STORY ===================================================================== In the first Parasite Eve, Aya Brea was a New York police agent. In December 1997, in Manhattan, she had to fight against creatures whose mitochondria had begun to act on their own, causing horrible mutations to their hosts and creating havoc in the city. The most powerful and terrible of these creatures was Eve. After several days, thanks to the special powers that her mitochondria granted her, Aya Brea managed to defeat Eve. The creatures eventually escaped, but all of them died. Anyway, no one knew for sure if the danger was definitely over, so a special FBI division, the M.I.S.T. (Mitochondrion Investigation and Suppression Team), was created. Aya Brea moved to Los Angeles and joined the M.I.S.T. In September 2000, Aya is sent to the Akropolis Tower, where something very strange is going on. She doesn't know for sure what's up in L.A., but she'll discover it very soon... The nightmare isn't over yet. ===================================================================== 3. CHARACTERS ===================================================================== AYA BREA Age: 27 FBI agent assigned to the M.I.S.T. division. Codename: NMC (Neo-Mitochondrion Creature) Hunter She looks younger than she is due to the peculiar action of her mitochondria. Say thanks to those mitochondria and to Squaresoft character designers, because this is one of the most gorgeous women ever seen in a videogame. She may be not so perfectly suited to a monster-killing mission as Jill Valentine is, but she has more than enough to cope with the monsters she'll meet. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a voice (grrrr... EVERY damn survival horror game has live-acting voices nowadays, why should Squaresoft always be an exception? I mean, if they talked as much as in FFVIII I could understand, but...). Please try not to faint in that CGI scene near the end of Disc 1. And, as JL Lee pointed, she's a blonde, and she has brains. Wow! KYLE MADIGAN Age: 29 Mysterious man claiming to be a private detective. I don't like this guy. He comes out of nowhere, does nothing most of the time, and sometimes produces a handgun more powerful than Han Solo's blaster. And he's stupid, too... he finds a blacked out Aya and doesn't take advantage of the situation the way any other man would :). You see... stupid. PIERCE D. CARRADINE Age: 31 Aahh, this is a good one. He's got brains and doesn't talk too much. Plus, he finds info about everything, and he's very friendly to Aya. I'd just like to see him in combat. RUPERT BRODERICK Age: 37 NMC Hunter What would a story like this be without a guy like this? He lost his family in the Manhattan accident back in 1997 and now everything he wants to do is to destroy NMCs. Too bad he gets his arm injured very soon (but not before he saves Aya's life at least once). He's been in the FBI for quite a while, but he doesn't recognize a detonator when he sees one. Hmmm... ERIC "HAL" BALDWIN Age: 50 M.I.S.T. director and Aya's supervisor Another good one. He gives you orders and papers and _sometimes_ answers the phone when you call. He spends the rest of his time with women (well, what else could he do?). I wonder if there's someone in M.I.S.T. doing his own job but Aya and Pierce... GARY DOUGLAS Age: 56 Vietnam veteran. He lost a leg in the war and was decorated. This guy is awesome. He's got two legs, a caravan packed full of firearms, an incredibly intelligent dog named Flint, and he treats women very kindly. Just awesome. You'll like it. ===================================================================== 4.

Press Triangle and Aya will give you a hint about what to do next. The GPS (Global Positioning System) usually shows you the areas you have already visited. If you find a map of the area, Aya will transfer data to the GPS and you'll be able to visualize the whole area on the map. Dark grey areas are the ones you've never been to. An area occupied by enemies is colored in red. If an area is shown in white, it means you've killed every enemy in it. However, only open spaces will be colored in white. Rooms will always be light grey. Plus, some areas may not be red, but that doesn't mean that you won't be sneak attacked when you enter them. You can't access an area marked with a red X. The arrow represents Aya and the direction she's facing. Locked doors are marked with a key, but you must try to open them in order to make the key appear on the map. A glowing red dot shows your destination. a "T" in a green square symbolizes a telephone. Telephones are save points. Keep in mind that the presence of a save point doesn't mean that the area can't be accessed by enemies. A "B" in a yellow square symbolizes a storage box, where you can store items you don't need at the moment. Remember that these box, unlike the ones in Resident Evil, are NOT connected. Each box holds the items you put in it, and those items will NOT be found in other boxes. ____________________ ___/4.7 Other subscreens\____________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY ITEM: shows you your Key Items. These are special items such as keys, cards, magazines, etc. They're not counted as regular items, and you can carry as many as you want. Highlight one and press X to use it, or press Triangle to get a detailed description of it. OPTION: in this subscreen you can customize the game. You can change parameters such as SOUND EFFECTS (Stereo/Mono), MUSIC (3/2/1/OFF), CURSOR (Memory/Standard), VIBRATIONS (ON/OFF), MOVEMENTS (Walk/Run), CONFIGURATIONS, DEFAULT CONFIGURATIONS. ===================================================================== 5. BATTLE ===================================================================== Unlike the first episode, Parasite Eve II features real-time battles. When you get close enough to an enemy, or aim it from a distance thus revealing your will to fight, the screen will briefly flash and become black and white for a moment, while you hear a heartbeat. Then, the battle will begin. In the top left corner of the screen you can see Aya's current HP and MP. If the GPS is attached to your armor, a motion detector will be shown in the top right corner of the screen. Aya is in the center of the detector; the top half of the circle is the area she's facing, while the bottom half is the area behind her. Enemies are represented by yellow dots; if you target an enemy, the dot representing it will turn purple. In the bottom right corner you'll see your current ammo. If you press Square, Aya will target the closest enemy. Tap Square to switch between targets, from the closest to the farthest. If you hold Square and press Left or Right, the target will move in that direction, allowing you to target the enemy of your choice. In some screens you'll find some background parts that can be shot, such as pipes, electric cords, etc. You can usually shoot them to affect the enemy. Press R1 to shoot the targeted enemy. A number will appear, showing the damage received by the enemy. If an enemy is not targeted but it gets between you and your target, it will be hit as well. If the targeted enemy is hiding behind something, Aya will shoot it anyway and waste ammo, so be sure there's nothing between you and the enemy. Some weapons have more than one attack. In this case, press R2 to use the secondary attack. If this attack uses different ammo than the main attack, both ammo will be shown onscreen. When you run out of ammo, press R1 to reload. If you have any attached ammo, you can reload at any moment during the battle. Be aware that if you get hit while reloading, your weapon will not be reloaded. You need a couple of seconds to reload, so get some distance between you and the enemy if you run out of ammo. If you want to use different ammo for your current weapon, you need to attach them to the armor and select them on the Attachments window. Each weapon shoots within a specific range. The closer the enemy, the greater the damage. The only exceptions to this are long range rifles and grenades. Press Triangle to visualize the available Parasite Energies in the bottom right corner of the screen. Press Left and Right to choose one. Its action range will be shown in green on the motion detector. Press X to use the selected Energy and the ATP bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. When it's fully depleted, Aya will use the Parasite Energy. She can't move while combining ATP, and if you get hit the summoning of the Parasite Energy will be stopped. Some enemies can immobilize you: should this happen, rapidly press the D-Pad to break free. After the battle you earn a certain amount of EXP, BP, MP and sometimes HP. Some Battles will earn you an item, which you can take or waste, or exchange with one you already have. If you run away during the battle, you will lose 10 BP, but you will also get 1 MP. However, there are certain situations when you can get out of the location without starting a battle; in this case, you don't lose BP even if there are enemies nearby. Some enemies can inflict you a status ailment. When this happens, the status ailment icon will be shown below the HP/MP window in the top left corner of the screen. There are 6 different status ailments: _____ / \ SILENCE: Aya can't use Parasite Energy. Can be cured with | ----- | a Sedative. \_ __/ \/ \ _____ / ___ \ CONFUSION: controlling Aya's movements becomes difficult. | |_/ | | Can be cured with a Sedative, or with Metabolism PE. \___/_/ // // _/\_/\_ BERSERKER: the power of the weapons increases, but you | | lose HP while attacking. Only offensive PE can be used, < > and their level is increases by one (3 is always the max | | level). PE uses HP instead of MP. Can be cured with a < > Sedative. |_ _ _| \/ \/ _ |-| POISON: Aya loses HP. If she moves, HP loss is faster. | | Can be cured with an Antidote, or with Metabolism PE. /___\ __ __ \ \ / / PARALYSIS: Aya sometimes stops while moving. Rapidly \ \/ / press the D-Pad to regain some motion capability. Can / /\ \ be cured with an Antidote, or with Metabolism PE. / / \ \ \ \ / / \ \/ / / /\ \ /_/ \_\ _ _ _/_\ /_\_ DARKNESS: Aya can't target the enemy. Can be cured with -|_|||_|- an Antidote, or with Metabolism PE. \_/ \_/ Using an Antidote, a Sedative or Metabolism will temporarily defend you from further status ailments. When the battle ends, every status ailment will be cured. ===================================================================== 6. PARASITE ENERGY ===================================================================== The peculiar action of Aya's mitochondria allows her to use special powers called Parasite Energies. These powers belong to the four elements: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. Aya has sealed most of her powers inside her, so only one of them, Pyrokinesis, is available at the beginning of the adventure. Using the EXP points gained from battles, Aya can restore the other PE. Each PE can be upgraded up to level 3. There's a total of 12 Parasite Energies, but only 8 are available at the beginning. The third PE of each element appears after the two other of the element have reached Level 3. ____ ___/FIRE\____________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- PYROKINESIS Lv 1: Fire shot.

ENEMIES ===================================================================== This section contains brief info about the enemies, plus the points you earn from each enemy when you defeat it. It does NOT tell you how many HP the enemies have. --------------------------------------------------------------------- HUMANOID ANMC (STRANGER) Artificial Neo-Mitochondrion Creature. It's the first enemy you meet in the game. Not particularly strong. Its back is its weak point, but you don't really need to shoot them there. Note that there are two types of these humanoids: the first type gives you more points, and is like the first one you meet; the second type gives you less points, and is like the one you meet behind the counter in the Parthenon Cafe after the first Boss fight. Type 1: EXP 42 BP 48 MP 4 Type 2: EXP 34 BP 34 MP 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- BUTTERFLY EXP 3 BP 20 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- RAT EXP 4 BP 22 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAT ANMC (FATTY) Big, though and with an incredibly stretchable arm, but VERY slow. Takes a lot of hits, but attack from a distance and you'll be safe. EXP 152 BP 102 MP 5 HP 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- CATERPILLAR Hmmm... quite an annoying one. They attack in groups and jump towards you. Can take quite a bit of bullets. EXP 6 BP 28 MP 1 HP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- BAT They attack in LARGE groups, and are not easily visible. Quickly press the D-Pad if they grab you, or they'll slowly suck your life away. EXP 5 BP 18 MP 1 HP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- PIRANHA Ridiculously easy if on dry land (don't even move), EXTREMELY painful if in the water, because they move incredibly fast and are hardly targeted. EXP 6 BP 36 MP 1 HP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORSE (CHASER) Aaaahhhhh! How could they even THINK of such a monster? This one almost gave me nightmares. Horse body, but almost human face and RED eyes. Very ugly and quite disturbing. They can sometimes be found sleeping - in that case, you can run away without fighting. In battle, they target you and then charge you at full force, and a hit will knock you down. Shoot once or twice, then get out of the way. It's not easy to deal with two of these at a time, nor it is to fight them in narrow spaces. Pyrokinesis works well. If they hit a wall or a pole while charging, they'll receive moderate damage. EXP 75 BP 50 MP 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------- SCORPION Come out of the sand in large groups. Don't let them get close or they'll sting you to death. They're pretty fast, too. EXP 20 BP 8 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- BABY ANMC Ugh! Another disgusting thing. Crawls on the floor towards you. Explodes if gets close. Explodes if hit. The explosion damages enemies as well as you. There are two types of these: pink and red. Pink: EXP 6 BP 20 MP 3 Red: EXP 8 BP 28 MP 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------- MOTH VERY annoying! They're big and quick, and it's difficult to deal with many at a time. A single burst from the M39R will knock one down, but it's not enough to kill it. Knock down them all and then finish them off. EXP 12 BP 36 MP 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- RABBIT ANMC (SCAVENGER) Much like the Humanoids. No big sweat. Hit them while in mid-air for more damege. EXP 10 BP 62 MP 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- SPIDER ANMC (STALKER) A yellow humanoid spider. If you're too far from it, it becomes invisible and can't be targeted. If you get close, it will swipe at you with its arm. Try not to get cornered by two or more of these things, and shoot fast. EXP 106 BP 36 MP 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- LASERS There are many type of lasers. They all pinpoint you before shooting. Some hit you with a laser and some with a burst of bullets. Some of them can paralyze/confuse/silence you. Red: EXP 21 BP 33 MP 1.5 Blue: EXP 19 BP 22 MP 1 Green: EXP 15 BP 0 MP 0 Shooters: EXP 15 BP 0 MP 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- SLIMES These things are a pain. They can't be harmed by bullets, so you need M4A1 attachments or Grenades to beat them. Parasite Energies also work, especially Necrosis, which inflicts insane damage. However, if you use PE they'll all converge on you. Don't get hit or they'll silence you. The red ones put you in Berserker status, and are MUCH tougher. Blue: EXP 8 BP 64 MP 7 Red: EXP 16 BP 420 MP 30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- HYDRA These are monsters that live in the water. They stretch out their necks and spit electricity at you. However, they're very easy to defeat. Just remember they often attack in groups. EXP 70 BP 88 MP 3 HP 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- WHITE WORM Not much to say. Jumps towards you. Quite resistant. EXP 16 BP 63 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- LAUGHING WORM This one jumps too, but is easily beat. EXP 20 BP 40 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- CRAWLING HUMANOID ANMC It crawls on the floor. Has LONG arms to swipe you from distance, so beware. EXP 15 BP 35 MP 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- GREEN WORM EXP 6 BP 26 MP 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- GREEN FAT ANMC Tougher than the normal one. Often falls to the floor. EXP 204 BP 152 MP 6 --------------------------------------------------------------------- HANGING HUMANOID ANMC This one hangs from the ceiling and pipes like a monkey. Shoot it and it will fall to the floor. EXP 20 BP 40 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- BLEEDING ANMC This thing crawls on the floor and bleeds a lot when hurt. Notice that you won't damage it if you hit it in the back. EXP 19 BP 112 MP 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- SHOOTING ANMC AAAARRRGH! I HATE these ones! They walk around as if they were drunk, then suddenly stop and briefly charge a yellow light sphere that they eventually throw with unbelievable precision. It HURTS. And they are TOUGH. Parasite Energy does little damage, and so do weapons. Use the Rifle to have it easier. To make things worse, they can HEAL THEMSELVES (blue sphere) for 100 HP each time! AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGH! Fortunately, the M4A1 Hammer makes dealing with these guys a piece of cake. EXP 105 BP 158 MP 8 --------------------------------------------------------------------- BEETLE This is the most annoying enemy in the game. If you just shoot its back, it takes ages just to defeat one, and you'll never fight less than three at a time. They're unbelievably resistant to ANYTHING. The best way to deal with them is to stun them someway, so to expose their belly, which is soft and extremely vulnerable (two bursts from the Rifle will kill them). Use the M4A1 Hammer, or Plasma, or a Shotgun. But never stay in the same spot for too long or they'll surround you and give you big trouble. Very, very frustrating. EXP 15 BP 53 MP 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- DILOPHOSAUR ANMC Yes, they're very similar to those venom-spitting big lizards from Jurassic Park. They charge at you and jump towards you if you're far from them. Their back is weak, but they're not that strong - their advantage is their speed. The M4A1 Hammer works wonders against them: you'll just have to stun them twice and shoot them while on the ground to beat them. EXP 115 BP 200 MP 5 HP 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- SPEAKERS There's only a few of these, but they're painful. When they "attack", the screen shimmies and you lose 1 MP. The bad thing is that you always have to deal with worse things when you find them, so they have the time to dry you out of MP. EXP 150 BP 0 MP 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- GOLEM Here they are! The big badasses. The most powerful non-boss enemies in the game. They come in four varieties: -PAWN: Green Golems. They either have a sword or a grenade launcher. The former run at you and swipe, and can be easily dealt with using the M4A1 Hammer to stun them. The latter pinpoint you with a red laser, then fire a burst of grenades, which you can VERY EASILY avoid. Take some distance and pound them hard. -ROOK: Grey Golems. They're just like the Green ones, but can Silence you and are sometimes invincible. The sword-armed ones are invincible while using the Silence Ray and while charging you, while the grenade shooters are when they're preparing to shoot you and while using the Silence Ray. The sword-armed ones cannot be stunned. BUT, since they often come paired with the grenade shooters, simply lure them in the trail of the grenades and you'll have a much easier time (and some cruel fun). -KNIGHT: Purple Golems. These guys can give you some problems. They're invisible when you enter the room, so you'll know one of them is there when he grabs you from behind. Frantically press the D-Pad to break free and pump in some bullets. He'll then disappear, and produce holograms of himself. Holograms are the ones that don't try to swipe at you; if one of them does, shoot it. It will periodically use an attack where he shoots a red beam (doesn't hurt you) and then make a running jump. Simply run past its landing spot, then turn around and shoot. Not so hard, actually. -BISHOP: Red Golems. A faster, meaner and Paralyzing version of the Knights. Reloading is hard with one of these guys around, so you'd better have two weapons ready. You also have to time the use of Parasite Energy very well. PAWN: EXP 125 BP 100 MP 5 HP 5 ROOK: EXP 250 BP 400 MP 8 KNIGHT: EXP 300 BP 1000 MP 0 BISHOP: EXP 400 BP 2500 MP 7 ===================================================================== 10. WALKTHROUGH ===================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- D I S C O N E --------------------------------------------------------------------- ____________________ ___/10.1 Akropolis Tower\____________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 4, 2000 8.18 PM M.I.S.T. Center, Los Angeles After the opening credits, Aya will hit the wrong target. Her current training session will end and Pierce will ask you whether you want to continue or not. Refer to Section 13 for details on the Shooting Gallery training. When you're done, choose not to continue and leave the room. You have 100 HP, 30 MP, 200 BP, a M93R, a Tonfa, a GPS, a Medicine 2, and Pyrokinesis PE as your base stats and equipment. After another room, you'll meet Pierce. Hal has just called. Something's going on at the Akropolis Tower. The SWAT agents are already there, but M.I.S.T. intervention is required, and Aya is the only Hunter available at the moment. Go to the Arsenal. If you won something at the Shooting Gallery, your prizes will be here. Jodie will ask you whether you want them now or not. Leave them here for now. Buy some Medicines if you want, but leave everything else behind because you're gonna find plenty of items at the Tower. Now go to the Parking. On the shelf in the northeast corner of the room you'll find a Medicine 3. If you take it, another one will be here when you return to the M.I.S.T. There's also a telephone in this room. When you're done, talk to Pierce and choose to leave, or go back to the Shooting Gallery if you want to give it another try. --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 4, 2000 8.56 PM Akropolis Tower, Los Angeles After the CGI, walk ahead. You can check the body if you want. Go ahead until the game takes over and read the dialogue between Aya and the policeman. Then, go on. Aya will look at the crashed helicopter. Walk to the policemen and witness another cut scene. Now you're in the West Elevator Hall. Just go to the Square (uhmmm... Square... curious, huh?). After the CGI, check the body below the Magnum sign for a MEDICINE 1. Check the north side of the circular structure to find the map of the Tower. Then, approach the telephone. After a brief scene, use the telephone to contact Hal. When you're done, open the door to the East Elevator Hall. Walk ahead until the game takes over (they could have spared that "Freeze!"... after that I was almost expecting to hear them talk... and all I got was written speech... :( ). After the chitchat, you'll receive the CAFETERIA KEY. Go back and climb down the steps to the south side of the room. There's a box of 9MM PARABELLUM on the bench. This box provides you the max amount of ammo you can carry, and you can use it whenever you want. Come back here if you have less than 150 bullets. Also check the body opposite the bench for a MEDICINE 2. Now go to the Patio. A scene will take over, and then your first fight will begin. Kill the Humanoid and talk to the SWAT member. After the dialogue, unlock and enter the Parthenon Cafe. Walk ahead and you'll witness an incredibly disturbing CGI (after I saw it for the first time, I decided I wasn't going to sleep again for the rest of my life). Then, the first Boss battle will begin. -----[BOSS 1]-------------------------------------------------------- MUTANT ANMC This guy is too stupid to be real. Turn around and have a table between you and the monster, then just target it and shoot it down. You'll end the fight unscathed. EXP 300 BP 200 MP 30 Medicine 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check the dead monster to find an IMPLANTED PIECE. Try to leave the Cafe and a scene will take over. After that, go back to the Square and use the telephone. Then, go back to the Cafe. Take the SCIENCE MAGAZINE on the table and leave through the back door. In the Rear Corridor, check the yellow box on the wall to find a BLUE KEY. Enter the Kitchen. There's a SEDATIVE in the fridge, and a MEDICINE 1 on the dead body. Go to the Control Room. Read the paper with the music notes on the wall and take note of it. Go to the console on the north wall and press the + button twice, then use the bottom buttons to have a look around the place. Next, check the east wall and use the Blue Key into the left keyhole. Go to the Fountain. Check the area opposite the statue to find a hidden path that will lead you to a box which contains a PROTEIN. Use it. Unlock the two gates of the Fountain (begin with the west one). Now go to the Forked Road. Check the body for an ANTIDOTE, then go to the Observatory. After the fight, search the body on the bench for a TACTICAL VEST, then go to the Promenade. Kill the two Fatties, then check the small weather station opposite the escalator for some GRENADES. Go ahead and a brief scene will occur. Check the body at the end of the hall for a MP5A5. Equip this new weapon and enter the Sanctuary. After the scene, pick up the RED KEY from the floor, then go to the Roof Garden. Watch the scene, then go behind the statue and pick up the BLACK CARD from the floor. Leave and go back to the Control Room. Use the Red Key in the right keyhole, then go to the Fountain and look inside it to find a GRENADE LAUNCHER. Go to the Bridge and insert the code to raise the bridge. If you can't figure it out, look for it in Section 13. Go on and open the door at the other end of the bridge. Save before you climb up the stairs to the Heliport. Follow the path until you reach the elevator. Check it until you don't get any new comment, then go back whence you came. After a cool dialogue, the second Boss fight will begin. -----[BOSS 2]-------------------------------------------------------- NO.9 Begin the fight unloading your first 30 bullets into him. Watch out for his grenade, because it can paralyze you. When you see it coming, just take a step ahead and it will fly past you. Now turn around the corner, reload, go slightly past the cord and target it. Avoid the next grenade, then wait for No.9 to get close to the cord. When he's close enough, shoot the cord and he'll be hit for 180 HP. DON'T shoot too early or he'll jump past the cord. While he's getting electrocuted, shoot it until you have to reload again. Repeat for the next two cords. At the elevator, shoot the cord and then the steam outburst to finish him. Never get too close if you don't want to taste his sword, and kill him before he corners you or the Flaming Sword will almost surely kill you in one swipe. EXP 500 BP 800 MP 30 HP 30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the elevator up to the helicopter landing pad and watch the cut scene.

Office, Los Angeles Hal listens to Aya's and Rupert's report, then shows Aya an article about cattle mutilations in Nevada. He suspects NMCs are at work there, so he sends Aya to investigate. He'll give you 4 files: INVESTIGATION AREA MAP, M.I.S.T. MANUAL, NMC PICTURE, M.I.S.T. PERMIT. Have a look at them all. Rupert's got a broken arm, so he won't be joining you. You'll have to go alone. After the scene, you'll be in the M.I.S.T. parking. From now on you can use Aya's Sedan trunk as a storage box for items you don't need. Inside it you'll find a RINGER SOLUTION, a BELT POUCH, and a PROTEIN in exchange for the three SWAT combat items you picked up at the Tower. Unfortunately, you can no longer keep those items with you. Talk to Pierce to have some info on that Implanted Piece you found in the ANMC brain. Then go to the Arsenal and buy everything you want. Ask Jodie to store the Shooting Gallery prizes into the car trunk. This is your last chance to test your skills at the Gallery, so do it now if you feel the need to. If you picked up the Medicine 3 the first time around, there's another on the same shelf. When you're done, talk to Pierce and choose to leave. --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 5, 2000 12.13 PM Mojave Desert, Nevada Aya parks her Sedan at the Dryfield Gas Station. There's an infinite box of 9MM PARABELLUM just near the car, and a telephone near the General Store door. The shop is locked, so all you can do is to go to the Main Street. Take some steps ahead and prepare for a nasty surprise. After the battle, explore the nearby rooms. Room 1 holds no items, but you'll find an ANTIDOTE in the cupboard in Room 2, and a MEDICINE 1 in the waste paper basket in the toilet in the same room. Now go to the Parking. Search the place for some BUCKSHOT shells, then enter the toilet. After another gross scene, you have another battle. No items here, but check the wall with the writing "Hasta manana" to find an interesting clue. It sounds like this, more or less: "Riddle me this, riddle me that! How many telephones in Dryfield? After you've counted them, you'll find the next riddle where the red blood sleeps with no sun down the well". It's quite hard to translate. However, you can easily figure out the main clue. Go back to the Main Street, and open the small gate near the ice machine to enter the Driveway. Go to the end of the alley and look for a MEDICINE 1, then check the well for a fight, if you want to kill everything. When you're done, enter the Factory. Check the east wall near the car to find a switch. Move it, then use the buttons on the panel in the southwest corner to clear a path to the Garage. Check Section 13 for the solution. Don't forget the R.SLUG shells in the car's trunk. Enter the Garage. Meet Gary Douglas. He's not happy the FBI sent in such a young girl, but it's better than nothing (MUCH better, if you ask me...). After the usual chitchat, you'll receive the ROOM #6 KEY. Go there. Room 6 has a telephone and a storage box with an ANTIDOTE, two SEDATIVES, and 50 9MM PARABELLUM. Go to the room balcony for another cut scene. Go down the ladder. This is a tricky place. Fight the two horses (no... not those eyes AGAIN!). What's up? Well, it seems the battle isn't over yet. Follow the path until you find a switch and activate it. Now you have 30 seconds to enter the inner area before the gate closes again, so don't stop to fight the horses on the way. When you're in, 6 horses will attack you, 2 at a time. Let them hit the electrified fence, or use Pyrokinesis for easy kills. After the battle, climb up the ladder. There you'll meet Kyle Madigan, who wants to cooperate with you. When he's gone, have a look at Dryfield, then climb the nearby ladder to find ANOTHER dead body, but this time you'll have a very close look at it. Search it for the CORPSE KEY (which opens the Saloon) and a MEDICINE 1. Go back down, activate the switch and get outta here. Open the south door in the Courtyard to enter the Saloon Storeroom. Pick up the CORK MAGNET from the fridge, and look for a MEDICINE 1. Go to the Saloon to find the map of Dryfield and a can of COLA. When you're done with everything, go to the Back Alley. Use the intercom and Gary will tell you to take the GARAGE KEY. Check the nearby grill to find the key, and use the Cork Magnet to get it. Open the Factory and reach the Trailer Coach. Gary will sell you goodies if you need them, and you can use his telephone to save the game. Here's what you can buy here: P08, PA3, M4A1, M4A1 Clip, M9, Grenade Launcher, 9mm Parabellum, Buckshot, 5.56 Rifle, Grenades, Riot, Holster, PASGT Vest, and the usual 1-use items. Choose the second option to go on with the story. After the dialogue, leave the Trailer. Get the WIRE ROPE in the Junkyard and go to the Driveway. Use the Wire Rope in the well and go down. When you reach the Underground Passage, use the nearby switch and go back to the Water Hole, where a PROTEIN can be found in the hole in the wall. Go back to the Underground Passage and fight the next Boss. -----[BOSS 3]-------------------------------------------------------- GIANT SPIDER ANMC He's very difficult to defeat if you're using the 9mm Parabellum, unless you use Plasma to knock him down. If you have the M4A1, he'll go down very quickly. If you have the 9mm bullets, never run directly below him or it will grab you and inflict you heavy damage. Have some Medicines ready. EXP 800 BP 500 Protein R.Slug --------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to the end of the hall and move the switch, then go to the Cellar. Search the box for a FLARE, then go back to the switch and move it again. Go back to the cellar and read the paper on one of the casks near the box to find another riddle: "Riddle me this, riddle me that! How many urinals in the Dryfield public toilet? Did you count them? Then go where the sunlight shines copious in the empty, mysterious house". Now go back to the Passage and climb the ladder. You'll be in the General Store. Look for a COLA and a MEDICINE 3, unlock the front door, and go to the Dilapidated House Street. The first House hides a BELT POUCH, and there are some FIREFLY shells near the door of the Dilapidated House. However, the house is locked from inside, so enter the second House. Check the cupboard on the east wall and you'll easily find out what you need. Go back to the Trailer Coach and say "Listen...". Gary will allow you to use his tools, so go to the Garage and pick up the WRENCH. Go back to House 2 and use the Wrench to open a passage to the Dilapidated House. Check the south wall in the small passage to find the third riddle: "Riddle me this, riddle me that! How many casks in the middle of the dark room? Did you count them? Then go to the room where the one who died at 20 and a bit more is in the picture and look at your reflection". Go ahead and after a while you'll have to fight a familiar face... -----[BOSS 4]-------------------------------------------------------- NO.9 He's back! This time tough, he's much easier. Just take some distance and he'll never hit you. Pump him full of lead and enjoy another cut scene. EXP 800 BP 300 MP 50 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Give your fingers some relax while you witness a flashback and a stupid man getting punished for his dumbness, and the same man trying to apologize. Now you have to go back to the Gas Station. Kyle will come with you and help you against the monsters. He has his own HP bar, and if he dies, it's Game Over. After the scene at the Gas Station, go to the Trailer Coach and choose the third option. Gary will give you the LOBBY KEY. Go to the Lobby if you have some brains. The Lobby is a save room. Now you have to solve a slightly hard puzzle. Check all the papers in the room to find clues, and check Room 1 and 2 as well. Then, use the cash register and insert the code. As usual, the solution can be found in Section 13. Get the BRONCO MASTER KEY and go open the locked doors in the Main Street. Room 3 hides a MP INTEGRATOR 2. In Room 4 you'll find the last riddle written on the mirror: "Riddle me this, riddle me that! Center of the senses below the hair, sometimes smooth and sometimes rebel. To see it smooth, in the Bronco you'll find plates which you'll count. Solved the riddle? Then go to the black, mysterious trunk where the moon shines". Note that the subject of the second sentence is the hair. Room 5 Has another BELT POUCH. Go to the Loft and find the safe in the corner. Use the four numbers suggested by the four riddles to open it and find some HOLY WATER. Find the solution in Section 13. After that, pick up the JERRY CAN and go to the Gas Station to fill it with GASOLINE. Bring it to Gary, who's working in the Garage. Go to the Saloon to have a chitchat with Madigan, then go to Room 6, save, and check the bed. Then you'll be treated to a CGI feast you'll never forget. After that, prepare for a BIG fight. -----[BOSS 5]-------------------------------------------------------- FLAMETHROWER A name like any other... JL Lee's Cannon Mouth is just as good, if not better. Anyway you call it, this guy is huge and can hurt you pretty badly. Use a powerful weapon for this battle, NOT the 9mm Parabellum. Cast Energyshot and go to the northwest corner of the hall. Keep on shooting until you see some fire coming out of the monster's mouth. At that point, he's ready to give out a big flame, so run down the hall, and go back to the corner when he's done with it or he'll try to hit you with his arm as well. After you've dealt enough damage (about 4 clips with the Rifle), Flamethrower will get angry and will often try to grab you. He shouldn't be able to get you if you stay in the corner, but if he does, remember that you can shoot his mouth even when you're in his hand, and from there you'll inflict BIG damage. Apparently, in the Japanese version this battle had some time limit, and if you didn't kill the monster within 3 minutes, Flint the dog would die. Anyway, I've tried to let time flow and killed it in 6-7 minutes, and Flint lived. However, if Flamethrower runs out of fuel and leaves, Flint will die. If you win: EXP 2000 BP 1000 MP 100 Protein Airburst If he leaves: EXP 1000 BP 0 MP 0 Medicine 2 MP Integrator 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you must go and see Gary and Flint in the Main Street. When you're there, Gary will give you the TRUCK KEY. Now go to the Garage and have some serious chat with Kyle. Then, go to the Trailer. If Flint is alive, Gary will give you the M950. He will then sell you anything you need. When you're done, go back to the Garage and talk to Kyle to leave. ********************************************************************* DRYFIELD BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 90 Main Street: 4 Room 1: 4 Room 2: 4 Driveway: 3 Toilet: 4 Parking: 5 Balcony: 5 Water Tower Courtyard: 5 R&G Saloon: 3 Saloon Storage Room: 4 Back Alley: 4 Garage: 4 Junkyard: 4 Water Hole: 3 Underground Passage: 3 Cellar: 3 General Store: 4 Dilapidated House Street: 4 House 1: 3 House 2: 2 Dilapidated House: 3 Gas Station: 3 Room 3: 2 Room 4: 2 Room 5: 2 Loft: 3 Gained items: 5x 9mm Hydra, 3x Combat Flashlight, 4x Flare, 2x MP Integrator 1, 5x Medicine 2, Medicine 3, 3x Firefly, MP Integrator 2, Riot ********************************************************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------- E N D O F D I S C O N E --------------------------------------------------------------------- ===================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- D I S C T W O --------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ___/10.3 The Shelter\________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 6, 2000 12.06 AM Mesa on the outskirts of Dryfield, Mojave Desert Kyle is SERIOUSLY wounded. Fight the first horse and he will leave. Then you'll have to fight 10 more horses, 2 at a time. Don't waste any bullets or MP here - just stay close to the pit near the fence and wait for a horse to charge at you. Get out of the way before you get hit and it will fall to its doom. Repeat for all horses. Don't be pushed down the pit by a horse. After the battle, use the truck to store your items if you need to, then enter the mine and go west as far as you can. When you find the road blocked, go back and enter the Forked Tunnel. Move the lever of the cart to open a path to the OAK BOARD. Take it and use it at the Gorge to proceed. Enter the Refuge. In the Refuge there's an infinite box of 9MM PARABELLUM, and a telephone. Check the panel on the east wall and remove the PLUG. Put it in the second hole from above and move the switch to open the gate outside. Get out and enter the Cavern. -----[BOSS 6]-------------------------------------------------------- SHAMAN HORSE There are two ways to dispose of him. 1) Shoot a barrel when he's close to it. A barrel explodes after 30 HP damage. This does huge damage. 2) Shoot all four barrels, then run after him. After a while he'll jump towards you and miss you. Turn around and shoot him. Repeat until it's defeated. EXP 300 BP 200 MP 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, you'll find the P229 and another PLUG. Then... -----[BOSS 7]-------------------------------------------------------- SKINNED SHAMAN HORSE Same as before, but this time he's tougher and will sometimes run straight towards you. If he does, quickly swivel to one side to avoid him. He's faster than before, but not that much. EXP 500 BP 300 MP 30 Medicine 2 Grenades --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check the motorbike in the southwest corner and try to push the switch. It won't work. Go back to the Refuge and check the panel again. Remove the first plug and put it into the first hole from above. Put the other into the last hole from above. Move the switch and go back to the Cavern. Now push the switch by the motorbike and the door to the Secret Passage will open. Go there. Walk ahead and you'll meet another nasty monster. -----[BOSS 8]-------------------------------------------------------- GIANT SPIDER ANMC II Too many Boss fights in too short a period. Oh well, Square loves these things. It seems this is the sequels place: 2 horses and another spider... they're running out of ideas. Anyway, this one is easy. When you see it coming, use Plasma and it will fall to the floor. Shoot it until it goes back up. Use Plasma again and start shooting again. Voila. EXP 600 BP 300 MP 15 Belt Pouch 9mm Spartan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now go on until you reach the elevator, and use it to go down. Make your way to the Storeroom through the Southeast Passage B1. The Storeroom holds an infinite box of 9MM PARABELLUM and a RINGER SOLUTION on the shelves. Take the north exit and reach the Sleeping Quarters. Have a close look around because this is an important room. Go to the Main Corridor B1, and go to the Shop. In this room you can buy some good stuff, like the NBC SUIT, the PSYCHO PROTECTOR, and the HAMMER. This machine also sells Medicines 2 and Flares. When you're done, use the Black Card you found much earlier to open the Armory. In this room you'll find three infinite ammo boxes for 9MM PARABELLUM, 9MM HYDRA, and BUCKSHOT. Then look for the SP12 in the back of the room, and unlock the door to the Storeroom. After that, go to the Sterilization Room. Here you'll find a telephone and a Storage Box containing 20 BUCKSHOT SHELLS and 8 GRENADES. Go to the North Hall B1, watch the scene and take the elevator down. If you want to kill everything, go down the second elevator and destroy the lasers, then go back up. Go to the Breeding Room and have a look around if you don't like to sleep well. In this room you'll find ANOTHER 9MM PARABELLUM infinite box and a SEDATIVE in the first cell, as well as a COLA just right of the entrance door. Now proceed through the east door and watch a cool scene, then go back to B1 and try to go back to the Main Corridor. The system will try to sterilize you. As soon as you regain control of Aya, turn around and check the Garbage Chute. Choose the second option and share the fate of Luke Skywalker and company (didn't this happen in FFVII too?). When you land, search the garbage for infinite 9MM PARABELLUM and 9MM HYDRA, then proceed and a scene will occur. -----[BOSS 9]-------------------------------------------------------- VACUUM This Boss is quite fun to fight IMO. These are the things he can do: 1) Move both legs, then suck up everything around him. If he swallows you, it's Game Over. 2) Shoot water blasts at you after the vacuuming. 3) Move one leg, then spit green smoke. 4) Scream, then spit Laughing Worms. If he swallows one at the next vacuuming, he'll recover 100 HP. 5) Attack you with its tongue, which puts you in Berserker status. I suggest that you use the Rifle. Take some distance, then aim at his mouth. It will start vacuuming everything. Fire two or three bursts, or more if you can, then run away and shoot until its mouth is closed. Then, aim at his left shoulder and shoot. You will do little damage, but it can make a big difference in the long run. He will then shoot water - look at the shadows on the floor and move out of their way. If he screams, shoot the mouth for great damage, then destroy the Laughing Worms for more points and to prevent Vacuum from recovering HP. Then just keep shooting. It will probably take some steps ahead after a while. This will give you less space to move and allow him to use the green smoke or the tongue attack. Continue shooting and you may defeat him before he gets a chance to do it. EXP 500 BP 200 MP 100 Medicine 3 5.56 Rifle Grenades --------------------------------------------------------------------- Go through the east door, and it's replay time again. -----[BOSS 10]------------------------------------------------------- VACUUM RETURNS Let's put an end to this, OK? Don't waste bullets and just run to the small alcove in the wall. Step on the pressure plate and wait for the platform to raise. Meanwhile, hug the wall to avoid trouble. When the platform is up, run towards the next alcove and aim at his mouth. When he starts vacuuming, shoot. Your goal is to make him step completely on the platform. When he's there, step on the pressure plate in the second alcove to lower the platform, then step on it once more to end the fight with style. EXP 700 BP 200 MP 100 Medicine 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you have 5 minutes to go through the south door. That's a lot of time, so go back to the Dumping Hole and check the new metal box for the MEDICINAL WHEEL. Then you'll be attacked by a horde of small, stupid monsters. Clean the two rooms and get outta here before it gets too hot. Say thanks to Kyle and save if you want, then go to the sewers. Make your way to the ladder and climb it. Check the panel on the south wall and read the clue, which is something like this: "Let rats, spiders and beetles drown, but count their legs, digit the number and lift the lever". Understand? Go to the control panel and digit the code. Check Section 13 for the solution. After the water has been lowered, search the room for an MP INTEGRATOR 2, then get out. Go back to the Upper Sewer and check the new panel, which is about the Full Moon Gate. It says that the code is the age of that moon. Go where the previous ladder was and insert the code, which is found, as usual, in Section 13. Go back to the Incinerator Control Room and save if you want. Now you have to make a choice. You can continue the adventure with Kyle's or with Pierce's help. If you choose Pierce, go through the Full Moon Gate now, but first kill all monsters in B3 and B4. If you prefer Kyle, go to the Elevator Hall B3 and take the elevator up. I'll describe the two routes separately. By now, only the first two pieces of the Pierce route are described. Interestingly enough, if you follow the Pierce route the enemies will give you HP when defeated, which won't happen if you choose Kyle's route. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[KYLE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take the elevator up. Kyle will give you the YOSHIDA CARD and tell you a password, then he'll leave. You're in Elevator Hall B2. Go through the Full Moon Gate and return to Dryfield. Kill everything there, then come back here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[PIERCE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go to the Full Moon Gate and go through it. Kyle will leave you. If alive, Flint will be outside the well. Go to the Water Tank and help Pierce up there. He will give you the LAND ROVER KEY. Go to the Gas Station and open the land rover for a LIPSTICK and a TACTICAL VEST!!! Now go to the ice vending machine, take some ice, and bring it to Pierce. Do this three times to receive a COLA, an MP INTEGRATOR 2, and the OFUDA. After that, go to the Trailer Coach, where Gary has lotsa new stuff for you. The prices are high, but the things are cool. You won't find much more later. When you're done here, return to the Shelter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ********************************************************************* DRYFIELD PART II BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 14 (15) Underground Passage: 1 Cellar: 1 House 1: 1 House 2: 1 Gas Station: 1 Main Street: 1 Room 3: 1 Balcony: 1 Room 5: 1 Toilet: 1 Saloon Storeroom: 1 Water Tower Courtyard: 1 Loft: 1 Garage: 1 (Water Tank: 1) Gained items: Belt Pouch, Cologne ***NOTE: numbers between brackets are for Pierce's way*** ********************************************************************* Go to the Northeast Passage B1 and meet the talking ANMC.

The Bowman card opens the door in the Elevator Hall, while the Yoshida card opens the door in the Northeast Passage. In the Operating Room you'll find a RINGER SOLUTION and some COLOGNE. Now go to the Laboratory, which has a telephone and a Storage Box. Look at the computer on the table. It's been infected by a virus, so even if you know the password (it's on the background...) it won't work. What to do? Take a look at the board and you'll have some reminders of FFVII. Check it again and you'll learn that Yoshida borrowed the magazine "Aeris". Go to the Sleeping Quarters and check his bed for AERIS (SEPTEMBER ISSUE). READ it VERY CAREFULLY, then go back to the Laboratory and write down the new password. You can find it in Section 13. Choose option D and you'll be asked three questions. You must give the correct answer to all of them. I've found these questions: 1) What is the name of the theory affirming that the origins of the human species date back to an African tribe?

Once you have given the answers, prepare for a shocking revelation. Then, the phone will ring. The person you decided to have with you is on the other side of the line, and tells you to join him at the Pod Service Gantry. Go there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[KYLE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the chitchat, go where the telephone is and check the monitors. One of them has some orange buttons. Check the first, the third and the fifth camera angle, and press the Operate button on each. Now go to the first elevator in the Main Corridor B2 (Kyle won't let you go anywhere else anyway) and take it down. After a scene, you're on your own again. Go back up and kill everything, then come back here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[PIERCE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pierce will have a long talk with you, along with a tutorial on how to operate this room. Operate on the first, the third and the fifth camera angle to clear the way to Neo Ark. You will also receive the IMPLANTED TRANSMITTER.

Well, you HAVE to admit that the Observatory must have been inspired by that film, as well as the whole place, apart from the Pyramid and the Shrine. Anyway, let's get going. Take the way south and make it to the west door of the shrine. Check the windows on the way to learn something about your enemies. When you're there, look at the hieroglyphics just opposite the door, and take note of them. They are: ____ RED: 1) Egyptian god 2) _/\ 3) Blank eye 4) |_ _| + Circle YELLOW: 1) Fish 2) Eye 3) X in circle 4) Crown + Circle BLUE: 1) Leaf 2) Knife 3) Boat 4) Acorn + Circle Now go back into the Shrine and enter the chamber opposite the sarcophagus. Check the wall and you'll find a panel that has 15 colored plates and a circle in the lower-right corner. At first, the plates are placed like this: R1 R2 R3 R4 Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 B1 B2 B3 B4 WH WH WH O Now, take a better look and you'll see three colored bars. The red one is diagonal, the blue one is horizontal, and the yellow one is vertical. That's the way you have to place the colored plates, in their right order. You can only align one color at a time. Remember that, after the alignment, the circle MUST be visible. This is kinda hard when you come to align the red plates. However, this is what you get: B1 B2 B3 B4 -> The sarcophagus opens, revealing an MP integrator 2. Y4 -> The alcove is shut and three beetles enter the room from the Y3 ceiling. Y2 Y1 R4 R3 R2 R1 -> The door to the Power Plant is unlocked. When you're done, go to the Power Plant. -----[BOSS 11]------------------------------------------------------- POWER GENERATOR 1 Ack! These things are getting uglier and uglier, aren't they? However, this one's a chinch. Destroy the lasers, then find and destroy the control panel. After that, shoot the big thing and the battle will soon end. EXP 200 (+90) BP 100 MP 100 Medicine 3 MP Integrator 2 (Extra) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now go north and reach the Pyramid. Check the column and turn the stone disc 4 times to align it properly. Then, take note of what you see and proceed to the Pavilion via the Submarine Tunnel. At the Pavilion, check the stone plate and take note of the inscriptions. Return to the Pyramid and check the wall on the right side of the stairs to find out the final clue. Climb the stairs and "dance". If you don't know what to do, Section 13 will tell you in detail. Move the lever and the bridge will move, giving you access to the Island. Go there, open the manhole and climb down the ladder. Fight the 5 Hydras, then it's Boss time again. -----[BOSS 12]------------------------------------------------------- BIG HYDRA When it comes out of the water, shoot it once or twice, then be prepared to run. As soon as you see sparks flying, start running around the room to avoid its only attack. Attack when you can and the battle will be no sweat. You can really make it out unscathed. EXP 400 BP 1000 MP 15 MP Integrator 2 Protein (Extra) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check the reddening pool for a CRYSTAL SKULL. Go back to the Pyramid and move the bridge back. Go to the Garden and look at the stone plate. Take note of everything, then go to the Pyramid again and "dance" to unlock the Power Plant. Go there via the Garden. Check the back of the stairs for an infinite box of HYDRA BULLETS, then climb the stairs. -----[BOSS 13]------------------------------------------------------- POWER GENERATOR 2 This one may be even uglier than the first. Dispose of it the same way. No problem. EXP 400 (+90) BP 200 MP 100 MP Integrator 2 Ringer Solution --------------------------------------------------------------------- After this easy fight, go back to the Shelter. ********************************************************************* NEO ARK BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 42 Speakers Room: 2 Savanna: 3 Shrine: 2 Power Plant: 3 Forest Zone: 7 Woodland Path: 9 Pyramid: 3 Pavilion: 3 Bridge: 3 Garden: 2 Island Bridge: 2 Island: 2 Submarine Tunnel: 1 Gained items: Medicine 2, Medicine 3, 2x MP Integrator 2, Cologne, Ringer Solution. ***NOTE: the two battles in the Speakers Room are counted here, but you must fight there BEFORE and AFTER the first visit to Neo Ark*** ***NOTE: you may count less battles in the Forest Zone and the Woodland Path if you fight two Dilophosaurs at a time. I counted each one of them as a battle*** ********************************************************************* ______________________________________________ ___/10.5 The Underground and the return to Neo Ark\__________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the other elevator to the Speakers Room, and take the elevator you'll find down there. On floor B6 you'll find more Speakers, and the little girl you've seen so many times before. Follow her to the Training Room. -----[BOSS 14]------------------------------------------------------- SUPER SHOOTING ANMC Wow, this is a HARD training! You really have to be a one man army to win this fight. Have with you your best weapons, and be happy if you're a Grenade Launcher fan. First of all, destroy the two speakers. Every time you destroy one, the big guy will be stunned and won't attack. This is also what happens if you use the Grenades, and it will spare you a tough battle. If you don't have the Grenades, take a deep breath and be warned that 800 5.56mm bullets won't be enough for this thing. It takes about 200 Buckshot shells and 200 Rifle bullets to take it down. This Boss has many attacks: - The purple lasers: one, two or three at a time. You know they're coming because he forms a purple sphere. Hug the south wall when you see lasers coming. For the single one, wait on one side until it almost hits you, then run to the other side of the wall. For the double laser, stay in the center of the screen. For the triple laser, try to position yourself between the middle laser and one of the two lateral ones. The lasers cause Confuse and Darkness. - The spheres: he forms a golden sphere, then throws some small spheres at you in a parabolic trajectory. Just move out of the way. - The fire wave: this one is VERY painful. The Boss raises his arms (when he's doing this he receives double damage) and starts to form a red sphere; in the meanwhile, he recovers 80 HP. Then he releases a huge wave of fire that swipes the entire room. To avoid this, run to the boss and touch it. You'll fall to the ground without being hurt, and you'll be invincible for a short time, during which the wave will be released. Immediately after this, aim up and shoot for good damage. This battle is quite annoying since the Boss is so damn tough, but you can make it without being hit too hard. Feel free to celebrate when you defeat it. EXP 1300 BP 500 MP 100 MP Integrator 2 Cologne (Extra) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to the Nursery and watch the long scene. Then, the telephone will ring. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[KYLE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The line goes dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[PIERCE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pierce is at the other end of the line and briefly speaks with you. Then, suddenly, the line goes dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Search the room for an MD PLAYER and a RINGER SOLUTION, then talk to Kyle until he suggests to leave, and try to move toward the exit. Another scene will occur, and you'll be in the Growth Room. Be quick! Search the northwest corner of the room for a PROTEIN, then check the cylinder opposite Eve. Then, talk to Eve and walk towards the elevator. Make sure Eve is following you, and activate the elevator as soon as she's on it. If she dies, it's Game Over. You'll get out of the Elevator in a familiar place. Go to the Submarine Tunnel and meet an old enemy, then the Golems will officially be there for you to fight. Make your way back to the Shelter. You can now return to Dryfield to kill a new batch of monsters. Go to the Pod Service Gantry and switch off the Security Lasers again, then go to the Underground Parking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[PIERCE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go to the telephone in the Pod Service Gantry and check it to find PIERCE'S MESSAGE. Read the message and use the telephone to call Jodie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check the panel right of the east door and pick up the CAR KEY, then check the panel and press the blue and the yellow buttons to bring the jeep to this floor. Check it and choose to use it. Use the Yoshida or the Bowman Card in the panel near the closed gate to open it. Hop on the car. Go to the Vehicular Airlock and check the motorbike for the TEDDY BEAR, then go to the Guardroom and use the switch. Go to the Bulwark and use the panel to open the gates. Get out and watch the cool CGI. ********************************************************************* SHELTER II BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 2 Corridor: 1 Training Room: 1 Gained items: MP Integrator 2 ***NOTE: the battle in the Speaker Room has been counted in the Neo Ark section*** ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* NEO ARK II BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 12 Bridge: 1 Pavilion: 1 Forest Zone: 1 Woodland Path: 1 Pyramid: 1 Island Bridge: 1 Island: 1 North Promenade: 1 South Promenade: 1 Savanna: 1 Shrine: 1 Power Plant: 1 Gained items: 4x 9mm Spartan, 2x Riot ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* DRYFIELD III BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 11 Water hole: 1 Driveway: 1 Back alley: 1 Water Tower Courtyard: 1 Parking: 1 Room 1: 1 Room 2: 1 General Store: 1 Dilapidated House Street: 1 Dilapidated House: 1 Junkyard: 1 Gained items: Airburst ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* SHELTER III BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 30 Main Corridor B2: 1 Elevator Hall B2: 1 Elevator Hall B3: 1 Lower Sewer: 1 Upper Sewer: 1 Water Supply: 1 Reservoir: 1 Southeast Passage B2: 1 Operating Room: 1 Northeast Passage B2: 1 Breeding Room: 1 Septic Tank: 1 North Hall B2: 1 Elevator Hall B1: 1 Southeast passage B1: 1 Storeroom: 1 Main Corridor B1: 1 Southwest Passage B1: 1 Golem Control Room: 1 Secret passage: 1 Cavern: 1 Gorge: 1 Sleeping Quarters: 1 Northeast Passage B1: 1 Northwest Passage B1: 1 Underground Parking Corridor: 1 North Hall B1: 1 Airlock: 1 Vehicular Airlock: 1 Bulwark: 1 Gained items: 4x 5.56 Rifle, 5x Airburst, 2x Riot, 2x 9mm Spartan, Antidote, Belt Pouch, MP Integrator 2, R.Slug ********************************************************************* ______________ ___/10.6 Day Three\__________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 6, 2000 6.37 PM White House, Washington D.C. Just a sad scene here, one you've probably seen in many movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 6, 2000 3.52 PM Mojave Desert, Nevada After the scene, explore the Tent. You can find a map of the Shelter, 4 AIRBURST grenades and a RINGER SOLUTION. Save if you want. Get out. If Flint is alive, he'll give you DOUGLAS' LETTER and an MP INTEGRATOR 2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[KYLE]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk to Rupert to receive the MONGOOSE and 25 MAEDASP bullets.

After the scene, you can go back to the Underground Parking for some extra items at the Shop (if you followed Pierce, you can buy the MM1, which is recommended since it can hold more than 1 grenade at a time, and you have no Mongoose). You can also visit the now-crawling-with-Golems Neo Ark. ********************************************************************* NEO ARK III BATTLE ACCOUNT Total battles: 12 South Promenade: 1 Savanna: 1 Shrine: 1 Power Plant: 2 North Promenade: 1 Forest Zone: 1 Pyramid: 1 Pavilion: 1 Island Bridge: 1 Island: 1 Bridge: 1 Gained items: 3x 9mm Spartan, 3x 5.56 Rifle, 3x Riot, 5x Airburst, Grenades, Protein ********************************************************************* Then, go to the Pod Service Gantry and watch the long scene there. After that, go to the Pod Bottom for the final showdown. -----[BOSS 15]------------------------------------------------------- NEWBORN GIANT ANMC This one may seem impossible at first, but you can beat it with relative ease if you have good timing and know what to do. This colossus provides you several targets: 1 Head 1 Neck 2 Arm Gas Shooters 2 Arms 1 Belly 1 Bottom 2 Tails 1 Core The Core is his vital point, and will be uncovered after you destroy two of the other parts. There are two ways to face this combat: you can either uncover and destroy the Core ASAP, or go for the big thing. First case: cast Lv3 Antibody and shoot down head and neck to uncover the Core. When the Core opens, run out of the way because it will release a tremendously painful beam that can claim 100 HP or more from you if Antibody isn't on. So just run around and when the beam wears off, shoot the Core. Repeat until destruction. Second case: cast Lv3 Antibody. Watch out for the head's purple beam. First of all, destroy the Arm Gas Shooters. Then, the Belly. When you're attacking the Belly, large spreads of paralyzing liquid will fountain at you, so stay on the run. After the Belly, take out the tails. Once you inflict 200 HP of damage, the tail splits in two. Shoot the two parts, then aim the base of the tail and shoot like crazy before the tail reforms. After the first tail, destroy the Bottom, then the other tail. Remember that the tails also spray paralyzing liquid at you. After that, take out head and neck. Watch out for the neck's beam, which is also very powerful. The arms are a pain in the ass, and you also have to deal with that lethal Core Beam. Each arm can be hit for a max of 100 HP at a time, then every other hit will do 0 damage. The probabilities of the arm being vulnerable are random, so just shoot until you're hurting it. If you're using the Mongoose, a successful hit will often allow one or two more shots to hit as well. If the bullet does 100 HP damage with the first shot, change target. The arms will probably take a long time to go down due to their random vulnerability. But when they're gone, dealing with the Core is a piece of cake. Remember, if you get the timing and move correctly, you can't be hit with the head and the neck out of the match. Anyway, this fight will require some time. Head, Neck & Core: EXP 500 BP 1500 MP 200 All: EXP 5000 BP 20000 MP 200 Items: Ringer Solution R.Slug Grenades 9mm Spartan (Extra) --------------------------------------------------------------------- After this seemingly impossible fight, find the glowing light and use the Yoshida or Bowman card on the panel to activate the bridge. A scene will occur and the final confrontation will begin. -----[FINAL BOSS]---------------------------------------------------- PARASITE EVE There she is, once more. But she's not as hard as the two previous Bosses. USE THE GRENADE LAUNCHER. Got it? And use the regular Grenades. Eve has this attacks: - She's not on the bridge, and flies high where you can't see her. In this case (which always occurs at the beginning of the battle), don't stay on the bridge. Eve will come down and pound the center of the bridge hard, creating a powerful wave. But you must NEVER stay on the bridge, so you'll likely see this only once. - She's in the center of the bridge and flies high, then floats near you. If she does this, she'll release some light spheres that will give you all sorts of status ailments. So, if she does this, immediately cast Metabolize. If Antibody is on, the spheres will do little damage. - Colored dots appear around her. If you see them, she will rush where you're standing and disappear in a sort of teleporter, where the screen becomes wavy. Run to avoid the first attack, then wait for a while and start moving again before a section of the screen gets wavy again, which is the signal she's going to burst out again for a double attack (she bursts out, then comes back in). If she hits you with this attack, she'll rematerialize in the center of the bridge. She will do it as well after a number of attacks, usually never more than four. - She's in the center of the bridge and the screen begins to shimmy while your MP rise. When the shimmying stops, a powerful wave will hit you and deplete all of your MP, as well as putting you in Silence. If you hit her for at least 200 HP when she's casting the attack, it will be aborted. - She shines for a moment. If she does this, it means she's creating a clone of herself. The clone is specter-like and will just come to you and slap you, paralyzing you with his attacks. Two grenades are more than enough to destroy a clone. One grenade will sometimes hit it for 999 HP damage! Anyway, remember that the real Eve attacks you as well while the clone is onscreen, so beat the clone ASAP. - Eve floats to you and slaps you just like her clones. Can paralyze you. At the beginning of the battle, run to the end of the bridge. She will fly high and pound the center of the bridge, but will miss you. She will then use the other attacks as long as you don't step on the bridge, which you shouldn't do at any time. When she appears in the center of the bridge she receives double damage, and usually tries to use the super wave. Avoid her attacks and go on firing grenades. It should take about 50 grenades to beat her.

FINAL RANKINGS ===================================================================== Thanks to GameSages for the chart. At the end of the game, your current EXP and your TOTAL BP (including the items you have with you and in the boxes) will be shown. In your next game, you will be able to buy three items determined by your final EXP score, which consists of your current EXP plus the EXP points you used for Parasite Energies. ___________________________________________________________________ | EXP | Items | R | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 400001+ | Gunblade, Ringer Solution, Cologne | S | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| |200001-400000| Hyper Velocity, Hunter Goggles, MP Integrator 2 | A | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| |75001-200000 | MM1, Airburst, Medicine 3 | B | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 72001-75000 | M249, .44 MaedaSP, Cola | C | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 69001-72000 | Mongoose, .44 Magnum, Crystal Skull | D | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 66001-69000 | AS12, R.Slug, Firefly | E | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 62001-66000 | Aya Special, 9mm Spartan, Ofuda | F | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 57001-62000 | Javelin, MD Player, Holy Water | G | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 51100-57000 | Pike, Lipstick, Tactical Armor | H | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 44001-51000 | Hammer, Belt Pouch, MP Integrator 1 | I | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 16001-44000 | M203, Protein, 9mm Hydra | J | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 14511-16000 | M9, M4A1 Clip, Flare | K | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------|---| | 14510- | Monk Robe, Medicine Wheel, Medicine 2 | L | |_____________|_________________________________________________|___| ===================================================================== 15. REPLAY ===================================================================== When you finish the game, you will be prompted to save. The saved game allows you to play the adventure in different modes the next time. These include: --------------------------------------------------------------------- REPLAY MODE Mission level: Easy OO Condition: Good OOOOO Enemy level: Easy OO Supply level: Rich OOOO The same game you've just played, but with some differences: - You start with 1/10 of the EXP and BP you had when you finished the previous game. - You can buy the three items determined by your final EXP score in the previous game. - You can buy the Parasite Energies you had when you finished the previous game. This time, they will cost an amount of BP equal to the amount of EXP used to bring them to the level they were at. So, if you had, say, Lv2 Inferno, you can buy it for 5000 BP. - Parasite Energies require only 40% the regular EXP to be powered up. - When you use a telephone, you can check the statistics of your previous game about Weapons and PE usage, and about the game in general. Check the Weapons, and you'll see how much you've used each weapon. Same for Parasite Energies. About the Game, you can see how many times you completed it, how long it took you to complete, etc. How to obtain? Complete the game. --------------------------------------------------------------------- BOUNTY MODE Mission level: Normal OOO Condition: Good OOOOO Enemy level: Strong OOOO Supply level: Normal OOO Hmmm, this is quite a tough one. No extra items. You start with 1/20 of the EXP and BP you had at the end of your previous game. Parasite Energies require only 80% the regular EXP to be powered up. The weapons do half damage, and Golems will be pursuing you since the Akropolis Tower mission. You also receive more damage. You must be very good in combat to make it. I tried only once so far, but I died after picking up the Grenade Launcher in the Fountain (I suck in survival missions, need weeks of practice to make it, IF I make it at all). Of course, this mode allows you to gain tons of EXP and to get cool stuff in your next game. How to obtain? Complete the game. --------------------------------------------------------------------- SCAVENGER MODE Mission level: Hard OOO Condition: Exhausted OOOO Enemy level: Normal OOO Supply level: Very poor O You start with 10 MP and 1/100 of the EXP and BP you had at the end of your previous game. Parasite Energies require only 80% the regular EXP to be powered up. No extra items. The shops have dramatically changed. Here's what you'll find at the M.I.S.T. arsenal: MM1, Riot, Holster, Belt Pouch, Protein, Combat Flashlight, Spray, Flare, Lipstick, Medicinal Wheel. Anyway, I actually think this mode may be slightly easier than Bounty Mode. It has no bonus Golems, and the enemies are still killable, even if somewhat stronger than before. This means that you don't need to buy weapons just to make it out of the Akropolis Tower alive, and this is proved by the fact that I managed to finish the Tower, while I didn't in Bounty Mode. How to obtain? Complete the game with at least 69001 EXP. --------------------------------------------------------------------- NIGHTMARE MODE How to obtain? Complete the game in Scavenger Mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you finish the game in a mode other than normal or Replay, your final ranking will be upgraded. Complete Bounty Mode for 1 upgrade, Scavenger Mode for 2 upgrades, and Nightmare Mode for 3 upgrades. ===================================================================== 16. CREDITS ===================================================================== Squaresoft: they made the game, and made it quite well too. JL Lee: he provided the most complete FAQ for the Japanese version of the game, which saved me some trouble with the translations and the locations of the items, as well as with the stats of the most hidden weapons. Unfortunately, it seems that the other versions are a bit different. GameSages: they provided the Final Rankings chart and the way to get Scavenger and Nightmare Mode, and the Bonus Ratings for completing the special modes. These saved me a LOT of time. Jeff "CJayC" Veasey at GameFAQs: he posted my FAQs. Me: I wrote this. You: you read the FAQ.
