********************************
1) Introduction to Walk Through
********************************


   Welcome to my very in depth and extensive walk through to Shadow Man
for the Nintendo 64, Sony Play Station, Sega Dream Cast or PC.  Who
brought you this sick, twisted game?  Acclaim, who else?  These guys
rule and no other game companies come close to them, NONE!  Whoever
thought up the idea for this game is a very demented individual.

   You are about to enter the deranged, voodoo realm of Shadow Man.  You
must stop the five serial killers from taking over the world and destroy
the Angel of Death's (Legion) soul.  This game is awesome!  I mean, for
adult gamers like myself, this is the kind of plot I would like to see
more often.  It's a very demented game and is utterly evil, I thought
Satan himself would rear his nasty grin!  The music will send chills
down your spine and the enemies will scare the bejeesus out of you.  The
puzzles will drive you absolutely bonkers so be prepared for a very,
very long adventure.  You will definitely get your money's worth out of
this game this game, I guarantee it!


========================================================================


*******************
2) Version History
*******************


Version 1.0
April 25, 2001
   This is my first, complete version of my walk through.  I listed
every Dark Soul, weapon, and item in the game, including most of the
Cadeaux and all of the cheats.

Version 1.5
April 26, 2001
   I added a cheat I forgot about and a couple more Cadeaux in the Fire
Temple that slipped my mind.

Version 2.0
June 22, 2001
   I forgot a few places for Cadeaux in my origional walk thorugh and I
added them in.  Now all 500 Cadeaux are in my walk through.  I apologize
for any confusion I have caused you.  They are located right through the
main doors of the enterance into the Asylum itself, one more on a pipe
to the right of the FIRST riding platform in the Asylum: Gateway.  I
also added a web site this is legally posted on.

Version 2.5
August 27, 2001
   Well, I only fixed a few typos, nothing major.  I cannot believe all
of the e-mail's I get for this game.  I thank you all for the many, many
compliments I have received on this walk through.  Gaming fans all
around the world are dusting off their copies of Shadow Man and finally
finding every single Dark Soul and item so they can conquer this
extremely frustrating and LOOOONG game.  I'm glad I can help.

Version 3.0
October 10, 2001
   I fixed some typos.  I re-read the whole walk through and some things
made no sense so I made them make sense.

Version 3.5
November 9, 2001
   For all of you Play Station fans out there who can't activate the
cheats, hit your action button TWICE to activate the cheat (that's what
I've been told, don't know if it works or not, I played the N64
version).  I added another web site this is legally posted on.

Version 4.0
November 14, 2001
   Some people brought to my attention that the proper name for Cardeaux
is actually Cadeaux.  So, naturally, I fixed all of the typos.  In my
instruction manual it says Cardeaux but about 15 people e-mailed me on
the proper spelling and it is Cadeaux.
   One more thing, A LOT of people playing this game on the Play Station
console cannot find the last Dark Soul in the Asylum: Gateway area.  It
must be a glitch because only Play Station gamers seem to have this
problem.

Version 4.5
December 9, 2001
   I totally forgot to put the L'Eclipser knife (the most important item
in the game) in the items section, so I added it in.  Fixed more typos.

Version 5.0
December 17, 2001
    Every time I fix typos (mainly mispelled or missing words and
missing commas) on this document and send it to Game FAQ's, I find more
that I know I fixed and it's really starting to piss me off.  Hopefully
this time ALL of the typos will be fixed.  I added a FAQ section.

Version 5.5
December 18, 2001
    Well, I've got the "correct" answers to a couple of questions in my
FAQ section, from a very reliable source (thank you Joe).  I didn't know
the correct answers because I've never played the game on the PSX
console.

Version 6.0
December 18, 2001
    DUUUHHHHH!  I forgot to put the cheat you earn in the Playrooms in
the appropriate place.  Fixed it, it's there now.

Version 6.5
February 3, 2002
   Well, I finally figured out where the Pea Soup Cheat is actually
located.  If you follow my guide, you'll find it but I wasn't sure
exactly where it was because the hallway it's located in only confirms
that I activated it only when it wants to (which is next to never) on my
game.  Damn glitches.


========================================================================


******************************
3) Frequently Asked Questions
******************************

   I made this section because of all the glitches that are in this
game, mainly on the Play Station console.  I get e-mails all the time
from pissed off PSX fans who have encountered *MAJOR* glitches.  If you
are playing this game on another console, please inform me if you've ran
into any of these glitches, with the exception of the re-appearing Govi
glitch.  I know the FAQ section usually comes after the walk through,
but I want PSX fans to be informed of the glitches they will encounter
while playing this game.

1) Q: I am playing this game on the Play Station console and I can't
find any of the cheats to get the Book of Shadows.  I do everything you
say to do to get the cheat but it just doesn't work, what am I doing
wrong?
   A: Since I played this game on the N64 console, which is damn near
glitch free, I personally don't know what the answer is.  Well, I just
got informed by e-mail, from a VERY reliable source (thank you Joe),
that there is NOTHING you can do to activate the cheats in the game if
you're playing on the PSX console.  POSSIBLE SOLUTION: When you go and
try to collect the second Violator, the Book of Shadows will be there
instead (only on the PSX console).  So, after you receive the book, go
try to activate all of the cheats and MAYBE then you'll be able to do
so.  They're not really cheats, but you can play the game as quite a few
different characters if you find the cheats.  I feel for you PSX gamers,
I really do.


2) Q: I have finished the game with 122 Dark Souls.  You obviously
missed a couple of secret Govi's and you need to add them in your walk
through section.
   A: There is a glitch (the ONLY one I've encountered on the N64) in
this game that sometimes make Govi's re-appear.  There are only 120 Dark
Souls to find in this game, NO MORE!  Look all you want for "secret"
Govi's, I guarantee you won't find any.

3) Q: I cannot find the last Dark Soul to meet that levels quota in the
Asylum: Gateway.  The one that should be by the Trolley isn't there.
Where is it?  I have 119 Dark Souls and I really would like to find the
last one.
   A: This is another glitch that only Play Station fans seem to suffer
from.  N64, Dream Cast, and PC fans have never e-mailed me with this
problem.  The only thing I can think of is to try to find a re-appearing
Govi.  The most common re-appearing Govi's are in Nettie's church in the
Bayou and the ones in small alcoves next to the pyramid leading into the
Fire Temple.  Almost every time I play a quest, those are the Govi's
that re-appear the most.  If you cannot find a re-appearing Govi, then
you'll have to restart your quest and hope the one by the Trolley is
there the next time.  OH NOOOOOOOOO!

4) Q: I have found all 120 Dark Souls and went to get my second Violator
and it isn't there!  Instead, I received the Book of Shadows with a
bunch of concept art in it.  What did I do wrong?
   A: This is ANOTHER glitch that only Play Station fans suffer from.
THERE IS NO SECOND VIOLATOR ON THE PSX VERSION.  That's the word from a
VERY reliable source, (thanks again Joe).  You should receive the Book
of Shadows after you find a cheat.  I don't know what in the hell
Acclaim did to the PSX version of the game, but it's just not fair.  I
think that there was too much information crammed onto 1 CD for this
game.  That's probably what the problem is.  Either that or Play Station
rushed Acclaim to release the game, so they screwed all of you PSX fans.
If that's the case, blame SONY, not Acclaim.

************************
4) The Shadow Man Story
************************


   There is a place far beyond death, where every last soul that ever
died and left its human host resides for eternity.  There is no escaping
this place, no exceptions for any soul.  It is a place that has no hope,
no past or no future, no boundaries to hold the evil, trapped as it is
as an unending present.  A dimension of the dead, where the massed ranks
of billions upon billions of souls roam this wasteland in search of
living souls to devour.  This place is known as Deadside.

   For thousands of years, the Shadow Men have been protecting the world
of the living souls from the ones trying to cross over from Deadside to
banish the world of the living.  If it weren't for these ancient voodoo
protectors, there would be no Liveside.  The dead souls would transform
our world into a place you can't possibly fathom.

  Shadowmen of ancient times were African warriors blessed by the Gods
with supernatural powers to protect their native tribes of emanating
souls from the dimension known as Deadside.  When the Spaniards began
collecting slaves in the late 17th century, the Shadowmen lineage had
almost died out.  In the early 18th century, a very powerful voodoo
priestess crafted the Mask of Shadows.  This mask summoned the powers of
Les Mysteres, the New World Gods, to empower the wearer of the mask the
ancient powers of the Shadowmen.  From then on, there could only be one
Shadow Man in existence at a time.  This mask will make him the ultimate
voodoo champion in any dimension, certaintly powerful enough to keep the
chaotic forces from Deadside at bay from invading the peaceful world of
the living.

   Mike Leroi is the current unfortunate soul to bear the Mask of
Shadows on his chest.  At Mike's will or Nettie's command, the mask
transforms him into the Walker Between the Dimensions, Immortal Voodoo
Warrior, Taker of Dead Souls, Lord of the Dead, the SHADOW MAN!


========================================================================


**************
5) Characters
**************


- MIKE LEROI / SHADOW MAN -

   Born in New Orleans, this 32 year old is a victim of his own demise.
After flunking out of college to become an English Literature Professor,
he resorted to drinking and spent the rest of his college fund from his
parents on women, booze, and gambling.  He then took up a job as a taxi
driver in Chicago and lied to his family and pretended to be a college
professor.  In 1991, Mike was taking some young punk to unknowingly make
a drug deal.  When the deal started to go bad, the dealers shot Mike's
passanger in the back of the head gangsta style and he floored the cab
to get out of there and save his own life.  When Mike ditched his cab,
he was petrified and wiped the cab down of his finger prints and
discovered a duffle bag in the hands of the dead punk and he took it.
Inside the bag, he discovered $20,000!!!  In a paranoid panic, he
returned home to New Orleans and showered his family with gifts and
payed for his little brother Luke's much needed operation with his
newfound fortune.

   Well, it turns out that the Mob was responsible for the shooting and
had tracked Mike back home and demanded their blood money or Mike and
his family would die.  In utter fear, Mike sought help from a Bokor, a
voodoo priest, to cast a spell of protection from the Mob.
Unfortunately, this spell the priest had cast worked far too well.  To
celebrate Luke's homecoming from his brain surgery, Mike was taking his
family out to dinner and they were all murdered at a stop light in a
drive by shooting, Mike barely survived.

   After waking out of a coma of 5 years, Mike had lost all of his
memory.  He was brain washed and drawn into the voodoo underworld by the
Bokor.  Mike is now doomed to be the Bokor's zombie slave for eternity,
the price he had to unknowingly pay for the spell of protection the
voodoo priest had cast upon him.  Taking a new identity as Zero, Mike
had served as a hitman for the Bokor and was totally unaware of his true
identity.

   One dreary night, a very powerful voodoo priestess named Mamma Nettie
walked into the Bokor's bar, the Wild at Heart, and seduced Mike into
her bed.  While Mike was sleeping, she summoned her powers and implanted
the Mask of Shadows into Mike's chest making him the next Shadow Man,
now her eternal slave and under her complete control.  When Mamma Nettie
regained her powers the next day, she destroyed the Bokor and took his
soul.  Then Nettie gave the Wild at Heart's deed to Mike and gave him
back his memory, which he wished she hadn't, for it constantly torments
him.  As the Shadow Man under Nettie's control, Mike just can't simply
"end" his suffering.  Until he finds out a way to break this curse and
seek redemption for the horrors he has commited, Mike is doomed to obey
Mamma Nettie's every command for eternity.

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

- MAMMA NETTIE -

   Nettie is the powerful voodoo priestess who crafted the Mask of
Shadows and has complete control of whomever wears the mask.  Although
this sexy mamma appears to be in her mid twenties, she is in fact
centuries old.  She simply stole the body of a young woman who she had
drawn into the voodoo underworld.  Although Nettie is a powerful voodoo
priestess, she does not have the powers to travel to Deadside.  She has
an assistant in Deadside named Jaunty and uses Mike to carry out her
orders of horror in Deadside.

   Luckily for ole' Mikey, he must regularly have sexual relations with
Nettie to sustain her powers and maintain her youthful form from the
powers of the Mask of Shadows.  Because she has never expierienced
Deadside, Nettie's advice to Mike on fulfilling the prophecy of the
Shadowmen are just mystical allusions.

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

- JAUNTY -

   Jaunty is Nettie's assistant trapped in Deadside, the Watcher of the
Marrow Gates.  The Marrow Gates are the enterance into the horrific
dimension of Deadside, or the enterance into the peaceful land of the
living, the place in between the worlds.  This poor chap was on his way
to a fraternity party at the Dublin University and was kidnapped by a
group of "wanna be" Satanists.  They ritually sacraficed Jaunty and his
soul was doomed to Deadside.

   When Jaunty's soul passed over the plane of existence into Deadside,
Mamma Nettie spoke to him across the veil and offered him a deal.  The
deal was for him to become her spy in Deadside, her eyes and ears and
she would give him a new body.  He agreed and is now doomed to be a
disfigured skull serpant for eternity, under Mamma Nettie's complete
control and must guard the Marrow Gates and inform her of anything out
of the ordinary.

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

- DR. VICTOR KARL BATRACHIAN, A.K.A. THE LIZARD KING -

   This freak is the leader of the Five (serial killers), the brains of
the bunch.  He was born in Geneva, Switzerland and is the son of a very
wealthy Banker.  Dr. Batrachian graduated in the top of his class from
Cambridge University in 1985 and received a degree in Forsenic
Psychiatry.  He then spent the next 4 years at Med School in London to
become a General Practicioner (MD) and was expelled from school without
completing the courses.  In early 1991, he made a bogus MD Degree and
forged false documents so he could enter the United States.  He then
estabilished a medical practice in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Batrachian
was indicted on five counts of murder following the discovery of an
insurance fraud and the deaths of five of his patients, all wealthy
widows who had willed him their entire fortunes.  Dr. Batrachian eluded
Police for a while, but was picked up while trying to cross the state
line at a road block.  While waiting in the Sherrif's Office to be
questioned, he killed 2 Sherrif's and escaped, only to be put on the
FBI's 10 most wanted list.  In Dec. '95, Dr. Batrachian mailed a letter
to the Dallas Mornig News which they printed it the next issue, it read:

Dear Sirs,
   I have brought HIS Kingdom to Earth and a bloody cleansing is nigh.
Indeed, it is well overdue.  I am the leader of the Five, we are the
Watchers of the Gate of Souls.  We shall make the way for the coming of
HIS Glorious Army and as a fanfare, we demand several sacrifices.  Blood
sacrifices for HIS pleasure.  So be aware then, that the road to your
Golgotha shall be slippery with your blood.  FOR WE ARE MANY.
                                                  I remain, as ever,
                                                  disrespectfully yours,
                                                         The Lizard King

   Pretty morbid, isn't it?  A few weeks later in Jan. '96, the corpse
of an unidentified young man was discovered in an abandoned boat house
on the shores of Lake Fore Phantom Hill, TX.  The head of this poor
soul, according to Forsenic Scientists, had literally exploded from the
inside out, as if some strange internal pressure blew it off.  Burned
into his chest, above his heart, was the symbol of the Lizard King and
he had a poem clutched in his left hand.  Over the next year and a half,
12 more murders followed.  All of the victims were young men, had the
symbol branded above their hearts and a poem clutched in the left hand,
it read:

             The Lizad King shall lead the Five,
             From out of the southern goal shall cut HIS bloody swathe,
             True hate shall find the way,
             In HIM the darkness stands revealed,
             HIS eyes are void as a dead man's gaze,
             As cold as the light of a dying star.
             FOR WE ARE MANY.

   FBI Agents captured Dr. Batrachian in August '97.  He was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to fry in the Electric Chair in the Gardelle
County Prison.  He then organized a takeover of the prison, and thus
far, suceeded.  The Natinal Guard is posted around the prison and have
not yet been given orders to take back the prison facility.  ATTICA,
ATTICA!

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

- MARCO ROBERTO CRUZ, A.K.A. THE REPO MAN -

   This 70's obsessed geek was a Repo Man for 5 years, worked as a
deejay and, at one time, owned an auto repair shop.  Formerly served 7
years for armed robbery and aggrevated assault.  He was implicated in
several homicides and the DA could not prosecute due to lack of
evidence.  From Feb. to Nov. '96, Cruz had kidnapped and murdered ten
people, preying mostly on couples in and around the Mojave Desert and
Death Valley.  The Repo Man symbol and poem were found near the victims,
it read:

                For in the western deserts HE finds a form,
                HE is the child with the mouth of blood,
                The bleakness before the beginning of time,
                HE is the glint of ice in a murder's eye,
                The savage heart of every crime.
                FOR WE ARE MANY.

   Cruz stupidly left his finger prints at the last murder scene and was
quietly picked up.  He was later tried and convicted and is currently
awaiting his execution in the Gardelle County Prison.  It is not known
if he is involved in the takeover of the prison.  Come on now, I'm sure
he's just sitting in his cell reading a book and being a good old boy.
Or maybe he's in the TV room watching old re-runs of Hawaii Five-0!

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

- MILTON T. PIKE, A.K.A. VIDEO NASTY KILLER -

   Vietnam Veteran (1971-73), Green Beret, Special Forces electronic
countermeasures expert.  Pike was dishonorably discharged in '73 and
worked as a TV repair man until 1980.  In 1975, this sick bastard shot
and killed his own mother.  Who could do such a thing?  He was not tried
due to lack of evidence.  Milton joined an anti-government militia in
1980, "American Knights of the Cross."  In early '81, he formed his own
militia and called them "Knights of the American Heartland" (KAH).  The
KAH had a fortified compound in Eureka, FL.  The KAH had incorporated in
'82 and Pike blew up the compound, murdering 18 of his own men.

   In 1991, Pike was arrested for the murder of a hiker strolling
through the woods in the Cypress National Preserve.  Milton escaped,
killing 2 deputies in the process and his whereabouts remained unknown
for the next four years.  From Dec. '95-'96, he murdered 9 women and
sent 6 video tapes with his symbol on them to State Police Officials.
In these tapes, this sick bastard filmed how he hunted down and savagely
murdered his victims.  This poem was found near the victims:

                 And lo, if war should have a face,
                 This one of Five would show the bleeding mask,
                 Ears pricked to savor every scream,
                 Teeth bared to strip the carcass wet,
                 And tongues to lap the vessels dry.
                 FOR WE ARE MANY.

   Pike was captured by the FBI in 1996 following a furious shoot out
where Pike killed three FBI Agents and wounded five others.  Seriously
injured, he passed out and remained in critical condition for several
days.  Upon his recovery, Pike was tried and convicted on 11 counts of
first degree murder and is awaiting his execution in the Gardelle County
Jail.

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

- AVERY MARX, A.K.A. HOME IMPROVEMENT KILLER -

   This sicko has murdered so far 12 people of both sexes in and around
the New York City area.  Not much is known about this fellow except his
signature of a poem crammed into the skull of a Canary, it reads:

                From the east the idiot monster cometh,
                With nails to announce its blasphemous intent,
                In still dark chambers it awaits the Shadow,
                Ebon body scar the power,
                Dark Messiah with a hideous strength.
                FOR WE ARE MANY.

   Marx was picked up in 1997 following an attack on a young woman.  He
escaped while out on bail.  He is also wanted for the murder of his
mother, who bailed him out, and his whereabouts are unknown.

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

- JACK II -

   There is very little known about this freak except for the fact that
he is Jack the Ripper of 1888's replica.  In fact, he's Jack the Ripper
resurected.  He has so far murdered 4 women in and around London
Underground Stations in the East End of London.  All of the victims had
nearly the same names and were found in nearly the same locations of the
1888 murders.  On the morning following the first murder, this poem was
discovered written on a wall near Shoreditch Station:

                The Watchers of the Gate of Souls shall make the way,
                The Five are red in teeth and claw,
                The head, the heart, the hands, and the eyes,
                All combine and create the Five.
                FOR WE ARE MANY.

   Discovered in white chalk the morning following the last victim:

                The knife shall curve its bloody ritual,
                A sanginuary return to a darker place,
                Flesh running cold with the shredding tears,
                To shred, to cut, to slice, to know,
                The weeping wound and its glowing soul.
                FOR WE ARE MANY.

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

- LEGION, A.K.A. THE ANGEL OF DEATH -

   I dubbed this dude the Angel of Death because that's what he is.
Legion is the master mind behind the dark, twisted plot of the game and
wants control of both dimesions, and he will stop at nothing to obtain
it.

   "Angel of Death, Monarch to the Kingdom of the Dead, Infamous,
Butcher, ANGEL OF DEATH"  Slayer, off of their "Reign in Blood" album.
If you don't own this CD, I advise you to get your ass to Media Play and
buy it NOW!  Jam to the CD while you play this game, the music fits
perfectly with the dark, twisted theme of the game.

6) Enemies
***********


These are names I made up for the enemies:

- SHRIEKER:  Your ears will bleed while listening to these freaks scream
and moan.  They are weak, stand in one spot and shoot a red spermiezoid
looking thing at you.  Kill them all for some peace and quiet.

- SMIDGET:  They are about knee high, have two heads and call out your
name.  They are very weak so you don't have to worry about these circus
side shows too much.

- GARGOYLE:  These are zombies that fly around and scrock acid on you.
They are the most annoying creatures in the game, especially that
horrible sound they make.  If you want to climb a blood fall, you better
kill these things before you climb.

- SLASHER:  These zombies are pretty tough to deal with and are
extremely deadly.  They like to charge right up to you and embark upon a
slice-n-dice extravaganza with their insanely sharp claws.  Take them
out from afar, some of them spit acid.

- MANTA RAYS:  These annoying little buggers are infesting the waters in
all of the blood lakes found throughout Deadside.

- ZOMBIE DOG:  Skinless dogs that are only found in the Bayou and London
once you have assembled the L'Eclipser knife.  They are very tough to
kill at a low shadow level and are quite vicious.

- HOOKER:  Little green pigs in butcher smocks armed with a meat hook in
each hand.  Do not get upclose to them, they will kill you VERY fast.
Just run away from them or jump side to side making sure you avoid their
hooks.  The Baton will burn them up pretty quick.

- LEATHERFACE:  They're bigger than Hookers and are armed with a Chain
Saw, they also have a bone shield (human chest cavity) they use to
protect their heads.  They are very fast and really tough, they will
charge right up to you and start hacking away.  Just run away from them
and try to take them out from a distance.  Use your Baton if they get
too close for comfort.


- SNIPER HOG:  These dudes are armed with a rifle and try to snipe
Shadow Man.  They have the worst aim I have ever seen, just strafe to
the left or right when they fire to easily avoid their rounds.

- TROOPER:  They are black, wear a gas mask, and are armed with a
Hatchet in one hand and a Machine Gun in the other.  They are pretty
weak but the reign of bullets they send your way are devistating.

- DOGMEN:  These guys are crawling around on all fours and sporting blue
bikinis (very weird).  They are the weakest creatures in the entire game
and should go down with one fully charged shot from your Shadowgun.

- SOUL SISTER:  These chics are found in the Fire, Prophecy and Blood
Temples.  They are blue, red, or gold, and are wearing thong bikinis.
They usally awaken after you activate a switch and will follow you
around shooting a soul sucker weapon at you, kind of like your
Shadowgun.  Just R-target them and strafe around them to kill these
chics with ease.  You can just run out of the room if they are too tough
for you, they will not follow you out of the room they awoke from.

- GIANT ZOMBIE:  These things are really BIG and when you kill them,
they leave behind a nice surprise.  They launch fireballs at you and
some sort of homing soul thingies.  Don't get too close to these freaks
or they will slice you all up with their claws and stomp on you with
their feet.  The best way to deal with these monsters is to put up your
Enseigne and continuously pelt them with fully charged Shadowgun rounds.
The Violator will bring these freakoids to their knees in no time, but
you have to use your Shadowgun to finish them off.

- HEADLESS GUARD:  These guys are lying all around the prison facility
and will come to life when you walk near them.  Some of them carry
Billie Clubs and others are armed with Shotguns to rip you a new bung
hole!

*********************
7) Weapons and Items
*********************


   One of the best things about this game is that you have to find
absolutely every last weapon and item in the game.  Most of these items
are required to beat the game and are hidden pretty damn well.  Acclaim
offered no freebies in this one folks.


  ITEMS:

- LUKE'S TEDDY BEAR:  This allows you to travel between the dimensions.
When you reach certain points in the game, you'll see a teddy bear face
flash across the screen, this means you can warp to that level at any
time by using the teddy bear.

- NETTIE'S FILE:  This file contains very detailed information about the
five serial killers you are out to destroy.  Take the time to read it
someday, it's very canny I must say.

- THE PROPHECY:  This is special information left to you by the former
Shadow Man.  It tells the the story of the Prophecy and shows you all of
the items that can be found throughout Deadside and gives a brief
description of the item.

- JACK'S JOURNAL:  This is Jack the Ripper's diary and is loaded with
blue prints for the Asylum, the "Cathedral to Pain" he built to take
over the world and torture it within.  It gives you extremely valuable
information on the Schism Traces and gives you the combinations to shut
down the four pistons in Asylum: Engine Block.  It also explains a few
other freaky things, check it out once you find it.

- BOOK OF SHADOWS:  You will obtain this book after you have activated a
cheat.  There are 12 cheats to find throughout the game.  There are no
cheat codes to punch in the options screen for all you wussies out
there, ha ha!  You have to find them all fair and square if you wish to
use them.  If you are playing this game on the Play Station console, you
can only obtain this book when you've found all 120 Dark Souls.  I know,
what a bummer!

- THE GADS:  Impressive voodoo tattoos that give you the ability to
withstand extreme tempratures.  Toucher Gads allow you to shimmy fiery
ledges and push in fiery blocks, Marcher Gads will allow you to walk
through lava; Nager Gads allow you to swim through lava.

- GOVI:  These orange cacoons contain Dark Souls.  You must use the
Shadowgun to obtain the purple Dark Soul within.  You must find at least
95 (out of 120) Dark Souls if you want to beat this game.

- L'ECLIPSER:  You must find three pieces to assemble this knife.  They
are: La Lame, La Luna, and Le Soleil.  Once you've assembled the knife,
you can become Shadow Man in Liveside so you can destroy the serial
killers.  You cannot destroy a serial killer as Mike Leroi, you have to
be Shadow Man.  You cannot use this as a weapon.

- POIGNE:  These pronged wristbands will allow you to climb the numerous
blood falls found throughout Deadside.

- RETRACTOR:  These are keys that will open up a Schism Trace leading to
the serial killers.  There are three of them to find.

- ACCUMULATOR:  A black power cell used to unlock the almighty Violator
in the Playrooms and some ammo for it.  You have to find at least three
of these to unlock the Violator.  There are five in all to find.

- PRISM:  These can be obtained after killing Jack II, Avery Marx, and
the three bozos in the prison.  The Prism's open up the Soul Gates
leading into the Engine Block to shut down the pistons.

- ENGINEER'S KEY:  A cool key that slides over your arm.  Use this to
unlock doors all over the Asylum.

- ENSEIGNE:  This is a voodoo shield that protects you from enemy
projectiles, at least until your magic runs out.  Very handy when
fighting Giant Zombies.

- FLASHLIGHT:  Allows you to light up darkened areas in Liveside only.

- PRISON KEY CARD:  Allows you to open up doors in the Gardelle Jail in
Liveside.  A guards chopped off hand is still holding the card which I
think is pretty cool.

- LIFEFORCE:  These restore your life meter.  They are in pots and
barrels and almost every enemy you destroy with the Shadowgun will leave
one behind.

- GOLD SKULL:  Restores your magic.

- CADEAUX:  Small red seeds that can be found all over the place.  When
you collect 100 Cadeaux, take them to the Temple of Life and offer them
to God Loa for an extra hit point on your life meter.  There are 500 in
all to find.

- AMMO:  There are three types: Shotgun Shells, 9mm, and Violator.
