You can do whatever you like with this walkthrough, but I will not be held responsible for any regret felt because you ruined the game experience abusing it. * This is not intended to be the ultimate FAQ, only to descriptively & straightfowardly guide you through the game step by step; the various endings, secrets, codes, etc. will not be covered in this version, as what is known in can easily be found elsewhere (on the very sight I'm submitting this walkthrough to, in fact - gamefaqs.com), & I would rather wait until all has been revealed in those departments, & include that stuff in the update; what I do cover is what I know from extensive play; also, I absolutely no mention is made of any story elements, so you're pretty safe from spoilers """"""""""""""""""""""" General Notes """"""""""""""""""""""" - Puzzle solutions for Normal & Hard Difficulties are covered - Before each puzzle solution, I have given an explanation of what you need to do to solve the puzzle, in case you're just having trouble figuring out what you're supposed to do, but don't want to know the solution - Since the puzzle solutions are probably the most sought after information about the game, I have placed all of what I considered to be puzzles at the top, noting the puzzle # & name I've made up for it when they occur in the walkthrough - I've noted any hidden or hard to find items, mostly ammo & such, but I realize that I haven't necessarily found everything - All directions given (left, right, etc.) refer to your perspective looking at the screen, unless I'm describing something relative to something else, such as "Use the Tan Teleporter (to the left of the jets of fire)". - Since there are cameras & screens in this game, I will say "run toward the camera/screen" (rather than just "camera" or "screen") when giving directions to avoid possible confusion - Feel free to e-mail me with any notable information about the game you might have (with a subject of Fear Effect), as I am planning to update, & I love the game """"""""""""""""""""""" Combat """"""""""""""""""""""" I'm generally not covering any combat in this walkthrough, but here are a few things I find help to keep (insert favorite character) & the gang from getting blasted, beat upon, exploded on, etc.: - Always stealth kill when possible. - Always make sure the green (or red, for stealth kills) target is at the top of the screen before attacking. - Never panic in combat. If an enemy is suddenly & unexpectedly upon you, distance yourself from them if necessary, calmly face them (crouch if they have a ranged weapon, which doesn't guarantee they'll miss, but it often helps; no good against Plasma Wrists), watch for the lock in, & attack. - Roll to the side (or back for melee attacks) just as an enemy is about to attack & attack them. - To avoid running out of ammo, pay attention to the type of ammo the majority of the enemies in a given area are giving up, & use the corresponding weapon to take them out, unless that weapon is particularly ineffective in that area, or you want to save it. - As always with the trusty shotgun, use it to take out tightly packed or lined up groups of enemies. - Certain weapons are particularly effective against certain enemies, especially bosses. - The quick draw button (X by default) draws the last weapon you had equipped. - Reload by pressing square then triangle, or just sliding your thumb across them (unless your inventory is already up & your weapon already selected; then it's just triangle). - If the weapon you have equipped is near the end of your weapon inventory, & you need to get to beginning of it quickly (say, to quickly equip the knife for an impromptu stealth kill), press circle then square, & you're there. - Practice just avoiding enemies attacks without attacking them; this will give you insight on how to engage them more effectively. - Practice selecting & firing & reloading weapons while running & rolling.

here's what it looks like with everything except the unused parts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 r-, 2 r = =-' | Blue Piece> 3=-^-= =-, L =-, 4 r-' r-, | 5 L =-' L-' Finally, if the diagram thing isn't for you, here are the coordinates of the pieces that need to be placed, & what they are: (1,6) -, (2,2) r (2,4) = (2,5) -' (3,1) = (3,2) -^- (3,3) = (3,7) = (4,4) r (4,8) | (5,4) L (5,5) = (5,7) L (5,8) -' ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ #7 The Beam Switch Puzzle You need to switch the beams so that they match the pattern on the bottom left of the screen, but to move a beam, you need to remove the batteries from each of it's two correspondingly colored slots on the top & bottom To switch beams, you need to remove the batteries for both beams at the same time If you try to move a beam that's powered, you'll get zapped From the beginning battery placement, move the batteries around by picking them up with the X button, moving them (top can't go to bottom & vice versa), & placing them again with the X button, like this (this isn't necessarily the best or quickest way, but it works): B = Blue G = Green P = Purple R = Red W = White Y = Yellow To shorten things, as an example, "Top W to R" would mean move the Battery in the Top White Slot to the Top Red Slot - Top W To R - Bottom Y to G - Switch the White & Yellow Beams - Top G to Y - Bottom G to Y - Switch the White & Green Beams - Top B to G - Top P to W - Bottom B to G - Bottom P to W - Switch the Blue & Purple Beams - Bottom R to P - Top R to P - Switch the Red & Blue Beams _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ #8 The DNA Puzzle You need to fill in all of the blanks with the correct blocks of colored stripes so that yellow is always opposite red & blue is always opposite green throughout the string You can flip the blocks with the circle & square buttons A flipped block will be indicated by "(flipped)" beside it There are twelve blocks of colored stripes to choose from, & I'll refer to them as 1-12, numbered like so: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 The top row has three blanks; the blocks for these, left to right, 1-3, are: 1 - 9 (flipped) 2 - 7 (flipped) 3 - 12 The bottom row has nine blanks; the blocks for these; left to right, 1-9, are: 1 - 1 (flipped) 2 - 7 3 - 10 4 - 8 5 - 3 6 - 4 7 - 6 8 - 2 9 - 12 ______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ #9 The Turn-Based Strategy Puzzle You need to capture the enemy's flag before he captures yours. This is done by moving one of your soldiers next to the enemy's flag, moving the movement cursor on top of it, & selecting it Not really a puzzle, just basic strategy. Maneuver your Medium & Large Soldiers along one path taking out enemies & luring them away from their flag, while maneuvering your Small Soldiers along another path (if available; if not, just bring them in close behind the Medium & Large Soldiers) to capture it, except in the case of the fourth match, where you're given all Medium Soldiers; just use five or six of them for combat & luring & one or two to go after the flag; or just rush The AI is strictly defense (& not too sharp), so you don't actually really have to worry about them getting your flag, just killing all of your soldiers Continue to Use the gameboard until you've finished the four matches ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ #10 The Eight Colored Stones Puzzle You need to drop the colored stones into their corresponding slots using the cursor You must drop the bottom ones first, so that the top ones can rest on them The pattern differs between Normal & Hard Difficulties "Push the (insert color) stone-" is implied for each of these One Method for Normal Difficulty is: 1.
