-
- ** General Tips **
- -------------------
-
- 1.) Listen to Stix, he tells you a good strategy. A High-Low combo done
- quickly and repeatedly works very well.
-
- 2.) Grab hold of a mutant. It will turn into either Strigil or Gravis, who
- are much more fun to fight than mutants.
-
- 3.) When you need to break an inadimate object, use the shoulder-butt, which
- is very powerful. It is done by trying to grab that object, instead of
- grabbing it, you ram it! =)
-
- 4.) When there are two or more enemies on the screen at the same time, sit
- back and watch them fight each other. It's always a good idea to be on
- one side of BOTH your enemies, so one that enemy is hitting the other in
- the back.

- ** Level Walkthroughs **
- -------------------------
- (On some levels you are given a choice of two ways to go, and I have mapped
- out every possible way to go. The way I usually go took precedent in
- numbering the frames. The "A" in the A-# stand for Alternate. Without
- further ado, onto the walkthrough!)

- | Mortous kidnaps Alica and tries to drown her in a machine that is half |
- | drawn. Power-Fists, Grenades, Bombs, Knives, and Roadkill are not |
- | very effective againt him. Neither are any attack combinations! The |
- | key to beating Mortous is simple! The switch on the right side of the |
- | frame makes part of the machine explode. You can pull this switch |
- | over and over again, and make as many BOOMS as you want. The trick is |
- | to lure Mortus down there. Stand by the engine that explodes and |
- | Mortous will jump down near you. Quickly jump to the ledge with the |
- | lever and pull it as many times as you can until he vanishes. When he |
- | vanishes jump back down near the engine, and repeat the above process |
- | until you've finally killed Mortous. Now you must kill the remaining |
- | Kreeps on the level. After you've finished them off, a switch will |
- | appear to the left of where Alica is being held captive. You should |
- | be able to flip the switch and release her before she dorwns if you |
- | followed my strategy. The rest as they is history! |
