Max Steel - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

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

Kill the guard and enter the room. Run over to the left and jump up on the box.
Climb, hand-over-hand to the switch. Flip it. Jump on the box nearest you (on
your right). Wait until you can jump onto the other box. Do so and then jump
over to the closest ledge. Open the door. This camera is fast. Run and jump to
the door on your left.

Move down the hall and kill the guards. Blow up the energy relay nearby. Kill
the guards and get the items from their rooms. Go back through the camera room.
Jump onto the crate when it's near you and then onto the other crate. Jump to
the far ledge (not where you activated them and to where the energy field was
at. Jump quickly to the next one and through the door. Kill the guard and enter
the elevator.


--[ Dawn ]---------------------------------------------------------------------
W00t. You get to fight Dawn now. Okay, she's annoying because she teleports,
but if you go Turbo, she's a piece of cake. Just like the first boss. Don't
waste ammo on her. Just go turbo and kill her.

Touch the icon to exit the level.


--[ Deeper Penetration ]-------------------------------------------------------
Go through the door and kill the guard. Break the boxes and continue through
the next door. Kill the two guards and get the health and armor if you need it.
At the end of the hall, kill the two that come out of the left door. Now, go
into the right door. Dodge under the first camera and kill the gunner. Next,
run through the door before the camera activates the gun (easier than avoiding
it).

Open the door to your right and kill the guard there. Get the armor and health
if you need it. Exit and go past the steam when it dissipates. Kill the
sludglings and go through the door to your left. Kill the guards and get the
health and ammo. Exit. Get the N-Tek from the sludge room. Continue forward
through the door.

Kill the guard on your left. Now, move through the steam like before. Go out
the door. Kill the three guards and take the lift. Target the barrels and blow
them up. This should kill the guard. Crawl through the vent. Go through the
door and shoot the electric relay to drop the barrier. Go into the door.

Kill the guard and go through the next door. Kill the two guards and dodge the
cameras (watch them and it'll be *really* easy). Enter the door that Jefferson
entered to finish the level.


--[ The Final Countdown ]------------------------------------------------------
Go through the door and through the right door. Kill the three guards here.
Take the lift and go through the door. Run around the corner and kill the two
guards. The furthest one away from you is the one you want to kill first since
he'll lob grenades (though he's also fond of killing himself). Open the door
and kill the guards. Get the silver keycard. Stock up and go back up the lift.
Run down the hall and use the panel next to the door. Go through it.


--[ Bio Baddies ]--------------------------------------------------------------
There are four of them. Here is the order they come out:

  2 3 3 1

Kill them with grenades while they are trying to get around the glass and
you'll be fine. Shooting them is also preferable to hand-to-hand combat. Still,
they're simple enemies.


=== CLIFFSIDE MISSILE COMPLEX =================================================
Objectives:
  - Capture the fake Jefferson Smith and find out where the real one is being
    held.


--[ Cliffs ]-------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the rifle and target the three guards to kill them. Next, head inside the
cave. Go through the door and kill the two guards. Go through the next door and
kill the guard there. Go outside and kill the two guards. Go in the door near
the gunner. Climb through the vent and stock up. Exit the vent and the room and
continue down the path. Kill the guard at the end and enter the door.

Go down the hall and kill the guard. Exit the hallway and target the electrical
box next to the rocket launcher. Blow it up before it can blow you up. Next,
target the guys over there and go through the door 9you have to destroy the gun
before it'll open). Kill the two guards inside. Go through the door to the Max
Steel icon.


--[ Other Side of the Cliffs ]-------------------------------------------------
Go through the door. Enter the first door. Kill the guard on your left. Next,
run into the room near the guy you just killed and shoot the grenade guy before
he can blow the both of you up. You can go Turbo and break the wall behind him
to get more goodies. Leave.

Enter the next door. Kill the guy to your right. Now, run into the room and
kill the gunner and two thugs. Get the Silver Passkey from the gunner. Use it
on the lock and open the door. Shoot the barrels to kill one thug. Run around
the corner and kill the gunner next. Walk out carefully. Blow up the power
relay for the far gun. Move forward and blow up the relay hidden behind the
cliff. Destroy both guns quickly.

Run down the path. Kill the gunner and enter the cave. Kill the thugs there.
Okay, it's an annoying box puzzle.

   SS
   S1
 E  D F
   C

  A    B

Move E right twice. Move C up. Move The first stacked box (1) up (stand on D).

Here's a map of the vent:

         |       |
  EXIT --+       |   +-----+
         |       |   |     |
         |       |   |     |
         |       |   |     |
  EXIT --+       +---+-----+
         |       |         |
         +-----+-+         |
               |           |
               +-------+---+
                       |
                       |
                     START

Just go to the exit, wait for the coast to be semi clear and drop in to kill
the guards. If you're really hurting (and I can't imagine you would be), you
can break the wall for some ammo and health. Otherwise, enter the elevator.


--[ Inside the Base ]----------------------------------------------------------
Exit the elevator and kick the hell out of the two thugs. Then kill the ones
who run in with your gun. Go out the only door in this room. Head to the right,
following the robot. If it sees you, shoot it, but be ready to destroy the gun
that pops down. Flip the switch. If you want some ammo and stuff, go turbo and
break the wall on the side opposite the switch.

Go out the door opposite the one you came in. Run up the hallway and kill the
guards. Enter the door and then the door on your right. Kill the guard and use
the console. Input: B, A. The lasers should all be moving towards the back now.
Wait for the second wave and run and jump. Go through the door.

Okay, now go and jump in the pit (the far end of it) when the camera on your
right is away from you. Break the energy relays. Target and shoot the cameras
above you. Flip the switch. Climb up the ladder. Shoot the guns and run to the
exit. Turn around and shoot the small light above you. Now, this part is
annoying. Go through the door and shoot the relay on your right. Go through the
door.


--[ Deep Infiltration ]--------------------------------------------------------
Open the door and kill the guard. Open the next door and start shooting the
guards. Kill all five and shoot the guns. Now, head to the left. See the door
you can't open? Turn left and go down the small hallway. Kill the guard and
continue to the next room. Run past the spinning device and into the next room.
Kill the two guards and use the panel.

The key here is to turn all of the dials so that they point to the similar
colored area (South). Once that is finished, leave the room. Now, target the
device and shoot it in the gap. Exit to the main room and go down the small
passage on the opposite side of it.

Kill the guard. Run down the hall and into the next room. Kill the guard. Now,
hiding behind the pillars, shoot the cameras on either side of the room. Walk
up past the turrets and up the stairs. Break the two energy relays. Shoot the
top glowing portion of the generator. Go into stealth mode and run through the
room to the main room. Go through the door you have access to, kill the guard,
and go through the next door.


--[ On the Inside ]------------------------------------------------------------
Kill the guard and break the boxes to stock up on anything you need. Go through
the door at the end of the hall. Kill the two guards and exit the room.


--[ Big Bad Bot ]--------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, use grenades, mines, and detpacks on it. When it goes out of commission,
target the glowing parts of it to destroy it. It's easier to switch weapons in
the start menu. Just keep your distance and you shouldn't have that difficult
of a battle. The order of things to hit is: right arm, left arm, back).

Run through the open door and to the end of the railway. Go through the doors
and up the right side of the room (there's a stairway). okay, it's an annoying
code.

All you have to do is match the buttons with the lights. I hate that.


=== MAYAN TEMPLE ==============================================================
Objective:
  - Investigate Dawn's jungle base.

--[ Getting In ]---------------------------------------------------------------
Run up the path and kill the three guards. Go into the guard booth and flip the
switch. Run inside and kill the guard. Go through the next door. Stock up and
go through the next door. Target the guards and the electrical relay. Take them
out. Run around the corner and kill the next three guards.

Flip the switch and go through the door. Kill the guards on the right first and
then take out the guns. Continue to the right and through the big doors. Kill
the guard and climb up the boxes on the left side. Climb up on the wall. Jump
down and head to the next guardhouse.

Kill the guards you can see. On the upper right building, you'll see rocket
launchers, destroy it lest it destroy you. Kill and straggling guards. Destroy
the camera and enter the third door on your left. Flip the switch in the
computer room and take the lift nearby. Exit the room. If you need to stock up,
you can jump over to the ledge above where the camera was. If not, head towards
the satellite dish and across the bridge. Jump over to where the rocket
launchers were and enter the door.

Go down the hall. Kill the guards and continue. Paast the next door, kill the
guards and go through the right door. Stock up and exit. Jump up on the right
ledge and over the wall. Enter the large area to your right. When the tank
comes out, take out the guards. The tank is easy. Just stay close to it and
fire at the small machine gun whenever it starts firing. Once it's destroyed,
kill the other guards and get the Silver Passkey. Enter the second place where
the guards came out and flip the switch. Go back through the big gate and use
the panel nest to the door there. Go on inside.


--[ The Main Temple ]----------------------------------------------------------
Enter the room and go through the door. Kill the guards and shoot out the
cameras. Head down the hall and enter the last room. Break the crate and get
the Gold Passkey. Now, head back down the hall and enter the right door. Use
the panel next to it. Kill the two guards and get the Blue Card. Flip the
switch and watch the cameras by pressing the buttons on the desk. Go back out
to the hall and through the door on your right.

Kill the two guards and shoot the camera. Next, run down the hall and kill the
guards as they come. Enter the door right across the hall from where the two
run in and kill the guards. Get the Blue Card. Explore in here a little bit and
flip the ewitch. When you find the map room, blow open the safe and get the Red
Card. Head back out to the hall and go through the door you opened. Run down
the hall and to the right. Use the panel with the code: B, B, A. Go through the
door. Kill the guard and use the computer.

Exit the room and kill the guard. Run up the hall, through the door, and down
the right hall. Go through the door and kill the guard. Crawl into the vent. Go
through it and kill the guard. Touch the Max Steel(tm) icon to get in the
truck.


--[ The True Temple ]----------------------------------------------------------
Make sure to search around this level. It has some really cool elements to it.

Kill the two guards that run in and get the blue card. Enter the door. The
first priority here is to destroy the rocket launcher on top of the building.
Next, kill the guards and get the Red Card. Jump down into the pit to the right
of the entrance, kill the guards, and break stuff up to get the Green Card.

Climb back out and enter the doorway near the pit. Use the code: Y, A, B. Use
the switch. Exit and destroy the guns after they've done their dirty work. Exit
and run through the door where the guns killed the guards. Fight the different
enemies, stock up and go through the last door.


--[ Psycho ]-------------------------------------------------------------------
Run circles around him and shoot him. Otherwise, go turbo and go in for the
kill. The easiest boss other than Dawn.


=== DAWN'S COMPLEX ============================================================
Objective:
  - Beat Dawn and rescue Jefferson.

--[ Complex ]------------------------------------------------------------------
Run around the railing and through the door. Run down the hallway. Open the
door at the end of the hallway. All you have to do is shoot the pods at the top
of the generators and kill all the enemies that remain. Then go through the
door.

Kill all the enemies quickly and head through the left door. Destroy the
machinery and go through the door. Kill the enemies and follow Dawn. Destroy
the machines. Kill the enemies in the next room and go through the door. You
know the routine, destroy the machines. Rinse, repeat, until you get to the end
of the level.


--[ The Long Walk ]------------------------------------------------------------
Walk up the hallway, destroying the machinery. go in the door at the end.
That's basically it.


--[ Demon Dawn ]---------------------------------------------------------------
This thing is annoying. First of all, if it gets close to you, run. When it
jumps up on the walls, dodge the crud it spews and target it. It will jump down
at you. When it jumps down, shoot it in the head as its mouth is open. This
will cause a goodly amount of damage. Continue this process. Don't ever try and
take it on hand-to-hand or you will die horribly when it grabs you.


--[ Dawn ]---------------------------------------------------------------------
Go turbo and kick her ass. She's as simple as the last time you fought her.
Unfortunately, the last battle has probably left you hurting. She's an easy
one, though. Just go Turbo and kick her ass.

CREDITS AND THANKS

  - CJayC and Shadotak for putting up with my crap as long as they have.
  - My ferrets, Kiki and Tuffy.
  - Shonen Knife, just because.
  - Fright Night, for giving me a break while writing this. The 80's nightclub
    scene is worth more than most Hollywood flicks today. Remember, vampires
    drive Jeeps. Also, if you've seen the Seventh Sign, you'll be led to
    believe that God drives a jeep by a bad camera cut near the end.
  - And NOT to the makers of Detrol. That shit will give you UTI's. Remember,
    your bladder lets go for a reason. If you don't let it control your life,
    it'll screw with you and crud up your works. Plus, you don't want the side-
    effects. Believe me. I mean, have you heard them? They are on par with
    conditions for crack babies. I mean, really. No one needs that. NO ONE.
  - Katie Holmes. She needs to do more teen b00b movies. So does Danica
    McKellar. OH yeah, and Ted Danson. Wait...did I type that out loud?
