Shadow Man - Strategy Guide (Page 02)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Shadow Man - Strategy Guide (Page 02).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEAPONS, LIVESIDE:
- HANDGUN: Mamma Nettie gives this to you at the beginning of the game
and you have unlimited ammunition.
- SHOTGUN: There are two of these to find during the game eventually
allowing you to carry both at one time. For a Shotgun, this weapon
really sucks, even if you are using both of them at once.
- MP-909: An Uzi, that's more like it!
- 0.9-SMG: A really powerful machine gun, the best Liveside weapon you
can find.
WEAPONS, DEADSIDE:
- SHADOWGUN: Your pistol for Deadside. As your shadow levels progress,
you can charge this weapon up for a more powerful shot. You must use
this weapon to obtain the Dark Soul inside of a Govi.
- ASSON: This is a sacred voodoo rattle with a skull mounted at the end
of it that shoots fireballs, requires magic. This comes in very handy
for killing Gargoyles and Slashers.
- BATON: A short stabbing weapon that releases a powerful fireball into
the enemies and sets them on fire from within, requires magic. You can
also use this to warp when inserted into certain altars found throughout
the game.
- FLAMEBEAU: This is the bone of a human arm with an orb at the end of
it that shoots fireballs. Use this to burn down the bloody sheets found
throughout Deadside, requires magic. You can also use this as a torch
to light up darkened areas.
- VIOLATOR: The best weapon in the entire game. This shoots multiple
razor blades and needles at the enemies. They are VERY generous with
the ammo for this so feel free to get all John Wayne with this weapon.
If you collect all 120 Dark Souls, you can carry two of them to rip
Legion a new butt hole! If you are playing this game on the Play
Station console, there isn't a second Violator for you to find.
Instead, you'll get the Book of Shadows. This REALLY sucks for all of
you PSX fans out there. This can also be used in Liveside and shreds
the serial killers up REALLY quick.
- CALABASH: Voodoo bombs, require magic. When you place one of these,
stand far back or take a chance and duck, it creates a very large
explosion.
- MARTEAU: A jaw bone that sends a few sparks flying about, requires
magic. You can also use this to beat on the Bongos scattered throghout
the game to open up the doors near them.

8) Hints and Stratagies
************************
- The best way to kill all of the enemies is to R-target them and
strafe side to side to avoid their incoming rounds. Charge up your
Shadowgun to full power before you discharge, the higher your shadow
level, the more powerful your Shadowgun rounds are.
- You can jump higher/further by holding down the jump button longer.
Some jumps you have to make are short and others are super long. It
will take a little bit of practice to get used to. To make really long
leaps, I found that holding the joy stick up while you're jumping will
significantly increase your chances of making the jump.
- You can tell what shadow level you have to be in order to unlock
the Soul Gates found throughout Deadside. Just look at the gate and you
will see purple marks around the gate, just like your shadow level on
your shadow meter. The purple marks tell you what level you have to be
in order to bust through the gate.
- There aren't any Cadeaux in the Asylum: Engine Block levels so
don't waste your time looking for them.
- When you are walking down narrow corridors with flaming statues
spitting fire balls at you, hug the wall while running down it to avoid
getting face burn.
- When you're jumping, put all of your items away, especially if you
are grabbing onto a ledge.
- When you are shimmieing ledges and have to kick back onto a
platform, change the camera view so you can see what you're trying to
land on.
- Use the Flamebeau as a torch to light up dark areas in Deadside or
in Liveside.
- If you are playing this game on the N64 console, I highly recommend
that you invest in an Expansion Pack. Especially if you want to find
all of the Cadeaux and want to see crystal clear graphics.
- And most importantly, don't ever give up and believe in yourself.
By doing this, you can master this or any game in no time.
========================================================================
*********************
9) Game Walk Through
*********************
******************
* SPECIAL NOTICE *
******************
If you are going to use this walk through, there are a few things you
should know to make things a little bit easier for you. When I tell you
to grab a Cadeaux, it's most likely in a pot or barrel. You will see
numerous Govi's along the way that I will not mention. That means you
can't collect that Dark Soul yet so don't worry, we'll be back at a
later time to collect the Dark Soul hidden within the Govi. Be prepared
to jump back and forth between the levels, this game is VERY non-linear
and you can do it a bunch of different ways. I wrote this walk through
the way I play the game. It may not be the best way to do it, but it's
a way to collect every Dark Soul and finish the game with a full life
meter, all of the cheats and available items. The way I play the game,
there is a minimal amount of back tracking.
If you are just searching for a specific item and not following this
walk through, just scan down the page and look for it at the beginning
of that section of the walk through; then look up how to get that item
in that section. If you are wondering on how to reach certain levels in
the game, read the paragraph or sentence above that level in the walk
through to find out how to reach it. If you would like to finish this
game with a full life meter, then you have to follow this guide to a tee
to find all of the Cadeaux. I fail to mention almost all of the enemies
along the way, so be on constant guard. There is a weird glitch in this
game that sometimes make Govi's reappear. If you finish the game with
two or three more Dark Souls, don't get all excited and think you've
found a secret Govi that I somehow missed. There are only 120 Dark
Souls to find, NO MORE! I hope you enjoy my guide and I was of some
assistance to you.

- BAYOU PARADISE, LOUISIANA -
-----------------------------
-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- HANDGUN/SHADOWGUN
- NETTIE'S FILE
- TEDDY BEAR
So, how did you like the long opening cut scene? Pretty morbid,
wasn't it? This is only the beginning of the horrors you will see while
playing this freaky ass game. I've been waiting for the day I heard
some swear words in a video game, and here it is. You will probably
become all weirded out at one point or another so get ready for the
spookiest video game you will ever have the pleasure of playing. This
game offers a really high scare factor. Not the kind of scared you got
when a Raptor jumped in your face in Turok 2, I mean this game will
scare the crap out of you like when you thought about the Boogie Man
hiding under your bed when you were 6 years old. Sit back, enjoy, and
embrace the horrors you are about to witness. Be sure to play this game
at night with all the lights off and put a garbage bag under your butt
in case you soil yourself! I recommend that you don't play this game
around children because if you do, they'll probably have nightmares.
As soon as you start, grab that Cadeaux on the right and walk
forwards, sludging through the mud and enter the tunnel on the left.
Take a look at the only item in your inventory and read the file on the
five serial killers you must find and destoy. Exit into an area with a
tunnel to the right and an incline in front of you. Head down the
tunnel for 2 Cadeaux next to a Govi. This orange cacoon is what houses
Dark Souls and you must use your Shadowgun to retrieve the soul within.
You will not be able to collect any Dark Souls in this Bayou for a VERY
LONG time so don't worry about them yet. Continue along under the
bridge to find another Cadeaux. Return to the incline, go up it, jump
across the bridge and follow the path to a boat tipped onto its side and
a mean looking Rottweiler will be growling at you. Climb up the ledge
the Rott was on and follow the path around some houses to a rope. Jump
up, grab the rope, and shimmy your way to that Cadeaux. Go through the
tunnel, collecting another Cadeaux and grab the thin ledge the next
Cadeaux is on and shimmy it to the left and pull yourself up. Walk into
the church doors in front of you. The dogs will not attack you unless
you try to shoot them, they just want to sniff you out. Inside the
church, you'll meet up with Mamma Nettie and she tells you of the long
task you have ahead of you and the consequences if you fail. She will
then give you a Handgun/Shadowgun and your little brothers Teddy Bear.
After this little cinema, grab the Cadeaux on the altar and the ones in
the room to the left of the altar. Go into the room opposite this one
and push the crate out of the way for some more Cadeaux. Now use the
Teddy Bear to go Deadside, it's going to be a VERY LONG time before you
return to Liveside. It's POINTLESS to wander around in Liveside as Mike
Leroi, so go Deadside right away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- MARROW GATES -

-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- THE PROPHECY
- 1 DARK SOUL
Welcome to Deadside, the asshole of the Universe! Every level you
enter throughout the game will have a little cinema at the beginning of
it, very cool! Hear those really annoying moans? Walk around that
pillar in front of you and kill the freaks along this bloody stream for
some damn peace and quiet. Walk forwards and eventually you'll meet up
with Jaunty. He seems to have missed you, how sweet. After this humor
filled cut scene, talk to him again for another laugh. Talk to Jaunty
often during the game, after every couple of levels, there are about 6
or 7 cut scenes of you talking to him throughout the game. Walk through
the rib cage gates and follow this path to a large area with arching
bone pillars across the way. Below you are three bongos you can beat on
with the Marteau once you find it for some Cadeaux. Follow the ledge to
the left and kill a couple of more Zombies and continue down the path on
the left. When you get to a broken stone bridge, follow the path to the
right of it collecting 2 Cadeaux in the pots. Look for a square plate
in the ground with weird designs on it. When you find the Calabash
(about 30 hours or so), return here and blow up the square plate for
some Cadeaux. Return to the broken stone bridge, jump across it and go
down the tunnel. The only way to burn down those bloody curtains you
will see is with the Flamebeau, which isn't for a while yet. Once you
find it, return here to burn down the bloody curtains for some Cadeaux.
I will not mention these Cadeaux again so DON"T FORGET about them.
At the end of this tunnel, you'll meet two Slashers. Tough, aren't
they? In the pots under the wooden platform to the left is a Cadeaux,
go to the right of this platform and collect another one. Keep going
and climb the ledges at the end for a few more Cadeaux's. Cross the
rope and go straight, not left, and follow the path to another Cadeaux
in a pot. Jump the gap and go down the path between the arching bone
pillars to break through the first Soul Gate, just hit the action button
to open the gate up. Follow this tunnel to a large chamber and another
broken stone bridge going across the room, this is the Prophecy Chamber.
You will get a warp signal meaning you can warp to this point at any
time you wish by using the Teddy Bear. Walk up to the burning altar
underneath the bridge to collect the Prophecy and read it. If you want
to see some new cut scenes, go talk to Mamma Nettie and Jaunty again
then return to this chamber. Climb up the ledge next to the enterance
to this chamber and cross the bridge to collect your first Dark Soul.
That fiery block to the left of this soul can be pushed out of the way
once you have the Toucher Gads. Return across the bridge and break down
the next Soul Gate. And again, if you want to see two new cut scenes,
go talk to Mamma Nettie and Jaunty again. Some of these cut scenes are
only available for a certain time, depending on how far you advance in
your quest, so if you want to see the full story of the game, go see
these little cinemas. It's very impressive on how many voice
augmentated cut scenes there are in this game. Go down this narrow
tunnel and cross the long skin bridge to enter the Wasteland.

-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- ASSON
- 4 DARK SOULS
Go down either tunnel in front of you and exit into an area with
three blood falls pouring into a lake of blood and a skin hut will be to
your right. Jump into the nasty lake of blood, searching for Cadeaux on
the bottom of the lake. The play control is kind of funktified while
swimming, you'll get used to it sooner or later. Look for an underwater
tunnel, swim through it, surface and kill a couple of Slashers. Hit the
big wooden switch, grab the Cadeaux and head back down the tunnel and
return to the blood lake. Surface, kill the Gargoyle flying around and
enter the hut. When you get to a room with a lava pit leading to a
Govi, go right, not to the Govi, and go down the hallway to enter a
large area with Slashers charging at you and a skin bridge to the right.
Go behind the pillar in this area, hit another switch to extend a rope
(Tendon?) and grab the Cadeaux. Walk up the skin bridge and jump to the
platform with four pots, collecting 2 more Cadeaux inside of them. Jump
onto the other side of the bridge, towards the rope, and enter the
tunnel right next to the rope. After exiting this tunnel, search for
the Cadeaux and go into the next tunnel to find your second Dark Soul.
Jump onto the pillars around the skin bridge in this area for one more
Cadeaux. Make your way up to the hut on the other pillar for another
Dark Soul, your shadow level should now be at two. Before you discharge
a round from your Shadowgun, let it charge up to full power to kill the
enemies faster. You may not notice a difference until you go up a
couple of more shadow levels.
Return down the tunnel that led you into this area and shimmy your
way across the rope and enter the tunnel. Exit into a room with wooden
platforms hanging on the walls. Jump onto the platforms to the right of
the enterance to this room and jump to grab a thin ledge, shimmy it all
the way to the right. If you can't shimmy the ledge, put your Shadowgun
away, you'll get used to doing this, trust me. When you can't go any
further, press up on the joystick to put your feet on the wall and kick
yourself back (jump button) to land on a platform. If you are having
difficulty finding the platform you have to land on, change the camera
view to see what I'm talking about. Follow this hallway to snag
yourself another Dark Soul. Exit this room and hang a left, jump onto
the platform with the Cadeaux on it and follow the wooden platforms
collecting one more. At the end of the platforms, jump to grab the thin
ledge and shimmy your way to the left and kick yourself off when you
can't shimmy any further. Follow this wooden catwalk to collect the
Asson, this comes in handy while up against those annoying Gargoyles.
Return to the rope you shimmied to get into this area and drop down.
Run up the skin bridge approximately 13 steps and turn to the right and
walk up the thin ledge. Enter the tunnel and make your way to a skin
bridge and collect the two Cadeaux in the hut to the left. Go past this
hut and down the skin bridge collecting two more Cadeaux. Go up the
tunnel and hit the switch to activate another rope and grab that Cadeaux
behind the pillar. Return to the above area and follow the skin bridge,
past the hut, and jump to the left onto a skin/wood platform with a
Cadeaux. Shimmy across the rope for another Govi with a Dark Soul and
shimmy your way back. Jump back onto the skin bridge from the skin/wood
platform and go through the tunnel, emerging onto another skin bridge.
Go right, trying to avoid the Gargoyle scrock and cross the skin bridge
to enter the Temple of Life, getting a warp signal in the process.

- BOOK OF SHADOWS
- FLAME GRILLED CHEAT
Walk forwards making your way to a burning altar. Jump into the room
to the right of this altar and quickly jump across the lava pit via the
waffle grates. These grates sink at a very rapid rate so whenever you
come across these waffles, make your jumps quickly or be dead, you've
been warned. Hang a left and jump across the next lava pit, follow this
corridor to a platform with spikes jabbing up and down from the floor
and grab that Cadeaux on the thin ledge around this platform. Return
down the corridor you've just came from and go through the door on the
left and jump across the lava. Grab the ledge the Cadeaux is on and
shimmy to the left and kick yourself off at the end. Grab the next thin
ledge and shimmy it to the end and kick yourself off. Don't jump onto
that waffle grate in front of you, you have a WAYS to go before you can
venture into that area safely. Go into the corridor to some more spike
traps, grab the next ledge and shimmy to the right and kick yourself off
when you have collected a Cadeaux. Follow this spiked platform, jump
across the lava into a room, follow the corridor and drop down a hole
that will be on the left. Walk down this corridor and drop down the
next hole you will come across. Follow this narrow corridor to a large,
circular chamber. This is God Loa's chamber. Grab the Baton in the
center of this room on the burning altar. With this item, you can use
it to warp to different altars found throughout Deadside or you can use
it as a weapon. The altar in front of you will take you to the one at
the beginning of this Temple. Grab the five Cadeaux (you should have 50
Cadeaux) in this chamber and go into the SECOND cubby hole on the RIGHT
of the enterance to this chamber to activate the Flame Grilled Cheat and
receive your Book of Shadows, a book of cheats. They're not really
cheats, they just let you play the game as several different characters
or on fire like this cheat will do. If you're playing on a Play Station
console, you will *NOT* be able to activate the cheat and therefore you
will *NOT* get the Book of Shadows. All other consoles will activate
the cheat and give you the book. Don't worry though, you will
eventually get the Book of Shadows after you've found ALL 120 DARK
SOULS! That's so unfair, it downright sucks! When you have collected
100 Cadeaux, bring them to these cubby holes and offer them to God Loa
for an extra notch on your life meter.
Use the Teddy Bear to warp to the Prophecy Chamber and go to the
little skin bridge just before the big one leading into the Wasteland.
Drop down from this bridge and grab a Cadeaux in the corner and bust
through the Soul Gate, which requires a shadow level of 2. Walk through
this tunnel and follow the path to the right. You can't open any of the
Soul Gates in this circular area yet, so quit dreaming. Walk across the
next long skin bridge between the Soul Gates to enter the dreaded
Asylum, "It's a Madhouse."

- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:

- 3 DARK SOULS
Get ready for a pretty dreary level. Cross the metal pipes and go
through the doorway. Follow the corridor and jump over a few acid pits
and enter a room. Go straight, through some slamming doors and drop
into the courtyard of this HUGE Asylum. Damn that's big, isn't it?
Didn't the graphics drastically improve? I thought the graphics sucked
until I saw the Asylum, and the levels inside of it. Walk towards the
enterance in the middle and you'll get a warp signal when you cross the
wooden draw bridge. Drop onto the pipe in the lava to the right of the
bridge and carefully make your way across this pipe and climb up through
the set of slamming doors. Follow this wooden corridor to another pipe,
drop down and follow it to a platform. Jump onto the platform and wait
for the moving one to come to you. Jump onto the moving platform and
ride it up, collect the Cadeaux on the pipe above you, not the one
across from you (you can't get that one yet), and then jump onto the
hexagon shaped platform via the moving one. Follow this pipe and climb
into the corridor, follow it to the end and be prepared to make a giant
leap to the platform across the lava. Wait for the next moving platform
and jump onto it, and then another one. On the pipe to the left are 2
Cadeaux. Are these sound effects bugging you out yet? Wait until the
Playrooms. Jump off onto the pipe and follow it to a set of slamming
doors on the left wall. Jump into that wooden corridor and take it to a
fork, hang a right and drop down into a blood smeared room. Nasty, eh?
"Splattered red you'll find my den with blood dripping from the walls,"
another one from Slayer. Exit this room and go left, then into the room
on the left for some Cadeaux. Did that Hooker in the blood stained room
scare the shit out of you or what? FREAKS. Probably killed you, didn't
he? Return to the hallway and hang a left and enter the next door you
will see for another Cadeaux. Return to the hallway, go left down this
now blood smeared hallway and enter the next door on the left for
another Cadeaux. Return to the hallway and go left, through an archway,
then make a right to snag yourself another Dark Soul and Cadeaux.
Return to the archway and go through the yellow hallway, then through
the door on the left by the two Hookers for some more Cadeaux. Return
to the yellow hallway and climb into that hole in the wall to the right
of the door, follow this wooden corridor to a hole and drop down it.
Follow this next corridor to another hole and drop down into a circular
room. Grab the Engineer's Key, put it on and stick it into the console
by the computer, then the one in front of the door to unlock it. Walk
through another door to be back in the bloody hallway. Go right to the
big steel door with the green light and grab another Dark Soul by the
Trolley you will board in a minute, you should now be at shadow level
three. If you happen to die, walk through the main Asylum doors to be
in this same general area and be sure to grab the 2 Cadeaux to the left
and right of the enterance into the Asylum. Go down the yellow hallway
from this Dark Soul and follow it to a Govi with another Dark Soul
throbbing inside of it, collecting two Cadeaux along the way. Return to
the Trolley and take a ride.

- 1 DARK SOUL
- LA LAME
Exit the Trolley, go through the door on the left, and head down
several flights of stairs to emerge into a room with two Cadeaux and a
Govi housing another Dark Soul. Go through the door to the right of the
enterance into this room for another Cadeaux. Return to the room with
the Trolley and go through the door opposite the Trolley to get the warp
signal. This is the Cathedral where you will open up Schism Traces that
lead to the five serial killers. Some of the traces require Retractors
to open up and some of them do not. You're not nearly powerful enough
to fight any serial killers so don't wander around this place just yet,
unless you want to die from all the Sniper Hogs lurking around. If you
want to see two new cut scenes, go talk to Mamma Nettie and Jaunty
again, then warp to the Prophecy Chamber.
Make your way to the Soul Gate just before the enterance leading into
the Asylum and break through it to collect La Lame, the first piece of
the L'Eclipser, a special knife that will allow you to become Shadow Man
in Liveside. Walk down the skin bridge and bust through the next Soul
Gate. Follow the long tunnel to a circular catwalk and follow it down
collecting a bunch of Cadeaux along the way. Go through the tunnel at
the bottom and enter an area with a lava pit and two Soul Gates. When
you have the Marcher Gads, there are Cadeaux in the lava pit you can
grab, DON'T FORGET! Head to the long skin bridge on the left to enter
the area leading into the Fire Temple.

-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- TOUCHER GADS
- POIGNE
- 8 DARK SOULS
- STICK BOY CHEAT
Walk through the tunnel, this next part can be really confusing so
listen up. When you get to a blood pool with a tunnel across the way,
go right, up the incline and jump the gap to grab a ledge and pull
yourself up, then walk through the tunnel. When you get to another
blood pool, follow the path to the right of it and go into the next
tunnel; jump into two alcoves below for 2 Cadeaux. Drop down and follow
the tunnel around to be on the other side of the first shallow blood
pool. Make your way back up to the second blood pool and dive in, being
super weary of a seemingly endless amount of Manta Rays. Swim through
the blood into a tunnel, then through a hole in the wall to be inside of
a well. Swim all the way to the bottom of this well to collect some
Cadeaux and surface.
Pull yourself out of the blood and you are now in a huge square room
with two sets of stairs and 2 GIGANTIC blood falls. Go up the set of
stairs where the blue lights are above the doors. When you reach the
first door, shoot it with your Shadowgun to break through it. Follow
this long corridor to a room and walk along the left wall for a Cadeaux.
Diagonal to this corner is another Cadeaux. Climb up onto the
rectangular pillars and find a switch up there you must activate to
raise the first stair leading into the Fire Temple. Once you do, beware
of the little hoes flying around trying to kill you. Get used to them,
they will become quite a menace and are found in every temple. Return
to the stairway where you entered this room, go up them and break
through the second door. Go up the stairway on the left and follow the
catwalk around the room to another flight of stairs. Almost at the top
of the stairs, look to your left to spot a corridor. Climb onto the
skin railing and jump to it to activate the Stick Boy Cheat, then drop
down and climb the stairs to hit a switch to raise the second stair
leading to the Fire Temple. That jump for the cheat IS possible to
make, if you have an incredible amount of patience. If you can't seem
to make the jump to get to the cheat, wait until you have the Flambeau.
On your way up the stairs leading to these switches, there is a passage
way on the left at the very top that leads to a bloody curtain and a
couple of Cadeaux. Burn it down with the Flambeau and look for the
hallway leading directly to the cheat. You must kill the thong maidens
in this hallway to get the cheat.
Return to the third blue lit doorway. Enter this room and climb the
platform in the back of this room, grab the thin ledge and shimmy to the
left or right. Pull yourself up, hop onto the pillar and carefully walk
across the wooden beams to the middle of the room and drop down onto the
platform to hit the switch and raise the third stair going into the
temple. In a small alcove to the right of the enterance into this room
is a bloody sheet you can burn down with the Flamebeau once you find it
for Cadeaux, DON'T FORGET! Return to the beams and walk along them for
some Cadeaux. Return to the stairs leading to the fourth blue lit
doorway and follow the wooden catwalk down for another Dark Soul.
Cotinue down the catwalk to activate the fourth switch. Make your way
back up the catwalk and go into the fifth blue lit door. Make your way
to a ledge with two Cadeaux. Hit the switch, drop down and activate the
switch directly below the last one to pass the first trial. Walk
towards the pyramidical stairs you have formed and spot two Govi's in
little alcoves to the left and right of the pyramid. Jump onto the
ledges below the Govi's from the BOTTOM stair. It's probably going to
take you quite a few attempts to snag these two Dark Souls so be
patient. Jump head on into them, not at an angle. If you become too
frustrated, you can wait until you have the Nager Gads to grab these 2
Dark Souls which can be reached by swimming through the second set of
lava found inside the temple, then swim through a tunnel and surface.
Look for the corridors leading to the two Dark Souls and find them with
ease. I wouldn't wait that long for these two Dark Souls if I were you,
the Nager Gads are HOURS and HOURS away. When you have finally
collected them (the Dark Souls), climb the pyramid to the Govi housing a
Dark Soul and you'll also get a warp signal.
As if you weren't already enough from snagging those two Dark Souls
on the ledges, get ready to become even more frustrated while trying to
collect the Toucher Gads. Go through the skin door (which strangely
resembles a bung hole) and jump across the lava, run forwards while
dodging the spinning scythes and swinging hammers and go through the
next door. Get ready to make a GIANT leap onto the wooden platform and
make your way across this booby trapped platform and enter the next
room. This is a huge lava pit, drop off of the ledge in front of the
door to land on a stone platform. Go into first person view and scope
the four alcoves to your left and right, and an oblong shaped alcove in
the back of this humongous chamber. Now you must make your way to each
alcove and activate the switch in each one to eventually make a ring in
the middle of the chamber. This is probably going to take numerous
attempts and you may need to shut the game off after a while so you
don't whip your controller into your television. If you get too pissed
off and want to quit your game for a while, make sure you save before
you quit if you've lowered the Nager ring so you don't have to lower it
again when you decide to give it another shot. When you have made the
ring, enter it to be raised up and the Toucher Gads will be burned into
your forearms.
To the left of where you entered this lava chamber is an alcove with
a path along the side of it leading to a fiery block. Go push the block
in with your newfound ability for some Cadeaux and a Dark Soul. Just
kill the thong maidens and make your way up the wooden platforms and
grab the fiery ledge, then pull yourself up and follow the corridor to
get this Dark Soul. Return to the lava chamber and go grab that fiery
ledge across from this alcove, shimmy it to the right, pull yourself up
and follow the corridor to a room with rectangular pillars; jump on the
one to the left for a Cadeaux. Drop down and hit the two switches
hidden behind the pillars, one to open a door and the other to extend a
rope. Climb up the pillars to the rope, collecting a Cadeaux in the
process, shimmy your way across it and enter the previously locked door.
Follow the corridor to a throbbing Govi and collect the Dark Soul within
it. Push the block in on the left of the stairwell if you were going up
them, the second one, to grab this soul. Push the other fiery blocks
out of the way for some Cadeaux and other surprises. Warp to the
beginning of this temple.
Go back into the room with the two big blood falls, just follow the
corridor opposite the entrance leading into the fire temple itself. Go
up the stairwell with the lights above the doors about half way way to
the top, and then go through a passage on the left to a fiery block at
the end. Push it in and follow the corridor to a cavern, drop down into
it and follow the tunnel to a Soul Gate. Bust through it to receive the
Poigne if you are at shadow level 4, you should be. Now you may climb
all of the blood falls found throughout Deadside. Climb the one to the
left of this altar, with two lights on the ceiling. At the end of the
stream, jump the gap to collect yourself yet another Dark Soul. Climb
back up the blood fall you've just jumped from and climb the one by the
Poigne altar with one light on the ceiling. Make your way to the room
with the two GIGANTIC blood falls and climb both of them, one for some
Cadeaux and the other for a Dark Soul. Now warp to the Marrow Gates to
collect some more Dark Souls if you wish to advance further into the
sick realm of Deadside. This game kicks some serious ass, doesn't it?
You're not even close to the heart of the game yet. It's going to be a
LOOONG while before you'll even face a serial killer, even longer to
defeat this game. There are many, many Dark Souls and items to find
before you can have a good old fashioned serial killer head stomping.
Like I said, you'll get your money's worth out of this collosal game.

-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- 3 DARK SOULS (POIGNE AND TOUCHER GADS REQUIRED)
Climb the blood fall behind the pillar at the start of this level for
your should be 18th Dark Soul, whoo-hoo! When you are at shadow level
10, you can break through that Soul Gate up here for a nice surprise.
That's not for an extremely long time, about 50 hours or so depending on
whether or not you're fast at overcoming the obstacles that lie ahead.
If not, then more like 60 or 70 hours away, maybe even 90 to 100, who
knows? Them Shriekers aren't jack to kill now, huh? If you are having
trouble defeating enemies, R-target them and strafe side to side or
around them and let your Shadowgun charge up before you disperse the
round, I can't stress this enough. Master this maneauver before
entering the Playrooms, you've been warned! If you need help killing
Shriekers, give up NOW and rapidly boil Shadow Man in a two quart
saucepan, forget about it and jam to Zelda or Donkey Kong, I'm surprised
you've made it this far. When you see Jaunty, go talk to him for
another nice little voice segment. Make your way through the gates and
to the broken stone bridge along the left path. Drop down and climb the
blood fall to the left of the bridge for another Dark Soul. Warp to the
Prophecy Chamber. Cross the stone bridge and push the fiery block out
of the way to snag yourself another purple Dark Soul and enter the
Wasteland.

-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- 4 DARK SOULS (POIGNE REQUIRED)
Go to the blood lake with 4 blood falls pouring into it. Look for a
switch next to the hut and hit it to make a rope leading to some Cadeaux
extend across the lake, go get them (one's on top of the skin hut). Now
climb the blood fall to the right of the enterance to this lake to
retrieve a Dark Soul inside of a hut, and be sure to grab the Cadeaux
behind this hut. Now climb the blood fall to the left of the enterance
to the lake of blood for a Cadeaux and walk through the tunnel to
another blood lake. Go right, past a tunnel, jump and follow the ledges
to another Dark Soul. Dive into the lake and search for the Cadeaux on
the bottom; swim through the tunnel into another blood lake, be sure to
check the bottom of this one for Cadeaux as well. Surface, look for
skin platforms and grab the Cadeaux on the small island, then follow the
platforms up to the next Dark Soul and your shadow level just raised to
5 if you are following this walk through. From the Dark Soul, jump to
the left and grab some Cadeaux, climb the tower and pull the lever on
top to activate a skin Windmill. Drop back into the blood lake below
and swim back through the tunnel and surface. Go down the tunnel to the
right of where you first entered this area and jump on the little wooden
Trolley going across the lava to reach the 24th Dark Soul. Warp to the
Temple of Life.

-- ITEM TO BE COLLECTED:
- 1 DARK SOUL (TOUCHER GADS REQUIRED)
When you reach the fiery altar, jump to the right and make your way
to that spiked platform ready to stab the shit out of you. Jump into
the room to the right of it and push in the fiery block to grab yourself
another Dark Soul and some Cadeaux. Hey, perfect timing! Take 100
Cadeaux to God Loa's chamber and offer them to her, you do remember how
to get there, don't you? Warp to Asylum: Gateway.

-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- 4 DARK SOULS (TOUCHER GADS REQUIRED)
- DEADSIDER CHEAT
SURPRISE! Hey, these morons weren't here before. These guys are
wimps, just R-target them and strafe to the left and right to avoid
their incoming rounds. Hellen Keller has better aim than these bozos
can ever dream of having. Drop onto the pipe to the left of the draw
bridge leading into the Asylum and make your way across it through a set
of slamming doors and into a wooden corridor. Follow it and drop down
onto the next pipe and shimmy your way around the burning vent pipes,
then hop onto the platform with two Cadeaux. Walk up the inclining
corridor to a room with a zombie locked in a cage. Go into the room to
the right of this cage for another Dark Soul, some Cadeaux, and a freak
chasing you with a Chain Saw, ARRGHHHH, it's Leatherface! I almost shit
my pants the first time I ran into one of these freakoids. I turned
around and he was just all up in my face hacking away, I totally
unexpected him. These guys will rip you up in seconds so I advise you
to keep your distance while fighting them. Climb the boxes and jump to
the rafter over the doorway where you've entered this room to activate
the Deadsider Cheat. Go into the room Leatherface popped out of and
grab the Cadeaux in there. Go into the room to the left of the caged
zombie and go past another caged freak to wander upon the next Dark
Soul. Continue along and hang a left at the fork and go upstairs for
yet another Dark Soul to add to your collection and some more Cadeaux.
Jump onto the crate and balance yourself across the thick cable to reach
your should be 29th Dark Soul if you are following this walk through.
Climb back up onto the cable and follow it to a room with four Cadeaux.
Drop down from the Cadeaux and exit this Asylum by way of the slamming
doors near the enterance to the Asylum, use your Engineer's Key to make
the doors slam and collect the Cadeaux through the doors. The slamming
doors are directly south of the main Asylum doors. Cross the skin
bridge leading into the Marrow Gates.

- PATH OF SHADOWS -
-------------------
-- ITEMS TO BE COLLECTED:
- FLAMBEAU
- LA SOLEIL
Follow the tunnel in the lower Soul Gate to emerge in the area where
you've entered the Fire Temple and go across the bridge leading into
that level. Follow these directions to a tee, this part can be very
mind boggling. Follow the tunnel and go right, down this tunnel past
the two pillars and make two more rights when you get the chance. Go up
the incline next to the enterance to the next tunnel; make a left at the
fork and then another quick left, then take a quick right and bust
through the Soul Gate to receive the Flambeau if you're at shadow level
5. I'm laughing if you're not! Burn down the bloody sheets in this
room with your new toy for some Cadeaux. Follow the path to the left of
this Soul Gate and burn down another sheet for Cadeaux. Now go back and
follow the path to the right of the gate for another Cadeaux. The path
that leads to the blood lake has a bloody curtain to burn down for
Cadeaux. Go back and cross the long skin bridge exiting this level and
bust through the Soul Gate to the left of it. Go down the tunnel to a
bloody stream and a skin bridge, drop off into the stream to the right
of the bridge for a Cadeaux. Climb out of the stream and break down
that Soul Gate, which requires a shadow level of 5, to recive another
piece of the L'Eclipser, La Soleil. Jump into the water around the
altar for some more Cadeaux, DO NOT, I say DO NOT drop down that hole in
the back of this room yet. Exit this chamber and walk along the bloody
stream to another long skin bridge, collecting the Cadeaux in the blood
puddle by the bridge. Cross it to enter the Cageways.
