Shenmue 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Shenmue 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

- Head back to Xiuying's apartment and a cut-scene will occur as 
you go up the stairs of the apartment block. After looking at the 
picture she drops that says "Xiuying and Ziming" on the back you 
can go to bed.

- The next morning Fangmei will wake you again. Ryo will ask her 
who Ziming is and she'll tell you that Xiuying was raised in an 
orphanage which her brother Ziming left when she was young. You'll 
have to carry the books from the library. It's the same as before 
except halfway through it Fangmei will offer you some tea. Ryo will 
say that she reminds him of the cat near his house in Shenmue and 
she'll storm off ^_^

- Take the paper to Collect Antiques and the owner will explain it 
to you.

- Go and see Guixhang in Yan Tin Apartments by entering and 
knocking on room 101 and she'll tell you how to interpret it.

- When prompted, arrange the 4 cups in the pattern shown on the 
paper. The pattern is this:

O
  O   O
    O

To do it you must move the leftmost cup up once and the third from 
left cup down one. Press A when you're finished. Remember this 
pattern as you'll need it soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ NOTE: If you go back to Yan Tin Apartments now Guixhang will   ~
~ teach you a new move in the construction yard outside. After   ~
~ explaining that she taught Jianmin his Tai Chi, she will teach ~
~ you the Hind Blow (Y+B). Perform it on the Land Shark and his  ~
~ brother to learn it.                                           ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[NOTE: If you need to go to Xiuying's Apartment until the next 
morning do so - in the morning you'll have to do the book job until 
12pm when you'll be given a move by the priest again]

- Go to the Man Mo Bistro near Man Mo Park in Wise Man's Qr and 
make the Chawan Sign. You will be given a note that tells you to 
wait at the Come Over Guest House.

- Go to Green Market Qr via South Carmain Qr and head for the 
Guang Martial Arts School. There will be a short cut-scene. After 
it, enter the courtyard.

- Zhoushan will teach you a new throw, the Wild Throw. Press B 
followed by any direction on the D-pad to perform it. On the fourth 
practice throw the man towards Zhoushan and you'll have mastered it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ If you want to you can take this opportunity to go to the Pine    ~
~ Game Arcade and talk to Joy. You may notice that she mentions     ~
~ both Yokosuka and Master Chen. This is not essential to the game  ~
~ however.                                                          ~ 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ If you want to go to the cafe in Green Market Qr called Canton    ~
~ Cafe and make the Chawan sign. You'll have a short QTE with the   ~
~ two drunken thugs from near the start of the game.                ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Go to the Guest House and choose to wait (left option). At 7pm the 
owner will answer the phone but it'll be for you. They tell you to go 
to Man Mo Park.

- To get there enter Wise Man's Qr from South Carmain Qr. Go right 
past all the antique shops until you reach some steps leading up to 
the Man Mo Bistro. The park is on the right.

- You'll be confronted by a mysterious thug under the tree, but be 
ready to press right in a QTE.

- You'll now have to free battle a couple of thugs. At the start 
of the fight you're surrounded but if you separate them up and 
attack one while the other is down it's an easy fight.

- The men are looking for Yuanda Zhu, too. All they know is that he 
sometimes makes contact at the Dou Jiang Diner in Lucky Charm Qr.

- Go to Lucky Charm Qr and look for Dou Jiang Diner - it's opposite 
Earnest Tea Shop. Arrange the cups inside and you'll be given another 
note from the unidentified messenger. Ryo will try to follow him but 
he's gone. It tells you to go back there at 8pm.

- You'll have to be back at the diner at 8pm as the note says. By 
going back into the diner you'll have the option to fast-forward the 
time until the meeting. Select the left option to do this.

-  Ryo will meet an associate of Yuanda Zhu, but almost as soon as 
the meeting begins it'll be gatecrashed by a gang of thugs. Free 
battle them, but the guy who you were meeting with has been taken.

- There's now a _HUGE_ QTE. The combination is B, A, A, A, B, X, then 
there will be a new-style command QTEs. When the guy appear with a 
melon the action will freeze and you'll be shown a button combination 
in order to avoid harm. The combination is down, down, X. After that 
the QTE continues: B, A, B, B, B, A, B, A, X, A, B, X. There will be 
another command QTE at the end in order to avoid a beating with a lead 
pipe from Yuan. The combination is down, right, A. During this action 
you will have recieved a little background help from Xiuying.

- Afterwards the guy you saved will tell you that his name is Zhang. 
Yuanda Zhu is in hiding because the Chiyoumen is looking for him and 
he doesn't know where he is but a rival of Don Nui of the Yellow Head 
syndicate, Ren of Heavens may know his whereabouts. Ren is the leader 
of the Heavens gang in Aberdeen (Heavens No Ren = Ren of the Heavens).

- The next day leave Scarlet Hills. You can't go through Wise Man's 
Qr because of construction work so take a detour through Lucky Charm 
Qr.

- There'll be a cut-scene with Joy as you go through Lucky Charm Qr. 
She just asks where you're staying as you are not staying in the 
guest house any more, but only insults Ryo.

- Go back to Aberdeen and to Worker's Pier. Look for the two boat 
captains on the left as you enter. Talk to the one on the left. He 
says that Ren and the Heavens are found in Beverly Hills Wharf.

- Go to the entrance to Beverly Hills Wharf (you should have seen it 
at the start of the game). The guard won't let you in so it looks 
like you're going to have to find another way in.

- Go into Fortune's Pier, go forward, and on the right there's a 
red metal staircase. Go all the way to the top and enter the Blue 
Sky Beer Garden.

- Talk to the guy playing darts at the end of the corridor. Agree 
to play him. Agree to the terms that if you beat him he'll give you 
the information about where to find Heavens members. Whether you 
beat him or not he likes you so he'll tell you about the Heavens in 
warehouse 8 at 7pm.

- Go to warehouse 8 and choose to skip to 7pm.

- Free battle the Heavens and if you beat them (not difficult) 
they'll take you into Beverly Hills Wharf. You'll have to free 
battle a whole load of Heavens but eventually you'll be 
overwhelmed and beaten up.

- You'll wake up in Wong's boat. He's looking after you until 
you're better. The next day he'll give you a Heavens lighter which 
acts like a pass to get into Beverly Hills Wharf.

- Leave the boats and when you reach land turn right, then left up 
the concrete steps. You'll have your first first-person free 
battle against one of the Heavens. This is how you'll fight all the 
Heavens so get used to it. Ryo's three-kick combo is very effective 
(A, A, A).

- Walk up to the group of Heavens ahead and talk to the one who was 
on the gate before. Free battle them and he'll tell you about Cool 
J (named Cool Z in the English version, presumably because Sega 
didn't want a lawsuit from LL Cool J's lawyers) who knows where to 
find Ren.

- Continue on and take the first right, then go right again.

- Fight the Heavens and you'll get a map of Beverly Hills Wharf for 
winning.

- Continue on until you find an arena fight in progress. You can 
take part in this later but for now continue on and fight three 
Heavens. When you win one of them will lead you to Cool Z.

- Cool Z says he'll take you to Ren for HK$500. Take this 
opportunity to place a navigation mark (B) in this area because 
Beverly Hills Wharf is like a maze until you get used to the 
layout.

- You'll have to raise the money. You can fight the wildman in the 
ring in Beverly Hills for cash that increases with each level - if 
the wrestler is at level 1 you'll get HK$10, if he's at level 4 
you'll get HK$40, etc. To beat him you have to knock him out in 5 
hits. I got the money by working at Fortune's Pier, but you could 
always work the Pachinko boards, armwrestle, or gamble. Probably 
the quickest way to get the money is to play Big or Small (walk 
past the steps leading to Blue Sky, turn right, then left, and 
into the alley). Bet the maximum and keep betting on Big as it has 
the best odds. You can double your bet each time and I got up to 
over HK$1000 within a few minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Around this time if you work carrying crates you will be taught  ~
~ a new move, the Brawling Uppercut by Delin. It's a very powerful ~
~ move and definitely worth getting. To perform in you have to     ~
~ press back, back+X                                               ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- When you've got HK$500 go and see Cool Z again. He'll take you to 
Ren's warehouse.

- Ren will take your donation and pull a knife on you in an attempt 
to kill you. You'll have to press left, right, A in a command QTE. 
Impressed, Ren will give you a map of Fortune's Pier that lets you 
know where to meet him to find Yuanda Zhu.

- Go to Fortune's Pier and follow the map.

- Ren will take you to F warehouse. He'll spring a stealthy attack 
 and steal the money, but it will blow your cover. Free battle 2 
thugs.

- Whether you win or not, go outside where Wong and Joy tell you 
to find Ren in Pigeon Park (he set you up to take your money and 
ran off while you were busy!).

- Go to Pigeon Park in Aberdeen for a cut-scene. All the Heavens 
will run in different directions. Follow any one but the quickest 
route is to go straight for Ren who's hiding in Lucky Plaza in 
Queen's Street. It's an alleyway on the left as you walk down the 
street.

- When Ren sees you he'll run into the construction site. Ryo will 
follow him and you'll have another QTE on your hands. The proper 
combination is down, A, left, then you'll have to be ready on the 
left and right buttons as Ryo is off-balance walking across a thin 
pole.

- After the pole QTE there will be a command QTE on the roof. 
You'll have to press up, A, up. Ryo and Ren will fall off the roof 
and land on a conveniently-placed truck.

- Ren will notice the Phoenix Mirror which has fallen out of Ryo's 
pocket. He thinks that there is money involved so in exchange for 
some of the money he tells you that Yuanda Zhu is in Kowloon. 
You'll have to meet him there.

- The next day go to the Man Mo Temple and head around the back. 
Xiuying will have a flashback about her brother Ziming and then 
teach you a new move, the Counter Elbow Assault (back+X+A). 
Perform it on Hanhui to master it.

- There will be a cut-scene with Fangmei in which she'll give you a 
picture of everyone from the temple to remember them by because 
you're going to Kowloon!!

END OF DISC 2

=========================
(iii) DISC 3 WALKTHROUGH
=========================

[NOTE: THIS IS THE START OF SHENMUE CHAPTER 3]

- You'll arrive by bus in Kowloon on Dragon Street.

- Walk ahead to meet Cool Z. He'll take you to Ren's hideout. Ren 
will tell you about a former associate of Yuando Zhu called Yang 
who owns a herb shop in the Great View Building.

- Follow Ren to the Great View Building in Thousand White Qr. Don't 
run ahead or Ryo will get lost and go back to the hideout.

- Go to the 2nd floor and into Great View Herbs. Ring the bell on 
the counter.

- After the cut-scene in which Yang tells you the password to 
meet Zhu ("Dragons Don't Sleep") and that you can find him in 
the Dancing Dragon Building. You will be outside with Ren. This 
is Don Nui's territory so Ren won't go any further, but you can 
leave the building and go left and under the archway. Turn left 
and go up the steps into Dimsum Qr.

- Bear right and then go left. On the right you should see the 
Stand Qr and the Dancing Dragon Building. Go into it.

- Go left and there will be a suited guard. Talk to him - one 
of Ryo's phrases ("Dragons") should cause another 4 options to 
appear. Find it and choose the longest phrase out of the new 4 
("Don't Sleep"). He should point you towards the stairs.

- Go up the stairs until you come to a guard but no gate in front 
of the corridor. Say the same thing to him as you did to the first 
guard and he'll let you pass.

- Go on up the stairs (if you're stopped say the same thing) until 
you find the door with the dragons on either side. Enter and watch 
the cut-scene that introduces Don Nui, the Hong Kong kingpin.

- Ryo and Ren will be thrown into a cell and handcuffed together. 
Three days later they'll make an escape attempt. When the guard 
opens the door be ready for a command QTE (X,A).

- You'll now have a series of QTEs and cut-scenes as Ryo and Ren 
try to escape. You'll have to press the right direction or action 
button to make sure they run the same way. Midway through it 
you'll have a command QTE to open the door - just press up, A. 
When it finishes you'll get a scene of them spending the night on 
the roof. Ryo tells Ren the story about his father, the mirrors, 
and Lan Di.

- The next day when you head for the elevator Yuan will appear. 
Press down, right, A in a QTE to avoid her knife and beat her.

- Before you can celebrate your victory Don Nui appears out of 
the other elevator. He'll chase you but you'll be stuck at a 
dead end on an upper floor. As Ryo and Ren take a run-up you'll 
have to press up, up, A in a command QTE to jump to the next 
building and safety.

- You'll now be back in Ren's hideout. Cool Z will get Wong to 
remove your cuffs. Outside you'll have a cut-scene with Joy. 
You're going back to Great View Herbs to get revenge on Yang for 
setting you up.

- Follow Ren to Great View Herbs. When threatened Yang tells you 
that a wiretapper called Huang may know where Yuanda Zhu is. He 
is found in room 902 of the Tea Break Building.

- After the cut-scene go behind the Great View Building and into 
Dimsum Qr.

- A little further along there will be an open-fronted cafe with 
a woman in a kimono. In the back you will find the entrance to 
Tea Break Building. Go inside.

- Take the elevator up to the 9th floor. Turn around and go down 
the corridor to find room 902, Huang's Room.

- Turn on the light switch and lift the cardboard box off of the 
trash can. Ryo will take the trash can full of tapes back to Ren.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ This final tape is quite amusing to listen to because it is full ~
~ of tapped phone calls. You hear several related to previous      ~
~ events in the game (land sharks wanting to evict Guixhang, Yang  ~
~ informing Don Nui about you, and many of Yuan). The best is the  ~
~ last call when the timer reads 651 when you hear Joy call        ~
~ Gui Zhang from Shenmue and tell him about Ryo. She refers to     ~
~ Master Chen as 'Uncle Chen' but this does not mean that she and  ~
~ Guizhang are cousins as older people are commonly referred to as ~
~ 'Aunt' or 'Uncle' in Chinese culture as a polite gesture.        ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- When you take control of Ryo with the final tape fast-forward 
it to 601 seconds (the timer will stop on it). Play it. If you 
hear a bell chime and a parrot talking you've got the right part. 
It seems Yuan has Yuanda Zhu's associate who knows where he is.

- Head for Thousand White Qr and you'll have a scene with a blind 
street musician. Choose the right option to listen to his song, 
then he'll tell you that he's heard a bell like the one on the tape 
in the Moon Child Building.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ There are various ways to track down Yuan as many people in      ~
~ Kowloon know something about her. You can simply follow the      ~
~ guide below, or you can ask about her in Thousand White Building ~
~ at the knife shop (Yuan collects knives). If you want to         ~
~ experiment and see if you can find her.                          ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Go to Stand Qr and into the Moon Child Building.

- Go to the right of the entrance and talk to the woman on the 
food stall about a bell. She's heard one at the orphanage on 8F.

- Take the elevator to 8F and talk to the girl in red outside the 
orphanage. There's a boy called Hongji who might know who Yuan is.

- Go inside and talk to Ren, then talk to the boy standing on the 
chair. This is Hongji. He knows that Yuan has a talking bird. After 
you give him the Afterburner toy as a bribe ask the bottom option 
he'll tell you that his teacher might know.

- Talk to the teacher again after the cut-scene.

- Take the elevator down to 1F and talk to the food stall woman 
again. There are a lot of stalls that sell birds in 3 Birds Building.

- Go to Dimsum Qr and into 3 Birds Building. Go up to 6F.

- Ask any of the store owners and they'll tell you to go to 9 Birds 
Shop on the roof.

- Go up to the roof and talk to the owner of 9 Birds Shop. Yuan buys 
birdfeed from him every evening. Choose to pass the time until 7pm.

- After the cut-scene you'll be behind Yuan. Stay behind her but 
follow her to the end of the corridor and round.

- Take the elevator after her to 1F. Be careful when she reaches the 
front door as she'll look behind herself so keep your distance. Stay 
behind her through Dimsum Qr and Thousand White Qr until you reach 
Thousand White Building.

- Inside there will be a cut-scene at the knife shop. When Ryo steps 
out from behind the wall be ready for a quick QTE (press left).

- Follow her to Cafe Anna, then onto Stand Qr.

- After a cut-scene Yuan will go into the Moon Child Building. 
Follow her but when she starts heading towards your hiding place 
you'll have to press down, Y in a command QTE to avoid being seen.

- Take the elevator up to 4F.

- Follow Yuan to her room (there's no way you can miss it). Ryo 
and Ren will toss a coin to see who knocks on the door. You'll lose 
and when she opens the door and sees you you'll have to press left, 
right, A in a command QTE.

- Inside go behind the left screen to find Zhang, Zhu's associate 
tied up. Before you can do anything, you'll hear some familiar 
thunderous footsteps...

- Ren will tell the bird to say that you're in the closet, then 
he'll jump behind the couch. You should hide behind one of the 
screens.

- When Don Nui looks in the closet Ren will shout and you'll have 
to press up, A in a command QTE to knock him in. You'll then have 
to press right in a QTE to seal him in with the drawers.

- The next day at Ren's hideout Zhang will give you a special 
stick featuring a Snake Tortoise, one of the mythical Four Divine 
Beasts and tell you that Yuanda Zhu is hiding on 10F of the Ghost 
Hall Building.

- Go to Thousand White Qr and turn left past the big warehouse 
doors. Straight ahead is Ghost Hall Building (when you enter 
you'll understand the name). You've got to get all the way to 
the 10th floor.

- Take the elevator to 3F.

- Take the stairs up to 4F.

- You'll have to cross the planks but as you cross them Ryo will 
lose his balance so you'll have to press directions on the D-pad 
to avoid falling to your death. The game won't end but you'll have 
to restart the whole section. On the first one you'll have to press 
left, right, left. On the second you'll have to press left, left, 
right. Save when you make it across.

[NOTE: Sometimes if you go too close to an edge Ryo will lose his 
balance meaning that you have to press a direction to avoid falling]

- Take the stairs up to 7F. On the first set of planks press right, 
left, right, down. On the second press left, left, up, right.

- Takes the stairs up to 8F and cross the planks. The combination 
for the first one is left, right, down, left, left. For the second 
it is right, right, left, up, left.

- Continue on up to 10F. I'd save here because you don't want to go 
through all that again. The combination on the first one is down, 
right, up, left, right. Make sure to save when you make it to the 
halfway point.

- On the final plank you'll have to press right as soon as Ryo 
jumps. The combination for the rest of it is left, right, right, 
down, up.

- At the end you'll meet up with Ren. He called in a favour and got 
the key to the elevator >:(

- Enter the Five Star Corp.

- Go to the front desk and look in the right drawer to find a diagram 
of the Four Divine Beasts.

- Go to the cabinet with the Buddha in it and open the hatch. Inside 
is a Hazuki gi which may have belonged to Iwao and the Tiger stick.

- Between the statue of the Buddha and the window there is a unit 
of shelves with a big blue pot on it. Pick up the pot to find the 
Phoenix stick.

- For the fourth and final Divine Beast stick look behind the 'Eight 
Principles of Yin and Yang' calligraphy on the wall behind the desk 
(just like the dojo back home). You'll find the Blue Dragon stick 
behind it.

- Go to the Buddha and using the instructions that you found in the 
drawer arrange the sticks (it turns out that the stick are keys) in 
the corresponding holes in his face. This will open a secret room.

- Inside you'll finally find Yuanda Zhu. No sooner has Ryo 
introduced himself as the son of Iwao Hazuki, the party is crashed 
by Don Nui and his cronies - you were followed! Ren will escape 
through the window and Don Nui will throw you out. Luckily you land 
on your feet thanks to a convieniently-placed awning below.

- You'll have to free-battle 4 thugs but once you've defeated a 
couple of them Don Nui will join the battle. You can't hit him and 
after a while the screen will begin to fade. Just avoid him until 
this happens. He'll send Ryo flying but someone comes to help - it's 
Xiuying!!

- You'll wake up in the White Thousand Convent with Xiuying and a 
nun. The convent is the place where Xiuying and Ziming were raised. 
When you go out Wong will be waiting to take you back to Ren's 
hideout. There will be a cut-scene - the Yellow Head were looking 
for Zhu on the orders of the Chiyoumen and he has been taken to 
the Yellow Head Building, Don Nui's hideout, to be handed over to 
Lan Di himself!

- Go to the Yellow Head Building - it's the big building that 
Thousand White Qr, Dimsum Qr, and Stand Qr encircle. You'll be 
stopped when you try and enter.

- Walk around the building trying to enter every door (there's one 
each in Thousand White Qr, Dimsum Qr, and Stand Qr). Ren will appear 
at the last one.

- Go to Dimsum Qr and into Nihao Tea. There will be some cups to 
arrange - make Yuanda Zhu's Chawan Sign. You'll get a note from 
Zhang that tells you to go to room 503 of the Moon Child Building.

- Go to Moon Child Building, up to 5F, and into room 503. Spar with 
the man, but you won't be able to hit him. When the room goes pitch 
black, wait for him to lunge in and press the D-pad towards him and 
X to learn a new special move: Predictive Explosion.

- The man turns out to be the blind Chinese violin player, who 
actually isn't blind. He knew Ryo's father who was there 20 years 
previously and is upset to hear of his death. He knows a way to 
get into the Yellow Head Building, and gives you a picture of a 
Yellow Head scout who can get you in if you impress him by winning 
street fights.

- Follow the path to Star Gazing Point (look for the sign). Fight 
Zhouhong Kong and win - wait for him to attack, then sidestep 
into his blind spot on his left where his eyepatch is, then use 
Ryo's 3-kick combo (A, A, A). The scout will leave.

- Still in Stand Qr, look for Small Dragon Garden. Go inside.

- Fight Whenyuan Ma, a master of the Passive Raid Style. To win you 
only have to hit him once in 30 seconds. To do this wait for him to 
attack, then attack before he hits you. The scout will leave again.

- Go to the street fight in Thousand White Qr and fight Enjiang 
Zhou, the acrobat master. The move from room 503 will come in handy 
now - look near your energy bar and press B when you see it appear. 
You'll catch him and he'll be beaten.

- The scout will tell you to meet him on Dragon Street at 7pm. 
Choose the left option to warp to Dragon St and then left again to 
pass the time until 7pm.

- Walk down Dragon Street towards Ren's hideout. You'll be stopped 
by the scout and he'll give you three photos of some major street 
fighters.

- Go back to the Enjiang Zhou street fight and show the topless 
guy in the green pants all three photos. He tells you their names: 
Rod Stunt, Greg More, and Chunyan.

- Go to Tea Break Building through Nihao Tea and talk to the 
wrestler-guy guarding the door. You need HK$500 to get in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ If you need HK$500 there are several ways to do it. The first way ~
~ that is quite slow is to fight the first street fighter in Star   ~
~ Gazing Point (win up to HK$50 a time). A second, much faster way  ~
~ is to find somewhere to play the dice game (go to the start of    ~
~ Dragon Street to find one) - save before and bet the maximum,     ~
~ reloading your game if you lose. You can get HK$200 a time at     ~
~ this. Your final option is to go to the warehouses in Thousand    ~
~ White Qr (with the security guard outside) and work on the crate  ~
~ carrying job like the one from Fortune's Pier. You should be able ~
~ to get at least HK$50 here.                                       ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- When you have the money pay the wrestler. He'll let you into 
Phoenix Building.

- On this floor you can play Afterburner (finally!) if you want to.

- Take the stairs to 4F, then the elevator to B1F. Go down the 
stairs to the street fight and fight Rod Stunt. You'll have to 
win 2 rounds (out of 3) by either depleting his energy or getting 
a ring out. It's hard but the Counter Elbow Assault (back+X+A) will 
be useful in this and all the street fights. You'll get HK$1000 for 
winning.

- Take the HK$1000 to the Blue Dragon Garden (next to Small Dragon 
Garden). Pay HK$1000 entry.

- You'll have a scene with Ren. He tricks you into fighting so he 
can bet on the fight.

- Beat the wrestler, Greg More, twice to win HK$2000. A continual 
flurry of punches and kicks interspersed with the Counter Elbow 
Assault seems to work well against him.

- Go to the Black Heaven Building and take the elevator to 11F, 
then the stairs to 12F.

- Go through the gate opposite the elevator and pay the guy at the 
top of the stairs HK$2000. Go down and fight Chunyan, a master of 
Jeet Kune Do. This looks more dangerous than the others!

- Keep attacking, but before you can deliver the final blow a 
command QTE will happen. The combination is left, B. You'll win 
HK$3000.

- At the top of the stairs the scout will tell you to meet him 
at Dragon Street again. Warp there and pass the time again.

- He'll give you a map of B2F of the Thousand White Building. 
There will be a cut-scene in Ren's hideout. The next day Cool Z 
will wake you up - you can pass the whole day by pressing left 
unless you want to gamble or play Afterburner.

- The next day, head for Thousand White Building. Take the stairs 
to 3F, then the elevator to B1F. Follow the map to the stairs at 
the other end down to B2F and go through the metal door into the 
Underground.

- Pass the time until noon to meet the scout who is going to take 
you to see some Yellow Head executives. Ren will knock him out 
before he can do anything. Go through the sewer. There's only one 
possible route.

- When you reach the gate Wong will unlock it and give you a map 
of the Yellow Head Building from Zhang, and tells you that Zhang 
discovered that Yuanda Zhu is being held on 17F.

- Go up the steps and go straight ahead to the elevators. They're 
locked.

- Turn back and go up the stairs. Only go through the orange door 
if you want a beating at the hands of Don Nui (the 'executive').

- Inside the Yellow Head Building follow the route around until 
you find some usable stairs to 2F. Go up. Follow the same route in 
reverse for 2F.

- On 3F you'll have your first encounter with a guard. A couple of 
corners later you'll have to press down, B in a command QTE. On the 
last corner before the elevator you'll have to press right, B, A in 
a command QTE.

- There will be some more command QTEs on 4F. The combinations are: 
1. A, up, A 
2. A, left, X 
3. X, right, right, X

- On 5F take a left through the crate room. There will be a cut-
scene. Ryo and Ren will toss a coin to see who administers the 
beating. You'll lose so you'll have to free-battle them.

- On 6F follow what Ren does when the light flickers off. If you 
fail you'll have to free-battle all the thugs. You'll have to do 
this another three times in different rooms until you reach the 
stairs to 7F.

- On 7F cut through the big room for a short scene and a note. 
Try all the different routes to possible staircases. When you try 
the third one a radio message will tell the thugs that you're on 
another floor. Take the stairs up to 8F.

- Go straight up the steps to the left to 9F.

- On 9F you'll have a series of command QTEs (CQTEs for short) 
to hinder your pursuers. The combinations are:
 1. up, A
 2. right, A
 3. left, up, A
 4. down, up, A

- On 10F simply go straight through the big room and up the 
stairs.

- Turn left and take the stairs straight up to 12F.

- You'll now have a cross a plank to the other side as in the 
Ghost Hall Building. The combination is left, up, down, right, 
left. When Ryo and Ren split up go left and get into a fight 
QTE. It only uses the A, B, X, and Y buttons so it's nothing 
too difficult. You'll have an CQTE after this in which you'll 
have to press up, A. Ren will then rejoin you.

- On 13F follow the building round until you find the second 
way into the big room. As you go to cross the plank you'll 
hear Don Nui approaching - 13 obviously is an unlucky number.

- Cross the plank (QTE: left, down, right, down, down, left, 
up) and Ren will remove it, stranding Don Nui - for now...

- On 14F you'll suddenly be chased by Yuan who is wielding a 
chainsaw. You'll have a chase QTE interspersed with short 
fighting QTEs. When given the option of left or right go 
right to follow Ren. At the end press up, A in a CQTE to 
stop Yuan.

- On 15F Don Nui will chase you again in a chase QTE. If you 
miss any he will catch up at the end and you'll have to press 
down, Y in a CQTE. If you miss it you may or may not fall 
through the floor and have to free-battle 2 thugs. Regardless 
of what happens Ryo will automatically catch up with Ren.

- On 16F Yuan will chase you again. You'll have 2 CQTEs to 
escape:
1. right, A
2. left, X

- Unfortunately she catches up with you on 17F. If you want to 
see Ryo meet a grisly death at the hands of a chainsaw (you 
sadist) don't press anything but otherwise you'll have to press 
down, up in a QTE closely followed by down, A, in a CQTE.

- After the elevator scene Ren will give you the radio and let 
you go while he takes care of the thugs.

- On 18F head for the row of three elevators. You'll hear over 
the radio that you have 6 minutes before the guards make their 
rounds and find you. On the wall with three elevators in a row 
go into the far door. Inside will be some thugs and one black-
suited guard. Free-battle all of them, then go to the cabinet 
on the wall and take all the keys.

- Go back outside to the elevator control box between the room 
you were just in and the elevators. It's got a red light with 
'EV' on it. Look at the Roman numeral on it and use whichever 
key corresponds to it (the numeral should be IX, so use key 9). 
For those who don't understand Roman numerals use the following 
guide:
  I    = 1
  II   = 2
  III  = 3
  IV   = 4
  V    = 5
  VI   = 6
  VII  = 7
  VIII = 8
  IX   = 9
  X    = 10
These can be added to make higher numbers. i.e. XXVI = 26

- Open the control box and turn on the far elevator. Go and 
call it. You'll have to free-battle a crowd of suits.

- Defeat them and take the elevator to B1F. You'll be behind 
the locked metal fencing from the sewer. Go and use the keys 
on the control box to activate the nearest elevator to you. 
Take the elevator to down to B3F.

- There's a kabuki guy in a cage fight below. The guards 
outside the cage have Joy tied up! Fight the guy. He's Baihu, 
a Tiger Swallow Master.
