The first thing that happens is that several small dinos will appear. Take care of them. Now you wont' be able to jump across the gap on the road, so go to the red sidewalk to jump over the gap there. After you jump the gap, continue North, and another wave of small dinos will appear. After you take care of them, head North, then go West, you'll find a ladder there, go up and grab the ammo. Go back down, head East. Another wave of small dinos will appear, take care of them, then continue North to enter the building. First, head West to grab the vest. Now go the the East of the room, you'll see a door, and an intercom beside it, activate that. Don't open that door yet. Go North, and open that door. Inside this room there will be a big dino with serveral small dinos, take care of those first. Grab the vest in the cubicle to the East. Now go aroun the shelves. Grab the box, drag it all the way North. Jump up onto the cabinets, then to the shelves, go East a bit, then jump to the shelves in the South, and grab the Machine Gun ammo and Shotgun ammo. Go back out the room. See that box? Go the the North side of it, and push it South onto the counter. Jump onto the counter on the West side of the box, and push it off the counter. Go to the North side of the box, and push it all the way South. Jump up onto the platform, and grab the thing bomb on it (now referred to as the 'Red Bomb'), serveral Big Dinos will appear, take care of them. Now enter the door on the East. Go to the first door on the South, watch out for the medium dinos that might appear. In this room, grab the Machine Gun ammo, the Shotgun, and the piece of paper, (it says 6795). A wave of small dinos will drop out. Take care of them and go back out. Continue all the way East until the path split, watch out for the medium dinos that come out. Go South, take care of the small dino, and the medium dino. Then grab the Machine Gun ammo and the vest. Continue South then East. There is a big dino, so take care of that. Ignore the two doors and continue East, then North, though you should beware of two more dinos in you way. Continue North and go into the North door, inside there will be several dinos, go along the corridor and take care of those and grab the two Machine Gun ammo, the Shotgun ammo, the Shotgun, and the green vest. Exit and you'll find yourself at the path split earlier, now, go South, East, and North, now you'll be back to where the two doors are. Now this time, enter the door to the East. Grab the Shotgun ammo (two of them) and go East to the path split. Here, go North, and a cutscene will ensue. After that grab the Machine Gun ammo, the Vest, and the keys from the dead body. After you grab those, prepare for dinos to drop out from the air. Now go back South and West, and out the door. Now head South and West. You'll find a a double door (which is actually an elevator). Go in, activate the pad and exit. Now you're upstairs. Go West, and into the door. Go to the cabinet and grab a Slow-mo Bomb, get the Vest if you need it, then grab the Red Bomb. Watch out for the big dinos that fall out of the sky. Now head out, and be prepare for a wave of small dinos. Now go all the way East, and enter the door. Inside this room, get the Shotgun ammo from the cabinet, the Vest. Now open the safe (the blue thing beside the cabinet), and get the Security Card. Go out, and prepare for another wave of small dinos. Now go back downstairs, and now you can open the door across the lift. First, go West and push the box against the North wall and against the furnace, jump up and grab the Machine Gun ammo. Grab the same box again, and pull it East until the second last square, then drag it South two squares. Then, go up to the other box, drag it East twice, and North once. Now go to the gray box and push it North, then West. (Note that if you push this type of box it'll slip out of your hands in continue till it hits something) Grab the Steel Box and pull it to the other switch (the square on the floor that sticks out). Now open the door to the East and enter. As soon as you enter, there will be a big dino, so prepare. Then enter the main room and take care of the three small dinos. Grab the Vest and the Security Card, and enter the door to the North. Now continue North and you'll be back to the door where the dead corpse is (also where you last talk to Sonia). Enter the door. As soon as you entered, there will be a really, really big dino, with a few small dinos, take care of those. Sonia will come out from a cubicle, talk to her. She'll tell you that you have to go back to TSI, and the stage will end. ___________________________ Stage 2 (Password: BHRTYP): ___________________________ Go to the blue car, and get in. -------------------- Controls: A button: accelerate B button: reverse -------------------- Go North to get to the next area. Now follow the path (to the East), don't worry about the small dinos, unless if you want to roll over them to get full score at the 'enemies' category. In the next area, a purple like dinosaur will start to chase you, watch out, cause if it hits you, your health lowers. Follow the path and you'll be ok. (Note that you can go over those orange pipes) ___________________________ Stage 3 (Password: LSKGHG): ___________________________ Here, you learn of the item that you need to bring back to the past to return things back to normal: a butterfly. And so, after the cutscene, go West, notice the hole in the left corner of the screen, dinos (two waves) will be coming out of that, so take care of them first. Grab the Machine Gun ammo. Now, push the Westest box West one square, then South until it is on top of the two other wooden boxes to the South. Get up onto that row of boxes and push the same box you just pushed onto the larger, steel box. Now drag the other wooden box West four squares, and then onto the two wooden boxes. Now push the wooden box that you left on the steel box next to the hole, jump into the hole and enter. Go South, then West and take care of any dinos that get in the way. Notice the two holes, it doesn't really matter which one you pick, but I recommend going to the lower one (if you go the other way, you'll just end up outside the room that you'll be in if you go the way I recommended). Once you drop out into the room, take care of the dinos. Then grab the Red Bomb, and the Machine Gun ammo on the desk, and exit the room (door's West). Go North then East (remember to take care of the dinos along the way), grab the Shotgun ammo, and the Vest. Now go back West then go South all the way. Take care of the small dinos, then grab the Machine Gun ammo, and the Machine Gun. Go North and down the stairs to the West. Follow the stairs, but be careful, as there are dinos theres. Take care of them and enter the door. After the cutscene (and a demostration of the electric floor), jump across the gap (use the box if you need to, but it's possible to sucessfully jump across the gap without it). Go East, and enter the door there, take care of the dinos and grab some Machine Gun ammo and a Vest. Go back out, and enter the door to the South. Take care of the big dinos. Jump up the boxes to the South to get the Shotgun ammo. Now, take the box closest to the door that you entered from and drag it South four times, then West twice. See that box to the East, push it on top of the box that you just dragged around. Now drag the box that you used to get the Shotgun ammo North four times, then West once. As a result, the boxes should form a stair- case leading to the brown steel box. Pull the brown box South once, jump over it, and push it South twice. The steel box should be on top of a wooden box, grab the wooden box, and pull it out. Then push the steel box North. Now use that, and the other steel boxes to activate all the switches. Note that dinos will try to stop you. After activating all the switches, the yellow door to the West will be unlocked, go in. Notice how there are two switches beside a computer at the West wall, and two gray steel boxes, one in a middle row of computers and the other one in the South column. Go to the South box and push it West, then push it North. For the box in the middle row, push it North, then West, the safe will open, go in. Get the Security Card. Go out and prepare for a wave of dinos. The yellow door on the North wall will now be open, go in. Now go into the lift. Activate it, and get out. And that's the end of the stage. ___________________________ Stage 4 (Password: LZDBVZ): ___________________________ First, grab the Gernade Launcher from the corpse, then enter the door. Well, there's a safe here to open, but the circuit is opne, so it looks like we've got to go the long way to open the safe. First, go West into the room to grab a Machine Gun clip and a Vest if you need it. Then go into the door East of the room. As soon as you enter, a dino will come at you, so watch out. Head East and grab a Gernade Launcher and Machine Gun clips. Go up to the shelve and grab the fuse, and Machine Gun clip. Head North and enter the room. Watch out for the small dino and grab the Machine Gun clip next to the bushes. Head downstairs and watch out for a bunch of small dinos. Continue East, and grab the Shotgun Shells and watch out for the two dinos coming at you. Head up the ladder. Watch out for the small dinos in the vent. Head to the opening closest to the one where you entered the vent from. Go in. Watch out for the dinos here, after taking care of them go the the circuit break (it's at the Northeast corner of the room) and plug in the fuse (AKA press R). Now head back up the vent. Go North to the crossroads, and head East into the opening. Jump the across the gap to the South to get a Vest and Shotgun ammo, but beware, as soon as you land, a wave of small dinos will appear (though only one lands on your platform). Go back North and into the vent. Head West to the next opening. Grab the box that is not on a ledge and push it onto the middle ledge (the one with the ladder). Push the box that's on the ledge down, then go to the North of it a pull it one square. Now, go to the East of the box and push it until it is next to the other box. Jump of the box, and push the other box off the middle ledge. Move the box that you just pushed off so that it is next to the ledge to the West. Use the box as a staircase and jump up onto the ledge and reward yourself with Shotgun bullets, Machine Gun clips, and a piece of paper that says "6795". As soon as you grab the piece of paper, a wave of small dinos will come. Head back into the vent. Now head all the way back to the safe you couldn't open. To do so: Go East to the crossroad, then go South, ignore the first vent and go into the second vent. Head West, watch out for the big dino, and go into the next room. Travel to the other end of this room to get to the room with the safe. Go to the West side of the room. Grab the wooden box that's most North, and move it 5 squares North. Then move it 1 square West. Since the floor will become electrified one we turn on the safe, grab the other wooden box, and move it North 1 square to the other wooden box. Now push the steel box in the direction of the switch and the safe will open. Head into the safe. Grab the Machine Gun clips and the vest, then grab the Sercurity Card which will make the place crawling with small dinos. Head back out. Go through the door on the East side of the room. And here comes a purple wave! Small dinos will appear, take care of them, and continue to the other end of the room, and go through the door. Head East, but watch out for the bomb spurting plants along the way. Go in the South door. Head into the middle of the room, kill the dino, and open the safe for a Slow-mo bomb. As soon as you grab that, small dinos will come down like rain, so beware. Head through the door on the East side. Head down the stairs that lead to the South, there are small dinos on the way, so watch out (you can ignore them actually). Now, enter through the door. And here's a rhinosaurous type dinosaur! I recommend firing that Slow-mo bomb you got earlier and using your Gernade Launcher, there's also a vest behind the desk if you need it. Kill the rhino dino and the level is finished. ___________________________ Stage 5 (Password: LBKVRG): ___________________________ Yes, this is the same room as the one you killed the rhino dino in the stage earlier. First go up to the cabinet, and treat yourself to some Gernades (who puts gernades in a cabinet...?). Then head through the door at the South side. Sonia loves to torture you doesn't she? This type, you have to look for the Blue Key Card. Oh yeah, here comes a time distortion (AKA the purple wave), and the only thing that has changed is the addition of a hug log blocking your way. Needless to say, move the box next to the log, and jump over it. Then head to the South side, where Sonia will tell you that the power is out, and enter through the door. As soon as you go through, a big, ugly dinosaur will attack you, kill it. Go to the cabinet for a Machine Gun clip. Then go to the desk to the South for some Shotgun ammo. Note that this is the room with the safe that you have to come back to. Now go through the door of the East side of the room. First, note that there are two bomb plants in this room, one you can see as soon as you enter the room, then one of the computers, they will regenerate over time, so watch out. Now, go down into the hole, and grab the Vest, if you need it. Then push the brown steel box that's the most West, all the way West, then all the way North. Then push one of the other brown steel boxes all the way West. Push the last box all the way East, then all the way North. Now go back up to where the gray steel boxes are (use that box as a stepping stone). Push the one that's the most North to the North, then push it to the East. Now, get rid of the bomb plant on the computers, then go and push the last gray steel box North, then East. Walk around the computers and push that brown steel box across the computers and onto the switch that's on the West side of the room. Now head to the East side of the room and go through that yellow door. First, go North, behind the big triangle thing is a Slow-mo bomb. Then, go South, next to the other triangel thing are gernades. Go to the shelve for Machine Gun clips, Vest, gernades, and Shotgun ammo. Now go through the door on the East. Watch out for the bomb plants, and head to the other end of the room, grab the Machine Gun clip on the way. As soon as you enter the clearing, dinos will appear, kill them all, or else the door won't open. Now enter the door that you didn't come in from. As soon as you enter, say hi to the big dino and the small one, then climb up the ladder. Now, here's two extra things that you can do, which I don't recommend doing if you're low on health: #1: Take the wooden box, put it all the way North, then all the way East. Go through the yellow door. Grab the Gernade Launcher from the guy on the ground. Go to the North side of the room to climb up the ladder, but before doing this, I recommend you use a Slow-mo bomb, since there is a bomb plant right next to the ladder. Kill the small dinos and move the brown steel box right next to the big one. Use the boxes as a staircase to go up to the higher level. Head South for Shotgun ammo. Head North for a Vest and Machine Gun clips. Now get out of this rooms. #2: Go up the staircase, (bomb plants!)and up the ladder to the vent, watch out because there's alot of small dinos. Go into the first opening. Small dinos everywhere! Grab the vest, and Red Bomb. Head back into the vent, and go out the South opening. END OF EXTRA! Anyways, head up the staircase, and through the door on the South side. Power cell rolling time! First, go to the South of the wooden box and push it 2 squares North. Then move it 1 square West. Now push the Northern power cell East, then North. Next move the wooden box West 3 squares, then South 1 square. Push the last power cell North then West. Be perpared for a way of small dinos. Get out of the room. Get back to the room with the safe. You can do this the long way (head through every room until you get back to that one) or you can do this the short way. Don't do the short way if you're very low on health The short way: Head up the ladder (do this quickly, or you get killed by the bomb plants, or you can kill them first, but after that hurry up of they come back). If you didn't do Extra #2, there will be alot of small dinos, and I mean alot. Head all the way North, ignore the first opening and then go through the opening to the East. And through the magic of shortcuts, you're in the room with the safe! For those of you that took the long way, head up the steps. Now, for all of you, move the wooden box so that it's East of the switch, and push the steel box onto the switch. And watch as the safe opens. Obviously go into the safe and grab the security card. Get out of the safe, and note that there is another Machine Gun clip in the shelf. Now go through the North side door, jump over the log and continue North, into the first room of this stage. Head into the yellow door. Open the double doors, go in. Press the switch. And that's the end of this stage. ___________________________ Stage 6 (Password: VWLFLG): ___________________________ To be continued 7) Updates: ----------- 27/03/05 - First update, up to Stage 3 15/07/05 - Second update, up to Stage 5, add Main Menu section, and a bit to the Items section. 8) Contact: ----------- Contact me at CyberPFalcon@hotmail.com if you need any more help.
