*** Creature Shock *** Some tips: Don't keep shooting or shielding all the time: watch your energy, and only shoot or shield when necessary. All the monsters have pre-defined movement patterns. Learn them and you'll know when to shoot and when to shield. If you can't find the monster's hit spot, then either use a smart bomb, which will highlight the hit spot if it is visible, or try moving the cursor over the monster until you see it's targeting arrows appear. Whenever these appear the cursor is over the monster's hit spot. If you have any other questions then please feel free to email me. N.B. I've deliberately not given any tips for the last level, as some things should be left as surprises! ~Level 1 - The Easy Route * After the first shooting gallery take the right door, kill the guard, go through the next door and proceed to the next junction (past a cupboard containing a gun power-up and a frightened monster). * Killing any bats you encounter take the right passage to the next junction. * Go right again, kill the wall-hugging monster to the next junction. * Take the left passage - kill the Washy monster and proceed to the next junction. * Go right to the next room - kill the maggot within and go straight on through to the next junction. * Go right again again to the Y-Junction room - take the left exit where another maggot will attack you - kill him and head toward the next junction. * So many junctions ! Take the left passage to the next one. * And the last passage - take the right turning which leads you to the final room - defeat the demon/babe and proceed to level 2. ~Level 1 - The Shooting Gallery Tour (Hard Route #1) * After the first shooting gallery, take the left door - proceed through the guard and the next door to the first junction. * Go left to the Pool Room - defeat the monster there and continue through to the next junction. * Go left again to the second shooting gallery - once you have vanquished those within proceed through to the next junction. * Go right to the next junction. * Go left to the third shooting gallery - kill everything and then go through, down the corridor to a big hole. Jump in, slide down and don't forget to turn. . . * LEFT! Enter the Y-Junction room and take the left exit, go down the corridor to the next junction and. . . * Turn right which leads you to the fourth, and last, shooting gallery - where you will die. If by some miracle or devious means of cheating you survive - leave the room to the next junction. * Take the left exit to the final room - admire the way she walks, enjoy her smile and then blow her away - after sheAEs turned big, bad and ugly that is. Then sing a happy song. ~Level 1 - The Everything Else Tour (Hard Route # 2) * After the first shooting gallery, take the left door - proceed through the guard and the next door to the first junction. * Go left to the Pool Room - defeat the monster there and go through the grate in the far corner. Go down the corridor - defeating the little git monster - continue to the far room to turn around and pick-up the gun power-up in the cupboard there. Come back through the grate to the Pool Room. Take the nearest (left) exit and proceed to the next junction. * Take the right turning and proceed to the next junction. * Turn right again and go on to the room beyond, kill the tentacle monster and take the third exit from the right (third of four). * At the next junction go left, killing the wall hugging monster. Go on to the next junction. * Go left again and defeat the Washy monster, who lies in wait further down the corridor, past him lies another junction. * Turn right and enter the maggot room beyond, kill the maggot and take the left exit. Kill the monster you discover and return to the maggot room. Take what is now your left exit and proceed down the corridor. * Take your next right which leads you to the Y-Junction room, take the left exit here - after defeating the maggot there - and continue toward the last junction. * Take the right turn - where upon a maggot will attack you - defeat it and go on toward the final room. Kill the demony/womany/morphy thing and take the womany bit back with you. ~Level 2 - The Easy Route * After the first shooting gallery, use the northern most entrance (to the left of the immediate entrance ). This gives direct access to the vent system. Proceed down the vents, through the small room toward a T-junction . * Take the right turning and proceed through the vents straight through one small junction room to the next small junction room. * Go up through the grate to the Second Floor corridor above. * Head west, follow the corridor and take the next right turning. * Head north toward the LINK Control Room. Defeat the Guardian robot and head on toward the Control Room. * Once there, shoot the data link, climb up the catwalk back into the corridor and head out the way you came. i.e.: * Follow the corridor south till it ends. * Take the left fork to the first grating. * Go down into the Vent System (Red 2). * Head west from the junction room through the next junction room to the T-junction. Do not hang around in junction room or you will be dropped into the Loader room. * Turn left and continue through to the outside. Beware of Vent Cleaners (Horrible worm things). ~Level 2 - The Long Route A - Around the Houses * Take the immediate entrance and proceed through the Eye Monster room. Kill the monster and follow the corridor to the next cupboard. Use the health power-up and follow the corridor until it ends. * At the fork take the left turning and follow it up to the ATT Eye Monster room.

Move toward the pipes and kill all the crawlers, come back to the catwalk and take the door opposite the one you came in (i.e.: head east). * Continue straight down the corridor to the Lift room. Take the lift up to the Second Floor. Continue straight down the corridor to the Crumbling Ledge Room. * Kill the Hover Loader within and then leave by the other door. * Follow the corridor to the next grate and go down into the Vent System, head east toward the Throwing Loader Shooting Gallery. * Once there, turn toward the crates and kill both Loaders. Then take northern exit behind you and proceed straight through the next junction room toward the Cowardly Cat room. * Once inside approach the vent exit to your right and turn toward the middle of the room. With you back turned to it the Cowardly Cat monster will attack you. Defeat it and it will escape down the vent to your right. Follow it down toward the Ground Floor. * You will now find yourself trapped between the Cat monster and a Vent Cleaner. Kill the Cat, escape from the tunnel, turn and kill the Cleaner. * Then take the southern exit - the one to your right once you have killed the worm, passed the next turning to the PRO room, pass through here and take the next left turning. * Go into Small Room, open the cupboard, take the gun power-up and enter the vent. * This will lead you through a small room and once again to the Throwing Loader Shooting Gallery, pass straight through to the next junction room. * Go up through the grate and head west down the corridor. Follow it round and take the second right. * Follow this until, you are attacked by the Guardian robot. Kill it and proceed into the Control Room * Once the data link has been destroyed, escape back down the corridor and take the first right. * When the corridor has turned to the left take the next grate down. Follow the vent system to the next junction room. * There, admire but do not shoot, the armadillo-like Hopper. Let it get out of your way and then follow it toward the slide. * Take the slide down to the Ground Floor and follow the corridor to the Eye Monster Shooting Gallery. Walk toward the wall and kill all the Eye Monsters before taking the eastern exit, to your right as you entered. * Follow the corridor, passed the right turning, back through the Prowling Cat room.

Use the gun power-up in the cupboard and take the vent entrance through a small room to the Throwing Loader Shooting Gallery. Turn toward the barrels and kill both Loaders. * Carry on straight through the room and follow the vents through the next two junction rooms to the T-junction room. * Take right turning through to the Two Cat Room.
