1. INTRODUCTION
*******************************************************************************

Hello, and welcome to my FAQ for Beyond Good & Evil, the version for the 
Nintendo GameCube.  In this fantastic game from UbiSoft, you take control of 
photographer-for-hire, Jade, on the planet Hillys, as she uses her 
investigative integrity to root out the conspiracy and corruption that's 
plaguing Hillys.  Through camera-work, sneaking around, and kick-butt martial 
arts, you'll discover the secret of all of Hillys' problems.

*******************************************************************************
2. FAQ
*******************************************************************************

Q: What is Beyond Good & Evil?

A: This game is a new story-driven action game from UbiSoft.

Q: How many Memory Card blocks does this game require?

A: The back of the box says 20 blocks.  However, most of your pictures are 
saved throughout the game, and these have to be stored in your Card, which 
takes up a lot of blocks.  At the end of the game, with no extra pictures in 
my photo album, but all other necessary and secondary pictures taken, I 
ended up with 55 blocks taken up, and that was with just one of the three 
save files used.

Q: What is the rating of this game?

A: This game has been rated T by the ESRB for Violence and Comic Mischief.

Q: Can you give me a four-digit code for this locked door?

A: Unfortunately, no.  The four-digit codes are different every single time 
you play the game.

Q: What's the deal with Carlson & Peeters?

A: It's the Hillyan army's code of operation, its Bible, if you will...

Q: What happens if I run out of energy?

A: If you or one of your teammates die at all, you'll be replaced not too 
far back in the area you died in, with half your full complement of hearts.  
You won't need to worry about saving to preserve having to stay alive.

Q: I have all the animals on Hillys yet I'm still short one!  Where is it?

A: In space.

Q: How do I get MDisk #13?

A: You have to go online at beyondgoodandevil.com.  Go to "The Darkroom" and 
register.  From there, you can use your Internet Code as listed in your 
save file.  Go to the mini-walkthrough I have at the bottom of this guide.

Q: I swear I'm entering this code right!  What could be wrong?

A: All the symbols are pretty cut and dry, save one.  The "H" in this game 
has two horizontal lines.  It makes it look cooler, but it also makes it 
look a lot like an "M".  If your code doesn't work, check for anything that 
looks like an "M" and see if it's actually an "H"...

*******************************************************************************
3. BASICS
*******************************************************************************
==============
3A. Controls =
==============

Jade Controls:

Control Stick: Moves Jade in any direction with respect to the game's camera.  
 Titling the stick further will cause her to move faster, up to a slow jog.
A Button: Main action button.  Will perform whatever tasked shown under its 
 icon in the upper-left corner of the main screen.  Actions include, but are 
 not limited to, swinging your Daļ-jo in combat, pushing buttons, activating 
 vending machines, kicking consoles, and talking to other characters.
B Button: Evasive manuever.  Without her Daļ-jo in hand, Jade will perform a 
 diving roll that can get her over most low obstacles.
X Button: Use Item.  In the upper-left corner of the main screen is your 
 currently selected inventory item.  Pressing X will use that item, if there's 
 a word next to it describing what you'll do with it (for instance, "Eat" 
 next to a "Starkos" when you're injured, or "Put" next to an MDisk when 
 you're near a player).
Y Button: Companion action button.  In the upper-right corner of the main 
 screen is the Y Button icon.  Pressing this will let your teammate perform 
 whatever task is shown on that icon.  In battle, this can be an attack that 
 will damage or stun your enemies.  When not in battle, this can use your 
 teammate to press switches for you.
L Button: Crouch.  Use this to present a smaller profile and make yourself 
 less likely to be seen.  You can walk around like this, as well as roll to 
 quickly get under low obstacles.
R Button: Run.  Hold down this while moving to run at a sprint.
Z Button: Look Mode.  After pressing Z, use the Control Stick to look around.  
 If you have your camera, you may use the C-Stick to zoom in and out, and the 
 A Button to take a photo.  If you have a projectile weapon, press X to fire 
 it from this situation.
C Stick: Use this to control the game's camera around Jade.  Left and Right 
 rotates in those directions, and Up and Down pitches in those directions.
Control Pad: Left or Right on the pad will allow you scroll through your 
 inventory.
START Button: Pauses the game and brings up the Pause Menu.

---

Vehicle Controls

Control Stick: Moves your vehicle in any direction.
A Button: Fires your blaster weapon, or docks your vehicle, if it's near a 
 suitable location.
B Button: Activates Jump Jets once you purchase them.
X Button: Use Item, just like with Jade.  There are special items specific to 
 your vehicles.
Y Button: Enters Compass Mode.  You'll get a view from inside your craft, and 
 you'll also see a compass on the bottom of the screen.  Certain landmarks 
 are programmed into your compass and will point you in their directions.
L Button: Applies the brakes to your craft.
R Button: Applies acceleration to your craft.
Z Button: Look Mode, same as with Jade.
C Stick: Controls the camera, same as with Jade.
Control Pad: Scrolls through your inventory, same as with Jade.
START Button: Pauses the game and brings up the Pause Menu.

====================
3B. Menus/Displays =
====================

After you fire up the game, you'll immediately get the language option.  In 
the American version of this game, the options are English and Spanish.  If 
you make a mistake and select the wrong language, you have to Reset the game 
to fix it.

---

Start Menu

New Game: Begin a game from the start.
Load Game: Check your Memory Card for saved games.
Options: Brings up the Options Menu.
Credits: See the people who made the game.

---

Options Menu

In this menu, use the Control Stick to move the cursor, and the X Button to 
change the option.  Press A to accept the changes and exit, or B to decline 
the changes.

Rumble: Toggle the controller's rumble on or off
Volume: Use the Control Stick to adjust the game's volume.
Subtitles: Toggle the voice subtitles on or off.  I find this useful when 
 picking up on stuff that might have been missed with voice overlap.
Mode: Switch the sound between Mono, Stereo, and Surround.

---

In-Game Display

In the upper-left corner of the screen is Jade's status, or the status of the 
vehicle she's currently piloting.  Coming out horizontally from the portrait 
is either Jade's current and maximum life (represented by hearts), or the 
vehicle's current and maximum hull strength (represented by wrenches).  Below 
the portrait are A and X button icons, and words depicting what they will do 
in the current situation.

In the upper-right corner is your teammate's status, also represented by 
hearts.  If your teammate goes down, it's game over.  Below the teammate's 
portrait is a Y button icon, depicting what action he can perform.

---

Pause Menu

This is an odd menu to operate.  In order to select something, you need to 
hold down the Control Stick in the direction of the object on the circular 
panel, and select with A, or get info on it with X.  Pressing B bumps you back 
a page, and pressing START drops you out of Pause.

In the center of the screen is Jade's status (or the status of the vehicle 
you're currently piloting).

In the upper-left portion of the circle are your current characters and 
vehicles.  Pressing A while pointing to one will bring up their status and 
inventory.  If you're too far away from a character or vehicle, you won't be 
able to connect.

In the right half portion of the circle is that character/vehicle's inventory.  
You can get info on most items here.  Pressing A on anyone's SAC will open 
it up and give you access to their stored items.  Pressing A on Jade's camera 
will open up her album, where you can view old pictures taken.  Pressing A on 
food items or PA-1's will "pick them up", whereby you can move them over to a 
character and press A.  Moving them to the character who's carrying the item 
will automatically make them use it.  Moving them to another character will 
give them that item for storage.

In the lower-left portion of the circle are the functions.  The first function 
is viewing your e-mails you've received over the course of the game (when you 
get mail, you'll get an automatic alert to press START to read it).  The 
second function is your objectives and maps (more on that in a moment).  The 
third function is the Options Menu, the same one available at the main menu.

---

Objectives & Maps Screen

From this screen you can view the map for the current area.  Use the C Stick 
to switch to different floors, and Z Button to zoom in.  While zoomed, you 
can move the stick around to view the floor more closely.

On the left side are your objectives and detectors.  If you have any specific 
objectives, highlight them with the Control Stick to see where they are on the 
map (represented by red exclamation points).  Press A to view a few more 
details about them.  As for detectors, highlight the detector to see where 
they are on the map (don't forget checking different floors with the C Stick), 
and press A while highlighted to see how many of the object are in the area, 
and how many on the current floor.  You must buy Animal and Pearl Detectors 
from Ming-Tzu before you can use them, but you always have an MDisk Reader 
detector.

*******************************************************************************
4. HILLYS: PLANET ON THE GO
*******************************************************************************

The vast majority of the game takes place on the planet Hillys.  While a 
well-settled planet, with a well-established government, Hillys is still 
largely untamed.  With the constant attacks from the mysterious and malicious 
alien species, the DomZ, Hillyans really aren't in the mood to explore much.

Hillys is largely a water planet, so the earliest settlers learned to develop 
aquatic craft quickly, which became the primary mode of travel for those too 
poor to afford flight craft.

Before the DomZ attack, Hillys maintained a good standing army, which were 
quite overwhelmed when the DomZ struck.  Shortly thereafter, General Kehck 
formed the Alpha Section special forces unit, specifically designed to counter 
the threat.  They routinely report advancements against the threat, despite 
the increase in attacks lately.

==================================
4A. Jade: Freelance Photographer =
==================================

Raised by her "uncle" Pey'j, Jade is quite the lady.  Inquisitive, yet not 
intrusive.  Witty, yet not wise-cracking.  Sexy, yet not trampy.  Fierce in 
battle, yet a lamb around her "kids".  Jade is the perfect heroine role-model, 
and the star of this story.

Unlike many beings on Hillys, Jade and Pey'j chose to live outside the city 
and took up residence in a lighthouse some distance away.  There, they 
maintain a modest orphanage, where they look after kids who were left with 
no one after the DomZ took their parents.

To pay the bills, Jade has put her inquisitive nature into photography, and 
operates as a freelance.  To keep herself in good condition, she routinely 
practices martial arts, and is deadly with her weapon of choice, the Daļ-jo.

She'll require those and many skills in this adventure, which will turn her 
very world upside-down.

---

Movements

Basic controls are described in their section above.  Getting around in this 
game is pretty simple.  If there's a gap in your path, simply running up to 
it will automatically make you jump towards the opposite end.  Even if the 
other ledge is a few feet higher, you can usually grab onto the opposite 
ledge with no problem.

Sometimes your exploits will take you to places that are veritable obstacle 
courses.  For those, you can utilize your B Button evasive manuevers.  A 
normal tap of B can vault you over any low-standing obstacles, while crouching 
using L can get you under any that are shoulder-height.  Also, you can use B
while crouching to roll low and get through high obstacles quickly.

Jade can also edge herself along thin ledges and through tight squeezes if 
necessary.  This is done automatically, and there isn't any risk of falling.

---

Interaction

Most interaction is done through switches, which are marked rather obviously 
with a hand-print.  These will tend to do something good, so always be on a 
look-out for them.  There are, however, some special switches, that will only 
operate with the proper key.  Usually, you'll find the key in the same area 
that you found the locked switch.

There are also a few situations that will require you to push objects around.  
Simply move into them to start pushing.  These can give you footholds when 
you need them or uncover secrets.

In addition to switches that require keys, there are also those that require 
four-character code.  Activating them will access a code menu, where you can 
input any of the 26 English letters or ten numerals.  There is never any 
guesswork involved.  In some situations, you can find the code to a door in 
a hidden place.  In others (specifically in dangerous areas), the codes are 
represented in a barcode format.  Take a picture of these and mail them to 
the Governor of Hillys, who, if you've done what she asked beforehand, will 
get her team of hackers on the case to get you the proper code.

---

Combat

This will be one of the first things you'll have to do.  Combat in this 
game is relatively simple.  You will only pull out your Daļ-jo when faced 
with enemies.  Press A and hold the Control Stick to attack in that direction.  
Press B to quickly dodge in the direction you're holding the stick.  
Experiment with your A Button and Control Stick combinations to attack 
multiple enemies or with different manuevers.  It's all pretty basic, so 
there's no need to fuss with specifics.

Holding down A while not moving will result in Jade charging her Daļ-jo.  
Releasing A once fully-charged will send her into a vertical spinning move 
that can discourage all around you.  In addition, there is an upgrade 
available in Ming-Tzu's shop which can power-up your attack.  Once in the 
air, rapidly press A to launch a barrage of energy shots at your foes.

Also, once you find the Gyrodisk Launcher, ranged combat is added to your 
capabilities.  Go into Look mode with Z, take careful aim, and press X to fire 
your small, yet painful, disks at your enemies.  These can also be used to 
activate switches from long-range.

There's one last staff technique.  When you use your teammate's floor slam 
attack, enemies may get popped up into the air.  When that happens, press A 
next to an enemy to enter Targeting Mode, which creates a circle in front of 
you.  Use the Control Stick to aim and press A again to knock your enemy for 
a loop, preferably into something.

---

Camera

Once you pick up your Camera in the beginning of the game, the world of 
futuristic photography is open to you.  Press Z to bring up your Camera.  
Use the Control Stick to look around through the lens, and the C Stick to 
zoom in and out.  Press A to take a photo.

When looking through your lens, you may see circles pop up.  These represent 
things you can get information on through your camera.  The circles will start 
out red, then turn green when a good shot is possible.  To make a good shot, 
you need to be zoomed close enough your object so that it's entirely in your 
view, and so that it fills as much of the frame as possible.

There are three major objects you can focus on with your Camera:

1) Animals.  Your first assignment is to take inventory of all wildlife on 
Hillys.  Take a picture of any critter, sentient or non-sentient, friendly 
or predatory, docile or vicious.  When you do so, you'll send them to the 
Science Center automatically, and receive pay for those pictures.  This is 
your major source of income in the game.  Also, for every group of eight 
animals you capture, you'll get a present.  Your first present is a valuable 
Digital Zoom, which allows you to assume a lot closer to your subjects.  After 
that, you'll get a Pearl for every eight animals, until the last eight, which 
will net you an MDisk with all animals documented.

2) Objectives.  As you get assignments, you'll have to get pictures of a 
specific subject.  These operate just like animals as far as the circle from 
red to green goes.  Once you get these pictures, you'll automatically e-mail 
them to your contact.

3) Maps.  In certain unknown areas, you can find maps on the wall.  Take a 
picture of these and you'll convert them into a full map of the area.

In addition, you can also focus on many inconsequential items.  You can use 
this if you're trying to look for out-of-the-way switches, or other things 
sensitive to interaction.  You'll only get small dim circles to indicate 
their location, as taking a photo isn't necessary at all.

---

Stealth

Your exploits will take you to a few sensitive and occupied areas, which can 
prove to be very dangerous.  You'll know you've entered one of these areas 
when Jade, instead of her usual standing around, will be in a hunched over 
"alert" position.

The basic idea of these areas is "don't be seen".  The best way to do this is 
crouch by holding L and moving around that way.  You'll have a low profile, 
and will also move silently.

The only thing that can spot you in these areas are your enemies in the Alpha 
Sections.  They face in one of the four major directions and have about a 90 
degree radius of view in front of them.  Some enemies stand perfectly still.  
Others rotate regularly in place.  Still others have patrol routes.  Normally, 
their visors will be green, when in passive mode.  When they spot something, 
they will walk towards what they saw and scan the area.  If they don't find 
anything, they'll resume what they were doing.

If they do find you, however, they'll go into Alert Mode.  You'll engage 
them in combat.  I describe Alpha Section Soldiers later on in the Enemies 
section as to how they fight, but suffice to say you'll have a challenge on 
your hands.  At this point, you have two options: run or fight.  If you 
choose to fight, you'll have to destroy all soldiers in the area before you 
can move on.  If you choose to run, you must find a spot where you can hide 
from them.  This proves tougher than it first seems, because Alert Mode will 
result in a lockdown of the immediate area.  In early sneaking areas, you'll 
have drainage pipes you can hide in, so that's available.

Sometimes, going into Alert Mode means instant death.  This happens when 
there are Turrets in the area.  These cannot see on their own, but, if you 
go into Alert Mode, they'll immediately fire a lethal bolt at the nearest 
threat, which is you.  Make sure you know the situation before launching on 
an attack.

There are also another option besides standard fighting.  The Soldiers all 
have a weak spot on their backs, in the form of their green breathing tanks.  
If you can get close and press A to kick them there, they'll be incapacitated 
as they struggle to breathe.  Another kick will destroy them.  This can also 
be done with the Gyrodisk Launcher.  Beware, though, as other soldiers will 
notice their comrades having trouble and will come to their aid.

=================================
4B. A Tourist's Guide to Hillys =
=================================

The following section details several facts about locations on Hillys, as 
well as several miscellaneous facts.

---

Currency

The currency of Hillys is Materia, a valuable mineral mined out of the ground.  
Most citizens (Jade included) have an Easy Unit Card connected with the Bank 
of Hillys that keeps tabs on how much money they have.  Shopping is a simple 
matter of presenting your card to the vendor, or to the vending machine you're 
using, then selecting what you wish to be.

There are several means with which to acquire more Materia.  Your primary 
method is by photographing animals.  Each animal is worth a different amount 
of cash, from 100 to 3000.  Unfortunately, these are all only one-shot deals.

Other methods include defeating enemies, smashing up shiny blue rocks (pure 
deposits of Materia), winning bets in games, smashing up floating boxes in 
the ocean, or kicking open boxes that have crystals in them.  Bottom line is 
to never overlook opportunities to get more.  All Crystals are worth 5 Units.

There's also a secondary currency of Hillys, in the form of Pearls.  These 
perfectly round gems are exceedingly valuable, and there are only 88 of them 
available to you in the game.  You use these Pearls to purchase special 
vehicle-related items at Mammago's Garage.

---

MDisk Readers

There are many Readers situated throughout Hillys.  You'll need to use these 
to scan the several MDisks you'll find throughout your adventure, including 
the most important one you start your adventure with: Game Save.  Be sure to 
save your game at Readers when you want to stop the game.  Don't worry about 
saving before dangerous areas, as dying will just put you back a room or two, 
or back to the beginning of your combat.

---

Home (The Lighthouse)

Jade and her uncle Pey'j's place of residence is an old lighthouse converted 
into living space.  It's here that she takes care of any kids that become 
orphaned due to the DomZ attacks.  Like all structures in populated Hillys, 
it has its own shielding system.  The actual lighthouse has most of the living 
space, while a cavern below has been converted into Pey'j's workshop and the 
hangar for their hovercraft.

---

Mammago's Garage

Yo mon!  If you mama don't go, you go to Mammago's!  This independently-run 
garage is the favored stop for anyone looking to repair or refurbish their 
vehicles.  You can purchase repair PODs for your craft here, as well as Meca 
Impulsers to make them stronger with your Materia.  However, to purchase new 
parts for your craft, you'll need to pay with Pearls.

---

The City

This is the place where most of the Hillyans live.  Access is through gates 
at the north and south end of the city.  From there, there are two main 
places to go.  You can go west to enter the first two of four city races, or 
you can go east to enter the Pedestrian District.  In the PedDis, you can find 
many different people and places:

Newsshop: For a small fee, you can receive all the news as it happens.
Nouri's Stand: Nouri sells several basic trinkets for your consumption at 
 his stand.
Akuda Bar: This is where all the seedy folk hang out.  Here you can play some 
 games of skill or chat with your friends.
Ming-Tzu's Shop: Ming-Tzu sells several unique and useful items in his shop 
 that could greatly benefit.  His prices don't come cheap, though.
Alpha Section HQ: The Alpha Section controls much of the PedDis.  With the 
 proper connections, you can sneak into some of their areas and reclaim things 
 that rightfully belong to the people.

---

Black Isle

This volcanic island housed one of the largest mines on Hillys, until it was 
abandoned.  This is the site of your first mission.

---

The Factory

This factory produces Nutripils, which feed the armies of Hillys.  It's also 
the site of your second mission.

---

The Slaughterhouse

The site of your third mission, this grim complex processes all the animal 
harvest on Hillys.  To detract from its gruesome nature (or maybe add to it), 
the third and fourth race courses on Hillys are held in this area.  This is 
the site of your third mission.

---

Other Points of Interest

Be sure to check your map for places your hovercraft can go (that don't 
have solid barrier lines).  You can find several caverns that could have 
booty in them.

Some of these caverns are home to Looters.  These villains steal some of your 
cash, then try to make off with it.  Chase them down to their lairs, then 
take them out to reclaim your money, as well as maybe something more.

========================
4C. Humorous Sidekicks =
========================

Your teammates are much like you.  They also have health meters made out of 
hearts.  Generally, they keep out of major trouble, so you don't always have 
to be looking out for them.  However, in the tension of combat, they can be 
overwhelmed just like you.  To that end, it's best to try to keep them alive 
by lending them food and PA-1's.

---

Pey'j

Your "uncle" Pey'j has been watching over you for twenty years, ever since you 
were separated from your parents.  This porcine being is a genius mechanic, 
and a good friend to have on your travels.  He starts with his own SAC, just 
like you, and later on, you'll be able to use his Jet-Boots and a Claw Hammer.  

His special attack is to jet up with his boots and slam down on the ground.  
You can use this to get around, or to stun the enemies in the area.  Once he 
gets the Claw Hammer, he can also open up wire grates for you.

---

Double H

You'll rescue this guy from trouble partway through the game, and he'll tag 
along for much of the rest of it.  Torture has left his mind scrambled, and 
since he was left in Army uniform and with the standard issue volume of 
Carlson-Peeters military code, he's got the notion of the oblivious army 
hero stuck in his head.

In combat, Double H can hold himself pretty well.  Instead of Pey'j's drop-
slam, Double H uses his T-Hammer to slam the ground.  Also, in his armor, he 
can bust down heavy steel bars.

===========================
4D. Incredible Technology =
===========================

You'll use many kooky and super-futuristic items in your quest.  Here are the 
more common items you'll use in your adventure that can be stored in the 
first item:

---

SAC

This portable U-Store-It is the future's answer to the question "How do you 
carry so much stuff?"  Your Synthetical Atomic Compressor will take any item 
and digitize it for later use.  While everyone in the game has their own 
basic work-horse SAC, Jade has one of those new-fangled ones with its own 
AI, named Secundo, who periodically provides insight on certain matters.

---

Starkos

Price: 150 Units
Effect: Eating this synthetic bread will restore one heart of health.

---

Hovercraft

Your heap isn't pretty, but it can carry you around the waterways, as well as 
hoist you up on a few beaches.  There are several parts required for it to 
be able to full explore the area.  You can buy them at Mammago's Garage.

Speedcraft Motor - 1 Pearl: This is a replacement for your old broken motor.  
 Using R, you can speed up.
Neutralizing Cannon - 5 Pearls: This powerful cannon will allow you lock-on 
 to three separate targets.  Hold down A to start locking-on, then release 
 to fire.  This can be used to take out targets above the water.
Jump Jets - 15 Pearls: These illegal modifications to your craft will allow 
 you to jump several feet into the air.  These can be used to bypass the 
 laser cordons surrounding the main area of Hillys.
