INTRODUCTION
This guide is based around my favorite feature of the game: medals. When it
is completed, I will be able to tell you how to get each and every medal.
Since it will cover all the medals when in completed form, this guide will
also cover all thirty-six multiplayer levels, as well as the four bosses. It
will also cover what awards you get when you receive certain numbers of medals
(character skins, cheats, ranks). I hope you get as much as possible out of
this guide.
If there is anything in the video gaming world that I absolutely hate, it's a
cheater. For example, I will never tell you to put a rubber band around the Z
button on controllers 2 – 4 and play a multi game to get a medal. My
strategies are exactly that: strategies.
In the event that you get a medal (and even if you don't, in my opinion)
you've GOT TO MAKE SURE YOU SAVE YOUR MATCH. If you don't, your kill, death,
win, and medal counts will never go up, only stay the same. Also, when you
are saving, make sure no one turns it off, or you'll damage your character
(that's what happened to me).
To earn an achievement medal, you must win a level twice in a row. For the
bloodlust and team levels, this means getting the most kills out of everyone
twice in a row on the same level. For a Monkey Tag level, you have to get the
most tags twice in a row on the same level, and for a capture the flag level,
get the most flags. The sections on achievement medals below explain what you
should do to win each level. You will have to execute each of these
strategies twice in a row in order to get the medal for a level.
For 45 of the 50 medals (all except Bastille, Syra, Symbiont, and Tal Set) you
MUST BE PLAYING AGAINST AT LEAST ONE HUMAN PLAYER!!! If you are playing
against just bots, don't expect a medal, because you won't get one.
The boss medals (Bastille, Syra, Symbiont, Tal Set) are a lot easier if you
have lots of lives. Make sure to play every level leading up to them so as to
uncover as many eagle talismans as possible (and any other talismans, for that
matter).

to do over the next few days…
7-14-00: In the course of getting back my other 15 medals, I have earned the
Not Being Killed in a Round medal, so I added that today. Only five more to
go (the boss medals and Starlight). I hope to be back on track soon!

completing it with his help via e-mail.
I finished the Skins section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEDALS
And now on to the bulk of the guide…
------------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON PROVING GROUNDS
------------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Any, Any, Any, Any, Scorpion Launcher
This one is fairly easy. Make sure you stock up on ammo in the center room;
it has a bullet pickup, and energy pickup, a 50 health, and PFM mines. Then
take the explosive rounds in the red/green doorway. When you peek at your
opponent's screen(s), look at the color of the room they are in, and then go
there. If you are traveling through the corner rooms with the center to your
left, they are in this order: red, blue, blue, green, red, blue, blue, green,
etc., and vice versa if you are going in the opposite direction. Take the
power core anytime you are near it, because it doesn't take much to get to it.
As soon as you take it, find someone and kill them.
-------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON CROSSROADS
-------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Mag 60, Minigun, Any, Any, Grenades
There is a sentry turret on the top level, as well as two 25 healths and an
iron claw. Take the turret and the healths, and the claw if you really want
it. Then go to the middle and jump down. Plant the turret right in the
middle of the intersection and you're all set. Just run wild and kill anyone
you see, going for the health on the top level whenever you need it.
Occasionally check to see if the turret is still there, and when it isn't, go
back, get it, and plant it again. Remember that the explosive rounds are in
the middle, and a bullet and an energy pickup are in each corner on the lower
level.
------------------
ACIEVEMENT ON PREY
------------------
Suggested Weapons: Mag 60, Assault Rifle, Any, Any, Scorp/Gren Launcher
A little note: I got this while playing a 30 minute, 80 kill game.
There is a cerebral bore on the top level, as well as PFM mines. Don't use
the mines, because they take too much time, and you might just end up killing
yourself or your buddy. Take the cerebral bore, use it on someone from the
top, and then hit them with explosives. If your teammate is in the fray, make
sure the bore doesn't lock on him, and use the Mag 60's laser sight instead of
explosives. You should be able to do this indefinitely as long as you watch
your back to make sure someone doesn't sneak up the ladder behind you. If you
do run low on health, there is health in the corner under you and to the right,
and in the opposite corner as well. If anyone gets in your way, hit them with
the rapid-fire of the assault rifle. If you reach the 80 kill limit before
time runs out, and you get about 10 more kills than your teammate, you most
likely will get the medal.
A second strategy, maybe a little easier: There is a bullet round pickup
under the above-mentioned Cerebral Bore, located in an alcove. Stand in
there, assault rifle in hand, on secondary function (rapid-fire). Blow anyone
away that dares to come near. If you fall below 70 – 75 health, run for the
health (also mentioned above, back and right). If your partner (who should be
using the above strategy) gets "slow time", then circle around the back of some
someone and kill 'em.
---------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON WATER TEMPLE
---------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Assault Rifle, Mag 60, Boomerang, Plasma Rifle, Napalm Gel
I know this sounds mean, but stealing your bud's kills with the rapid fire of
the plasma rifle scope can help. In fact, I got this one and the sniping
medal at the same time. Use the Mag 60's laser sight often, since this level
is fairly closed-in. The Assault rifle is excellent for someone who is stuck
in one of the many corners of the level. Corner them, and then blow them
away. Don't forget the 50 health in the water, and don't go in the green
water, because it takes away your ammo. One of my favorite strategies is to
go to the room with the power core, and sit on top of the energy round pickup
until I have 200 rounds, plasma rifle in hand. If anyone dares enter the
room, I turn on the sniper scope and let 'em have it!. Once I've got 200,
I'll go to the opposite corner for the bullets (once), and then go into the
room with the green water, taking the health and explosive rounds. Continue
up the ramp to get the Iron Claw, and then get the power core. Go into the
water for the 50 health, and you should be all set! Find someone and kill
'em! Once you run low on health/ammo, go back to the power core room and
repeat the stocking procedure. With this strategy, you should be able to get
this medal no problem.
---------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON EARTH TEMPLE
---------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Any, Any, Any, Any, Scorpion
Aggressiveness is the key to this level, as well as a knack for scorpion
launcher sniping. Repeatedly take the explosive rounds and power core, and
then use the scorpion launcher for the far-away targets, and a plasma rifle or
bullet weapon for the near targets. After each kill, run down the corner
corridors and take the health, and then the bullet or energy rounds on the
other side. Simple.
--------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON FIRE TEMPLE
--------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Assault Rifle, Mag 60, Boomerang, Plasma Rifle, Napalm Gel
There are a lot of corners that the boomerang goes around very well, and there
is a sniping spot for the plasma rifle above the zigzag pathway. Her Mag 60
and assault rifle are excellent close range weapons, and you'll be having a few
up close and personal confrontations on this level. There is a small
triangular platform with explosive rounds on it, and you can sit there and
stick napalm gel bombs onto anyone that runs by. After they're dead, jump
across and take the health. Know where everything is (this may take a while;
try the 30 minute 80 kill game to figure the level out), and know how to reach
the power core. To get it, you have to go to the large room with the lava.
Face the lava, and to your right there will be an alcove. Go into it and climb
up the wall. This will take you to the sniping area mentioned earlier. Drop
down onto the walkway, and jump to the two platforms to get the power core.
----------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON THE PIT
----------------------
Suggested Weapons: Assault Rifle, Minigun, Flare Gun, Inflator, Grenades
The Grenade Launcher is an excellent weapon for this level – you can almost
hit any spot in the level from anywhere if you know how. Since there are two
power cores, you can take one, drop down, and take the other. If there is a
sniper on a ledge at the top, go to the opposite ledge, and peg with the
charged inflator. If all else fails, run around and go for mass kills.
------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON BREAKDOWN
------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Assault Rifle, Mag 60, Boomerang, Plasma Rifle, Napalm Gel
Use the Drone. After you go through the warp, use the sniper mode on the
plasma rifle to get anyone trying to get the health. Then go get it yourself.
The Boomerang is excellent for this level. I can't really figure out why, but
it served me well. The Assault Rifle is a good close range weapon, possibly my
favorite, especially for this map. The platform with the elevator has a
Cerebral Bore on it. Use it frequently. As with the Pit, run around for mass
kills.
------------------------
ACHIEVEMENT ON STARLIGHT
------------------------
Suggested Weapons: Shotgun, Minigun, Any, Any, Grenades
There are two ramps extending from the center floor; one leading up, and one
leading down. Stand on the one leading down (very short) with Shotgun in
hand, secondary function charged. Anytime the ammo pops up in front of you,
go get it. As soon as you see someone without a green triangle, blast 'em
with the Street Sweeper, and finish them off with regular shells. Then get
the ammo and repeat. If you fall below 60 – 65 health, switch to the minigun.
Run ahead and to the right, activating the shield (tap B) if anyone comes
nearby. You should see a platform with health on it (if it's not there, wait
for it). Take the health, and then turn to face the hall with the power core.
Run through it to the health on the other side. Switch back to the shotgun on
the way back to your camp-out spot, and charge up the Street Sweeper again.
Repeat this strategy until the game is over.
------------------------------
ATTAINED 15 FRAGS IN 5 MINUTES
------------------------------
Choose a small, single level map, like proving grounds, and use the raptor.
Set the limits to 15 Frags, and 5 Minutes. Run like crazy through the level
trying to kill everyone. "Everyone" should mean two easy bots and a friend.
This one is surprisingly easy if you know how to get to anyplace in the level
ASAP. Don't take the health or power core, just run, run, RUN!!!
-------------------------------
ATTAINED 25 FRAGS IN 10 MINUTES
-------------------------------
See above, except that I got this on Fire Temple.
-------------------------
KILLING YOUR SELF 5 TIMES
-------------------------
Self explanatory.
Since I don't think anyone actually _wants_ this medal here's how _not_ to get
it: Don't use explosives in small spaces, don't jump into bottomless pits,
don't fall into the lava. Simple.
----------------
TOTAL FRAG AWARD
----------------
Once you have 1000 kills, you earn this medal. Have a sleep-over with a bunch
of friends and do nothing but play Rage Wars until 1:00 am if you want this
medal real fast; otherwise just be patient, it will come in time.
If you want a tip on getting quick frags, go to the "other notes" section at
the bottom.
----------------------------
SNIPING 10 PEOPLE IN A ROUND
----------------------------
Set the kill limit to 100, and set the time limit to 40 minutes or more.
Choose a plasma rifle as one of your weapons, and use it very often. Remember
that you don't have to be far away to snipe. As long as you are using the
sniper scope (push B), it counts as a sniping kill, even if you are five feet
away. It also helps to play a level you've played many times before.
---------------------------
NOT BEING KILLED IN A ROUND
---------------------------
Set the time to 10 minutes, and the kills to 20. It would be preferable to
play a team game, though not necessary. Go for the health after almost every
kill, and you're going to have to reach 20 kills before time is up, otherwise
the game will most likely label you a coward and not give you the medal.
You're really going to have to be racking up the kills. Strafe a lot to dodge
enemy fire, and anytime you have the opportunity, go for that power core.
Suicides count, so be careful!
-----------------
DEFEATED BASTILLE
-----------------
Get as many bullet rounds as possible from the lower level, minimizing damage.
Make sure Bastille has seen you (if he hasn't already), and then run into one
or the corridors on the sides of the level. Wait at the top of the ramp, and
when you see him at the bottom, turn the corner. Wait about midway through
the hallway. As soon as you see him, blast him with the most rapid fire
weapon you've got. If you have the minigun personal shield upgrade, use it!
Just make sure you take the energy round hallway to the top, and not the
explosive round hallway. Once his shield goes down, he'll drop; this is the
time for you to decrease his life. Just keep hitting him until he gets back
up. Then turn around and book it towards the 50 health on the crate, take the
bullet rounds below, and a 25 health if you need it, and you should be all
set. Repeat this process until he's dead (or you're dead).
When I beat him with Oblivion Spawn, I had no rapid-fire weapon. In that
case, you'll have to battle him in the arena below, and hope for the best.
--------------
DEAFEATED SYRA
--------------
Take Warclubs down to almost no life, but don't kill him. Then go kill Syra,
who I find likes to hang out on the upper level. Then finish off Warclubs.
If you don't kill them within roughly 60 seconds of each other, the dead one
will come back and you'll have to kill him/her again. Not much involved; once
you realize what you have to do, it's a piece of cake.
Note: If you have an inflator, that skinny Syra can become a nice wide
target!
-----------------
DEFEATED SYMBIONT
-----------------
The first thing you have to do is figure out which on is the real Symbiont.
The real one looks a little different than the other three, so stay far away
and wait for them to group together. Once you've figured out which one it is,
then go in and blast him. Just get in his face and do as much damage as you
can before you go down.
----------------
DEFEATED TAL SET
----------------
Make sure you have plenty of lives by playing all the levels before Starlight
and collecting as many Eagle Talismans as possible. The key to beating Tal
Set is fluid motion, and knowing when to fight and when to run. When you're
down to about 50 health, run off and get some more on the outcroppings in the
corners of the map. Then take the power core in the hallways underground, and
go back and pound Tal Set some more. When he's down to two-thirds of his
life, he'll disappear and you'll get credited with a frag. He's not dead.
Two or three bots will come after you. Kill all but one of them, and then
collect all the health and ammo you can stand. Kill the last one, then take
the power core. Tal Set will come back. Use the same strategy as before, and
when he's down to one-third life, he'll disappear again. Then those bots will
come back. Kill all but one, take ammo and health, kill the last one, and then
you'll be fighting all the bots, _plus_ Tal Set! Concentrate your fire on the
boss, get that last kill, and you're all done.
----------------------
TWO-PLAYER CO-OP MEDAL
----------------------
This medal is impossible to attain with the black cartridge, because on the
"tag the monkey" levels, even if you reach the required number of tags, the
game will still say "mission failed" and require you to replay the level.
There is no way to go "around" one of these levels, because it is in the final
five (the line of five levels you must play at the end).
However, if you send your cartridge into Acclaim (you can probably get their
mailing address at Acclaim.com), they will send you a new cartridge, without
the two-player trials glitch! If you think it's worth the wait (and the loss
of the sleek-looking black cartridge), go right ahead and get that last medal.
---------------------
TAG THE MONKEY MEDALS
---------------------
Suggested Weapons: Shotgun, Minigun, Flare Gun, Any, Any.
I highly recommend you play with four human players. The first time I got a
TtM medal, it was with 4 players. Explosives are best b/c of their blast
radius.
------
OTHERS
------
You get a medal for 1000 deaths (not counting suicide).
You get a medal for not killing anyone, but you must have a 1% minimum
accuracy rating.
There is a medal for coming in last in a four player match. (sent by

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THE MEDALS GET YOU
Medals are for more than just showing off to your friends. When you earn a
medal, you may also earn a character skin, a cheat, or a rank.

OTHER NOTES
This is where I'll put anything that my readers send in to me that I can't
think of putting anywhere else.
----------------------------
EASY FRAGS, WITHOUT CHEATING
[email protected]
----------------------------
the best way to get frags is to go to a capture the flag level like
dire straits. Then get the flag and let the guys come to you. I racked up
about 30 something kills in about 10 minutes. It is very easy.
----------------------
WHO UNLOCKS WHO
[email protected] (me)
----------------------
Here are the "character ladders" for the 1-player Trials:
Turok – Raptor – Lord of the Dead – Mantid Mites
Biobot – Guardian – Juggernaut – Oblivion Spawn
Adon – Drone – Campaigner – Fireborn – Mantid Soldier
To unlock the bosses for multi, you must finish certain characters' trials:
Raptor + Drone + Guardian = Bastille
Campaigner + Lord of the Dead + Juggernaut = Syra
Fireborn + Mites + Oblivion Spawn = Symbiont
Mantid Soldier = Tal Set
---------------
SOME MEDAL TIPS
Victor Jimenez
---------------
On 25 frags, 10 minutes, and playing fairly aggressively without too many
deaths, Victor got Spirit Temple, Breakdown, Wicked Dance, The Pedestal, Earth
Temple and Water Temple without much trouble. He also informed me that you
get LordDead's second skin at 16 medals, not 18.
-----------------------------------
Easy Kills in spirit temple
$teven $wenson (

-----------------------------------
First of all, choose raptor. Second of all, have all the bots raptors. (Or to
spice things up a bit, have one raptor, one slag, and one claw.) Go up the
Levitating platform, wait at the top.(make sure the raptor jump claw secondary
function is on) When someone steps onto the platform, right when it starts to
rise, fall down and at the same time when you start to fall press Z.(works
better when you are looking down as you fall) If you time everything right,
you should raise your claws halfway down and right as you land, your claws
come down, sending pieces of bloody flesh flying downward.
