This guide uses a Quick Search Feature which takes advantage of the Find
feature used by many web browsers. This feature will allow you to go to any
chapter or section in this guide quickly.
On the left side of many of the chapters, as well as the right side of each
of the major section headers, in the Table of Contents is a four character
code. To access any of those chapters or sections do CTRL-F (PC) or Clover-F
(Mac) to activate the Find feature in the web browser. Then enter the code in
BRACKETS (or at least the left bracket) like this:
[xxxx] or [xxxx
You will notice that the chapters for the Main Story Missions do not have a
four character code. They are accessed a little differently. To access any of
the Main Story Mission chapters you activate the Find feature and enter the >
character followed by the chapter number like this:
>KR6 or >ZD12
This feature also works backwards. You will notice that the Table of Contents
has it's own four character code. Should you want to quickly go back to the
top of this document input the four letter code for the Table and you will
instantly be back at the top of the guide.

| I.1. Who Am I? |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA).
I also own multiple systems such as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo,
Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.
I currently work at JCPenneys at one of the malls here in San Antonio, TX.
Retail isn't the best job in the world but JCPenneys is a very stable company
unlike some of the other places I have worked for in the past like internet
service providers or web programming companies.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. I have extended the
play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many times over
plus I have received many letters from all over the world.
I am also what one may call an RGB enthusiast. I hack my game consoles to try
to get the best possible video from them and that usually involves tapping
into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on the right monitors to
achieve my desires. To this end I became a member of the GamesX.com mod forum
and I post regularly on their "RGB + Video Discussions" forum area.
In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems.
I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
www.Atariage.com and Digital Press, and I am also a member of the MOFAT (a
members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" players
who met on the "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" message boards at GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include Godzilla (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and Red Dwarf (I own all eight series on DVD).
As far as favorite sports teams go my teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
[the local team], the Denver Broncos (NFL) [although I live in Texas I am
originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado], and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA
Football).

| I.2. My Setup [MYST] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This guide was constructed using TextWrangler 2.3 on a 1.5Ghz Single Core
Intel Mac Mini. I view my work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look
on the web and correct format errors.
I also play "Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Parts 1 and 2)" on a Viewsonic A70
RGB monitor using the Xbox 360 VGA cable.
When I do my writing and guide revisions I run my Mac (on a Dell monitor)
alongside the Xbox 360 (on my Viewsonic A70 monitor). This way I can
simultaneously play and make changes to the guide at the same time.
The sound is hooked up to an old stereo box I got from Radio Shack when I
acquired my first Amiga 500 in 1990 and it has served me well considering its
age.

Welcome to my "Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Parts 1 and 2)" guide! If this is
the first time you have visited, you will find a lot of useful information in
a highly organized format.
Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are presented "as is" and may include
spelling and grammatical errors.
When I first posted my initial version of my "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"
guide in 2003, I did not know how well it would go over and how many people
would respond. I wasn't exactly swamped with e-mail but I do get letters from
time to time.
Sometimes people would ask for advice and others would say how cool the guide
is. All it takes is for one person to say how good and useful your guide is
to make it all worthwhile. And others have made suggestions that have been
incorporated into my guides.
I want to thank GameFAQs for creating a place where such documents can be
hosted for the benefit of all gamers. I also want to thank IGN.com,
NeoSeeker.com, TheVGNation.com, GameHelper.com, and many other sites for
their generosity in hosting this guide along with my other work on their
sites.
I also want to thank everybody who has taken the time to download and
read this guide.
And, of course, I want to give a special thanks to all those who have taken
the time to write to me and tell me what you thought, make suggestions, and

"Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Parts 1 and 2)" were two games that could be
downloaded onto the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles and tied into the "Watchmen"
book and movie.
Later, in the summer of 2009, these two games were packaged on their own disc
for those who did not have the ability to download them onto their consoles.
At their core these games are nothing more than brawlers utilizing two
characters from the book, Rorschach and Nite Owl. These two crime-fighters
formed their own team dynamic in the sixties and seventies and these games
take place during this partnership.
Although the game has some pretty graphics it doesn't have much in the
gameplay department which is the major criticism these games have received.
However, I do like the fact that the two actors who played Rorschach and Nite
Owl, Jackie Earle Haley (a fellow San Antonian) and Patrick Wilson, reprised
their roles for the game lending added authenticity.
The major reason to pick up this title is that it delves a little into some
side areas of the "Watchmen" universe.
Speaking of which.....

| I.7.A. The "Watchmen" Book \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
"Watchmen", written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, was
published as a 12-part comic book mini-series in 1986-1987 by DC Comics (and
later re-published as a graphic novel). The book was meant as a
deconstruction of superhero mythology using a specific visual layout and
heavy use of symbolism.
Reaction to the book was phenomenal and is considered to be one of the finest
works of fiction ever produced. It also helped to alter perceptions of what a
comic book can and should be. It is the only graphic novel on the list of
Time Magazine's 100 best english-language novels list.
Rorschach, one of the characters you control in the game, is considered one
of the most popular comic book characters of all time. He is number sixteen
on Empire Magazine's and number six on Wizard Magazine's greatest comic book
character lists.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.7.B. The "Watchmen" Universe \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
In this sub-chapter I will explain a little about the "Watchmen" universe and
backstory.
"Watchmen" takes place in an alternate version of American history.
In the late thirties there were men and women who donned costumes and helped
fight crime as "masked vigilantes" or "masks". They went by the names of Nite
Owl, Silk Spectre, The Comedian, Mothman, Dollar Bill, and others.
They would then form a group that would be known as the Minutemen.
This group of heroes went after similar costumed criminals and became real
popular with the public. However, after some time, the public grew
disinterested and the criminals went on to other forms of crime. This would
force the Minutemen to disband.
However, the Minutemen were around enough to inspire a new generation of
masks. And thus the Crimebusters was born (it should be noted that this group
were never called the Watchmen in the book - only in the movie were they
called the Watchmen).
This new group had members with names like Silk Spectre II (daughter of the
first Silk Spectre), Nite Owl II, Ozymandias, Rorschach, and Captain
Metropolis. The Comedian, from the original Minutemen, also joined the group.
Up until the sixties these crime-fighters were really just normal men and
women who were stronger and smarter and used these abilities to help fight
crime.
Then came Doctor Manhattan.
Doctor Manhattan was once Jon Osterman, a scientist. Unfortunately he got
caught in a powerful science experiment and was disintegrated. However, he
managed to reform himself as a powerful being of blue quantum energy and
became the only person of the Crimebusters to have any actual super powers.
After President Nixon took office, in the late sixties, he convinced Doctor
Manhattan to go help The Comedian who was in Vietnam to help with the war
effort. As a result America won the Vietnam War. Later, President Nixon would
get the 22nd Amendment (two-term limit for Presidents) repealed so he could
run for as many terms as he wanted.
By the seventies public perception of masks was growing increasingly hostile.
In 1977, the Crimebusters attempted to help quell public disturbances caused
by a huge police strike. But this only made matters worse.
During this time Congress passed the Keene Act which outlawed all masked
vigilantism unless supported by the US government. This left only The
Comedian and Doctor Manhattan to operate.
All of the other Crimebusters were forced to retire. However, Rorschach
refused to retire and continued his crime fighting activities.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.7.C. The "Watchmen" Story \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
The actual story itself starts in October, 1985.
President Nixon is still in the White House. Global tensions are at an
all-time high.
And the New York Police begin investigation of someone who was thrown from a
high-rise and fell to his death.
After the Police leave, Rorschach uses a grappling gun to enter through the
broken window. After some examination of the apartment he discovers that the
dead man was Edward Blake. Otherwise known as The Comedian.
And thus Rorschach begins an investigation of his own. One that has serious
repercussions for the other surviving but retired crime-fighters.
And for the world itself.

| I.7.D. The "Watchmen" Movie \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Not surprisingly the success of the book caught the attention of Hollywood
who wanted to do their own interpretation of the title. They began trying to
make a movie of the book almost as soon as it was finished in 1987.
Unfortunately, the book would end up in what is known as "development hell"
where it would go through many writers, directors, and actors. It would also
sit unused somewhere for some period of time.
Finally, in 2007, Zach Snyder, who was fresh off of the enormous success of
"300", also based off a graphic novel, managed to finally start filming of
the "Watchmen" movie. He made every effort to remain faithful to the book
while making some changes of his own to help make the story fit the medium.
During the summer and fall of 2008 the trailers were released and caused a
frenzy amongst fans and made others who never read the book, like myself,
pick it up and start reading.
The film was finally released on March 6, 2009. It took in $57 million on its
opening weekend, which was good, but not as good as the $70 million plus that
"300", Zach's previous film did on its opening weekend.
Worse, the film did a quick fade as time went on. The complex narrative of
the film turned some people away and there was controversy over the nudity of
Doctor Manhattan.
By the time the film left theaters it barely made over $100 million in the US
and just a little over $184 million worldwide. Considering that the film cost
somewhere around $130 million to make this was a major disappointment.
Now let's go back to the games themselves starting with the.....

symbol (Doctor Manhattan's symbol) appear in the upper right corner of the
screen.

| I.13. Using Objects [USBJ] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
When you see a door, pipe, ladder, switch, or lever shimmer then you can use
it or open it by pressing the Use button.
However, as long as there are enemies present in an area, you may not be able
to use these objects until they are dispatched.

0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.14.A. Basic Attacks and Defense \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Fast Attacks (X Button - Xbox 360, Square Button - PS3) are quick attacks
that don't do a lot of damage but can be used to set up combos and counter
attacks.
Heavy Attacks (Y Button - Xbox 360, Triangle Button - PS3) are more powerful
but slower and can be easily guarded. In addition, you are also vulnerable to
being grabbed and hit by an enemy.
Dodge/Block (Right Bumper - Xbox 360, R1 Button - PS3) allows you to defend
and set up counter attacks.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.14.B. Counter Attack \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
You can counter an attack or disarm an enemy after blocking or dodging. To do
a counter attack you press the Fast Attack button after doing a block/dodge.
Counter attacking is easy to do and can be done repeatedly when facing a
large group of enemies who have converged on you. This will keep them from
doing damage to you.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.14.C. Throws \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Another move you can do is to throw enemies. To throw them approach one then
use the Throw button. You can also throw them into other enemies and damage
them.
You can throw enemies over railings and into fires to dispatch them quickly.
However, if an enemy is blocking then you cannot throw him/her.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.14.D. Finishing Moves \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
After you do a certain amount of damage to an enemy you may find one of four
button icons appear above his/her head:
--Throw
--Fast Attack
--Heavy Attack
--Block/Dodge
If you press the corresponding button then you will perform a Finishing Move.
This is a brutal move that will take down an enemy instantly.
You can also perform Finishing Moves when an enemy is on the ground and you
are kicking him/her.
Performing Finishing Moves will rapidly fill up your special ability meter
allowing you to use your special abilities to the fullest.
In addition, you cannot be attacked while doing a Finishing Move.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.14.E. Combo and Power-Up Tokens \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
In "W:TEiN: Part One" you must find the Combo and Power-Up Tokens before you
can use a particular combo or power-up.
Each combo or power-up found in this guide will look like this:
0PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP0
| Combo or Power-Up (Character) \
|PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP0
| Where the item can be found. |
0PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP0
For "W:TEiN: Part Two" this is unnecessary since all combos are available at
the start.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.14.F. Combos \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
In this sub-section I list the combos for Rorschach and Nite Owl. There are
eight combos for each character.
The combos are done using the Fast and Heavy Attack buttons. To perform a
combo you must press each attack button right at the time of the previous
attack.
If you manage to do the second move correctly you will see the button icons
appear on the screen. When you complete a combo then stop pressing the
buttons. This will finish the combo and it will then be performed (it should
be noted that you can be interrupted while performing a combo).
Completing combos will also rapidly fill up your special ability meter which
will allow you to make the most of your special abilities. The more powerful
the combo, the more it fills up.
It takes a little time to get the hang of the timing but once you do then you
can really tear through both games utilizing your combos.
In "W:TEiN: Part One" you must find the Combo Tokens before you can use a
particular combo. All combos are available at the start of "W:TEiN: Part
Two".
Now for the list of combos for both characters:

| I.14.G. Combo Chaining \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Another thing to know about combos is that you can chain them to make a long
powerful super combo that can take down enemies quickly.
In addition, the last move of one combo can be the first move of the next
combo.
An example:
Let's say you are Rorschach and you are facing a large enemy. Let's start
with Fast Stun Combo:
F + H + F
As it is being performed let's input the moves of the next combo - Fast Area
Attack:
H + H
Note that I only input the last two moves of that combo instead of the entire
combo. You see, as you input those two moves the button icons will shift to
the left. After you finish with those inputs you should have Fast Area Attack
Combo completed using the last move from the first combo so it should look
like this:
F + H + H
As that combo is being performed I input the moves for the next combo -
Maximum Damage:
F + F + F + H
Note that I only input the last four moves instead of the entire combo. I
complete this combo using the last two moves from the previous combo so now I
have the entire Maximum Damage Combo:
H + H + F + F + F + H
This long combo chain finally takes down my large enemy.
And this is what the long combo chain looks like when completed:
F + H + (F) + (H) + (H) + F + F + F + H
The moves in parenthesis are the moves that "couple" the combos in the chain.
Once you know how to chain combos then you can really kick some serious ass.
Now let's move onto the characters themselves and their special
abilities.....

| I.15. Rorschach and Nite Owl [RSNT] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In this chapter I go over the characters and their abilities.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.15.A. Rorschach \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
0===========0
| Background \
0=============0
Rorschach's real name is Walter Kovacs. He was born into a abusive single
parent environment with his mother. His mother was a prostitute and was
resentful and cruel towards young Walter.
At the age of eleven he viciously attacked a couple of boys which led to
the investigation of his home. When the state found out about his mother
they took him away from her and put him into a home for problem children.
When he became of age he left the home and took a job in the garment
industry. During this time he encountered a dress made of a special
material that he happened to admire but the intended recipient, Kitty
Genovese, didn't like. So he kept it.
When Kitty was murdered he made masks out of the dress and became
Rorschach.
++NOTE: For more information on the Rorschach Mask and the Kitty
Genovese murder please refer to Section IV near the end of this
guide.
0===============0
| Fighting Style \
0=================0
Rorschach's fighting style can be best described as brutal. His goal is to
inflict as much damage as possible on his enemy. This is especially
apparent with his finishing moves.
In addition, Rorschach can use weapons that are either laying around or
grabbed from enemies. This makes him even more dangerous.
The weapons he uses will break after a few hits. However, the weapon won't
degrade when used during a Counter Attack or Finishing Move. So the weapon
will last longer when you do a bunch of Finishing or Counter Attack moves
close together.
Rorschach doesn't block but he can efficiently dodge attacks and get out of
the way. He can also roll around on the ground to avoid other attacks. This
gives him additional speed that his partner doesn't have.
One other thing about his dodging ability. When you are near an enemy and
you dodge around an enemy you can, somehow, stun him/her. This can be
useful to set up an attack or allow your partner to perform his own attack
on the enemy.
0=====================================0
| Rage Gauge, Bull Rush, and Rage Mode \
0=======================================0
Beneath Rorschach's Health Meter is his Rage Meter. To fill it up you must
attack enemies. Each time you hit an enemy it fills up a little. Each time
you get hit it will also fill up a little.
To fill it up faster you must perform Finishing Moves and powerful combos.
The more powerful the combo, the faster the meter fills up.
When you have some Rage then you can perform the Bull Rush move using the
Special Ability #1 button. This move makes Rorschach rapidly charge
forward, head first, into an enemy or a large group of enemies. This causes
considerable damage to a group of enemies and can take down a single weak
enemy with one hit.
When the Rage Meter is flashing then you can activate Rage Mode with the
Special Ability #2 button. This allows Rorschach to channel his rage into a
blind fury which makes him faster and more powerful for a short time. When
he is in Rage Mode the Rage Meter will start to decrease. Performing combos
and Finishing Moves will keep the Rage Mode going. When the Rage Meter
empties then the Rage Mode ends.
It should be noted that if you have any Rage and you stop fighting then it
will start to go down after awhile as Rorschach calms down.
It should be noted that in "W:TEiN: (Part One)" you must find the Bull Rush
and Rage Mode Tokens before you can use them.
0================0
| Rorschach Cards \
0==================0
You can permanently increase the amount of rage you can store for your Rage
Meter by finding the Rorschach Cards hidden throughout both games (ten for
Part One, six for Part Two).
Each Rorschach Card found in this guide will look like this:
0CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC0
| Rorschach Card #X \
|CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC0
| Where the Rorschach Card is found. |
0CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC0
Some of these are easily found but most of them are behind locked doors
which leads to.....
0============0
| Lockpicking \
0==============0
Another Rorschach ability is to lockpick gates. To lockpick just go up to a
locked gate and press the Use button.
One HIGHLY recommended suggestion is, prior to doing any lockpicking, is to
go into your control settings and switch the Bull Rush button to the LEFT
side of your joypad. I'll explain why in a little bit.
When you start lockpicking you will see several spring loaded tumblers. To
open the lock you must set all of the tumblers in the up position.
There are three parts of note here:
First is the CYLINDER where all of the tumblers have settled into. The
second is the BOTTOM part (the brass part) of the tumbler which can be of
various lengths. The third is the TOP part (the silver part - where it is
connected to the spring) of the tumbler which is always the same length.
In order to set (dislodge) the tumbler you must use the Left Analog Stick
to move the lock pick left or right to place it under a tumbler. Then use
the Right Analog Stick to push the lock pick up to move the tumbler up.
Then, when the bottom of the TOP part of the tumbler is in line with the
top of the CYLINDER then press Bull Rush to set the tumbler (you should
also see the Bull Rush button icon flashing on the right side of the screen
when you have it in the correct position).
If you do this correctly then you should see the top part of the tumbler
dislodge and set.
One annoying thing about lockpicking is that Bull Rush is usually on the
right side of the joypad. Sometimes, if you have a tumbler where you want
it then try to set it by using your right index finger you may find your
right thumb shifting as you are squeezing which may cause the tumbler to
move out of position.
So, when you press Bull Rush, this may cause all of the tumblers you have
set to come back down and you will have to start over. This is why it is
recommended you switch Bull Rush to the left side for at least the
lockpicking segment.
Another annoying thing about lockpicking is the strict use of the Right
Analog Stick when pushing up. This becomes apparent when you are dealing
with a tumbler with a very short bottom piece. If you don't push it
straight up, and I do mean straight up, you may find that the lock pick
won't go all the way up to set the tumbler. If you push up but with even
the slightest angle, left or right, it won't go all the way up.
When you have successfully set all of the tumblers then the lock will open.
Because of the various lengths of the bottom parts of the tumblers you will
have to find the best order to set the tumblers to open the door. In some
cases you can set more than one tumbler at once.
0=========0
| Climbing \
0===========0
Another Rorschach ability is to climb pipes. When you find a pipe you can
climb it up or down by pressing the Use button.
/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
| I.15.B. Nite Owl \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
0===========0
| Background \
0=============0
Nite Owl's real name is Dan Dreiberg. Inspired by the exploits of the
original Nite Owl, Dan contacted Hollis Mason, the first Nite Owl, and
asked if he could carry on the name. Hollis agreed and thus Dan became Nite
Owl II.
Using a large inheritance and fantastic technical knowhow Dan built all
kinds of gadgets, including his own aircraft, nicknamed the Owl Ship, to
help fight crime.
He wears a special suit that contains special compact electrical generators
that allow him to charge up his OwlSuit and make him more powerful. His
suit also makes him stronger allowing him to lift heavy objects.
0===============0
| Fighting Style \
0=================0
Nite Owl's fighting style can be best described as elegant. His goal is to
incapacitate his enemies quickly. In addition, although Nite Owl can disarm
his opponents he cannot use any weapons he takes - he will just drop it.
In addition, Nite Owl doesn't dodge unlike his partner. He will block
incoming attacks instead.
When you get the Electrify OwlSuit upgrade you will gain the ability to
electrify your blocks which will damage the enemy a little when you
successfully block an attack. However, this subtracts from your Charge
Meter which may make it more difficult to use your special abilities.
Also, Nite Owl is slower than Rorschach which may make it hard to run away
from a group of fast enemies.
0==============================================0
| Charge Gauge, Grenades, and Electrify OwlSuit \
0================================================0
Beneath Nite Owl's Health Meter is his Charge Meter. The Charge Meter will
start to fill up on its own when you start a chapter. However, it will take
awhile to let it fill completely this way (especially after you find some
OwlSuit Batteries).
To fill it up faster you must perform Finishing Moves and powerful combos.
The more powerful the combo, the faster the gauge fills up.
When you have some Charge then you can use the Grenade by pressing the
Special Ability #1 button. This will stun nearby enemies for a short time
to allow you to perform other moves on them.
When the Charge Meter is flashing then you can activate Electrify OwlSuit
with the Special Ability #2 button. This will emit a powerful electrical
blast which will damage and stun nearby enemies.
In addition, this will temporarily electrify the OwlSuit which will make
you more powerful for a short time. During this time you will see a blue
bar in your Charge Meter. This is how long the OwlSuit is electrified. When
the blue bar disappears then the OwlSuit is no longer electrified.
It should be noted that in "W:TEiN: (Part One)" you must find the Grenade
and Electrify OwlSuit Tokens before you can use them.
0==================0
| OwlSuit Batteries \
0====================0
You can permanently increase the amount of charge you can store for your
Charge Meter by finding the OwlSuit Batteries hidden throughout both games
(ten for Part One, six for Part Two).
Each OwlSuit Battery found in this guide will look like this:
0BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB0
| OwlSuit Battery #X \
|BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB0
| Where the OwlSuit Battery is found. |
0BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB0
0==========0
| Grappling \
0============0
Another Nite Owl ability is to grapple up buildings using your Grappling
Gun. To grapple up rotate the camera until you see a grapple point and
press the Use button. You can also grapple down by being near a grapple
point and pressing the Use button.
0========0
| Lifting \
0==========0
Another Nite Owl ability is to lift gates (because of his increased
strength) for Rorschach to climb under. When you find a lift gate you can
lift it by rapidly pressing the Use button.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| I.16. Basic Strategies [BSTR] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Listed in this chapter are some basic strategies to use:
0==================0
| Counter Attacking \
0====================0
When surrounded by enemies just keep repeating the Counter Attack move. When
any of them try to do anything you will automatically perform the move on
them. This will also disarm them, damage them, and keep them from doing much
damage to you.
0=============================0
| Throwing Their Weight Around \
0===============================0
Throwing enemies around is also a good way to damage them. Especially if you
throw them into each other. Throwing them over railings, into water, and into
fire is also a good way to dispatch them quickly.
If you throw them into the ground then it will make it easier to get rid of
them since all you need to do is to just kick them into submission.
0=======================0
| Indestructible Partner \
0=========================0
In single player your partner is indestructible. He can take all of the
damage in the world and he won't go down (but he'll complain a lot). Use this
to your advantage when you get low on health.
He can also distract enemies so you can get them from behind and finish them
yourself.
0=============0
| Out of Sight \
0===============0
Another trick, useful for acquiring certain Achievements/Trophies and when
you are low on health, is hiding from the enemy. If they can't see you, even
if you think they know you are there, then they won't attack you and instead
they will go after your partner.

| I.17. Accomplishments [AMLS] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
For each game I will list all of the Accomplishments that can be acquired
for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of "Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Parts 1 and
2)".
Now, for the sake of terminology and to lessen confusion within this guide,
Accomplishments are what are known as Achievements on the Xbox 360 version
and Trophies on the PS3 version.
To those who do not know, Achievements and Trophies can be considered a
different kind of scoring system. Each Xbox 360 game has 1000 Achievement
Points that can be obtained.
However, the PS3 Trophies do not have a point system attached to them
although the numbers of Trophies attained can be considered a way of keeping
score (as well as add some kind of experience points in the PlayStation
Network system). In addition, the Trophies are split into Bronze, Silver,
Gold, and Platinum classes.
The Achievement system was built into the Xbox 360 from the start, something
that was not done for the PS3 but the Trophies can be added with a system
update.
Some Accomplishments can be acquired by simply playing through the game.
Others can be obtained by doing certain objectives outside of normal
gameplay. To many gamers this adds to the replay value of each game and gives
them bragging rights on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network where these scores
are posted.
Most of the Accomplishments within these games are easy to get. Some require
more work.
And now, for the first game.....

that I was able to go through quickly
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.2. Enemies [ENMO] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In this chapter I go over the enemies you will encounter in the first five
chapters of the game (the last chapter is the big showdown). Each chapter has
a different enemy and they get progressively harder as you go along.
There are two types of enemies: Normal and Heavy. A Normal enemy is about the
same body type as our heroes. A Heavy enemy is much larger and will take more
hits to bring down. A Heavy enemy is also much stronger but they are slower
allowing you to dodge or block their incoming attacks.
Now for the list of enemies you will encounter (by chapter):
>>Chapter I
*********
The enemies in this chapter are the Inmates. They are pretty easy to deal
with and can be easily thrown (once you earn the Throw Power-Up). Although
they are fairly weak they can be dangerous in numbers.
>>Chapter II
**********
The enemies in this chapter are the Bikers. They are little tougher than
the Inmates. You will also start to encounter Heavy enemies and this will
make things more interesting.
>>Chapter III
***********
The enemies in this chapter are the Knot Tops, a large gang who wear a
Japanese inspired hairstyle. They are tougher than the Bikers and tend to
block or dodge often. This means you can't throw them as easily as the
previous enemies. The Knot Tops also count Heavies as members and will make
things tougher on you.
>>Chapter IV
**********
The enemies in this chapter are the Mercenaries (Mercs). They are tougher
than the Knot Tops and most of them carry knives (which can do serious
damage). There are no Heavies to fight but it is best to use your special
abilities when surrounded by a group of Mercs.
>>Chapter V
*********
The enemies in this chapter are the Cops. They are reasonably tough and
most of them carry batons. They can do some serious damage to you if they
manage to hit you from behind with a baton. There are no Heavies but they
are dangerous especially in groups. Still, they are not too tough if you
use your combos and special abilities appropriately.
And now, on to the game.....

| II.3. As the Story Begins..... [ABGN] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
October 13, 1972.
Dan (Nite Owl) is currently tinkering with Archie, the Owl Ship, as Rorschach
is reading the newspaper nearby. The headlines tell of President Nixon's lead
in the election standings and of a FBI Associate Director who has been
missing for six days.
Dan talks of going to Columbia University to hear two former Washington Post
reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, talk of some stunning information
concerning the Watergate Hotel break-in the previous June. But Rorschach
thinks little of the two reporters.
++NOTE: For more information regarding Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
please refer to Section IV (in the "Watchmen" **SPOILERS**
chapter) near the end of this guide.
Suddenly, the conversation is interrupted by a police bulletin coming over
the radio. A power blackout has started a riot at Sing Sing Prison.
And now the duo board Archie and fly to the prison.....

After reaching the shower room where the explosion occurred the duo are
confronted by the warden who isn't too happy about their interference.
However, he is grateful that they managed to put down all of the prisoners.
But one is missing - Underboss.
The warden then wants to inter them to determine damages but Doctor Manhattan
appears to lend assistance. But he is too late.
As he disappears the warden decides to let Nite Owl and Rorschach go to find
Underboss. Rorschach decides to go to a popular bar called the Rumrunner.
As they approach the area and drop down to the ground from Archie they happen
upon an attack on a woman by some Bikers.....
0===========================================================================0
This is probably the best place to do the "Untouchable" Accomplishment using
Nite Owl on a second play-though after obtaining all collectibles and combos.
I chose Nite Owl because of his Grenades and Electrify OwlSuit which can be
very useful in keeping enemies from touching you.
I chose this chapter for this Accomplishment because of the larger areas you
can run around in which makes it easier to avoid most combat situations.
When you encounter any Bikers run as far back from the action as you can. The
Bikers chasing you will eventually give up and head back to Rorschach who
will beat them into submission.
There are a couple of areas of note that you will have to be careful with and
I will offer suggestions on how to deal with them.
0===========================================================================0
0========0

To start you will be attacked by three Bikers. From here, head into the
nearby alley.

|CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC0
| When you get inside the alley you will see an open gate to your left that |
| you need to go through to go to the next area. But there is another gate |
| ahead and to the right that can be picked. This lock has three tumblers. |
| The tumbler order to unlock the gate is: |
| |
| >>Tumbler #3 (which will lock Tumbler #1). |
| >>Tumbler #2. |
| |
| Go into the next area and turn left. On your right you should see some |
| scaffolds. Just beyond them is a little nook on the right that is |
| brightly lit. The Rorschach Card can be found there. |

| From where you found Rorschach Card #2, continue forward down this alley |
| and hang a left. You should see a dumpster. The Combo is next to this |
| dumpster. From here you can pick the lock of the nearby gate to continue |
| if you want instead of backtracking through the other gate. This lock has |
| four tumblers. The tumbler order to unlock the gate is: |
| |
| >>Tumbler #2. |

| degrees and look up. You should see a Way Up sign near the top of the |
| rooftop. Grapple up then proceed forward and turn left. You should see a |

Owl, the moment you get to the ground immediately turn left and
head to the nearby pickup truck and stand at its rear gate. All of
the enemies will head toward Rorschach and leave you alone. If the
fight drifts in your direction then run around the nearby corner to
the Rumrunner entrance. Take down anybody who follows with the
Grenade. If you've done everything right you should get the
Accomplishment when you go through the entrance when all of the
Bikers are taken down.
From here, proceed through the entrance to end the chapter.

The duo chase Jimmy the Gimmick up a roller-coaster ride. As they reach the
top they trap Jimmy.
Then a mysterious person triggers the roller-coaster and it heads toward
Jimmy. Nite Owl stops the roller-coaster with his grappling gun and holds it.
This prompts Jimmy to talk. Jimmy tells of delivering specialized equipment
to Underboss's hideout. Then someone shoots the cable holding the
roller-coaster and it rolls toward and hits Jimmy.
Jimmy is barely alive but now the duo head towards Underboss's old hideout:
the sewers.....

After Nite Owl and Rorschach go through Underboss's lair they pass by a door.
As they go by it they hear a muffled groan.
They go back to investigate and find a badly tortured person tied to a chair.
This person is Mark Felt, the FBI Associate Director who has been missing for
nearly a week.
He tells the duo that the person who tortured him is going to kill the two
reporters, Woodward and Bernstein. Felt tells them that the killer is going
to meet them at a construction site, at 39th and Charlton, at 3 AM.
But he dies before he can tell them who the killer is. As the duo leave they
are ambushed by the Cops. They have no choice but to fight them if they want
to save the reporters.....

At the construction site at 39th and Charlton, for the currently under
construction Institute for Extraspatial Studies, Underboss finds his car. He
opens his trunk to find all sorts of cool weapons. But he also stumbles upon
the bodies of Woodward and Bernstein who are stashed in the trunk.
Nite Owl and Rorschach finally appear as Underboss is discovering the bodies
of the reporters. The duo believe that Underboss has killed them even though
Underboss pleads his innocence. The duo won't believe him and Underboss runs
into the construction site.
Here, at the construction site, you will finally face Underboss. He will then
run up several floors and you have to chase him up the building. This fight
is divided into several stages.
0========0
| Stage 1 \
0==========0
On the second floor he will call some henchmen to deal with you. These
henchmen are weak and can be easily disposed. Fight them off then proceed
after him.
You will encounter more henchmen on the fourth and sixth floors including one
large group of nine. While you are fighting that large group, Underboss will
climb up to the seventh floor.
0========0
| Stage 2 \
0==========0
On the seventh floor you can now fight him. He has a very long health bar
which will appear at the top of the screen. It should be noted that if you
lose the fight at any time you will have to restart here.
In addition, when you finish the game and can replay the chapters you start
off here when you play Chapter VI.
You can't do any damage to him from the back because of the equipment he is
wearing. You have to attack him from the front. However, as Nite Owl, you can
attack him from the back if you use the Electrify OwlSuit and charge yourself
up.
Your special attacks won't work on him but you can still use the Rage Mode
and the Electrify OwlSuit. In addition, your partner CANNOT do any damage to
him regardless. You must do all of the damage yourself.
Every so often Underboss will counterattack by announcing "Incoming!" When he
does that then dodge or block.
Regardless of character hit him a couple of times with your Maximum Damage
combos.
0========0
| Stage 3 \
0==========0
When you get to the eighth floor Underboss will call forth some more
henchmen. It is important to note that Underboss has a nasty habit of coming
up behind you as you are trying to deal with his henchmen.
The best thing to do, starting at the ladder, is go right then right again at
the metal beam and follow the way then turn right again at the metal beam to
put yourself at the other side of the floor. If you're quick enough this
should keep Underboss pinned on the other side and allow you to dispose of
some of Underboss's henchmen.
However, more henchmen will continue to appear as long as Underboss has not
been chased to the next area. But you should thin them out a little bit so
you can approach Underboss.
As Nite Owl, Underboss has a very nasty habit of coming up behind you and
constantly hitting you and forcing you to block constantly. Because of Nite
Owl's slow speed it will make it difficult to get away or attack. Between
swings try to make a quick combo to get him off you.
As Rorschach, you will find that when you go to the other side of the floor
Underboss will follow you. But most of the henchmen will focus on Nite Owl
and thin out enough on your end to get a good shot at Underboss.
When you finally get a good shot at Underboss hit him with a Maximum Damage
combo. This should be enough to chase him off to the next area. Get rid of
the remaining henchmen so you can go to the next floor.
0========0
| Stage 4 \
0==========0
When you get to where Underboss is you will be on the top floor of the
building. He will also rip a pole and use it as a weapon. This will make him
even more dangerous.
Regardless of character, use your Maximum Damage combo twice on him to start
the next stage of this battle.
0========0
| Stage 5 \
0==========0
When you reduce his health enough he will jump to a platform made of pipes
and is held by a crane. He will then use his flamethrower against you. It is
best to stay on one end of the floor, which is the end with the ladder you
cam up on, so he can't reach you.
At this point more henchmen will appear. Your goal is to grab them and throw
them at Underboss. If you are successful then you will get him to come off of
it.
Wait for Underboss to sweep sweep away from you then go to middle and throw a
henchman toward Underboss.
Then continue to attack Underboss to reduce his health. It should be noted at
this point that he can quickly counterattack without warning. Using small
combos will often result on you being knocked to the ground. When you reduce
his health enough he will jump back onto the platform and the pattern
repeats.
You need to get him to jump off the platform four times before you can
finally defeat Underboss. The last time he jumps off, the platform will
disintegrate.
Now for some character specific notes:
>>Rorschach
*********
At this stage your Maximum and Extra Damage Combos won't fully work. You
can execute them but before you can reach the end and get the maximum
damage out of it Underboss will hit you to break the combo.
Best thing to do is, as you get near the end of the combo, dodge so
Underboss can't hit you. Then perform the combo again and repeat.
When the pipe platform finally disintegrates then use the Rage Mode to
make yourself more powerful and quickly finish Underboss off.
>>Nite Owl
********
At some point during this stage you may find that your Maximum Damage
won't work. Underboss will hit you long before you can get started.
Smaller combos won't work either. Use the Grenade to stun him long
enough to get him with some good hits.
However, I found on subsequent play-throughs, that he doesn't always try
kill your Maximum Damage combo. If you can continue to use the combo
then use it.
When the platform disintegrates use the Electrify OwlSuit to charge
yourself up and finish Underboss off quickly.

Even in defeat Underboss continues to plead his innocence in regards to the
Woodward/Bernstein murders. But he is shot and knocked off the floor by an
unseen assailant before he can tell them who Nite Owl and Rorschach should be
looking for.
The duo realize that they may have been duped and may never know the forces
at play behind this conspiracy.
As the story ends President Nixon is re-elected and Rorschach wonders how
long before darkness wins out over good.....

| Shorter \
0==========0
This game is much shorter being only three chapters instead of six.
0============================0
| Easier to Get Out of Grasps \
0==============================0
In the first game, when you got grabbed by an enemy, you couldn't get out of
it. Here, in Part Two, if you get grabbed, you can get out of it by using the
Block/Dodge button before the enemy can hit you.

Another type of gate is used for Part Two: the two-man gate. This is a gate
that requires both characters to use and keeps you from going back to a
previous area.

0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Listed in this chapter are all of the Accomplishments that can be acquired
for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of "Watchmen: The End is Nigh: Part Two":
>>Electric Explosion
******************
Description: Hit 14 enemies with a single electrify armor blast.
Xbox 360 Accomplishment Points: 8 G.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Bronze.
Notes: There is only one place that this can be done and that is in
Chapter II. I will note where in that chapter.
>>Feral Fighter
*************
Description: Perform all 8 Rorschach combos within 60 seconds.
Xbox 360 Accomplishment Points: 15 G.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Silver.
Notes: This is actually not as hard as you might think. Once you get the
hang of doing combos and combo chaining this is fairly easy. To
start, write down all of Rorschach's combos. Then get into a
fight with a sizable group of enemies. Start with the longest
combo and after you successfully complete it, pause and mark it
off of the list. Then go and do the next longest and do the same
thing. Repeat with the others until get the Accomplishment. If
you combo chain some of the smaller combos then this will become
easier (although it is not necessary - I managed to get this one
without doing any).
>>Focus Fire
**********
Description: Take down 10 enemies in a row finishing off each of them
before doing damage to anybody else.
Xbox 360 Accomplishment Points: 11 G.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Bronze.
Notes: The best place to do this one is Chapter III for reasons I will
explain there.

| III.3. Enemies [ENMW] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In this chapter I go over the enemies you will encounter in the first five
chapters of the game. Each chapter has a different enemy and they get
progressively harder as you go along.
There are two types of enemies: Normal and Heavy. A Normal enemy is about the
same body type as our heroes. A Heavy enemy is much larger and will take more
hits to bring down. A Heavy enemy is also much stronger but they are slower
allowing you to dodge or block their incoming attacks.
Now for the list of enemies you will encounter (by chapter):
>>Chapter I
*********
The enemies in this chapter are the Bouncers. They are not tough but can be
dangerous in numbers. Although they provide security for the place they
also appear to be customers as well.
>>Chapter II
**********
The enemies in this chapter are the Knot Tops, a large gang who wear a
Japanese inspired hairstyle. They are tougher than the Bouncers and tend to
block or dodge often. This means you can't throw them as easily as the
previous enemy. The Knot Tops also count Heavies as members and will make
things tougher on you.
>>Chapter III
***********
The enemies in this chapter are the Dominatrixes (Ladies) and Gimps (who
are the Heavies in this chapter). The Ladies are a bit vicious but not too
tough. However, there are plenty of Gimps which can make the going rough in
spots.
And now, on to the game.....

July 30th, 1977.
Rorschach is heading to Dan's house. The newspaper headlines tell of a police
strike in its second day.....

Rorschach surprises Dan who is working on Archie. He is trying to repair it
and get it flying again.
The police strike has made him jittery because of all of the crazies running
the streets. But Rorschach shows Dan a film reel and requests his help in
finding a missing girl named Violet Greene.
Dan is reluctant because of the current situation. However, he decides to
take a look at the film.
The film is called "Schoolgirls in Trouble" and it shows Violet Greene, who
is underage, tied up and begging. The film ends before the other person can
be shown. But, Dan manages to find a sign in the background: Treasure Island.
Rorschach wants to find her but Dan wants to stay behind and fix Archie.
However, Rorschach guilt trips him into going to find Violet.
++NOTE: For more information regarding Gerald Grice please refer to

As the duo begin their questioning of the director he begins to stonewall
them. Rorschach attacks him and knocks him out.
This upsets Nite Owl but Rorschach points out the pistol on the floor that
the director was going to use on them.
They find and look through the original film and find that the perpetrator is
Twilight Lady. It turns out that Twilight Lady is also an old flame of Nite
Owl.
The duo decide to head to the Upper East Side to find her. But they find that
the streets are overrun with Knot Tops who are rioting and destroying stuff.
Then the Knot Tops see the duo and attack them.....

++NOTE: This is the best place to do the "Electric Explosion"
Accomplishment with Nite Owl. It is best to have all six OwlSuit
Batteries and do this on a second play-through.
Run past the first group of Knot Tops and go to the next
building to attract the second group. Then lure the second group
near the first group then do the armor blast. If you do this
right you should hit enough of the Knot Tops for the
Accomplishment.
After disposing of them then Rorschach will leave to open a door. This will
split up the duo:

When you get to the switch you will find that Nite Owl is being attacked
by five Knot Tops on the other side. But six more Knot Tops, including
two Heavies, will appear inside the passage just as you throw the
switch.
One option is, before throwing the switch, is to climb back up the
ladder then down the pipe on the other side and give Nite Owl some help
and taking down the Knot Tops then go back and throw the switch.

When they get to the warehouse the duo find Nite Owl's hover-bikes and make
their way to Twilight Lady's residence.
Then they are greeted by the smarmy doorman and attack him to make their
entrance.....
0===========================================================================0
Now for the "Gentleman" Accomplishment which is to let yourself be attacked
by a Lady first before attacking her. You must do this to ALL Ladies you
confront or choose to confront.
The best character to use for this purpose is Rorschach because of his dodge
ability and speed. Even so, this is a time consuming task because of the care
you must take to get this Accomplishment.
The idea is to try to get into one-on-one confrontations with enemies. This
will make it easier to thin out large groups and allow you to be attacked by
a Lady before beating her up. Plus the more room you have then the easier it
will be to set up confrontations and/or avoid attacks.
Try to get as many enemies toward Nite Owl as you can then confront any enemy
that breaks off and runs toward you. If more than one come toward you then
run around and bring them back to Nite Owl. You don't want to face more than
one enemy because it may make it harder to keep track of who you are
attacking or you may end up hitting a Lady first if you try to attack another
enemy.
One annoying thing about this game is that sometimes, if you try to attack
someone, is that you suddenly run to another enemy, one you had no plan to
attack right away, and hit them. This can easily ruin any chance of acquiring
this Accomplishment if you manage to hit a Lady first this way. To keep this
to a minimum, measure your attacks especially if you are kicking someone who
is down.
It usually takes a long time for Nite Owl to finish off a group of enemies so
here's a tip to speed things up. Go up to the enemy he is facing then do the
dodge move on him/her. This will stun the enemy and Nite Owl will usually
throw him/her so they can be kicked into submission by him.
There is one side benefit in doing the "Gentleman" Accomplishment. In the
process of setting up one-on-one confrontations you may also get the "Focus
Fire" Accomplishment which is take down 10 enemies in a row finishing off
each of them before doing damage to anybody else.
There are several spots where things can get dicey and I will note them as I
go along.
It should be pointed out that you won't get the Accomplishment until you see
the end credits.

Here you will get a cutscene of Rorschach and Nite Owl finding Violet Greene.
They also get their first encounter with the Twilight Lady. However, they
find that Violet is not only not underage but she wants to be there stating
that she makes far more money doing porn than her father makes at his dead
end job.
Nite Owl, realizing that this is a lost cause, wants to leave but Rorschach
refuses and wants to punish Twilight Lady.
After the cutscene you will be in the center of this massive Central Room.
There are three doors on each side. Two Gimps will be in front of the center
door. Two doors on the right side of the room will burst open and three Gimps
and one Lady will come to attack you. Once you defeat them, two doors on the
left side of the room will burst open and four Ladies and two Gimps will come
to join the fray.
After defeating them then you can do a little exploring.

Here you will be attacked by twelve Ladies who come down in two waves of six.
++NOTE: If you are trying to get the "Gentleman" Accomplishment: the large
number of Ladies and the narrow walkways will make it difficult to
avoid attacks until you can set up single confrontations. Just keep
rolling around, pick your fights very carefully, and measure your
attacks so you don't accidentally hit another Lady first.

Here you will be attacked by seven Ladies and three Gimps.
++NOTE: If you are trying to get the "Gentleman" Accomplishment: the large
number of enemies may make it hard to set up single fights. Just
keep rolling around avoiding attacks until you can set up single
confrontations.
One tip: if Note Owl is near the door you entered from and all the
enemies are around him then go around the corner, heading toward
the ladder, and hug the wall. As long as you are out of sight of
the enemies then they don't know you are there and they will focus
on Nite Owl. Hopefully he can dispatch most, if not all, of them
before you can go to then next area.
Climb the ladder to the next area.

Here you will be attacked by nine Gimps. Climb up the ladder to the next
area.
++NOTE: This is a good place to do the "Rrarararghgh!!!" Accomplishment.
If you have your Rage Meter maxed out from the previous combat
area then activate Rage Mode right after the cutscene.
The Gimps are tough enough to take enough punishment to allow
you to keep the Rage Meter up long enough to get this
Accomplishment. It should be noted that you get the
Accomplishment when the Rage Meter runs out.

| T3.A. Twilight Lady \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
Now you can finally face The Twilight Lady.
When you start you will see that your Rage and Charge Meters are at zero.
Twilight Lady is tough (indicated by her long health meter) and fast. She
also has an electrocution rod and has a rapid fire kick combo.
But she is also easier than Underboss who you faced in Part One.
For starters, your partner can chip away at her health, something that you
couldn't do with Underboss. In addition, you can primarily just spam the
Counter Attack move which is pretty effective on her.
Although, if you are good with your combos, you can speed things up and hit
her with some small ones. If you have a sizable amount of Rage or Charge then
you can use your special abilities and speed things up further.
(If you are going after the "Gentleman" Accomplishment then it might not be a
bad idea to let Twilight Lady hit you first before doing anything just to be
safe.)
After you knock off nearly all of her health then Rorschach will throw her
onto a glass rooftop. Rorschach will then want to finish her off by killing
her but Nite Owl will have none of that.
This leads the two friends to fight each other.....

| T3.B. Rorschach vs. Nite Owl \
0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
When the two friends fight each other there are a couple of things to note.
First, your Health Meter won't regenerate. Second, throws won't work - your
partner will land on his feet.
As for strategy, well, spam the Counter Attack move. Really, it's that
simple. It will take a little while but you can defeat your partner with
minimal health loss.
If your partner has activated either the Rage Mode or Electrify OwlSuit then
any special ability attack made on him will quickly reduce your own special
ability meter.
After you defeat your partner then you will see the.....

| >T4. Finale |
0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0
\FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/
The ending will change slightly depending on which character you choose. But
the result is the same. The Nite Owl - Rorschach team is finished and so is
the Crimebusters as the Keene Act is passed outlawing masked vigilantism.
However, Rorschach refuses to compromise.....

In this section I go over additional "Watchmen" information, some of which is
inferred in the game (and game manual), with some of them containing
spoilers.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| IV.1. The Rorschach Mask |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
The origin of this special color shifting masked was explained in the book
but not in the movie or game.
The mask originated from a dress made of a special Dr. Manhattan spin-off
fabric. The fabric contained viscous fluids between two layers of latex and
was heat and pressure sensitive.
The dress contained black and white moving shapes that never mixed. This made
it very beautiful for Walter Kovacs who encountered the dress at his job as
as an unskilled worker in the garment industry.
He kept the dress when the person who ordered it, Kitty Genovese, declared it
ugly and never picked it up. He cut it up using special tools but became
bored with it when he realized that it had no use.
Two years after he acquired the dress the woman who originally ordered the
dress was murdered and, after reading about the controversy surround her
death, he decided to make masks out of the remains of the dress and fight
crime as Rorschach.
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| IV.2. The Kitty Genovese Murder [KGMD] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Although "Watchmen", Rorschach, and the special dress is fictional, the
murder of Kitty Genovese is NOT. This real life incident was used as a major
turning point for one of the main characters in the "Watchmen" story.
This incident is briefly touched upon in the book and barely mentioned in the
game manual. This chapter goes into more detail about the incident and its
aftereffects.
Some excerpts of the incident as is posted on Wikipedia:
Genovese had driven home from her job working as a bar manager, late in
the night of March 13, 1964. Arriving home at about 3:15 a.m. and
parking about 100 feet (30 m) from her apartment's door, which was
around the rear of the building, she was approached by Winston Moseley,
an African-American business machine operator.
Moseley ran after her and quickly overtook her, stabbing her twice in
the back. Genovese screamed, "Oh my God, he stabbed me! Help me!" It was
heard by several neighbors, but on a cold night with the windows closed,
only a few of them recognized the sound as a cry for help.
When one of the neighbors shouted at the attacker, "Let that girl
alone!", Moseley ran away and Genovese slowly made her way toward the
rear entrance of her apartment building. She was seriously injured, but
now out of view of those few who may have had reason to believe she was
in need of help.
Records of the earliest calls to police are unclear and were certainly
not given a high priority by the police. One witness said his father
called police after the initial attack and reported that a woman was
"beat up, but got up and was staggering around."
Other witnesses observed Moseley enter his car and drive away, only to
return ten minutes later. In his car, he changed his hat to a
wide-rimmed one to shadow his face. He systematically searched the
parking lot, train station, and small apartment complex, ultimately
finding Genovese, who was lying, barely conscious, in a hallway at the
back of the building, where a locked doorway had prevented her from
entering the building.
Out of view of the street and of those who may have heard or seen any
sign of the original attack, he proceeded to further attack her,
stabbing her several more times. Knife wounds in her hands suggested
that she attempted to defend herself from him. While she lay dying, he
raped her. He stole about $49 from her and left her dying in the
hallway. The attacks spanned approximately half an hour.
A few minutes after the final attack a witness, Karl Ross, called the
police. Police arrived within minutes of Ross' call. Genovese was taken
away by ambulance, at 4:15 am, and died en route to the hospital.
Later investigation by police and prosecutors revealed that
approximately a dozen (but almost certainly not the 38 cited in the
Times article) individuals nearby had heard or observed portions of the
attack, though none could have seen or been aware of the entire
incident.
Only one witness, Joseph Fink, was aware she was stabbed in the first
attack, and only Karl Ross was aware of it in the second attack. Many
were entirely unaware that an assault or homicide was in progress; some
thought that what they saw or heard was a lovers' quarrel or a drunken
brawl or a group of friends leaving the bar outside when Moseley first
approached Genovese.
0======================================================================0
Moseley was later apprehended in connection with burglary charges. He
confessed not only to the murder of Kitty Genovese, but to two other
murders, both involving sexual assaults. Subsequent psychiatric
examinations suggested that Moseley was a necrophile. He was convicted
of murder and sentenced to death.
Moseley gave a confession to the police in which he detailed the
attack, corroborating the physical evidence at the scene. His motive
for the attack was simply "to kill a woman." Moseley stated that he got
up that night around 2:00 a.m., leaving his wife asleep at home, and
drove around to find a victim. He spied Genovese and followed her to the
parking lot.
Moseley also testified at his own trial where he further described the
attack, leaving no question that he was the killer. The initial death
sentence was reduced to an indeterminate sentence/lifetime imprisonment
on June 1, 1967.
The New York Court of Appeals found that Moseley should have been able
to argue that he was "medically insane" at the sentencing hearing when
the trial court found that he had been legally sane.
0======================================================================0
Many saw the story of Genovese's murder as an example of the callousness
or apathy supposedly prevalent in New York City, urban United States, or
humanity in general. Much of this framing of the event came in reaction
to an investigative article in The New York Times written by Martin
Gansberg and published on March 27, two weeks after the murder.
The article bore the headline "Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call
the Police." The public view of the story crystallized around a quote
from the article, from an unidentified neighbor who saw part of the
attack but deliberated, before finally getting another neighbor to call
the police, saying "I didn't want to get involved."
0======================================================================0
The lead is dramatic but factually inaccurate. None of the witnesses
observed the attacks in their entirety. Because of the layout of the
complex and the fact that the attacks took place in different locations,
no witness saw the entire sequence of events.
Most only heard portions of the incident without realizing its
seriousness, a few saw only small portions of the initial assault, and
no witnesses directly saw the final attack and attempted rape in an
exterior hallway which resulted in Genovese's death.
Additionally, after the initial attack punctured her lungs (leading to
her eventual death from asphyxiation), it is unlikely that she was able
to scream at any volume.
Nevertheless, media attention to the Genovese murder led to reform of
the NYPD's telephone reporting system; the system in place at the time
of the assault was often inefficient and directed individuals to the
incorrect department.
The melodramatic press coverage also led to serious investigation of
the bystander effect by academic psychologists. In addition, some
communities organized Neighborhood Watch programs and the equivalent
for apartment buildings to aid people in distress.
0======================================================================0
The lack of reaction of numerous neighbors watching the scene prompted
research into diffusion of responsibility and the bystander effect.
Social psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latané started this line of
research, showing that contrary to common expectations, larger numbers
of bystanders decrease the likelihood that someone will step forward
and help a victim.
The reasons include the fact that onlookers see that others are not
helping either, that onlookers believe others will know better how to
help, and that onlookers feel uncertain about helping while others are
watching. The Kitty Genovese case thus became a classic feature of
social psychology textbooks.
0======================================================================0
Moseley returned for another parole hearing Thursday, March 13, 2008,
the 44th anniversary of Ms. Genovese's murder. It was denied. He will be
eligible to go up for parole again in 2010.
The previous week, Moseley had turned 72 years old, and has still shown
little remorse for murdering Genovese.
Genovese's brother, Vincent, was unaware of the March 13 hearing until
he was contacted by Daily News reporters. Vincent Genovese has
reportedly never "recovered from the horror" of his sister's murder.
"This brings back what happened to her", Vincent had said; "the whole
family remembers".

| IV.3. "Watchmen" **SPOILERS** [WTSP] |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
In this chapter I go over some information, pertinent or mentioned in the
game, that may be considered spoilers for those who may not have read the
book or seen the movie:
0================0
| The End is Nigh \
0==================0
"The End is Nigh" is in reference to a sign carried by an unknown unnamed
person in the early portions of the book. It isn't until after Rorschach is
captured by the Police, and revealed as Walter Kovacs, that the reader
realizes Walter is this person.
Walter uses this as a disguise to get closer to certain areas without
suspicion then investigate as Rorschach later.
0================================0
| Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein \
0==================================0
These two reporters, mentioned throughout "W:TEiN: Part One", were major
players in the investigation of the Watergate scandal that occurred in the
early seventies. One that would cost then President Richard Nixon his job.
A couple of excerpts from the Wikipedia entry for Watergate:
The Watergate scandal refers to a political scandal in the United States
in the 1970s. Named for the Watergate office complex in Washington,
D.C., effects of the scandal ultimately led to the resignation of
Richard Nixon, President of the United States, on August 9, 1974. It
also resulted in the indictment and conviction of several Nixon
administration officials.
The scandal began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering
into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate
complex on June 17, 1972. The men were connected to the 1972 Committee
to Re-elect the President by a slush fund and investigations conducted
by the Senate Watergate Committee, House Judiciary Committee and the
news media.
President Nixon's staff conspired to cover up the break-in. As evidence
mounted against the president's staff, which included former staff
members testifying against them in a Senate investigation, it was
revealed that President Nixon had a tape recording system in his offices
and that he had recorded many conversations.
Recordings from these tapes implicated the president, revealing that he
had attempted to cover up the break-in. After a series of court battles,
the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the president had to hand over the
tapes; he ultimately complied.
Facing near-certain impeachment in the House of Representatives and a
strong possibility of a conviction in the Senate, Nixon resigned the
office of the presidency on August 9, 1974. His successor, Gerald Ford,
would issue a pardon unto President Nixon.
0======================================================================0
The connection between the break-in and the re-election campaign
committee was highlighted by media coverage. In particular,
investigative coverage by Time, The New York Times, and especially The
Washington Post, fueled focus on the event.
The coverage dramatically increased publicity and consequent political
repercussions. Relying heavily upon anonymous sources, Post reporters
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered information suggesting that
knowledge of the break-in, and attempts to cover it up, led deep into
the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and even the White House.
Chief among the Post's anonymous sources was an individual they had
nicknamed Deep Throat, who was later revealed in 2005 to be former
Deputy Director of the FBI William Mark Felt, Sr. Rather than ending
with the trial and conviction of the burglars, the investigations grew
broader; a Senate committee chaired by Senator Sam Ervin was set up to
examine Watergate and began issuing subpoenas to White House staff
members.
However, in the "Watchmen" universe, the scandal never breaks. Both reporters
are murdered before they can expose it. "W:TEiN: Part One" covers how it goes
down.
There is a slight difference between the game and book. In the book it is
hinted that their bodies are found in a garage. However, since their bodies
are found in the trunk of Underboss's car it might not be too far from the
truth.
0==================0
| Moloch the Mystic \
0====================0
Moloch was the closest thing to a super-villain that the "Watchmen" universe
had. He did most of his work during the Minutemen era but was captured during
the Crimebusters era.
He was then put in jail for a considerable amount of time. During this period
he reformed and put behind his life of crime.
After release he went to live alone in a run down apartment and work for a
branch of Veidt Industries.
He plays a small but important role in the overall "Watchmen" story.
0=============0
| Gerald Grice \
0===============0
Gerald Grice is a criminal who kidnapped a small child in 1975. This incident
would play a pivotal role in Rorschach's evolution.
The small child was Blaire Roche. The kidnapper thought that he was
kidnapping someone connected to the Roche Chemical fortune. Unfortunately,
the child belonged to another Roche family. One that didn't have any money.
Rorschach decided to intervene and promised the family to return Blaire
unharmed: "Thought of little child, abused, frightened. Didn't like it.
Personal reasons."
After going through the underworld he found a lead. A lead that would take
him to the residence of Gerald Grice.
Gerald wasn't home at the time of Rorschach's arrival. When Rorschach
investigated the residence he found that the child was killed, butchered, and
fed to Gerald's two German Shepards whom he saw fighting over a large bone,
human, in the backyard.
This caused Rorschach to snap. He would kill the two dogs then lay in wait
for Gerald. He would assault Gerald with the two dead dogs when Gerald
arrived back home after drinking.
Then Rorschach would handcuff Gerald to an old stove, give him a hacksaw,
then set the house on fire. This would kill Gerald Grice.
(In the movie version, Rorschach would take a meat cleaver and hack Gerald to
death after handcuffing him to the stove. Rorschach's ungluing is much more
visceral in the movie than in the book.)
Before this incident Rorschach was "kinder" towards criminals. He would
incapacitate them and leave them for the Police. But after this he would be
far more brutal on them often killing them when given the chance.
And now, to close things up.....
