR, he's the game producer ;D) 2)When you come out of the airducts, look a little to the right. There are clips on a platform. To get there, use dodge (double-tap forward), jumping won't get you far. 3)To easy acces kevlar suit look up when aiming for button - this isn't so obvious ^_^. Make a jump-switch, stand exactly below the button and jump. 4)Watch out for live wire, starting with medium level it can deal damage. 5)There is no way you can kill the second Skaarj (the one who kills some people) because he literally disappears around the corner. 6)To open the exit, shoot the lever behind a glass. Level 2:NyLeve Falls -It was a beautiful waterfall surrounded by cliffs. Here I've encountered first enemies as well as the Nali. He didn't help me though. I've learned about the target of my voyage here - the Skaarj vessel in operation. Staying here wouldn't help me so I went farther and farther.... 1)Take the flares and go out. Look up. Now that's a sight (note to quakefans: show me anything even close to this in any of your games :>). Hmm, doesn't Rikers look bigger from the inside? Follow the... green rabbit to get a clip. 2)Near house there's an Automag. A good weapon until you get a good ammo supply for the Stinger. 3)In the nearby pond there's another clip, but watch out for fishes, they bite! 4)When you encouter two Brutes, go through the door where the other one came from for some extra equipment - down the stairs, take the fast lift, then right. Go through the large area and through the tunnel to big cavern with lots of goodies (and some tentacles). Don't dive into water, it's pointless. 5)Later on, in big storage room you can find a Super Health Pack (easy level) and Tarydium shards in crates. ...Details: First off, complete first three things from above. One of the messages will tell you what is your target in game (N. Vos' log). Go back to Rikers, jump down... No, not there - under the Rikers :P. Go up the plank (there is a Health Pack in crate) and enter the corridor there. Fight one Brute (cool encounter ;)) and then be prepared to face another one that will come out of a previously locked place. Well, now that's over, go where he came out, push the button and use the elevator (note: rarely it may bug out and lock you inside). Turn right and carefully advance forward (now it's 4), BTW). When you kill the Brute go out, then down the plank and loot the house (ammo, flashlight, new log). Go to the back of the house and enter the tunnel. Kill all the tentacles in there, go up the wooden crates, follow the plank, jump to an Assault Vest, turn around and jump twice for Tarydium. Now you can blow up all crates in room and pick up goodies (especially Tarydium shards). Now go to an another tunnel and down the lift for an Automag and new log. Now retrace your steps all the way back to the room with two Brutes. Go to the lift where first one came out and go up. If you want the Assault Vest you must activate another lift and jump when it's in its highest point. Then go up again and smash the Brute awaiting at the end of this corridor. When you go out watch out as there may be a Sting-tail out there (you will hear a characteristic "woosh" sound). Go inside the installation through a far exit (the one with stairs and dead body). Wait and kill patrolling Brutie and advance forward watching for Tentacles. Loot the area remembering to go up the crates before smashing them. If you're playing on Easy check 5) as well. In dark corner there will be a Brute ambush. After the hassle go out to the bridge killing all the Tentacles on your way, destroy all barrels and finally go through the gates to finish this level. Level 3:Rrajigar Mine -This large complex seemed to be a Tarydium Mine. Full of slaves and their guards. Here I fought with the Skaarj. They're deadly warriors but I couldn't be stopped. Not now, not because of this. 1)In first room you can go to the dark crawl for an Assult Vest and ammo. 2)In room with a forcefield, shoot tarydium barrel to open a pass to some bodies and a Health pack. 3)When you take a lift to the Forcefield Control Centre, there is a secret nook with some clips on the way. 4)Behind the large collumns in the Forcefield Control Centre there is some ammo. 5)First Nali will unlock a Stinger with some ammo for you. That is unless the Skaarj killed him. Also he'll unlock a shield belt later on. 6)Shoot the button below the floor to make a bridge go up. 7)After taking the lift beyond tentacles, there will be a shield belt waiting for you if you saved the first Nali. 8)Another one will unlock an Assault Vest. 9)In section with to bridges over lava, go by the sprawling or you'll fall down. The Nali there will unlock a Powerup for you. ...Details: Go forward to the big cavern. Kill the Brute that will go out of one of the corridors there and complete 1). On your way back jump into the transporter and pick up ammo and HP. Now turn right, enter the rocky passage, wait out the earthquake and kill the Tentacles. In next room kill the Brute (good way: shoot at him once then hide in corridor. When he comes to you, keep at close distance while shooting). Now do 2) and return to the first cavern. Turn right and go on. At the lift do 3) but it may be a bit tough. Follow the way killing yet another Tentacle, picking up Automag, killing the Brute, smashing crates (a SB and HP) and finally arriving to Forcefield Control Centre. Do 4) and push the buttons. Go back until you'll be locked in darkness. Throw some flares and wait for Skaarj appearing either at front or back (so it's wise to wait in the middle of corridor). When you'll kill him, check the nooks and pick up some flares. Continue your trip to the lift (one Brute on the way) and onward through the cavern (another Brutie) to previously locked passage to the left. Go in there, pick up Tarydium and go down. Then quickly jump on the lift which you just used and jump back so the lift will go up, revealing clips hidden under it. Turn around and advance carefully. Around the corner there will be a Tentacle and around next one - Brute and another Tentacle... Life sucks. When you finish the peace negotiations (lead-based :P) go SLOWLY forward and as soon as the earthquake hits again run back until it calms down. Now go forward again, turn left and destroy the crates for ammo (if you shoot at the barrel it'll explode). Now go forward carefully as there will be yet another earthquake and another part of platform will fall to lava. Ignore Nali to the right and go left. Behind one of the pillars there will be a Voice Box which is utterly useless in this game. A bit farther you will fight another Skaarj. When you kill him, return to the Nali and follow him until he reveals a Stinger and 80 Tarydium Shards (you should have 200 already, BTW). Now explore around, smashing all the crates and picking up their contents. When you're finished, go to the chasm where you fought the Skaarj and shoot the button ( 6) ). In the big cave a bit farther go forward until you see a Skaarj jumping down. Destroy Tarydium barrels when he lands - if it doesn't kill him it'll at least weaken him and open passage for you. Once in the Operations Room kill all the baddies inside and push the lever. Then push all the arrow-shaped buttons on pillar and turn around for A Skaarj Behind A Door treat. Enjoy. Go through any of the doors, kill Tentacles and go up. If the Nali you saved was alive (and he should be if you did what I wrote), check out 7). Now turn left, don't pickup Stinger if you have over 160 bullets (or you'd waste ammo) and prepare to face another Skaarj somewhere behind this large pillar. Now look up - somewhere you should see a Tentacle, maybe attacking you - kill it and if you don't see it, don't worry - you'll face it later. Follow the only way, enter the next room and kill Tentacle. From safe distance blow up passage by shooting at the Tarydium barrel. Next room and next Skaarj. Welcome him warmly and advance. When you'll see a red lever, look right and destroy the crate on ground and another small one on lift (look up). Now jump behind large metal crates for a flare. Next, approach the lever and turn around for there's a Tentacle up there that needs to be calmed down and maybe a Brute's near too, so prepare for a firefight. When fire's extenguished push the lever and take a lift up. Automag. Go where the Tentacle was and "search" the crates for Tarydium Shards. From there go right and kill Brute then go on. Soon you'll meet a Nali Priest but ignore him again, instead running forward and killing Skaarj glaring at a control panel. Now return to Nali and he'll open an Assault Vest near the carts. In the opposite corner of this room you'll find some Tarydium. Enter the next corridor, now you'll face the Tentacle from before (remember?) and another one in nook a bit farther. Kill them and jump down at the end of this corridor. To the left there may be a tentacle so kill it and go right for a HP. And immediately turn around to face a Skaarj. Hole this smartlizard ;) and go on. These bridges are very unstable so avoid walking on them (these goods are a bait). Instead climb the sprawling and go around the corner with flashlight on to pin down a Brute. Shield the Nali if you must for he'll unlock a Powerup for you. What does it do? Well, it increases ammo capacity of your DP by 10, ammo usage by 1 (and then again by 1...) which also means that one shot will be as powerful as two from non-tweaked one (and then as three, four etc.). Finally, you can charge by up to 5 points more by alt-fire. Needless to say, these Powerups are very valuable. When you pick it up (and watch nifty animation) go to the first bridge, climb the closer plank, turn right, run and jump for a SB. Return by jumping back to stable (?) ground. Pass the next bridge as you did first one and fancy your new DP against a Tentacle there. Go onwards and kill Skaarj a room later (time-space ;) ). In n.e.x.t. hall wait for Skaarj use a lift... No, scratch that. Don't give this son-of-a-gecko a moment to rest and kill him as soon as you can. Go up and turn to dust another one, watching the area down. When you are finished, crouch and go against the cave wall until you pick up both ASMD cores. Return to previous room, turn right and take the Stinger hidden in crate. Jump down and smash other crates containing some ammo and a HP. Go back up again and follow the left catwalk until you turn left. From there jump carefully onto crates for a SB. Turn right and destroy barrels from safe place then push the lever. Kill Brute and go up. Shoot the glass on the far side and save. This will be _really_ tricky. You must go there by facing a bit *left* while pushing forward and *right*. You'll probably fail a few times so just reload and try again. When finally in there, push buttons, loot ammo and prepare for a trip back. Do it the same way as you did just a while ago, switching the left-right direction of course. If you need it, there is an Assault Vest in a disabled fan. Finally, go through the newly-opened door to end this level. Whew. Level 4:Depths of Rrajigar -When I thought that I've left Rrajigar, I've found myself only in the farther part of this complex. It was like this... 1)In the very beginning, step on the lift, and jump right back. There will be a hole. Jump in. And see, there's an ASMD! Take a lift to go up again. 2)Don't try to fight the first Brute from the trasporter. He'll throw you to the lava with rockets. 3)When you see a Skaarj standing next to Tarydium barrel, shoot the barrel with ASMD or charged DP. It'll blow the sucker to pieces (only this one will work so good, unfortunately :( ) 4)In a big storage room don't destroy the crates - push them to the big ones where you came from and jump up for some stuff. 5)In the same area, shoot the bridge to open passage to the Amplifier (dive) ...Details: Go forward with care (there may be a Brute around the corner). Do 1) and you'll arrive in upper part of this room. If you feel like you need it, you may jump down a few times for some stuff. Next, push the red button and quickly jump onto the yellow cart, remembering about 2). As soon as you arrive to the end of route, jump to the safety (well...), turn around and fry the Brute. Just don't be too close to wall as this nice, red barrel will blow up easily, very easily, too easily... Ahem. After dispatching the meat, wait until a Nali that was around here teleports away. Then go along the wall until you'll have a tight encounter with a Skaarj Scout. If you didn't do something stupid, he should push some crates while jumping down. After you end the lizard's life, go up by these crates for some ASMD cores and a SHP. Then push the only button in area and use the transporter to go up - but beware of another Brute just waiting to burn you up there. Freeze him and turn right. Go on until you reach a bridge over lava. If you want, you can do 3) now by continuing forward. Either way, pass the bridge remembering to take Tarydium if you need it. Few rooms and one Brute ahead you'll find yourself in cellars. Go ahead carefully as you will encounter some Tenties there. At a crossroad, turn right to fight (yeesh) a Skaarj in this fog (?). Then take the ammo laying around and go through the only way left (to the right :P). A lift will take you up to a big storage area. Enter it and fight a Skaarj nearby. After that, you should be somewhere here: ---------- | | [] <-small crate | big | ## | crates | ## <-pillar | with |---| | items | A | | |---| ---------- | to the lift v Just push the crate to A and jump up for some HPs and ASMD cores (4). Afterwards explore the rest of this hall (you may fight a Skaarj but he'll probably run away. Either way you'll have to kill him. But first destroy the metal bridge by shooting at its middle part. When you hit the correct thing, it'll fall down (tip: DON'T stand under the bridge) and open a underwater chamber with an amplifier and again some ASMD cores. Now you an go up the stairs to fight this Skaarj (tip: If he's in the corridor, you can use the Tarydium barrels. Even though they won't kill him, hell be near-dead). Of course collect all ammo on the way. In next room with two big containers push both levers there. Collect Tarydium from the far wall and continue to the bridge you just damaged. Kill the Skaarj in there with the Stinger (he won't have any space to dodge). Next, jump over the damaged part, push the button and run-jump to the right to a crate with a SB on it. It's somewhat difficult but possible. After that, go through the opened door nearby, destroy any crates to collect ammo and go left to leave Rrajigar complex once and for all. Level 5:Sacred passage -I've rested for an hour or so and entered the Chizra temple, though it was quite tricky to get inside the walls here. 1)To get to the inside, you must swim through an underwater tunnel. It's very long, so dive as close to the entrance as you can, and go up for some air when you'll kill those nasty slaughterfishes. 2)To open a room with SHP, push a stone face on one of the columns. 3)And finally, to open entry to Chizra's temple, push the lever and wait for the pool to fill with water. ...Details: A first "rest" (as in "resting") level. Go up the path and check the Big :P Gates. Closed, huh? Well, gotta find another way in. Explore the area, killing a Sting-tail and Skaarj if one appears and picking up needed items (some ammo and HPs). Now it's time for 1). Go to the pool, fry any eels you see from shore and dive in to do the same with those you didn't see and one that was hiding in tunnel. Then pick up ammo and swim near the surface to a point closest to the tunnel. Catch some breath and dive in directly to the tunnel. Swim as fast as you can, not stopping anywhere and you should arrive without losing HP. Look around the place very carefully and kill a Sting-tail that is there. Now go inside the "building". Golden pots hide some flares. Look for a bleak stone face ( 2) ) and touch it. Go inside the opened room and dive in for a SHP, avoiding fishes with mean attitude as much as you can. Go up and return to open area. See the black stone wall? Step on a loose stone there to open it. Pass through. To the left you'll find a Brute and, much farther, some ammo. When you're done, do 3) - the lever is on the other side of this big stone... machinery? Oh well. Wait for the pool to fill up and enter the temple to end this level. Level 6:Chizra - Nali water god temple -I hated this place. It was long and tedious and I grew tired. There were Sliths and those nasty flying 'choppers' here, lots of them. I've found out that first one falls to Stinger and second to a beam from my ASMD. 1)To open the pass, destroy four chains holding the platform and jump-switch the lever. 2)When you jump down, dive into pool, swim down and forward, then up to a secret room. 3)First Nali unlocks a storage with flares, but often he keeps running away, at least in version 225f. I don't know what makes him run, so don't be suprised. 4)Later on, to draw a bridge to stone face in the middle of a pool, kill all Sliths in there. 5)When you'll deal with 'choppers' and go up, watch out! There may be Skaarj behind the door! 6)When you see Nali praying, jump down and dive to get some extra stuff (clips, Tarydium, Assult Vest, 2 ASMD cores). Take the lift and push the stone to get out of there. 7)To get to Super Health Pack, jump on a loose stone in the corner of the portal and jump up to the SHP. 8)To get to the hall with 8ball gun from the section with a long wooden platforms, touch the each stone of... somethings with blue flames ^_^' Then a secret room will open with a lever inside. Pull it, and the portal will open. 9)At the 8ball hall, go through the other portal *not* at the far left or right to get to a larger room with a lift. Take it, then go down. Shoot the wall there to unlock a secret passage leading to a SB. Don't worry, it's safe, just an invisible floor. To return, shoot the wall again. 10)In the place with a square stone platform in a middle of room, jump on it. A thunder will strike (Chizra?), opening passage to a room with a Skaarj and Eightball ammo. 11)At the Obelisk of Clouds, take the right corridor and when you reach a corner dive down for a Kevlar Suit (and slaughterfishes). 12)When you finally got the Eightball cannon, jump forward to the newly-opened portal, then take the teleport for a big shortcut (watch out for Skaarj). ...Details: First of all, let me say that this is the _shortest_ way to finish this level, how I complete it. If you want, you can play Indiana Jones and explore the other chambers, long sewers, secrets... But this requires a LOT of time. And can get pretty boring. Of course if you are actually good enough to survive this amount of Slith. Good luck. Back to the walthru, go right then left. Pick up the Automag and don't worry about this Slith - he's dead for good. Jump to the pool and swim to the middle of this wooden raft. Pull out your DP and destroy the chains there with alt-mode (no need for charging). Jump-switch the lever and go forward fast enough to "ski" by the moving pillars (this was 1) ). Turn around fast as you may find a Skaarj there. Either way, approach to the large pool and kill all eels you can see with DP. Then jump down and do 2). When you return from there, catch some breath and slay all eels that you've missed before. Go up by these two long planks and it's time for 3) to the right. At the end of this corridor, push the odd stone to make a platform come down. Use it to go up. Look around this room, jump to the ASMD and pick up ammo that lies around. In one of the nooks there will be another odd stone. Push it and whoops... You'll fall down. Push an.ot.he.r. bleak stone to your right and the gate will open. You'll find a Skaarj in this room and probably a horsefly. Smash'em and go to the passageway the Skaarj came out from. Advance forward (*aarrgh* -push- down any stones blocking your way). At the end of this corridor there is a Nali that starts running forward to show you something but a Slith blocks his way. Oddly, when Nali comes near to it, he usually doesn't end dead but instead the Slith jumps down. Oh well. Check whatever the Nali wants to show you (some text) and follow that Slith. There will be at least one more down there so kill them all ( 4) ). Touch the stone face to open exit here. Go through this passage but keep close to the wall as there are some kind of darts being shot over all the Tarydium in there. If you feel lucky, you may want to pick it up. Anyway, take the lift and jump to another corridor with a Nali in there. Ignore him and don't enter the big chamber right away. Instead do it like this - enter, wait a second then back off very fast and kill any 'choppers' that followed you with ASMD. Repeat until no one follows you. Pick up the ammo around there (smash the pots) and go up, remembering about 5). If the Skaarj wasn't there, go again through the trapdoor and kill him this chamber. Now go down the stairs and jump down to do 6) - just remember to catch some breath in every room. To exit this place go to where you entered it, climb to the shore, push the lever and go up the lift to your right. Up there, pick up two ASMD cores and push (again) the stone at the end of this passage. Now go downstairs again and jump over to the Nali. To your left or right you'll find a Slith so kill him. At the end of either corridor you'll hear the buzz. Look up and fry some more choppers. Push this large lever and go the other side of this O-shaped corridor and push another lever. Then go to the large gate and push a stone on the wall nearby. The gate'll open and after few steps you can do 7). Go through the corridor to the right from the gate. Kill anything that will show up and jump the stones to another large hall. Pick up ASMD cores and kill a Skaarj to the far right - you'll need to follow the platforms to get to him and he'll probably kill a Nali that is around. Oh well. Kill him and do 8) to advance forward. In this room kill all the Sliths and do 9). Now return to the eightball hall and go to the Pyramid (read the messages to know which passage it is). Here do 10), killing all the buzzers around first. Btw, if you look down at the chamber of death, you can see a tunnel that can be reached somewhere through sewers. Either way, go the Obelisk of Clouds and since you're out of paper, kill five Sliths around that want your autograph. Take the left corridor and kill leftover Sliths (if any). Around the corner, ignore the stones for now and go to the end of this corridor. There will be a hidden underwater tunnel around - it's 11) and try to do it as fast as possible (the chances are that you'll start drowning no matter how fast will you do it). Now go back to the stone blocks and climb them, collecting ammo of course. Follow the way to the big chamber. Avoid the pool and collect the ASMD cores stashed around in some corners. Next get a SHP behind this little waterfall. Brace yourself and jump to the pool. An earthquake will rumble and at the stones you climbed before a Skaarj will appear. You can try to kill him by ASMD combo if you feel lucky (tip: watch the light on walls). After you settle this affair get the SCUBA gear and return to the eightball hall. A small room will be opened in one of the walls there. Push the lever there and finally climb the catwalk to this stick of six fires. Now you've got a choice - either you can take long and tedious (but safe as you've already cleared it) way and retrace your steps thru the wooden platforms, loose stones, O-shaped corridor, stairs and finally the long passageway or make it shorter and use a teleport by doing 12). But be warned - if you take the shortcut, a Nali priest that will guide you will very probably die at the hands of Skaarj (or, even worse, you can kill him by telefragging). This Skaarj will also shred you a good time, taking advantage of surprise. If you take the long way he'll still be there but this time it'll be you that will mount a surprise attack. Either way, kill him and jump through the portal to FINALLY end this level. Now go somewhere and take a good break :). Level 7:Ceremonial chambers -This place reeked of Sliths. Luckily I had this rocket launcher - the punks weren't lucky. I had fifty bullets :grins:. 1)When you kill the first Skaarj (try to save the Nali there), stop and wait because a Slith on lower level probably noticed you and is on his way. Just wait loading your 8ball and when the portal starts opening, just smoke'im away. 2)At the small ridge over the lava, when you are on the other side of room, some Skaarj will appear. You can try to push them off to lava with ASMD or a single rocket. 3)At the room with first underwater lever, swim to the surface and then slowly towards the wall. There will be a pass leading to another SCUBA gear. 4)Later on, in the opened area, near the platform with crossbow (?) go towards the far wall and dive for some stuff. 5)In the middle of the first plank, jump down for some rockets. Just measure your jump carefully. ...Details: You start this level in a bad situation because as soon as you go out, Nali to your right will start running forward and will stop near a Skaarj. Sucide if you ask me. Try to race him to the Skaarj and kill the lizard before he can touch the Nali. If you hear an annoyed Slith, wait - you can do 1). If not, try to circle this room to annoy him. If that doesn't work, go to the door the Nali came thru. Now turn right and scope the room for possible Skaarj threat. Don't go through the golden gate now. Instead cover the part of this level which is shaped roughly as Q-Q. Kill any Sliths in sight but don't dive into water. Return to the wooden platforms and dive into water. Deeper you'll see Sliths some distance away. Lock on with your 8ball and fire multiple rockets at them (wait+load). If any of them comes too near, use Stinger. Now look down. Push the lever you see there and follow the underwater tunnel where Sliths were. You can check left and right chamber for some items in crates but your main goal is ahead. Behind the crates there you will find another level. You know what to do? Now return to the room you dived into water and rech the surface. Instead do 3) now. If you feel like you're low on eightballs, go through the golden gate and do 2). When you kill the Skaarj, return to the upper level and go to the other passageway. You will meet some enemies there and (now) dead Nali - if you can kill them before they kill Nali then you're better than me. Anyway, explore the platforms until you reach the big hall with a gigantic rock in the middle. Don't look down. Kill Slith and Skaarj that each want a piece of you and go to the end of this chamber. Get the SHP and return to the O=O shaped rooms. Jump down at the part to your left and explore a lower part of the rooms you left just a while ago. You'll meet some Sliths (about 3) and Stinger there. Now go to the other part (where you were annoying the Slith but lower) and enter the new part of this level. You'll meet another enemy here. Kill him and (ignoring Nali) explore this chamber, also diving into water for some flares. When you're ready, cross te golden gate and follow Nali to the upper level. Now he'll stop and you must turn around to face three Skaarj one after another trying to approach you. You'd best wait and load grenades. When Skaarj steps on the platform, blow the sucker away. When you kill all of them, the passageway will open. Go there fast and try to rescue Nali at the end of this corridor. Don't worry if he gets killed, it happens a lot. Either way, you must face a pissed off Skaarj. When you kill him, push the lever and wait for the lift to come up. Step on it and search for Skaarj somewhere below. When you find him, start loading rockets, but *without* locking on (if you'd try to lock, he'd spot you immediately and the fight would be harder). Then fire away at him. He'll probably survive it but will be significantly weakened so it'll be a piece of cake. Now get into water and swim right. You'll encounter two Sliths, one of them will kill Nali out there and both of them will start swimming towards you. Kill them and do 4). Next, push the lever next to the crossbow and climb the line to the plank (it's best to aim at its hook). Next, do 5) and climb to the very top. Follow the long corridor, leaving Nali behind and kill the Skaarj waiting at pier. Destroy crates for ammo and return for Nali (it's not necessary but...). Get on the raft fast and wait until it arrives at the end. Now you can dive and get some flares from the underwater and return to the portal. Get to the end of this place and jump down to leave Chizra temple complex. Level 8:Dark Arena -This dark place was a prison for the two-armed smoothskins. Humans that is. To this day I don't know how I've defeated The Beast but the fact is that I'm alive and it (and others of its kin) is dead. 1)When you come out from the first corridors, go to the closer corner of arena walls for ammo and then to another, far one, wasting the Skaarj by the way, blow the wall up and go down for a secret dungeon. Assuming that the exit from cell is faced 'north', don't go through western door - it leads directly to Arena, there's no return and you have more to do here ^_~. In the room with Skaarj and three levers, turn them on and return to prison to find that all the cells are now opened! Take the goodies but watch out for tentacles in there. 2)When you finally jump down to the Arena, trigger the trap (go near the 8ball) and quickly jump up for the moving platform. Then, by using earthquakes made by rampaging Titan, jump in the pillar for a SHP. Don't try to fight the Beast from there, this isn't too effective and you're liable to fall down because of the earthquakes. ...Details: *SPLOOSH!*. Swim up to conserve SCUBA and get out of the water. Go down the stairs and corefully look around. When you hear another splash, aim at the stairs you came from and wait for a Skaarj-out-of-water encounter. Next, look for a bleak stone face and, as usual, push it. You'll open the big gate nearby. Go through it and down the corridors (8balls on the way). Now the music kicks in. Look right amd go to the place where the building's walls touch rock wall. Here you'll find some ammo and HP. Go through the open area and you'll spot a Skaarj, apparently resting after some hard work >:/. Have no mercy. Pick up an Assault Vest from there and countinue onwards until you get to the other side of the Arena. There you'll find a cracked wall. Shoot it with Eightball to open the passage. Now go down and have a flashlight handy. When you exit the cell, look around carefully until you kill all Skaarj in this area (actually, at most there is only one of them lizards but take care). Now you're in area like this: C E L L S H E R E ######################################### # # # ################ ############### ## # # CELLS # # CELLS # -> A # # # # # ## ## ################ ############### # C<- # ## ################ ############### # # # # # # ## # # CELLS # # CELLS # -> B # ################ ############### ## # # #####################################^### *CELL* *CELL* |you came from here Don't go through C 'cause all you can find there is a Skaarj and a lift to Arena itself with NO return. Firstly go through B and kill every Skaarj there. Be careful not to throw any levers (you'll kill Nali!) or fall into the red pools as these seem to be filled with lava and will kill you on touch. When you're done, enter A and kill all Skaarj by surprise. Pick up Stinger and Tarydium shards and then switch all the levers. Now return to the cell area and loot every one there for some neat stuff, including a SB. Just watch out for Tentacles that nest in some of the cells. After that, go again to A and enter the other door. You'll exit at the main hall of the building. Here you MUST kill both Skaarj to be able to enter. When you do the job, climb upstairs and enter any door. You'll be in a circular corridor around the Arena itself. Again you must kill all Skaarj (pick up ammo on the way!). Next, enter the door on the outer bow of the sickle (the corridor's shaped this way) and push the lever. Three doors to the inner corridor will open. Enter it and pick up ASMD cores on one end and HP if needed on the other one. When you fell ready, jump down and do 2). Now you must fight the Titan. Just hide behind the pillar whenever possible and you SHOULD be okay. When you kill him, check out every place for a SB, some ammo and HPs (what are they for? Titan kills you on one hit >_<). Then exit through a cracked wall and immediately throw the switch on the wall you see (boy, how long was I looking for this thing >_>). Go downstairs and through the doors to exit Dark Arena. Level 9:Harobed Village -I was so tired that I rested in one of the houses there for about three hours. Then I heard Skaarj close by and felt that my journey is far from ending. I'd never thought that someone would build an underground cavern entered through the graveyard but Skaarj found it. I did, too. One thing made me anxious - there was a base or ship of some sort far away... 1)In one of the houses there will be jump boots. Don't take them until you find all houses with a hole in ceiling but no ladder attached. Then get the boots and jump up there (careful, this may be tricky) 2)The Nali in temple will open a passage in a back wall for you. There will be a Flakcannon in the tower, but beware of Skaarj waiting for your return. 3)In the cementery, push a face on the farthest grave from entrance. You'll open a passage to an underground path. ...Details: Exit the tunnel and go left, towards the village. Enter any house, loot it and go out. Now be very alert as several flies will attack you. You know what to do with bugs, huh? After you're done with debugging, check rest of the houses around, remembering about 1). Next, go towards the church. Kill possible horsefly and/or Skaarj scout. Enter the church - nothing worth attention unless you're low on health (and you shouldn't be, seeing as there was plenty of healing stuff in the village). Go near the Nali Priest and he'll open a passage in the back wall there. Enter it, go all the way up for the meanest gun in the unreality and go back - you may have to fight a newly-spawned horsefly now. When you'll be exiting this building you'll fight a Skaarj in the entrance or very close by. Try out your new toy on him. Now go behind this church and enter the graveyard. Kill yet another Skaarj and touch a stone face on one of the farthest graves (I don't need to tell you about picking up goodies, do I?). Go down the stairs and enter somewhat spooky cavern (it really freaked me out during night U sessions >_>. Scary ambience!). Pick up flares and Tarydium along the way and kill the Tentacle(s). Jump into water and swim the corridor for a SHP. Sweeet. Now return to the cave and you will fight a curious Skaarj. Exit the village and continue left, killing possible enemies until you reach a body of water. To get to the other side of pool, you must walk up on an edge of underwater platform until you can jump for the shore. Watch out for 'choppers' as they can push you back to water. Once on the other side, kill a Mercenary around the corner and you can enter Terraniux now. Level 10:Terraniux underground -This was so different from what I saw until now. A large base, full of mercenary scum. I've had no idea what could it serve for but there were many Tarydium barrels stashed around and pools full of Tarydium wastes. 1)You _must_ turn the alarm off, even if you passed the trapped corridor without engaging one (it is possible!) 2)When you go up by the lift, jump to the passing ledges for some extra stuff (getting out from the highest one may be somewhat tricky). ...Details: Go forward and kill a Mercenary to the left. Take ASMD cores and push the button. Wait for the lift to come down and kill another merc. Now step on it and... It isn't working, huh? Well, go check the other door here. These "beams" are alarm devices. You can try to avoid them (I always do. And succeed.) but there's no penalty for engaging them and you have to shut off the alarm anyway. In the next room take on by surprise two mercs, loot the stuff and push the two buttons with "omega" symbol. Now you can take the lift. If you feel lucky you can try to do 2) but it can be pretty dangerous when it comes to the higher stuff. In the next room, take out another merc and two that are in the lower right chamber. Go there (from now on I won't tell you to pick up stuff, there should be no need for it, huh?). Now you need to activate the pumps. In order to open the door to the pump switch, you must kill all Slith in area. And don't bother with Toxinsuit if you have Kevlar one. When you're over, enter the now-accesible room, push the button and... Level 11:Terraniux -Well, it appeared to be a large base with three greenhouses... There were many Sliths and mercs, and even few Skaarj. 1)In central room, lower level, a lift down will take you to another Toxinsuit. 2)In order to activate lifts, you must turn on three buttons in waste chambers. And one of lifts is damaged due to broken pipe in a mid-way. 3)When you go up, head to the central part of floor, go up the lifts then jump down for some stuff. After that, activate the lifts up by standing on button and wait until it takes you to highest floor. Then sweep the rooms from stuff you find (there is a secret passage to some Flak shells and Kevlar suit). 4)To get to the control room, you must dive into wastes at second foor, then navigate the pipes until you get out at a room with Biorifle. There you may push crates for some goodies in other pipes. The room on second floor will be opened and you can continue. ...Details: Go out and now that biowaste's pumped out you can jump down. Wander around and you'll eventually find yourself past the pressure door. Kill Slith to your left and go RIGHT. You'll find another Slith there as well as ammo. Go through the door and explore dark corners to find two ASMD cores. Nifty. Now use the lift and look towards the center of this room to find two mercenaries. Load 8balls to shorten this fight significantly (you probably won't kill them tho) and dispose of them. When the job's done, press the omega (roughly ;P) button *). Check the doors (some stuff is "hidden" behind walls there) and go out to find yourself in the central hub, lower level. Now you can do 1). When you're over, check all the pumping stations, wipe out what you find in there (some mercs and Sliths) and press the button. Also check any possible crates and don't forget about SHP, SB and Flak shells ;). Now that you're over, go the the lift where a broken pipe was reported (to get to lifts, simply enter one of the covered doors). Go up it and when you're halted, explore secret area. Now go down and take any other lift (watch out for mercenaries raining! =) ). Explore the greenhouses, killing mercs in sight. When you're over, head towards the central hub (it'll open automatically). Whichever side you came from, check all the others for leftover items and GoDown (warning! UT reference! %) ). Loot the stuff and do 3). Yup. Now back to the greenhouses and follow the way clockwise to eventually find yourself in a room with biowaste pipes. Jump (ewwwww!) and navigate the pipe system until you emerge at the control room. Do the sweep, take GES biorifle and push the crate to get another SHP. Press all the buttons and go up the lifts and clockwise again. Now the lift to Noork Elbow will be active. Leave the level. *) for those who don't know how omega looks like (shame on you =P): / / -- Level 12:Noork Elbow -I left the Terraniux and found out that the suns already have set. Before me was a small and quiet village. Way too quiet... But I've been resting at last for a while here. 1)To easily kill mercenaries, use Biorifle or grenades to trap the platform. 2)There is a secret passage in the river, just jump down and swim to the right. ...Details: Go out. Kill mercenaries. Search houses, kill Tentacles, get Force Field (another one and you can't carry two! >_<). Follow the only way to the Temple, kill Stings, do 2), enter Temple. That's it. Tired? Don't think so. Level 13:Temple of Vendora -It was an another temple, but a bit less complex than Chizra's. Here I started to think that I can be... No, that can't be true... 1)When in a room with circular pool, dive in, swim down then forward and right to an Amplifier. 2)You have a choice of how to get to the Torch of Tranquility - you can either take a boat or walk. Myself, I prefer walking for more control of movement. 3)Gasbags fall easily to six rocets. Homed, because those uglies like to dodge when floating around. 4)Later on, you'll see a Skaarj who quickly pushes a button when spots you. Rafal says that you can kill him by bouncing six grenades off the wall but the door will close itself anyway :(. 5)In the place with a head-shaped fountain, throw a flare to the water to open up a secret place with Invisibility (thx to Rafal for sorting that out. Man, did it bother me...) 6)You can shoot the picture of Vendora ( :)~~ ;) ) to some strange effect (thunders?). 7)When you enter a theatre, there is a lift to the right, leading to a dead end. There's a door there, but it's opened AFTER killing the Titan. Thanks once again to Rafal for this info. ...Details: Whichever way you came out from, go to the big gate downstairs and pick up eightballs (if you need to, of course). Now stop right before entering the courtyard. It's a trap (can you hear the Skaarj?). Snipe all Stings there and enter carefully. Kill the Skaarj and the gates will open once again (how?). Now enter through the opposite door to the one you came from - not that you have any choice ;P. To the right a mean Brute of the larger variety will attack you. Show him who's boss... and head left. Down the spiral stairway (flares) you will see a circular pool. It's 1) and you will encounter some eels on the way. Now when you're back, a Nali priest will guide you... But will be stopped permanently by another melee Skaarj if you're not good enough. Smash the chest open, take its contents and go left. Take Tarydium shards, return and go to the right passage. On the way you'll find some side rooms with stone beds, supplies and a Skaarj (Trooper) inside. Sweep them anyway and you'll find yourself in a larger hall with another melee Skaarj patrolling the bridge. Kill him and continue forward. When you'll reach the stairs, charge up something good as there's a.n.o.t.h.e.r Skaarj up there. Guess what? The door's locked. From the message you'll learn that you must light the Torch of Tranqulity. So turn left and either take the boat and take nearby gasbags head-on or use the dark passage and sinpe them safely with 8ball. When you'll reach the other side, KiLl one Skaarj on the pier and next two in the large chamber with two sets of stairs. Go up the stairs and clear both rooms there (with care, as always). Now push the button between stairs on the lower floor and leave this chamber... to face yet another Skaarj (man, do they EVER give up?). To light the torch in this chapel, you need to stand on the button here (electric lighter, heh). Also circle the room for two HPs. You can return to the locked door now. Next few rooms are a breeze and you can't get lost there (at least I hope so >_>). When you arrive to a room with a head-shaped fountain, throw a flare to the water there to get Invisibility. You'll eventually pass by the giant picture of Vendora (oh my...). Get the amplifier but wait! There's a Brute on the courtyard! Dispose of him and another of his kin in the corridors to your left. Now go to these corridors and this time, take the right passage and navigate through plains (warining! Two Skarj!). When you enter the theatre, kill a Brute to the left and go there (there's nothing to the right). Now fight the Titan on the scene (I suggest using amplified ASMD alt-ball and then eightballs). This time the fight is significantly easier, just take care not to be killed by stone fragments bouncing off the walls. When you'll slay the beast, exit through a passage in the middle of theathre's wall. An earthquake will close the way behind you... Level 14:The Trench -Probably the smallest level in game. Some gasbags, a Titan and few Skaarj... And a human vessel! It's the ISV Kraan you read about in old house at NyLeve. *To easily dispose of gasbags, lead them close to the titan. He may engage them and smash 'em with rocks. *To call a lift, stand in the red light, and remember to jump to avoid squishing. *Getting to the last door requires careful timing in activating the lift. Level 15:ISV Kraan deck 4 -Well whaddya know, a russian spaceship - hey, those Russians look like Skaarj! What about the crew? "If you are reading this, I'm probably dead". Exactly. They're all dead or away. Here you'll find a RazorJack, the worst IMO weapon in game for the level you get it. *When you go up a first time, a Skaarj there will sound an alarm. To turn it off you have to kill all Skaarj that will appear one by one, then jump down to the newly-opened airduct, navigate it until you reach a large hall with a platform in a middle of it. Jump on the platform (it may be tricky), then switch the panel. After that you may jump down and collect an armor from crate in the wastes. Level 16:ISV Kraan decks 3 & 2 -Well, this ship is much larger than Vortex Rikers was. Here you'll find an engineering room, gold cores and a disabled shuttle bay. Another big level. *If you want to get to the shuttle bay for some stuff, you must go to the upper level, turn the switch next to the bay doors (the giant ones). When you enter, you find out that you must find an override switch up in the bay. Well, go up and again kill all Skaarj there (this one of the few places where the Biorifle may be useful - just blob them in tunnels). The switch will be in one of the tunnels, as well as SHP and 20 Flak shells. You can also try to collect the stuff from ledges around there with Jump Boots. *Watch out for supposedly dead Skaarj out there. *To activate the lift you must: a) remove wastes from mezzanine b) destroy gold cores there (there are some stuff on the lowest level, as well as lots of waste) c) go to the engineering and put back the energy cores (use jump boots to jump on the roofs there) d) finally, make your way to the lift Don't be surprised by Skaarj spawning from time to time. Level 17:ISV Kraan deck 1 -The final level of this ship. The transporter pod is here, as well as many Skaarj and wierd amoebas. *As the translated text says, there's no way you can kill all of Skaarj in the first section. Just make your way through to each of the barrier controls and then past the barrier to switch it back on. *To open the doors to observation lounge you need to get in the biolab, quickly turn on the doors and get out of there. If you get locked in biolab, you must switch a lock and survive the amoeba for some time (you can kill them, but it's pointless if you have a toxin/kevlar suit, they won't hurt you) *When you return through the corridor to lounge, jump down there, collect goods and then go through airducts for more loot. Level 18:Spire Village -Last village you'll encounter on the way (Na Pali isn't one). Well, there are two Titans here, so beware! *When you land (look, the Kraan is up there!), take care because in a centre of the village there is a Titan! You have to lure him out there so he won't kill any of the Nali accidentaly. *Again, in some houses you can reach the upper level by Jump Boots. *To open the gate, jump-switch it. Level 19:Sunspire -Another (after Chizra's temple) nasty level. There are _lots_ of gasbags and Skaarj here. Also you'll find Skaarj Pupae here (hey, I didn't create this name!), they are quite tough to kill despite their small size. Find a Minigun! *You can easily get rid of Skaarj at a path by pushing them over to lava, but watch for a gunner with Eightball - he can push YOU. *Don't go to the sleeping chambers, they aren't worth it. *AFAIK the easiest way to the top is following: a) take the Primary Ascension (go forward from the entrance) b) go to the cistern (you may need to take some minor lifts on the way) c) dive in, use the underwater path to go out in a dark room full of Skaarj kids (^_^') d) make your way to a big room with a platform and a lever under it e) push the lever and take a Minigun f) go outside (no, not back to the entrance :P) g) when you get inside again, you'll evetually see two _long_ lifts. Take them and it's fairly straightforward from there. *In the place where lift to Na Pali goes down, turn right, eliminate the Skaarj there, turn around and take a SHP in a dead end. Level 20:Gateway to Na Pali -Large cavernous level, but with something unusual - it's suspended in sky! Try not to fall (BTW, where the water comes from?). There are new enemies here, the Krall and a last weapon - the Rifle. Kralls are weaklings. *To open crated door, you swim the other way to a small cavern with a dead guy, a rifle and a lever inside. Pull the lever and on your way back try the Rifle on a Skaarj that appeared there. Cool. But get out the water as soon as you past the grating or else the current'll take you all the way down... Level 21:Na Pali Haven -Sky town, now overrun by Skaarj who built a secret base there. Well, if you'll keep up the good work, Skaarj will be among endangered species ;). Not much to say about the place. More Skaarj and Kralls. *When you'll see a Nali standing on a wooden floor with crates aver his head, scare him out (single shot from Automag should do the trick), or else you'll kill him later on (you'll have to drop these crates to break the floor) *If you're stuck, go to the small O-based corridor with water. In there look for a wall with cracks on it and lights on the other one. Blow it up. *In a pub with three Kralls (those throwing dices) a Nali will open a passage in wall leading to some stuff. *Don't forget to take a SCUBA gear from one of the bedrooms. *When you'll flip a switch in a hi-tech room, go where it's shown on holoview. That'll be under a small waterfall. Level 22:Outpost 3J -Well, that's this base I mentioned earlier. Full of Skaarj and few Kralls too. You'll also find a temple here. *When you finish this long swim, be careful when going up because you'll face a Skaarj there. *The switch to the forcfield blocking the way out is on one of the sides of a big Tarydium container. *In temple, push an odd stone in the balcony to open a passage leading to two stone statues. Destroying them (like by pushing down) reveals some neat stuff. Level 23:Velora Pass -Again, a level where you can catch some breath. A second smallest in game, but has a Stone Titan - he's even meaner than 'average' one. Watch out! *To get to the other side of the rift, you _have_ to wake up this Stone Titan (by snagging the powerup, but you shuld have the highest level by now...), but you actually don't have to fight it. You can lure him somewhere safe then jump on the switch to call up bridge, pass it then drop it when the Titan's on it. But I figure that killing him is simply easier... Level 24:Bluff Eversmoking -A peak monastery in a middle of nowhere. Lots of Kraals and few Skaarj troopers. A large level with many different appproaches. *At a cementery, check the gravestones to find one of the level designers! *Touch a stone with a carved face on it while facing the direction where you came from. A lift in the crypt will go up. Go in there and follow the.. ghost! He'll open lots of ammo for you. *Don't be afraid to check out all sewers and tunnels in sight, you may find useful things in there, or even way to next area! *To get to the inner monastery, you must choose the right tunnel from the cell. *In temple, two Nali will unveil an ASMD with cores and a SB. *To get to area past the lasers, you must go by the ledge on a wall there. Just jump then, and turn the lasers off. *When you unlock the magnetic locks at a tower, get on lift and then jump right back to get to a secret area with some stuff. *Finally, when going down from the tower, jump to one of the walls for a SHP. Just be careful not to crash ^_^. *To get out of here, take the tram and wait patiently. It'll eventually get you there. Level 25:Dasa Mountain Pass -A large storage area with lots of equipment stolen from ISV Kraan and other ships that crashed out there. Simple when compared to previous level. Here you'll encounter Behemots for the first time. They are big and tough, but not invincible ^_~. *In first storage area (the large hall) go left and then by wall. One of the crates will be opened and there will be SB inside. *You may break windows in a room beyond the bridge for a suprise attack. *To open first gate you must go down by the plank left to the bridge. Watch out for Kraals. Level 26:Cellars at Dasa Pass. -Next complex and large level. In few places there are infinte amounts of Kraal - they just keep appering forever. Luckily, you don't have to kill them all. Also in one of these small rooms you'll encounter a Titan :/. *In the hall beyond first gate go to a first room to the left and activate the machinery there. You'll open a passage to another area. *After that, activate all levers (wheels?) you'll find there, then take the stairs to find yourself in a very tight arena with a Titan! Also, the Kraals are spawning there, so luckily the Titan will be somewhat occupied ;). Kill him, go to the newly-opened corridor, keep your eye for a Skaarj ambush. When you finally get up there, look down and search for a passage locked with bars. Jump on a shelf there, flip the switch and return the stairs. At the bottom, turn right to find that these bars opened! Go there, swim your way to the end and collect loot (in case you were wondering, you're inside that large pillar from before). Return afterwards. *Back in the corridor, the two doors to the right should be unlocked now. If not, you missed something on the way. Anyway, go there, after some hunting take the lift and carefully jump to a SHP, sweep the water from slaughterfish and jump there (you did open the doors from up there, did you?). Return to the corridor again and take another one in one of the rooms. *To get farther, you must swim your way through damaged watergate and then find a moved grating underwater. Swim there (it's wery long!), in a cavern push the lever and collect stuff. Return when ready. Take the stairs down to find yourself in another Krall-spawning room. Take all stuff you can, push the levers and run away. Now the gate with Behemoth patrol should be opened. *In one of later rooms there will be a locked gate and some more Kraal. Just kill them all to open it (this time it's possible). Watch for a Skaarj berserker beyond the gate. He's worse than Behemots IMO. Level 27: Serpent Canyon -The last so peaceful level in game. Also the last in such open area. Just take the boat and push forward watching out for Skaarj. Level 28: Nali Castle -Hey, this place looks familiar - it's the castle from intro sequence! Fewer Nali here, tho... You'll have to defeat a Giant Gasbag here so watch it. *In library with a fireplace, push a book on one of the shelves. The wall will turn around taking you to a secret room. *One of the Nali will take you to a lift and then to a small clearing. Even if you'll keep him alive, he'll be killed by a craft out there, so it's best to leave him in the corridor. *Killing Giant Gasbag will open the way to dungeons, you'll find the Nasty One in a large tower out there. Flak grenades are very effectiwe against it, but watch out for spawned normal Gasbags. *In dungeon, first kill all Skaarj, then open cells to face yet another Skaarj waiting for escaping Nali. Level 29:Demonlord's Lair -Here you'll fight the first Warlord (second one will be later on). He's very tough, firing rockets and flying around, but you'll eventually kill him (try luring him to a lower level). Level 30:Demon Crater -A Skaarj instalation next to their mothership. Small level. *In storage room use jump boots to get on the highest crates, you'll find the only PS here! Level 31:Mothership Basement -Well, that's it. Prepare for your final stand against the Skaarj. You'll find TONS of them in the next few levels... *This area is simple, just go forward, avoiding the energy beams, they'll shred you. Level 32:Mothership Lab -A confusing level with some teleports here and there. Also a detention centre. And don't touch the glowing floor or you're dead meat. *Don't go to the detention centre side rooms, you'll find only small Skaarj there. But, you can watch the prisoners through the forcewalls. Neat. *In a room with lots of warpers you can go right from the detention centre to a room with two Skaarj and some neat stuff. *To unlock the last warper you need to create a energy shortage. How? Conduct an experiment - go to the large lab with windows inside, push the switch, kill the charged Skaarj and go back. (If you read all the messages there, you will know that the prisoners are also 'engineered') Level 33:Mothership Core -Another twisted level, don't worry about the forcefields here - you'll clear them later on. For now, just get to the power generator. *Way to the generator is a bit tricky - you need to sound the alarm (there is a certain switch in one of rooms) then wipe out the Skaarj an finally go thru the now opened door. Level 34:Skaarj Generator -Now THIS is the smallest level in game. Basically, you need to survive then overload the generator (and don't forget the searchlight!) *When on a circular path jump to the generator for extra stuff, such as Jump Boots and SB. *Eventually, a second Warlord will appear. Kill the sucker and go inside the generator by lift. Push the switch and... Level 35:Illumination -RUN. Run and hide from exploding generator. This is practically an interactive movie. After cool explosion (stay away from the crater!) go back to the core. Level 36:The Darkening -This is core with all the stuff you can take from locked rooms. Watch out for Skaarj kids (lots of them) and engineered Skaarj with shields and other nasty enhacements. *You know the layout from your previous run, just keep your searchlight on. Go to the backup generator (near the labs), turn the backup power on and then head to the Antechaber. Level 37:Source Antechamber -Next small and easy level, few Skaarj. You need to find the lift to the Source. *Well, not much to say about this one. Just push the buttons and advance forward. Level 38:The Source -Well, it's almost over. Just find and kill the Skaarj Queen and then go to an escape pod. *Collect all the stuff you can then head to this strange bio-doors. For some fun you can try to kill Skaarj Pupae from the walls with a rocket or two. So this the end. The only bad thing IMHO is this ending with no resolving in Unreal 2 (this game sucks BTW). Anyway, where do Legend have their building? I need a big plane (the 707 will do) to get there and show my disappointment :>. Luckily, UnreaL: Battle for Na Pali comes... NOTE: I know. Unreal:RtNP is "resolving". But I've got it, played it through and it gave me some headache and a nasty feeling that if you leave Legend on their own when developing story the result will be......:self-censored:. Yeah, I don't like them. Never did and have no idea why would I anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [4] Cheats ALLAMMO - Gives you 999 ammo for all of your guns.

Beware the demon who came from the stars lurks in the shadows. A fool shall surely perish." "Beyond this golden door lies the holy altar of the stick of 6 fires. Only by touching the outset stones of the lightning fire pillars may one enter." "The stick of 6 fires can only be accessed by a warrior who has bathed in the pool of thunder, past the obelisk of the clouds." "The pyramid is the key to the chamber of death. Here you shall find more power for the stick of 6 fires." "The pyramid's center is the focal point of Chizra the Nali Water God's power." "This is the obelisk of the clouds. Beyond here lies the pool of thunder." "To reach the pool of thunder one must climb the loose stones." "Powerful strength comes from those who let the waterfall wash over them at the pool of thunder." "Beware those of impure motives who enter the pool of thunder shall face the demon from the stars." "This is the pool of thunder. Impure souls who bathe in the water shall face the demon that came from the stars."

"I must try to find a way out of this place. The lizard men in charge here are strangely barbaric given the technological advancement implied by their weapons. It may be harder to fool them than I first thought, but I must make the attempt." "If I am to die in this place, it pleases my mind that some of my former captors are here with me. Tomorrow I will find my own peace in death knowing that they have all suffered before me." "I'm so hungry. I hope that the others in the scouting part from the ISV Kran will find me. This is the only hope that keeps me going from day to day. Without that to cling to I'd be insane by now. I can't stand the screams of pain much longer." "I wish I had died when the Vortex Rikers crashed. I do not know what is to become of me. I am scared." "The Skaarj have brought in a new batch of the two-armed softskins from another of their raids. I fear that one of them is the Messiah, come down from the heavens, but I must pray that I am mistaken and not give up hope for the freedom of my people."

The Sky Demons know about our secret in the abbey, but haven't found it." "I'll not stay here any longer. With the next passing of the two suns, I'll try to reach the Sunspire. There I will be safe. Before I go I will retrieve the sky demon's weapon from the abbey." "We shall pray before we set off for the Sunspire. We will find refuge there.

"Sometime in the near future" as sir Windelnot would say ;P. 4) Version history 0.8 (27 March 2004) - the very first version. 0.95 (April 2004) - added Menu Navigation and Enemy data subsection. Minor improvements here and there as well as many typos corrected (why I didn't spot them before???) 1.0a (13 Sept 2004) - Beta version sent only to GameFAQs but ended up in supercheats and cheatbook as well. Completed Basics, Translator msgs, walkthru up to Terraniux. Removed menu navigation as it's really useless. 1.0b (26 Sept 2004) - A week after previous update a guy named Rafal popped out of nowhere and sent some useful info concerning Temple of Vendora. Plus, two new sites asked about using the guide, sooo.... 5) Sites Currently this FAQ is available at *only* following sites: http://www.gamefaqs.com http://www.neoseeker.com http://dlh.net http://www.superchats.com http://www.cheatbook.de and, of course, my own site: http://www.geocities.com/khajiitrankin 6) About me I wonder if anyone will notice lack of this section? Does it make any difference anyway? Again, if you have any comments, tips or anything related to UnreaL, feel free to mail me at. 7) Credits Well, I owe some people for creating this guide: *Digital Extremes/Epic for creating such awesome game *CJayC for creating and maintaining GameFAQs *JRK for being the first one to post my works on his site ^_^ *Maxin for moral backup :) *Mastyl for idea of putting all powerup locations together. *Rafal (rgwp@wp.pl) for useful infos.
