Shockwave : Official Solution to All the Levels
-----------------------------------------------
Mission 1 - Egypt
3 Objectives:
1 - Valley of the Kings:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your first objective
done. You have 18 aliens to destroy there. (10 walker (tripods)
and 8 flying aliens (Scout)). Be careful here because one tripod
slowly tries to escape on the left of the path. If you are really
slow, you may not be able to destroy it.
2 - Giza:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your second objective
done. You have 15 aliens to destroy there. (10 regular tripods +
2 strong tripods + 3 Scouts ).
3 - Cairo:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your third objective
done. You have 20 aliens to destroy there + 1 Big Boss. (4
regular tripods + 8 stronger tripods + 8 Scouts + 1 fortress)..
To destroy the Boss, use the missile you have. Avoid absolutely
to be too close. Launch 1 or 2 missiles from far and then Make a
U-Turn and redo the approach.
Hints:
* To accomplish this mission you don't have to destroy any other
aliens than the ones present on these three sites. But, you may
want to destroy the 3 tripods present on the refinery site in the
middle of some fuel tanks. If you destroy these 3 tripods but
destroy nothing from the refinery than you find later on the left
of the path a bonus Refueler.
* You have in this mission 4 possible Refueler. The second is
conditioned by your performance in the refinery and the fourth is
there only if you made the 2 first objectives.
* lways check that the last Refueler you saw is not turning
anymore before having it out of your path. You may sometime
refuel twice. Basically, when you see a Refueler, do a first
refueling, then destroy the aliens after this Refueler and then
return to this Refueler.
* On an objective place, it's generally better to destroy the
flying aliens and then the ground aliens. Try to keep your
missile for the flying aliens.
* Except if you want to make a high score, don't waste your time
and energy destroying all the aliens on your way. Stay focused on
your objectives.
Mission 2 - Peru
2 Objectives:
You only have 2 objectives here in the Peru Mission. Destroy all the
Aliens in the 2 towns and you will have achieved your objectives
Hints:
* Shoot all the air alien forces then attack ground forces.
* Use refueler in the Andes and fly directly to Lima to shoot your
way to the end.
* Very easy mission.
Mission 3 - Las vegas -Los Angeles
5 Objectives:
Las Vegas:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your first objective
done. You have 20 aliens to destroy there. (3 Tripods - 5
Collectors - 7 Scouts - 5 Interceptors).
Riverside:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your second objective
done. You have 25 aliens to destroy there. (4 Tripods - 7
Collectors - 3 Scouts - 5 Interceptors - 3 MobileAA -1 HeatSeeker
- 2 Swarms). You must also destroy the 4 powerCells but NOT the
prison.
Pasadena:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your third objective
done. You have 19 aliens to destroy there. (3 Tripods - 3 strong
Tripods - 2 Collectors - 3 Interceptors - 2 MobileAA -5
HeatSeeker s- 1 Swarm). You must also destroy the 4 powerCells
but NOT the prison.
BurBank:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your fourth objective
done. You have 20 aliens to destroy there. (6 strong Tripods - 3
Collectors - 3 Interceptors - 4 MobileAA - 3 HeatSeekers - 1
Scout). Be careful here because 2 MobileAA quickly try to escape
on the left of the path. If you are not fast enough in the
beginning of this objective, you may not be able to destroy them.
Los Angeles:
Destroy all aliens here in order to get your fifth objective
done. You have 15 aliens to destroy there(5 Scouts - 4 strong
Tripods - 6 Swarms). You also have to destroy a fast moving new
craft called Cobras (their number depends on your performance on
the first objectives). You have to destroy 12 PowerCells in order
to free 3 prisons. Finally, you have to be careful with the
satellite dishes. Don't destroy more than 1.
Hints:
* On Las Vegas, if you don't destroy any civil building, then you
get two bonuses:
o Your first Refueler is going to be full, else it's going to
be partial. This first Refueler is not visible on your radar
because a tripod is exactly at the same position.
o An extra Refueler in Riverside, far on the left of the
path, invisible on the radar.
* You need to protect the Atomic Power Plant form the Collectors
walking towards it (else you're probably dead) and also save the
6 close towers from the tripods. If you save them, then you get
an extra Refueler far on the left of the path in Los Angeles.
* After Pasadena, in the Refinery region, you have a partial
Refueler (invisible on your radar) on the right of the path.
* To destroy a Swarm, just shoot the immobile one.
Mission 4 - England
4 Objectives:
* Destroy all transport vehicles and aliens in the first section.
ICE will tell you when you have completed this stage.
* Destroy all transports in the next section. This means all alien
ships and transport units.
* This one is a little tricky. ICE tells you that you might be OK
to ust fly by this cluster of aliens. However, this is a mission
obective so you must destroy everything in this region. The
aliens also will leave the screen so you have to be very careful
not to let anything get past you.
* There is a construction sight that ICE tells you to destroy. It
is a line of alien ground-to-air "directors" that can cause
extreme damage to the shields of the craft.
Hints:
* At the end of of mission, there is a line of alien ground-to-air
"Directors" that fire at you. Destroy the center one and use your
thrusters to move past them. This will complete the obective.
* When you are past the construction site you will come across a
lot of aliens and a helicopter. The helicopter is used to pick up
Howser, so if you accidentally blow up the helicopter , you have
failed the mission.
Mission 5 Hawaii
Introduction:
Your main goal is to destroy the communication systems (Radar) and
then to save the Kennedy.
5 Objectives:
1st Radar Site: (ground)
Find and destroy the first group of 5 Radar. (Listen to ICE).
Prisoners Rescue Operation: (sea)
You have to free 2 groups of 2 barges of prisoners. For that,
destroy the two leading alien boats without destroying the 4
barges and the Love Boat.
2nd Radar Site: (sea)
Find and destroy the second group of 7 Radar. (Listen to ICE).
3rd Radar Site: (sea)
Find and destroy the third group of 5 Radar. (Listen to ICE).
Kennedy Rescue Operation: (sea)
Destroy all the aliens surrounding the Kennedy and avoid the
Kennedy to be destroyed. You will have to destroy 15 to 19 aliens
(or less if you succeed in your first objectives). They are: 2
Skeeters, 5 Skimmers, 4 Submarines, 3 Scouts, 1 to 5 Cobras
(depending on your previous performances).
To end this final objective, you have to destroy the final Boss,
named "Morphing Tower". Don't get to close of it to avoid to
start the morphing operation.
Hints:
* In the middle of the volcano, you have to destroy a 'Pumper'
that provide the energy of the Energy fence located on the land
between objective 4 and 5. If you destroy this pumper, the fence
will be inactive, else the fence will be active and very
dangerous.
* On the Prisioner rescue operation (Objective 2) you have to be
very careful on what vessels you destroy. The lead vessels you
have destroy are actually the last ones when you are flying
towards them. They are going in the same direction as your flight
path. There are two sets of ships so destroy them both. Be very
careful on the second one because there is a ship right next to
it. If you destroy the ship, you won't be able to pick up the
prisoners and won't complete the objective.
* Between the objective 4 and 5, you'll find 3 giant alien boats.
Destroy them and you'll get a bonus Refueler on the right of the
Path after the Kennedy location.
* Between the objectives 3 and 4 (two radar location), you can
find on the left of the path a extra Refueler not displayed on
your radar.
* Avoid to get to close of the Kennedy, you may collide with it
and with the "Special Force Shield arming your aircraft, you may
destroy the Kennedy already fragile.
Mission 6 - Utah
6 Objectives:
* Destroy the three escavators just past the wall of AA's.
* Destroy the four escavators past another wall of AA's
* Destroy the first egg sight. It is guarded by a lot of alien
units so once you have destroyed it, use your thrusters and get
past them.
* Destroy another four escavators. ICE will tell you once you've
completed that there are no egg sights left.
* Destroy another egg sight. Use the same tatical strategy as you
did with destroying the first egg sight.
* Destroy the giant alien in the city of Dubway.
Hints:
* To destroy the escavators you need to hit them with two nuke
missiles and some random laser fire.
* There are two ways to destroy the egg sight:
o Destroy the egg itself by using your missiles and lasers on
it.
o Destroy the surrounding alien units and thte egg will
automatically be destroyed.
* When you confront the giant alien in Dubway don't worry about
destroying the building because all you need to do is to destroy
the alien to pass the objective.
* There are a lot of aliens in this mission that you don't need to
kill. Don't waste your time with them because all they do is
drain your missiles and lasers. Use your thrusters and get past
them.
* There is a hidden fuel drone in the canyon that is not on the
radar.
Mission 7 - Mexico
4 Objectives:
* Destroy the two escavators and the first egg sight. Remember
that they are both heavily guarded so you must be precise when
attacking them.
* Destroy the second egg sight. Use the same technique that you
used in mission 6.
* Destroy the third egg sight.
* Destroy the robotic type aliens. There are three and they are
heavily armored so you will have to use both missiles and lasers
to destroy them.
Hints:
* The two escavators in the first objective need to be hit with
three missiles and some random laser fire to be destroyed.
* Destroy the fortress and receive a better fuel drone later in
the mission.
* Destroy the four flying alien units "Hunters" or they will
follow you throughout each section.
Mission 8 - Congo
4 Objectives:
* Destroy the landing pads and everything inside the first two
silos.
* Destroy everything in the next two silos. It is very important
that all the eggs are destroyed in order to complete the
objective.
* Destroy all the landing pads. ICE will tell you that this is
very important!
* Destroy the spider alien.
Hints:
* The first fuel drone is guarded by mines. To disable the mines
and create a clear path to the fuel drone you must take out the
magnetic field underneath the fuel drone. Then take out the two
radar stations just over the hill. There is also a tri-pod alien
that must be destroyed.
* There is a giant alien directly after a fuel drone near the end
of objective one. You need to fly through really fast and fire
your missiles immediately. The continious fire from the missiles
will destroy the alien. After completing this, fly slowly back
through the fuel drone and regain the missiles you lost.
* The third silo that you have to destroy is really tricky! After
you have destroyed all the eggs you will have to manuever your
craft past a set of steel fangs. If your ship gets hit in any way
by the steel fangs, you will be destroyed. You must use your
thrusters time your exit out of that silo just right to go onto
the next objective.
* In the last objective, you will be confronted by a giant
spider-type alien. You should destroy the magnetic field first
then start using your missiles on the alien. Once you have
depleated your ammo, there is a fuel drone directly to the west
side of the screen that will enhance your shields and missiles.
Mission 9 - Paris (Clouds)
7 Objectives:
* Destroy the first communication tower.
* Destroy the second communication tower
* Destroy the third communication tower
* Destroy the fourth communication tower
* Destroy the fifth and sixth communication towers
* Destroy the giant snake alien. You might have to double back and
hit it a few times with missiles lasers in order to destroy it.
Hints:
* When destroying any of the communication towers, you want to
destroy the big unit first. After it is destroyed, you can pick
off the little communication devices that surround it. Make sure
that you make good use out of your fuel drones because there are
a lot of swarming alien units that guard these communication
devices.
* After you pick up the first two 02 generators you will be
confronted by a giant snake like alien. Make sure that you don't
get too close to it because the damage it gives out is deadly.
Also make sure that you don't destroy the third 02 generator when
trying to destroy the alien. If the third 02 generator is
destroyed you will not be able to complete the mission.
Mission 10 - Moon(Mothership)
1 Objective:
* Reach the mother brain and destroy it. It will take a while to
reach it because it is located in the back of the mother ship.
Hints:
* Use your thrusters a lot to bypass many of the aliens. Since
there is only one objective, it would be wise not to waste much
time on alien units firing at you.
* When you reach the mother ship there will be a fuel drone
directly above it. Don't use it, destroy it. It will start firing
at you if you get too close to it.
* Watch the surface of the moon for magnetic fields. They can be
quite annoying if you are stuck in one.
* Scattered throughout the mother ship are "Pumpers" . They don't
fire at you, but take out as many as possible because it makes
killing the mother brain easier.
* When you approach the mother brain try to destroy the aliens
surrounding it first instead of hitting it straight on.. This
might make the final objective a little easier.
Walkthru for Shockwave: Operation Jumpgate
------------------------------------------
Mission 1 - Mars
There are four objectives in this mission.
Counter 251: Destroy two posts (on the far left and the far right). This will
prevent the large alien located at counter 243 from blocking the flight path.
Counter 243: A ring-shaped alien will block the flight path unless the posts at
counter 251 were destroyed. Kill it to continue.

in Mission 1) from appearing at counter 188.
Counter 159: Destroy the large alien that is blocking the flight path.
Counter 137 (Objective 1): Escort the science ship safely throughout the whole
mission. Aliens will not only fire at you, but also the science ship. The
science ship appears at counter 137. Do not go too far ahead of the ship, or it
will be destroyed and the mission will terminate immediately. Stay slightly in
front of the ship and kill all aliens to clear a path. When the science ship
starts losing its shields, it will turn from blue to red.
Counter 98: The science ship will land at the first ruin site.
Counter 40: The science ship will land at the second ruin site.
Mission 5 - Asteroid
There is one objective in this mission.
Counter 243: Destroy the six buildings that appear in the first half of the
mission to obtain an extra Refueler later. The buildings are located at
counters 243 (2), 113, 111, 104 (2).
Counter 194: Destroy the four power generators. If they are not destroyed, no
more Refuelers will appear. The power generators are located at counters 194
(2), 181, and 179.
Counter 153: Destroy the four radar jamming devices. If they are not destroyed,
your radar screen will be inoperable. The radar jamming stations are located at
counters 153, 146, 142, and 132.
Counter 113: Destroy the large alien. If it is not destroyed here, it will
reappear two more times during the mission.
Counter 25 (Objective 1): Destroy the six tuning fork aliens. This will remove
the energy fence. The large alien (the source of the energy field that protects
the Jumpgate) within the fence will start to retreat. A lot of lasers hits and
Hellfires are needed to destroy it.
