News & Updates NEWSS ================================================================================ Version 1.10 - 24th October 2005 - Revised Shower Room, Record Room & Experiment Pool. - Revised Optional quest at Central Control Access, Cell Block Access & B2 Escape Route. - Fix the error in Guard Station. - Fix Frequently Asked Questions Version 1.00 - 15th September 2005 - This FAQ is complete and polished! ================================================================================ 03. Introduction GETIN ================================================================================ Anna mode is a mini game of Death by Degree. As the name suggest, you'll play as Anna Williams in this mini game to find out what happen after Nina escape from the Solitaria Penitentiary. The objective of this mini game is to collect Data Cards as you make your way to the Pier alive. Lukas and Enrique are dead, Nina escaped, and everything is a mess at the Solitaria Penitentiary. So Enrique's men are no longer allies with you. To make matter worst, Lana Lei send her henchmen and robots to the Solitaria Penitentiary too. Therefore, everyone is your enemy! You got to get to the Pier alive! ================================================================================ 04. Message for my readers MESSG ================================================================================ A warning to all new Death by Degrees players, you won't likely to beat Anna mode in a single try, even with the help of this FAQ. It took me a lot of tried and error to beat Anna mode and write this FAQ at the same time. So don't blame this FAQ if it didn't help you. Just try again next time, like many other players who manages to beat Anna mode. This FAQ contains some of the best solutions I can come up with for each location. Each time I load up Anna mode, I discover some tricks that could prevent certain events from happening, events like getting ambush by the enemies. I also found some of the best spots where the guards couldn't spots you. These info help me reduces the chance of dying. I wrote these solutions into this FAQ and I hope they can help you in your game as well. With all said and done, good luck. ================================================================================ 05. Hints and tips TIPPS ================================================================================ - You can't save your progress in this game! Sucks eh? The signal detection on the top right corner of the screen is to detect the Data Card. - You can't leave an area or open a door if you are engage in a fight. - Anna couldn't use guns in this game. She can only use hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons. She has every hand-to-hand combat skills acquired including weapon removing. - By holding the Combat Mode button and move behind the guards, they cannot hear the sound of your steps and you move a lot faster than using the analog stick alone. Use this to your advantage and kill them by breaking their neck. There will be A LOT of neck breaking in this FAQ. - The enemy you killed will not respawn when you enter previously visited place like Nina's game. - The longer you take to wipe out the confrontation in a fight, the harder it is to complete this game. If you see a guard with some orange light on his back, take him out first. It's because he is the "Back up calling" guard, he will call in reinforcements if you let him live too long. - Save the Dotanuki or Stun Baton for Robots and Kung Fu henchmen. Use only Katana or Tonfa on other guards/soldiers. - The kung fu henchmen will not appear if there are Enrique's guards in the same room. ================================================================================ 06. Walkthrough WALKY ================================================================================ Location: Yard Items: DATA CARD #1 This is where your starting point is. There are 5 guards here. Guard #1 is patrolling along the broken fence; Guards #2, 3 and 4 are inside the yard and Guard #5 is at the door to the Central Control Access. There is also a dead Tekken Force soldier in the yard. Check the ASCII map for a better understanding of the guards' position. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _/ \/ | |o | |_ _| \_ / /\ |o | \__| \ |o | _ TF / \ \ |o | | | \__> \ |o | 2 | | \ | _| |_| | \ ----------- |_|_| | 1 _| - Legends - | || | | ----------- | _ _ || |_| 1,2,3,4,5 = Guards _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| | | | | 3 | | | | TF = Tekken Forces Soldier | 5 | | | _|_| |_| |_| S = Starting point | | 4 | | | | | | || \__ _ | | | |_ _| |_| || \ | | | | | | / \ \ |_| |_ _| | / \ \ | S | \ \ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| | \ | \_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _\ Go forward and hide behind the containers on your left. Wait until the Guard #1 turn his back, sneak behind him and snap his neck by using the grab button. You could press and hold the Combat Mode button to move and the guard won't hear you from behind. Now stand behind the fence and wait for the Guard #3 to walk away. Leave him alive for now. From the fence, you can see a dead Tekken Force soldier next to a container. Don't collect the Data Card yet because Guard #2 is nearby. Hide behind that container and wait for Guard #2 to turn around, sneak behind him and snap his neck. Next, return to the dead Tekken Force soldier and collect his Data Card. Now, sneak behind Guard #3 and snap his neck too. Guard #4 is patrolling toward and forth the maintenance elevator. Sneak up from behind and break his neck as well. From this area, you can see Guard #5 through the fence. Open the door and let him spot you, 1 "Back up calling " guard and 2 shield guards will rush in from the Central Control Access. Take care of the "Back up" guard as fast as possible before he calls in more reinforcement. If you are good enough, your health should not be lower than 80%. Otherwise, restart and try again. Now that you killed everyone, don't wander around the yard; you will be ambush by Lana Lei's kung fu henchmen if you return to where guard #4 patrolled. They will also ambush you if you go near the watchtower elevator. To counter this problem, go to the outer area of the Yard, pass through the broken fence again and get back to the maintenance elevator. Use it to get to upper floor. Then proceed to the shower room. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Shower Room Item: Meal Kit M Data Card #2 Katana There are 2 guards and 3 robots in this room. 1 of the guard is patrolling and the other is standing in front of a dead Tekken Force soldier. Collect the Meal Kit M beside you and run towards the ladder, climb down and hide behind the wall. There is a robot beside the ladder but don't bother about it yet. Hide behind the wall because there will be a patrolling guard nearby. Wait for him to turns around, then sneak behind and snap his neck. Move towards the wall behind the next guard, but don't go too close to the door, or else the robots will activate. Hide behind the wall and keep pressing L3 to fill up your focus bar. Wait until the guard turns his head, sneak towards him and kill him. Now collect the Data Card #2. Collect the Katana if you have space. Now approach the exit and the Robots will active. Finish them off with critical strike or the Katana (or the Stun Baton) and move on. If you got badly injured, use the Meal Kit to recover some health. Otherwise, save it for the next area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Rec Area Access/Central Control Access Items: Meal Kit M Tactical Belt This area has a trick that could reduce the number of alerted guards. There is a small part of Central Control Access, which is where the gate is. There are 3 guards in this area, 2 at the RAA area (Rec Area Access), and 1 at the CCA area (Central Control Access). If you get detected at the CCA area, don't move into the RAA area, otherwise 2 more alerted guards would come in from the shower room and join the fight. Go towards the gate and let the guard at CCA area spots you. Just stay at the gate and finishing them off at CCA area. That way, you only fight 3 guards instead of 5 guards. Pick up the Tactical Belt at the gate and the Meal Kit M nearby. The next area you should go is the Record Room. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Record Room Items: Data Card #3 Dotanuki This room has many guards but it's possible to stealth kill most of them. But first you have to deal with two of the guards. These 2 guards are armed with Stun Baton. The first Stun Baton guard is doing some stretching while the second Stun Baton guard is patrolling towards and forth him. Wait until the second Stun Baton guard turns around, sneak up to the first guard and snap his neck. Then quickly run back and jump over the railings. You can do that by pushing the left analog stick twice. Your next victim would be the second Stun Baton guard. Don't sneak up behind him on his 2nd round of patrolling, there will be another armed guard nearby. Wait for his 3rd round instead. The armed guard will be away so he can't spot you when you snap your 2nd victim's neck. Your third victim would be the armed guard. Hide behind the computer cabinet and sneak to another cabinet beside the 3 monitors. The armed guard will pass by and you can snap him neck from behind. Once you finish these 3 guards, the rest will be much more easier. Just find the right chance to stealth kill the rest. (I had managed to stealth kill 3 guards so far and I will update this part in the future.) If you got detected, kill everyone as fast as possible. Use the critical strike, katana or whatever you can snatch from the guards. You can also jump over the railings and play cat and mouse game with the guards. Keep them busying running instead of attacking you. You can attack them while they are busy running along the other side of the railings. Just keep jumping from side to side and attack them. If you hold this fight too long, there will be reinforcements and the guards will start using guns. So remember to kill the "backup calling" guard first. After everyone is dead, run up to the stage and pick up the Data Card from the dead Tekken Forces soldier. Pick up the Dotanuki as well. [Optional] Location: Projection Room Item: Meal Kit M Now, if you need an extra Meal Kit, here's an optional quest for you. Go up to the Projection Room. There will be 3 guards at the alcove of the Projection Room. Before you go out to the alcove, go to the Exhibition Match poster on the wall, press L3 and you can slowly fill your focus bar. This is because there is a guard behind the wall. Keep doing it until it's full. After you are done, just go out and kill them off. Grab the Meal Kit M and backtrack to the Yard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Yard Still remember the kung fu henchmen? If you didn't get ambushed by them before, it's better that you make your way to the broken fence and head to Central Control Access from the outer part of the Yard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Central Control Access Item: Data Card #4 There are 3 guards in this area, 1 patrolling towards and forth the T-junction (where the elevator is), 1 standing in front of the Guard Room window and 1 guard patrolling the hallway outside the Guard Room. The first patrolling guard won't be able to see you if you stand behind the column at the T-junction. Wait until he turns and walk away, sneak up from behind and snap his neck. For the guard at the window, wait for him to do some stretching, then stick to the left side of the wall, sneak up and snap his neck. Or you could just leave him alone and deal with the last guard first. There is a side quest, which requires him to be alive. As for the last patrolling guard, stand behind the iron fence gate and wait until his out of your sight. He should be behind the column, stick to the wall and sneak up to that column. Wait until his out of the hallway, then sneak up and snap his neck from behind. Now grab the Data Card from a dead Tekken Forces soldier nearby. Here's some optional quests you can do in any order you like. [Optional] Location: Guard Room There is no item in this room, but you can fill up your focus bar here. Just make sure that no one detects you yet and the guard at the window has to be alive. Go to the gate control panel and you can see the guard outside the window. You can fill up your focus bar from here. Once you're done, get out of the Guard Room. [Optional] Location: Visitors Room (West side) Items: Tactical Belt This is an optional quest to get the Tactical Belt, once you enter this room, you will hear a radio message, "we got them on camera". If you move further into the room, 3 guards will enter and attack you. To avoid this fight, exit and enter the room again. Now you can grab the Tactical Belt without worries. Now here's an interesting little info, if you leave the guard at the window alone and do the "exit and re-enter" trick, the guard will magically disappear. [Optional] Location: Contraband Room Item: Meal Kit M This is another optional quest to get the Meal Kit M, enter unless you got the focus bar filled and got plenty of health. There will be 5 kung fu henchmen waiting for you once you enter this room. The Meal Kit M can be found on the shelf. After you done these 2 optional quests, move towards the Lavatory. You will hear another radio message. Keep moving and 3 Kung Fu henchmen will rush towards you. Finish them off as well. Another optional quest awaits you at the Lavatory. [Optional] Location: Lavatory Item: Meal Kit M This is the last optional quest from the Central Control Access. There will be tons of guards mass orgy (just kidding) here so I won't advise you to enter this room unless you got more than 50% of health and plenty of focus. Besides, I don't think it's worth it to grab that Meal Kit M. Do it unless you really need that Meal Kit M. Once you are done with Central Control Access, let's head up the stairs and to the Cell Block Access -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Cell Block Access Item: Data Card #5 Meal Kit M Use stealth kill on the first guard you see. He will patrol and stop at 2 point in front of you. Stay at the huge wall painting, the guard can't see that far. When he stops for the first time, don't approach him yet, because there's another guard nearby. Wait until he stops at the second time and turns around, then sneak up behind and break his neck. The second guard will patrol towards and forth a bulk size guard. Since they are so close together, there's no way to stealth kill. Just let them spot you and kill them as fast as possible. Now, go up the staircase towards the area that is badly damage. There will be 2 guards here. One is patrolling alone the corridor and the other is standing. Wait at the staircase for the patrolling guards to turn around, then run up and stick to the side of the wall, sneak up and snap his neck. If you do it right, the standing guard won't be alerted. Sneak up and snap the standing guard as well. Or you could fill up your focus bar before killing him. Go pass cell 210 and you will see a dead Tekken Forces soldier, collect his ID Card and continue to move up the ramp. Hang onto the pipe and move across the third floor. Go into cell 309 and pick up a Meal Kit M. [Optional] Item: Tactical Belt If you killed every guard and already collected 2 Tactical Belts, I won't advice you to get another in this area, because the kung fu henchmen will ambush you on the way to get it. Besides, you don't need so many Tactical Belts for this mini game. But if you really want it badly, you can prevent getting ambush by them. Here's how to do it, after you had killed the guards on the ground floor, go up to the staircase towards the badly damage area. When you heard a radio message "We got them surrounded", instead of killing the guards on the 2nd floor, go back down and go up the other staircase. Go to where the save point (in Nina's game) is, that's where the Tactical Belt is located. Remember this golden rule: The kung fu henchmen will not appear if there are Enrique's guards in the same room. Once you are done with this area, move on to the Solitary - East Access and to the Interrogation Room. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Interrogation Room Item: Data Card #6 Here, you can see the 4 guards in the interrogation Room and the West Access. Open the gate and stick to side of the wall and move to the cart. The guards with the shield wouldn't see you at all so you can fill up your focus bar here. Wait until the guards at the West Access to walk away, then quickly sneak up to a shield guard and snap his neck. If you're lucky, the guards will only spot you after you kill one of them. Otherwise just continue to eliminate them. Go into the West Access and you can see another dead Tekken Forces soldier. Collect his Data Card and take the elevator from the Iron Maiden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: B2 Escape Route There are 3 robots in this area, 2 at the hallway towards Lukas' Lab and 1 at the hallway towards Boskonovitch's Quarters. The robots will activate only when you approach the doors. [Optional] Location: Lukas' Lab/Experimental Weapons Hangar (lower floor) Item: Meal Kit M Tactical Belt Pick up the Meal Kit M on the desk and return back to the previous area, if you want to grab the Tactical Belt, it's at the Experimental Weapons Hangar; there will be 2 guards in that area. And some Kung Fu henchmen will ambush you if you kill the guards. Like I said before, you don't need so many Tactical Belts. If you really need that Tactical Belt, let them spot you then quickly grab the Tactical Belt and run back to the Lab. Finish them off in the lab so that Kung Fu henchmen won't appear to ambush you. You will detect a faint signal but the dead Tekken Force soldier is located at the upper floor of the Hangar, you can't use the elevator here because it's damage. So just return to the Escape Route. After you are done with the optional quest, climb up the ladder and fight the last robot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Boskonovitch's Quarters/Boskonovitch's Lab Nothing special here, except that Nina took everything from the lockers! >=( Just keep moving and get to Alcove #3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Alcove #3 Item: Data Card #7 and #8 Katana There are 3 guards at the Alcove, wait at the hallway for the guard at the left to turn around. Sneak up behind the guard and snap his neck. Otherwise, just ambush him and snatch his Stun Baton. Eliminate any other alerted guards as well. Go towards the Experimental Weapons Hangar and you can see 2 dead Tekken Forces soldiers, collect their Data Card. There is a Katana but take it only when you got an extra space for the Dotanuki. Now you got 2 areas that you must go, but you can do it in any order you like. [Task #1] Location: Experimental Weapons Hangar (upper floor) Item: Data Card #9 Dotanuki I suggest you enter this area if you got Dotanuki and Focus bar filled, because there are 4 robots here and 2 guards patrolling around. Lucky for you, one of the guards is walking away from you. Quickly sneak up behind and snap his neck. Learn the route of the next guard, then sneak up from behind and snap his neck too. The robots will only active when you approach the dead Tekken Forces soldier. Finish them off with Dotanuki and Critical Strike. [Task #2] Location: Alcove #2 Item: Data Card #10 Dotanuki This is the place where Anna fights Nina for the first time. But the bridge is destroyed and you cannot pass. But there is a dead Tekken Forces soldier, collect his Data Card and pick up the Dotanuki too. When you return to Alcove #3, there will be 4 new guards; they are quipped with the 44-caliber Magnum, so watch out. Lure them into a corner and finishing them off with Tonfa or Katana. Once you finish these 2 tasks, go to the Chemical Weapons Storage Access -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Chemical Weapons Storage Access There are 3 guards here. Wait at the middle of the stairs for the first guard to appear, when he turns around, sneak up and snap his neck. Another guard will be patrolling on the other stretch of the hallway. Hide behind the corner and sneak up to kill him too. The final guard will be standing at the door at the end of the hallway, there's no way to stealth kill him. Wait until he turns his sight to another direction, then run up to him and finish him as quick as possible. Here's some optional quest you can do in any order you like. [Optional] Location: Pump Room Item: Meal Kit M Getting this item is a must, since there is no ambush in this room. Pick up the Meal Kit M and return to the hallway. [Optional] Location: Chemical Weapons Storage Room Item: Tactical Belt Once again, you don't need so many Tactical Belts, but this optional quest is very safe, I guess there's no harm getting it. Go around the area and find the Tactical Belt on the shelf near the fire alarm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Experiment Pool Item: Data Card #11 There are 3 guards here. 1 Stun Baton guard standing in front of the dead Tekken Forces Soldier and 2 armed guards standing at exit. There is a place where you can fill up your focus bar. Go to the control panel (which is destroyed by Lukas in Nina's game), and keep pressing the L3 button until your focus bar is full. This is because you are standing near one of the guards. These guards are impossible to stealth kill so let them spot you instead. Finish them off as quickly as possible. If you got space for melee weapons, make sure to snatch the Stun Baton; it could come in handy. Once you are done, collect the Data Card and leave. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Alcove #1 (bottom) There are 3 guards here. Stick to the corner of the wall and observe the situation. The guards can't spot you from here. There will be two armed guards patrolling toward and forth a Tonfa guard. The Tonfa guard is doing some stretching and he won't walk around at all, so he will be your first target. Wait for armed guards to move away, then sneak up and snap the Tonfa guard's neck. Now run back to the corner and wait for one of the armed guard to stop. When he turns around, sneak up and snap his neck too. If you kill every guard here, 3 Kung Fu henchmen will appear out of nowhere to attack you. If you don't want that to happen, you must let the last armed guard live. Learn his route and sneak pass him. Go to the ladder and climb up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Guard Station Item: Data Card #12 This is another area where you can't stealth kill. There are 2 batches of guards in this place, 2 guards at the exit and 2 more guards at the Guard Station. If you alerted the guards at the exit, the guards at the guard station won't come and reinforce. However, if you alerted the guards at the Station, the guards at the exit will come and reinforce. Go towards the Station and you can see the 2 guards. Let them spot you and just kill them as quickly as possible. You can go into the Station and attack them while they try to enter. Go down the stairs further more and collect the Data Card from the dead Tekken Forces Soldier. Now that you collected every Data Cards, get to the Pier alive! As you try to move up, you will be ambush by 2 Kung Fu henchmen, so finish them off too. Once you are done, go up and exit through the gate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Alcove #1 (top) This is another area where you can't stealth kill. Just finish the guards off as quickly as possible. Make sure you got some weapons with you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Cargo Lift/Pier Nothing special here, except the nudy magazine is taken away by Nina! =( Just go to the upper level using the cargo lift. There will be 3 shield guards outside the pier. Ironically, they can spot you through the fence. If that happens, they will enter to fight you so attack them while they are still at the door. If you kill the guards inside, there will be 3 Kung Fu henchmen ambushing you when you go out. Here's how you can prevent them from appear, avoid detection from inside. Wait for the patrolling guards to move away, then sneak up to the door and open it. Get out and pass through the gate, then rush towards the pier. You can see an orange marking on the floor, stay there and finish them off. After you finished the guards, it's not time to celebrate yet; 5 more Kung Fu henchmen will appear to attack you! Fighting these 5 Kung Fu henchmen is unavoidable, so do your best and eliminate them all! Once you are victorious, move to the orange marker and press the X button. You finally escape this damn place! Lastly, don't forget to save your data when the game prompts you to. ================================================================================ 07.
