Basics A. Characters B. Move list II. Items A. Usable Items B. Key Items C. Photo List D. Pearl List E. M-Disk List III. Walkthrough IV. Credits and other info. ================================== === Section I - The Basics === ================================== A : Characters ______________ ____ Jade ____ Weapon - Dai-jo Staff Tools - Camera, Disc Launcher. Jade is the main character of a story. She was orphaned by the war against the Domz. When she came to Hillys, she set up a shelter for other orphaned victims, in a Lighthouse. Jade is a freelance action reporter, willing to do missions for anyone willing to pay her for them. She's a strong fighter, with a strong will and kind heart. Jade attacks with her Dai-Jo staff, which can charge up to do a powerful attack, hurting anything in range of her. It can also be upgraded to fire energy as she performs the energy-charge attack. Her main tool is her camera. She can use it to make money and complete objectives. Once Jade has found a special glove, she can fire small discs, useful to distract guards or to make precision shots at enemy weak points. _____ Pey'j _____ Weapon - Cutter Hammer Tools - Cutter Hammer, Jet Boots. 'Uncle' Pey'j is a close friend of Jade's. A portly pig-man, he's wonderful at fixing things, and more of a mechanic than a fighter. When things get tough, he can attack by propelling himself at the enemy with his trusty Jet Boots, an invention he made himself. Pey'j always looks out for Jade, sticking by her side and helping her through sticky situations as best he can. Pey'j can use his Jet Boots to fly up into the air, then slam down into the ground. This can knock enemies on the ground, into the air, and can flatten those he lands on. Soon after acquiring the boots, Pey'j will pick up his Cutter Hammer, allowing him to cut through bolts and bash enemies over the head. ________ Double H ________ Weapon - Power Hammer Tools - Power Hammer, Hillyan Army Armor Double H is a member of Iris, the 'terrorist' network which opposes the Alpha Sections. A very dedicated soldier, who takes everything seriously, and works as hard as he can to oppose the Alpha Sections and expose the truth behind the DomZ attacks. As a member of the Hillyan Army, he is protected by sturdy armor and can walk through laser beams which Jade cannot. He's always quoting doctrines from Carlson Peeters Manual, which Jade seems to know as well... When attacking, Double H has the same energy shield that the Alpha Section soldiers do, and uses a power hammer much like theirs. His super ability strikes the hammer against the ground, much like Pey'j's Jet boots attack can. As a special ability, he dons his army helmet and charges head-first into a barred or mesh grating. (He can also charge into Alpha Sections from behind, to damage their air tanks) _______ Secundo _______ A heavily-accented holocron, part of Jade's computer. Secundo digitizes items for Jade, makes wisecracks, and helps her find work. He's also a master at computers like himself, and can help Jade and company whenever they need help running or repairing a computer they come across. _________ IRIS Crew _________ Hahn, Nino, and Mei. These three are the primary driving force behind all IRIS actions in Hillys. Hahn is the leader of the group, but not the chief of all IRIS activities in Hillys (The chief relays instructions from afar). Nino is the editor and spokesperson behind the IRIS network, the one who produces all the issues of their Newsletter. Mei is your main contact in IRIS, a cute feline girl. She's the one you speak with most of the time via E-mail, and the one you're sending your photos to. ______________ Alpha Sections ______________ These shady soldiers are said to be the main fighting force against the DomZ attacks, but why is it they always arrive late? And the kidnappings by the DomZ seem to be getting worse, even with their protection... their leader is a sinister-looking General who leads a propoganda campaign. You'll see, and hear him, quite often in the game... B : Moves List ______________ On foot : Movement - Arrow keys, WASD. Run - SPACE BAR Crawl / Sneak - CTRL Use object - Q Buddy Action - E Attack - Left mouse button Dodge / Forward dive - Right mouse button Camera view - Shift, or Numpad 0 Take Photo - Left-mouse-button while in camera view. Toss Disk - Right-mouse-button while in camera view. Combos - there are two combo attacks in the game. One is a short, fast combo that consists of tapping the mouse button twice. The second, is a longer, but more damaging combo. To execute this one, tap the button twice, pause a sec, then start tapping it rapidly. Jade should hit twice, then start spinning with her staff, finishing with a roundhouse kick and a vicious staff blow. Backwards handstand - Face away from your enemy, hold down towards them and attack repeatedly. Jade should do a backwards handstand to kick the enemy. Sometimes she may just thrust her staff behind her to attack whomever is there. Charge Attack - This comes in two flavours. Regular, and strengthened. When you use it, hold down the mouse button to gather energy in the staff. When all the particles are in the staff, it will glow purple. Release the attack button to release a huge amount of energy in a wide circle. When you get the super-attack strengthener, after you release the attack button, tap it wildly to release globes of purple energy which home-in on enemies. These globes are the best for taking out alpha sections and alpha section flying robots. ============================== === Section II - Items === ============================== A : Usable Items ________________ Starkos - Starkos are small food items that restore 1 unit of health.

(Unknown, possibly get 1st place in all Races?) - ??? 14 - Pearl Game - Reward for finding all 88 pearls ===================================== === Section III - Walkthrough === ===================================== ---------- Lighthouse ---------- After the intro finishes, start attacking the Domz as they come near you. This is an easy fight, just keep combo'ing each one in turn. There are two different combos you can do : First, tap the mouse button 3 times in a row, and you'll hit twice, followed by a powerful third blow. Second, if you tap the mouse button twice, then pause, then start tapping some more, you'll start a spinning attack, dealing MUCH more damage. Either way, you should have no troubles here. Once you've defeated the Domz, Jade is taken belowground to confront a very large, dangerous Domz. Pey'j runs in to rescue her. As this battle starts, charge up your Dai'jo staff (Hold down Attack) to break out of the spikes that hold you. Run up to the boss, and attack his Eye. After a few hits, spikes rise up and the boss's eye will rise out of range. When this happens, charge up the staff and hit him with a charge attack to knock him down. Hit him a few more times until he rises up, then charge-attack him again. Repeat this until he dies. Grab the pearl, and an Alpha Section soldier will come down to let you up, and to tell you that it's save above. Float up, out of the cavern. After the cutscene, grab your Camera. Your camera is used as one of your primary moneymakers. You need 350 units to charge up the shield, and there are plenty of things to photograph inside the lighthouse. Start by taking a photo of the child with glasses, and the insect (150 and 200 units, respectively). This will be enough to get the power back on, and the shield turned on. Turn around, go into the kitchen. There's a Starkos on the counter. This will refill one heart. Take it, then take the 3 in the fridge. Go to the stove, kick it open, and take one more. Turn around, and run up the ramp to the second level. Up here, take a photo of the goatlike child with horns (There are 2) for another 350 units, then take a photo of the large dog for 100 more. To the right of the dog, is Jade's room. Enter there, and run up the ramp, to get another starkos. Head out, then make an immediate left. Push the button on the wall to enter the bathroom, and get an Active Principle, which increases your health meter by 1 heart. Run out, hit the other button on the wall, and run outside to the shield. It's easy to take a photo of a Seagull out here for 400 units. There's a two-legged otter above the shield, but I wasn't able to take a photo of it. You need the zoom feature, which we can't get yet. Head back down to the dog, Woof. Try to take the item from his mouth, and he'll run outside, chase him out there. Run up to him, and hit Mouse2 to dive at him. When you grab him, he'll stop and you can take the Box of K-Bups, which restores ALL your health. Take a photo of the field armadillo for 150 unts, and if it's nighttime, you can go move down by the tree to get a photo of Fireflies, worth 300 units (If it's not Night, just wait, it will be eventually :) If you use your camera and look for Solaris, you can watch the sun set! ). Head back up, run into the door that Pey'j went into, the one by the spinning, floating beacon. Follow it into the hangar, then into Pey'j's Workshop. Take a photo of Pey'j. This will give you a full roll of film, which rewards you with the Digital Zoom. Run over and grab the Mdisk, then play it at the MDisk player that Pey'j was working on. Run outside. Run back up the lighthouse to snap a picture of the otter. It's worth a cool 1000 credits. Back in the Hangar, grab the two Boost units and two POD repair units from the workbench, then start pushing the motor. Pey'j will help you, and you'll power up the Hovercraft. Before you leave, make sure to snap a photo of the fish down in the water of the Hangar! ====== Hillys ====== Jump in the Hovercraft, then head out to the open waters. Look for a building with smoke pouring out - easy to spot. That's the garage. You won't be able to make it there, the hovercraft will break down, but you'll get towed in. In the garage, are three rhino-people. Take a photo of any of them, it's worth 300 units. Run in and buy the Speedcraft Motor for 1 pearl - the only thing you can afford, for now! It's automatically installed on your Hovercraft. Turn around, to the K-bups dispenser. There, you can buy a Meca Impulser which increases your Hovercraft's health gauge by 1 wrench. It costs 1500. If you've taken every photo so far, you have 3200 units, so buy it! Don't buy anything else, though. Run to the back of the store, to the space engine. The dispenser there has another Meca Impulser, for 1500. Head back out, and into your hovercraft. Now another powerful Domz will attack. It's a FAST moving wormlike doms that hovers over the water. Try to take a photo if you can, for a good 2000 units, then fight him off. He's fairly easy. If you stay in one spot or move slowly, he'll rush you, giving you ample opportunity to shoot his head. If you accelerate behind him, just stay behind him and fire like mad, he goes down fast. Successfully defeating him nets you a 2nd pearl. After defeating him, snap a photo of the school of fish. An Alpha Section flying machine will stop you if you go to the right, so go left into the Main Canal. Here, travel straight until you come to a 4-way intersection, then make a right, to the pedestrian district. In the Pedestrian District, head around and up the ramp to the bird man at the newspaper vendor. Snap a photo of him for 300 units. A walruslike person wanders around here frequently, look for him and snap a photo for 300 more. Head up the alley across from the newspaper vendor, and enter the Akuda Bar. In here, snap a photo of the bartender (Bull-like man) for 350 units, and one of the Shark people for 400, bringing you up to 3850 units and finishing a 2nd roll of film, granting you a pearl. The shark person in the booth, talking with the woman, has a code for Room 2 on the paper in front of him. If you get too close, he'll cover it up. Try to get as close as you can without him covering it, and jot down the code. Run upstairs to room #2, and use the code. Inside, grab 3 boost units, then kick open the locker to take the pearl. Head outside, and go into Room 1 to get a ticket from the goat man there. Upstairs, you can play the pearl game for cash, or downstairs you can play the pellets game against the shark. If you wager 1000 units against the shark, you can win a Pearl. Try it if you want, then head back outside. Head right, then down the ramp to the Street Vendor. Buy the PA1 from her, and if you can afford it, the pearl as well (PA1 costs 1500, Pearl costs 3000. You may want to play the games in the Akuda bar to earn money for these). You can't go further because the guards block your way, so head back to the hovercraft. From there, use your compass to head to the Black Isle. ========== Black Isle ========== Talk to the chauffer, then save your game. Run up until you see a small alcove to your right, and enter it. Inside is a vent to jump into. There, you'll find a group of odd plated animals. Snap a photo for 400 units, and grab the Starkos and the boost unit in this area, then head back. In the large area with the beetles, to your right is an AP1 you can't reach yet, and in front of you is a closed door. Stand on one arrow and tell Pey'j to stand on the other with the Action key, to open the door. Run inside to the Mine. Plenty of things to photograph in here. Start with the fly in the first area for 150 units. Run over to the broken ladder, and then talk to Pey'j when he calls you over to him, to view the Jet Boots. Hit E to send Pey'j flying up... then falling down. Run over and stand on a button, and tell Pey'j to use the super action to launch you up. Run over to the gear between two boards, and use the action with it to drop the two ramps. Snap a photo of the map and Analyze it to get a map of the area. Then snap a photo of the orange balloon inside of the spiky shell. The latter is worth 400 units. Run up to it, then have Pey'j use his Jet Boots attack to pop one out. You can hit it in any direction, but aim it at the crates of explosives. One will open an alcove containing a boost and two Starkos. The other leads you to a large, purple anemone. A photo of it is worth 500 units. Run up and start smacking it to get Materia crystals from it - each crystal is worth 5 units. A grate will block your path - turn around and enter the alcove to your right. Here, attack the materia crystal on the ground to get a bunch of crystals, and send two balloons flying - Aim one one balloon at the explosives in the cart, and the other balloon at the larger materia crystal. Gather the small crystals, then run up the ramp you just dropped. Head right to get in a fight with a flying Crochax. Try to snap a photo for 1000 units. Kill it and grab the Materia. Past it, push the Cart until it's next to the wooden barricade, then use the small gear in the corner. Jump up onto the ramp you just lowered. In this new shaft, snap photos of the green jellies for 700 units, a photo of the waving tentacles on the walls for 300 units, and the jellies covered with brown shells for 800 units. (This should finish Roll of Film #3 and grant you another Pearl) Kill all the monsters in this area for money. At the end, stand on the two arrows to open the door. In this area, kick open the lockers for a Boost Unit, Box of K-Bups, and Pey'j's cutting hammer weapon and tool. I'd recommend buying all the starkos from the vending machine, and saving the game. Now Pey'j can open up the grates with his tool. Run down the path, and make a LEFT at the evacuation map. Photograph the huge creature at the bottom (the Spongus one) for 500 units, then run past and wait for the creature to emerge from its shell, and take a photo of it for 500 more units. Head out of this shaft using the tunnel to the right of the evacuation map. Head all the way back out of the Secondary Shaft, down the ramps, and this time let's backtrack all the way out to the mine entrance (Not a long run, really). Remember the vent? We're going in again. This time, tell Pey'j to use his action on the grating. Run to the end of the vent, and snap a photo of the pinkish slug thing that you see across the yard, netting you 300 units. Jump off the vent and you'll land on a ledge with an AP1. I'd recommend giving it to Pey'j, but that's your choice there. To give it to pey'j, open your inventory, go into the S-A-C, select it, then move the cursor to Pey'j and drop it on his picture. Head back into the mine, down to the grating that barred your path before. Open it with Pey'j's cutters, then buy everything in the dispenser machine (Another PA1 is here!). Head down, Jade will hug the wall under the ramp. Pey'j will stay behind, but he can still do his super action. Use it once to hit the crystal with an orange balloon creature, then run up the ramp and push the cart all the way over. Head back down and hit the cart with an orange balloon guy, to knock down the ramp for Pey'j. After fighting off the enemies, run back over the ramp to the hole in the wall it was covering. At the top, take a photo of the amoeba (750 units). Heac back out, and use Pey'j's jet boots to catapult you up on the switches, just like at the mine entrance. Jump into the new room and press the button to open the door. Save the game on the Mdisk machine. In the corner of the room, kick the power box to turn off the lights. Then, grab your camera, and look up towards the middle of the room. There should be a greenish creature circling there! Snap a photo. Open the grate, and head out. Take a photo of the flying nautilus shells, nabbing 500 units, then jump down. After Jade steps on the eggs, take a photo of the creatures you fight (900 units). If you use Pey'j's super action, he can knock these into the air, just like the orange balloons. Use this ability to hit the large materia crystals and ramps, as you fight. Make SURE you knock down the ramp, to gain access to a Mdisk player and three crystals you can hit with your staff! Run to the gear and have Jade use it, to lower a platform. Buy everything in the dispenser unit again, then move on. Make your way past the anemonies until you find one that's on the ground instead of a wall. After hitting it until the tentacles retract, use Pey'j's super ability to smash it flat. Run past, and be ready for the boss. To your right, is the photo you need to take, of the two creatures. Wait until they both pop out, then snap a photo. The boss Attacks. There are 4 holes the boss can pop out of. When it appears, take a photo (3000 units!), then have Pey'j stun it with his super attack. Do a combo, then kill the jellies that pop out. Use Pey'j to stun it the next time it pops out, combo it, then kill the flying creatures. Now the boss will fly over you and attack with a laser. Charge up your staff to hit it when it comes near you. Once you hit it, it drops down again. Repeat this process (Combo it, then charge attack when it flies over) until the boss bites the dust. Another pearl is yours! As is a cool 3000 units for a job very well done. ====== Hillys ====== After the cutscene, jump into your hovercraft and head back to town, to the Pedestrian district. At the newsstand, you should have more than enough credits to subscribe to both newspapers. Do so if you want to. Across from the vendor, is a door. Head in. You'll be blocked by red beams, but you can snap a photo of a spider there for 350 units. Head out, then into the Akuda bar. Save your game. I'd recommend doing the pellet game for a pearl - you have plenty of money to spare. If you lose too much cash, just load the game and try again. It's tough, but the pearls are very necessary. Be sure to practice in the 'training' mode a couple times before you play for the pearl! Head upstairs and talk to Peepers. Give him the password, then play his game. It's very easy. This gives you a ticket, jot down what the code is. Use the code to enter the Iris base. Once in there, watch the cutscene and take a photo of the cat girl (400 units). This should net you another pearl. Go down, watch the cutscene, then grab the mdisk and watch it. Save your game, then head out. Now that you have a city pass, go back to the square where the guards stopped you before. Buy the AP1 and Pearl from the street vendor, if you didn't before. At this point, doing everything I've told you (If you didn't lose too much money getting the pearl from the pellet game), you should have around 11000-13000 units. Head back out to the main plaza, past the guards, and enter the door leading to 'Transit'. Here, kick the materia box for some units, push the locker aside, and crawl through the opening. You can crawl under lasers that are high, and dive (Right-mouse-button) over the low lasers. The point of this area is to reach the pearl at the top. To do so, you'll need to follow the conveyor belts until you reach one that has a small nook to the side, where you can jump to another. Be sure to dive over the low lasers, crawl under the tall ones, as you go. The closer to the pearl you get, the harder it will be! If you get lost in this area, stop on a nook, take out your camera, and plan the route to the pearl. Once you grab the pearl, exit the area, then enter Ming Tsu's shop. First, talk to the storekeeper and give him the Password. He'll give you two MDisks (Iris newsletter issues) and subscribe you to the Iris NewsFLASH that e-mails you with the headlines. Second, take a photo of the fish in the tank next to him :) Buy a pearl detector (3000 units), animal detector (1000 units), Pearl (3999 units), then you have your choice - buy a super-attack strengthener for 2000 units, or buy an AP1 and Meca Impulser for 1500 each. I'd suggest the latter, as I didn't find the super-attack strengthener all that useful. It's up to you. I'd suggest coming back after you get more cash to get it. Head back to the Mammago Garage. You can easily afford the Neutralising cannon at this point, it's only 5 pearls. It's installed automatically, and this IS needed to complete the mission. Once you head out, the Domz attack again! This is a good opportunity to test out the cannon. Only fire it at the ships that have GREEN contrails. Now you should have 4 pearls if you've followed my directions and done everything so far. We can still get 5 more at this point. 1) Do the hovercraft races 1 and 2. Winning nabs you a pearl and 1000 credits, for each race. 2) Straight out from the Mammago Garage is a beach, with a cavern leading to the Looters Cavern 1. Follow the Looter through this cavern to get a pearl. Shoot at boxes along the way to get extra materia crystals for extra money. Avoid the red beams - they'll damage your Hovercraft. If you don't think you'll make it through a door, use a speed boost. At the end, shoot him to get money and a crystal! 3) Across the bay is a cavern to the Vorax's Lair. Enter this area and snap a photo of the frogs (450 units), then press the button on the cabinet and grab two boost's and an AP1. I'd suggest giving this to Pey'j so you have 6 life, he has 4. Save and enter the cavern. Use Pey'j's super attack to knock some of the small enemies into the air, and knock them into the ramp and materia crystals around. Run up the ramp and kill the jellies, then use the orange balloons to knock down the ramps and hit the materia. Cross the ramp leading to the 2nd balloon to knock down another ramp, get more materia, etc. Head back, then run down the ramp and attack the materia crystal for money. Jump over and kill all 3 Crochax for a pearl! 4) Head out and to the right, down the water passage guarded by an Alpha Patrol ship. Since you have the Neutralizer cannon, you can destroy it. AFter it's dead, shoot the crates in the water for money, then enter the Looters Cavern 2. Use the same tactics as the LC1 to get another Pearl. Head down the channel further. Another alpha ship appears, and tows you away. Shoot it down, then enter the cavern near it. In here, take a photo of the little worms (400 units), then kick 'em for a few units. You can't enter this door yeT, so head back out to the channel. After getting all five (2 races, 2 looters, 1 vorax lair) pearls, head down to the black isle area. You'll see a huge pipe leading to the Nutripills factory, with another Alpha Section ship guarding it. Blow the ship to peices, then enter the factory. ================== Nutripills Factory ================== At this point, You should have 5 PA1's. I would recommend giving one or two to Pey'j. Otherwise he'll get whiny about it :) Once you've given some to Pey'j, jump up a couple steps and turn around. Take a photo of the flying, fanged creature, the Vorax (500 units). Keep hopping up until you see a bar code in red. This is the serial number you need to send the governer. Just take a photo, get the code, enter the door. It's that easy. Now you're inside the main area of the factory. First, have Pey'j open the gate, and run through. The rats here are easy enemies. Kick 'em for 1 materia (5 units of money), or dive on 'em with the right-click, for 2 materia. Take a photo (200 units), then run over to the red lasers. Dive over the first, then crouch under the second, then dive over the third and push the button to turn them all off. Next, you need to push the crate into the groove on the floor, then over to block the electricity. Save your game now, at the Mdisk player. Next to the elevator, is a broken piston. Pey'j can fix it, but it doesn't have any power to move, or a fuse. That's your next step. Turn to the right, and enter the Laboratory. The second you open up the elevator, you'll be attacked by tons of mechanical spider things. Since they're not living, don't bother with a picture (They're hard as hell to photgraph, too). The ones in red, are the ones about to attack, wait until they get in range then swipe at 'em once. Get on the elevator, then ride it up. At the top, run towards the electricity. A Security robot shows up. You can't kill it with your staff alone, but if you combo it, the laser will aim upwards so you won't have to worry so much about damage. The goal is to knock it into the electricity, which damages the electrical field. Once you do so... run through the door. Here you'll find Double H being tortured by the DomZ. Take a photo as evidence, then turn around and photograph the serial number. Since you got the evidence, the governer will send you the code. Use it, to get the Gyrodisk Launcher. Turn around, and use it on the Domz machine to free Double H, and earn a pearl. Walk up to the Grate, and have Double-H do his special action for a way out, and a laugh :) Run around to the other side, and save, a boss battle is coming up next. Wallhug your way back to the main elevator room, and you'll be attacked by a huge green critter, who grabs Pey'j. Take a photo first (3500 units!). He'll jump up to the side of the room. Zoom in your camera, use a Gyrodisk to make him jump back down. While he's up on the side of the room, he'll fire green shots. Just stand between two of them to avoid getting hit. Be sure not to be around him when he lands. After he lands, fire another gyrodisk to make him cover his eye. Run up, and smack him around with your staff. He'll take a beating, then jump back up. Repeat this process : Hit him with a gyrodisk when he's up on the ducting on the wall, avoid him when he lands, fire a disk to blind him, then hit him with your staff. Do it three or four more times, and he should let go of Pey'j, and die. After he dies, backtrack across the crate that's blocking the electricity, all the way back down to your ship. Once in the ship, head through the tunnel in the top of the screen to reach the pearl that the creature drops. Head back up, and once you jump back over the crate to the main elevator area, make a sharp right, to enter the electrical room. Time your run past the electrical arcs, until you reach the room with the fan. This part is easy : Hit the fan a couple times with the gyrodisk to make it power up the button out of here. Be sure to bnuy the kbups from the vending machine, then push the button to enter the dynamo area. Circle around to the back of the dynamo (Generator), and grab the keycard. A robot will attack. You can stun it briefly by having Pey'j use his jet boots attack with E, or whatever you bound it to. If it starts glowing red, it's going to roll at you, so dodge out of the way. Smack it when it's not red, until it dies. It's a bit tricky, but you'll get the hang of it. After you kill it, grab the keycard and circle back around to the front of the dynamo. Five more will attack you (What a pain!). Be SURE to have Pey'j use his jet boots attack, and knock one of them into the electricity! That way, you can get another PA1! Once they're all dead, use the key on the triangular button, to turn off the power. Now grab the fuse. When the power comes on, turn it off again, then quickly run behind the generator, to grab a second fuse! Run back to the elevator. Use one of the fuses in the elevator, then look up at the cable that's been severed in two. The support for that cable is damaged. Toss a gyrodisk up at the damaged support, and the cable will drop down, gaining power from the electrical field below! Now you can use the Elevator to head up. I'd advise saving your game before you head up. Once you're ready, go to the top of the elevator, to the upper hall. Once you hit the top, Pey'j gives you a disk. Run up to the double-doors, and have Pey'j push one button, while you push the other. THey both have to be hit at once. Once inside, the Domz attack! Try to take a photo if you can, it's worth 900 units. ***************************************************************************** BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!!! BE ABSOLUTELY SURE TO REMOVE ---ANY--- PA1'S THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO PEY'J! ***************************************************************************** Once they're dead, climb up the machinery and kick open the grate. First, walk (DO NOT RUN, or you may trip an alarm!) over the pipe to the middle. Turn around, and you'll see some crates going through an X-Ray machine. When they pass through the machine, you'll see a skeleton appear. Photograph that skeleton for the first report! WALK over to the far side of the pipe, and enter that room. There's a grate with a white mouse, jump down and walk down the ramp. At the bottom, is a map of the factory. Photgraph it, and analyze it, for the map of the area. Then crouch, and SNEAK up to the white mouse to grab a photo. Then head back to where Pey'j is. Bummer, Pey'j is gone now. And WILL be gone, for almost the rest of the game. You will find ONE PA1 that Pey'j drops. If you gave him 2 or more PA1's, then you get ONE back. So you CAN lose PA1's if you're not careful here! Push the crate underneath the slit in the door. Jump on top, then throw a disk through the slit, and hit the button to open the door. You can't pass the lasers, so kick open the grate next to them, and crawl through. After a very brief conversation with Double H, crawl through, past the guards, then kick the rats as they come out of their holes for a few credits. Be prepared for some stealth maneuvers, as now you're up against Alpha Sections, who are VERY strong, VERY tough, VERY good fighters! If you missed the report with the X-Rays earlier, here is another place to get them. First, throw a disk at the air tank on the soldier watching the crates. The second soldier will be alarmed, so stay out of his sight! When the second soldier runs to help the first, throw a disk at HIS air tank! Now they'll both be helpless. Run up and kick them to kill them. Alternatively, sneak slowly past them to avoid detection. If they detect you, run back to entrance to the area, and jump into the small nook. There you can avoid getting spotted. In the second room, do the same :) Either nail both of the Alpha Sections in the air tanks with disks, or crouch under the small wall, wait until the patrolling guard turns around, then run into the next area. In this area, there's only 1 patrolling guard, but nowhere to crouch. Either sneak behind him carefully, or just toss a disk at his back and kick him to kill him. I recommend the latter. In the final area, Double H needs your help to get past the flames. You need to use the Gyrodisks to hit the buttons under the flames, 1 at a time, starting from the left. Be quick! Once you're past, save the game, and have Double-H push the button to lower the lasers. You can watch Pey'j's Message if you want (Touching...). Also, I'd recommend giving Double -H a PA1 or two. Don't worry, he won't vanish like Pey'j did. Run down the corridor, and you'll find an alpha section soldier blocking your path! Don't bother trying to fight him, jump up on the machinery, and run OVER him. Then kick him from behind :) You can sneak away, but why not get an extra kill, and 5 more units? :D In this next area, you have two options. Either sneak past the two guards, or KILL 'EM! I definitely suggest the latter, as this is a hard part to sneak past... but if you can get past the area they're both at, you can open a cabinet for another PA1, a set of PODs (Think of it as a box of K-Bups, for the hovercraft :) ), and a Box of K-Bups. Run out, and around, to the X-Ray verification room. Turn off the lasers here, and you can return to the entrance where they kidnapped Pey'j. However, there's no need to go there yet, except to save if you want. Now, see those boxes moving across they conveyor belt? The object is simple - keep a box between you and the Alpha Section guard at all times. Sneak past him by staying behind a box, it's that easy :) Another alpha section guard will be ahead, but don't bother. You can't sneak past him, and killing him wastes time. To your right is an alcove of boxes, run over there. Don't worry if he sees you, it leads to another area, he won't follow. In the closet, kill the rats if you want, then run around to the vending machine. Buy the K-Bups, and the starkos if you want. Make sure you have at least one starkos! Head over to the cabinet in the corner. It's empty! Put a Starkos in, then be ready to photograph the little insects that come out... another 700 units in your pocket. Head out, then climb up the boxes and enter the Nutripills vat area. Press the button on the pipe next to the rat, to make the guard come investigate. After he checks the pipe, sneak past him, or use a disk to disable him as he returns to his post. I always suggest the latter ;) Run past him. In this area, you can hit the spiders with disks for some money, if you want. Push the button next to the conveyor for the MDisk inside, and open the cabinet for Pey'j's Jet boots, and a starkos. Take a close look at the bottom of Pey'j's boots! Here are two codes... run past, and two robots will attack. Combo both of them to make them aim up, to avoid damage, then knock each one into an electrical field. In the room with the cabinet the boots were in, run through the door to the Computer Room. Open the cabinet for another MDisk. If you haven't watched Pey'j's message by now, watch it now. The codes on the bottom of the boots, are the codes he mentions! Also, watch the surveillance mdisk, and if you want, the hillyan army databank mdisk. Save the game, while you're at it. Head out, then through to routing. Two routes are currently
