Not personally verified. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to the first, and as time may tell, only Sneak King FAQ on the web. Those of you looking for a Sneak King FAQ are likely playing on a 360, and this FAQ is focused on getting A-Rank on all challenges so that you can more quickly achieve all 200 points. If you are reading this and are playing on an XBOX, please email me your reason. I honestly can't think of one myself. I have written this FAQ not out of love for the game, but more to help those of you out there who, like me, have trouble bringing themselves to leave a game unfinished after starting it; particularly when achievement points may be involved. In fact, I considered quitting quite a few times throughout the guide when I accidentally got an A-rank on my first try and had to replay multiple times to get a B-rank so I could record what the cut off was for A. The motto of this FAQ is "I played more so you don't have to." Some challenges in Sneak King are graded by time and others by points. If you have played the game, then you may know that one of the most time consuming problems is that you are not notified of the A-Rank requirements until after you have completed the challenge; even then, only if you have already achieved B-Rank. This leads to often having to play a challenge multiple times, given that you were striving for the wrong goal. Or, you may have surpassed the requirements without knowing it, and end up spending a lot more time than necessary waiting in a hiding spot, or for hunger levels to change. I have not included walkthroughs of each individual challenge, as paths are random and there are many ways to complete a challenge even if they weren't. I have however provided some general tips that should help with all challenges, and most helpful to finishing the game quickly will be the challenge summaries. Combining the basic simplicity of the game, my time saving techniques, and the foreknowledge provided by the challenge summaries, you may very well cut your Sneak King time in half by using this FAQ. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3) Controls/Tips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The controls are very simple, you will usually be pressing (A), and onscreen cues are generally present as well. Left Stick or Directional Pad -Move L Stick Button -1st person mode. (You can't actually move in 1st person, so I am guessing this is just a novelty, put in to let you see the world from inside the mask. You can hear the King's unsettlingly heavy breathing as well.) A Button -Surprise/Flourish/Accept B Button -Cancel Y Button -Hide/Unhide/Special Action Right Trigger -Sneak in free play mode (Useless) or Run in Challenge Mode. Right Stick -Move camera R Stick Button -Change zoom level Start -Pause ***** Tips- ***** Be very careful to always select "Continue Game" on the starting menu. It is not selected by default, and I highly doubt you wish to have your progress overwritten. I would not risk signing in to play under a different profile if you have completed any significant amount. Just in case it clears out the old information. I have tried it and it worked just fine, but with all the bugs in this game, and having heard of this happening on other games, I would just choose to err on the side of caution. Camera- I was surprised that reviews did not scream in frustration at the camera. You will be fighting it throughout the whole game. It is y-inverted, so pushing right rotates the viewpoint counterclockwise around the King and vice-versa. It is quite a dizzying experience until you get used to it, as it can move rather quickly as well. There is no way to change this setting. The zoom level is essentially useless. The three options are very much the same. The default is perfectly acceptable throughout the game. *************************************************** Pay attention here!! These tips will save you time: *************************************************** After making a delivery, the camera almost always reverses. So, if you are trying to complete a number of deliveries within a time limit, you can shave seconds off your time by pushing the left stick in the opposite direction from which you would like to move. While running you can correct the camera and proceed. You may find the mini-map useful during this time as well, as you will not necessarily be able to see where you are going for a second or two. Occasionally you will jump in a hiding spot and not be able to see the civilian you are trying to feed. You can often push the camera up or down to adjust your view, but sometimes not, and in any case, your prey may have moved by then. Instead, use the mini-map to tell both where someone is, and what hunger level they are at. The mini-map is really useful throughout the rest of the game as well. It can help you plan your attack, overcome the camera's shortcomings, and overall improve your control of the game. Don't forget about it. People are completely oblivious outside of their vision cones. You may walk right on top of someone, but as some people make abrupt turns, it may be better to stay back a bit. On missions that require you to feed every person without anyone passing out there will only be one person hungry at a time. This means that you can feel free to go slowly and build up points when that is the goal. ******************* Pointers on Points: ******************* If you need a lot of points, the following tips may be helpful. Keep in mind that time and situation may not always allow for their use, at least not throughout an entire challenge. -Flashing red is the hungriest person. This is hunger level 5. The rate of flashing will increase before a person faints, but this does not raise your bonus. -Chain counts are obviously useful, and in levels that specify "any" number of deliveries may be made, or a minimum number, feel free to do a few quick ones to raise your multiplier. Sometimes this will be the only way to obtain the A-rank point requirement. ("Big Surprise" achievement can also be obtained this way.) -Delivering from a hiding spot provides a huge bonus. Especially when combined with the other bonuses. The game doesn't provide a hiding multiplier, instead raising your base rate from 100 to 500 points. Looked at the other way though, this is a 5x bonus. If you have to choose between waiting for a persons hunger level to increase or jumping out at them from a hiding spot at a lower level, definitely choose to jump out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4) Challenge Summaries ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%Sawmill%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm1 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 A-Rank 30000 Time Limit None Restrictions None -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm2 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 1 A-Rank 3 sec Time Limit None Restrictions Use any Flourish -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm3 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 A-Rank 30000 Time Limit None Restrictions Go Unspotted -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm4 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 A-Rank 30000 Time Limit 1 min 30 sec Restrictions None -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm5 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 minimum A-Rank 45000 Time Limit 1 min 30 sec Restrictions 3 Flourishes -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm6 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 minimum A-Rank 80000 Time Limit None Restrictions 3 Flourishes -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm7 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 5 A-Rank 175000 Time Limit None Restrictions Go Unspotted -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm8 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 7 A-Rank 100000 Time Limit 2 minutes Restrictions None -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm9 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 1 A-Rank 10 seconds Time Limit 1 minute Restrictions Level 3 Flourish -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm10 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries Any A-Rank 30 seconds Time Limit 60 seconds Restrictions 10000 pts -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm11 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 1 A-Rank 15000 Time Limit None Restrictions Use Hiding Spot -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm12 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries None A-Rank 2 min 10 sec Time Limit 3 minutes Restrictions Hide in 10 spots -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm13 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 2 A-Rank 30000 Time Limit None Restrictions 2 different people from 2 different hiding spots -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm14 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 1 A-Rank 20 seconds Time Limit None Restrictions No chain count available, 5000 pt single delivery -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm15 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 5 A-Rank 45 seconds Time Limit None Restrictions 5X Chain Count -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm16 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries Any A-Rank 2 min 30 sec Time Limit None Restrictions 50000 pt single delivery -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm17 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 5 A-Rank 55000 Time Limit 1 minute Restrictions Grow chain count to 5x -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm18 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 A-Rank 55000 Time Limit None Restrictions 3 Level 3 Flourishes in a Row -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm19 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 A-Rank 15000 Time Limit 30 seconds Restrictions Go Unspotted -------------------------------------------- Sawmill Challenge sm20 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 20 A-Rank 500000 Time Limit None Restrictions Feed everyone before they pass out %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%Cul-De-Sac%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -------------------------------------------- Cul-De-Sac Challenge cds1 -------------------------------------------- Deliveries 3 A-Rank 31000 Time Limit None Restrictions 6 sandwich supply.

Of course, please make sure you have read the whole guide before asking a question. I would probably still respond, but it is more courteous and saves us both time if you make sure that what you are asking is not already covered. If I get a lot of requests for it, I may add walkthroughs for some of the more difficult missions (cd15 is a toughie, but covered pretty well on xbox.com forums) and good questions will likely be added into a Q+A section. Otherwise this is the final version, and all you should really need. My gamertag is UliUdo; give a shout out if you see me online. Mention the guide if you send a friend request so I know who you are. If you feel the time you saved using the guide was worth money, you can paypal me at the same email above as well. All is appreciated, and maybe I'll even make back my $4 ;-) Honestly, it wasn't -that- bad for a $4 game.... And the achievements were definitely legitimate; much more so than any EA game. (That doesn't mean I'm not very, very happy to hang it up.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6) Legal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This guide was posted on: *GameFAQs.com *achieve360points.com *cheatcc.com *supercheats.com these are the only sites I have given explicit permission to host and display this guide.
