Max Payne - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Max Payne - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

Payne- "The word on Lisa Punchinello was that she was a bit of a witch. The
tarot cards on the kitchen table fit the picture. They weren't my kind of
cards, but I was willing to take a crack at the hand Mrs. Punchinello had
dealt. The first card was the tower. Maybe that was supposed to be the manor.
It got easy after that. The Devil was the master of the house, and Death was
me, coming for him."

You're back in the room. Go into the room the man had run away from you in.
There are 3 guys in here. I suggest an Ingram. Bullet-time forward and just
keep on shotting. They will die. Once done, go back into the room with the
cards. There are 2 guys in here. Kill them and go into the room to the right.
Not the white door, the right door. There are 2 thugs in here. Kill them and
avoid the grenades the guy is throwing from the ledge. Go into the next room
and kill the guy behind the sofa. Then examine th piano before continuing.
Pressing the A button will make Payne hit the keyes. I cannot recognize the
song, but some body will!(If you find out please e-mail me at
Sushimi_X@yahoo.com). Go into the next room. Kill the 2 guys and collect the
ammo. Then go into the white door. Kill the guy by the staircase, then kill the
one who comes down the stairs. Go up the stairs and go to the nearest door.
Kill one of the Trio guys in there. 2 down, 1 to go. Go back, and go into the
white door at the other end of the landing. There will be a warning that they
are blowing the door. RUN!!! It will explode. Then go into the door. Kill the
three guys in here, but dont waste painkillers. This isnt the last of the trio.
It is just 3 thugs. Kill the 2 guys in here and grab the painkillers. In the
next room, there is a body on the bed, examine. Seems it could be Mona or her
sister. Keep going and examine the phone(grab the painkillers also. It's Woden,
he warns that an armed helicopter has landed on the estate. You've got company.
Go into the next room. You'll be in a hallway, there are 2 guys to kill. Kill
'em. Then go into the next room. Number 3 is in here, plus 2 other guys. Kill
them pick up the painkillers and continue....what? You thought the level was
over? Okay, maybe it is.

Punchinello- "Outside my dorr... Hurry... He's coming for me... You've gotta
hurry... please!"

Payne- "I could hear Punchinello on the phone, begging for help. He should have
been saying his goodbyes."

NOT! A man will come in and shoot Punchinello and then go for you. Kill him and
exit. You will be surrounded by at least 10 guys.....dont worry. You dont have
to fight them.

Payne- "I could tell that I was outgunned. It was time to get another beating.
The mystery witch was a real barracuda, trouble on dagger-heels, a smoking
assault rifle in her hand, and an army of killer suits behind her."

???- "How sweet, I get to kill two birds with one stone."

Payne- "Sooner or later it was going to catch up with you."

???- "Mr.Payne. It's time to show you the benfits of my brew. Be a good boy
now."

Payne- "You'd find that lady luck was really a hooker, and you were fresh out
of cash."

Save your game.

???- "Gentlemen, we are done here. Take me to Cold Steel."

Payne- "She had just given me an O.D of Valkyr. I could feel green fire eating
my brains.  They truned to steam. They did a fade on me. I had never had a
chance. The witch had got me just as sure as if she'd put a gun to my head and
pulled the trigger. The shadows rushed me, bruised mug-shot faces hungry for
revenge. They knew my weak spots and closed in for the kill. The floor turned
into a vortex of green blood. I fell."

Michelle- "Max, something happened at the office today. A strange memo, talking
about Vikings."

Payne- "Honey, I've got to run. You can tell me all about it this evening."

Michelle- "Have a nice day, darling."

Payne- "The bullet holes were rubies on her chest, blood glowing on her ivory
skin. She was so beautiful. The killer was smiling."

Flashback Lupino- "The flesh of fallen angels."

Payne- "Slowly the green nightmare faded, leaving dark stains on my soul that
would never come off. I felt like flatlining. I was all shook up. I woke up in
a cold sweat, sick and tired to the bone, lying in a puddle of my own puke. The
hag had said take me to Cold Steel before it had all gone crazy. It was a clue,
the only one I had. It took me forever to crawl back to my feet and hit the
road, but when I did, I drove straight to Cold Steel foundry outside the city.
There was a whole lot of action around the place for a freezing winter night,
truck coming and going, men running. I had the drop on the mystery witch, she
thought I was dead. I was on her blindside. I was going in..."

3.Part 3
     h.Cold Steel
You start off in a room with nothing but some box's and a laser trip bomb. To
avoid damage I threw a grenade near the bomb and it went boom:) But, I think
you might be able to go through the laser nearest to the wall. Anyways, when
you go through collect the ammo from the nearby boken box and go through the
door. Go down the staris and kill the 2 men down thier(1 is hiding). The go
into the nearby steel box and kill the guy who suprises you in there. Collect
the ammo in both steel boxs and go back upstairs. But dont go through the door.
Instead go right. Keep going until you reach a door. Go in to find some
painkillers, ingram ammo(and I strongly recomend you use the Ingram is this
level since you dont have your sawed off anymore. Examine the radio also, it
informs you about the ongoing storm(NOTE: If you do examine the radio the
enimies outside will respawn). Leave the room and go back downstairs. Go to the
switch in the left corner and press it. It will open the door, go in. There are
2 guys in here. Kill them and grab the painkillers in the breakable box. After
your done go into the next room. More trip bombs.  Get behind the silver steel
and use a grenade. Then proceed. Kill the man in here and go for the
painkillers. This will lure another thug with a shotgun, stay at the crner and
when he is in range bullet-time around the corner and take him out. Take all
the supplies and continue. You will have to use the switch again, once done
proceed. This is tough, one guy will shoot across the molten pit, another is
shooting from right beside you. Now, the second guys is tough, get too close
and he will grenade you, use bullet-time on him and dont bullrush or your dead.
Once you've taken this room go into the next one. In here there are more
tripmines. Shoot the first guy and keep shooting till the mines explode. Then
bullet-time around the corner and finish the second guy off. A guy will be
hiding around the boxs. Shoot him as he rolls out. Then go around the corner
and kill the other guy. He tends to only use grenades, so be careful. Then,
finish off the guy gaurding behind the door. Then, you will be in a room with a
guy standing on a ledge shooting you, kill him and then keep going, another man
will come from around a corner, kill him. Go into the next door and kill the
man in the hallway. Go into the nearest door and kill the 2 men in there. There
are a ton of painkillers and piles of ammo in here. Take it all, and then
examine the phone. It will inform you that the thugs know your there. Its party
time. Go back into the hallway, and then through the next door. There are 2
guys in here. Kill them and the open up the cabinet. Go around the corner and
into the nearest door. Collect the painkillers and ammo in the cabinet, then
examine the papers on the desk.

Payne- "The mercenaries were running a tight operation, paperwork and all."

Mercenarie- "Merchandise missing again. A chemist had tried to smuggle it out
for his own private party. Locked himself up in cell 87 in D-6's old test
facility to wait for proper processing."

Payne- "I was close enough to hear the secrets just beyond the next doorway."

When you walk back outside you will be confronted with 2 new enemies. Kill them
and proceed through the door you didn't go through the first time. Kill the
enemy in the room and then go into the next room. Trip bombs.....do the same
thing as before. Except this time a hole will be cut in a pipe and fire will
spring out. Examine the wheel and the fire will stop. Then proceed through the
door. You will be in a hallway, 1 guard, nothing much, keep on going. You'll be
in a room with more trip mines. Use a grenade, but this time no lever. You have
to wait for the fire to stop and then go through the opening. Watch out though,
if you run into it, it means instant death. Go through the first one and
collect the things on the side, then continue. Then go through the last one,
now you'll be at the door, proceed. You'll be in another hallway with 1 enemy,
easy stuff, continue. In the next room a flame will be blocking your path to
one of the doors, so go through the other one. Go through the flames and turn
the valve(conviently placed right behind 3 flaming pipes:). Once done, exit and
go through the previosly unaccesiable door. You will be in the hall, kill the 2
guys and then shoot the gas can. Then go through the door. You will be in a
room with 2 doors, go straight ahead into the first door. Kill they guy and
collect all the ammo and painkillers, then examine the console. The console
will tell you to go to elevator D-6. Exit the room and go into the other door
in the room(NOTE: There are 2 enemies in the room when you go back). Go into
the room and kill the guy on the edge with the computer, then kill the man who
followed you. Examine the console. The steel will crush the door, and now you
can go through. FIRE!!!! You will go through a hallway will flames, easy. At
the end of the hall examine the button to open the door. Go in. Kill the 2
thugs and collect the ammo out of the breakable box. Examine the button and
proceed. Kill the man on the ledge, you are at elevator D-6, examine the
buttons. A red light will flash(alarm) and 2 thugs will jump out. Kill them and
go into the elevator and save.

     i.Underground base

Seems the elevator leads to an underground base, you start off in a small room,
pick up the painkillers and ammo to your right and then examine the panel. You
will be in a room where some thugs are talking, they will kill thier partner,
activate the self-destruct sequence and attack you, kill them and then stand in
the middle of the room and press B.

Payne- "There was an old army bunker under the steel mill I knew the military
plaque on the floor. I had seen a thousand variations of the insignia on
crumbling brick walls everywhere in the city, the sword replaced by a syringe.
Project Valhalla. Valkyr. V for Valhalla. All of a sudden it read like a
crackpot conspiracy theory."

You will be in the same room. Go to the panel that is green, go inside the room
 to see more thugs talking. They will attack, kill them. Run behind the green
containers and grab a bevy of painkillers. Then go into the next room. Kill the
man in the hallway and continue. In the next room there will be 2 men. Kill
them and continue. In the next room examine the computer. You need some kind of
door code, so go into the only open door. There will be a small room. Kepp
going into the next room. Go into the small enclosed space where the dead
chemist is, the password is on his computer, it is 668. Go back to the computer
and examine, it will unlock. Go into the newly opened door. You will be in an
elevator, once up go outside. You will be in a hallway, continue. Go to the end
of the new room and examine the panel to let a chemist out of his cell. He goes
to block A, follow. In this hallway your new freind is instantly shot. Kill his
muderers and then examine his body, you have his keycard now, continue. You
will be in another hallway, continue. Another elevator, go down. You will end
up in a hallway go through. Go up to the left to the Test Facilities. Go
through the hallway to end up in another elevator, no enemies, boringness. You
will be back where you had to get the password, go to where you got it but this
time go through the door near the body. You will have to dodge the flames, do
so and enter another elevator. Trip mines, use grenades and go to the computer
in the lower right hand corner, examine.

Computer- "Top secret. Project Valhalla. U.S Army. Yggdrasil Network. Valhalla:
the otherworldy place in Norse mythology where the bravest hereos spent thier
afterlife feasting and fighting forever, thier wounds miraculously healed night
after night. Valky: the maidens who chose the most courageous Viking warriors
and carried them to Valhalla. 1991. The research objective is to create a
chemical substance to enhance the stamina and morale of infantry troops. 1995.
Results unsatisfactory. Project cancelled."

Payne- "Someone had decided to continue the sick experiment unauthorized. Just
when you thought you had reached the deepest depths of horror, it suddenly got
worse. How to turn off tat small voice inside your head that started to whisper
that you should be glad, that now, if not before, your revenge was justifiable
on any conceivable moral scale? That small voice proved, beyond any doubt, that
I was damned."

You back int the room. Go across the room into another elevator. You are put in
a room with another dead chemist, grab his eycard(you stealing thief!). Pass
through the next 2 rooms doging the flames, until you reach another elevator.
You run out in bullet-time to see the elevator explode behind you.

Payne- "You piece together a jigsaw and the final picture is you finishing the
same puzzle. A mad, green-eyed killer behind you. An urban legend come true.
The project Valhalla test subjects had been the mad junkies who had murdered my
loved ones. The rest was simple bodycount math. It all pointed to her:
Ms.Valkyr. The factory wnet up in a fiery inferno behind me. All my leads were
dead, turned to smoke and dust. I had lost my way. I hadn;t slept in a million
years.(Save) Woden was waiting for me on the steps of the old building."

Woden- "Mr.Payne. Let's go inside. The others are anxious to begin."

Payne- "The other?"

Woden- "Despite the general misconception, this buidling actually predates the
City Hall by two years, thus being the oldest municipal building still in use
here at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge."

Payne- "No kidding. The answers I was after loomed large ahead."

Woden- "Mr. Payne, I would like to introduce you to my colleagues in what we
call the Inner Circle."

Payne- "You've been watching to much X-files."

Woden- "You have seen the files on Project Valhalla. We can fill the gaps,
provide you with the information missing from those files. We were all involved
in the early stages of the project during the Gulf War."

Payne- "Whats the catch?"

Woden- "We would very much like to blow this thing wide open. But out hands are
tied. Her name is Nicole Horne. She was the key figure in Project Valhalla.
When the funding was discontinued, she simply refused to quit. She knew exactly
what she had in her hands. Nicole Horne is the president of Aesir Corporation.
She has more than half the city in her pocket. This must be kept under wraps.
If you try to go pubic with this, we will deny any knowledge. We need you to
take her out. After this, I can protect you. Make all the charges go away."

Payne- "That was the cue for the killer suits to kick in the doors and swarm
inside. It was an impressive floor show, but I decided to leave early anyway.
It was only a one story fall- lucky me."

     j.Old Building
You will start off in a snowy courtyard. Kill the 2 men and then go into the
upper left hand corner. Then press down, its sort of a hidden door. In the
hallway you will be attacked, kill the guy and continue down, another person
will come from the door, take him out also and proceed. In the next room kill
the 2 first guys, then kill the ast guy behind the bookcase. Then go up the
stairs. In the upstairs hallway you will run into an enemy, kill him and go
through the door at the end of the hall. Imediatly kill the 2 enemies in here
and examine the computer, seems Woden is still alive. Continue. You will be in
a hallway, kill the 2 enemies and go through the only oepn door at the end of
the hallway. You will be in a room full of cubicles. Go grab the painkillers
and attack the man facing the other way. Then proceed to the next cubicle and
kill the other guy. Proceed into another hallway, kill the 2 men and go into
the door at the end. Pick up the tape in the room. Seems that Nicole had
blackmailed the inner circle, take the tape and continue. In the next room kill
the 2 men and then go behind the desk and examine the thing. Woden has laid out
plans for your assault on Aesir Corporation. You take the plans, then continue.
You will be in a huge room, kill the 3 men that attack you, you cant go through
the elevator so go to the door in the top right. You will be in a hallway, the
enemies will hide behind desks making the impossible to hit, you will sustain
alot of damage in here but you will survive, continue. You will walk in on a
couple guys talking, kill them and take the keyes on the table. Backtrack to
the elevator. Save your game.

Payne- I took my time, cruising around the city in the snow. There was no
hurry, I knew what I had to do now. I took my time, thinking about it, building
up the rage. When I was ready I parked the stolen wheels at the front entrance
of the Aesir Corporation headquarters. Got out, got in, got cracking. I had a
bullet with Nicole Horne's name on it. I had 1,000 for whoever stood in my way.
She had ultra-high-tech security systems, enough mercenaries and weaponry to
start World War III. There was no fear. New York disappeared behind a veil of
snow. I had crossed the threshold. This was her domain: sleek and sexy and
soulless, all glass and steel. A place of color-coded security key cards, metal
detectors and surveillance systems. Colder than a walk-in fridge, cold as a
gun."

     k.Aesir Corporation
You start off in the front of the building, right in front of metal detectors.
Go through, you have to, it will set off the alarms though. You have to overide
the security now that the alarms are going. You will have to take care of many
gaurds. Kill them and go into the door to your left. Hit the switch on the
panel to open level 1 security. Go up, you will be in a room filled with trip
mines, grenade them and pick up the extra life and stuff, then go through the
door at the end of the hallway. Kill the three men in here and then head up the
staris, grab the painkillers and head back downstairs. Blow up the computer in
front of the screen. All the locks are offline now, go back downstairs. In the
main entrance go to the elevator to the far left, press the button.

Payne- "Mona. Looking good."

Mona- "Max, we gotta stop meeting like this."

Nicole- "It will be a cold day in hell before I'll let a narc cop stop me.
Ms.Sax, do your job."

Mona- "Relax, Max. You're a nice guy, I don't kill nice guys."

Payne- "You're not a bad one yourself."

Mona- "It was defferent when Horne wanted Punchinello dead, to cut her ties to
the Mafia. He deserved to die."

Payne- "Same goes for her, she's the bad guy here. Her sister was wispering to
her in my favor. I knew the appetites of ghosts intimately. They hungered for
revenge."

Mona- "MAX!"

Payne- "NO! A gunshot boomed and she fell down in slow-motion. She was a nice
girl, not really a stone-cold killer, and now she was stone-cold dead. Like
religous fanatics or loyal samurai Horne's private army was coming at me. When
the elevator came back down, Mona was gone. There was alot of blood, but no
body. Something clicked for the final time. My mind had never been so clear, as
if somewhere high above the storm clouds were already gone, cold stars blazing
from the black skies."

You will be back in the room, kill any hostiles! Then go up the elevator.
Nicole will run, take care of the merc's and chase her. You will be in a
hallway garuded by 2 merc's kill them and go through. What the guys say makes
you really regret killing them though. In the next room Nicole will run again,
kill the merc's, a total of 6 will have to be disposed of before you can
proceed. When done do so. Bullet-time around the far corner and shoot the
mines, it will kill the two men and get rid of the mines. And then go into the
elevator. The next room will have shotgun ammo in it. You will be out on the
roof. Trip mines block your path around the building, grenade them. Jump the
gaps and kill the shooter. These part is grueling, jumping the gaps stinks. You
will have 2 emeies along the way. Find the door and kill the guy who ambushes
you. Then go into the elevator. In the next room kill the guy in front of you
and blow the mine. Go up the stairs and repeat. You will be in a room with 3
elevators, kill the 2 merc's and the kill the 2 that come through the other
elevators. Then go through the open elevator. Kill the 3 men inside the square
room and then kill the 2 that walk in. Then go through the door at the top.
Either door you go into will lead to a door at the bottom left of the right
angle rrom, but before you go through kill the 2 thugs.

Payne- "Valkyr had been meant to be a white-winged maiden that would lift you
to warrior's heaven. But it truned out to be a one-way demon ride to hell. The
devil was in the drug. I knew. I had met him. And now I was going to kill her.
A devil on earth trying to lift herself to heavem with drug money. No begging,
no bribes, she knew better honor among killers, 'we who are about to die', both
of us knew how this would end. In pain and suffering."

Nicole- "All this, because your wife stuck her nose into things that were none
of her buisness."

Payne- "The cops were coming to take me away. The sirens were like a bad
conscience I couldn't shake."

Nicole- "It's ridiculous you have made it this far. You won't be alive when
they get here."

Your in the room again. Kill all the thugs and examine the computer, it will
reveal a secret door in the wall. Go through. You will see Nicole go through
the door and it will promt you to save. Do so. You will be on the roof. Kill
all the guys as quickly as possible, the use grenades under the supports and
give em 3 good boos, do this on all 4 and the radio tower will fall on the
helicopter. Sit back and watch the ending.

Payne- "And then it was all over. The storm seemed to lose its frenzy. The
ragged clouds gave way to the stars above."

Bravura- "Max Payne, this is Deputy Chief Jim Bravura from the NYPD. We've got
the building surrounded. Throw down your weapons and lie down with your hands
behind you head."

Payne- "A bit closer to heaven. The cops voices were distant and muted."

Cops- "Freeze! NYPD! Hold it right there!"

Payne- "My ghosts released me from thier haunting. Down below, New York City
glittered like diamonds on black velvet."

Bravura- "You gave us one hell of a ride. Take him down to central booking."

Cop- "You heard the man."

Payne- "Woden was there, in the crowd standing by the sidelines. It wouldn't be
over till the man with the patch would say so. He'd say the right words. I knew
he would. He'd better. Woden grinned smugly, it was the grin of a winner. That
made 2 of us."
