DAY ONE - RESONANCE
CARNEGIE HALL: After viewing the insanely awesome intro FMV you
are ready to begin. Start a new game and after a short and sweet
little FMV sequence you will see Aya getting helped out of a limo at
the opera house. You get a chance to name Aya...so go ahead leave her
name as is or make one up for her. Once you get control of Aya just
walk her through the opera house doors and once inside talk to the man
standing there or don't...it's entirely up to you. Then go straight up
and through the doors. The opera is in session, sit back and enjoy the
VERY cool sequence that follows and once given control of Aya again
just walk up onto the stage and a battle with EVE will follow.
EVE FIRST BATTLE - 40 HP: Don't waste any bullets on this pathetically
easy boss (as you will need all you can save), just equip your police
stick and run up to her while she is storing power for her beam and
bash her. When she's about to shoot her beam at you (it's obvious when
she is) simply run to the left or right to dodge it. You should have
no problem AT ALL draining EVE's 40 HP and if you do I feel sorry for
you.
Once you defeat EVE, Aya has a sort of flashback and when she
comes out of it EVE floats away. Pursue her to the next area where
there is a large hole in the floor, and open the chest in the corner to
get an 45HP replenishing vial (NOTE: Items in this game sometimes
differ game to game...what is a 45HP+ vial in one game, may be
something else when you play again). EVE has obviously gone into the
depths of this hole and you must follow her. Choose the top choice
which lets you jump on in. After a strange encounter (you'll see) you
have control again and just go straight up where you see doors in the
distance. You have reached a long hallway with numerous doors on both
sides. All are locked on the first screen so move on down the hallway.
You will hear the shriek of a mouse and witness a very cool FMV which
shows how the mitochondria mutation works (gross!). Now you must
battle the dog sized rodent...no hard task. Once again CONSERVE AMMO,
use your police stick. The fighting pattern of the mutant mouse is
simple...he'll run at you, stop, and shoot three fireballs at you with
his tail. The fireballs are almost EMBARASSINGLY easy to dodge
allowing you a chance you run up and knock the little critter
senseless. Once you have defeated the rat (you did DEFEAT the rat
right?!) then you have access to the first two doors in this area.
Enter the right one and you will startle an opera performer who
proceeds to run from the room. Go over to the lockers, open the one
that is second from the left, and receive 6 bullet clip. Now enter the
door on the left, open the third locker from the left and recieve
another 45HP+ vial. Ignore the bodies on the floor, leave the room,
and enter the third door down on the left side of the hallway. In the
room open the chest in the corner for another 45HP+ vial and nudge the
body at the desk so that it falls over. Search the body to recieve a
key. Before you leave you can move some clothing in the back of the
room and release a parrot that flies around, but this is completely
pointless. When you're back in the main hallway run back to the first
screen of the hallway and enter the door on the left. While you are
running to this door you may encounter random mouse mutants, but they
are just like the first one you met...and just as easy with only about
13 HP each. Once you have reached the room open the chest that is in
plain sight to recieve a gun power-up. Now go over to the left corner
and you can break through the wall to access a secret room. Enter the
room, open the chest inside, and recieve some body armor that is
definately better than what you are wearing now so EQUIP IT. Now you
can leave the room OR open the wooden cabinet and battle the mouse
mutant that comes soaring out...the choice is yours. Once you are back
to the hallway enter the first door on the right and move EVE south to
find a chest that holds a 45HP+ vial. Now you can leave through the
door you came in or go north and exit through another door after
fighting a group of baddies. Proceed north in the hallway to screen
two of the hallway and enter the second door on the right. In this
room open the closet in the back and get a 6 bullet clip then leave or
mess with the parrot until it gets pissed and fights you. Anyway, once
you are back to the hallway enter the door that is right across from
the one you are at. Open the closet for another bullet clip and then
read the book on then read the book on the table which gets you another
key. Now that you have this key you can open the main door at the end
of the hallway...do so (save first...). Inside you see EVE playing the
piano (is this what she does in her spare time?) so go up to her and
watch the FMV. Afterward it's time for another battle with her.
EVE SECOND BATTLE - 80 HP: Another simple boss. However, this time I
do recommend the gun. Her pattern is simple so just watch her closely
and you can't lose. She will float around and then fire beams at you,
2 beams this time instead of one. When you see her hands lighting up
just move Aya BETWEEN her hands so that the beams go around you...one
on each side. Then EVE will move to the left with the beams still
going full blast so maneuver Aya up slowly so she stays between the
beams. Once the beams disappear run up to EVE and open fire. There is
a chance that she will simply slash you with her nails if you get TOO
close, but this is rare. This fight is as easy as it can be. If you
really suck and require healing at some point in the battle then just
use a 45HP+ vial or your 30HP+ PARASITE ENERGY spell.
After you beat EVE Aya will experience another flashback and when
she's comes out of it EVE is gone. There is a hole in the upper left-
hand corner of the room, and you must pursue EVE through it by
selecting the top choice. You have now reached the sewer (being a cop
is such a great job...) just go north and fight any monsters that wish
to mess with you. They are basically just mutant mice and mutant
frogs...all fairly easy. Once you reach an area with a stairway on the
right and left, ignore them and open the chest to the left to receive a
new weapon. Equip the gun as it is much better than what you have, and
move north until an event happens. After the event there are two well
concealed chests in the right and left northern corners. The one on
the right contains a gun power-up, the one on the left an 45HP+ vial.
Now pursue the little girl into the next area, but don't pass up the
hidden chest just to the left of the door which holds inside it a 6
bullet clip. In the next area proceed left, kill two frogs and click
the button to the left of the gate. This button serves two
functions...the top choice opens the gate and the other allows you to
save your game. Open the gate and enter the next area where you will
meet EVE once again. Run up to her and an FMV sequence will follow.
Now you will face a new foe.
SEWER BOSS - TAIL 80 HP - HEAD 120 HP - TOTAL 200 HP: This boss is
another in a long string of easy battles. It has two portions, a head
and a tail. The head has FAR too much defensive power for you to mount
a serious attack on it so go for the tail at first. The boss will
slash his tail at you and unleash a bunch of green beams with it, but
they are simple to dodge by maneuvering between them. Once you dodge
just run up to his side or back and fire on his tail. Continue this
pattern until you defeat the tail. Now you can attack the head of the
monster. He has a new attack in which he fires 3 flaming lasers on you
per turn. The lasers are easy to escape from by just running in the
opposite direction. Then just fire on his head and continue the
pattern until he dies.
Once you have sent the SEWER BOSS to an early grave you appear
outside the opera and get questioned by a reporter. Daniel Bo Dollis,
a cop who Aya really looks up to as a father figure, comes along and
knocks the shit out of the nosy reporter. Then he gives you a ride to
the station.
