Captain Comic II
----------------

It is possible to complete the entire game in one go. This took me
roughly three-and-a-half hours. At the end I had a score of 849900,
5 lives remaining and 4 extra shields in my inventory. And then I
hadn't touched the Time zone secret area yet!

Wilderness
 Collect blastola cola (to the right)
 Find entrance to base, to the left then down into the water
 Note that you can enter most of the waterfalls; many contain bonuses
 and one-ups (none contain shields though, but there's some fuel packs).
 You need the pickaxe for most of these areas

Skrejgib Base
 Collect base key (above entrance)
 Speak to Skrejgib leader (just follow directions)
 Collect mining pick (escape pods)
 Collect hammer, pliers and screwdriver (escape pods)
 Collect blastola cola (just above where you started the game)
 Once you have the pick you may want to explore the entire base; there's
 some gems mostly. Later on the base will be closed.

Chronia Mines (requires pickaxe)
 Collect broken lamp (from entrance, all left then down)
 Collect mine key (you'll run into it)
 Collect cavern key (door near monoliths)

Caverns of Sorrow (requires cavern key)
 Collect temple key (at the far end)
 Secret area with two shields and two one-ups (at the far end)
 Now you can't enter the skrejgib base any more

Temple of Chronia (requires temple key)
 Cheat mode: move right to the entrance door and press up
 First area, go all the way left, then duck down and go farther left
 Second area, go to the farthest right
 Third area, go all the way left again and pick the top door
 Collect blastola cola (second area)

This concludes the first part of the game.
You can leave any items you want in the Chronia temple.
You can also heal yourself by touching the control panel.

Realm of Magic
 Collect corkscrew (to the far right)
 Note, the guy mentions the shot randomizer, but it doesn't exist
 Collect magic key (drop down at the right of the first scene)
 Secret area with two one-ups just before the door to the magic key
 Collect mirror, crystal ball and amulet (all inside the castle)
 Defeat the wizard
 Note: this guy is easy, just stand under his throne and shoot
 For any boss, never hold down the shoot button or you'll run out of
 firepower. Also NEVER touch the boss, this kills you instantly
 Collect magic wand (use pick behind the wizard's throne)
 Use magic wand on old lantern to recover the jumping boots
 Use magic wand on mirror, crystal ball and amulet to get the crystal
 Use magic wand on the tools you got from the Skrejgib for a one-up
 Secret: use magic wand on any <10> gems to turn them into a shield!

Realm of Ice (requires jumping boots)
 If you're having a rough time, you can go into the Techno Realm first
 and collect the additional blastola cola from there
 Collect cleats (far right, past the sled scene)
 Collect snowy head (go back into the sled scene, then up)
 Use magic wand on snowy head to recover the keycard
 Collect ice key (from starting point, go right where you need cleats)
 Defeat frost master to recover the crystal
 This is the easiest boss; you'll have to rush past the falling icicles
 and use the pick to remove three of the bricks, then step back where
 the icicles won't hit you and keep shooting him

Realm of Techno (requires jumping boots and keycard)
 Collect blastola cola (you'll get there, just explore all doors)
 Note: the area with all the blinking lights has lots of invisible floors
 that appear when you jump into them from below; this is how you get up
 from here
 Collect jetpack (don't enter the door, just go up; enter at the square)
 Collect blastola cola (below the jetpack)
 Make your way through the breakable/shootable walls
 Defeat techomancer and recover the crystal
 This guy is annoying. Trick is to move to either left or right, shoot a
 bunch of sparks, then run under the sparks to the other side. When you've
 passed him, jump, turn and shoot. It's easy to touch him if you mess up.
 You've got time for a few shots, then run farther and repeat the process.

Realm of Nature (requires jetpack)
 Collect clock (house to the right)
 Collect new lamp (same house; doesn't seem to do anything ?)
 In the tree, take the central roots out
 The valley is easiest skipped by using the jetpack
 Defeat weatherman and collect the crystal
 Another straight case of jump 'n shoot. Jump a lot so you hit the
 thunder clouds as well. You should be able to fire faster than he does.

Realm of Time (requires clock and jetpack)
 Note: find a bonus area by flying straight up, then right
 Also note that you can break the pots using the pickaxe.
 Collect yellow time key (to the far right, inside a building)
 Find the chronos room (door on top center of first scene, then follow path)
 Put the clock down on the blue area, then enter the door
 Collect blastola cola (first building to the left)
 Collect teddy bear (second building to the left)
 Collect infinite fuel (top door of building to the far left)
 Defeat inferno
 This guy is easy again, just stand and shoot and he won't even hit you!
 Collect red time key, then leave building
 Collect crystal (center building on the left scene)

Realm of Dream (requires jetpack and teddy bear)
 Fly straight up, dodging the flying saucers
 You need a couple of fuel powerups; the second scene requires 80 fuel
 or so. It's best if you have the infinite fuel from the time realm
 Fly straight to the right
 The first wave of saucers flies high, the second low, etc.
 In the castle, find the area with lots of doors
 Enter center door in the bottom, break ceiling and exit top door
 Enter top door to the left, collect blue key in secret area to the right
 Enter leftmost door in the area with lots of doors
 Go straight to the right; every torch marks a fake floor
 The rest of the room is just to annoy you, and you can't take the shields
 In the green room, find the hidden floors at the very right
 Now comes an extensive battle scene; use as many shields as you want!
 Defeat dreamlord
 Not too hard either
 Use the wand on the trophy to collect the crystal

Grand finale
 You'll figure it out.
 Note that you can't go back to any of the Realms once you have the
 sixth crystal.

Now I'm really sorry that Michael Denio never got to make Comic III, as it
would have been great.
