=================================
=Part One - Crusader: No Remorse=
=================================
(1-1)What is Crusader: No Remorse?
----------------------------------
Crusader:No Remorse is an excellant third-person action game
from Origin. In case you don't know what that means, you move your character
around the level, watching from above as he battles the enemies.
It features detailed SVGA graphics, and the clearest and most
realistic sound I've ever heard in a computer game. The wide variety of
weapons, enemies, gadgets, and levels allows for detailed strategy. In your
fights with the bad guys, you can duck, jump, roll, sidestep, and run.
(1-1-1)The story
----------------
It is the year 2195. The entire world is controlled by the World
Economic Consortium, a global network of corporations. It rules with an
iron hand, and all citizens must work for it and abide by its strict laws.
But there is a growing segment of the population that yearns for
freedom, to return to the good days of democracy. They are known as the
Resistance.
In the last several years, the Resistance has seriously stepped up
its assaults on the WEC, engaging in guerrila-style covert attacks. You are
its newest recruit, a defector from the highest ranks of the WEC's soldiers:
A Silencer, one of the deadliest soldiers alive on the globe. They killed
your buddies, opening your eyes to the rampant corruption and immorality
prevelant in the WEC.
There will be no pity... no mercy... and NO REMORSE.
(1-1-2)System requirements
--------------------------
Crusader: No Remorse has these system requirements:
486/DX2-66 Mhz
8 megabytes of RAM
2-speed CD-ROM drive
A local-bus video card(it can be VLB or PCI) that supports Super VGA 640x480
30 megabytes hard drive space
Crusader supports a Microsoft or 100% compatible mouse
Crusader supports Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster 16, and
100% compatible sound cards for sound and music
Only version 1.21 supports joysticks and Gravis Gamepads
For Gravis Ultrasound compatibility, you will need the file CRUSNDP.EXE
In addition to the above requirements, I recommend having a 4-speed
CD-ROM drive and 55 megabytes of free hard drive space. Crusader is not
compatible with Windows 95.
(1-1-3)How do I play?
---------------------
Gameplay is fairly straightforward: Walk through the level, watching
out for enemies, security cameras, wall guns, etc., and when you see any
of those things, you must find a way to either kill it or avoid it.
In between missions, you are at the rebel base. You can go to the
bar to talk with your fellow soldiers and buy weapons. Your quarters houses
healing machines, and a footlocker outside the bar holds weapons. Receive
your orders and check on your video-mail, and you're ready for the next level!

(2-2)The bad guys
-----------------
Key
---
Missions: The mission numbers that these enemies appear in
Hit Points: How many hit points these enemeies can have(minimum and maximum)
Weapons: Which weapons they will carry, and what shields they have
Deadliness: My view of how deadly they are
Fighting: Tips for killing them
NOTE: EVERYTHING HERE IS FOR LOOSE CANNON DIFFICULTY ONLY!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guard
Missions: 1-6
Hit Points: 20-35
Weapons: BA-40 or BA-41, no armor
Deadliness: Very Low
Description: A guy wearing a white helmet and black vest with the WEC logo
on it, black boots, and grey pants and shirt.
Fighting: In the beginning, ambush them to avoid injury. After you have a
shotgun and more clips, you can pretty much fight them without
fear of death or serious injury.
Soldier
Missions: 3-8
Hit Points: 110-130
Weapons: RP-32 or PA-31, Armor
Deadlines: Medium Low
Descriptions: A blue and white uniform, black boots.
Fighting: Not dangerous, but they are vicious and tenacious. Actually pretty
dangerous unless you have some heavier weapons than the pistol.
Special Forces
Missions: 5-12
Hit Points: 140-160
Weapons: RP-32 or PA-31, Ionic Shield
Deadliness: Medium
Descriptions: Completely concealed in a jet-black uniform with the WEC logo
on the chest.
Fighting: As long as your shield is still functioning, you won't have much
to worry about from these guys. If it isn't, you'll need to
dispatch them quickly.
Elite Forces
Missions: 8-15
Hit Points: 180-200
Weapons: PA-31 or AR-7, Ionic Shield
Deadliness: Dangerous(Deadly with AR-7)
Description: The uniform is still jet-black, but is more stream-lined, and
the WEC logo is more distinctive.
Fighting: These guys are typically hidden in some sniper position or
something, and armed heavily. Show no mercy: Waste them immediately
with a rocket or spider bomb.
Elite Forces II
Missions: 7-15
Hit Points: 100-125
Weapons: GL-303 or AR-7, Ionic Shield
Deadliness: Deadly
Fighting: They are only situated in sniper's nests, and never move. If you
can run by and hit them later with a spider bomb, do so.
Enforcer
Missions: 12-15
Hit Points: 180-240
Weapons: UV-9 or GL-303, Plasma Shield
Deadliness: Very Deadly
Description: Black and green uniform, black helmet, boots, and kneepads. WEC
logo on chest.
Fighting: Unless you have a Graviton shield, avoid direct combat with
Enforcers. Attack from behind or above at every oppurtunity.
Roaming Susan
Missions: All
Hit Points: 35-45
Weapons: BA-40 or BA-41, only takes 1/3 damage(except from explosions)
Deadliness: Low
Descriptions: Hard to describe... just a little gizmo that drives around and
shoots stuff.
Fighting: Not very deadly, but definitely annoying. A few BA-40 bullets will
kill them.
Android
Missions: 6-15
Hit Points: 200
Weapons: RP-31, PA-31, only takes 1/3 damage(except from explosions)
Deadliness: Medium
Descriptions: Just a human-looking robot.
Fighting: They shoot very fast, and vaporize your shields quickly. Destroy
with a GL-303 rocket.
Thermatron
Missions: 3-15
Hit Points: 250
Weapons: RP-31, SG-A1, only takes 1/3 damage(except from explosions)
Deadliness: Medium

Fighting: Shoots fairly quickly. Destroy them quickly with a GL-303 rocket.
Vetron
Missions: 7-15
Hit Points: 425-625(!)
Weapons: GL-303, PA-31, only takes 1/3 damage(except from explosions)
Deadliness: Very Deadly
Description: A jet-black metallic beast with twin rocket launchers. Very cool
looking.
Fighting: Screw annoying. These jokers are downright lethal. The best tactic
is to use a GL-303, AR-7, or UV-9... and even then you'll need
2 to 3 blasts.
Solartron
Missions: 10-15
Hit Points: 450-600
Weapons: UV-9, GL-303, only takes 1/3 damage(except from explosions).
Deadliness: Very Deadly
Description: Like a Vetron, but has a flat top and is painted a bright yellow.

in open combat. Retreat to a safe spot and ambush them.
Civilians
Missions: All
Hit Points: 5-30
Weapons: None
Deadliness: None
Descriptions: Hardhat workers, scientists, secretaries, and assistants
Fighting: Most civilians will surrender on sight, however, a few will have
the guts to sound a red alert and call for reinforcements. Kill
any civilian near an alarm panel. If you have absoloutely no
morals, you can kill civilians for their money.
Senators
Missions: Most
Hit Points: 25
Weapons: BA-40
Deadliness: Laughable
Description: A white male in a business suit.
Fighting: Kill all Senators, whether or not they are armed, for two
reasons: They take part in the global oppression of the populace,

Energy units: 10,000
Description: The best battery. With this you can walk around with a Graviton
shield and UV-9 for quite awhile without running out of
energy- and you get the maximum boost from energy cells with
this.
(2-4)General Hints
------------------
If you spot a robot in a booth, you can destroy the robot with some rockets
before it leaves the box.
You can "use" shootable switches instead of shooting them- save ammo!
If you're too close to a Vetron when it dies, the explosion will hurt or
kill you.
Most doors can be destroyed with enough explosions, but this will set off an
alarm! In fact, one level has an unopenable door which is intended merely
to trick you into tripping an alarm.
Shields only protect against bullets and lasers- nothing else.
Grating that looks darker than the rest is probably damaged and will not
support you(or the enemies, heh heh).
There is nearly always more than one way to solve a problem.
Sometimes Weasel has a "sale" and all items are free!
On the No Remorse difficulty, anything goes as far as what weapons the
enemies can have.
Level 1: Destroy the thermal coupler.
Level 2: Rescue the prisoners.
Level 3: Download plans for the Thermatron.
Level 4: Destroy the SORC computer.
Level 5: Download the plans for the Cypher chip.
Level 6: Kidnap Senator Everett Snell.
Level 7: Nuke the nerve gas.
Level 8: Rescue Prof. Willmar.
Level 9: Spy on a WEC meeting.
Level 10: Destroy Dr. Hoffman's prototype weapons.
Level 11: Download plans for the Vigilance Platform.
Level 12: Upload new target coordinates... for a nuclear bomb. >:)
Level 13: Rescue Col. Ely.
Level 14: Locate shuttle to Vigilance Platform.
Level 15: Assault on the Vigilance Platform.
(2-6)Mission Secrets
--------------------
These chapters are not just secrets in the game, but also useful
information about certain spots. Also, these are not even close to all the
secrets in the game, so keep looking!
(2-6-1)Mission One
------------------
Getting the shotgun: Hop onto the first teleporter that you come to(after
the bridge over the toxic goo). Now flip the wall
switch to deactivate the force field. In the next room
is a Bouncing Betty, and in the lower left corner is
a table with an SG-A1 and clip.
Getting the GL-303: After speaking with the informant, head into the
hallway on your left. Walk down the hallway and into
the room with the teleporter.
After teleporting, you will have to: kill the guards,
destroy the power generators, and then destroy the
turret. After that, flip the switch twice to reveal a
footlocker.
"Out of order": The machine gun on the wall is NOT out of order(you'll know
what I'm talking about when you see it).
Infinite enemies: In the room after the wall safe, there is a room with a
teleporter after it. Just outside the door to this room
is a mounted switch. Anytime you use this switch, the
door closes and a Guard warps into them. Flip the switch
again to open the door, then kill him and search the body.
Repeat until you have lots of stuff.
(2-6-2)Mission Two
------------------
E-shaped secret room: After Major Vargas leaves through the teleporter, go
back to the prisoner's cells. Go to the lower-left
cell and step into the lower-left corner. You should
be teleported to a hidden, E-shaped room. If you use
the computer, you'll get a nasty surprise!
(2-6-3)Mission Three
--------------------
Rocket launcher: In one of the rooms is a lift placed in the middle of a
vat of green slime. Before getting onto the lift, walk
around on the edge of the vat. Walk to the left side and
jump off onto the conveyer belt. There is a rocket
launcher in a footlocker.
Thermatron Production: There are two areas in this level where infinite
Thermatrons can come out, but you can shut down
production.
The first area is a door that opens and lets out the
Thermatrons. Run through the door before it closes
and shoot the generators. Also, go through the
conveyer belt for another secret.
The second area is the one after the bridge that goes
across the green slime. You have to go around behind
the conveyor belt, get on the belt, and destroy the
large generators.
(2-6-4)Mission Four
-------------------
The green slime room: One area of this level is a network of bridges
crisscrossing an enormous vat of green slime. If you
can jump down to the pipe spewing fire and twist the
valve on it, you will will lower the slime and be able
to enter a secret area.
(2-6-5)Mission Six
------------------
Teleporters: If there is a keypad near a teleporter, you will need to enter
a special access code before using the teleporter. The code
can be found in the nearest computer.
WEC logo: One room has a WEC logo as a sort of `welcome mat' into the next
room. Jump over the logo to avoid a puzzle.
Hidden Rooms: At the end of one hallway are some snack machines. Behind the
machines is a hidden switch. Flip it to open a hidden room.
Go into the hidden room and use the switch twice. Now use
the hidden switch in the lower left-hand corner. Use the
first switch again. In the new room, use the switch and then
the hidden switch in the lower-right hand corner.
(2-6-6)Mission Seven
--------------------
Mine field: Nearby the electrified mine field(which is also guarded by a
machine gun, can we say "overkill??":) there is a tank. Blow
it up to reveal a switch. Flip the switch and go back to the
first room. A door has been opened. The new room contains
androids and a switch to de-electrify the mine field.
Hidden door: One of the elevator lifts opens a door when it goes up. You can
jump back down to find a puzzle room with a footlocker and as
your reward.
Fake wall: After the lift mentioned above there are some stairs. The section
wall about halfway down the stairs is fake, you can jump through
it to some footlockers and healing and energy machines.
Force Bridge: One part of the level requires you to extend a force bridge
over a large pool of green slime. Run across the bridge. Use
the mounted switch to turn off the bridge, then run back across
while it turns off. Stop running on the last peice of the
bridge that is still on and let it turn off underneath you.
Take a few steps forward and you will teleport.
(2-6-7)Mission Eight
--------------------
The lifts: This a maddeningly frustrating puzzle. There are two lifts, and
two pressure plates. You can make the right most lift go up and
then put a detpac underneath it. Lower it down, and then run to
the lift from the pad.
Shield: After Willmar's untimely death, don't forget to grab the Graviton
shield.
(2-6-9)Mission Fifteen
----------------------
The traitor: Don't try to fight with the traitor. Just run past her, grab
the key, and open the escape pod. You should have three
energy cubes and a fusion battery to survive.
Android area: In the first room, ignore all the enemies and just dash for the
door. You will have much more energy and ammo to use later.
- Mission 9 is based on the floorplan of the Origin building.
- The EEOD of Mission 7 stands for "Easter Egg of Death".
- It is possible for an explosion to be powerful enough to knock off the
Silencer's helmet!(He falls on his face though) He has white skin and
blond hair.
- It is also possible for an explosion to be powerful enough to blow a
small chunk of floor through the air!(It won't actually create a hole
in the floor though)
- The Silencer can get "battle scars" like the ones on the box, but I have
no idea how this happens. I have only seen it happen once.
(3-2)Web sites
--------------
PC Gamer's web site(http://www.pcgamer.com) has a strategy guide for
Crusader: No Remorse.
Also check out Origin's web page(http://www.origin.ea.com).
(3-3)Troubleshooting
--------------------
Q. I'm at the Rebel Base, and when I try to warp to the next level, it
doesn't take me there, and the game hangs.
A. I don't know what causes this, but it is fixed in version 1.21. Hope you
have another saved game!
------------
Q. Every time I try to play, Crusader quits to DOS with an Out of Memory
error. What should I do?
A. You must have at least 6.7 megabytes of RAM free. The best solution is to
make a boot disk or use DOS's MEMMAKER command.
------------
Q. The videos are too slow.
A. Go to the Options menu and change "Video Large/Small" to Small.
------------
Q. Crusader runs too slow.
A. Go to the Options menu and change these settings:
Change Frame Skipping to On
Change Limit Blasts to On
Change Animations to Off
Change Digital Filtering to Off
Also, you can try re-installing Crusader: No Remorse with the
"Full Install" option. Be sure to back up any saved games first!
------------
Q. Crusader sometimes locks up.
A. You may have TSR(Terminate-and-Stay-Resident) programs loaded in memory
which are incompatible with Crusader. See Crusader's Install Guide for
more information.
------------
Q. Why does Crusader crash when I play it in Windows, OS/2, or Desqview?
A. Crusader requires memory which is often eaten up by these multi-tasking
environments. It is intended to be played directly from DOS, and is not
(as far as I know) compatible at all with Windows 95.
------------
Q. How come my mouse won't work with Crusader?
A. Your mouse driver may be out of date. Make sure it is at least Microsoft
Mouse Driver 8.2, Logitech 6.3, or 100% compatible.
------------
Q. I get a DOS error when installing Crusader.
A. This is due to having a disk cache loaded. You must disable it while
installing Crusader.
------------
Q. Crusader fails to load and generates an error code.
A. Refer to the error message that you are getting:
1. YOU MUST HAVE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF HARD DRIVE SPACE SPECIFIED FOR
FOR THE INSTALL OPTION YOU SELECTION. You don't have enough
hard drive space to save your game. Free up more by selecting
"Minimum Install" or deleting unneccesary files.
2. NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO RUN CRUSADER. You need more RAM free.
3. VESA DRIVER NOT FOUND. Your video driver is not VESA-compliant.
You must install a VESA driver. The Crusader CD comes with
UNIVBE, a universal VESA driver. To use it, go to the Crusader
directory and type UNIVBE.
4. DOS INTERRUPT ERROR. You have at least one TSR loaded in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT which is incompatible with Crusader. See the boot
disks chapter of Crusader's Install Guide for more info.
5. FATAL ERROR 286.1020. You have the NOEMS parameter in your CONFIG.
SYS file. Replace "NOEMS" with "RAM" in your SMARTDRIVE line.
See the question below if you are getting the "CDR-101" error.
-----------
Q. When I try to load Crusader, I get the error "CDR-101: NOT READY READING
DRIVE". What should I do?
A. Your Crusader CD is not in the drive, or is not being read properly. Check
the CD for dust, dirt, or scratches. If you need a new CD, call Origin
product support.
You ejected the CD when Crusader needed to read it.
You may also need to switch to the D: drive, type "dir" and the go back
to the C: drive and run Crusader.
Your CD-ROM driver may be outdated. Replace it with a newer one.
-----------
Q. I can't get my keyboard to work with Crusader.
A. Your keys might be re-mapped by software or by BIOS. Contact your
computer or keyboard manufacturer for more info.
-----------
Q. The game hangs at a black screen every time I run it.
A. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to have FILES=40 and BUFFERS=40.
-----------
Q. The sound in the intro skips.
A. You may be running with a disk cache or your system may not meet the
minimum requirements of the game. Disable the disk cache, and make sure
you meet the system requirements. The most likely problem is that your
video speed is too slow.
------------
Q. I am not getting any sound when I play the game.
A. You may have selected incorrect settings for your sound card during the
installation process, so make sure that they are correct(run INSTALL.EXE
in your Crusader directory). Also, check your speaker connections and
volume.
------------
Q. My machine hangs during the install program's Sound Test.
A. You may have A) an IRQ conflict, B) the wrong sound card selected or
C) an incorrect sound card setting.
------------
Q. The mouse pointer is stuck in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
A. Your mouse driver may not be a Microsoft compatible mouse driver. Find
one that is compatible.
------------
Q. When I try to load Crusader: No Remorse, I get an error message reading,
"CRUSADER requires at least 6.8 megs of RAM."
A. The game is detecting that you have less than 6.8 megs of XMS memory
available. You must use the "-x 43" command-line parameter.
------------
Q. When I try to install/play Crusader: No Remorse on my system, an error
message tells me I do not have enough disk space. I have more than
what is required- what can I do?
A. If you are running a disk compression utility such as Microsoft's
DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, you may need to free up more space to install
the game. In general, it is recommended that you not use disk compression
utilities with Crusader.
------------
Q. I am trying to install the game to C:\GAMES\CRUSADER and I get an error
message that says the game is unable to create the directory. What can
I do?
A. You need to make the "GAMES" directory first, using either Microsoft
Windows File Manager, or the DOS "MD" command to create the directory.
After you do this, Crusader should install correctly.
------------
Q. Whenever I exit Crusader: No Remorse and go into an application that
includes sound, I get some popping or crackling. What can I do to solve
this?
A. If this problem occurs, you may need to reboot your system after exiting
the game. It should work properly after that.
------------
Q. I have a Pentium 66 Mhz or higher system, and an NEC triple spin CD-ROM.
At random times during the movies, my system will lock up. What can I do?
A. This problem was encountered during our Hardware Lab testing of Crusader:
No Remorse. It was isolated to NEC 3X Internal(Triple Spin) CD-ROM
drives(Model #CDR-510) on Pentium 66 Mhz or faster systems. This model
may generate bad data reads from which the Crusader: No Remorse movies
cannot recover. This error does not affect normal gameplay -- only the
movies.
The only solution is to change the "flicpath" parameter in CRUSADER.CFG
to something else, like "flicpath=flicsx". This causes the game to skip
all movies and rendered cutscenes.
------------
Q. Whenever I try to install Crusader, the CD-ROM drive vibrates and the
install program hangs.
A. Press on the CD-ROM drive with your hands to prevent vibration, which
causes it to be unable to read the CD. Installation should work now.
------------
Q. I have gone through this chapter and still nothing works.
A. Contact Origin tech support with the error message written down. Also,
for Windows 95 troubleshooting, see the Troubleshooting chapter of the
section for Crusader: No Regret.

(1-1-2)The story
----------------
After you destroyed the Vigilance Platform, you floated in space
for two days before being picked by a WEC mining freighter headed for the
moon.
For decades, the WEC has had a mining colony, the Darkside Base,
on the moon for the purpose of mining Di-Cor, a radioactive substance which
has replaced all other forms of power supply on the Earth, making it the
most valuable substance in existence. They use slave labor made up of
political prisoners to mine the substance.
For almost as long as the WEC has had the base, the Resistance has
had a small, secret base, carefully hidden from watchful eyes. With the
arrival of the Silencer, the time is ready to strike.
(1-1-3)System requirements
--------------------------
Crusader: No Regret has these system requirements:
486/DX2-75 Mhz
8 megabytes of RAM
2-speed CD-ROM drive, 4-speed recommended
A local-bus video card(it can be VLB or PCI) that supports Super VGA 640x480

the level.
(2-2)The bad guys
-----------------
I have only included the new enemies in this chapter. For the rest,
see this same chapter in the Crusader: No Remorse section.
LMC Guard
Deadliness: Low
Weapons: RP-32, PA-21
Desc.: Sort of looks like an Enforcer.
Fighting: Only slightly more deadly than the guards of No Remorse.
Elite Guard
Deadliness: High
Weapons: UV-9, GL-303, LNR-81
Desc: Wears a red and gold suit, sunglasses.
Fighting: Two shotgun blasts at close range will drop one of these guys, but
it's safer to use a UV-9.
Also, the Senators are much more deadly now: They have PL-1s, BK-16s, and
EM-4s.
Robots
------
Avatron
Deadliness: Medium
Weapons: AC-88, PA-21
Desc.: A hulking green beast.
Fighting: Use a rocket launcher or UV-9, because they can drain your energy
quickly.
Cryotron
Deadliness: High
Weapons: BK-16
Desc.: A very strange looking, blue robot.
Fighting: Stay out of this things way if you don't have plenty of energy,
because it shoots fast.
Cametron
Deadliness: Low-Medium
Weapons: SG-A1?
Desc.: Can disguise itself by morphing into anything- a plant, a power
generator, etc.- and then morphing back. When unmorphed, it is
short and stocky, and a sort of a gray color.
Fighting: Pathetically easy to kill, because you get to see it morphing
very slowly. Two GL-303 rockets will kill it on Loose Cannon.
(2-3)Weapons and gadgets
------------------------
I have only included the new weapons and items in this chapter. For
the others, see this same chapter in the Crusader: No Remorse section.
Weapons
-------
BK-16 "Crystallizer"
# of shots/clip: 20
Desc.: Takes about two hits to freeze a Special Forces man, then one hit from
anything will shatter them.
LNR-81 "Liquifier"
# of shots/clip: 20
Desc.: The enemy vaporizes into green mist, leaving only a puddle behind.
XP-5 "Broiler"
Power drain: 140 per shot
Desc.: Causes the enemies to fall apart into bloody pieces. Takes three hits
to kill an Elite Forces man on Loose Cannon.
Gadgets
-------
Spider mine
Description: Very cool. Throw it forward, and it seeks out enemies to blow
up.
Disruptor
Description: Drop these on teleporters that are warping in enemies and enjoy
the show.
Mine detonator
Description: Another very cool item. Get near a group of mines, use the
detonator, and all of the mines will blow up.
Pocket betty
Description: Like a bouncing betty, but has only four "mines". Still, it
makes big explosions. Also, press B again after launching the
mines to have the betty itself blow up.
Radiation shield
Description: Protects you from radiation, but it drains your energy.
VIR imager
Description: Allows you to see infrared beams, but drains your energy.
Data pick
Description: You can use this to open locked doors, safes, keypads, etc.
(2-4)General hints
------------------
(For more hints, see this same chapter in the Crusader: No Remorse section)
Blow up everything you see, especially crates and barrels. Items are hidden
in unusual places, and often you will find a new toy or an entire secret
area.
You can roll under the hover-mines.
Watch all of your datalink messages! They often contain useful information
that will prove invaluable to beating your current mission.
Watch out for the invisible mines!
Throughout some levels, you will see these green things that sort of resemble
scales. If you use one, and sacrifice an energy cube, it will often perform
a useful function.
The only way to find all of the secrets is to stay alert and destroy
everything.
Level 1: Destroy the Plasma Turbine and escape
Level 2: Shoot your way through the mines and meet Lt. Col. Shepherd
Level 3: Put a Trojan horse into the tubeway
Level 4: Access the terminal to find Torch's whereabouts
Level 5: Rescue the prisoners
Level 6: Blow up the Ore Seperator
Level 7: Destroy the nerve gas(yes, again)
Level 8: Destroy incoming troop transport
Level 9: Stop self-destruct of Darkside Base(15 min. time limit)
Level 10: Destroy the Fusion Reactor
(2-6)Mission secrets
--------------------
(2-6-1)Mission One
------------------
Secret Room: After you meet Denning, walk up to the laser beams. If you look
closely at the next room, you should see a shootable switch
on the wall. Destroy the crate in front of it and shoot the
switch. You'll need a keycard to enter the elevator.
Crates: While exploring this level, you will find lots of large green
crates. You can shoot these open, revealing either radioactive
barrels, a footlocker, or a robot.
Air ducts: Throughout the level there are pieces of white, intricate paneling
in the walls. Blow them up to reveal shortcuts through the level.
(2-6-2)Mission Three
--------------------
Guns: To get a Reaper and a Crystallizer, you have to find the Energy Charge
station in a room that looks like this:
----------------------
EEEEEE | E = Energy station
EEEEEE |
EEEEEE |
| |
| |
------ |
|
|
|
|
--------------------------|
There is a hidden switch behind the energy machine. Flip it and step
onto the revealed teleporter(bring a radiation shield).
(2-6-3)Mission Four
-------------------
Hidden way: For a shortcut and some neat goodies, clear out the first room of
enemies. There is a section of floor made up of white panels.
Blow them up with a detpac or spider bomb, and jump down. You'll
have to blow up some boxes to reveal a yellow keycard slot. Get
the card, return, and open the door. Kill the guards and get the
goodies in the safe.
Bathroom: In one of the bathrooms, there is a worker on the john who says,
"I think I'm gonna fart!". Walk up next to him and press G to get
some medikits and energy cubes.
(2-6-4)Mission Five
-------------------
Fusion battery: There is a room, just before the area with the first medical
machine, where there is a keycard slot hidden behind crates.
Blow up the crates, find the card, and use the slot. You'll
have to kill some guards, but it's worth it.
(2-6-5)Mission Six
------------------
Easter Egg: When you get to the Ore Seperator, don't blow it up immediately.
Instead, jump across the conveyor belts onto the other side
of the platform. Walk south and use the keypad there. Then walk
down the platform some more until you come to the health machine.
Next to the machine there is a pad on the floor. Step on it and
destroy the trap. Step on the pad again. Now use the teleporter.
Fusion battery: In the first room, there is a fusion battery hidden
underneath the snack machine/Cametron.
(2-6-8)Mission Seven
--------------------
AR-7: In this level, there is an elevator pad. There is a switch to lower it,
but once it goes down it cannot go up. To ride the pad, first place a
detpac underneath it. Then, use the switch and jump on the pad. Blow
up the barrels to reveal a teleporter.
(2-6-7)Mission Eight
--------------------
Solartron: To take control of a Solartron, first get past the part near the
beginning with the grid on the floor. Kill the Enforcers and
shoot the shootable switch hidden near the glass. When you hit it,
a room opens up and there is a Solartron, computer station, and
footlocker.
Liquifier: To get a Liquifier gun, first clear the big room with the three
Solartrons and generators. The generators in the middle of the
room(surrounded by a fence) are above a secret. Blow up the
floor underneath them and drop down. Once in the tube, blow up
all of the panels in the walls. You'll have to kill some men,
but you'll get plenty of stuff.
(2-6-8)Mission Nine
-------------------
Hidden passageway: Near the beginning of this level, there is a large black
elevator pad. Go up the pad, step to the far left end of
it and jump off. Walk down and open the footlocker to
get the keycard. Now jump back down, use the card on the
slot, and walk through the entrance- but don't use the
computer station, or you'll be sorry!
Elevator: Near the Central Computer Core, there is a walkway that if you
step onto it, an Enforcer rides an elevator up. Kill him, then
step onto the elevator. You will go down to a secret area. By the
way, there is a keycard hidden behind the first android.
Room o' secrets: After the above secret, you will eventually come to a room
that has an Enforcer kneeling on some grating. Kill him,
and blow up the grating with some detpacs. Drop down to
get a bunch of goodies.
Also in this room, blow up all of the boxes in the lower-
righthand corner to reveal a system of ventilation ducts.
(2-6-9)Mission Ten
------------------
Chairman Draygan: To kill Chairman Draygan, roll right and activate the desk
switch. Roll left and forward to the enclosed space with
a keypad. Operate the keypad, and roll up to the computer
station. Kill Draygan with the Solartron.
(3)Misc.
--------
(3-1)Did you know?
------------------
- You can exit Mission Six without blowing up the Ore Seperator!
- Your CD of No Regret came with a bunch of cool stuff in the \goodies
directory. Check it out!

--------------
Head over to http://www.ea.com/origin to check out a Crusader: No
Regret web page with bios of the actors, an interview with Jason Ely, etc.
(3-3)Troubleshooting
--------------------
Most questions that you have with Crusader: No Regret can be answered
by the Crusader: No Remorse troubleshooting section, so if the answer you need
isn't in this chapter, check that chapter.
To get Gravis Ultrasound support, copy the file asylum.dll from the
\goods\gravis directory on the CD, to your Crusader: No Regret directory.
>From README.TXT:
Number 9 Imagine 128 video card
This video card does not support the movie player's 16-bit video
resolution and plays the movies as well as the game itself very poorly.
This is caused by the low throughput of this particular card in the
game's resolution. To make it run with Crusader: No Regret it is highly
recommended that you switch to low color movies and small movie size.
------------
Q. Crusader: No Regret is too violent.
A. Edit the CRUSADER.CFG file and change the line "violence=true" to read
"violence=false".(wimp)
------------
Q. When I get into the game, the Crusader starts to rotate in circles.
Why?
A. The mouse driver you are using may not be 100% Microsoft mouse
compatible. Update your mouse driver to a 100% Microsoft mouse driver
version 9.00 or higher.
You have a programmable keyboard which is interfering with the normal
keyboard interface. Disable the "programmable" part of the keyboard
or simply replace the keyboard with a normal 101-Enhanced keyboard.
The Joystick or Gamepad was not calibrated correctly. While you are
in the game use the ALT+C key combination to recalibrate the joystick
or gamepad.
Windows 95 Troubleshooting
--------------------------
Q. When I click on my shortcut icon, it takes me to DOS, but I get an
"INVALID DRIVE SPECIFICATION" prompt when I try to go to my CD drive to
install the game.
A. You don't have your CD-ROM driver installed for DOS. You will need to
create a shortcut and load the correct driver. If your system came with
Windows 95 factory-loaded, you may need to get the drivers from your
manufacturer.
------------
Q. When I click on my shortcut icon, it takes me to DOS and I get an "ABORT,
RETRY, FAIL" prompt when I try to run the game.
A. Make sure your CD is in the drive first. Or, you may not have your CD-ROM
driver installed for DOS. See the above question.
------------
Q. I have a supported/100% compatible sound card, but I'm not getting any
sound or music.
A. Your sound card driver is not loaded for DOS. You will need to load the
driver for DOS, or get the driver from your manufacturer.
------------
Q. When I try to run the game, it quits with the message, "Insufficient files
to run game..."
A. You need to modify your CONFIG.SYS. Return to Windows 95 and follow these
steps:
1. Right-click on the Crusader shortcut icon.
2. Highlight Properties and left-click.
3. Left-click the Program Tab at the top of the screen.
4. Left-click on the Advanced button at the bottom of the screen.
5. Go to the CONFIG.SYS box and find the line that reads: "FILES=##".
6. Change that line to read "FILES=40".
7. Find the line that reads: "BUFFERS=##".
8. Change that line to read "BUFFERS=40".
9. Left-click on the OK button.
10. Left-click on the next OK button.
11. Double left-click on the Crusader icon. Don't be alarmed when your system
reboots.
