1. INTRODUCTION
-----------------
This is my second mini FAQ for Sonic Adventure 2. Overall, it's my fourth
ever. If you cant tell, I am utterly and completely copying the format for
my Upgrade FAQ. You can find the Upgrade FAQ at www.gamefaqs.com so go check
it out now! I'm making this FAQ for the SA2 board once again in hopes of
less of the everything topics. I think my upgrade FAQ hit a lot of people
considering I got 30 emails about it in the first day. Let me remind you all
that an FAQ of this proportion will take a long time to complete. I hope to
add a little bit day by day and maybe I can complete it within the month.
Hopefully this FAQ will have the same impact. If your looking for a review or
something, I can give you my 2 cents. Sonic Adventure 2 is a wonderful game
which is plagued by some camera issues. I'd give it an 8.5/10 but it's worth
the cash to buy. Yes. I do realize hunting sucks. That's why I'm making this
FAQ so I can do the hunting for you! Alright, we'll go for the hunting now!

3. CONTROLS
-------------
A. Knuckles
-----------
Jumping: A basic skill done by pressing the A button. It seems that the
longer you hold the A button, the higher Knuckles actually jumps.
Digging: There are 2 different ways to go at digging. First, you can climb
on walls and press B to dig into the wall. If you are looking at
digging into the ground, you'll need to jump above the spot you
would like to dig and press B mid-air to dig into the ground.
Digging requires Knuckles Shovel Claw which can be found in Pumpkin
Hill.
Attacking: Attacking doesn't come easy when controlling Knuckles, but it is
simple enough to defeat even the toughest of enemies. X or B will
do a single attack. Tapping these twice will do a double punch
type attack, and hitting it a third time will add an uppercut to the
mix. Of course, running attacks also work with the third hit
turning into a dive at your enemy. One of the most useful attacks
would be gliding into enemies. This usually makes taking out the
enemies much more effective as long as you dont get caught in any
line of fire.
Flying: Flying is the most basic skill in the game. While in air, hit and
hold A while controlling your character to fly around. Flying is
the most efficient way of traveling for Knuckles.
Climbing: Simply jump or fly into a wall and Knuckles will automatically begin
climbing up the wall. Knuckles can climb in any direction which
allows him to reach higher leveled items.
B. Rouge
--------
Jumping: A basic skill done by pressing the A button. It seems that the
longer you hold the A button, the higher Rouge actually jumps.
Digging: There are 2 different ways to go at digging. First, you can climb
on walls and press B to dig into the wall. If you are looking at
digging into the ground, you'll need to jump above the spot you
would like to dig and press B mid-air to dig into the ground.
Digging requires Rouges Pick Nails which can be found in Egg
Quarters.
Attacking: Attacking doesn't come easy when controlling Rouge, but it is
simple enough to defeat even the toughest of enemies. X or B will
do a single attack. Tapping these twice will do a double punch
type attack, and hitting it a third time will add a high kick to the
mix. Of course, running attacks also work with the third hit
turning into a dive at your enemy. One of the most useful attacks
would be gliding into enemies. This usually makes taking out the
enemies much more effective as long as you dont get caught in any
line of fire.
Flying: Flying is the most basic skill in the game. While in air, hit and
hold A while controlling your character to fly around. Flying is
the most efficient way of traveling for Rouge.
Climbing: Simply jump or fly into a wall and Rouge will automatically begin
climbing up the wall. Rouge can climb in any direction which
allows her to reach higher leveled items.

4. CHARACTER UPGRADES
-----------------------
Considering I already have written these in my Upgrades FAQ, I'll simply
copy and paste.
A. Knuckles
-----------
Item: Mystic Melody
Location: Wild Canyon
Requirements: Shovel Claw
What It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines
that unveils new paths that usually lead to the lost Chao.
These also allow shortcuts occasionally.
Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems
How To Get: Make your way up the Thermal Lift type thing (thats just what
I call it) and head to the left (or right, depending which way
you are facing). Fly over to the lonely statue and way above his
head is a picture. Dig through the Oval type shape in the center
to find a secret room with Knuckles Mystic Melody. Use it on the
shrine to create a warp that leads you back to the starting room.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Shovel Claw
Location: Pumpkin Hill
Requirements: None
What It Does: Without a doubt the most useful upgrade for Knuckles, this
allows you to dig through walls and floors to find some of the
pieces of the emerald (or keys depending on which level).
Without this, you won't make it past Pumpkin Hill.
Difficulty: Extremely Easy - REQUIRED to finish level
How To Get: Look straight ahead from you and you will see the Shovel Claw.
All you need to do is fly or walk across the ledge to get over
to the "island" and pick up this simple upgrade.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Air Necklace
Location: Aquatic Mine
Requirements: None
What It Does: Another useful upgrade for our little red echidna is the air
necklace. The air necklace allows infinite air while swimming
underwater. You'll have a VERY tough time beating the final
level without this item, so I suggest you pick it up on your
first time through this level.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for final stage
How To Get: The first thing you need to do for this upgrade is getting the
water level lowered. Walk straight forward at the beginning of
the level, crawl up that central structure (water powered lift),
and grab the crane lift to get up to the highest floor. Find the
level 3 water switch and hit it to make life a little easier. Go
down into the level again and look for a long pipe type
structure with 2 caution signs plastered near the top of it. Go
down the pipe and if you see a spring at the bottom, continue on.
If theres only an opening and no spring, go to the other side of
the level (should be kitty cornered) and drop down that one. Hop
into a water and now is when the fun begins. As fast as you can,
swim through the path. Soon you'll come to a small room with
some wooden planks at the bottom. Quickly and carefully swim
through them and swim through another pipe. Now quickly swim
straight up and hope you dont run out of air. At the top is a
small room with the air necklace.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Hammer Gloves
Location: Death Chamber
Requirements: None
What It Does: Allows you to destroy metal boxes. Destroying the boxes can
help you find extra rings, animals, shortcuts, and even upgrades
for some characters. These are required to complete the level.
Difficulty: Easy - REQUIRED to finish level
How To Get: At the beginning of the level, use the hourglass to go through
the door. Turn to your right in the hallway to see some crates.
Break through them and located behind are the Hammer Gloves.
You can now get through the 2 paths with metal crates in the main
room and continue on with your hunting quest.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Sunglasses
Location: Meteor Herd
Requirements: Hammer Gloves
What It Does: Allows you to see hidden pictures and hidden items. Required to
get most Hard Mode emblems (5th emblem for each Knuckles level)
I recommened you pick up this upgrade right away considering it
is fairly easy to get and comes very useful. Out of all of
Knuckles upgrades, this one is the coolest.
Difficulty: Medium - REQUIRED for most Hard Mode emblems
How To Get: There are actually 2 ways to get this upgrade. I would suggest
using the way that seems easier for you. Straight in front of
you is a circular type platform (located directly under where
you fight Rouge in the next level) with 6 doors with red slashes
on them. Use the nearby meteors by smashing them into the doors
to find a metal box with a switch. The door you need has the
meteor a fairly large distance away. You can either:
A) Get a good start and smash that meteor as hard as you can into
the door
OR you can
B) Softly tap one of the other meteors around and place it as
well as you can in front of the door. Then you can smash it
into the door.
Either way, once you open the door, break the box and hit the
switch. This will remove the floor from the force-fielded walls
in front of you. Fly up and over the force field walls and fall
down into the newly opened area. On the bottom platform should
be located the upgrade. Pop on the sunglasses by using the Y
button to shuffle through your B list. Then hit B to put them
on to see some hidden surprises nearby.
_______________________________________________________________________________
B. Rouge
--------
Item: Mystic Melody
Location: Dry Lagoon
Requirements: Pick Nails
What It Does: Allows you to play a melody in front of certain ancient shrines
that unveils new paths that usually lead to the lost Chao.
These also allow shortcuts occasionally.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium - REQUIRED to get 3rd level emblems
How To Get: In the starting room, look around for a picture to crawl through.
It should look like the ones you ran across in Egg Quarters and
Knuckles' Death Chamber levels. Anyways, there should be 2
pictures in the room you start in. One is uncovered while the
other is hidden behind some boxes way up on the top. Find the
uncovered one which is a little bit lower than the covered one.
Once you find it, crawl in and grab the Mystic Melody. Play it
on the shrine to create a warp and continue on through the level.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Pick Nails
Location: Egg Quarters
Requirements: None
What It Does: Without a doubt the most useful upgrade for Rouge, this allows
you to dig through walls and floors to find some of the pieces
of the emerald (or keys depending on which level). Without this,
you won't make it past Egg Quarters.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium - REQUIRED to finish level
How To Get: At the start of the level, go forward through the hallway while
watching out for the beetle robot. When safe, continue through
the next room with 2 robot enemies and through another hallway.
When you get to the room with the rocket, set the rocket off and
go through the wall it opens up. Located at the far end of the
room is the upgrade. Please be careful as there is a trap in the
center of the room waiting to crush you if you dont go around it.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Treasure Scope
Location: Security Hall
Requirements: Iron Boots, Mystic Melody
What It Does: Allows you to see hidden pictures and hidden items. Required to
get most Hard Mode emblems (5th emblem for each Knuckles level)
I recommened you pick up this upgrade as soon as you get the
Boots and the Melody, because it comes in handy.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How To Get: The first thing you'll need to do is get on the Yellow floor which
I believe is floor B and the center floor. Anyways, run to the
end nearest the beginning and you should see a Shrine. Obviously,
play the Mystic Melody and a line of platforms will appear walk or
jump across these into the door and continue to find the Treasure
Scope. Put it on by cycling through your B list with the Y button
and you will see a free life in the corner of the room you found
it.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Item: Iron Boots
Location: Mad Space
Requirements: None
What It Does: Allows you to destroy metal boxes. Destroying the boxes can
help you find extra rings, animals, shortcuts, and even upgrades
for some characters. These are required to complete the level.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
How To Get: This one is tough to explain, but I'll do the best I can. Here
is a short walkthrough on getting it from beginning to end. At
the beginning, go to one of the 3 connected platforms with the
switch. The switch puts a rocket on a platform above. Climb up
and use the rocket to get on a big green asteroid. Look around
for a smaller asteroid (still rather large) that looks sort of
like the moon. Fly down to it and look in the enclosement in the
center of the asteroid to find the upgrade.

5. TIPS
---------
When looking for emeralds, following some easy tips will make it much easier
for you. Submit any helpful tips you have to <
[email protected]>
- Make sure to get full usage out of your radar. The radar is one of the
useful tools in finding the different pieces of emerald/keys.
- Collect upgrades as soon as you can because they allow you to find hidden
items and dig for what you need.
- When in Dry Lagoon/Wild Canyon on easy remember you won't have to dig on
normal mode.
- When you hunt, remember to dig for useful underground pieces and possible
powerups or rings.
- Use hints at the hint monitors! They help an awful lot.
- Can't find an emerald? If you have the extra lives, die and the emerald will
move to a new place for your finding.
- Going for an A rank? Look at no more than 1 hint for each emerald or your
score will suffer. If in hard mode, use no hints and speed through the
emeralds if you want to get the A.
- When going for A ranks, don't worry too much about rings but instead go for
speed and dont use many hints.

6. LOCATIONS (NORMAL MODE)
----------------------------
Locations are in no apparent order. I will remind you right now that emerald
locations are random so this FAQ will explain how to get to them from the
beginning of each level. Use hints around you to find the location on this
FAQ. Send all submissions to <

and time attack emblems for each level. If these are not completed you will
not be able to attempt Hard Mode. The emeralds are always the same and not

closely resembles an X. This was also found for emerald
reference number 4 (normal mode) if you have trouble finding it.
This time instead of the emerald being in the enemies grasp, it
will be located directly UNDER the X. The reason this is hard to
get is because you will frequently bump your head on the bottom
of the X and fall while trying to get it. The camera doesn't
help on this either. The easiest way to grab it is when you are
flying at it from a distance. Fly towards it and grab it to get
the first emerald in hard mode.

the level get to the big room with all the pressure things and big
core, go down in the lower section of this room. Look for that all
famous shrine and play the Mystic Melody. Go down in the big water
room and look for an hourglass guarded by a ghost. Go over to it and
hit it. Book it across to the other side of the room going in as
straight of a line as you can to get under the wall right before it
closes. Keep going forward through the next room and you should see
an opening near the ceiling. Swim up and in to the room of the Chao.
Climb up on to the overhang above your head. Hit the switch and
quickly climb up to the overhang above that. You should have JUST
enough time to grab the Chao.
Fourth Mission: Collect the keys in 5 minutes 0 seconds!
- Just do this as fast as you can. It isn't as hard as it may seem if
you practice.

Emerald Reference Number: H1
Level: Death Chamber
Character: Knuckles
Hint 1: Invisible ground.
Hint 2: The room with no enterance.
Hint 3: Dig in the center of the room using the hourglass.
Requirements: Shovel Claw
Difficulty: Medium
Where it is: At the beginning of the level, hit the hourglass and head down the
path to your left. Keep going down this path until you get to a
metal type room with 2 hint screens and a spiky enemy that will
hurt you if you dont watch out. In this room is also a painting
on the wall you can dig through. Dig through the oval part on to
the other side. Once in the other side, destroy the 2 enemies
shooting at you and look around. You should see 3 enclosements
blocked over by metal crates. One should look like a sliding
platform should come out of the base because, well, a sliding
platform DOES come out of the base. Anyways, hit the hourglass
and this platform should pop out allowing you enough time to
destroy the metal boxes and get in to the enclosement. Inside
you should see yet another hourglass. Bump this hourglass and
real quick run to the center of the room and dig through the floor
before the door closes to get this key.

Emerald Reference Number: H2
Level: Death Chamber
Character: Knuckles
Hint 1: There is a black cockroach on the table.
Hint 2: Underwater.
Hint 3: In a secret underwater room in a hole in the Pyramid Core floor.
Requirements: Air Necklace, Mystic Melody
Difficulty: Hard
Where it is: I sure do hate this key! Remember where the lost chao was? You'll
be going back there for the rest of your stay in this level. At
the beginning of the level, hit the hourglass and run forwards
through the door in front of you. Go through the long hallway
until you get to the room with 2 robots. Either carefully ignore
them and run through or you can attack them for some points. Hit
the hourglass at the top part of this room and quickly break the
metal crates in front of you and climb up the wall before the door
closes at the top. Once through there you should be in a big room
with lots of metal things and what looks like the core of the
Pyramid Base. Fall down to the bottom section of this level and
run around until you spot the shrine to play your mystic melody
at. Play it and fall down in to the newly opened area to be in a
big underwater room. Swim around until you find an hourglass
guarded by a small ghost. Ignore the ghost and hit the hourglass.
Now as fast as you can and in as straight of a line as you can,
swim to the door on the opposite side of the room. You should
just barely make it through before it closes. Now, being quick
yet again, hit the hourglass below you in the new room and swim
through avoiding the lasers the robot is shooting at you. Once
through, head through the room of ghosts. There shouldnt be any
real threat in this room. Swim in to the final room where the key
is and once again avoid fire and keep swimming forward. The key
is behind the chest type structure in the back of the room.
Watch out when you are getting it though because it is guarded by
a spiked enemy!

Hint 1: Double sliding floor.
Hint 2: Inverted underwater room.

Requirements: Air Necklace, Mystic Melody
Difficulty: Hard
Where it is: **IF YOU JUST GOT THE 2ND KEY AND ARE STILL IN THE UNDERWATER ROOM
STAY THERE AND IGNORE THIS FIRST PART OF THE LOCATION!**
Remember where the lost chao was? You'll be going back there for
the rest of your stay in this level. At the beginning of the
level, hit the hourglass and run forwards through the door in
front of you. Go through the long hallway until you get to the
room with 2 robots. Either carefully ignore them and run through
or you can attack them for some points. Hit the hourglass at the
top part of this room and quickly break the metal crates in front
of you and climb up the wall before the door closes at the top.
Once through there you should be in a big room with lots of metal
things and what looks like the core of the Pyramid Base. Fall
down to the bottom section of this level and run around until you
spot the shrine to play your mystic melody at. Play it and fall
down in to the newly opened area to be in a big underwater room.
Swim around until you find an hourglass guarded by a small ghost.
Ignore the ghost and hit the hourglass. Now as fast as you can and
in as straight of a line as you can, swim to the door on the
opposite side of the room. You should just barely make it through
before it closes. Now, being quick yet again, hit the hourglass
below you in the new room and swim through avoiding the lasers the
robot is shooting at you. Once through, head through the room of
ghosts. There shouldnt be any real threat in this room. Swim in
to the final room.
**ALRIGHT, PEOPLE IN THE ROOM CAN COME BACK NOW!**
Once in the final room, look around the ceiling and swim up in to
a hole. This hole will be where you found the lost chao! Anyways
go up and your first task will be to turn off the trap that closes
you in. To do that, swim in to the room and climb up the wall
above the trap. Once at the very very top of the wall, climb
around to the other side of the small, highest alcove to find the
switch. Hit it and you will have disabled the trap. Now, fall
back down to where you entered the room and look forward. You
should see a hourglass inside of a small alcove on the lowest
ledge above. Climb up and hit the hourglass and QUICKLY swim down
in to the final room of the underwater passage and near the bottom
of the room near where you entered it should be two doors slowly
closing right above the floor. Swim in and grab the key before
they close.

------------------------
Complete the following to get to Hard mode for Meteor Herd.

the ledge with the shrine on it. Play the mystic melody to open a
warp. Jump in the warp and you should fall down the inside of a
building to another shrine. Play the mystic melody once again and
fall down another building to find the lost Chao sitting right in front
of you.

large structure you can climb. It's the same structure where you
fought Rouge/Knuckles in earlier battles. It's the structure
of beams in the very center of the stage. Glide over to it and
climb up to the top. Stand on the corner and look around on the
other 3 corners. Find the one with the spring and take it up.
Glide at your peak on to the highest platform you can glide to.
This platform should have a spring and 3 boxes and a long ledge.
Head over to the long ledge and inch over on it. It has a free
life on it so you know you are on the right ledge. Put on your
sunglasses and run to the spring at the end to be sprung up in to
the air. At the peak of your spring, glide to be at the perfect
height to get this emerald piece.

to the structure with lots of bars. Its the same structure as
where you fought Rouge/Knuckles. Anyways, climb up to the top
and stand on one of the corners at the top. You should see 3
other corners and one should have a spring. Hit the one with
the spring to fly up to another platform. This platform should
have 3 boxes, a ledge, and a free life. It's the same one
as where you found the second emerald. Take the spring up and
glide over to the blue type structures. Fly over to the side of
the deep platform and climb up on top. There should be a rocket
that will take you up to the ARK ship! Just what you need!
Either cling on to the wall and climb around or land on the
platform and glide. Either way, glide around the bottom
platforms until you find the one with the flying type enemy.
Stand on here and put on your sunglasses to find another spring.
Walk over to it and glide at the peak to find this emerald
piece!

Character: Rouge
Hint 1: A cage you can't open.
Hint 2: Machine's path.
Hint 3: Try breaking the cage with something...
Requirements: None
Difficulty: Medium
Where it is: There are actually 2 ways to do this, even though one is real
tough. For both ways, begin by hitting the hourglass in front of
you and running forward. Duck in the shadow quickly at the end
of the hallway to avoid the bug and then jump up the stairs. Once
at the top, you should come to a small hallway where you will see
the key trapped in a box with a monkey throwing huge bombs down.
You could try to be a tough guy and let the big monkey throw bombs
and EVENTUALLY one would get close enough to open the box, or you
could do it the easy way. The easy way requires you to go in the
next room and take the path on the left side. You should see a
monkey trapped in a crate. Use the rocket to break open the crate
and pick up one of the bombs the monkey throws. Run back to the
cage and throw the bomb at it to find this key.

wall blocked by crates. Break any crates you can and climb up the
pedestals located around the room. Being very careful, find the
one with the monkey that actually throws bombs and pick up one of
his bombs. Take it over to the crates and set/throw it next to it
to break the crates. Dig in to the tail of the scorpion on the
left side of the painting to find this key.

play some more, I hope to give a good walkthrough for this one.
Anyways, find the Egg Snake Chamber as best you can. It's one of
the rooms that looks like the one you start in. Once you are
there, go in to the adjacent hallway to find a bomb-throwing
monkey up near the ceiling. Put on your sunglasses and then pick
up one of the bombs quickly. Take it back into the Egg Snake
Chamber to see a spring on the elevated slightly on the stairs
and ledge. Simply walk in to it and you will go up in to a small
