By popular demand, here is the TeachText/SimpleText readable version of the Burn:Cycle 100% Unauthorized Strategy Guide!!!! This is the first (I made this decision AFTER I made the TeachText version) strategy guide in the BahamutX2 line of Unauthorized Strategy Guides! The next one is the strategy guide to the phenominal best-selling hit by Presto Studios, Journeyman Project. ENJOY!
NOTE: I'm going to do all guides in TeachText now, so everyone can enjoy them!
This is the easiest way to beat Burn:Cycle and get the best ending.
IN SOFTECH:
•Get communicator that is just left of the monitor
•Now, turn left or right
•Shoot the guard
•Use the AutoMap to make a route out
ON THE SOFTECH ROOF:
•Move forward once
•Once Kris is killed, inspect bomb
•Set to the most appropriate time (leave it for first time players) and then hit arm
•Attach bomb onto the center of the door
•Go back once. Twice and a Softech guard shoots you
•Once bomb has blown up move to Kris's dead body.
•Open her jacket and get the Lifter key and Cutter's credit card out of her jacket
•Go to Lifter
•Use key to get in
•Once inside go to left monitor
•Set a course for Urban Central, aka The City
•Go to middle monitor
•Hit Power, System, and then VTO
IN THE AIR:
•This is a shooting scene.
•Always shoot a little infront of the missle because your lasers take some time to hit the missles.
CITY-GET SOMETHING TO WORK WITH:
•After escaping the missles, and finishing the cinema scene you'll land on a Lifter pad
•Your fusion part is fried, open the panel that is on the far right and hit OPEN. Get the fusion part out of there
•Now, go right infront of the Sum Zero Bar
•Turn around and go towards a sign that has a neon eye
•Go into the Karma Bank Center
•Go to the booth that the cinema showed you
•Once inside give the machine your card and then solve the pieces puzzle. Always keep your eye on the top piece so you can have a key to check all the other pieces by.
•Once that is done you'll see the words "VIELLI" repeat over and over. You'll have some credits to work with. VIELLI is a clue.
CITY-FINDING ZIP:
•Go into the Sum Zero Bar.
•Turn around and go forwards once, then turn and go into the Pyschic Roulette Room
•Go to the Pyschic Roulette machine. Insert credit card and play
•You can wait for symbols to come up. Listen to the rules that the announcer gives you.
•Once beating one game in Pyschic Roulette, the ASCII Televerse Kiosk appears. Get it's Televerse coordinates.
•Go to the bar and pick your prize. The one that is the second one from the left (The Nuero Implant GOLD) is the one that you have to get.
•Now, turn around and go forward once. Turn, right and you'll see Zip sleeping (actually electronically rushing).
•Go to the booth. Click on the button that is near the center.
•At the TV logo insert your credit card.
•Go to the Incoming Mail, the news just wastes time.
•After going to the Incoming Mail, use the custom software
•After contacting Zip, exit the TV.
•Go forwards and talk to Zip
•First, you'll want to bribe him. Get the decoder and patch
•Then, talk to him again and give him the part. You'll find out that you need to get cash. The Hotel has cash....but if you go there you're killed by a Softech agent...if only I could get that money.
CITY-GALA & THE HOTEL:
•Once you've done your transaction with Zip, you'll want to go back.
•Once you've went back once or twice you'll see a breif cinema.
•Once Gala slits the agent's throat, she runs towards you and throws you a gun.
•Shot the two agents, simple.
•After that there will be a breif cinema and Gala will give you a pager when you are ready to pay her to help you.
•Put on the patch. It gives you about 15 more minutes to operate with.
•Go to the Hotel. When you see the man walking, stop (don't go forward again or you're dead). Double click the pager and press the button.
•Gala will come and knock out the guard. When you frisk him you find a pocket computer.
•Now, insert the decoder. You'll want to search around and find the numbers that go in there.
•But, incase you get frustrated and can't do it (I died the first few times because I couldn't find them) the numbers are: 1965
•Look at the video clues. Dealy is in this.....find the weak spot around back.
•Go back there and enter the elevator
•Once at the floor go around the hall.
•Go in the door that is the last on the right.
•You'll want to move over to the wall where the little mechanism is.
•You'll need to defuse this.
•Because the variations differ everytime you'll want to save your game first.
•After defusing the bomb get the Nigerian Rand (moo-la), Purple Haze gas bomb, LockBreaker, and the Visible Spectrum headset.
•When you go back one Gala will give you the HoloBall, which will give you some more clues about Cutter once you use the HoloScan at Doc's.
•Now, you don't want to go out the door. If you do you'll get shot by a guard.
•Instead click on the ventilation shaft that is on the right wall. Open it up and insert the Purple Haze gas bomb. Walla. You now have your cover. If you don't have the Visible Spectrum headset on you're dead.
•Now, click on the bottom pointer and move it like the one on the top. Try to keep them touching. You'll move along and get into the elevator.
•Once in the elevator let go of the mouse and you're out of the Hotel.
•After the cinema, go back to Zip and give him the money. You'll get yourself a new fusion part.
•Go back to your ship and install it.
•The Rad Haz piece pops up showing three little circular metal pieces.
•You'll want to make the laser touch all of the pieces. Here's one of the many correct patterns (if you have Word 5 I suggest getting the other one. This is a crude xxxx marking :
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
It is like a bent diagonal line. You'll want to tamper with it a little to make it perfect. If you get Meltdown, just walk back and come on back. It's fine so don't worry.
•Once you do that, Gala sticks you up. After taking getting her gun (this is cinema), Softech agents start coming. After you and Gala are in the Lifter you'll have ANOTHER Lifter shooting scene (last one)
•Do the same as you did in the first scene. Aim infront and you're fine.
DOC'S PLACE:
•Doc (hate to tell you) is playing you real bad! But, he will also help you and get you into the Televerse
•Once landed go to the door and put on the LockBreaker.
•Hints for LockBreaker: Green 4- goes to Lock 5. All the others are just by making either a blue or a red go into the correct Lock. Sometimes you'll have a Red 4, and then Blue 4. Try it. It's probably the easiest puzzle. No other greens are used except for Green 4-Lock 5. Also, you can use one piece for some. You don't have to make a tunnel (like in Pipe Dreams) but just have to channel the energy to the right one.
•Once inside, and after the cinema (which is kinda cheesy) you'll want to turn right and go to the HoloScan.
•Go to the thing that looks like a big metal tube first. Insert that green HoloBall.
•Then, go back and go to the monitor.
•Rotate the item until it becomes familiar.................
•After you get the gun from Gala (this is her 5th gun!!!!!!) you'll get loaded into the Televerse.
•Unfortuently, Doc's crappy software fragments you into 3 pieces. You'll need to get all 3 pieces back.
IN THE TELEVERSE:
•Once inside the Televerse go to Comport.
•Then, go to Cortex-using the access code that the ASCII gave you.
•Go back to Comport--meeting one of your pieces of code.
•Then, go to Nirvana.
•Enter the weird flying thing.
•Search around until you find Dealy. Only access him, no others--it saves time. Then, go to the Pulse.
•Go back to Nirvana.
•Now, turn left.
•Go forward and meet Cyber Buddha.
•The tree puzzle is simple. If you've already accessed Dealy it's almost complete.
•Take all three pieces off the stem. But on the small and medium pieces.
•Then, make the sound. Take Dealy's leaf. (if you get someone else (their sound) and take that leaf you get an awesome death scene where the Cyber Buddha says "It's a Bitch".)
•Go to the Pulse and go to Cortex.
•Once there, you'll see Kris.
•Pay attention to this scene so you can get one piece of code....a third eye....
•Go to Cyber Buddha and put your cursor between his two eyes....a third eye....click and you have Cyber Buddha's code.
•Now, go to the Pulse and go to Comport.
•You'll get another shooting scene (like the one in Softech...kinda....)
•You need to shoot the balls that the hostile code is made from. Shoot it fast because you have about 15 seconds before you've lost it. If you destroy it you get piece o' code 2.
•Go back to Comport to find out your accounts cancelled.
•Go to Cortex. You'll talk with Kris (and get ready for some hanky-panky) and you'll suck her up (you'll find out...) and get the third piece of code.
•Now, walk through the door of Cortex (you're a Construct, dufas!)
VIELLI & DEACTIVATING THE VIRUS:
•Finally, you're in Cortex.
•You'll find Vielli (the clue helped, huh?) and he'll tell you about Softech's new "immortality" software. He then cooks up five anti-toxins to make the HARDEST puzzle of luck and some skill in the game.
•Be sure to clean your mouse before playing this. It's a maze. Hit the pockets of memory to get some help. You won't need to access them all to regain your memories.
•Get to the center and click.
•The virus is deactivated...but there's still about 15 minutes of cinema scenes left!
•Now, Vielli shows how you were betrayed by Doc. Then, you watch Gala kill Doc and then Dealy blows off Gala's arm. Dealy (the best scene) then says (a small excerpt): Here's the deal Cutter. For every minute you're in the Televerse with my software, I'm going to hack a limb of that sack of shit you call a body. And don't worry when your dick's gonna go. By then, you won't have a hand to stroke it."
•Vielli (I'm not gonna give details because you need to see this for yourself) then has a plan.
•Now, you're in Cortex: Real World.
•Go over to the machine and go twice left and scan for Vielli's brain.
•After getting it exit Cortex.
•The cinema starts with your in the Hotel (you're instantly warped there).
•Then, you have the scene with Dealy (and you shoot him and hit him in the heart).
•Then, you have a quick shooting scene. Kill the two guards.
•Now, a cinema plays.
•Once it ends move up to the monitor and Vielli will greet you (on the monitor)
