IV. The Story
Long shadows claw desperately away from your dusty combat boots, fueled by
the relentless sun of a late Texas afternoon. Shading your eyes against the
glare, you squint for the thousandth time at the line of soldiers ahead of
you. It stretches on endlessly across the rubble, disappearing at last into
the cool shadows of a troop carrier. Soon you’ll walk up the ramp into the
ship, climb into your one-man cocoon, tear through the interplanetary
gateway, and smash down light-years away from the blowing sand and blasted
ruins that surround the Dallas-Metro crater.
"What the hell is taking so long?!" you snarl, slamming the battered barrel
of your side arm, the blaster, against your scarred palm. "I’ve waited long
enough. Time to kick some Strogg ass…"
Slightly rocking back and forth under the sweltering August sun, you spit
out of the side of your mouth, rub your eyes, and think back to the day when
the wretched creatures first attacked. Like flaming meteors, their crafts
pounded into the Earth and unbelievably, these biomechanical aliens… these
hideous cyborgs… swarmed out while their ships still sizzled with reentry
heat. They killed or captured anything that lived. We figured that the
Strogg were after our planet’s resources: minerals, metals, and water:
things like that. But their onboard storage facilities did little to
disguise what they considered to be resources: fleshy limbs and organs for
new cyborgs, and of course, food.
The line moves. And moves again. Into the cool shadows at last. The
assembled armies branch off into new lines divided by corps and unit.
"I can’t deal with this shit – what’s the friggin’ hold-up?"
"Cool your jets, marine," Tokay mutters and smiles over his shoulder. "We’ll
all get a few Strogg heads to take home as souvenirs. I promise you that."
"Yo, soldier, 3585." The medtech’s voice startles you. "You in or out?"
Competent hands guide you into the coffin-like opening of your Mark 9A drop
pod: sleek, dark, and invisible to the Stroggos defense systems. One of the
techs begins to drop the reinforced pod door. "Sleep tight, soldier. You’ll
see sunlight in less than six and half-hours. Not our sun, mind you…"
Pitch black except for the mild glow of your video readout system in front
of you. You’ve done this a dozen times in the sim classes. No sweat. Just a
few short hours to sleep, recharge, and then… the moment of glory. But this
time it’s for real.
It’s also time to think. You recall your first official day of training,
your unit commander discussing how these damn parasites made it to Earth and
other nearby colonies in the first place. By employing our best satellites
and long-range scanners, we learned how they traveled light years so quickly
– the Strogg used these black hole-like gateways as their highway to heaven.
We still don’t know if they created these rips in the fabric of space and
time, or if they simply discovered them by accident. Either way… it’s just
like opening the door to an all-you-can-eat restaurant for these bastards.
In about two hours, we’ll be entering the same interstellar portals, to hit
‘em where it hurts… on their own turf.
You close your eyes and relish this thought. Eventually, you nod off to the
low hypnotic hum of the troop carrier.
*Crackle* ... *fzzzz* ... "Greetings to the people of the Coalition. This is
Flag Admiral Crockett, speaking to you from the bridge deck of Phobos. We
are entering the outer orbits of Stroggos, the alien’s home system. As we
had postulated, Stroggos’ atmosphere is harsh but breathable. We expect to
make planetfall soon. Now is the time to switch on your debriefing panel if
ya need it."
"Boomer?" the voice crackles through every soldier’s headset. "Drop X-ray
squad in 30 on my mark. You copy?"
"Roger that!" In another pod, your sergeant snaps back. "OK boys and girls,
you see the clock on your heads-up. Two demerits for anyone who up-chucks
during bounce and roll!"
*Shthunk!!* Your drop pod is shot from the side of the carrier and hurtles
downward. *Wheee-oooooo!* Incendiary atmosphere howls past the pod’s rapidly
heating shell. *Ka-WHUMP! * The pod wall suddenly buckles to your right, but
stays intact. Another pod must have clipped yours on its way in. ECM didn't
indicate enemy fire. Shit. Thrusters and stabilizing gyros are fading. Based
on the pings, the other pods are pulling away. Below you, the large alien
city roars into focus on the screen. But where are the other pods? They were
there a minute ago.
Suddenly, distorted radio chatter lights up, "Mayday! Mayday! Lost all
power... shielding failed... missed dz... some kind of EMP is... kzzzt... us
out. We're dropping like fli... zzzzkkkzzzt". Silence. Damn! If the Strogg
have electromagnetic pulse defenses and we failed to detect them… all of us
are in the shitter.
That HUGE blip has to be the Big Gun. You do a slow dogleg left as your
navcomp finds a place to land when all of a sudden retros kick in and propel
you south.
"What the...?" Before you know it you skip across the lip of a crater and
slam into a structure, a good distance away from your target. Dazed and
bleeding from a head cut you toggle open the labeled arsenal bins and reach
for where your gear ought to be stowed. Damn. Nothing but your sidearm. Damn
again.
You leap out the crushed pod door, alone, with blaster in hand, and tear off
into the room with the bittersweet stench of vengeance coursing through your
veins…
We have cleared the interplanetary gateway between Earth and Stroggos. In
exactly three hours operation Alien Overlord will commence.
As I speak to you, your pods are being fueled and all systems brought
online. Activate your field computers. The following Intel brief will
provide you with your military objectives, terrain information, arsenal and
equipment details, and enemy analysis.
Never before has there been a greater challenge to life, liberty, and
civilization. This is a crusade in which we will accept nothing less than
victory. No matter how long it may take us to overcome the Strogg’s barbaric
assault, the people of Earth in their righteous might will win through to
absolute victory. Today we will make very certain that this form of barbaric
treachery shall never endanger us again. With confidence in you, and with
the unbending determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable
triumph -- so help us God.
So go forth and kick ass, soldiers!
OPERATION ALIEN OVERLORD:
[Geography]
The core of the Stroggos civilization is the capital city of Cerberon. The
highly defended complex is built into the base of an enormous crater named
Crater Majoris. Between the northern plains and the southern sea of
Stroggos, Cerberon contains the major defense, communication, and political
controls for the Strogg civilization. At the southern tip of Majoris is a
second crater called Crater Minor. Crater Minor contains the defense base
complex for the city of Cerberon.
[Political Structure]
The Strogg civilization is governed through a system of Warlords. Each is
given strategic locations to command and control. A single leader, called
the Makron, is chosen from the Warlords. He commands Stroggos from within
the Palace City located at the northern end of Cerberon. Losing him would
leave the Strogg confused and in turmoil as the Warlords battle internally
to determine a successor. This would remove any chance Stroggos has for
creating a well-organized strike or defensive position.
[Defense Systems]
Guarding Stroggos is a defense system we refer to as the Big Gun. This
defense system detects and destroys any ship over a few meters in length.
Also, to protect against ground assaults, a deadly laser security grid
surrounds the entire capital city.
[Energy Resources]
Bluish crystals called Steedium are the source for most of the energy that
powers Stroggos. The energy gained from processing these crystals provides
them with the power run their entire civilization as well as their planetary
defense weapons systems (a.k.a. the Big Gun).
Military Objectives
Your primary objectives are to establish a communications uplink, destroy
the planetary defense systems, disable the interplanetary gateway, and
assassinate the Makron commander. Once the communication link is made,
subsequent communications will guide troops to their primary targets,
destroy targets of opportunity, and provide necessary ground support for the
follow-up air strike.
[Communications Uplink]
Your first objective is to establish an uplink between command and the
Strogg communication computers. These are in the exterior military base
south of the main capital of Cerberon. This will enable continued
communications, location information, and combat analysis beyond the base
complex. Failure to establish this uplink is not an option. Once on the
planet, the combat situation may change quickly. It is imperative that you
regularly check your computer systems for updated orders.
[Seek and destroy the Security Grid Control CPU]
Next you are to head into the City Outskirts and destroy their Security Grid
CPU so we can infiltrate the Strogg’s defenses. Getting into the systems so
we can find out why they are really attacking Earth is a must. Fail and the
entire Earth populace will be decimated.
[Locate The Reactor Core and Disable Its’ Safety]
After shutting down Defenses, kill their Power Supplies as well. Shutting
the power will enable us to bombard our targets without any fear of
retaliation. It is imperative this is done, or we are a lost cause.
[Locate and destroy the Laser Grid Control Computers]
This is an important objective, marine, so don’t fuck up. Shutting down
those lasers means all you have to do is kill Makron and you are done. Kill
the lasers and we can send in our ground troops. It also means our ships
won’t be carved like a roast Turkey.
[Terminate Makron]
This is it, soldier. Get in, blast Makron into alien slime, and get the hell
outta Dodge. Make Earth Proud.
The Stroggos Environment
The Strogg environment is in some ways like earth, but in many ways much
more hostile. The Strogg use a number of standard systems for activating
machines, opening doors, and using elevators. Their interface is easy to
adapt to: walk to it, over it, or shoot it. Other elements of the world are
much more hazardous and can be deadly.
Structural Systems
Buttons, Floorplates, and Levers: There are three ways to activate a switch.
Touch it, walk on it, or shoot it.
Doors: The majority of doors on Stroggos open as you approach them. If one
doesn’t open automatically, seek a button, floorplate, or key.
Secret Doors: Some secret doors conceal secret passageways or military
supplies. Most secret doors open when shot. Others open by activating
floorplates, buttons, or levers.
Area Doors: Specific symbols indicate the exit to a given area.
End of Unit Complex Symbol: The Strogg marked off areas to indicate a one
way passage. Once you leave a unit complex you cannot return.
Secret Areas: The Strogg have concealed military supplies in different
locations within the city. Recon your surroundings closely. Sometimes the
slightest variation in the environment could mark the entrance of a secret
area. There is no visual data available on actually where the secrets are.
Use your eyes soldier!
Environmental Hazards
Explosions: Found all through the city are explosive radioactive containers.
Stay clear of them in a firefight or you’ll end up in 46 little body bags.
They’re light enough to move, and short enough to jump on. Their explosive
power can blow through weak areas in walls.
Water: The water on Stroggos is safe enough to enter without needing an
enviro-suit, but remember to come up for air periodically. Be careful of
water currents.
Slime: All over Stroggos are pools of toxic waste from their refineries.
This slime eats away at your flesh unless protected by an enviro-suit.
Lava: Stroggos has large amounts of volcanic activity. Don’t go anywhere
near lava unless it is absolutely necessary. An enviro-suit won’t help you
much.
Traps: We know very little about the internal defense systems on Stroggos.
Given their warlike nature and the importance of Cerberon to the Strogg,
expect the environment to be deadly.
V. The Enemy
Light Guard
Description: Weakest of the three processed humans, armed solely with a
simple blaster.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Easy
Comments: Although their weapons may only sting, they may attack in packs or
summon help from the big dogs.
Shotgun Guard
Description: These loyal troops have an automatic scattergun prosthetic.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Easy
Comments: He goes down easy, but packs a punch
Machine-gun Guard
Description: Bigger, meaner, and deadlier than above…with a machine-gun for
a right arm.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Easy
Comments: They tend to charge in droves and have a sharp eye.
Enforcer
Description: Strong, muscle-bound warrior who dishes out chain gun speed
damage.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium
Comments: These bullies have one objective in mind, marine – to fill your
body with as much lead in the least amount of time. They can take a beating,
and are effective at ducking your ammo. Also watch out for post-mortem spray
from their chain gun caused by a spasm in their arm. Split once you see one
fall to its knees.
Gunner
Description: The fighting elite for the Strogg, outfitted with a powerful
machine gun and an automatic grenade launcher.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium
Comments: This cybernetic terror eats Mutants for breakfast before coming to
work - on you. He does have one weakness, though. It takes a second for his
hand to open up into the machine gun so take advantage of the brief delay.
Berserker
Description: He has a metal spike as one arm, a hammer as another, and moves
very quickly.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium
Comments: This bald mutha is one deadly freak. He may hit the dirt easy, but
he’ll get up and is relentless in his pursuits.
Iron Maiden
Description: Equally as powerful as the Gunner, this femme fatale has both
an arm-mounted rocket launcher and flesh tearing claws.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium
Comments: The cyber-bitch from hell…not the kind of girl to take home to
mom.
Medic
Description: As the name suggests, this threatening organism has the ability
to awaken dead Strogg from eternal sleep.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium
Comments: When he is not healing, the Medic moves about on two hydraulic
legs, and is armed with a laser blaster that shoots at hyper speeds.
Parasite
Description: Four-legged beast with a probe on its back. Once fired, it
attaches itself and literally sucks the life from you.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium
Comments: The Parasite makes Cujo look like Lassie on Prozac.
Gladiator
Description: With two massively mechanized legs and one shoulder-mounted
railgun, the Gladiator is the daddy of all the adapted humanoids.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium/Hard
Comments: Once targeted, you have less than a second to sidestep or you’re
toast. Also watch for his lethal left-handed clamp grip.
Flyer
Description: A small two-winged monster, comprised of a controlling brain
and a cyborg body that allows it to levitate.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium/Hard
Comments: The Flyer moves fairly quickly, travels in packs, and each wing is
a laser blaster.
Icarus
Description: Relies on a huge jet packed attached to its back, with laser
blasters mounted into his shoulders.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Medium/Hard
Comments: With its durable shell, swift maneuverability, and insatiable
appetite for destruction, the Icarus is an aerial nightmare.
Arachnid (PSX Quake II exclusive)
Description: He uses dual Railguns (one on each arm) for long range attacks,
but can also swing each Railgun equipped arm when his prey is in closer
range.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Hard
Comments: Constant movement is the best defense against the Arachnid’s
fierce dual Railgun Attack. The more you move, the less chance he has to
target you.
Tank
Description: Tanks have three weapons they use at random: an arm-mounted
machine gun, an arm-mounted laser blaster, and a shoulder-mounted rocket
launcher.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Hard
Comments: Get in, take your shot, and get out…repeat as often as necessary.
These metallic beasts can endure massive gunfire.
Tank Commander
Description: These Tanks are a special class, designed to secure the Inner
City from infiltrators.
Defense/Weapon Analysis: Hard
Comments: Consider planning your means of attack beforehand, rather than
running into their view with your weapons blasting.

VII. Battle Tactics (AKA not being blown into gibs)
There are several Tactics you must learn in order to get to a Quake Pro
Level. Those guys on the net aren’t Beginners, and they’d love to nail fresh
meat. (AKA beginners)
1. HIDE!!! -First and foremost, if you see that Rocket heading at you,
hide!!! This won’t do with other weapons, like the BFG, but for every other
one, it works.
2. Circle Strafing -This is also important. To get in close to do max
damage, get in and start, say, Turning left while Strafing Right. Result:
You wheel around that Tank with ease. If you challenge the Tank with your
blaster, and you come out alive, you have mastered the CS.
3. Shoot n’ Scoot -Also useful. If there’s a Tank down there and he can’t
get up to you, Take a few potshots, then strafe behind a wall until he’s
done firing. Repeat as necessary.
4. Dodging shots -Basically, are you gonna stand there with your “pal”(used
loosely here) warming up his BFG? Get the hell outta there while you can!!!
5. Go for the Gold! -Or BFG, or Railgun… simply put, if you have a
Machinegun and your “buddy” has a Railgun, chances are you’re shit outta
luck. Get the good stuff before Rocking.
6. Get the Armor, Silly-Armor can be your saving Grace.
7. Don’t be a Hero! –Simply put, this ain’t the movies, Arnold, you are the
hero, but playing like it’s a movie will do nothing.
8. NEVER FACE BOSSES HEAD ON –I think you know this one.
VIII. Weapons Index and Ratings
# | Name | First Acquired | Max rounds (normal) | Rating 1-5 |
1.| Blaster | It’s on you | Infinite | Crap!!!! |
Let’s face it, the Blaster is the weapon of yours that you’d otherwise use
as a last Defense, or unless you’re an expert Quake Player. (If you are, why
are you here?) Use this for the first few rounds, and then basically ditch
it unless you must need it.
2.| Shotgun | L1M1| 100 | 1 |
The Shotgun will be your buddy for the first few levels, though it isn’t
exactly the choice weapon to use on a Tank. By the time this weapon’s magic
wears off, the Super Shotgun should be yours.
3.| Super Shotgun | L2M1| 100 (really 50) | 2 |
The Super Shotgun is probably your best buddy for destroying most of the
enemies of the game. It is twice as powerful as the normal Shotgun, but as a
result eats twice the bullets. (Hence, the 50 in the Max Rounds table.) Can
down a Gunner up close with 2 shots, a Gladiator in 6.
4.| Machinegun | L3M1 | 200 | 2 |
A good backup weapon, the Machinegun is Weak, but delivers its’ shot
instantly. Use in bursts on bigger enemies, using the Duck n’ Cover Method.
Not really recommended on anything below a Gunner.
5.| Chaingun | L1M2 | 200 | 3 |
Using an insane amount of ammo, the Chaingun makes your opponent look like
Swiss Cheese. Can efficiently down an enemy in seconds. Long Warm-up and
Cool-Down phase, about a second each.
6.| Grenade | L1M2 | 50 | 1 |
Grenades, by themselves, aren’t too good of a weapon. You really need the
Grenade Launcher to make this an effective Weapon. Makes “tick” noises every
second. After the fifth, it explodes. Hold with Fire and release when you
want to. Holding makes it easier to get nearby baddies and longer distance
throws.
7.| Grenade Launcher |L5M3| 50 | 4 |
Much more useful once you grab it, The G. Launcher transforms Grenades into
better weapons. Using this, if out of rockets, you can do the Grenade-Jump,
but it is much trickier. Not to be used in confined areas. Strangely, you
can still use Grenades normally after you get it.
8.| Rocket Launcher | L5M3 | 50? | 4 |
The R. Launcher is one of the best weapons in the game, both powerful and
beneficial for you, in the form of Rocket Jumps. See the Battle Tactics
section for more information on that.
9.| HyperBlaster | L3-4M2 (Depends on order you enter) | 200 | 5 |
One of the best weapons you can get, the HB is a Chaingun on Speed. Zero
Spin-up and Cool-down times mean you can fill him with white-hot plasma
instantly.
10.| Railgun (AKA Sluggun and Slugthrower ) | L2M3 | 50 | 5 |
Simply the best weapon in the game, The Railgun can blast several Scumbag
Strogg in a line. Firing Depleted Uranium Slugs at High Velocities, it can
blast a Tank down in 5 Shots. The Best weapon you can get if you don’t go
for secrets.
11.| BFG10K | L4M4 | 200 (really 4) | varies… |
Normally THE Weapon in most other id games, ( DOOM, anyone?) The BFG10K is
found in 1 secret only. A second delay before firing as it compresses 50
Energy Cells into a ball. Useless against single enemies, but if it’s a big
ol’ room of Strogg, power it up and watch the Light Show.
IX. Items Index and Ratings
Pick up these helpful items whenever possible. Some items take effect when
picked up. You must select and use other items before taking effect.
Shells, Cells, Bullets ,Grenades ,Rockets
If you use the big guns, you need these.
There are five major ammo types: shells, cells, bullets, grenades, and
rockets. Except for the blaster, you must have ammunition to use a weapon.
Each ammo type has a maximum you can carry
Flak Jacket, Combat Suit, Body Armor
Armor, Silly. You need armor unless you like being Swiss Cheese. There are
three armor types: Flak Jacket, Combat Suit, and Body Armor. Each one
provides a certain amount of protection against both normal attacks and
energy weapon attacks. If you take enough hits, your armor strength depletes
down to nothing. So seek out unused breastplates. Pick up and salvage armor
that is not as good as your current armor to improve your armor health.
Armor Shards: Special remnant of armors, which add a bit more durability(+2)
to your existing protection.
Energy Armor:(Called Power Shield in the Manual) This provides improved
protection against energy weapons. While it is being used, it drains energy
from your cells when damaged.
Health: There are two types of standard health kits: First Aid and Medkits
Bandoleer: Increases your carrying capacity for all ammunition except
grenades and rockets.
Backpack: This allows you to carry more ammo on your back.
Enviro-Suit: This protects you against damage from hazardous liquids, such
as Slime.
Quad Damage: The quad temporarily multiplies all your weapon’s strengths by
four times. Let the gibbing begin!
Mega-Health: This provides a temporary but significant boost to your health.
This will wear off after a minute or so.
Invulnerability: The invulnerability item renders you temporarily
indestructible.
Super-Adrenaline: This slightly increases your health permanently.
X. Deathmatch Help and Options
Quake II's "Multiplayer" allows multiple players to enter a game together.
The most popular way to play Quake II Multiplayer is a Deathmatch, which has
no monsters, just player versus player! The goal of the game is to kill your
opponents more often than they kill you. Each kill counts for one "frag",
and if you kill yourself then you loose a frag, thus it's not a great idea
to go swimming in the lava or juggle your own grenades.
After you die, press fire to reappear, or "respawn", in the game. You’ll be
brought back at one of several random respawn locations. Throughout the map
you will find different artifacts, such as weapons, ammo, health and
powerups, that are needed to be successful at destroying your enemy. When
starting a Quake II Multiplayer, your Deathmatch experience is a true
fragfest! Deathmatch supports up to 4 players.
When you pick start on the Main Menu, you are presented with single or
Multiplayer options. Select the latter to get the following Choices:
Deathmatch: The game to play on Quake 2, Deathmatch is the Classic Kill or
be killed, shoot ‘em up Fragfest. Nab anything that moves.
Team Deathmatch: Not as good as the other guy? Want to prove your superior
ability? TDM is for you! Whether 2-on-2, 2-on 1, or 3-on-1, you can team up
or outwit the other team in this mode.
Versus: The ultimate Endurance Test, Versus is for the Diehard Quake
Fanatic. Just like DM, except:
1. No Health or Powerups.
2. When you’re Done, see ya.
3. Last man standing wins 1 point.
4. Then it goes all over again.

Guard and Enforcer - plus another two enemies through the far window. You
need to extend a bridge in this room to proceed here. Return through the
sliding doors and head left into the narrow passage. At the end is a door
for which you'll need the Blue Key.
Return along the passage and drop into the water by the broken bridge. On

then the napping Guard and his two mates. Collect Health and Shells x2,
before proceeding to the door.
Open the door to take pot shots at the Gunner and Enforcer. Once they're
goners, enter and head to the computer console on the far side to reveal the

the end of the passage though - avoid his deadly plasma blasts and grenades.
Take cover in left or right doorway, strafing into the passage to shoot at
him - to save ammo, use the Blaster. When he's finally croaked, go through

head upstairs to exit through the door.
Head back up the stairs to where you shot the Tank, and enter the left door
to a short corridor. Open the next door and head either side, to find a
Berserker - retreat to the doorway and you'll be able to shoot him at
leisure, as he can't make it over the shallow pit! Go through either passage
again, to shoot up at the Enforcer on the ledge. Once he's dead, proceed
into the large chamber, to lure another Enforcer - best to retreat to the
doorway again. Collect the Bullets he leaves, and then return to the large

could go through the door to fire at them from the passage). Round the back
of the large structure you'll find Cells x3, then exit through the door.
Follow the winding passage to the next door. Through it you'll find two
Gunners. Once they're dead, head through the right door (the other's locked)

two patrolling Tanks and Machine Gun Guard - take cover in the first
passage. Head into the left passage and ride the lift up. Kill the two
Gunners, then head left around the ledge to collect Combat Armor and Armor
Shards - note the door with the red lasers. Head round to the opposite
passage and enter the door.
Through the next door is a large chamber: blast the Gunner, then take cover
behind the right computer screens while shooting the Tank. Head through the
left door and follow the passage to a room with two Guards. Blast the side
walls to destroy the computers - you'll find Cells in the left one. Return
along the passage and head right, back the way you came. Round the other
side of the ledge, the red lasers have gone, enabling you to enter the door
leading to the next stage (you'll return here later).

through the small left tunnel to find Secret 1: Body Armor and Grenades x2.
Blast the prisoner behind the glass, then head back to the first room. Grab

Grab the Quad Damage and proceed around the passage, killing another Iron
Maiden. The first door's locked, so enter the second one, collecting Health.
Enter the left door and kill two Iron Maidens and a Dog Mutant (watch out
for his laser). For fun, access the computers by the operating tables to
make lasers cut up the bodies. Head through the right door, blasting an Iron
Maiden and prisoner in the passage.
Through the next door, turn right to blast a Tank. Round the corner is
another Dog Mutant: kill him to collect his Cells. Hit the left computer to
disable Level 1 security, then go right for Health x2, Cells, and
HyperBlaster. Return through the passage to the previous room, then back
into the earlier passage and through the opposite door. Collect Health and
open the next door to shoot a Dog Mutant. Round to the left are two ordinary
Dogs. Head through the next door, collecting Health, and hit the red button
to open the doors. Take the lift (wait till it's raised) down to floor 2.
Through the door, quickly blast another Tank. Collect Health and Shells,
then head left to where the moaning prisoners are. Shoot the Dog Mutant who
appears, then hit the computer to unlock the Maintenance Bridge. Return to
the passage and through the left door, collecting Health. Follow the passage
through another door and shoot the Dog below, then the one on the right.
Approach the edge to make the bridge appear. Head onto it and turn left to
jump to the ledge with the red button, to get Level 2 clearance. Jump back
and shoot through the opposite bars to the orange switch to open the
observation cell. Continue left and jump left to the next button for Level 3
clearance.
Head back along the bridge and right to enter the observation cell for

Dog. Follow the passage to a lift and take it up, ready to shoot a Dog
Mutant. Follow the passage to the repair room and shoot the Dog. Collect the

Command.

Gravity Booster
ORDERS: ELIMINATE THE GUARDIAN: USE ITS ANTIMATTER CORE TO DESTROY THE
GRAVITY BOOSTER
ENEMIES: 16
SECRETS: 0
Shoot the Gunner and climb the crates for Combat Armor. There's Health to
the left of the entrance if you need it. Through the sliding door, blast the
Tank on the right, then take care of the Gunner on the left ledge. Take the
lift (to the right of the entrance) up there and grab the Health - at which
point the floor explodes. Shoot the Flyers, then drop back down. You can
jump into the sludge pool for the Adrenaline if you want, climbing out via
the ladder.
Enter the door opposite the entrance (the other's locked). Follow the
passage to the next door and enter it. Grab the Slugs and Grenades, then
step onto the platform to ride it down the slope. Go through the door and
follow the passage.
The next door leads to a large chamber. inhabited by the Guardian. A large
two-legged robot, it's relatively easy to kill: just keep circling behind it
and blasting with the Rocket Launcher.(I’ve added this in parenthesses as a
easier way: Simply shoot him, wait until he’s near you, then pop in and out
firing your Blaster.) When it croaks, it leaves behind the A-M Bomb. Around
the room, you'll find Health x5, Rockets x2, and Combat Armor. Enter the
passage to the right of the entrance door to find a glowing teleporter -
step into it.
Kill the two Gladiators on either side of the large structure, before
heading down either slope. Collect the Health on either side, then take a
lift up and blast a Gladiator. Up the stairs, grab the Rockets and shoot a
Gladiator if he approaches. Once you've placed the bomb in the middle,
quickly enter the glowing teleporter before the core blows. Shoot the two
Gunners, then grab Rockets, Health, and that elusive White Key. Head
upstairs to return to the room with the sludge pool. Go through the right
door, and then exit back to Defense Command.
Defense Command (3)
ORDERS: LOCATE UNIT EXIT AND KILL ALL RESISTANCE
NEW ITEMS: AMMO PACK
Head left and take the lift down to the floor. Head left into the passage
and through the door. The blue corridor leads back near the start of the
level: take the second door to another blue corridor. Through the next door,
head left to take the lift up. Turn right into the passage to enter the
door. The next one leads back to the circular room - where a Flying Mutant
bursts through the floor! Take cover behind the computer screens as you
blast it.
Once it's debris, drop into the hole for Shells x2 and Ammo Pack. Exit via
the blue panel, back to the room with three doors. Head left and retrace
your route back to room with the hole. This time, enter the right door
(using the White Key). Follow the corridor to a new room: blast the Guards,
collecting Slugs x2, then destroy the Tank (you can dive into the pool for
Quad Damage if you dare). Take the stairs up either side for Health x2.
Heading toward the exit door, look left to see some cracked glass. Blast it
open and dive into the water for Secret 1: Bullets x2 and Cells x2. Climb
back out and go through the door to find the mission exit - collect Health
before leaving.
Mission Five: Inner Chamber
ORDERS: PURSUE MAKRON THROUGH THE INNER CHAMBER
ENEMIES: 14
SECRETS: 0
Collect Health x2, Rockets x2, and another Rocket Launcher. Destroy the
Tanks either side, then head down either staircase. Go up to the door, then
stand well back as lasers destroy it. On the other side are two Gladiators -
use the Grenade Launcher through the doorway. Once they're dead, enter and
collect Health, Combat Armor, Grenades, and Rockets x3 from the alcoves
either side. Around the back is another Tank to bust.
Enter the back passage and collect Health x2, and then hit the button to
take the lift up. Through the door, shoot the Iron Maidens on the other
side, then collect Health x2 and Grenades x2. Hit the buttons at the end of
each narrow bridge. This removes the forcefield from the tube by the
entrance, so you can take its lift up to a large room with Makron at the
end. He disappears as you approach. Step onto each of the floor switches in
turn, avoiding lasers, and then blast the Flyers, which appear.(Don’t
bother, as there’s at least 1 medkit nearby one of the switches, just grab
it after you hit both.) This eliminates the lasers guarding the buttons on
the far wall. Hit them both, then go up the steps to the teleporter.
Final Showdown
ORDERS: TERMINATE MAKRON; FIND AND ACTIVATE SELF-DESTRUCT MECHANISM
ENEMIES: 2
SECRETS: 0
Look behind you for Combat Armor. Head left up the slope for Cells x2.
Follow the passage to a wide corridor with Grenades x4 and Shells x4 (and a
locked door). Return to the start and head up the other slope for Cells x2.
Proceed round to a wide corridor with Bullets x4. Enter the red lift and
ride it up.
There are lots of goodies around the outside of the large chamber, but watch
out - there's also a huge Guardian with a BFG! Obviously, take cover behind
the pillars, popping out to blast him with Rockets etc. If you run out of
ammo, hit the two blue floor switches and head down the slope for lots of
Bullets and Rockets.
(Iv’e done this again to explain an easier method of doing in the first
form: Hit both switch plates and lure the Mech towards you. He will be above
the hole, so simply aim all the way up(hold R1 if you have autocenter on)and
blast him with The Super Shotgun. This won’t work on Makron himself, though.
Oh, and if you don’t remember to hit BOTH SWITCHPLATES, 9 out of 10 times
you’ll get blasted with a BFG.) When the Guardian finally explodes, out pops
Makron himself, ready to blast you with his laser, railgun, and BFG. Keep
your distance and take cover behind the pillar, as before, blasting him with
your best weapons. You'll have to knock him down several times before he
croaks it.
When he does, the place starts rumbling. Head down either lift and round to
the locked door you saw earlier. Go through it and follow the corridor to
another door. Through it, head right through the opening door and hit the
computer to activate the self-destruct mechanism. Now head down the stairs
to find the waiting transport craft. Head right to the console to drive it
out of there.

XIII. Revision Information
2/21/01 Got concept to write a FAQ. Decided on QUAKE II.
2/22/01 Internet server was down today, so made little headway. Just putting
up basic Information, mostly about Weapons. Preparing to sacrifice many
sheets of Paper for the Walkthrough. Created original title, changing font
to Chiller with above Results.
2/22/01 Learned server went up 10 minutes after I left. Damn. Anyway, put up
more TAS, (Thanks and shouts) walkthrough (I’ve been up all night, send me
your pity later), and battle tactics.
2/26/01 Busy, busy, busy. Played until 1 AM EDT to get the gold cheats.
Revised a few fatal Errors, including Controls and Title(Which looks good on
my Word, but like crap on Sites.)Added FAQ to two more pages, which are
listed below.
