What is Nightmare Creatures? AAA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nightmare Creatures is a port of a PSX game of the same name. Basically it is an Action-Adventure set in a fantasy-horror themed England of 1834. Slash your way through hordes of zombies, werewolves and the likes either as the male Ignatius or as female Nadia, which doesn't really alter gameplay. The adventure part is pretty much reduced to a minimum with some switches to be activated, barrels to be blown up and such. All in all Nightmare Creatures mainly consists of straight-forward action...oh and also quite some gore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2.

General Hints CCC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----------- Characters: ----------- Both characters have the same stats, in terms of speed, health, strength and such, but they differ in their combos and also in their jumping attacks: Ignatius' midair attacks have a higher chance of hitting, which makes him the better choice, but still both characters are easily able to beat the hard difficulty setting. A side note on the combo lists: A comma indicates that the buttons have to be input one after another, whereas a plus tells you to press two or three buttons at the same time. _________ Ignatius:| Triple Strike...: B, B, B Triple Kick.....: A, A, A Temple Strike: B, B, A Scottish Backhand: B, A, B Last Judgement: A, B, C Down Lunge Kick: B, C Left, A Hammer Girl: A, B, B Windmill Slam: A, A, A, B Crescent Kick: B, A A Hammerhead Crush: A, B, C Left Cyclone Leg Sweep: B, B, B, A Judas Jack Knife: A, C Left, C Down Spin Strike: A, B, A, B Ahab's Revenge: B, A, B, A High Kick Feint: B, C Left, B, A ______ Nadia:| Triple Strike...: B, B, B Triple Kick.....: A, A, A Side Flip Kick..: B, B, C Left Bloody Ballerina: B, C Left + C Down Gymnast Strike..: A, Up + A Divide & Conquer: A, Up + A, B + A Back Flip Kick..: B, B, B, A, Up + A Sever Slash.....: Up + B + A Wuthering Slice.: A, A, Down + B Rising Fore.....: A, B, Up + B + A Feet of Fury....: B, A, A, A Cyclone Volley..: A, A, A, B ----------- Adrenaline: ----------- If you let Adrenaline activated in the options menu, you will always have a blue bar on the left end of the screen, above the red health bar. This bar depletes constantly and once the bar is completely empty you start losing health. To fill up your adrenaline you have to defeat an enemy, which always restores the whole blue bar. Actually, the bar does not truly deplete all the time: When the game regards you as being amidst a battle, the adrenaline stays. To make sure the game realizes you as being fighting, attack madly or stand really close to an enemy and block its attacks. A zombie is perfect for some exploration. Usually you would have to cut exploration short due to the adrenaline, but when there is a zombie around, you can defeat him (without tearing him apart) to refill the blue bar, wander around and return to the still active zombie once you run low on adrenaline. This can be repeated as long as you wish to. Later on in the game you might have a double health energy bar, but depleting the first life bar through a lack of adrenaline does cost you a life, so beware. --------- Fighting: --------- I have come up with strategies on how to beat every kind of enemies in this game, but that belongs to the enemy section of this guide. Here, in the fighting part of the general hints section, I will tell you general things to remember, no matter who is your opponent. The most important technique to remember is the baiting: When seeing an enemy, usually the best thing to do is to retreat so it follows you. This both allows for positioning the enemy near a wall and for separating it from other enemies. If you just rush in you can often get close to other opponents while still dealing with the first one and you definitely want to avoid that. Another important technique is the cornering: Many enemies can be beaten relatively easy by repeatedly using Triple Strikes, but it is way more effective and safer to get an enemy into a corner or at least with its back against an obstacle, so it cannot escape, block, counter or be pushed back too far by your attacks so it would get out of your reach. Corner an adversary by cleverly baiting it and by pushing it back with some Triple Kicks. Ignore most combos: For 95% of the game you are perfectly fine with sticking to Triple Strikes and Kicks, Jumping Strikes and some Hard Strikes (against Demons). You only need more advanced combos against groups of Hellhounds and against the final boss, so just learn and use Spin Strike and Ahab's Revenges as Ignatius and Sever Slash as Nadia. ------ Items: ------ Try to break windows and suspicious crates. If it is possible, chances are high to find an item in there. Some enemies carry an item. While the enemies who carry a goodie never change, the stuff they have in store for you does. The item is always random, except for hearts. If an enemy ever gives you a heart after its defeat, it will always do. Unless you desperately need to win a fight quickly or if you definitely know that an enemy does not hold an item, don't push your opponent into the water or into any abyss or defeat him while he is above an abyss, or else you might miss out on an item. Beating a level with 100% of all enemies slain and 100% items obtained rewards you with a random item. Don't be afraid using items while being in a fight: Just wait for a brief safe moment, stop blocking, use the item and watch yourself slowly, yet safely employ it (you are invincible during the item animation). Press and hold the defence button again during the animation to be blocking again, right when it becomes necessary. Don't throw items into the water, even if it is just a small creek, so you don't waste them ---------------- Weapon Upgrades: ---------------- There are three weapon upgrades to be found in the game, with two chances for each, so if you miss one, you can find it again in a later level, but after the second chance, you will have definitely missed it. Every upgrade increases both the damage dealt and the chance of dismembering an enemy, but not only when using the weapon, but even when kicking. Upgrade #3 does not only improve your fighting, but it also gives you a second life bar. Watch out, though, as depleting the first life bar by running out of adrenaline will kill you, although the second life bar hasn't even been touched so far. When the first health bar is emptied by anything different, you are knocked down as if you'd die, but without losing a life. Furthermore if your first life bar is low, no matter how hard an enemy blow is, you definitely won't lose any of the second life bar in a single attack, hence extremely hard attacks possibly do a little bit of damage. These are all the weapon upgrade locations. For more specific information on how to find them, please refer to the walkthrough of the mentioned levels: #1India Docks #1Queenhite Docks #2City #2Marylebone #3Bloomsbury #3Westminster ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. Walkthrough DDD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This walkthrough has been written while playing on hard. If you play on easy, you can still fully stick to this guide, as the only difference between the two difficulty settings is the increased health of all enemies on hard. Sticking to this guide will make you get 100% kills and 100% items in every level. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.1 Level 1 - Chelsea=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD1 Approach the zombie and use a hard strike to easily tear him apart. Blocking and countering somehow isn't as safe as this strategy. Then turn around, open the door and repeat against another zombie. Break open the crate in the floor to find a health sphere. Leave the floor, turn left, shoot at the explosive and break three more crates for another pistol shot and a proximity mine. Move down the street to find some more goodies inside a crate and behind a window at a shop on the left. Go to the closed gate at the end of the path and turn right. As you approach the small gate, a werewolf breaks through, instantly attacking you. So you better block right away. Wait for his attack, then counter with as many B B B combos a necessary to kill him. Once it is dead, walk down the ramp, dispose of another zombie (it drops a goodie) and press the switch in the far right corner. This opens a new passage nearby, releasing a werewolf, so block as soon as you have pressed the button. Kill the werewolf, enter the newly opened passage, pick up the three items and pull the lever to open the big gate outside. Go near the gate and lure the werewolf through it to your side. Kill him first (he drops an item) and then step through the gate yourself to face another zombie. Afterwards, shoot at the explosive near the park gate. There is a zombie right behind the park gate on the right and then another one on the left. Try not to be baited by him too far, as there also is a werewolf behind the ruins. Once all three are finally really dead and not just undead, take a right to a grave. A zombie will come out of it and he drops a proximity mine. Now go back to where you fought the second zombie in the park and walk down the stairs. They lead you to another zombie and to a werewolf jumping around the corner at the stone wall ahead. Once it is safe to, go around the corner to find a health sphere on a crate. Follow the path to a pretty ugly statue of some kind of fiend. A werewolf jumps out of his hideout from behind. Defeat him and go back to follow the path on the outer rim where you will battle a zombie and another werewolf (dropping a power-up). After a while you will see two smaller statues. Run in on the left one and use the B B B combo on it as soon as you reach it, as it becomes alive. Move on. See those other two statues? This time, both of them come alive. Stay left on the path and advance until the left statue starts flying around. Retreat and wait for it to come closer. As you cannot block its spit attack, you should wait for one of these attacks to disappear before rushing in on the enemy. Afterwards, run in on the remaining statue and attack it as soon as it becomes alive (it drops an item). Alternatively you might also use the pistol on the left fiend to kill it safely. Afterwards defeat a zombie up ahead to open the gate behind it, but don't leave the level just yet. Instead, hop onto the low wall at the water and move right to reach a tunnel. Watch out not to fall into the water, though, as it is lethal. Follow to the tunnel to the last zombie of the level and to a health sphere, an extra life and a flask of repulsive smoke. Now that you have found everything in the level, go back to the low wall at the water, walk over it (the wall, not the water ^^) and go through the gate to end the level. ~~~~~~~~~~The workshop is deserted but a note is pinned to the door:~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'I couldn't wait. Crowley suspicious.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Brotherhood is meeting in Spitalfield. HV.'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~Try to catch a brotherhood member leaving the secret meeting...~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.2 Level 2 - Spitalfield=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD2 Smash open a crate, pick up the great health sphere and prepare for a new enemy: The Pepys Monster. Break apart the fence and face the monster. It looks pretty fierce and it definitely is strong but it can be killed the same way as werewolves, hence it is rather easy to beat. Just block an attack, before countering with numerous Triple Strikes. Activate the switch on the right, step through the gate and dispose of another Pepys Monster. Now break open the crates and pick up a health sphere. Moving down the street triggers another monster to attack you. Since there also is a zombie nearby, lure the monster back to the crates to kill it first. When both are dead, open the gate on the right to face the next monster (drops a goodie). Also open the crates for a bottle of repulsive smoke and a window on the left for another item. See those bushes in a corner? Shred them to pieces to reveal a hidden passage containing some items. Get back onto the main street and take a right. A new kind of enemy awaits you again: The Docker. These creatures are strong and they can withstand quite a lot, but still the same technique as against werewolves and Pepys Monsters works perfectly. Once it is dead, smash the wooden gates on the left, kill two zombies and pick up the item one of them drops. Stick to the right wall as you move on to avoid the pile of crates the next Pepys Monster is about to crash down on you. Kill it and move on to the intersection. Go left to avoid another pile of crates and turn around to face a Pepys Monster. Kill a Docker and a zombie to clear a yard with two crates that contain health spheres. Take a right, defeat a zombie and a Pepys Monster. The wall straight ahead has a somewhat hidden passage, leading to another monster (it drops an item), an extra life, a proximity mine, a pistol and some TNT. Once you've grabbed everything, go back to the yard and move straight on. Quickly dispose of the monster and then of the zombie, as a Docker is approaching in your back. Alternatively you can also approach the monster and retreat far away to kill the Docker first. Next, beat up a zombie, pick up a pistol in a crate and shoot some explosives. This opens up the way to another Pepys Monster. After defeating it, pull the lever and kill a Docker and a zombie. Move on to a Pepys Monster and bait it back a few steps, because you don't want to get too close to the wooden gate up ahead. Defeat the monster and now approach the gate to trigger a Docker smashing through it. Once it is dead, kill two zombies and pick up the item one of them leaves behind. Around the corner is another zombie which you better kill quickly as a Pepys Monster is about to step out of the fog nearby. Next is another zombie, but then you'll come to a special challenge: A jump over a gap. Don't worry, though. Just run straight to the gap and jump close to the end of the bridge. Luckily the gap is way shorter than your jumping reach. Beat up a monster, pick up its goodie and walk a bit further to see some mysterious man running away from you. Do pretty much the same jump twice again and dispose of your final Pepys Monster in this level. Smash the wooden window on your left for an item and go through the gate on the right to enter level 3. ~~~~~~~The man in gray manages to elude you by fleeing into the sewers.~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow him!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-4.3 Level 3 - Thames Tunnel-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD3 Do a 180 to find a big health sphere. Turn around again and carefully approach the wagon as some rubble is about to rain down from the ceiling. Attack the wagon to push it at the pile of debris further ahead, clearing the path in an explosion. A bit down the tunnel a Docker bursts through the left wall. Don't fight it there, but bait it way back. After it is defeated you will know why: A little bit past the wall the Docker came through is a new kind of enemy, the Insect. First of all, also bait this enemy back a bit. Then, basically you can use the same technique as against Dockers, monsters and werewolves, but due to their speed you might want to block yourself whenever they block the last blow of one of your combos, instead of keeping up the button smashing. Move on, dodge some debris, a bit and kill another Docker and pick up the items in the niche it came from. Afterwards, move on down the tunnel and fight another Insect and pick up its item. Take a left at the split and defeat yet another Docker bursting through a wall. Don't forget to smash the crate on the left for a bottle of repulsive smoke afterwards. Enter the narrow path on the right; pick up the pistol and use it on the explosive barrels up ahead, blowing up some truly ugly tentacle-wielding creature. Walk up the stairs, which triggers an Insect to leap out of the crates. Once it is dead, smash five (!) crates for lots of goodies. There is a sixth smashable crate around, but prior to feasting on it, look out for an Insect coming from the right. Now open the last crate and also nab the item that the Insect just dropped. Step around the corner to see a Docker. Approach it and retreat to dodge the rubble coming from the ceiling. Once the creature has been struck down, take a left at the next split to find a health sphere. Afterwards go down the straight path. After a while you will see a wooden wall on the right. As you approach it, two Dockers will come through. As soon as they do, run back down the tunnel to bait one of them away. This way you shouldn't have too much of a problem killing both. One of them drops an item. Then enter the big hall on the right, where they came from. Ignore the loose wooden barricade on the right as it is just a more dangerous path to a place you will go to anyway. Instead, break the one on the left, then take a right and activate the lever to open the gate up the stairs. Walk up to enter a big room only guarded by a single Docker. Kill it, pick up its heart and search the room for a stick of dynamite and a breakable crate that contains two items. Leave the loft, take a right at the lever and follow the path back into the sewer system. You have to fight another Docker, but as you do, watch out not to come close to the explosive barrel at the seemingly end of the tunnel or else you might accidentally blow it up. Lure the enemy as far back as possible, hit it several times and as you get closer to the barrel, just stop attacking and lure it back again to repeat the whole thing until the Docker is dead and you can loot its power-up. Ignore the barrel and simply break open the right-most crate for a pistol. Enter the passage on your right, ignore both the Docker behind the window and the explosive barrel on the right, but watch out for the debris coming down. Move on straight until you walk up some stairs. Kill an Insect up here and then another one down the next set of stairs. In the next room is another one of those Thames' Monsters. Just shoot at the barrel left of it once to dispose of it. Stay on solid ground by walking along the left wall towards the Docker you saw earlier. Defeat it and activate the switch to open a gate further ahead. Now get onto the wooden planks and follow them to some more barrels. Shooting one of them hopefully kills the next Thames' Monster, but unfortunately it doesn't always do so (and as Thames' Monsters also count towards the 100% enemies, you have to restart the level if it doesn't die). No matter it if worked out correctly, run over to a wooden barricade on the right, break it and pick up a big health sphere and an extra life. Then leave the room and take a right. Either with some fast jumps (if the Monster is still alive) or at your own pace. As you get close to the wooden fence here, a Docker and an Insect will leap through. Keep blocking until you see a good chance for a counter attack, like when one of the enemies walks away or is behind the other one. The Insect at least is kind enough to drop an item. Sometimes, though, only the Docker crashes through the wooden barricade, while the bug stays back, making the battle way easier. Walk on, dodge two pipes falling down from the ceiling and watch out for an Insect leaping around the first corner after the second pipe. After crossing the small bridge, another Insect rushes in from the first right corner. ~~~Suddenly you hear a crash and the screams of innocent citizens up ahead.~~ ~~~Your quarry forgotten, you advance to find out what new horror has been~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~unleashed...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-4.4 Boss 1 - Sewer Snake-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-DB1 Immediately start destroying the wooden poles all around the hole in which the snake lives. If you're quick enough about it, the boss won't even get a chance to use its unblockable breath. If he does manage to use it, you might want to start over the battle anew. It will save you lots of health as avoiding the breath is pretty hard and it only costs a minor amount of time doing so. Once all poles are gone, the second battle phase begins. Now the snake will try to bite you three times (simply block it), before swinging around its head two times (stay on the outer rim to avoid this). Block an attack and look around for a big health sphere to nab. Only then think about defeating the boss. The snake is vulnerable during its swing attack and while it only takes three hits to kill it (the good old video game boss formula ^^) you might still get hurt quite a bit. The bite attack is easy to block, but when it comes to attacking yourself you are likely to get hit by the swinging heads...unless you stick to my strategy: After blocking the third bite, stand right at the water and start a B B B combo. This should always hit the snake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A single gun shot rings out~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~You rush toward the sound and discover a man dying in the gutter.~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'Crowley, he did this, he betrayed us.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~You must stop him. The Sea Wolf Pub. Abraham Greystone knows all.'~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Find the Sea Wolf Pub!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.5 Level 4 - India Docks=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD4 On the right is a big health sphere and if you look carefully you will also find two crates that contain pistol ammo. Then dispose of three zombies (ah, finally some weak enemies again). One of them drops an item. Those two boxes forming a stair of some sort are there for a reason. Hop onto them to get over the fence and into a storage hall where a zombie surprises you. A Docker will break out of the crates in here, so keep up your guard. When the area is safe, grab the Docker's item, the heart in the gory corner and the two torches. Activate the lever to open the exit, but don't go out just yet as two Thames' Monsters await you outside. Shoot the barrel floating in the water to the left of the right-most monster. Then get out and use the Multi-Gun on the other monster itself. Break a crate on your left for a pistol. Turn back and move on to face a Docker, which you should bait back a bit, so you won't get close to a Thames' Monster. Afterwards, smash another crate for a goodie and use the Multi-Gun on the tentacle creature. Up on some stairs you can see a bunch of barrels which cannot be shot. As you close in on them you will see why: A Docker rolls them down at you. Keep jumping backwards and jump to the right when you get to the small square. Afterwards kill the Docker, which is especially easy on the stairs as they prevent your enemy from being hurled back as you attack it. Proceed to a wooden gate, open it and wait for the Docker up ahead to be hit by some debris falling down. When he is knocked down, attack him fiercely and pick up the item he leaves behind. Go to the gate leading out of the large yard, but both watch out for some rubble falling down there and for a new enemy: The Harpy. Let it come through the gate, block its attack and start a counter combo of your own. Like most enemies, the Harpy also is pretty much doomed once you land your first hit. Leave through the gate and smash the crate on your right for a mine. Step down into the mud, defeat a zombie, walk up the other stairs, smash a box for some health and beat up your second Harpy as well as you third one behind it. Run past the bonfire (but not through it!) and up the left stairs to meet a Docker. Move on to a suspicious stack of crates. They form a set of stairs leading up to a ship, but before climbing up, you should kill a Harpy on the right. Now hop up the crates. You are welcomed by two zombies and a Docker. Probably the latter one will rush in at you so quickly that you won't have the time to deal with either zombie first. So kill the Docker, while keeping an eye on your back. If a zombie gets close, stop attacking and start blocking. Oh and by the way: Stay on the left side of the ship. Pick up the items the Docker and one of the zombies drop before stepping onto the right side, which makes another Docker pop out of some crates. Walk down the stairs after the battle to obtain three items. ~~~~~~~Weapon Upgrade #1~~~~~~~ Walk back up and to the front of the ship. Watch out for the swinging hook, by simply sticking to the far left. Step onto the plank at the front and make a running jump to a platform on the left. This time your jump has to be really precise, so get to the tip of the plank before jumping off. Smash a box for a heart and definitely pick up the weapon upgrade to increase the damage you inflict. To get out of this place, destroy two crates on the right. Return to the crates you used to get up onto the ship and kill the newly spawned Docker. Go right to where you killed the last Harpy and shoot at a Thames' Monster. Past that is another Docker, guarding a pistol in the far right corner. After dealing with him, proceed to see another Thames' Monster you should kill with the Multi-Gun. Then lure a Docker away from the water (it's just safer) and beat the hell out of it with your upgraded weapon. Further along the path you will hear and see three big pendulums lethally swinging around over a gap. Before you do anything else, break open the crate on the right for an item. Then position yourself in front of the gap and wait for a good chance to run and jump over the abyss past the pendulums. It actually isn't hard to do. Break open another crate for some health and activate a switch up some stairs on the right. Go through the gate, dispose of a Docker, then of another Docker (dropping an item), yet another Docker past the next wooden gate and after picking up a health sphere....you guessed it: A Docker. This last one, though, can be approached in way more pleasant way. After picking up the health sphere, walk over to the crates on the right. This will lure the Docker into the two pendulums, thus making him lose quite some health before finally getting through to you. Wait for the correct moment to run past the pendulums yourself. The Sea Wolf Pub is nearby on the right. ~~~~~~~~~You find Greystone slumped in a corner clinging to a bottle.~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'Crowley created this plague.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He told us he wanted to make a superman.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He's using some kind of potion.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~He got the recipe from the grave of Samuel Pepys in Highgate cemetary.'~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Find Pepy's tomb!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geez, here the odyssey of stupid mistakes in the level ending texts has its beginning: 1.Cemetary? 2.What's the guy's name? Pepy or Pepys? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-4.6 Level 5 - Highgate Cemetery-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD5 Again, you get to pick up a large health sphere right at the beginning of a level. After that, kill your first werewolf in a while and as if that wasn't enough, also a second one down the stairs. Pick up a pistol in a niche on the right and defeat two more werewolves. Enter the crypt the last enemy came from. In here are four wooden coffins, each containing something. First open the left one for a zombie carrying an item. Then the centre one on the right for another zombie and finally the one on its left for a pistol and to automatically open the fourth one, setting free a werewolf. Kill it to find an item in its coffin. The big, black stone coffin only contains some harmless bats. Leave the crypt, take a right and tear apart the zombie behind the gate. After picking up his item, move on to meet another werewolf. Open the small gate and smash the crate on the left for a Multi-Gun. Then kill another werewolf, try not to be too shocked as you are knocked down by a stick of dynamite thrown by the mysterious man who actually is Growley (luckily, it doesn't hurt you) and watch out for the first grave behind the corner as a zombie climbs out of it. At least he carries an item with him. Around the next corner you will have to face two Harpies, but fortunately they come one by one. Don't forget to pick up the big health sphere before entering the crypt behind the left gate. Jump back at the entrance as some rubble comes down from the ceiling and kill both a zombie and a werewolf. Try to defeat the zombie first, but if he blocks your attack, bait out the werewolf to kill it first. Once the crypt is safe, open the centre coffin for a torch and also nab the heart on the left. Get out of the crypt, open the other gate and proceed to two zombies. Afterwards deal with a Harpy and then with another zombie climbing out of a tomb on the right. He carries an item. Walk up the stairs and enter a chapel after killing another Harpy. Around the second corner is a werewolf, so be on guard. Break open the first window on the left to obtain a heart. The second window is broken automatically by a werewolf, carrying a power-up. Further go along the left wall to find another breakable window, revealing some ammo. The fourth window is again smashed by a werewolf, but this time he des not carry anything himself. Instead you'll find some health at the window. Try to lure the enemy away from the fifth window as it also gives way to another werewolf. This final one is lootable like the first one. Afterwards you should already see a zombie in the background. Dispose of him, leave the chapel through the left gate and already enter it again to bait a werewolf away from a zombie. Once both are dead, pick up the pistol lying in the near right corner outside of the building. Use it to blow up a barrel, allowing you to enter the underground. Take down a Harpy, a zombie and a werewolf down here. Don't forget to open the two coffins leaning against the wall for two items. Then go up the ramp to attract a Harpy and a werewolf. Hopefully you can bait just one of them down to the underground passage, but probably not. If not, try to defeat the Harpy first as she blocks way less than a werewolf does. Up the ramp and past another werewolf already lies Pepy's tombs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pepys tomb has been plundered.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~There is a message scrawled on the back wall of the tomb.~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'Ignorants, your efforts are in vain.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hampstead Heath is next.'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The red ink is still wet!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Get to Hampstead Heath to stop Crowley's plan!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.7 Level 6 - Hampstead Heath=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD6 No big health sphere around this time; just a Pepys Monster. Nah, the people at Kalisto couldn't be that mean: Smash the window near your starting position for the sought after health item. Then take down the enemy and proceed into the park where you meet another one soon. Defeat it (it holds an item and furthermore there is a pistol hidden in the cave that held the monster) as well as two more down the park. Also check the two windows on the left of the park for a small health sphere. Take a right before the metal fence to meet a new enemy: A spider. These look pretty similar to Pepys Monsters and so do they act. Just block an attack and counter with a bunch of B Button attacks. Afterwards, shoot the Thames' Monster with the Multi-Gun to reach a Flash on the right side of the pond in a stone niche. Return to where you fought the spider and walk up the stairs a bit as you stick to the right wall; a Pepys Monster rolls down some barrels to crush you. Bait it down the stairs, pick up its goodie and also bait down a spider (carrying an item) further up the stairs. If you don't lure it back to you, you will have to battle two spiders at a time, requiring you to constantly block until you see a chance to attack one of them. Otherwise, deal with the first spider up here and then move on to trigger the second one bursting through a wall. Look for a torch inside the room the last spider came from. Follow the trail of lanterns to one more spider and break the last piece of fence on the left side of the second path that leads to an entrance door. Jump down to reach a health sphere on a stone block and a Berzerker behind a window. Get back up and repeat this at the last pathway, break the wooden wall there and kill another spider. Smash your way through the next wooden wall on the right to obtain three items. Get back up onto the street, where you open the gate to another part of the park. Defeat a Pepys monster, search for a pistol on a small pedestal on the left and beat up another Pepys Monster, which drops an item. One Pepys monster later you'll be traversing a bridge. Halfway, though, a Thames' Monster breaks through from below. Use the Multi-Gun and do a running jump over the gap. Down the stairs and past a spider is a window on the left. Destroy it for a proximity mine. As you do, a Pepys Monster breaks through a gate, so get rid of it. Then break apart the fence on the left and clear the path to three health spheres from a spider. Also nab the bottle of repulsive smoke (behind a window) and the mine where the Pepys monster came from. Go up the small set of stairs and bait a spider though the open gate on the right. Once it's dead, take care of the Pepys Monster, destroy two windows for a Berzerker and a health sphere and search for an entrance into a cave in this garden. Bait one of the two spiders in there to the outside to ease the battle. When both are done for it, look for a wooden barricade inside the cave, destroy it and pick up a torch and some health. Hop out of the cave, defeat a single Pepys Monster and take a right at the intersection of the street. Shoot the Thames' Monster on the left and advance on the stone path, staying close to the water to avoid a bunch of barrels being hurled at you by a Pepys Monster. Punish it for his attempt, pick up the item he drops and also take care of a spider behind it. Grab the Flash on a crate nearby and walk out onto the pier. Shoot two more Thames' Monsters, pick up three goodies on the boxes, get back onto solid ground, advance to the left, shoot three monsters and, again, step onto a pier, where you will have to perform the most difficult running jump so far to obtain a heart. Then go back to where you picked up the three items and do another running jump to three additional items. Afterwards get back to the stone path, enter the gate and be prepared to battle against two huge spiders. Fortunately, though, there is nothing special about them except for their size. The best way of beating is them is to run over to the door on the right immediately after entering the arena. First, only one spider jumps in and she does so right where I just told you to position yourself at. So you don't even have to block an attack, but just start attacking yourself. The first spider should be gone already before the second one comes in, so the latter one also should be easy to beat. After the battle, step through the newly opened gate to see Crowley escape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The ever wily Crowley, escapes again!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~You spot him climbing into a boat with another man and making for the~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Queenhite Docks.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Quickly you find a boat and follow him to the docks.~~~~~~~~~~~~ Err, what's the comma for?! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.8 Level 7 - Queenhite Docks=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD7 Immediately start running straight ahead as a Docker is about to appear, endangering you to be pushed backwards into the water. After the victory, hop onto two crates on the left and jump over to a dock where you will find a big health sphere and a heart in a niche. The jump back is really tricky; you cannot jump straight onto the crates, but you have to land just right of them. Make sure to face the correct spot perfectly before you start running prior to the jump. Then turn left, watch out for the pendulum and be prepared to fight an Insect coming around the left corner. Dodge another swinging hook and proceed to a bridge you have to walk under. Lure the Docker up ahead under the bridge so it hopefully gets hit by the debris falling down. Kill the enemy and move on until you see two crates with some red on them. Slowly approach them. As you do, a Thames' Monster breaks through from below, so you better swiftly block and start countering with a hard strike. Jump over the gap and advance to a pile of crates, that contain an insect (carrying an item) you have to fight. After the battle, break a window on the right to obtain a Berzerker. Next, dodge four pendulums (just run past them when the first one passes by), watch Crowley run from you once more and also watch out for a Docker and a Thames' Monster breaking through some boxes. Use the Multi-Gun to both defeat the Thames' Monster and knock down the blue creature. ~~~~~~~Weapon Upgrade #1~~~~~~~ Pick up the Flash in the broken crate near the monster, take down an Insect further down the way and break two more crates for a torch and a pistol. Before taking a right, through the arc, pick up another pistol near the stacks of crates. Kill a Docker, pick up its goodie and find the way through the crates at the end of the stony docks to find two breakable crates, containing a Berzerker and a health sphere, as well as the first weapon upgrade in case you missed it at India Docks. Head back a bit, take a right, shoot a Thames' Monster, hop onto some crates, pick up a pistol inside one of them and shoot another Thames' Monster. Climb down the crates and walk over the provisional wooden bridge to face a Docker. Keep attacking it (which shouldn't be too hard in this narrow place) so it goes down before the second one comes in from behind the first one. Move on and kill three more Thames' Monsters, a Docker and an Insect (carrying an item). Keep up the pressure on the Docker, even though an Insect shows up (it will probably just jump past you) and even though you get into reach of the third Thames' Monster. You could avoid these five battles by jumping onto the ledge next to a stack of crates directly next to the houses, but you want the 100% enemy and items reward, right? Do yourself a favour by not walking over the wooden plank near the last water monster, but by taking the slightly longer path on solid stone ground, because a Docker (which holds a goodie) jumps down from a house, potentially pushing you into the water. Once it's dead, look closely for a damaged wooden fence. Destroy it, shoot a Thames' Monster and enjoy the two healing items before probably being shocked by the sight of the swinging hooks on the left. They look totally unfair, but fortunately they aren't that bad. Like before, just wait for the first one to pass by and then do a running jump over to three power-ups including a heart. The jump back is the same. Return to where you fought the Docker and attack two barrels to make them roll over to a Thames' Monster. The next set of pendulums is a bit trickier than the previous ones. Wait for the path to seem clear, but only move on until you are just in front of the final two pendulums. Let them swing by once more and then really run past them. Fight an insect coming from the left and right afterwards a Docker. Pick up the items both of them carried around. Turn right, hop onto the crates next to the water and drop down to the left. Here, break the right window for a pistol. Jump over to the Docker, push it into the water and pick up a torch in a crate. Next, an Insect jumps out of a window, so kill it and nab the health sphere lying where the bug came from. Continue on the pier, shoot a barrel floating in the water near a Thames' Monster on the right and watch out not to be pushed into the water by a Docker coming from the left. Also watch out not to make him drown either, as he carries an item. At the next arc (past a Thames' Monster), debris falls down again, allowing for a trap for the next Docker (that carries an item). If you don't knock him down this way, bait him way back when battling him as there is another Docker around the corner. When both are dead, shoot a Thames' Monster and end the level by entering the boat up ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Crowley has struck again!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You find a dead body on Crowley's abandoned boat.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Burned papers on board indicate that an Adam Crowley had substantial real~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~estate holdings recorded at a local bank.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Your next destination:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Bank of England to search for clues!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.9 Level 8 - City=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-DD8 Soon after the beginning of the level a spider jumps out of a window on the left. Kill it to clear the way up the stairs on the right to a breakable window and the obligatory big health sphere. Then open the gate and bait out a spider. Afterwards also bait out two more spiders from the right, one by one. One of them holds an item. Go to where the last two spiders came from and enter a really slimy hall, probably being some sort of breeding place for them. Kill two more spiders (lure them out of the cave), activate a switch, bait out another spider from the left (carrying an item) and then enter the main room of this cave for a final spider and four items, including a heart. Leave the cave, smash the fence on the right and a window just behind it for a pistol and then follow the street to some barrels being rolled down some stairs. Dodge them and beat up the spider that is responsible for this. It fortunately drops an item, just like another one further along the path. Shoot the barrels and go back to the great square. Don't worry: You'll get to the area behind the now destroyed wall later on. Search for a big, suspicious window on the left side of the square to reveal a skull. Then meet and greet a new enemy with your weapon: The Faceless Man. First use Triple Kicks to get him pinned to a wall and then finish him off with Triple Strikes. A hard kick might also work fine on them. Follow the right wall to a spider jumping out of a window. Lure it back onto the great Square and defeat it for a goodie. Then again follow the right wall to another spider. After its defeat, turn around and look for a street going off the main square to the right. You'll know you're right if you leave the spider web infested area. Here, kill another spider and look behind it to see some old friend: A werewolf. Forget your good manners and interrupt it in his meal. Lure it back a few feet as another werewolf awaits you in a window not far away. Kill the latter one as well. Pick up the pistol behind the window on the right and face another faceless man (ok, so I had to do it once, but that's it for this pun; I promise ^^). Back onto those spider webs: Go through the hole in the wall. Kill two spiders (one of them leaving behind a heart) and break two windows for a big health sphere, a smaller one and a bottle of repulsive smoke. Also don't forget to activate the switch. Return once more to the big square, turn left and move on while sticking to the left wall, go up and then already down some stairs and bet the living hell out of a zombie and a Faceless Man (dropping an item). Afterwards deal with a spider that carries an extra life. ~~~~~~~Weapon Upgrade #2~~~~~~~ Behind it is another spider, guarding the entrance to a spider cave on the right. In there, use the rubble falling from the ceiling to your advantage by letting it knock down another spider you can now easily rush in on. Loot it for an item. Leave the cave on the other side and look to your right for a great surprise: The second weapon upgrade! Walk out onto the bigger street, break apart a fence on the right and use your new weapon against two zombies and a Faceless Man (which drops an item). See? Now you are on the other side of the wall you blew up way earlier in the level. Walk around the small square to trigger a zombie jumping out of a window. He holds an item and so does the place he jumped out of. Go down the street towards a gate you opened up earlier. Two zombies and a Faceless Man will jump out of three niches. First go for the easier enemies and finally for the man in the trenchcoat. One of the zombies drops an item and in one of the niches you can find a heart. Walk through the gate, defeat the final spider of this level and enter the Bank of England on the left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There is blood everywhere.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~Crowley obviously got here first and made his withdrawal.~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow the trail of blood!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.10 Level 9 - Smithfield=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DD9 You know the deal: Turn around for a big health sphere. Walk over the bridge, slowly move right and bait a Gargoyle back to the bridge...a Gargoyle? Yep; remember the big statue in the first level? That's a Gargoyle. Anyway: Bait it away from the second Gargoyle and be careful as you try to get it with its back to a wall. Attack, block, attack, block and so on until it is trapped. I recommend using kicks against them. Then go on and kill the other Gargoyle the same way. Move on to see two Faceless Men, which you should also bait back at least a bit. Then destroy the corner window for a Berzerker and afterwards beat up a werewolf jumping out of another window. At the next corner, shoot the barrel on the left to reach two items. Then kill another werewolf, pick up its heart and break a window near where the enemy came out for a stick of dynamite. Soon you'll see a gate on the right. Step back after opening it for two reasons: First, icicles are going to rain down on you and second, you should get the werewolf out of the small yard so you don't have to fight against him and a Faceless Man at the same time. Defeat them separately and pick up the proximity mine. Also break the window on the left of the yard for a pistol, a torch and a Freezer. Back onto the main path: A bit down the track you will be attacked by both a Faceless Man and a Gargoyle. Quickly retreat and fight the latter one as it will follow you way faster. Then the battle against the humanoid enemy shouldn't be too hard. Move on, break a big window on the left for a pistol and set free a single werewolf by smashing a wooden barricade at the end of the way. Step down into the meat pit as I call it and defeat another werewolf. Pick up a big health sphere, get out of the pit via some other stairs and attack the wagon to blow a hole into the gate up ahead. Go through it, turn left and bait out a Faceless Man, but watch out for the icicles raining down from the tip of the ceiling. Afterwards enter the stables on the left, eliminate two werewolves and grab the Freezer and the health item. Leave the stables, carefully move on on the snow and first bait back a Gargoyle, then a werewolf and then beat up a Faceless Man. Further down the snowy path and past some ice falling down, a Gargoyle tries to surprise you. Trap him at the bottom of the stairs to make him a quick end. A bit later you will encounter a Faceless Man while still being on the snow and then another one bursting through a wall just as you enter a building. Destroy three windows in here for a mine, a pistol and some health. Run out of the building to avoid the icicles coming down and kill the last werewolf of the level. The next part can be quite tricky: Move in on the frozen fountain to trigger a Gargoyle jumping out of it and definitely lure tit back to where you fought the werewolf before attacking it. After that, move on and bait another Gargoyle and then finally a third one away from two Faceless Men. Once you've turned the snow red continue to the end of the trail of blood and open the gate on the left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The trail disappears into an abandoned church.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~You hear the sound of something large moving around inside!~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.11 Boss 2 - Snowman=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DB2 The second boss is even a lot easier than the first one, but first things first: The Yeti's only attack is to throw snow balls at you...wow...Just stand still, face the boss and whenever he hurls a ball at you, do a side jump. He never throws more than two at once, so there really is nothing to be afraid of. Now to defeating the boss: Drop sticks of dynamite...yeah, there's really nothing more to it. You don't have to aim for anything or wait for the correct moment. Just throw them after having dodged two balls and they will automatically blow up one barrel each. If you run out of dynamite, pick up some TNT scattered in the church, but only right after dodging an attack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Your fight with the Yeti had one positive result:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~You see Adam Crowley's footprints in the snow leading into Regents Channel.~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Find him before others are sacrificed!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.12 Level 10 - Regents Canal=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=D10 Turn around, walk down a bit and - ok, you know what to pick up. Shoot the first Thames' Monster, walk to the end of the right pier and shoot the second one. Further advance on the piers, shoot the third water monster on the right, but don't jump over the gap now. Instead continue straight on and kill a Docker. Walk up the stairs, turn left and go until you see a new enemy: A Big Rat. They're ugly and fast, but not mach of a hassle. Bait it back, block an attack and counter as you always do. Then proceed and kill another Docker before smashing the big window at the end of the passage to find a pistol. Enter the building via the hole and nab four items down in the flooded cellar. Leave the basement and walk straight to a small hut, where a metal girder comes crashing down. Dodge it and break the crate behind it for some health. After a few more steps a rat bursts through a window on the left. Follow the path further ahead and then down some stairs to a rat and a Docker. At least the latter one shouldn't be pushed into the water as it carries an item. Try to get it cornered on the left. Next, enter the building the other rat burst out of. A Docker comes around the first corner, but you better not just fight it; try not to get near the next corner as you strike it down. Afterwards carefully look around the second corner to see another Docker you can easily trap right there in the narrow pathway. Pick up the power-up it drops and smash the crate for a big health sphere and a Berzerker. Around the corner, just before the water, you should start blocking as a rat (carrying an item) comes in from the left. With its death, the way to a lever is clear. It opens a small path near the beginning of the level, so go there. Behind where the big health sphere was, there is a small set of stone stairs leading around the corner. They'll take you back to the first basement, but on the other side of the fence so you get to pick up the heart and the Flash. Leave this place and fight a newly spawned Docker just straight ahead. Go back to the third Thames' Monster and now hop over the gap to where a Docker awaits you. As you fight it, try to stay where you are. Don't accidentally get too far to the left or to the right, because of the rats all around. Once the Docker is dead, break a crate on the right for some dynamite (woohoo, a rhyme...sorry ^^) and battle two rats at a time. One of them holds an item. Another crate at the end of the passage conceals some ammo. Use it to blow up the barrels leaning against a wall. The explosion creates a hole leading into another flooded basement where you get to kill a rat for an item and also nab two items in the left corner. Afterwards smash the three metal plates for some more goodies. Head back to the daylight (or sort of) and run down the straight path to face another rat. Bait it back a bit, as well as another one behind the second one. There also is a fourth rat, but that one can be fought just right where it shows up. Break a crate on your left for a small health sphere. Go back a bit and approach the gate on your right to make a Docker jump out of it. Kill it for a random item. Move on to see another Docker breaking through a metal gate and kill it quickly so you don't risk falling off the tiny plank. Activate the switch, shoot the barrels behind the small gate that has just been opened and beat up a Docker, while ignoring the rat that comes in from the right. Deal with it afterwards and pick up the power-up it leaves behind, as well as five other items on and in various boxes. As you enter the dry canal, be prepared to fight a Docker at its end. Then step up the stairs and battle another one, leaping out of a carriage on the right. Break a crate yourself to find a big health sphere and defeat a rat coming in from the right. Another two single rats later you better first shoot a barrel on the right and then bait a Docker back somewhat to not get attacked by it and a rat at the same time. Proceed to face said rat and after that a final one which at least has an item for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You find yourself at the gatest to the zoo.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~Strange lights flash on and off in the museum at the far end of the zoo.~~ Make your way to the museum, perhaps Adam has arranged a welcoming committee! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.13 Level 11 - London Zoo=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-D11 Nab a big health sphere on your left before entering the big gate that will close after you do. Approach the shack to make a Pepys Monster jump out of it. After its death, walk through the tunnel just ahead until you see a Pepys Monster (carrying an item) coming out of a cave on the right and a Harpy flying in from up ahead. Try to bait the latter one away from the slower ground-based enemy and kill them one after another. Enter the hole the monster came out of and follow the stairs into a cage for a proximity mine. Leave the hole again and move on to the right up to another Harpy. Defeat it for a random item and also break open an entrance into the cage on your right for a pistol and some TNT. Leave the cage, proceed on the right, activate a lever at the left of a small fence and beat up a Pepys Monster breaking out of a cage nearby. Wait for a Harpy to come by and to die by your hands before crossing the bridge. A big piece of rubble blocks the path ahead, so enter the cage you opened up earlier via the lever and kill a spider (preferably by pushing it into the water. Next up is a rather hard jump. You have to land on the small platform on the left and then on the other side of the creek. To do this, you should jump pretty early on, so you basically hop against the small ledge that is on the little island. The jump over to the Pepys Monster is just a standard jump, luckily. Beat up said monster, then a spider bursting through a lattice up ahead and finally a Harpy to get your back clear when entering the spider cave on the left. In here, fight a spider (Who would've thought?) and afterwards move on to trigger another one to attack you. Bait it back to where you fought the last one, as there also is a third spider in a cage on the right in the big room in the cave. Pick up the big health sphere in said cage and push the lever at the end of the cave. Leave the cave, hop over the creek to a cage on the right and break the lattice for a Flash, a pistol and a heart. Hop back and leave the big cage via the newly opened exit on the right where you will immediately face a spider jumping down from above. Proceed on the left, kill a Harpy and then a Pepys Monster on your right. Pick up the extra life it leaves behind. Now it's time for another tricky passage involving water: See the two health spheres on a ledge behind a fence? Position yourself in front of them, hop straight up onto the small ledge at the fence and then hop onto the fence (definitely make sure not to touch the control stick as you do or else you might jump too far). Now jump over to the goodies and carefully pick them up. Don't accidentally do a back jump or anything like that. The leap back is way easier: Just run a bit and choose any direction you like. Cross the bridge and watch out for a Pepys Monster on the left. Move on to a small fountain which you should pass by on its right side. As you do, a Pepys Monster and a Harpy appear, but since the path on the right side of the fountain is way narrower than the one on the left you should be able to attack whoever comes first while not being attacked by the other one. Advance until you see a Pepys Monster in a cage on the right and rush towards it, so you get to attack it while it smashes the lattice. Further along the path you will face a Harpy and then two spiders, both in their own cage. Run in on the right spider and start attacking it when it breaks free. Repeat this against the second one to kill them both safely and quickly. Proceed to the museum where Crowley once again runs away from you. It's getting pretty old, now, right? Anyway, close in on a Pepys Monster on the left, pick up its heart and turn right to see another Pepys Monster. Kill it as well as a third one behind it. While the T-Rex skeleton might be an impressive sight, don't get too near to it as it comes crashing down. Instead, crash some glass in the lower right corner of the hall for a big health sphere. Walk up the right set of stairs, grab a pistol under some glass and leave the level by approaching the gate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Crowley's trap has failed but he had escape planned.~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~Beyond the courtyard lies the path to Crowley's escape route.~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.14 Level 12 - Marylebone=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-D12 Turn around to see a small pond. Do a running jump over it and break three crates for a big health sphere, a Berzerker and a Multi-Gun. Watch out not to hit the two stone ledges on your jump back, so try to stay in the middle. Bait back and kill a lone Docker before smashing ye olde shoppe window on your left for another big health sphere and a pistol. Go around the corner to meet a single Faceless Man. Shoot the barrel after the battle to get inside a long pathway with a great sound to your steps. Watch out for some rubble raining down, shoot a set of barrels, bait back a Docker, kill a Faceless Man and avoid some more debris. Nothing too spectacular in there...except for the sound. ^^ As you leave this place a Docker leaps in to attack you. Easily kill it and move on down the street to the right until you see two Faceless Men. Since they come together, definitely try to finish them off quickly with some hard kicks, or if you happen to get one of them cornered at a column or at a wall you might also use some combos. Grab the goodie one of them leaves behind. Proceed along the right wall to trigger a Faceless Man jumping out of a building. Bait him back before fighting him, as a Docker is nearby. So dispose of them separately and afterwards reward yourself with a health sphere lying where the humanoid enemy came from. Approach a big gate just around the corner, but do so at its right end, because of the Docker bursting through it. Bait it back quite a bit, before attacking it and repeat this with another one behind the now broken gate. Next, bait back a Faceless Man, followed by another Faceless Man and then by a Docker. You know what happens when approaching the Gargoyle statue, don't you? Fight the creature without entering the next area or else you might be in for a hard fight. Loot the corpse for an item and bait a Faceless Man way back. Then battle another Gargoyle and bait a Docker over a bridge towards you as well as a Gargoyle from straight ahead and a Faceless Man from around the right corner. Smash the window at the Brave Heart (I really like how the rather low resolution still allows for so small letters to be read; just look at the street sign a bit earlier) for a big health sphere and the one at Lord Farbury for a Berzerker and a pistol. Afterwards, bait a Gargoyle back down the street, preferably into the dead end the last Faceless Man came from. There also is another Gargoyle who should be treated the same way. One of them carried an item, so pick it up. Also don't forget to smash the last shop window on the left for a proximity mine. Time to continue the shopping tour: Nab a torch at the Werewolf Tavern just around the corner and a heart on the opposite side of the street. Pause the plundering for a short battle against a Docker coming out of the mist up ahead. Bait it up the small set of stairs on the left as he doesn't have any space to dodge here. Then break a window just before the next Brave Heart on the left for a pistol. ~~~~~~~Weapon Upgrade #2~~~~~~~ I know that so far I have never told you to use an item to get past any difficult place (except for battles against Thames' Monsters), but now I do. There are three Faceless Men close together and while you definitely can use the large open space for a good fight by waiting for the correct moment to use a hard kick over and over again, I'd say it is way easier and less tedious to just use a Multi-Gun against them. Anyway, once they're dead, go around the corner to find a weapon upgrade...at least unless you already have the second weapon upgrade. If you thought that the last battle was fierce, think again. Run past some debris falling down from above to enter an arena-like square where you are pitted against three giant Gargoyles. They behave like they always do and they die as quickly as every other Gargoyle does, but there are two major problems besides the sheer number of enemies: They deal way more damage than usually and items don't have any effect, so forget about TNT, Multi-Gun, mines and such. It's the old fashioned way of you and them. I suggest to mainly use some far-reaching combos like Judas Jack Knife as Ignatius to get one of them cornered and ready for some simple combos. ~The carriage driver tells you of a madman who he used to take to Bloomsbury. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Could this be where Crowley keeps his laboratory?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.15 Level 13 - Bloomsbury=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-D13 Like every so often, turn around 180 degree to find a big health sphere. Very soon you will see a Gargoyle and since there is basically no place to corner it without drawing another Gargoyle's attention to you, you might consider dropping a stick of TNT once you see both of them to ease the battle enormously. Stay left as you advance until you see the third Gargoyle on the right, sitting on a low wall. Run in on it to attack him as soon as he leaps down to give him no time to dodge or attack. Then move on and fight another Gargoyle. Since you have plenty of space now and only one enemy at a time, simply use some good combos on it. Smash the shop window at the bend for a pistol and a health item. Then carefully approach the second window on the right behind the lamppost as a Gargoyle leaps out of it. Again, there is plenty of space and no other enemy nearby, so use the space for combos. Don't forget to pick up the Multi-Gun at the window afterwards. Time for the last introduction of a new enemy: The Hellhound. The first one of its kind bursts out loudly out of a fire on the right. Bait it back around the corner and start strafe jumping. Most of the time these creatures use their fire breath against and not their melee attack, so you should be fine when jumping. Once the Hellhound starts spitting fire, rush in on him to land your first attack, which should be just the beginning of a long combo until it is dead. Then approach the window just behind the fire to make a Gargoyle appear. Fight it like you always do and loot him as well as the window he came out of for one item each. A big health sphere awaits you behind another window. ~~~~~~~Weapon Upgrade #3~~~~~~~ Now, the fire seems dangerous? Oh yes, it definitely is. And the passage that is on fire seems suspicious? You're absolutely right. So, you might have already guessed it: Heal yourself and start jumping through the fire to a secret little place where you get to pick up a Weapon Upgrade (which even doubles your life meter) and four other items. Heal yourself again and jump back. Your path leads you down the stairs to a spider opening the green gate, but your newly improved weapon tears it apart in no time. Activate the lever behind you, dodge some debris on the right after entering the spider realm and battle another arachnid, before meeting some old friend again: The Demon. They turned red and have an increased rate of fire, but that's it for changes. Just let it come near and strafe jump before disposing of it with a hard strike. Go up the stairs and again rush in on a Gargoyle as it jumps down to get it under constant pressure. Then turn left, go over to another fire and bait back a Hellhound (carrying an extra life) before fighting it the same way as the first one. This time the fire doesn't hold any treasures, but there is some suspicious window on the left, just outside of the flames: It can be broken, revealing a small room, but you cannot get in there, so don't try too hard, risking getting into the flames accidentally. Take a right and follow the street until you see a Gargoyle approaching. Bait it back or try to corner it in the niche on the right. Either way, pick up its goodie after the battle and smash two windows in the niche for a Multi- Gun, a pistol and a health sphere. A bit further down the road you get to smash two more windows on the right for some health and a Berzerker. Then approach another fire, while watching out not to get too close to the Gargoyle on the far left. For the moment, you only want to attract a Hellhound. Once it is dead, rush in on the Gargoyle and corner it just where it stood before. Walk up the stairs to your right, but only until you see a spider. Bait it around the corner, beat it up and move on to face a second spider, which can be fought right where it appears. Walk along the narrow path, watch out for some big pieces of stone crashing down and at the end and bait back a Hellhound into the small yard. Here you can perfectly dodge the fire breath and corner the enemy. Leave the passage, turn right and dispose of a single spider, before turning left to close in on another Hellhound. Bait it back a bit down the street to trap it at the corner on the left. Next, enter the park via the hole in the wall and immediately prepare for a battle against a Gargoyle and a Hellhound. There isn't really much to say about this battle, unfortunately. Just try to stay away from the fountain and attack whichever comes nearer. Afterwards, jump into the water to make another Gargoyle leave its place on top of the fountain and bait it over to the fire. Both attack him yourself and also hope for it to get some damage from the flames. Once this area is safe (except for the fire, of course) nab three goodies at the fountain. Enter the next area of the park via the path at the left end of the wall up ahead and dodge one breath attack of a Hellhound (which drops an item) inside some small building before easily pinning it down in there. Return to the first section of the park, turn right and open a small gate leading to a Gargoyle (and another window concealing an empty room). Unfortunately, it cannot be baited through the gate, so your best bet is to rush in and push him towards the flames in the back or into the corner right of them. Either way, pick up the goodie he leaves behind and turn left to see a Demon coming by. Bait it back a bit, dodge an attack and counter with a hard strike. Now go past the fence, attract a Hellhound and retreat back to the other side of the fence. Make it follow you, do a strafe jump and trap it at the fence. Move in again to first bait a Demon and then another Hellhound that is killed the same way as the first one. Walk straight through the fire to get close to Crowley, who once again manages to escape. Follow him down some stairs into a basement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Crowley torched his lab before you could search it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~As the neighborhood burns he flees toward to Pimlico Prision carrying a~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~strange flask.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...and yeah, I know that prison is spelt wrong, but that is exactly how it shows in the game. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-4.16 Level 14 - Pimlico-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=D14 Step through the first hole on your right and clear the way to a pistol, a Berzerker, a small health sphere and a large health sphere by simply disposing of a single Docker. Afterwards go back through the hole, turn right, watch the debris falling down and walk through another hole. Avoid the flames, traverse a tunnel and kill a Hellhound in a room at the end to get the goodie it carried with it. Strike the door twice to open it and bait in another Hellhound. Enter the cell block, where you weaken a Docker by shooting some barrels prior to beating him up. Enter the left hole, defeat a Docker, open a gate up the stairs and proceed to a switch. Activate it, shoot some barrels and enter a room on the right, just after walking through the gate you opened with the lever to find four items. Leave the room, take a right up to a hall and fight a Demon on the right, before shooting some more barrels. Slowly move further to bait a Hellhound without getting close to the wooden board on the left. So lure back the Hellhound, kill it and then approach said board to make another one of those red and ugly puppies burst through it. Dispose of it as well as of another Demon nearby, before rewarding yourself with three items up on the crates. Return to where you decided to enter the left hole, but this time choose the right one, shoot some barrels and move on very slowly so you only attract a Hellhound. Bait it back, kill it and move on to first quickly dispose of a Demon and then of a Docker you should bait towards you. Pick up the health sphere on the boxes on your right. Jump over the flames through a hole, turn left and grab a Multi-Gun just around the corner. Close in on some stairs on the left side, dodge the barrels that are rolled down and kill the reason behind this: A single Docker. Further advance on the upper level and bait a Hellhound away from some flames before beating it up and before destroying a window to obtain a torch. Hop over the gap in the bridge, beat up a Hellhound the usual way as well as a Docker just around the next corner. Jump over a fiery pit, break a fence and walk down some stairs to meet a Hellhound. Watch out not to get into the flames as you battle him. A good way to do this is to strafe-jump into the far left corner or the square and to beat the enemy into the direction of the opposite corner. Now run back to where the Docker hurled the barrels at you, walk down the stairs, turn left, bait and fight a Hellhound (carrying an item) and then also kill a Demon. After that, bait back a spider a bit, then a Docker through the next arc. The Demon you'll see next can be attacked right where you see it. Move on a bit, bait back a Hellhound through the arc, then run in on another one. See the fence on the left of the square? Break it to trigger two spiders to come after you. Lure them back and try to corner them separately. Then smash another wooden barricade, kill a spider, grab a pistol behind a window on the left, break another fence, step back to dodge the falling wooden bar and defeat first a Hellhound and then a Demon. Next, bait a Docker towards you from straight ahead, followed by a Demon from the right. Afterwards go right to find a health sphere on a crate near the fire. Approach the left hut to trigger the last battle of this level, against a Docker to be precise. Then head over to the left wall, break a fence, dodge some debris under the arc and run through some flames towards a lantern to end the level. To follow Crowley you will have to get past one of the more colorful inmates, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jose Manual.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Again, there is a typo in the mission ending text: Actually the boss' name is Manuel and not Manual. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.17 Boss 3 - Jose Manuel=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DB3 Welcome to another way too easy boss fight. Ok, this time you are at least very likely to get hurt, but not much. Jose is some serious freak, standing in a niche at the end of a hall. Right in front of him is a fiery pit and to his left and to his right is one switch each. Your task is to activate the right switch to gain access to the left one, which you activate then to get some spikes sticking out of the walls next to Manuel more and more until he gets nailed. As you do, he constantly throws knives all across the hall, speeding up as you progress. First of all pick up the large health sphere right at your feet and activate the switch. Then hop back, turn left, run and jump to the left wall, turn right, jump over to the other switch and activate it as well. Next, jump backwards, turn right, hop over to the right wall, turn left and so on until you are done. You might want to watch out a bit not to get hit by a knife, but as the battle rages on, the knives become so fast and are thrown so frequently that you might just as well simply do the job as swiftly as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The ripper is dead and Crowley is wounded.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Track him by following the blood trails!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-4.18 Level 15 - Westminster-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=D15 Immediately step forward to wipe out a Demon. Then quickly turn around, nab a big health sphere, turn around again and behead two Faceless Men before dealing with another Demon. Open the gate straight ahead, decapitate another Faceless Man and proceed to two Hellhounds. Retreat a bit and try to dismember one of them via a combo to buy yourself time against the other one. Move on along the corridor and kill a single Demon before luring another Demon and a Hellhound way back. Once they're dead, move over to the gate up ahead so another Hellhound (carrying an item) and another Demon open it, rushing in on you. Kill them as well as a Demon coming in from the left. Enter the fiery corridor where the last Demon came from, shoot some barrels and bait back a Hellhound to corner it at the entrance arc to the corridor. Leave the building for the park via the exit on your left and quickly dispose of a Demon as well as of a Hellhound coming in from the left. Stick to the left wall as you circle around the fountain, baiting back a Hellhound and simply fighting the next one where you happen to meet it. Afterwards, return to the fiery corridor and move on to see...Crowley run from you...anyway, kill a single Faceless Man around the first corner, followed by two more in a big hall. Walk up the stairs, defeat a Faceless Man and a Demon and finally corner a Hellhound right at the exit to the balcony. Then move on at the outside, hop over two gaps and beat up a Hellhound (carrying a heart) while ignoring a Demon until the dog creature has died. Next up is just a single Demon around the next bend, followed by two Faceless Men in the weapon chamber. Try to bait one of them out of there before fighting them. Inside the weapon chamber you cannot only have fun watching the two armor suits nicely crash as you attack them, but you also get to restock on ammunition: Break six showcases for one pistol each. Use one of them to blow a hole into a wall with the help of a barrel. ~~~~~~~Weapon Upgrade #3~~~~~~~ Enter the newly found room, behead a Faceless Man, pick up his goodie and a Freezer and find another secret by attacking the bookshelf: It slides to the side, revealing a passage that contains both a big health sphere and a heart, as well as the third weapon upgrade if you haven't already nabbed it in Bloomsbury. Leave this place by attacking the metal plate at the end, hopping down and entering the big hall on the right again. This time, leave it through the doorway on the left, kill a Demon and try your best to dismember a Hellhound, since another one (carrying an item) is close behind. Take your time to dispose of the latter, but don't overdo it, as there is also a Demon near the small fountain. Open the nearby gate to already finish this level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~London is burning!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~As the flames close in, Crowley struggles into Westminster Abbey.~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He is weakening and he has no where to run!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No where? Oh, come on, this game has been made in the US, so why are there so many friggin' typos and such? Oh well, maybe the people at Kalisto thought they could make us believe this was olde English...I dunno. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=4.19 Level 16 - Westminster II=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-D16 Immediately start attacking a Gargoyle. Since there is no good place for cornering, you should just keep up the pressure. This will take the fight over to a Hellhound and two Demons. You might want to try pinning down the Gargoyle at the Hellhound and afterwards corner the doggie at the small corner at the beginning of the level, but your best bet probably is a stick of TNT. After the battle, pick up a big health sphere near an armor suit and also smash that to set free another Demon, carrying an item. Walk up to some stairs, triggering a Gargoyle to come around the corner. Bait it back, leap at it with a strike and keep up the attacks to finally pick up its goodie. Walk up the stairs, kill a Demon and then bait back another Gargoyle. A bit further up the corridor is a Hellhound that can be pinned down at either wall in the passage. Turn left at the corner, easily defeat a Demon and also another Hellhound. Just watch out not to go too far as there are some flames at the end of the corridor. Once the puppy's dead, turn around, open the gate in the background and quickly jump at a Gargoyle to corner it on the left. Loot it for an item, jump over a hole in the ground and watch out for some explosions just before getting to a small hall. Jump through the flames, corner a Hellhound on the right or at the railing (definitely do not push him to the left or else you might end up fighting multiple enemies at a time). Then grab a pistol on the broken clock, kill two Demons (watch out not to defeat them when they are above the pit, since one of them carries an item) and also a Gargoyle. Try to bait the latter one into the flames at the entrance to the hall. No drop down to the lower storey and walk around the flames towards some stairs, leading to a Gargoyle. Either corner it on the stairs or get some distance between him and you before using a jumping strike. Afterwards, nab the four items, open the secret gate behind them and run all the way back to where you jumped down. Bait back a Hellhound into the hall and corner it at the wooden door frame. The Demon behind it is as easily defeated as always. Nab a skull to your right, beat up two Gargoyles with some leaping blows (luckily they come one by one) and pick up a health item. Defeat a Demon around the corner and lure back a Hellhound to not fight it in the burning room or in the broad corridor, but in the small bend, which was made for cornering. Tear apart a Demon and equip the TNT, since a Gargoyle bursts through a window on the right and a Hellhound approaches from up ahead, with nor good place to run or to corner. Use an explosive to render both enemies nearly harmless before attacking them with your weapon. After that, jump over some flames for a heart, before heading back to the broken window and get out onto the balcony. Here, corner a Gargoyle, beat up two Harpies, watch Crowley escape again (at least with a new appearance), find another entrance into Westminster Abbey and kill your last Gargoyle with some leaping attacks before approaching the gate on the right to end the level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Westminster Abbey is in flames.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Trapped on the roof.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Adam Crowley drinks the last of his hideous formula.~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~May God be with you...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This time it's the grammar: Trapped one the roof? Oh...my...probably they meant to put a comma there instead of a full stop, but obviously they didn't. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-4.20 Boss 4 - The Roofs-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=DB4 Crowley has turned himself not only into an ever uglier creature than he already was, no, he also turned himself into a pretty tedious boss enemy. First defeat three of his four Demons (which now have more health and which can be covered in flames, also leaving behind trails of flames), prior to jumping over to a small platform in the south west (check the map for directions) where a big health sphere lies. Then leap back and approach the ledge just before the abyss. Hop onto the stone ledge and jump over to a small tower with another big health sphere on top of it. After you have picked it up, return to the major platform, kill the last minion and await the real boss: Crowley as a big demon, behaving pretty much like a Gargoyle. Do you see his yellow life bar? It'll stay pretty yellow for pretty long, as you can only hurt Crowley with combos and most of them are blocked either always or most of the time. As Ignatius I highly recommend the Spin Strike, which always hits and which is rather easy to perform. Keep blocking and as soon as you have blocked an attack and Crowley comes to a brief halt, start the combo. Then immediately block again and repeat. If you have loads and loads of health spheres left like I did, you can even try to speed up things by starting another combo as soon as the previous one ends. As Nadia, the Sever Slash is a good choice, as it also hits relatively often and as its performance is extremely easy. Once Crowley's life bar has been completely emptied, he becomes absolutely harmless, just waiting for a final hard attack, like a simple hard strike to decapitate him. Congratulations: You have just beaten Nightmare Creatures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That's the story behind the Great Fire for 1834.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~Two unsung heroes saved London from a hoard of monsters.~~~~~~~~~~ They of course received no credit for their struggle as all evidence of their ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~deeds was destroyed in the fire.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~The citizens of London awoke the next day to find the city almost burned to~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~the ground.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~They quickly went about the task of rebuilding the city.~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At least Adam Crowley got his just desserts...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Or did he?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now you can start a new game in any level you want and you can even activate infinite items (including lives) and / or play as a monster (which doesn't work in boss stages). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Items EEE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First up is the name of every item given to it by the manual, then my personal utility rating ranging from one star (crap) to five stars (great), followed by the item's look and finally by a description on what the item does and how to use it for the best effect. +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Proximity Mine | *OOOO | A green and spiked ball | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Place one of these on the ground and wait for an enemy to step in. | |Unfortunately proximity mines are pretty weak and their blast does knock | |down an enemy, but only for a too short period of time as to allow for a | |good second attack. At least the mines won't explode upon you approaching | |them. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Repulsive Smoke | **OOO | A bronze flask with a green liquid and smoke | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Dropping one of these bottles creates a ring of smoke on the floor, which | |does not only hold off enemies from coming near, but it even makes them | |lose interest. They will run off, turning their back to you, hence giving | |you the chance to follow them and to catch them off-guard. Note that you | |can only have one ring of smoke at a time so wait for the first one to | |dissipate before using the next one. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Freeze Spell | ***** | A snowflake | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |The Freeze Spell (or Freezer as I prefer to call it) turns every enemy | |onscreen into a neat-looking ice sculpture, that automatically shatters to | |pieces after a few seconds. There is absolutely no way for the enemies to | |survive the use of this fantastic item. | |Please note that the Freezer has no effect on Hellhounds. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Dynamite | ****O | A red stick of dynamite | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Dynamite (or TNT) damages every enemy that is onscreen when using it. | |Although it only deals little damage and the knock down effect isn't that | |great, Dynamite still is a precious item as it dismembers your opponents. | |It never tears apart a head or a torso, but you better say good bye to | |those arms, hence easing battles quite a lot. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Flash | ****O | A blue lightning | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Flash (aaha, saviour of the universe; I had to sing that ^^) is another | |great item. Upon its use, every enemy onscreen is blinded for ten seconds. | |They neither will attack, nor move or block during that time, rendering | |them absolutely harmless and open for just about any attack you could think| |of, so use the time for some good, mutilating combos. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Firebomb | ***OO | A lit torch | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Why didn't Kalisto just call these things torches? Since they definitely | |look like torches I at least am calling them like that. Anyway, a torch | |does not affect every enemy in sight as some other items do, so you have to| |aim carefully and to be somewhat close to your enemy. In addition a torch | |usually only hits one enemy and you even have to watch out not to get close| |to a burning adversary or else you also get hurt. The big plus of the | |torch, though, is that a single hit is lethal within a few seconds. | |Please note that the Firebomb has no effect on Demons and on Hellhounds. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Gun | *OOOO | A pistol | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |The gun (or pistol) automatically aims at what it thinks to be the best | |target onscreen, mostly being the closest one to you. The pistol is a great| |choice when it comes to blowing up barrels, but other than that you should | |only use it when fighting Thames' Monsters, saving the Multi-Gun ammo. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Multi-Gun | ***OO | A pistol with a triple barrel | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |The Multi-Gun hits every possible target that is on the screen when | |shooting and it also is more powerful than the normal gun. If you battle | |land or air enemies, the Multi-Gun is an ok substitute for Freezers, TNT | |and such, but its best use is against Thames' Monsters. Most of them can | |also be defeated with normal attacks or other items, but some are too far | |away in the water and even if it can be reached by other means, a Multi-Gun| |often is the best way to battle the enemy, as it is safe and doesn't waste | |any of the better items. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Berzerker | ****O | A sharp metal blade | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Using a Berzerker improves your chance of dismembering an enemy upon | |hitting it and in addition it allows to break through the enemy's defence. | |First, block an attack, then use the Berzerker and (as the name suggests) | |run berserk on your foes, but be quick about it as the effect is pretty | |short-lived. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Healing | **OOO | A small yellow energy ball | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |These things are just called Healing in the manual, but I prefer the term | |health sphere. Healing simply sounds stupid in my opinion and therefore you| |won't find that term anywhere in this guide. Anyway, this item restores | |some of your health. Use small health spheres instead of their large | |counterparts. Since the large ones restore one full life bar, you would | |waste at least a bit of their effect in nearly all cases when using them | |unless you have the doubled life metre. Even after having acquired the | |doubled life metre, mainly stick to the small health spheres, since (as I | |already told you in the general hints section) running low on blue health | |(the first life bar) can weaken strong enemy attacks in a certain way. So | |first use up your small health spheres before switching over to the big | |ones. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Super-Healing | ****O | An orange energy ball, bigger than Healing | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Super-Healing (I call it a big health sphere) restores one entire life bar,| |making it way more useful than the normal health sphere. Refer to the | |description of Healing for my strategy on when to use healing items. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Chaos | **OOO | A skull | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Chaos is, as the name shows, a bit complicated to use. Once activated, | |enemies are supposed to attack each other for quite a while, but | |unfortunately they will still go after you as long as you are closer to | |them than anybody else, so it only makes sense using it when there are | |multiple enemies around and even then it is nowhere near as effective as a | |Freezer for example, because you have to have the opponents stand close | |together. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Heart | ***** | What do you expect it to look like? | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Ok, so maybe one could expect this power-up to look like the symbolic heart| |(like the heart-containers in Zelda games), but it really just is a heart | |as you know it from biology lessons. Upon picking up a heart you are given | |an extra-life. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6. Enemies FFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First comes the name, then my personal danger rating ranging from one star (pushover) to five stars (annoying and dangerous), then the outer appearance and finally a description of what the enemy does and how to beat it. +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Zombie | *OOOO | An undead human being | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |These enemies are the first ones you will meet in the game and so it should| |be pretty clear that they also are the easiest ones to beat. They can only | |either step forward to slash you or try to punch you while standing still | |and all it usually takes to defeat them is a single hard strike to cut off | |the torso. Sometimes, though, you only get to cut off the head or an arm, | |which doesn't kill your adversary. Any non-dismembering attack will only | |make the enemy fall down, allowing him to get back up after a few seconds. | |This can be used to your advantage as you still get your adrenaline | |refreshed even when just knocking him down, so it is possible to restock on| |adrenaline over and over again on a single zombie. | |To defeat a zombie, run for him and try to time your hard strike so it | |starts just before the enemy would start his attack. If you're too quick | |about it, your blow is blocked and if you're too slow, you will get hit | |yourself. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Werewolf | *OOOO | A brown wolf, standing on two legs | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |At first the werewolf is intimidating with its speed, but later in the game| |you'll be very happy facing one of these. They are rather weak and once you| |have attacked them and don't stop, there is nothing they can do. | |Simply block an attack and counterattack with a Triple Strike combo. No | |matter if any of the three strikes hit or if you are in the open field or | |in a corner or a tight spot, just do another Triple Strike right away and | |continue until the werewolf is dead, which shouldn't take long. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Demon | *OOOO | A brown or red small Gargoyle-like fiend | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |You will meet these small creatures in Chelsea for the first time (as brown| |enemies) and then again way later in the game, mysteriously having been | |recolored into red. In the first level they sit still on pedestals like | |statues, springing to life as you approach them, but in later stages they | |just fly around from the beginning. Luckily, they don't change their | |attack: They shoot off a ball of fire with extremely limited range. | |Since their fire cannot be blocked, focus a Demon, wait for it to come | |closer, dodge an attack via a strafe-jump and counter with a single Hard | |Strike. | |Demons are invulnerable against Firebombs. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Pepys Monster | **OOO | A light brown creature with 3 heads and arms | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |When these appear in the second level for the first time you are probably | |as scared as I was. Pepys Monster looks like bosses in other games do, but | |luckily it is nowhere near as difficult to beat as it seems, mostly because| |they lack speed and a really good amount of health. They either leap | |forward at you while swinging their tentacle arms or they try to uppercut | |you. | |Keep blocking until a leaping attack gets the Pepys Monster close to you. | |This is the correct moment to counter with a Triple Strike and as long as | |at least the last strike hits or if the enemy has its back at an obstacle, | |you should go on with Triple Strikes until you are victorious. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Docker | **OOO | Think of Marvel's The Thing in blue | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Like Pepys Monster you get to meet these strong and enduring fellas in the | |second level for the first time. They either smash the ground, swing their | |arm or rush towards you, which potentially hits twice, but besides that and| |the increased life energy, Dockers are about the same to play against as | |against Pepys Monsters. | |Block until both hits of a rush attack are blocked and counter with as many| |Triple Strikes as necessary to defeat the Docker. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Insect | ***OO | A big brown bug | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |These appear in the sewers for the first time. They are mostly defined by | |their high speed, both in attacking and blocking and hence their attacks | |are rather wild and a bit unpredictable, making constant blocking even more| |important than against other enemies. | |Block some attacks until the insect is close to you, allowing for a quick | |Triple Strike counter. Since a bug cannot stand a lot of damage and since | |they are good blockers, you might want to return to blocking after the | |first combo. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Thames' Monster | **OOO | Lots of tentacles and a big mouth | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |You will find Thames' Monsters only in the water and for the first time in | |the sewers. They use their tentacles to hit you and as the tentacles always| |keep moving it is pretty hard to foresee when an attack is going to start. | |Luckily, though, this enemy neither is strong, nor enduring and once you | |have attacked it, it becomes nearly harmless unless you stop your assault. | |If the monster is near some sort of platform or solid ground you can go | |close, block until you are attacked and finally get close enough for an | |attack. Easier, quicker and (in case of wet abysses around you) a lot | |safer, though, is to fire off either one Multi-Gun or two normal Guns. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Harpy | *OOOO | A flying woman-like demon | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Already when seeing these for the first time at the India Docks, you | |shouldn't be too scared. Their lack of size, combined with only little | |health and crappy blocking ability makes them easy prey. | |Block an attack and counter with some Triple Strikes. If you want to speed | |up the whole fight you don't even have to block a single attack at all and | |still only get hurt once in a few battles. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Spider | ****O | A big spider...what did you expect? | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |When meeting spiders the first time (in Hampstead Heath) they aren't too | |much of a problem as they usually come one by one, but later on you will | |see lots of them and often in groups. They are good at blocking, they are | |quick and they can take quite some damage, making them rank in second in | |the category "most annoying enemy in the game". | |Against spiders, the best thing to do is to get them cornered before really| |trying to hurt them, so block an attack, perform one Triple Strike and | |block again. Repeat this until the enemy has its back against a wall or any| |other obstacle, so you get to land lots of hits either with repeated Triple| |Strikes or better combos. Yet, you might still get hit yourself a few | |times, but at least the spider probably cannot escape. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Faceless Man | **OOO | A man in a trenchcoat with a big knife | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Seeing the first one of these closing in from the fog in the level The City| |while sticking a really big knife up into the air, can give you the creeps,| |but luckily Faceless Men are rather easy to beat. They behave pretty much | |like Zombies, only with a way better blocking ability, more strength and | |more health, but at least they don't have to be torn apart. | |Yet, this is the thing to aim for. It is possible to corner them with some | |Triple Kicks and then fight them in a corner, while getting hit yourself, | |but it is a lot quicker and safer to run for a Faceless Man and to start a | |Hard Kick just before he would start his attack. Try to learn the correct | |timing, by watching the enemy's animations and listening to the sound they | |always do when beginning an attack. You will want to start your kick right | |before that. If you have picked up all weapon upgrades so far, this will | |either tear off an arm or even the torso in most cases. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Gargoyle | ***** | A grey winged demon | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Up to Smithfield you are safe from Gargoyles, but from then you will wish | |for as few of them to appear as possible. They are extremely fast, they | |block great and (worst of all) they are great at countering. | |If you can easily corner a Gargoyle (and only if it's the only enemy | |around) with some Triple Kicks, you can do so and finish it off with some | |Triple Strikes, but you are very likely to be hurt yourself as well. So | |your best move against Gargoyles is the Jump Strike. Get some distance | |between it and you, run for it, jump off and slash it in midair. In earlier| |battles against them, you will have to connect a Triple Strike right after | |the landing, but once your weapon is upgraded to the maximum, you will | |often dismember Gargoyles with a single jump, thus either easing the fight | |or even already ending it. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Giant Rat | **OOO | A big fat rat...at least big for a rat | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Giant Rats appear at Regents Canal for the first and also for the last | |time. Basically they are the same as werewolves, but with slightly better | |blocking ability. | |Block an attack, perform a Triple Strike and either do another one (if your| |first combo hit) or block again. Alternatively you might also want to | |corner them with a series of kicks before fiercely attacking them. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |Hellhound | ****O | A red dog | +----------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+ |You will meet Hellhounds only late in the game (at Bloomsbury for the first| |time) and even though they are harder to beat than other enemies, they only| |truly endanger you when appearing in groups with other enemies. Hellhounds | |use two very distinguished attacks: A close attack with their claws or | |flame breath, but usually they will stick to the latter one, unless you get| |very close without keeping them under constant pressure. | |Stand still, wait for the Hellhound to approach and to begin breathing | |fire. Now strafe jump, run in close to the dog and start Triple Striking | |it, but watch out not to use a Hard Strike accidentally as that is always | |blocked. Keep doing Triple Strikes until your enemy either is dead or a bit| |too far away from you to be hit, in which case you should dodge another | |flame attack and repeat the whole procedure. | |Well, this is the strategy against single Hellhounds, but if two of them | |appear, you should either use an item or rely on your luck a bit, by | |running in on one of them and using a good combo that potentially slices it| |in halves, like Ahab's Revenge for Ignatius. | |Hellhounds are invulnerable against Freeze Spells and Firebombs. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7. Closing Comments GGG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another disappointment in my books. At first I had a lot of fun with this game. Not for the blood and gore, mind you. No, the setting seemed great, graphics were nice, there were nice effects like falling leaves, you could discover hidden items, the story seemed good and enemies had different patterns to them. But then I realized quickly that this wouldn't last forever: Most levels looked the same, trying to smash every damn window was totally tedious, you see Crowley run away about a trillion times and nearly every new enemy felt the same as others. If I have to block once more or see one of my attacks being blocked, I won't be able to foresee what happens, so I better keep this mediocre game away from my N64 at least for a long while. I'd appreciate any comments, questions, high scores, critics or whatsoever, so please mail me at [email protected] if you have anything to tell me (even misspellings and stuff). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8. Experimental HHH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In some other guides I've seen the author implement the following and I thought "Why not give it a try for your own guides?": If you really like this guide and you think it helped you or entertained you a bit or whatsoever and you feel like rewarding me not only by writing a nice e-mail, feel free to send some money to my paypal account at: [email protected] Of course I don't want to make somebody send me money who doesn't really want to (even if I could, I wouldn't ;) ), but (also of course) I'd appreciate any contribution. Thank you very much for reading this guide and hopefully some more of my stuff on gamefaqs.
