Sonic Unleashed Xbox 360 Walkthrough By sonictrainer Introduction ---------------------------------------- Hi, my name is Ryan aka Sonictrainer and this is the second guide I’ve posted online and the first full walkthrough I’ve ever done for any game. I made this guide to help people while they play the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed. If you own the PS3 Version, I believe my guide may be able to help you as well. (>v<) I finally downloaded the new downloadable levels….and they are awesome! Some of them are very complex as far as shortcuts and length, so I’ll need some time to make walkthroughs for them. Also, if you download the DLC Acts, the Sandra Art Book 40 glitch will be fixed and she will reappear in Shamar. I’m starting another file to make sure I didn’t miss anything…besides Art Book #8’s exact location.

Background Info ---------------------------------------- Sonic’s History =============== Sonic the Hedgehog is a videogame icon who has been around for over 17 years. From his first game in 1991, he has become very popular to gamers in the United States, Japan, and other areas in the world. Besides games he has also had 4 animated series, a movie, and a comic book made by Archie Comics. Right now, Sonic Unleashed is his latest adventure in the videogames. Summary of Opening Movie ========================== In the beginning, we watch as Sonic infiltrates Eggman’s space armada. When Sonic uses the 7 Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic, Eggman quickly tries to escape into a strange looking spaceship. Once Super Sonic catches up to Eggman, Eggman pleads for forgiveness. It seems that the battle is pretty much won so Sonic agrees to let Eggman go and begins to leave. But then Eggman pulls a switch and an energy cage forms around Sonic. The machines that released the cage now separate Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds, as Eggman reveals the space ship is actually some sort of cannon. He then uses the energy coming from Sonic and the emeralds and fires a ray at the Earth. The results of this cause the planet to break up into pieces, floating above the Earth’s core, while awakening a dark energy being known as Dark Gaia. Since Super Sonic was being used to power the energy transfusion, Sonic’s body absorbed some of Dark Gaia’s power causing a new transformation everyone now calls the “Werehog”. Happy to accomplish his plans, Eggman ejects Sonic and the drained Chaos Emeralds, sending them towards the Earth’s atmosphere. Dark Gaia then spreads his essence over the entire planet… Important Characters ==================== Sonic the Hedgehog- a blue hedgehog who’s well known for his superpower: speed. Sonic can run faster than the speed of sound and enjoys travel and going on adventures. He can also use his speed to curl into a ball, spin, and cut through different materials including metal. Although he is impatient sometimes, he always helps those in need and hates to see injustice. His only weakness is water. At high speeds, he can hydroplane, but he can’t swim. Sonic the Werehog- since Super Sonic was being used to power the energy transfusion, Sonic’s body absorbed some of Dark Gaia’s power causing this transformation. Due to the fact Dark Gaia’s power becomes active at night explains why Sonic only turns into this form once he isn’t exposed to extreme sunlight. In this form, Sonic gains more upper body strength and his limbs can expand and stretch out over certain distances. Though he can’t break the sound barrier at night, he can dish out punches, kicks, and other devastating blows in a matter of seconds. Chip- He is a strange little creature that looks like a purple and white dog with wings. Sonic found him after somehow surviving his fall from space and believes that caused his amnesia. Although Chip forgot who he is, he seems to have knowledge of Sonic’s abilities, places, and points out things people would probably miss. He also loves to eat sweet foods and seems to have an endless supply of chocolate. As Sonic saves the planet, Chip will eventually recover his memories and his purpose. Tails (Miles Prower) the Fox- Sonic’s best friend who’s IQ and mechanical abilities almost mess those of Dr. Eggman’s. His real name is Miles Prower but he was given the nicknames “Tails” due to the fact that he has 2 instead of 1. He can use them to spin like a propeller and fly around for periods of time. When traveling long distances or to airborne places, Tails uses his biplane “The Tornado”, which he has modified over past adventures. In this game, he repainted it its original Red color and made a spot for Sonic to stand and fire weaponry at enemies. Amy Rose- A pink Hedgehog who believes she is Sonic’s girlfriend. It’s wise not to make her angry otherwise she will go into her own form of “Unleash Mode” and attack with her Piko Piko Hammer, which she can create out of thin air. She loves Sonic so much that she has mistaken other male hedgehogs for him. Sonic became depressed when she didn’t recognize him in his Werehog form. Prof Pickle- a Professor at Spagonia University that is the leading expert on Dark Gaia. He loves cucumber sandwiches. Dr. Eggman (Ivo Robotnik)- a mad scientist is who bent on taking over the world. His plan to create a place called “Eggmanland” which will be his base of operations as he sends attacks around the world. As always, Sonic is the only thing standing is the way of his dreams. Will that be the same case this time? Dark Gaia- a dark energy being that slept inside the core of the planet. He was awakened when Eggman used the Chaos Emeralds to separate the planet. Since it wasn’t the “Time of Awakening”, he couldn’t maintain his body, so when the planet split into pieces, he did too. Every Dark Gaia minion you encounter during the nighttime is a part of Dark Gaia. Some of them became stronger and changed shape by feeding on people’s negative actions and emotions. 2. Sonic’s Abilities ---------------------------------------- In this game, Sonic has some of his old abilities from past games and some new ones, especially in his Werehog form. This game also has an experience system which can be used to level up his current abilities in either form. Hedgehog =========== This is Sonic’s regular form and the form he uses during the daytime. Moves ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are all the moves Sonic the Hedgehog can do. Move Around: To walk and run move the Left Analog stick in the direction you want to go. Crouch/Spin Kick: Press the B Button when not moving or on a rail to crouch down. Move the Left Analog stick too to crawl. Use this to dodge and to get under places when you forget to slide. Slide: Press the B Button when running to slide under certain areas. Jump: Press the A Button while standing or running to jump. Depending on how hard you press down the button affects how high he jumps. If you press it lightly he hops, if you press it harder he jumps his highest. Homing Attack: The Buttons for the homing attack have been changed in this game. First press the A button first and then move the left analog button to choose a target and press X to hit it. Sonic Boost: Press the X Button when the Ring Energy has is filled to move faster, destroy incoming enemies, and run on water. If you press A while still holding the X Button, you can jump while still keeping speed. Any rings Sonic pass will be drawn towards him. Sonic Drift: To turn around certain curves in certain levels use the B/LT/RT to turn while still running. Hold the B to for long turns, and hold the LT (turning left)/RT (turning right) while doing close turns. Note: This move takes some practice. You can also do this move while still boosting. Stopping: In order to stop running or slow down, move the Left Analog in the opposite direction that Sonic is running. Ring Energy: This is the gauge shown on the bottom of the screen. When it’s empty Sonic cannot perform regular boosts or Air Boosts. To fill it up, collect rings and destroy enemies. Bobsled/Roller Coaster Car: In Cool Edge, Sonic will use these to travel down icy slopes. The controls change slightly. Left Analog Stick- Tilt it to the left or right to slide in that direction. Learn to use your momentum to your advantage. A: Press it to jump. Special Shoes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Similar to the Sonic Adventure games, there are Power-Up items that Sonic needs in order to progress in the story, get all Collectible items, and play certain DLC Acts. In this game, they recognized as Shoes that can be found in 4 different Entrance Stages. They only affect Sonic’s Hedgehog form. 1. Stomping Shoes Location: Holoska Entrance Stage during the Daytime Ability: Stomp In order to do a stomp, press the B button once after jumping. 2. Wall Jump Shoes Location: Spagonia Entrance Stage during the Daytime Ability: Wall Jump In order to do a wall jump, press the A button as soon as you touch a high area of a wall. Press A again as soon as you jump to the other wall on the opposite and again to reach the top of the walls. Note: I found this ability to be very useful, especially when combined with the Air Boost Ability. In certain areas where you accidently run off a platform to certain death, Sonic can Wall jump to stop his fall, Air Boost to reach the other wall, and repeat to eventually get to safety. Watch your timing though. 3. Air Boost Shoes Location: Chun-nan Entrance Stage during the Daytime Ability: Air Dash In order to do an Air Dash, press the X button once after jumping. Note: Once you have this ability, be very careful when trying to do Homing Attacks. If you don’t remember to move the Left Analog stick, Sonic will fly past his target to his death. 4. Light Speed Dash Shoes Location: Shamar Entrance Stage during the Daytime Ability: Light Speed Dash aka Ring Dash In order to do a Ring Dash, press the Y button when you’re near a row of rings. Note: This move has changed since the past games. Sonic will only follow a trail of rings in the form of a horizontal line, not in a circle. Werehog ========== This is a new form Sonic turns into when night falls. Moves ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are all the moves Sonic the Werehog can do. Walk: To walk around, use the Left Analog stick in the direction you want to go. Dash: To dash, hold the LT or RT while moving the Left Analog stick. Jump/Double Jump: Press the A Button to jump. Press the A Button again after jumping, in midair, to do a double jump. Note: The double jump gets more height and distance while Sonic is moving. Dash Jump: While Dashing press the A to do a wide jump. Some areas require this move in order to for Sonic to access them. There are also moves that Sonic can learn that require this technique. Straight Attack: Press the Y Button to attack enemies from a distance who are in front of Sonic. Wide Attack: Press the X Button to attack enemies who are close and surrounding Sonic. Grabbing Sonic can grab and carry different things by pressing the B Button, but the Buttons change depending on what’s being held. Press the X Button when trying to grab large enemies to cancel the grab. Small Enemy A: Jump while holding the enemy B: Smash the enemy into the ground. It hurts other enemies who are in the way. X: Throw the enemy. A cursor normally appears when other enemies are around so you can throw it at them. Holding Y: Swing an enemy, hitting all surrounding enemies in the way. A cursor will appear showing where the enemy will be thrown. You can’t swing forever so choose a target. Note: When you have one small enemy, you can grab another small enemy, and carry both in each hand. The controls are the same as holding a single enemy. Medium Size Enemy A: Jump while holding them Repeatedly B: Sonic swings the enemy in front and back into the ground, hitting anything in the way X: Same as Small Enemies Holding Y: Same as Small Enemies Note: After a while enemies may break free of Sonic’s grasp if you wait too long or get attacked. Jump Grab: After jumping, press B to grab an enemy, to jump up. Mostly used on Dark Bats. Boxes/Barrels A: Jump while holding it B: Gently set it down X: Throw it Repeatedly Press Y: Do a combo where Sonic swings it Note: When holding something, press LT/RT to move faster. Ledges Sonic can grab ledges and climb around the side. Opposite Direction of where the pole is + A: Jump in that direction Tightrope Ledges Sonic has to walk across these to get to certain areas. Sonic can hang on the side of them like the regular Ledges, but some can’t be grabbed or have spikes on them. If you move Sonic to a point where he starts to tilt back and forth, move to keep his balance, because if he stays in that position for a certain amount of time he will fall. Sonic can hop across certain corners, if you check the distance first. Vertical/Climb Poles A: Jump off Left Analog (Up) + A: Sonic climbs up the pole faster Swing Poles A: Jump off X/B: Let go of the pole Side Poles Up + A: Jump up above the pole Left + A: Jump to the left of the pole Right + A: Jump to the right of the pole Opposite Direction of where the pole is + A: Jump in that direction Critical Attacks ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are finishing QTE moves Sonic can pull off on certain enemies after they’ve taken damage and have an icon above their heads that look like a burning arrow, facing up. To do a Critical Attack stand near the enemy with the icon, press the B Button, and press the Buttons that show up before the line makes a complete circle. - Critical Attacks are different for every enemy - doing a Critical Attack gives more experience than when you normally defeat enemies. However, some enemies are sent flying and made release their Chaos Orbs near bottomless pits - If you fail a Critical Attack, you will take damage instead while the enemy you tried it on will recover full health - the time it takes to pull off Critical Attacks, changes depending on how much health the enemy has left. Really low health enemies have longer time periods for Critical Attacks - If you’re trying to perform a grab instead of a Critical Attack, knock them to the ground and then grab them - While doing a Critical Attack you will be unaffected by outside attacks until the QTE is over LB: Shield This creates a shield that protects Sonic from certain attacks. If your shield breaks, it will slowly recover. There are some techniques that Sonic can do after shielding. RB: Unleash Mode Once the Dark Gaia Force goes past the White marker in the Unleash Gauge, you can go into Unleash Mode. When Sonic enters this mode, he becomes stronger, faster, and immune to most enemies attacks. Use it wisely, because once you enter Unleash Mode you can’t get out of it until the gauge is empty. Skill Lists ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At the beginning of the game the Werehog starts out with a few attack combos. As you increase his Combat Stat (See Experience in Section 4), he’ll learn more effective and stronger techniques. To see what moves the Werehog can do, press the Start Button, and choose the option skills. On this menu, it splits all the combos into 4 categories and shows the Button sequences. Here I put down all info involving every technique, in that same order.

Wild Whirl Were-Hammer Combat Level: 20 Button Sequence: Hit the X Button 4 times and then hit the A Button Description: After doing the Wild Whirl, Sonic jumps high in the air, punches the ground, and sends every enemy within the radius of the attack into the air.

Shooting Star Combo Combat Level: 8 Button Sequence: While in midair, press the Y Button 3 times and then press the A Button. Description: Same as Flying Double Punch except Sonic does a forward cartwheel and swings both fists down, knocking an enemy into the ground.

With the last A Button press, the enemy sent into the ground sends all enemies on the ground near it flying backwards. Typhoon Combo Combat Level: 9 Button Sequence: While in midair, press the X Button 3 times and then press the A Button.

This Attack is perfect for defeating 1 enemy quickly and then focusing on the others. Hurricane Combo Combat Level: 22 Button Sequence: Press the X Button twice, the Y Button twice, and immediately press the A Button afterward Description: After doing an Aerial Claw Slash, Sonic stretches and swings his arms in front and back of him, then spins, and does a reverse spin roundhouse punch. Summary: Without the last A Button press, Sonic spins in the air with his arms wide out damaging any enemies already in the air. With the last A Button press, they are sent flying. Personally, I prefer without the last A Button press because his arms are further out then with any other attack and enemies sent into the air are already defeated. Special Attacks These are moves that require different Buttons besides Y and X. Were-Claw Charge Combat Level: 10 Button Sequence: Press the X Button while Dashing. Description: While Dashing, Sonic does a slow cross chop. Summary: Good when doing long Combos. Triple Wild Claw Combat Level: 11 Button Sequence: Press the Y Button while Dashing.

Summary: This one is stronger than the Were-Claw Charge and takes out weaker enemies easily. Tricky Tornado Uppercut Combat Level: 23 Button Sequence: While holding/Press LB, Y, and pull the Left Analog down simultaneously. Description: (While guarding) Sonic does a forward somersault and does a spinning uppercut into the air. Summary: It’s similar to Sho-claw-ken and Sho-hog-ken except Sonic does 2 hits instead of just 1 Wild Werewhip Combat Level: 25 Button Sequence: While holding/Press LB, X, and pull the Left Analog down simultaneously. Description: (While guarding) Sonic stretches his arms behind him and swings them over his head, smashing the ground in front of him. Summary: Not very strong but it’s quick. Missile Punch Combat Level: 14 Button Sequence: Hold the Y Button for 2 seconds and release. Description: Sonic focuses energy into his hand and releases it, sending a huge arm and fist in the forward direction. Summary: This technique can KO enemies that take the full impact of the punch. The key is charging and knowing when to release. Comet Punch Combat Level: 26 Button Sequence: Hold the Y Button for 4 seconds and release. Description: Similar to Missile Punch except Sonic focuses more energy into the attack, making his arm and fist stay out longer. Summary: Same as Missile Punch. Were-Tornado Combat Level: 24 Button Sequence: Hold the X Button for 2 seconds and release. Description: Sonic focuses energy into his hand which goes into his arms. When he releases it, he spins, stretching his arms out hitting anyone within distance. Summary: A great attack to use when surrounded and/or in a small area. It will send enemies flying.

Items and Unlockables ---------------------------------------- There are different varieties of items that can be collected and used in this game. Basic Items ============ These are items that can easily be found throughout Entrance Stages and Acts. Rings: Rings are the most important item to collect in the Daytime levels because they allow Sonic to take hits from enemies, spikes, bombs, and other obstacles that do damage. If Sonic is hit when he doesn’t have any rings, he will lose one life. This doesn’t apply to the Werehog but collecting rings will replenish his life bar. When you collect 100 Rings, you will get an extra life. Also, all rings you collect in Entrance Stages, Acts, and Missions can be used to buy items from shops. 10 Rings: These rings are 10 rings in 1. When the Werehog collects these his health goes up more. Hint Rings: If you touch these, Chip will give you a hint about how to use certain abilities, items, gimmicks, enemies, and other things. Heal Ring: These are rings that have green crystals inside of them. When Sonic touches them, his health bar becomes full. They appear when you hit and destroy things and defeat enemies during the Night Acts. Chaos Orbs: These are yellow diamonds that appear after defeating enemies. These add experience to your Experience Gauge. Dark Gaia Force: These are white and purple balls that appear when you hit and destroy things and defeat enemies during the Night Acts. Collecting these will fill your Unleash Gauge. The ones that glow brightly will make your Unleash Gauge full. Shield Charge: They resemble the shield counter above the Unleash Gauge and be found inside certain objects in Night Acts. These fully refill your shield counter. Power Shield: These are floating shields that can be found inside certain objects in Night Acts. They give Sonic an aqua green glow and lower the amount of damage he takes from enemies for a period of time. Super Claw: These are floating “Claw Gloves”, that can be found inside certain objects in Night Acts. This gives Sonic a red glow and increases the power in his attacks towards enemies for a period of time. Gimmicks ============ These are items that Sonic must use to get around in stages. Some allow him to find secret items and shortcuts. Springs: These appear only in the Day Acts and send Sonic to other points. He can home attack them from a distance. There are 4 types of springs: Regular- these are red, round, and have a yellow star on them. Simply touch them to be taken to other areas. Some are floating while some are on the ground. QTE- these are blue. Hitting these will send Sonic flying towards pads that require one button to be pressed in order for Sonic to jump off them. If the pads have a button on them, you always have to press that button each time you play that Act. If it has a ?/Question mark, then it will always be random Flip- these look like regular springs, but they on spikes under them. After a period of time they flip over and the spikes be hit instead of the spring. Be careful! Egg- these are red, rectangular, and have Eggman’s icon on them. They laugh when you hit them and are normally placed to block you or send towards obstacles and bottomless pits. Dash Panels: These are red devices that make Sonic move faster and increase speed in a certain direction in Day Acts. There is also a type that appears on rails. Directional Launchers/Jump Selectors- these are circular devices that send Sonic in a certain direction depending on what Button you press. The button normally shown is the one that sends Sonic on the regular path. However, where the Button sends you is the same for all of them: A: Sends Sonic up into the air X: Sends Sonic in the direction the device was originally facing B: Sonic goes down If you don’t press any Buttons after a period of time, it will drop Sonic down Ramps These appear in Day Acts. Depending on whether Sonic is boosting or not when he runs through them affects how high Sonic is sent into the air. The white and yellow ramps trigger a QTE where you have to hit 3 or more Buttons to send Sonic on a higher path. If you press the wrong button or don’t press them all in time, Sonic takes a lower path or dies. Colored Rings These are big wide rings that Sonic can jump through in Day Acts. The Red ones send Sonic flying in a certain direction. The Rainbow ones do the same thing but give 1000 points the first time Sonic goes through them. Sometimes they lead to shortcuts and items. Switches There are 6 types of switches in the game that have to be triggered to continue the story or find shortcuts: Step- stand on these once to make something happen. Some require having items being put on top in order to keep a door open. In Adabat, there is also a Flower type, in which Sonic has to step on them in order of which a flower grows. Stomp- once you get the Stomping Shoes, Sonic can use the stomp on green switches that go into the ground during Day Acts Balloon- these are white balls on red poles that have targets on them. They appear during Night Acts. All of them have to be hit at the same time to trigger something. Levers- only the Werehog can pull these. Some come in a turntable style and move back to their original position after a period of time Throw- at night, Sonic has to throw enemies at these to activate platforms. They are familiar in Mazuri Stone Keys and Alters- In some Night Acts, Sonic will have to find and put the Stone Keys in the Stone Alters of the same color. Once all the Alters are filled, it triggers something Poles There are many types of poles that Sonic can use during the Day and Night: Spring Poles- these appear on the sides during the daytime. Landing on the red part will send Sonic the highest Swing Poles- during the day Sonic can home attack and swing into these poles to get across. Press A at the right time and do it quickly, because he won’t spin forever. In Night Acts, Sonic can swing from these (See Section 2). Side Poles- at Night Sonic can use these to scale the walls (See Section 2) Fling Poles- these appear with a circle in the ground next to them. Stand on the circle and repeatedly press the B button to send Sonic flying. You can only use these at Night. Climb Poles- Werehog only (See Section 2) Some of these poles break after being used once or pop in and out after a period of time. Use them quickly. Movable Objects There are some items Sonic can move around the stage: Movable Crate- Sonic can move these in order to jump on them. At night, press B to grab them and LT/RT to move faster while moving it. Barrels/Crates- Night Acts Only (See Section 2) Collectibles ============= These are items that can be collected throughout the game by searching through the Town Stages, Entrance Stages, Acts, buying them from the shops, or getting them as rewards for Missions. Once you get them, you can leave a level if you choose to. Sun and Moon Medals/Levels +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are collectibles that allow you to unlock new Acts in the Entrance Stages. Sun Medals unlock Day Acts and the Moon Medals unlock Night Acts. When you collect them, your Sun and Moon levels will go up. Certain Gaia Gates (portals to Acts) only open once you’ve reach a certain Sun or Moon level. For example, in order to open Sun Level 4 Gaia Gates, your Sun Level has to be 4 or higher. In order to collect Medals you have to find them in the Town Stages, Entrance Stages, Acts, Missions, and even by giving Prof Pickle a souvenir. If you see a medal that’s transparent, that means you’ve already collected it. There are 200 of each kind of Medal so there 400 medals that can be collected. Notes: -in the Town stages, Moon Medals will only appear during the Day and Sun Medals only appear during the night. -Day Acts have more Moon Medals than Sun Medals and Night Acts have more Sun Medals than Moon Medals. -you can look at the number of Medals you need to reach the next Sun/Moon medal by standing on the Gaia Gate and having Chip tell you or by looking at the gauges in the “Status” on the Pause Screen Level Number of Sun/Moon Medals needed to achieve 2 15 3 30 4 45 5 60 6 80 7 120 Food ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When you go to the shops in the Town Stages, you can buy food that Sonic and/or Chip can eat. When Sonic eats food he gains experience. When Chip eats food you increase his friendship level. There are also 3 Videotapes you can get by feeding Chip in certain countries. In order to figure out what Chip needs to eat, I only fed him these foods: Video 57. Feed Chip 8 Lin’s Meat Buns while in Chun-nan 58. Feed Chip 16 or more Smoked Mohn in Holoska 59. Feed Chip 14 Bananas in Adabat Note: When I was in Holoska, I fed him 11 Canned Horror and 1 Perma Meat, so my results for Video 58 may be off. Also, food can only be eaten in Town Stages. If you’re trying to get the BFF Achievement, these are the foods that Chip likes: -Apple -Baguetti -Bananas -Baobab Fruit -Big G Steak -Boelk Cream -Candy -Canned Juice -Chai -Cheese -Chirped Peas -Chocolate -Cookie -Dondora Fruit -Donut -Elastic Ice Cream -Fried Chicken -Fried Suncake -Grapes -Hamburger -Hero Sandwich -Kebabwich -Lin’s Meat Buns -Molsk -Meat Buns -Paaf -Pasta alla Paccico -Peach -Peach Buns -Pizza -Pitch Nuts -Popcake -Sandwich (without the Question mark/?) -Sparkle Gelatin -Strawberry Cake -Sundae Supreme -Tomato -Tropic Juice -Wang’s Boxed Lunch -Wang’s Noodles Mission/Star Items ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are items that are usually found in the Entrance Stages or given by a townsperson to deliver to someone else. In the “Inventory” on the “Pause” screen, these items have an icon showing a white star in a green circle. What they are basically are items that have to be given to a Townsperson.

Result Screen ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Result Screen appears at the end of each level. It shows you if you made a new record time wise and gives you a Rank based on certain things within the stage. The ranks range from S being the highest while E is the lowest. Day Act Time: How long it took to beat the level Rings: How many rings you had at the end Speed: Points given depending on how fast you went through the Checkpoints Enemy: Points given for enemies defeated Tricks: points given for going over Ramps, Rainbow Rings, and passing QTE Gimmicks In order to get high ranks in the Day Acts, speed through the Checkpoints, go through the Gimmicks, collect a lot of rings, and get to the Goal Ring quickly. Night Act Time: How long it took to beat the level Rings: How many rings you had at the end Enemy: Points given for enemies defeated Combo: Points given for the number of Combos done Crush: Points given for the destroying objects in the background In order to get high ranks in the Night Acts, take your time, smash everything, collect Dark Gaia Force, defeat certain enemies with Critical Attacks, and try not to lose a life. You don’t necessarily need Combos to get higher ranks, but it does increase the total a little. Boss Acts To get higher ranks in the Boss Acts, beat the boss as fast as possible. Tornado Defense Acts Time: How long it took to beat the level Enemies Defeated: Points given for enemies defeated Max Combo: Points given for the highest number of successive hits Shield: Points given for amount of shield left Experience ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Similar to Sonic and the Secret Rings, this game has an experience/level up system that allows Sonic to become faster during the Daytime and stronger during the Nighttime. After eating food or collecting Chaos Orbs from enemies in levels, you can choose to increase Sonic’s levels either by going to the Status option on the Pause Screen while on the World Map, Town Stage, or Entrance Stage, or wait until you complete an Act or Mission and do it after the Results Screen. When comparing experience points and bars, 1 Experience Bar=100 Experience Points. However, it’s easier to calculate experience points received from food then enemies. Once you’re on the Status Screen, you will see a top bar showing how much experience you have collected and underneath it bars for different stats (to switch between Hedgehog and Werehog Stats press LB/RB). To fill a level, just pick the stat and press the A button to fill up the meter. Depending on how much experience points you have in the top meter affects how much you can put in. For example, if 1 stat requires at least 10 Experience bars/1000 experience points to level up and your bar has 12 Experience bars/1200 experience points, you can fill up all 10 bars and have 2 Experience bars/200 experience points left over. If you have less than 10 bars, say 8 for example, you can fill it in but it will still need 2 bars/200 more points to reach the next stat level. As far as collecting Experience goes, you’ll collect more from Werehog Acts, eating Don Fachio’s Hot Dogs (70 experience points each), eating Dureeks from Wentos (50 Experience Points each), and completing other Missions. Also, enemies give more experience when you use Critical Attacks. Hedgehog Stats Speed: Increases how fast Sonic can go. Max Level is 11. Ring Energy: Increases Sonic’s maximum ring energy and makes it deplete slower. Max Level is 6. Werehog Stats Combat: This gives Sonic more attacks and combos he can use in battle. This is the most important stat to level up because Sonic will need certain moves in later levels. If you want to know how to do these attacks, press start, and select “Skills”. Max level is 31. Strength: This makes Sonic’s attacks do more damage against enemies. Max level is 11. Life: Increases the length of Sonic’s health bar. Max level is 11. Unleash: Increases the amount of energy the Unleash gauge holds and lowers the bar so Sonic can use “Unleash Mode” quicker. Max level is 11. Shield: Increasing this will increase the number of shields you can use. Max level is 11. Combat List: Lv. Earned/Name 2. Donkey Kick Combo 3. Egg Scrambler 4. Flying Double-Punch Crush 5.

Unleashed Wild Combo Scavenging ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There are 2 goals when playing the Acts in this game: getting high Ranks/Scores and Scavenging. Scavenging focuses more on collecting all the items in the Act instead worrying about high scores, losing lives, and getting to the Goal late. My suggestion for Scavengers and people trying to get high Ranks/Scores: don’t try to do both, unless you’re doing a Night Act that’s not difficult. The reason is that some of the Collectible items in the game are hidden in places where Sonic may have to slow down, or lose a life because of being missed or for being on a different path. Of course, that doesn’t mean that if you want to grab an item that happens to be on the way, ignore it. I’m just saying that when you’re Scavenging, focus on the items, not your score. 5. Areas within each Country ---------------------------------------- Within each country there are 3 areas Sonic can go. This explains each area so people don’t confused. Town Stages ============= The Town Stages are the first areas Sonic goes to when he first arrives to a Country. In these stages Sonic can talk to Townspeople to get information on the story or Missions, buy items from different shops, and get access to the Entrance Stages. On the World Map, when you select a Country, choose “Go to Capital/Village” if you want to go to the Town Stage. When the loading screen comes up, it shows a map of the area, with symbols that represent the World Map Gate, Shop, Entrance Stage Gate, and for Spagonia and Shamar, Prof Pickle’s Lab. The World Map Gate takes you back to the World Map Screen and has 2 small globes to the side. The Entrance Stage Gate takes you to the Entrance Stage and has a circle floating inside it with the sun and the moon rotating. Most shops have people standing behind a counter, but in some places they’ll be standing around, so talk to everyone you meet. Traveling Salesmen Wentos ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After defeating Egg Beetle, when you return to the Mazuri Town Stage, you may notice a man in a green suit, wearing a green hat, and holding a briefcase in one hand and a Chao hand puppet in the other. This fellow’s name is Wentos and he’s a traveling salesman who doesn’t come from any Country (he’s number 98 in the Directory on the bookshelf). After he gets over his shyness, you will be able to buy stuff from him. Once you buy something from him he goes off to a different Country. Where he travels to next and what he sells can be entirely random. Some of the stuff he sells can be bought at other shops but he changes the prices of his items each time you meet. When you do spot him in the Town Stages, check to see how many rings you have before speaking to him, because some the items he sells are exclusive and can’t be purchased anywhere else. Note: From what I’ve studied, he travels everywhere except Eggmanland. How to get Wentos to sell his wares After beating Egg Beetle for the first time, talk to Wentos (in the name bar it will say “A mysterious youth”) near the World Map Gate in Mazuri. Choose an option when you speak to him and he’ll run off. Then do the same when you see him in Holoska, and Spagonia (talk to him twice). When you reach Shamar, talk to him twice, and he will sell stuff to you. Non-exclusive Items: Aurora Oil 30, 60, or 120 Rings Baobab Fruit 5 or 40 Rings Chili Dog 20, 50, or 100 Rings Cookie 10, 20, or 40 Rings Fried Chicken 20, 50, or 100 Rings Exclusive Items: Art Book 55 50 Rings Art Book 56 50 or 200 Rings Art Book 57 200 Rings Boelk Cream 30, 60, or 120 Rings Chao Chugger 20, 50, or 100 Rings Chirp Peas 30, 60, or 120 Rings Chocolate 20, 50, or 100 Rings Dureek 50, 100, or 200 Rings Empire Coffee 5, 20, or 40 Rings Fried Suncake 20, 40, or 80 Rings Hammock 60 or 130 Rings Hero Sandwich 30, 90, or 180 Rings Lace Tablecloth 200 or 400 Rings Lantern 120 Rings or 240 Rings Magazine 300 Rings Pizza 20, 50, or 100 Rings Power Vitamin 30, 60, or 120 Rings Record 58 50 Rings (Result Screen- The Lowest Rank) Sandwich? 30, 60, or 120 Rings Sandwich 30, 60, or 120 Rings Shamarian Sand 140 Rings Spagonian Glass 70 or 240 Rings Talismanic Mask 130 or 260 Rings Whale Ornament 120 Rings Entrance Stages ================ These are the hub areas in the game where you can play Acts and certain completed Missions, collect rings, extra 1-Ups, Special Shoes, and certain Collectible items. After you defeat Egg Beetle, you’ll find Hourglasses in the Entrance Stages that allow you to switch between Day and Night. Some areas of the Entrance Stages can also be accessed by the Hedgehog than the Werehog and vice versa. -The Portals to the Acts are called Gaia Gates. The Day Act Gaia Gates are only open during the daytime and the Night Act Gaia Gates are only open during the Nighttime -You won’t be able to access Act 2 or 3 Day/Night Gaia Gates until you have enough Sun/Moon Medals and you have cleared Act 1. -Not every Entrance Stage has a Day Act 3, Night Act 2, or Boss Acts ====== These are the actual levels in the game. Like past games, the basic objective is to reach the Goal Ring, but it’s not the same for every Act. After you’ve cleared an Act (beat it at least once), you can play it again from the World Map in Select Stage. Prof Pickle’s Lab ================== After you defeat Egg Beetle, you’ll be able to go to Prof Pickle’s Lab in Spagonia through the Town Stage or by using the “Go to the Lab” option on the World Map (after beating the game). Here you can talk to him to find out where you should go next (which will unlock other Countries) and look at hints. When you give him souvenirs, more hints will be added. After you’ve bought the TV, Bookshelf, and Gramophone from Josef’s/the Spagonia Shop, you’ll be able to look at artwork, see the Townspeople and enemies you’ve met, watch cut scenes from the story, and listen to music. Note: To view/listen to music in Professor Pickle’s Shamar Lab, buy the Audio System from the Golden Trading Company/Shamar Shop Hints Souvenir that unlocks it The Gaia Manuscripts Dark Gaia The Chaos Emeralds The shattered planet Restoring the planet The Gaia Temples Dr. Eggman Chip Monsters at Night Sonic’s transformation Is there a cure?

You can get some of the Records floating around the stage. Gaia Gates The Gaia Gates for Windmill Isle Day Act 2 and Night Act 1 are in the middle area as soon as you walk into the Entrance Stage.

Windmill Isle Day Act 1 ====================== Sun Level Needed: First level in the game/already available Summary: This is the first level in the entire game and is the Tutorial for Daytime levels. Come here again if you wish to practice certain moves. Walkthrough: Run down the hill and collect rings. Keep running even when you see the gap up ahead.

This is truly level 1 for the Daytime Acts. Walkthrough: Boost through the path from the starting point. When you hit the spring at the end, you’ll hit a rainbow ring, and land in an area with 3 Egg Fighters. Defeat them to make the pulley come down. Checkpoint #1 Home Attack the Spinners in order to get across the gap. After you land, boost to the next Checkpoint. Checkpoint #2 Continue boosting and slide when the B Button shows up on the screen. Checkpoint #3 You’ll eventually land on a 3 way rail. Move from the middle rail to avoid the spike and boost from here. You’ll go over a ramp that sends you into the next Checkpoint. Checkpoint #4 Switch from the middle rail to avoid the spike and switch back to it once it’s passed. Boost from here and go into the Directional Launcher. After going up in the air you’ll see a moving platform, an Egg Spring, and a Spring Pole. Do not use a Homing Attack here. Just wait for the platform to come down and jump on top of the spring pole to get up. Boost and hold the slide Button to go into a series of springs and Dash Panels. When you see the Egg Fighter, Home Attack it and the Spinners, and land on the other side. Up ahead is a QTE Ramp. If you pass it you will take a shortcut. Checkpoint #5 From here is a fork in the road. It doesn’t matter which path you choose because you’ll end up sliding under a crack towards the end. Hit the spring and use the pulleys to get up to the checkpoint. Last Checkpoint Jump to the platform and then Home Attack the Spinners to get to the other side. Boost from here to get to a 2D area. Once you get to the other side you’ll hit another QTE Ramp. If you pass it you’ll take another shortcut. Jump over the spikes and hit the Rainbow Ring to avoid the next set of spikes.

After you slide under the second crack, boost to be sent up a higher rail which has a Medal. 7. In front of the next checkpoint. 8. From #7, there’s a Record behind the 3 small ramps before the same checkpoint. 9. When you’re in the second 2D section and hit the spring that sends you to the above rail, lean the left analog stick to the left to land on a platform. Jump on the platform next to it to get a Sun Medal. 10. (Need the Wall Jump Shoes) When you see the area where you have to slide, jump high, and wall jump to reach the record. 11. When you see the fork in the road take the left path. When you hit the spring/pulley, home into the Ring to reach the upper area and grab the Sun Medal. 12. When you see the checkpoint go to the right and you find a row of stairs. Go down to find a Moon Medal. 13. In the last 2D section, when you hit the Directional Launcher, press A, home attack the Egg Fighters and land to the right. Instead of continuing to the QTE ramp go left to find a Videotape. 14.

I wouldn’t suggest doing this Act until after you’ve gotten the Air Boost Shoes at least, for areas where you’ll have to wide jumps. Also, this helps you when you are scavenging. Walkthrough: From the start, jump into the Rainbow Ring. From here keep jumping into Rainbow Rings to reach the next rail. When it changes to 3D, switch rails to avoid the spikes and hit the spring at the end. From there carefully, jump across and/or Air Boost to get to the next rails. On the last set of rails, jump instead so you don’t hit the spikes. Boost from the end rail going up to get to the next rail. Once you reach the end rail boost to be sent into the air where 2 Thunder Spinners are (Be careful!). If you end up on the bottom rail from this section, boost to reach the last rails. In this area switch rails to reach the Goal Ring. DON’T BOOST HERE! Collectibles: 1 Sun Medal, 2 Moon Medals, Art Books 2, and 22 1. When you get to the 3D area that has Sonic switching back and forth between 3 rails, stay on the right one to get a Moon Medal close to the spring. 2. From #1, jump up to the upper rail from the incline to get a Sun Medal. Jump to the next upper rail to get an Art Book 3.

Compared to the other Daytime Egg Bosses, this is the easiest. Battle Style: The Egg Devil Ray has a shield that can be broken by boosting into the robot once, so in order to damage it, you need to boost into it twice. The only problem is that the track is very wide and you can’t get certain rings by pressing LB/RB while also dodging laser attacks. However, it shouldn’t be too hard to fill up your Ring Energy. You may be able to ram it 3 times in a row but it sometimes throws its electric shield back up immediately after being hit so be careful. The Egg Devil Ray has 2 types of attacks: lasers and fireballs. When running straight towards it, it will use lasers. When the camera changes to a bird’s eye view, it switches between lasers and different patterns of fireballs. When it changes to 2D, all the floating lasers move around in a circular formation. You can run pass the high ones, hop over the medium ones, and slide under the big ones. Even when the view changes, boost into it twice to do damage and put the view back to normal. So far, I’m not sure how to predict the view changes, so be ready when it happens. Collectibles: 2 Sun Medals and 3 Moon Medals 1. Middle 2. Right 3. Middle 4. To the left behind some barrels 5.

E-? or less Boss-Egg Beetle **************** Gaia Keys Needed: Clear Savannah Citadel Day Act 1 Summary: This is the first Daytime Boss and the first boss you actually face in the entire game. Personally, the Egg Beetle looks like an Egg Spider but he doesn’t have 8 legs. Anyway, even though it is the first boss, it’s still tricky. Both of the hedgehog’s Stats will affect the outcome of this battle. Battle Style: The first thing you need to focus on in this battle is collecting rings. The Egg Beetle’s Pinchers prevent Sonic from attacking directly but once he opens them, you’ll be able to use the boost to attack him. In order to do this get close enough so that you’re near the pinchers (but don’t touch them). When Eggman sees this he’ll open the pinchers. After you boost and hit him once, keep holding the X Button and you’ll be able to ram into him 2 more times. That’s why it’s important that you fill up your Ring Gauge as soon as possible. The second thing you need to focus on is dodging using the LB/RB Buttons. The Egg Beetle uses 2 types of projectiles: Missiles and Bombs. Both to dodge but you need to be careful when boosting, because you can’t jump over the missiles and they fall down fast. Whenever the Egg Beetle stops moving and its pinchers start glowing quickly dodge and run past it and the level will switch from 3D to 2D. Here the Egg Beetle will still fire Missiles and Bombs, but you’ll only be able to dodge by running back and forth, and jumping. If he opens his pinchers during this part, you can either avoid them or wait and do a homing attack Other things about this boss: -even though you can also Home Attack the Egg Beetle after it opens its pinchers, Boosting does more damage against it -you can tell which attack the Egg Beetle will use depending what Eggman shouts. If he says “Bombs Away!” it will use bombs. If he says “Are you fast enough to dodge this?!” it will use missiles. When he says “How about this?!” that means he’s going to do the charged attack and you need to dodge -after hitting him 3 times, boost towards him to repeat the sequence again. Watch your distance though Collectibles: 2 Sun Medals, 3 Moon Medals 1. Middle 2. Middle 3. Right 4. Right 5.

Your strength level of the Werehog will greatly affect the time it takes to beat this boss. Battle Style: When the battle starts you can’t attack him directly due to a barrier. In order to take down the barrier, you have to defeat the Mini Morays. The easiest way to do this is to break the ice off the capsules, grab them, and throw them at them to freeze them, and then throw one attack to kill them. Once this happens, the barrier will come down and you can jump onto the upper area. Just as you took out the Mini Morays, you have to freeze Dark Moray first before attacking. Once he’s frozen you have to find the Green spot on its body and attack there in order to do damage. One of Prof Pickle’s hints says to start off with weak attacks before doing more powerful hits. I believe that prevents Dark Moray from Breaking out of the Ice faster. Once he breaks out, you will be sent back to the lower area and repeat the process. 1st Spot: It’s on the front of his stomach 2nd Spot: The second time you reach the upper area and freeze Dark Moray, the Green Spot will move to his back. Use Aerial Attacks Warning: After this point, he’ll start to do a spinning attack as soon as he puts his head down. Jump off the stage and wait for him to stop, before jumping back off. He also does an Ice Breath attack after you finished off the 2nd spot 3rd Spot: The last spot is his head. In order to hit this, you have to freeze him after he does his head attack. Once you do, use Aerial Combos to finish him off Collectibles: 3 Sun Medals and 2 Moon Medals 3 of the Medals are on the Upper area with Dark Moray, while 2 of them are on the bottom section.

E-? or less Boss-Dark Gaia Phoenix ********************* Gaia Keys Needed: Clear Dragon Road Night Act 1 Summary: This is the first Nighttime boss in the game. Your Strength and Combat Stat will affect the battle. Battle Style: In order to defeat this boss, you have to put its fire out with water barrels and take it down 3 times. 1st Round: At the beginning, dash over to the right/left platform, quickly grab the ledge, hop on the platform, grab the water barrel, and throw it at the Phoenix. Now run over to where it lands, and do several attacks. After that a QTE will occur and you’ll have to hit 2 hit buttons. After you hit them, round 1 will end. 2nd Round: While it flies around the stage, go to a platform with a water barrel, and wait. As soon as it stops and dives, throw the barrel as soon as it comes within range. If you hit it, quickly dodge its attack, get to the next platform with a water barrel, and throw it when you have a clear shot. Then go to where it lands and attack it to trigger another QTE. This time there are 4 Buttons. Final Round: Repeat what you did in Round 1 and 2. The QTE has 3 Button presses and ends with hitting the A Button 6 times. After this the boss battle is over. Other things about this boss: -if you fail any of the QTE you’ll have to do the round all over again -if you attack Dark Gaia Phoenix after putting its fire out and before it lands on one of the platforms, you can actually skip some of the QTE, all of the QTE, or an entire round when you get to the platform where it lands and attacks(depending on how much health it has left). In order to do this, the Dash Jump and do Aerial Attacks (like Crescent Moon Strike without the last A Press) immediately after throwing the water barrel. -it has 2 attacks: a homing projectile and feathers. To avoid them use your shield or Dash behind the platform with a side platform -if you’re having trouble trying to hit it with a water barrel, wait for it to go into the center to rest.

E-? or less Boss-Dark Guardian ****************** Gaia Keys Needed: After Clearing Arid Sands Night Act 1 Summary: According to the Bestiary on the Bookshelf in Prof Pickles’ Lab, Dark Guardian was created when the temple absorbed enough moonlight. Therefore, that is its weakness. Battle Style: In order to beat Dark Guardian you have to move all 3 blocks to the other side of the level, with the blue alter, and then beat the last of his remaining health out of him. If you want to do this quick and easy, move them in order of largest to smallest than the other way around. When you first start the level, run over, and start whaling on him. When he falls back, choose the block you want to move, and start pushing it towards the other side. Watch the fences because they pop up and down randomly each time the boss falls back. Also, be aware of when he gets back up, because he may use a lightning attack from a distance instead of attacking directly. Once the blocks reach the line at the bottom of the blue alter, they will automatically slide up and take a chunk out of his health. Repeat this 2 more times and then go attack him dead on to finish the level. Try to push the blocks one at a time, because Dark Guardian and the Nightmares will try to push the blocks in the opposite direction. After you successfully push 1 block into the alter line, a few things will change during the fight: -if Dark Guardian starts to glow after already being revived and he walks around in a blue aura, he may do an attack that triggers a QTE.

Boost again to hit the boss. On the bottom section, use LB/RB to dodge the fireballs and boost to hit Egg Lancer again. Then pull off the QTE to finish the battle.

S-100000 or more A-?-99999 B-? C-? D-? E-? or less Tornado Defense Act 2 ==================== Availability: After defeating Egg Lancer, talking to Prof Pickle in Shamar, and talking to Tails. You have to beat this level for the first time in order to get to Eggmanland. Once you’ve cleared it, you can play it again on the World Map in Stage Select in Eggmanland or by going to the gate in the Eggmanland Town Stage. Summary: This entire level is based on Quick Time Elements, where all you have to is hit the buttons shown on the screen when you see them. When you make successive hits you make combos. If you press the wrong button or put buttons when nothing is shown the combo ends and you can’t shoot momentarily. When this happens, press LB/RB alternately to recover. There are more enemies than the 1st Act but by now you should be used to the QTE. Boss: Egg Cauldron There are 2 ways to defeat this boss. You can either defeat it or keep your shield from hitting 0 until time runs out (3 minutes and 30 seconds). When a larger Button is shown with a number next to it, press it the number of times to do damage to Egg Cauldron. Still, watch out for missiles when it does appear onscreen. Ranks: S-? or more A-?

This is the longest and hardest level in the entire game. The biggest challenge of this level is trying to get through it without dying once. As you go through certain sections, you may notice familiar scenes from other Sonic games like the Roller Coaster from Twinkle Park (Sonic Adventure), the Domes from Egg Factory (Sonic Riders), and other elements. Use every skill you’ve learned to conquer this Act. Walkthrough: I divided the walkthrough for this level into 6 parts that Sonic goes through as he switches between his Hedgehog and Werehog forms. Hedgehog Area 1 From the start, carefully jump over the first set of lasers, and stomp once you’re over them. Home Attack the Electric Spinner and, while still in midair, Home Attack the Egg Shooter, and the 4 Egg Launchers. Once they’ve been destroyed, the lasers to the right will go down. Boost into the spring and Ring Dash across the room into the Dash Panel and the QTE Ramp. If you fail the QTE, you will die. Checkpoint #1 From here there are several ways you can go: Quickest Way- Boost down the incline, jump before the second incline, and you’ll land in the middle of 3 rails. Take the right rail without boosting, Home Attack the Spinners and Air Boost over the upper rail to land on a rail further north. At the end of that rail you’ll hit a Directional Launcher. Press A and Ring Dash across to another rail and boost the rest of the way. At the end of the rail, home attack the Spinners and the Egg Launcher, hit the Dash Panels, and hit the hourglass. Werehog Area 1 Checkpoint #2 Run across the room and defeat the 5 Egg Knights (In the left barrel is a Heal Ring). Then jump across and use the Swing Poles to reach a platform with 2 more Egg Knights (In the barrel in the north is a Heal Ring). Pull the lever to make a platform start coming down, grab it, and use it to get the upper area. After you defeat the next 5 Egg Knights pull the next lever to start the conveyer belt and grab one of the pots (to the left there’s a barrel with a Power Shield in one corner and a Heal Ring in the other). Lean to the left and jump once you see the circular platform. Defeat all 3 waves of enemies (Egg Knights and Egg Shooters) and pull the lever to activate another platform. Jump to it, jump on the platform with an hourglass, hit it, and Home Attack the spring. Hedgehog Area 2 Checkpoint #3 After you run over to the platform with Egg Face, jump, and do a Homing Attack to hit an Egg Fighter. Once you jump over the beams, wait for the egg face to move forward and jump on top it to reach the next platform. From here Home Attack the Spinner, run to the right of the conveyor belt, and Wall Jump past the vanishing platforms to reach the next area. From here there are 2 ways you can go: Regular Way: Run to the right and use the middle moving platform to jump over the beams. Use the Egg Faces to reach the side with the Egg Shooter, Wall Jump, run to the right while avoiding the fan and you’ll reach the Checkpoint. Shortcut: Jump on top of the top moving platform and do a timed Wall Jump past the fans. Checkpoint #4 Home Attack the Egg Shooter and, while in midair, Stomp on the green boxes in between the spikes to be taken down a pipe that leads to a Roller Coaster. At a certain point the car Sonic is in will break off on a path and will be controlled like the Bobsled in Cool Edge Day Act 1. Turn to avoid the beams and spiked bombs. If they appear in the middle of your path and the area is narrow, jump! Use the ramps to avoid most of the obstacles. After the 4th ramp, jump over the beams, hit the ramp, and the bobsled will crash. Sonic will regain his footing and from here you can either boost towards the QTE Ramp or Home Attack your way over there. If you fail the QTE, you will die. Werehog Area 2 Checkpoint #5 From here jump onto the middle pipe and carefully go straight towards the boiler. Grab its ledge and go to the right, jump off and grab the Side Pole. Drop down from the Side Pole and carefully walk on the pipe straight, grab the ledge and into the first fight area. Defeat the 2 waves of enemies (2 Cure Masters, 2 Power Masters, and 4 Egg Knights) and pull the lever and go through the door (Inside the barrels to the right is a Power Shield and a Full Dark Gaia Force. In the barrels in the right corner is a Heal Ring and a Super Claw. To the left are 2 Heal Rings and a Shield Charge). Checkpoint #6 From here go across the pipe, grab the platform, grab the side of the boiler and get to the other side. From here there are several different ways to go: Regular Way: Carefully land on the bottom pipes and maneuver your way over to a big pipe with a Timed Side Pole. Grab it and jump over to the swing pole. Use the Swing pole to reach the Checkpoint. Checkpoint #7 From there land on the big pipe and jump to the other one. Walk across while jumping over the spikes. Once you get to the door pull the lever. Checkpoint #8 Here you’ll face 3 waves of 4 Egg Knights and 1 Egg Shooters/15 enemies (Inside the barrel to the right is a Full Dark Gaia Force and a Shield Charge. To the left is a Heal Ring). Pull the lever, go through the door, hit the hourglass, and Home Attack the spring. Hedgehog Area 3 Checkpoint #9 There are 2 ways to go from here: Shortcut: Wall Jump and Air Boost using the Egg Faces and follow that path and you’ll fall down a pit into a Directional Launcher. Press X to reach the other Directional Launcher. Regular Way: Head right towards the Egg Faces and Home Attack the Egg Fighter. From there land on the Dash Panel and you’ll go into a Directional Launcher. Boost into the Egg Shooter to hit the spring, land on the Egg Face, and carefully jump across to the other side. From there carefully time your jump on the Egg Faces to reach the top area with the other Egg Face (You may have to use an Air Dash and a Wall Jump). Checkpoint #10 On the conveyor belt, jump at the end and Home Attack the spring. On the second conveyor belt, run across, Air Boost into the wall, and Wall Jump into the Directional Launcher. After you use the last Directional Launcher follow the path to the Checkpoint. Checkpoint #11 Jump over the spikes and stomp into the boxes. Press the buttons shown on the first 2 Directional Launchers and stand all the way to the right to avoid the fan. Use a Wall Jump to hit the next Directional Launcher and continue to press the buttons shown. Once you hit the Red Ring, boost. Checkpoint #12 Eventually, you’ll hit a QTE Spring. After the QTE jump over to the conveyor belt and get to the pulley on the other side. Press A to hop over the beams and move the Left Analog Stick forward along with the Boost to maintain speed. Use LB/RB to dodge. Checkpoint # 13 Hit the QTE Ramp. It doesn’t matter if you fail it or not, but it can be a shortcut. Home attack the enemies to make the platform come down and ride it to the top and hit the spring. Wait for the Egg Faces to be in position before attacking the Spinner and use them as well as the vanishing platforms to get across. After using the Directional Launchers and land on the next platform, jump to hit a Red Ring. Then wait for the Egg Face to move and go back in to go pass it and slide into the Egg Knight with the Spring Shield. Run into the spring to hit a Directional Launcher and go up. Jump on the vanishing platforms to get to a spring. Grab the pulley, Home Attack the Egg Fighter, and walk over to the checkered platform. Once it raises and you hit the red spring, land, and boost forward to hit a spring. While in midair, Home Attack the Egg Fighter and the QTE spring. Checkpoint #14 Boost into the QTE Ramp. If you fail it, you will die. If you passed it you will move into a skydive pit. Carefully dodge the beams and fans and position yourself towards the platform and the Dash Panels. Unlike Rooftop Run Day Act 1, you won’t automatically land on the platform as you get towards the bottom. Final Area Checkpoint #15 From here there are actually 2 ways you can choose to go. Hedgehog Shortcut: Go to the right of the lever and Wall Jump. Jump to the right and run inside the vent. Avoid the fans and you’ll reach a room with an Hourglass. Hit it and lift the movable door. From here you’ll be in the endless robot room. Regular Way: In the room, walk over to the left and punch the pink panels. Pull the switch to open the door. Slide down the pipe and avoid the fans. You’ll end up in a room with a fan in the center and Dark Bats floating above. Here you have to defeat all the Dark Bats and then pull the lever to open the door. Use the Side Poles and Aerial Combos like the Hurricane Combo without the A Press. Once you’re out slide down the next pipe to the Checkpoint. Checkpoint # There are 2 ways to get through this area. Shortcut: Double Jump behind the checkpoint to land on a gear like platform. Then Double Jump and grab the ledge. Checkpoint # Slide down the pipe to reach another endless robot room. Smash the middle Pink Panel room to find the lever. Pull it and run through the door. Last Checkpoint From here pull the lever (there’s a Power Shield inside the barrel to the right). In the next room you have to defeat the Titan to continue. There are also 2 waves of 2 Egg Knights and Lightning Masters (To the south is a barrel with a Heal Ring and to the right of the door is a barrel with a Super Claw. In the next room is another lever (in the barrels to the right there’s a Heal Ring, Full Dark Gaia Force, and a Power Shield). In the last room, you have to defeat both of the Titans to make the Goal Ring appear. There are also 3 waves of Power Masters and Cure Masters. Defeat the Cure Masters first and then attack the Titans (There are 2 Heal Rings and a Super Claw inside the barrels to the right of this area). Collectibles: Art Books 17, 18, 60, 66, 67, and Records 13 (Eggmanland-Day), 32 (Eggmanland-Night), 39 (Tornado Defense-2nd Battle), and 56 (Eggmanland Entrance) 1. After the first Checkpoint, boost, and jump to the 3 rails. Take the right rail and Home Attack the Spinners to a higher rail. This rail will take you to an area with a Record. 2. In the 2nd Hedgehog Area there is a Record to the right after the Checkpoint. After you get it, go back to the left and Wall Jump pass the fans to reach an Art Book 3. In the 2nd Werehog Area, get to where the enemies are and grab the Side Pole to the right. Carefully use the pipe to get to the ledge of the boiler, travel along the side, jump to the other boiler’s ledge, and travel along the side there to get an Art Book. 4. After getting # 3 and hitting the next Checkpoint, go to the right side. Carefully jump on the pipes to reach the Art Book and a high big pipe. From there go and grab the boiler to the left, travel along the side, and jump on a platform. Jump from that platform to a ledge with a Checkpoint. Go through it and jump to the boiler, grab the ledge, travel along the side, and jump to the other side. Jump up to the Heal Ring and Extra Life, grab the Swing Pole, and grab the Record. Now instead of going straight jump to where you first entered the section and pull the lever to make the platforms come down. Use the platforms to get back over to the right side of the room, jump and grab the Side Pole and quickly jump to the Swing Pole. Now from the Swing Pole double jump to the boiler to the left to get an Art Book. 5. In the 3rd Hedgehog Area, Wall Jump and Air Boost to the Upper Area after going through the Checkpoint.

E-? or less Boss-Egg Dragoon ****************** Availability: After Clearing the Eggmanland Act Summary: You’d think that after conquering Eggmanland, Eggman is going to use one of the strongest robots he’s ever created. Instead he decides to use the same robot he tried to crush Sonic with in the Opening Movie, upgrade its cannon, change the other gun into a rocket drill, and powers it using Dark Gaia’s energy….which is the same energy Were Sonic uses. Though we may never know what Eggman was thinking, this boss is easy. You could get an S Rank with a full life bar on your first time fighting it. Battle Style: First run around to avoid the gunfire. Then stand to the north of the platform and attack the green spot with combos. Stay near that green spot. If he tries to do a slash attack, you can stand near the green spot or go to the other side to avoid it. When the Egg Fighters appear, ignore them, and attack the Green spot. Once you push his health pass the line on his health meter, a 5 button QTE that ends with hitting the A Button 10 times. After the first QTE, Eggman will break the platform and send you falling. Move around to avoid gunfire and to land on the next platform. Once you land on the next platform repeat the process. Other notes about this boss: -After the first QTE, he does an ice attack. Jump to avoid its shockwave rings. -He may beat the platform again before you push it pass the second line -the final QTE require 7 buttons including having to press Y 14 times -if you fail the QTE, you’ll have to do it over Collectibles: None Ranks: S-80000 or more A-70000-? B-? C-? D-? E-? or less Boss-Dark Gaia/Perfect Dark Gaia ****************************** Availability: After Defeating Egg Dragoon. If you get a Game Over during this level, you will have to fight Egg Dragoon again before fighting Dark Gaia. Summary: This boss has 2 different forms and you’ll switch between Sonic and Gaia Colossus. Battle Style: In order to use Gaia Colossus: X: to Boost Hold LT/RT and release: to punch fire balls LB: to Block In these parts, boost past the fireballs thrown at you through the openings, hold a punch if there are no openings, and block when he’s about to release a beam.

Sonic Area 1 Run and jump over the purple vain. Boost over the ramp and collect rings. On the rails switch from right to left, jump, and Ring Dash across to the QTE ramp. Pass it. Gaia Colossus 2 Dark will throw 5 fireballs now so be careful when you look for openings. Sonic Area 2 From the start, jump into the Rainbow Rings to get a shortcut. Then Hit the QTE Spring, pass it, and run through the Shuttle Loop to the QTE Ramp. Gaia Colossus 3 The fireballs will come faster so be ready to push more often if you don’t see an opening. Sonic Area 3 From the start, boost to the right, and boost off the ramp there for a shortcut. Jump over the upper area and into the Rainbow Ring. Jump and slide over the purple veins and stay on the left to get an extra life. Boost on the wall or into the spring, jump and slide over the purple veins, and Air Boost across the tilted platforms, and boost to the QTE Ramp. Super Sonic Part 1 Go down and boost to collect rings. Try to collect as many as you can even if the gauge looks full. Avoid the rocks! Super Sonic Part 2 Once you get to the shield, wait for the small cutscene, and boost around the Dark Gaia Dragons. Boost into them several times to defeat them. Once you defeat all 8 the shield will go down. Other notes about this part: -sometimes the Dragons will pop inside the shield when you get towards them. If that happens, wait for them to pop out again or boost to the Dragon Head -some Perfect Dark Gaia will shot beams and fire balls at Sonic. Boost to avoid them. -Avoid the rocks! Final QTE Once the shield is down, there will be a 6 Button QTE. Finally, you’ll have to hit the X Button 60 times to end the fight.

Enemies ---------------------------------------- Other than the Bosses, there are over 26 Eggman Robots and 20 Dark Gaia Minions. Once you can come in contact with them, they become recorded in the Bestiary on the Bookshelf in Prof Pickle’s Lab. Eggman Robots ============= These enemies appear in both Day and Night Acts, while some are only seen during the Day. Egg Fighter Critical Attack Bonus: 6500 Egg Fighter with Shield Egg Fighter with Spring Shield Egg Fighter with Electric Shield Egg Fighter Knight with Electric Shield and Sword Egg Fighter Knight with Spring Shield and Big Sword Egg Fighter with Shield and Sword Egg Fighter with Sword ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ QTE for Critical Attack: 2 Buttons Summary & Tips: The Egg Fighter is the most common Eggman Robot you’ll encounter. However, sometimes they’ll be caring swords and shields, some even called Knights. During the daytime, Sonic can boost into them, slide into them, hit them by drifting, and Home Attack them except for when they’re holding a Spring Shield. When you Home Attack them, the spring will bounce you up in the air and you may fall off the track. Use the slide or avoid them all together when you see them in the way. When you see the Egg Fighters with the Electric Shield, watch for the shield to turn off before attacking. The Egg Fighters normally attack by punching. During the night levels, the robots don’t block too much when they’re not carrying a shield, and may do a spinning attack on the ground. After attacking them or trying a Critical Attack, they’ll eventually drop their shields and swords, turning them into regular Egg Fighters. Be careful when facing Egg Fighters with Electric Shields during the Night Acts also. Egg Shooter ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Critical Attack Bonus: 7500 QTE for Critical Attack: 2 Buttons Summary & Tips: They look similar to the Egg Fighters except they’re brown and attack using the guns on their arms. They can only shoot in a line so move around to avoid their attacks. If an Egg Shooter is in sight, use a shield to protect yourself from the shots or attack it ahead of time. Little Fighter ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: According to the Bestiary, these used to be the guns of Egg Shooters that appear once you defeat one. Either way they also don’t pose most of a threat. At night, they are the strongest small enemies to use as weapons against other enemies. Egg Launcher H Egg Launcher V Egg Launcher H+V ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: These robots shoot 2-4 missiles at Sonic during the Day Acts. They lock on so try to move around to avoid getting hit. Once they use up all their missiles, they just stand there. They can still do a spin attack though, so even then they’re not completely harmless. Spinner Thunder Spinner ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: They act as stepping stones for Sonic during the Day Acts. Watch out for the Thunder ones because they release electricity repeatedly. Egg Shackle Egg Burst ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: These little guys stick to Sonic during the Day Acts. One sucks away rings while the other explodes. Quickly get them off by pressing X repeatedly. Egg Typhoon Egg Blizzard Egg Flame ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: The Egg Blizzard isn’t much of a threat because it only freezes Sonic. Once Sonic breaks out by shaking the Left Analog Stick, he’s back to normal. The others are more of a problem. In the Day Acts, wait for them to stop blowing before using a Homing Attack. In the Night Acts, Sonic can pick them up, and press Y to use their attacks against other enemies. If you use the Egg Blizzard, you have to punch enemies while they’re frozen to do damage. Thunder Ball ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: They guys follow the trails Sonic makes. In the Night Acts, Sonic can throw them at enemies, especially near water, to electrocute them. Aero-Cannon Gold Aero-Cannon ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: They’re basically Spinners with guns. Be careful when you Home Attack them because their gunfire can be fast and precise. Mole Cannon ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: These appear in the Day Acts. The only way to defeat them is to Stomp on them. Aero Chasers ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: They appear in certain Day Acts and run in front of Sonic, shooting 1 way beams, flames, and electric beams (jump over them). To defeat them, you have to boost into 1 or 2 Egg Fighters on their path, which will fly into them and destroy them. Sometimes they even destroy themselves by flying into walls. When they are attacked, they can’t use their attacks making your path easier to get through as you boost into more Egg Fighters. Interceptor ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: This robot just won’t quit. It appears in 3 of Sonic’s Daytime Acts and can’t be destroyed. The only thing to do is avoid its attacks using the LB/RB and boosting. It has 5 different attacks: Beam from the left shoulder- Only hits the left side of terrain. Beam from the center- Only hits the middle of terrain. Beam from the right shoulder- Only hits the right side of terrain. Shockwave- it smashes the ground sending a shockwave towards Sonic. Jump to avoid it. Roundhouse Punch- If its close enough, it may try to punch Sonic. I believe you can jump to avoid it, or just keep boosting. Sometimes the beams may move from the center to the left or right side. Dark Gaia’s Minions ================== These enemies only appear in the Werehog levels. Nightmare Critical Attack Bonus: 6000 Points Deep Nightmare Critical Attack Bonus: 8500 Points ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ QTE for Critical Attack: 2 Buttons Summary & Tips: Nightmares are the most common enemies you’ll face in the game. They have some as the same moves as the Werehog such as the Straight Punch, and they’ll block when you attack sometimes. The Deep Nightmares are more troublesome than the regular ones, so keep an eye out when you see them. Little Rex Red Rex ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: They aren’t very strong and don’t pose a threat to Sonic. When Sonic uses them to bash or throw at other enemies, they can cause a lot of damage. Dark Fright Red Fright ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: These little enemies have the same strength as the Rexes, but they are faster and can fly. They don’t pack the same punch when Sonic uses them as weapons, though. Evil Flower ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: These plants shoot energy balls in straight paths towards Sonic from a distance. However, they are very weak and can’t move. If you see them try to take them out first before focusing on other enemies. Dark Bat Dark Bat Sniper Thunder Bat ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: Every Dark Bat serves as a stepping stone for Sonic to get across to other areas. The normal ones are harmless. The Snipers will try to hit you with energy balls before you can grab them. The Thunder Bats release electricity periodically. If you have trouble grabbing while avoiding their attacks, use Unleash Mode. Killer Bee Critical Attack Bonus: 6500 Points Red Killer Bee Critical Attack Bonus: 8500 Points ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ QTE for Critical Attack: 1 Button Summary & Tips: These guys are ruthless. They’re fast and attack from a distance and up close when they’re near Sonic and dodge by flying above when you to attack. The Red ones are even more of a nuisance when in groups. The good news is that you can grab them without having to deal hits first and bash them into the ground and towards other enemies. Also, their Critical Attacks only require one Button push, but you have to be quick to finish it. Dark Eel ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Summary & Tips: These guys pop out of the ground and shoot energy balls at you. They are similar the Evil Flowers, except for the fact that they can fire 3 energy balls, pop back into the ground when you get closer, and they can take more hits. All you have to do is shield against their attacks and wait for them to them to come back out of the ground. Take them out, so you can focus on other enemies and not have to worry about dodging their attacks. Cure Master Critical Attack Bonus: 7000 -Heals other enemies Fire Master Critical Attack Bonus: 9000 -attacks with fire balls Note: Throw water barrels at it to put the fire out and attack directly or Comet/Missile Punch it Fright Master Critical Attack Bonus: 8500 -summons more Dark Frights to the field Lightning Master Critical Attack Bonus: 8500 -attacks with lightning balls Power Master Critical Attack Bonus: 8000 -makes other enemies stronger ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ QTE for Critical Attack: 1 Button Summary & Tips: When dealing with a group of enemies that don’t have a Big Mother or Titan, these are the guys you want to take out first. Besides Fire Master, attack them before they finish their magic circles and take them out. If you don’t they will electrocute you, burn you, create more enemies to fight, make the other enemies stronger, or heal the other enemies to full health. They aren’t light, so be careful when trying to pick them up. If they’re too far away to attack, throw smaller enemies at them before they finish the spell. Be careful when they swing their staffs in the air, because they can knock you to the ground. Big Mother ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Critical Attack Bonus: 20000 QTE for Critical Attack: 3 Buttons Summary & Tips: She is the second strongest Dark Gaia Minion you have to face. She tries to smack Sonic and do a spin attack with her long arms. She may also release Little Rex from the mouth on her stomach. Titan ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Critical Attack Bonus: 40000 QTE for Critical Attack: 3 Buttons Summary & Tips: The strongest Dark Gaia Minion you will have to deal with. He’ll neither try to smack you, hit you with his wooden club or create a shockwave by jumping or with his club that knocks Sonic out. Whenever you have to deal with these guys, use Unleash Mode. Then go in and do some attacks, dodge, and attack again. As soon as the Critical Attack Icon shows, use it to finish him off. You can also use his strength to your advantage, because his attacks can take out surrounding enemies. If you get hit by his Jump Shockwave and see another coming, don’t hit the A Button yet, because if Sonic is lying down he will avoid the second hit. 11.

FAQ ---------------------------------------- This section will answer any questions I’ve heard being asked repeatedly. Q: What is the Downloadable Content? A: It adds a certain amount of Day Acts and Night Acts to certain countries. There is DLC for every country except Eggmanland. Some of them are harder versions of regular Acts. Q: Should I buy this game/Would I like this game? A: Personally, I enjoyed it and I’m glad to add it to my collection of Sonic games. If you’re not sure whether or not to buy it, rent it first. Just don’t let reviews prevent you from playing a fun or potentially good game. Q: What are the differences between the Xbox 360 Version and the Wii/PS2 Versions of Sonic Unleashed? A: Although I’ve never actually played the other versions, here’s what I’ve seen and heard: -World Map -Town Stages (you can’t walk through the Town Stages in the Wii/PS2 versions) -Entrance Stages -Acts (Some levels like Empire City are exclusive to the Xbox 360/PS3 Versions) -Controls -Graphics (they’re better on the Xbox 360/PS3) -Boss Battles (some are more challenging on the Xbox 360/PS3 while others are better) -Medals (there are more Sun and Moon Medals to collect in the Xbox 360/PS3 Versions) -Items -Missions -Order of Cutscenes Q: What are the differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 Versions of Sonic Unleashed? A: Like I said before, I’ve only played the Xbox 360 version of this game. However, I have heard that the PS3 version has more frame rate problems and doesn’t show a cut scene of Sonic changing from Hedgehog to Werehog in the Town and Entrance Stages. Q: Are Knuckles and/or Shadow in this game? A: No. The only well known Sonic characters from past games, besides Sonic and Eggman, are Tails and Amy. Q: Can you raise Chao in this game? A: No, but you do see them in the game: -Wento’s Chao hand puppet and the item he sells (Chao Chugger) -you have to collect 10 in Rooftop Run Day Act 3 -they appear on the signs in Shamar and Arid Sands during the day -in Skyscraper Scamper Night Acts and Missions, there’s a neon sign that says “Chao Beans” Q: Can you play as Super Sonic through the regular levels? A: No. Just in the final boss battle. Q: Where’s the Day Act 3/Night Act 2/Boss for…? A: Not every country has a Day Act 3, Night Act 2, or Boss Battle. The only levels to play are listed in the Table of Contents and Levels Section. Q: When do I get to do the Ring Dash? A: When you find the Shoes in the Shamar Entrance Stage. Q: I just finished an Act…where do I go next? A: Read the Story Map in the Levels Section. Q: I’m missing a Sun Medal/Moon Medal/Art Book/Soundtrack/Videotape… A: Check Section 3 to find out what you’re missing and where it is, then check Section 5 to find out how to get it. Q: Where’s the best place to get Rings? A: Entrance Stages, Night Acts and Missions, and Ring Trials Q: Where’s the best place/way/food to get Experience? A: -Werehog Acts and Missions -Don Fachio’s Hot Dogs eating -Dureeks -Critical Attacks (Depending on where the enemy is sent after the attack affects where the Chaos Orbs fall) Q: Where’s the best place to get Medals? A: Anywhere. Some are easier to find than others while others are pretty well hidden. Q: What’s up with your Record List? A: My list is based on the same order as the one in Prof Pickle’s Lab. However, some Records found are given numbers that don’t go in that order. I believe I fixed all the mistakes but if you see one, please contact me (See Section 11). Q: WHERE ON EARTH IS ART BOOK NUMBER 40?!!! A: I heard that Sandra gives it to you after doing all her quizzes, but I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or a version exclusive thing. Some people have received it from her while others have her disappear from Shamar altogether (which is what happened in my game). I heard that the new download fixes the Art Book 40 Glitch and has the Quiz Lady appear in Shamar if she didn’t before. I might still experiment to see what causes the glitch. Q: What’s up with the number on the World Map, above the Sun and Moon Medal total? A: That number represents Acts and Missions during the Daytime and Nighttime. For some Countries there’s a glitch that prevents it from becoming complete, like 11/13 for Chun-nan, even when you do all the Missions. Q: I’m missing some Sun and Moon Medals in Spagonia and I’ve collected them all in the Town Stage, Entrance Stage, Acts, and Missions… A: There are 6 Sun Medals and 6 Moon Medals that are added to Spagonia after giving Prof Pickle a souvenir. When he gives you one is random and it doesn’t matter if you give him souvenirs when he’s in his Spagonia Lab or Shamar Lab. 14.
