Secret Mission Guide

Done 30-8-2001



This is primarily a guide to seeking and beating the Secret Missions
found hidden in all corners of the game. If you're here, that means you
need help to locate them. If not, please don't bother to read further
since most of it won't make sense until you have the software.

the hardest in the world, but certainly innovate in ways and
refreshing familiar in others.

all 12 Secret Missions in the first place.

\ SECRET MISSIONS \
 \                 \
  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Secret Missions can be called as mission within a mission. They are
designed so that you'll curse and swear at the designers for thinking
up of something to fustrate them, if not more so. Some are insanely
tough, some of them require long treks back to get them. But the
rewards are fulfilling. You not only get a Blue Orb piece for each
mission, and you'll get an item that will aid you in future battles as
well.

Note that you can return to do Secret Missions in a Round 2 and above
game, but if you've cleared that mission before, all you get is the
standard Yellow Orb.

The following guide will list the when, the where, and the how to
getting the 12 nice stars on your Save and Complete screen.

Remember, all this is OPTIONAL. Whether you wish to do it or not is not
under my control......



===============================
SECRET MISSION 1 - CRITICAL HIT
===============================

When       - Mission 3, AFTER defeating Phantom

Where      - Underwater, broken bridge area

Objective  - Defeat the Sin Scissors by hitting at its weak point

How        - Knock it off balance by shooting in its face with the
            Shotugn. Then rush up and blast it in its face again using
            the Shotgun. 60% of the time you should get it. If you're
            too slow, you can always try again. Just be careful of
            your remaining health......

Difficulty - 7/10



===============================
SECRET MISSION 2 - PHANTOM BABY
===============================

When       - Mission 4

Where      - Hall where you fought Phantom

Objective  - Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit

How        - You can go around killing like crazy, or you can simply
            use a Holy Water to finish the job in a second.

Difficulty - 1/10



=================================
SECRET MISSION 3 - PHANTOM BABY 2
=================================

When       - Mission 4, AFTER clearing Secret Mission 2

Where      - Time Statue room at the other end of the corridor where
            you started off Mission 4 from.

Objective  - Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit WITHOUT
            using weapons.

How        - No, Holy Water won't work here. You'll have to crush 100
            of them with your bare feet. Luckily the area is a small
            one, else you'll be crying.

Difficulty - 6/10



===========================
SECRET MISSION 4 - 3 BEASTS
===========================

When       - Mission 4, AFTER defeating the Shadow

Where      - Arena directly below airplane room

Objective  - Defeat all 3 Shadows

How        - There's no easy way around this. Roll like crazy, run like
            crazy, slash like crazy. Just be careful as the auto
            aiming will look for the moving Shadows instead of the
            core-revealed ones. You can bet that it's purposely done
            this way......

Difficulty - 9/10



=================================
SECRET MISSION 5 - ONE-EYED DEMON
=================================

When       - Mission 7

Where      - Pipe room, where you found the Old Key during Mission 6

Objective  - Let one Kyclops kill the other

How        - Just to remind you that your health is still falling
            during this time period, so take care NOT to get hit TOO
            much. The hard way would be to move in between the 2 of
            them, and hope that they shoot each other. Their claws
            won't hit each other, but they WILL damage you. Another
            easier way would be to jump on the pipes and stay jumping
            so that they won't hit you, but rather jump on each other,
            knocking each other out. Once one is dead, you can finish
            off the other if you wish to.

Difficulty - 8/10



====================================
SECRET MISSION 6 - A BUNCH OF GHOSTS
====================================

When       - Mission 11

Where      - Garden Courtyard just before you ended Mission 10

Objective  - Get the Blue Orb Piece in the air

How        - You'll have to locate the Orb piece first, then start
            jumping like crazy on the walls and on the heads of the
            Sin Scissors bunch. Note that Sin Scissors won't attack
            you if you're moving, so all you need to do is keep
            jumping up and up until you reach the piece, then you can
            let loose on them if you wish to. Falling down from the
            top is going to be a regular feature though.

Difficulty - 2/10



===============================
SECRET MISSION 7 - WATER PRISON
===============================

When       - post-Mission 13

Where      - Check on the Captain's skeleton back in the Captain's room
            of the Ghost Ship

Objective  - Defeat all 8 enemies

How        - Use the Needle Gun to defeat all the 8 Blades in the
            water. Be careful to avoid getting caught in claw fire.

Difficulty - 3/10



====================================================
SECRET MISSION 8 - TREASURE GUARDED BY THE DEATH GOD
====================================================

When       - Mission 15

Where      - Check on the picture wall in the rolling spike area back
            at the start of Mission 14.

Objective  - Defeat all enemies

How        - 3 Shadows, if lucky one at a time, if not, 3 at once. This
            time there isn't much moving space, so be careful. If
            you've gotten the Nightmare Beta the area becomes very
            helpful with the constant rebounding of the shots.

Difficulty - 9/10



======================================
SECRET MISSION 9 - SHADOWS IN THE DARK
======================================

When       - Mission 16, AFTER defeating Nightmare

Where      - Airplane room

Objective  - Locate and defeat all Shadows

How        - There are a grand total of 4 Shadows hidden in 3 places. 2
            of them are in the airplane room, 1 in the hall, 1 in the
            bridge room. Standard Shadow fighting plan required, so
            you should be used to them by now.

Difficulty - 8/10



=============================================
SECRET MISSION 10 - A LONELY FLIGHT OF STAIRS
=============================================

When       - Mission 16, AFTER defeating Nightmare (or during 17)

Where      - Colosseum

Objective  - Get the Blue Orb Piece by climbing the stairs of death

How        - A long jumping experience. Just make sure not to twist L3
            too much or else you'll fall off. Alignment's paramount,
            but then again, there aren't any enemies. More irritating
            than difficult.

Difficulty - 1/10



==============================================
SECRET MISSION 11 - HOLY BLUE STONE IN THE SKY
==============================================

When       - Mission 17

Where      - Broken bridge

Objective  - Get the Blue Orb Piece high up in the air

How        - To ACTIVATE the Secret Mission is a pain in the butt. You
            have only one chance to activate this by moving from the
            end of the bridge back to the door end WITHOUT falling
            into the water. The game recogises it when you step onto
            the first and last platform. Thus jump on the first, Air
            Raid towards the last piece, then jump on solid land to
            START the mission (you'll know when the Secret Mission
            screen comes out)

            In this mission you'll have to use the jump-pools that the
            Death Scythe will shoot out, avoid its attacks while
            flying up to get the Orb piece. Chances are that you'll
            end up falling into the water since you'll have no idea
            where you land, so it's best to get it done in one single
            try. Lots of resetting required here......

Difficulty - 10/10



=======================================
SECRET MISSION 12 - THE HIDDEN BRACELET
=======================================

When       - Mission 21

Where      - Hidden room behind wall opposite Time Statue of Mission 21

Objective  - Get the Hidden Bracelet at the end of the Hidden Path

How        - Cross the long stretch of road first (with couple of
            Nobodys in the way), picking up the final Blue Orb Piece
            here. At the end of the path there will be a large room
            with a dragon waiting and blowing hot air. This time this
            dragon dosen't spit fireballs, so you'll have to do it the
            hard way: Hitting it on the head with weaponry. It's
            impervious to all gun attacks though. Once you've defeated
            the dragon 2 Frosts will appear. Defeat them, and jump
            your way to the Time Bracelet!

Difficulty - 7/10

This should be it, all in one release. If there is any need for updates
it'll probably come after I've confrimed the "When" part of the game,
since some of the Secret Missions allow you to try them a little later
than prescribed. All the "When"s at the moment are the earliest times
you can try though, so there shouldn't be any problems for those used
to the timings.

For now,
JL
