I bought this game the day before it came out officially, and I was very excited. However, without an official strategy guide, I had no way to achieve my 100% in all the Extras. So, to help those now, I shall help others. I have many people to thank, mainly board users, which I will list in the credits. Well, let's begin, shall we? And just so you know, you can use Ctrl + F to search for the unlocked item you want or the objective or secret strategy you want. Well, let's do this first... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ III.Version History Version 1.2-Additional websites granted permission to use this FAQ Version 1.1-Updated Rewards Version 1.0-First written FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IV.Bonus Objectives Now let us begin with Bonus Objectives. I shall list them per level, the strategy to complete it,and then list the unlocked item.Okey dokey now here we go! I'll label the objectives by O1, O2, O3, etc.Also note that when you have acquired a bonus objective, you must get to the end of the level, and move onto the next, then whatever reward is unlocked. 01.Level-"They're Coming For You, Neo" + "He's Heading for the Street" Bonus Objective-"Make your escape without being captured" Now, this objective appears all through both levels, and is very basic. All you have to do is follow Morpheus's instructions. Once you reach the second level, you will encounter cops who can cuff you. You can fight back with rapidly tapping the triangle button. You must do so to any cop that gets hold of you. Note that in the first level if you are getting cuffed, you cannot fight back and automatically fail the level. Just keep going through the building, avoiding being shot and cuffed, and you'll be within the outside and on Trinity's motorcycle in no time! Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Level Concepts", you also see the cutscene of Neo riding with Trin, and skips to the part where you will start training. If you got the secret, good job! It's these one of the few parts where you can change what Neo actually did. 02.Level-All Training Missions Bonus Objective-"Complete all objectives to unlock a secret" This is very simple. All you need to do is complete every level, up to and including "The Dojo", and you have your reward! Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Character Concepts Part 1" O3.Level-"Storming the Drain" Bonus Objective-"Reach the 2 highest platforms in the room" This is also quite simple. After the room with the agent, you must continue forth into another toom where you must get to the other side, with SWAT and such there as well. However, the room with this objective may the room right after as well. When you get into the right room(You can't miss it, so keep going) it will tell you that objectives are updated. Now, on the right wall, climb up the ladder, and go right. You should see a ledge sticking out. Climb on, then jump to the ledge on the left. Then, get onto the bigger ledge with guns on it. It will tell you you have 1/2 leedges reached. Get back on the previous ledge, and continue going right, accross ledges. Note to keep away from the wall as possible if you do Focus jumps, or else you may wall run, jump, then have to start over. Keep going right and you should find another weapon filled ledge. It also will tell you 2/2 ledges reached. Congrats! You got another bonus! Unlocked Item-Special Combo:"Quick Kicks" O4.Level-"Helicopter Rescue" Bonus Objective-"Defeat the enemy helicopter" Again, a simple task. However, you must be wary, or else you'll miss it. In this level you will be using a gun of the helicopter Trinity is flying. First, you should gun down SWAT and soldiers from the roof you are near, and also note that destroying certain areas or even that crane can cause extra mayhem! Now, as you fly around you will need to shoot down SWAT and agents(can only be killed when you focus while you shoot) as you pass by buildings. In between flying around the buildings, you will get a glance of the enemy helicopter. Always Focus Shoot it to get the most damage. After all the buildings, you will go against the helicopter, so Focus shoot, but try not to overheat. If you do not kill it during the encounter with it, you will get one more chance at it. It would be a distance away from you, however, just focus shoot it and eventually the health bar will be empty, and the enemy copter will smash into the building. Congrats on a job well done! Complete the level and claim your prize! Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Art Graveyard" O5.Level-"Red Pill Rescue"-The Security Guard Bonus Objective-"Defeat 5 enemies in 30 seconds" This time , you might get a little beaten. As you chase the guard up the church, be sure to defeat the 4 SWAT along the way to acquire their guns and a box of grenades. After you reach the stairs that break down, you'll see a cutscene of some shielded SWAT and a soldier.When you get back into the game, A timer will appear counting down from 0:30. This is it! Throw all your grenades at the 5 enemies, and you should make it. I only needed to throw one and they all died, so I don't have the greatest strategy. If you do need more assistance, contact me at my email address(found in the Contacts section). Unlocked Item-Special Combo:"Ultimate Hyper Strike" 06.Level-"Red Pill Rescue"-The Key Bonus Objective-"Complete the level without using a gun" Well, these objectives aren't that hard are they? Well, no they are not. This objective appears after you reach the weapon room(which is the same one that Morpheus, Trinity, and Seraph fought in during The Matrix Revolutions). All you have to do is defeat all the enemies(which would be 6) without using a gun. Bullet Stop can help for a bit, but try to get up close and use combos so you can quickly take out the enemies without being shot at. Keep killing the enemies until there are no more. If you did this correctly, any other time you reach this level, there will be no bonus objective, but note you do get the reward the first time(thanks to Lawman_316 for this info) Unlocked Item-The Making of....:"Story Board Sequence 1" O7.Level-"Taking the Floor" Bonus OBjective-"Defeat 3 waves of Smith before you exit the level" This objective will not begin until after the Key Maker has opened the door to leave.(At least I'm pretty sure) You must defeat 3 waves, and it will alert you when you defeat one wave. After killing all 3 waves, you may exit and unlock your reward. For a strategy...keep bullets away, as they have SMGs that can hurt. Take any health packs you can get, and note that Killing Blow Level 3 with a pole is really sweet and can help. Also note that if the Key Maker or Morpheus dies, you will fail the level. So watch out for them as well. If you win, congrats again! You've completed all the Bonus Objectives in this game! Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Character Concepts Pt.2" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IV.Secrets Now, did you do all the Bonus Objectives? I you did, good job, but be wary, because now comes the harder part! Secrets appear as open suitcases with a red light inside. Some are just lying around in a level, some will be dropped after completing a certain task, similar to a Bonus Objective. I shall list them as S1, S2, and so on. Just like Bonuses, you must complete the level after finding the secret to claim the reward. I'll list level, secret strategy, and unlocked item. Onwards! S1.Level-"Kung Fu Training" In order to acquire this secret, you must first get to the control room area. It would be a better idea to first take out the 2 people in there silently, but I am pretty sure it isn't neccessary. Go into the door, and you will see 3 ninjas(i guess they are) chopping wood...pretty badly. Silently kill 3 of them, and the reward will drop in front of the third! However, it has been told that the secret may be dropped in a different part of the room, so look around if you don't see it.(thanks to MatNeo27 for this info) Unlocked Item-The Making of....:"View Staff Combos" S2.Level-"Sword Training" This secret is quite simple. Go accross to the other side of the area, and go behind the waterfall. Destroy the vases and the secret shall appear. Unlocked Item-The Making of....:"View Sword Combos" S3.Level-"Weapon Training" As you are going back towards the restaurant, some men will pop out of a dark hallway, unopened when you first go through. Go inside the dark hallway, and the Operator will tell you you have found his secret stash. That's your secret! Unlocked Item-Special Combos:"Code Breaker" S4.Level-"The Chase:Get Me an Exit!" Now, I'll give you exact directions: when you start, go forward until you can go left into a three way intersection. Head left again, and forward until you see a grill blow up.It is near a health pack. Go behind the stands near the grill and health pack, onto the sidewalk, and you have your secret. Good job! Unlocked Item-Special Combos:"Machine Gun Kick" S5.Level-"Captain Rescue"-Morpheus and Trinity To acquire this secret, fly down from the start point, then go forward in the street. Turn left, then go forward and turn left towards the stairs. Turn your body left again, and fly up to a higher balcony. Your secret is up there, along with a nice gun(grenade launcher I think). Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Level Studies" S6.Level-"Seraph's Apology" To acquire this secret, first defeat Seraph in the first battle, the second on the poles, and the third in the movies. During the fourth battle, kick all the pillars holding up the roof. Break them all, and a secret will fall down from the middle of the floor. Unlocked Item-Special Combos:"The Beginning of the End" S7.Level-"Burly Brawl" All you need to do is defeat 30 Smiths. Afterwards, walk around the ground in the middle area for the secret. It will probably be crowded with Smiths, so look hard and you will get it. Unlocked Item-Special Combos:"The One" S8.Level-"The Frenchman" After defeating the 6 of the Frenchman's minions, go through the only door you can go through. Keep going until you end up in the dungeon. Go forward, kill the 2 doberman that show up, and when you reach the area where it splits in 2, turn right. go to the end of the hall, and you'll find the secret. Unlocked Item-The Making of....:"Storyboard Sequence 2" S9, S10, S11, S12.Level-"Distorted Dimensions" Yes there are 4 secrets here. Since I'm no good at directions, I'll take some entries from the game boards. This one is from Greenday561, who gets the credit: "Ok I am going to try and post this as clear as I can... Case #1 Unlocking I believe Story Board Sequence 2 When you first enter into the Dimensioned Room, hop the gap in front of you and go up the staircase. At the top turn to your left and you should see a small sideways arch with a focus item on it, jump to it. hop over the sideways staircse onto the floor, turn left and head to the wall, jump upwards to the opening for the 1st Case. Case # 2 Unlocking Story Board Sequence 3 Go through the correct door after getting Case 1. Defeat the ant and then proceed to hop the gap over to the right side spiral staircase. Go up the set of spiral stairs, and at the top immediately do a 180 turn and look alittle to the right for a small platform above you with one wall of tile and the other of white wallpaper. Jump to it, if you are where you should be you will have just gotten a focus item. To the right of the tiled wall you can see sideways arches on the side of a "building", and there on the bottom of the arch is the 2nd Case. Case # 3 Unlocking Story Board Sequence 4 Go through the correct door after getting Case 2. Defeat the couple of ants here. and head straight ahead on over to the redish stained glass dome. It is on the opposite of where you start. From the front of it turn around so it is directly behind you, hop the gap to the ground below. Now facing the same way proceed to walk off of here. Now go all the way to the far left of where you are, and proceed to walk off, and there is the 3rd Case. Case # 4 Unlocking Story Board Sequence 5 DO NOT GO THROUGH THE NEXT DOOR Directly after getting Case 3 go back to the stained glass dome, and this time hop up onto it, you should be standing on or near a gate. now turn left and head all the way down to the edge. Turn Right and jump the two small gaps in front of you, turn right and there is the 4th Case. Proceed to finish the level and in the extras menu you should have all of the previous stated. I really don't know how much more precise I can be, I hope that helps those who can't find them out." I'll need to split line this to make it more clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is another from hailkingmon. It only lists 3 locations, however, so try and find the 4th from Greenday's: "Yay, I'm back with better direction to the 3 in the Distorted Dimension thingy. BTW, I did all this w/out the flight ability, so you can go everywhere without it. When you first appear in the area: Turn right, hop gap, go up stairs. Turn left at top and hop gap towards yellow item. Jump to the diagonal strip, turn a littel left. Jump up into opening for #1. (Correct door is on white area to the right of first appearing, follow hallway around back) Next appearance, no cases. (I think correct door is farthest left of the 3 brown oens) Next appearance: Look diagonal left, and jump between two of the pillars and land on the bottom white platform. Run to end and jump gap. Run up wall directly ahead. Go right, jump two small gaps, turn right for Case #2. Next appearance, no cases. Next appearance: (Can someone confirm this one for me? i know theres one aroudn there, but it may have been a little higher up.) Go around fire and jump small gap. Jump to narrow adjacent ledge (on right), follow to end. Jump miny gap and turn right. Try to jump to curve for Case #3." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finally, one more entry from MatNeo27. Here we go, for another 3 locations: "The first one is the one we knew about before The second one is after the 1st door (its in the area where you fight the 1st ant-thing), jump on the small "wall" that is horozontal. It has a focus-item on it...anyway, from there you can see a sideways arch against a wall (looks like a backwards "C") and the case is on the flat part inside on the far edge. There is a 3rd one after the 2nd door. After the 2 ant-things attack, head "forward-right" from the door you came from. There is a small "wall" platform with a focus-item on it. Climb as high as you can, and you should find another focus-item. From there, there is a large platform thing with a number of long "windows" along the floor. When you get to the end of the platform, continue walking slowly off the edge. You will either fall directly onto the case (like me) or onto a higher platform. if you land on the platform, turn right and fall again. That should land you on the platform. Be careful to WALK off the edges so that you don't roll. Another way to get there is to find the large stained glass thing (it will be on a wall opposite the door you came from) and get on top of it where the gate is. Get to the far edge (without any walls)and to the right, you will see a floating block, and 2 platforms on the same level as you. Jump to the far one and turn right again. The case will be there. On a side note, I believe that the same cases can be found in a couple rotations of the place...after finding my 3rd case in the area, I continued to follow hailkingmon's directions, and I think they led me to the same area, just rotated into another position. There are definitely 3 cases, and each can be found once (rotating the room doesn't bring them back)...also, this area is hell to give directions for...I found the cases using his directions...and tried to help with my own...the cases are difficult to see in shady areas, and appear dark in code-vision. Unlocked Items-The Making of...:"Storyboard Sequence 3, Storyboard Sequence 4, Storyboard Sequence 5, View Hand-to-Hand Combos" S13.Level-"Downside Up" When you reach the third room of enemies and defeat all of them, you will be sent backwards to the start. Go forward onto the first one again, and there will be the pillars.As you get close to them, they will open, with a Vamp jumping from each one and tackling you. Have all the Vamps from each pillar come out, making sure at least one is alive, or else if all of them are dead, nothing will appear. Defeat ALL the Vamps, and the secret will appear in the middle of the Floor. Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Renderings Pt.1" S14.Level-"Ministry of Smiths" First, enter the main area of the church, where you will be ambushed by smiths. Go up to the second floor, and head to the front. On each side, there are 2 statues. On the right ledge of the second floor, destroy the statue on the right, and a secret will appear. If you are not sure on these directions, just destroy all the statues. Unlocked Item-Media Viewer:"Renderings Pt.2" S15.Level-"Aerial Battle" Now, for the final secret in the game. All you must do is continue to fight against Smith. Eventually, one of you will be smashed into the Kira Rowan building. Inside, there is a secret on the ground pick it up, finish the level, and you have the final secret!
