Evil Dead: Hail To The King - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Evil Dead: Hail To The King - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

Now, as for the game itself...

I think Ash definitely screwed up somehow and ended up sending the Book 
of the Dead into the past where it got published and quickly overran the 
world.  The sign in the window says it's been on the New York Times 
best-seller list for 300 weeks, which is almost eight years.  Since 
Raymond Knowby first found the book eight years ago, Ash may have 
somehow altered history and made the professor's translations 
successful, although I'm not entirely sure how.

Ash let go of the Necronomicon while he and Jenny were in the vortex and 
it seemed to fly ahead of him.  Since Evil Ash and Jenny arrived in 
Damascus almost a week before he did after they leaped through the 
vortex at the end of disc 1, perhaps the Book of the Dead ended up 
dropping into the present seven or eight years before Ash and Jenny got 
home, landing in Dearborne where some publisher found it and turned it 
into a bestseller.

Either way, with all these books around, it's a safe bet the Dark Ones 
rule the world--which is why the sky has an evil face and the city is 
deserted.

Hope that helps some--and let me know any theories you have about the 
ending!

SECTION 11: UPDATES
-----------------------------------------------------------

12/30/00 - A quick and small update; due to a typo, the walkthrough gave 
the wrong solution to the graveyard puzzle.  It's been fixed now--thanks 
to Doozer810 and others who pointed this out to me!  I've also fixed a 
few small spelling errors and done some light proofreading--nothing else 
about the guide itself has changed, though.

12/31/00 - Last update of the millenium!  I've proofread the FAQ and 
played through the game to compare the two.  The walkthrough's been 
updated with a much more thorough section on the graveyard.

1/01/01 - Added a Frequently Asked Question section to the FAQ--thanks 
to everyone who's written and made it possible!  I've also slightly 
modified the walkthrough and added the mushroom-spawning tip to the 
Hints and Tricks section...special thanks to REVILFAN for pointing that 
one out!

1/03/01 - Added one more question to the FAQ warning of a potential bug 
in the game--watch out!  See Frequently Asked Questions for more 
details...

1/07/01 - Added a few more questions to the FAQ and some minor 
proofreading.

1/10/01 - A tip from CCONRAD15 and some more proofreading...

3/11/01 - Some grammatical changes and an extra question added to the 
FAQ.

4/03/01 - Last update for the FAQ, since I feel confident that 
everything in the game has been covered.  Finally checked and updated 
the FAQ to include a biscuit in Knowby's cabin--several people wrote in 
to tell me about that and thank you to all of them.  I've also added a 
few more details to the infamous library puzzle, checked up on THQ's 
website for last-minute revelations, and included links to both the 
official game's website and to Bruce Campbell's official site.  Thanks 
to everyone who helped contribute to this FAQ!

SECTION 12: SPECIAL THANKS AND CONTACT INFO
---------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Renaissance Pictures for making 
the coolest horror-series in existence!  Thanks to THQ for doing a truly 
faithful translation of the series, and, since this is the first FAQ 
I've ever done, thanks to everyone who's read it and to all who have 
written with comments and suggestions.  Hopefully, as more secrets and 
codes are uncovered, I'll have more updates and future versions of this 
FAQ.

missed, or just want to talk about the game, e-mail me at
