Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

Mission 1:

- Objective A:  There is a protype weapon in the wreckage that can be 
used to end this conflict once and for all.  Seek out this weapon before 
the bugs do.
- Objective B:  Destroy the two Bug Cannons on the ships surface.
- Objective C:  Blast you way into the Alien Spacecraft and take out as 
many of these freaks as you can along the way.


   Get ready for the most intense level you have seen so far.  If you 
thought the previous levels were tough, wait until you get a dose of 
this INSANE one.  When the Egyptian Queen asked for reinforcements, she 
got her damn reinforcements and then some.  This Spacecraft is super 
infested with the ghastliest bugs of all the bugs!  They are the most 
horrific breed you will encounter and will prove to quite deadly.  If 
you're not cheating, this level may take you a WHILE to complete.  This 
level will seem like a huge maze to you and is super generous on ammo.  
If you feel like you've been getting ripped off so far on ammo, you will 
not seem to think so on this level.  I tell you the way to go and that's 
it, LOOK EVERYWHERE!  You will venture upon big shell shaped bug warps 
throuhout the level, take these out immediately or bugs will keep 
warping in and piss all over your parade.

   Approach the gate and hit the switch to the left of it.  All of the 
switches throughout the ship look like this one.  Walk across the bridge 
and drop off of the ledge in front of it.  Walk forwards and take out 
all the Mites to open the gate to the next area.  Continue along and 
make a left, when you come up to a gate, hang another left.  Go up the 
incline and take a left and then another left and drop down the chute.  
Follow this long, infested corridor to a gate and shoot the two switches 
above it.  Go up the incline and take out the two Guards and step into 
the warp portal.  This next part is very, very strange.  Sometimes 
you'll warp to an area with one of your downed Aircraft, an ugly cheat 
flag to unlock a charachter in multi and the Unknown weapon to complete 
objective A.  There are several Unknown weapons laying around to 
complete that objective so don't worry if you didn't warp to it.  Or, 
sometimes you'll warp to an area with two Marines under attack.  Out of 
the 5 adventures I have completed, twice I warped to the cheat flag.  
There has to be something special you have to do in order to get the 
flag and I haven't the slightest clue as to what it is.  If you warped 
to the flag, drop off the ledge and make your way back to the chute, 
then hopefully you warp to the two Marines, that's where you have to go.  
Keep warping until you get to the Marines.  Is it just my game or has 
anyone else ran into this problem? 
 
   Follow the ledge to the left of the Marines and you will come across 
two more and hit the switch at the end of this path.  Drop down to the 
area below and blow open the two bug warps and hit the switches inside 
of them.  Ride the platform to the upper area and hang a left for the 
Unknown weapon to complete objective A if you haven't done so.  Take the 
path right of the elevator, then a quick left and proceed forwards to 
destroy the first Bug Cannon.  Hit the switch next to it and cross the 
bridge to a warp.  Go straight into a switch and through the gate 
opening up on the left, take the path to another bridge, down the super 
infested path and cross yet another bridge.  Destroy the last Bug 
Cannon, hit the switch and cross the bridge to warp to mission 2.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 2:

- Objective A:  Incinerate all of the bug pods.  These insects are born 
with an insatiable appetite for death and terror, they crave blood and 
chaos the moment they hatch.
- Objective B:  Eliminate all of the Brain Bugs.  The freakoid drones 
will not be able to fight without leadership (I beg to differ!).  
Hopefully soon, they will all become space dust.


   So, how is this level so far, are you tempted to cheat?  This mission 
is an extremely difficult one to complete, I'll tell you that much.  SO 
MANY BUGS, ARRRGGGHHHHHH!  Follow the long corridor and destroy the 
first set of eggs in the room at the end.  Wow, the Guards down here are 
way bigger than their little brothers on the surface!  Hit the switch 
and proceed down the next long, heavily infested corridor.  Drop down 
from the bridge to the area below to fry some more eggs.  Once they're 
over easy, hit the switch and ride the platform up and go down the 
corridor directly in front of you.  When you enter the next room, clear 
it out and drop down the chute on the right side of this room.  Destroy 
the next batch of a dozen or so eggs and follow the corridor to a 
switch.  Go through the opening doorway and destroy some more eggs (are 
there enough of them for you?).  Continue along and wipe out the next 
set of eggs, daaamn!   Step onto the square grate in the corner of this 
room and ride the elevator down.  Take out the eggs to release an 
Insectoid you haven't ran into yet, YIKES!  These cretants are extremely 
deadly so stay FAR back and be ready to blast them on the ceiling when 
they jump onto it, they will try to land on your head and piss all over 
your parade.

   After the chaos, hit the switch and descend down the elevator shaft 
deeper into oblivion.  Follow this purple lit corridor to a bridge and 
drop down to take out the next batch of eggs.  Step onto the next 
elevator down here and take it up and hop into the warp portal.  Hit the 
switch in front of you and go through the opening doorway and drop down 
the chute.  Walk down the set of stairs and hit the switch at the bottom 
to open a door to the next warp portal.  Walk forwards and take out the 
next set of eggs.  Well, it seems that Major Bowery has a good sense of 
humor for he just placed an order for scrambeled eggs.  Continue to the 
end of this large room, hit the switch and hop on the lift.  Cross 
either narrow bridge and go down the corridor to destroy, FINALLY, the 
last batch of eggs, objective A complete.  Hit the switch in this room 
and go down the inclining corridor to a room with the biggest set of 
eggs you have ever seen.  Destroy them and the Brains that are inside of 
them to put an end to this grueling mission.  Come on, admit it, this 
mission was INSANE!


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 3:

- Objective A:  You must evacute any surviving Marines and see that they 
return safely to Earth.


   Go left and follow the corridor to a switch and take the elevator 
down.  Step off the platform and drop down into the lower area to hit 
another switch.  Take the lift back up to where you began this mission,  
go down the corridor on the right, hit the switch and hop on the lift. 
Drop down to the area below and follow the circular corridor and step on 
the lift to raise up to another switch.  Drop down and take the square 
corridor back to a lift that will return you to the start of this 
mission.  Head down the only remaining corridor and hit the switch.  DO 
NOT drop down to the area in front of you, it's an acid pit!  Wait for 
the lift to come up, kill the bug on it and cross over it to hit another 
switch and drop down the chute.  Hit the switch in this room and take 
the lift up to access another area of the ship.  Don't drop down below 
just yet, hang a right from this lift and follow the thin ledge to the 
left for the Loaded Cheat Flag.  This cheat will allow you to carry all 
of the level weapons.  Drop down to the area below the flag and look for 
one of your downed Aircraft.  When you see it, drop down to the lower 
area and follow the path to a bug warp, take it out and then the next 
one you run into.  Hit the switch and go through the dropping gate on 
your left and hop on the next lift.  At the top, waste the two Soldier 
Bugs and hit the switch on the left of the prison cell to release two 
Marines.  Follow them to the rendezvous point and protect them at all 
costs!  When they have been safely picked up, go down the path the Brain 
Bug was guarding until you come across another one of your downed 
Aircraft and use it as a bridge to get to the other side of the chasm.  
This area has tons of pillars all around.  Look for the last two Marines 
and hit the switch to lower the cell and follow and protect them to the 
pick up point, mission complete.  This mission will probably take you a 
few tries to complete.  I suggest that you follow the Marines to the two 
rendezvous points and become familiar with where they are located.  When 
you know where the pick up points are, go to them BEFORE you release the 
prisioners and clear out the area so when you do go back for them, all 
of the enemies will have already been destroyed and you and your men 
will have an easy objective to accomplish.  The two Marines under attack 
at the first rendezvous point are expendable so don't worry if the Brain 
Bug splatters them.  You only have to rescue the four Marines in the two 
prison cells.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 4:

- Objective A:  Destroy the four birthing tubes.  There won't be a 
single bug left to tell the story of how you crushed them like the 
filthy Insectoid parasites they are.


   This mission is pretty short but is a tough one to complete.  Go 
straight down the corridor and then left into a large room and take out 
all of the bug eggs.  Hit the switch and ride the platform through a 
tunnel with acid below you, don't fall in!  Hop off the platform and 
cross the bridge and step onto the lift.  You are now in a large room 
with two birthing tubes on the ceiling, destroy them.  Go down the 
incline, crouch down and enter the tunnel and follow it down two levels.  
When you exit the tunnel, ride the next lift you see to destroy the last 
two birthing tubes, objective A complete.  Hit the switch and drop down 
the hole to the left of it, drop down through the opening floor and 
crawl into the next tunnel.  When you come to a large red-lit room, go 
through the tunnel on the other side of the room, directly across from 
the one you just exited from.  Hit the switch, drop down to the left of 
it and go up the incline to a warp and get ready for the toughest 
mission in the entire game.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 5:

- Objective:  The nightmare is nearly over Armorine.  If you execute the 
Breeder Queen, her reign of terror will be over.  The future of this 
galaxy depends on you, destroy this black plague.


   This chic is absolutely brutal and you have to fight your way through 
a super infested area before you can even meet her.  Walk down the super 
infested corridor (I hope you have a Thumper and some mines!)  and exit 
into a huge area with tentacles hanging all over the place.  Destroy the 
bug warp blocking the path and hit the switch behind it on the right.  
Walk across the metal bridge that will appear, then hang a right and 
ride the lift up.  Cross the bridge to a switch and take the next bridge 
to the left of this switch.  Take the next lift up to meet the Queen.  
It's pretty damn tough to get here, isn't it?

   She is snug inside of her cacoon on the ceiling and you have to shoot 
her birthing tube and then all of the bugs she continuously gives birth 
to.  Keep your eyeballs peeled for armor and ammo and grab that Leggy 
Cheat Flag near the far wall circling the arena, this unlocks another 
Insect for multi-player.  After so many successful hits, she will drop 
down from her cacoon, nasty looking beeyatch or what?  She must be 30 
feet tall!  Now here's where you HAVE to strafe all over the place and 
take cover behind anything you can find to avoid her venom shooting out 
of the three Octapuss like tentacles on her head and her electrical 
attack.  Shoot the three tentacles off, they will regenerate quite a few 
times a piece.  After her tentacles are not regenerating anymore, keep 
blasting her in the body and eventually she'll die and you can jump up 
and down and watch a screwy ending for a video game.  It was worth it I 
guess.  CONGATULATIONS on your victory, this game isn't the easiest one 
I have beaten, I'm sure you will agree.  Now try the game on the HARD 
setting, it's almost impossible without cheating.
