Q: What is "Blood"?

A: To date, Blood is the latest in a long line of Doom clones, i.e.
first-person perspective 3D shootemups.  Blood is written by a team
at Monolith Productions, and uses a modified version of the Build
engine designed by 3D-Realms which was used for Duke Nukem 3D among others.

The Text files that come with the game describe all the various enemies
and weapons, so I won't bother with that here, or for even more
information, you can visit the official Blood homepage at
http://www.blood.com.

Q: What cheats are there?

A: Blood has more cheat codes than I've ever seen in any game.  Some of them
have duplicated effects, and some of them, despite being recognised by the
game, don't actually appear to do anything.  To enter a cheat code, you must
press 'T' to go into talk mode, then type in the code and press ENTER.
Cheating will cause the game to not tell you how many kills or secrets there
should be on that level, or how many of each you have managed to achieve.

Here they all are:

BUNZ                    All Weapons, Ammo and Guns Akimbo.

Q: What are the secrets

A: Secrets in Blood, as with Duke-3D, Quake and presumably others, are
areas that aren't usually in the direct path required to be taken to
complete a level, and often will require looking in odd places, getting to
hard to reach spots and trying to open every wall you see.
Here are the list of currently known secrets in Blood Shareware v0.99.

Episode 1:

Mission 1 - Cradle to Grave:

Secrets: 11

#1      After climbing out of the grave, immediately in front of you is a
piece of metallic wall curving outwards towards you.  Open this and it
slides around to reveal a box of TNT.

#2      After stepping outside of the doors where you meet your first
zombie, turn back towards the doors and "open" the bushes to the left
of the door, it will slide up revealing the empty grave of one Eric
Draven and a shield.

#3      Downstairs there is another graveyard with a tomb with "In
loving memory" on the side of it, on top of this is the "Guns Akimbo"
powerup. There are 2 ways of getting to this.  Either jump on top of the
nearest tombstone and jump onto the top of the tomb, or you can jump out of
the window later on and walk across the top of the fence, jumping over the
gap in the middle.  Using this powerup with the alternate fire mode of the
shotgun (both barrels) means instant death for all but the toughest enemies.

#4      In the altar-room with the "rest in pieces" sign on the far
wall, walk straight down the middle of the room towards this sign,
and the altar will slide forward revealing a few rats and a box of flares.

#5      Behind the curtains in the altar-room is a piano-organ, active
this and a small panel slides up in front of you revealing a "Beast
vision".

#6      In the morgue, just opposite the window with the 2 bundles of
TNT in front of it, is a door with a crack in it.  Blow it up with
TNT to reveal some armor.

#7      Around the other side after blowing up 2 TNT barrels, another
empty wall-coffin appears with some rats and some fire armor in it.

#8      In the crematorium, after you have the fire armor, run down
the conveyor into the fire, grab the life-seed and then run out the side.

#9      Along the wall beside the shelves in the crematorium there is a
saw, use this and the shelves slide sideways revealing a hidden
compartment with some flares.

#10      Near the end of the level a zombie climbs out of a stone coffin,
behind the lid to this coffin is another secret area with some flares.

#11     ?


Mission 2 - Wrong side of the tracks

Secrets : 8

#1      In the train station, after answering the "Hugh Jass" phone, the 4th
phone to your right hides a secret hole with some armor.

#2      In the kitchen, blow up the fire extinguisher to get some flares.

#3      Also in the kitchen, open the cupboard/fridge and push the button
with the handprints on it to open another secret area in the room that
blowing up the fire extinguisher opened which has a cloak of invisibility
in it.

#4      Going up the left-hand stair case above the ticket booth, there are
some windows, break one and jump onto the ledge to get a life-seed.

#5      In the room at the end of the stairs, there is a picture on the
wall,
open this to reveal a Guns Akimbo powerup.

#6 & #7 In the bookstore behind the door near the phones is a cash-register.
Use it to open one secret area right in front of you with a Dr.s bag in it,
and another to the right of the register with some armor in it.

#8 on the train platform, go into the "No admittance" room and blow up the
crack in the wall to get some shells and some flares.  There's another crack
at the bottom of this new path which you can blow up to get a shortcut back
and forth from the bookstore.


Mission 3 - Phantom Express

Secrets: 6

#1 - In the carriage full of crates, walk straight ahead through the door
to the end and jump onto the box, turn around, and to your right there
is another crate with a life-seed on it.

#2 - In the same room on the pile of boxes at the front of the carriage
there is a blue trunk, open it for a Beast Vision.

#3 - In the last carriage the two bars both have switches behind them which
opens a small panel on the wall _without_ the picture which has a
reflective-
shot powerup in it.

#4 - Open the grill-oven in the kitchen for a flare gun.

#5 - The first room in the passenger carriage has a crack in the corner,
blow it up, and jump up into the hole to get a Tommy gun, some TNT
and some flares.

#6 - Open the fire-grate in the engine room, and run through the fire
to get a Shotgun, Lifeseed, Tommygun and Flaregun, then quickly open the
other end and get out.



Mission 4 - Dark Carnival

Secrets: 12

#1 - Straight ahead from the start for a bit, then turn left and go through
the hole to get some body armor, TNT and shells.  Can also get to here by
blowing a hole in the train on the other side later on in the level.

#2 - Underwater by the first bridge, swim to the right to get Flaregun,
Shotgun, Tommy gun and Guns Akimbo.

#3 - First shooting gallery, shoot the targets to get a life-seed.

#4 - Jump on top of the "Rotton Candy" wagon, and get the boots, then use
them to jump over the wall opposite to get a Beast Vision.

#5 - Kick the three heads into the mouth to get an invincibility powerup.

#6 - Second shooting gallery (bottles), shoot the bottles to get an
invisibility cloak.

#7 - Using the boots, jump over the small wall to the left of the second
shooting gallery to get a drum of bullets.

#8 - In the freakshow, blow up the 3rd set of bars and shoot the corpse
to open a panel behind you with a Guns Akimbo powerup in it.

#9 - Trash can outside of the dagger-key door.  Jump into it and duck down
to get the reflective shot powerup.

#10 - In the room the zombies come from after exiting the dagger-key door,
there are some boxes at the far end with scratches on them.  Push them to
gain access to a room full of mimes and a life-seed.

#11 - You eventually get to a bridge that blows up.  Jumping over the posts
and blowing up the wall in front of you gets you access to another secret
area
with super armor and a 3-entry combination.  The correct combination to gain
access to "The House of Horrors" secret level is:  Knife  Eye  Moon.


Mission 5 - Hallowed Grounds


Mission 6 - The Great Temple


Mission 7 - Altar of Stone

Secrets: ?

#1      An opening in the wall facing outwards along the stairway leads to
a small ledge with some Super-Armor on it and a teleporter which puts you
back at the entry point to the level.


Mission 8 - House of Horrors (Secret Level)

Secrets: ?
